Taking the Next Step Toward Self-Discovery

Guest Author's picture

Dearest Pinkies, please welcome Mojo Mentor and Pink Goddess of Intuition Caroline Diana Bobart. Caroline will be hosting the upcoming Owning Pink Self-Discovery Workshop, a bi-weekly teleconference series running from April 8 - June 17. (Pinkies have already signed up, so go ahead! We invite you to register soon.)

Welcome Caroline as she talks about the upcoming Self-Discovery workshop, the Pink Group Agreement, and the vast potential within all of us.

From the moment I first laid eyes on the Owning Pink website back in July, 2009, like many of us, I felt utterly moved to take a closer look at this creation that Lissa had birthed just a few months before. As both a natural and a trained professional intuitive, the urge was too irresistible for me to not take a look at whathis energy looked like on the unseen realms of awareness. What, I wondered, was the glue that was holding this community together and why on God’s green earth did it glow so brightly?! It had captured my imagination and was like nothing I’d quite seen before. It was incredible to me that all this goodness and love I was feeling coming from a community that had an online home. And so, during one of my daily meditations, I sat down to take a look at the energy flow and spiritual dynamics around Owning Pink that was causing such a visible stir in so many people’s lives.

What I saw

What I found was profoundly beautiful and as I looked at it, I could see that part of Lissa’s inspiration for birthing this creation was that intuitively, she’d been picking up on the unspoken communication from people on the same or similar wavelengths about the magic, healing and transformation that can take place in a like-minded community based on unconditional acceptance and love. As part of my inner explorations, The Pink Group Agreement was crystallized and subsequently adopted by the community to be shared with other Pinkies and consciously engaged.

One of the really unique things that I’ve noticed about Lissa’s style as a leader is that she has a huge heart and a spirit that comes alive and sparkles with celebration with each and every wave of passion, support and goodness that ripples through the community. Indeed, many would call her fearless. It has been such a huge process to witness the growth that both the community as a whole has taken since its conception as well as the Pinkies within it. What has been even more crucial is that Lissa and her team have effortlessly been able to keep pace and dimension with the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the community delivering tangible structures and supports upon which the community can continue to flourish and build. Perhaps the most visible and grounded of these is about to take physical form in the shape of the Owning Pink Center: the co-creation of the Owning Pink team and all Pinkies over the past months – those of you who have been sharing, growing, healing, integrating, processing and participating in Owning Pink Workshops, Mojo-Live Calls, posting and sharing on the Posse forum, blogs, and on many many other levels and less overt ways.

How the Self-Discovery Workshop Factors In

As a part of this momentous step-up into a place of more interactive, accessible, conscious vitality and wellness for Pinkies on the virtual side of things, I am thrilled to be leading the first ever online Owning Pink Self-Discovery Workshop which starts on April 8. This workshop series incorporates all the abilities and gifts that I bring to Owning Pink as a Mojo Mentor ... my intuition, clairvoyant and healing abilities, experience in creating sacred space, spiritual counseling, teaching and group work. Through the inherent multidimensionality of the 6th chakra or third eye, these sessions involve powerful guided visualizations created to meet each of us where we are on our spiritual path.

Within a shared group agreement we will light up and amplify the voice of our true Selves!

Self-Discovery is a process, and one of the most magical aspects of embarking upon a program like this with other Pinkies who are in agreement to their own healing and evolution - as well as that of others’ - is that there are no limits to the levels and layers on which you will be positively affected by this inner-work.

If you have been searching for a way to turn up the volume on your intuition, release your past and move forward into the future, a brighter, lighter, more on-purpose YOU in the company of other bright, capable souls, then perhaps you might consider that this Owning Pink Self-Discovery Series might have been created just for you. At this critical time in Owning Pink’s evolution, I’m so looking forward to sharing this 12-week journey with you, and seeing what magic we can create!

With love and exuberance,
Caroline

Note from Owning Pink founder Dr. Lissa Rankin:

Pinkies, I will be present, helping hold the sacred space, during these workshop. Caroline will be guiding us, but I am on my own path of self-discovery and can't wait to see what she has in store for us. Join us and take the next step towards realizing that you already have all that it takes to have all that you want. Big hugs and love- Lissa

Dear Megan, I'm sending what

Dear Megan, I'm sending what I posted on the NAMI website because I think it's important for me to learn how to own my pinkie. Since it would be a very long story if I shared everything that has happened in my life of 72 years (some of it very painful), I'm just sharing what I posted on NAMI. I'm very impressed with your website, and I’m really looking for someone to help me share my story, which I know will help other people learn how to cope with whatever comes along in life. I also want to help get mental illness out of the closet and get rid of the stigma, which is why I wrote to First Lady Rosalynn Carter. As you will see from the article that was on NAMI, Mrs. Carter quoted from my letter in her book titled FIRST LADY FROM PLAINS, which was really a surprise to me when I read the book. My picture was included with my article on NAMI, but it didn't print on this note. Love, Carole

Carole's Bio While First Lady Rosalynn Carter was in the White House, her main project was to develop a strategy for helping the mentally ill. When I read about Mrs. Carter’s project, I wrote a letter to her, but I was a little disappointed when I received a letter from her Director of Projects, Kathryn E. Cade. After Mrs. Carter was out of the White House, she wrote her book titled FIRST LADY FROM PLAINS; and a late friend of mine loaned me the book. I was reading the book in my living room when I came to the page that had the words from my letter on it. I almost fell off the chair when I read the following:

While in the White House, I received a letter from a Culver City, California housewife whose medical record of mental illness had prevented her from adopting children. She wrote: “I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to seek help if it’s going to be held against them for the rest of their lives. Solving mental problems should be like mending a broken leg, and no one carries the stigma of a broken leg around with them for the rest of their lives. Once the leg is mended, no one asks why it was broken.”

After I read Mrs. Carter’s book, I wrote two more letters to her because I wanted a letter from her. I finally received a handwritten letter from her on her personal stationery as follows:

Dear Carole,

I was pleased to hear from you again, and glad that you read my book. I have quoted from your letter to me at the White House many times.

Writing a book is a monumental task, but your story is very important. I do hope you will write it, and I wish you much success. Sincerely, Rosalynn Carter

I was finally diagnosed with bipolar, and I’m now taking Depakote and Celexa. I also go to Dr Abraham Low’s Recovery meetings, but the best remedy for me would be to come out of the closet because I am more than the housewife that Mrs. Carter mentioned in her book – I’m a writer. I’ve also read that bipolar can be triggered by not having a regular sleep schedule, misusing alcohol or drugs, stopping your medicine, having thyroid problems, seasonal changes, holidays, illness, disagreements with family and friends, problems at work, the death of a loved one, marriage, starting college, and starting a job.

Needless to say, the letter from Mrs. Carter is in a frame. I did write a book titled, SOUP, SEX AND SANITY on a small scale; but with the right kind of help, I want to write a best-selling book that will eventually be a movie which will once and for all get mental illness out of the closet and get rid of the stigma.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about the workshop - it sounds very interesting. I'm really a frustrated writer, and I want to find out how I can share the story of my life, which is very complicated.
