Like Walking Through The Brick Wall- Personal Story

Like Walking through A Brick Wall

My personal story by Deborah Moon Moen

 There came a time in my 40's that I came to learn how to stand on my own two feet. Suddenly I realized that no one was going to do it for me. 
I knew I was responsible for everything that I was experiencing.
I came to realize the only person that I could change was myself.
No more could I depend on others to make me happy or secure. 

I learned new ways of living and each new response to life was difficult because the old ways had become a habit.

Every time I changed an old pattern of belief or thought, it was like I was having to walk through a brick wall.
Waking up in the morning and getting through my day seemed as hopeless as walking through a brick wall.
But these were only my fearful perceptions.
In time, with practice, I was running free with so much of life before me.

Suddenly, I could not see that brick wall which I had painted in my mind. I saw only endless possibilities. I could see that for every response I made, life responded back to me, in magical ways. 

When my actions and responses supported my well-being,
it was well-being that reflected back to me.
That was the evidence that gave me faith and shifted me into my inherit power to create my own experiences. 

I was empowered beyond my wildest or conscious imaginings and I knew that I would never go back behind that brick wall again.

Making Wooden Freedom Flags

 

Making Wooden Freedom Flags

 One morning I woke up with an idea to paint wooden freedom flags. I could gather some wood and paint flags that represent the countries around the world that were bravely standing up for their human rights. I planned on displaying them outside in the garden to bring about awareness and support.  Thousands upon thousands of people around the world are demonstrating their desire to end  restrictions that are forced upon us in ways that take away our human rights. 

 

 I loved the idea and hopped out of bed to get my chores done. I went outdoors to find some spare lumber laying around the barn. I found just what I needed. Next I got my bow saw out of the shed to cut 12"x 6". pieces. I used 2 two saw horses and a large clamp to help me steady the wood as I cut. 

Cutting the lumber for the wooden flags.

My wooden boards were cut and sanded. I stacked them in a tub and brought them indoors to paint. I had my first list of countries written down that I was aware of. As the days passed there were more.

 

I began with Canada. It took awhile to get the right size and 

shape of the Canadian maple leaf. 

I looked up images of the flags and painted them with left . I used acrylic paint then a coat of Mod Podge gloss, and finished with a gloss sealer spray to weather proof them because I was hanging them outside in the garden for all to see..

 My husband helped me with the mounting screws and wire hooks. I hung the finished flags on our windmill

and the trellis in our garden box. 

American, German, French flags were
  hung on our windmill.

Canadian, Netherlands, Italian, and UK flags. 




 There are many people standing up in peaceful demonstrations for their freedoms, our freedoms. 

A wave of freedom and love of country is spreading across the globe. Many more citizens in other  countries are joining. Some countries are lifting some of their restrictions and a few have lifted all of the restrictions. There are some countries that are ruled by dictators that have not budged.

I enjoyed this ongoing project and feel good about bringing some awareness and good vibes to humanity.  

 You can pray

You can visualize/imagine a peaceful world

You can light candles with love towards our fellow man all over the world

If you are able peacefully demonstrate.

Make your signs for Peace Liberty, Democracy, and Human Rights

Manage your emotions 

Use discernment - don't react

Remember worry never solved any world problems

If you can, say no. 

And most of all keep yourself well. Choose a few techniques and use them. 

Let us choose Love Peace and Unity

 

That's all I have to say about that. ~ Forest Gump

Until next time, 

Do something to support this wave of change for humanity. Many call it The Great Awakening. Ask God to guide you. That is what I did. I received an answer within a few days.
