Living Hope- Steps to Leaving Suffering Behind

Living Hope- Steps to Leaving Suffering Behind

 

Could you still find joy in life if you had lost all the loved ones in your family to tragedy that included fire and murder? Lynne did and she is here to tell you how she is still Living Hope.

As an infant, Lynne Cockrum-Murphy survived a tragic house fire that claimed her father and two sisters and left her with severe burns over much of her body. She lived most of her life with a severely depressed and alcoholic mother, who shared with Lynne at five years old her thoughts of suicide. She lived through her stepfather being crushed to death in a logging accident and her mother being murdered in a bar-room robbery.

The only reason Lynne Cockrum-Murphy survived the fire is because her father carried her out first before running back in for her sisters, where they all perished.

Tragedy stuck three year old Lynne living in an idyllic family in Northern California.

Raised by a mother whose life was shattered by the tragedy, Lynne’s childhood was jolted again when her step-father died in a logging accident a few years later and culminates in the murder of her mother years later. That could have been the end of any hope of happiness, but it wasn’t. Living Hope follows life from those tragedies forward to today.

After all she has been through Lynne is radiantly happy and living a life of pure service to the world, don’t you think she can teach us a thing or two?

Lynne’s transcendent spirit knew there must be something better ahead.

 

Hear how Lynne endlessly searched for answers and with much time, trial and error, wise teachers, communal support, deep research and reading, and personal introspection….

She ultimately triumphed over her pain and suffering.

During Lynne Cockrum-Murphy’s interview on the Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos Show she shares how she found the steps to a joyful, deeply fulfilling life that includes a loving partner and a calling to help others. It’s those steps she interweaves in her book, Living Hope, as she tells her own remarkable story that takes her from surviving to thriving.

In Lynne’s case, instead of giving in to family dysfunction, she moved beyond the events of the past and writes about dealing with trauma, loss, abuse, family alcoholism and shows you there is a way to inner peace.

Listeners will discover how they can:

  • end the karma that has them on a hamster wheel of suffering.
  • escape the powerlessness that has them in its grip.
  • live through loss, poverty, depression and find the joy in their soul.
  • learn to trust –even after being betrayed and deceived.
  • make life-affirming decisions.
  • leave behind their “smallness” and rise into their greatness

What People are Saying about Lynn and her amazing work:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Soul: Volunteerism.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Soul: Volunteerism.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Soul: Volunteerism.

Have you ever met a soul hitchhiker? Robert Clancy is a soul hitchhiker. But, then so are you!

What is a soul hitchhiker?

Robert Clancy says that “soul hitches” occur every day in interactions with others. Robert defines soul hitches as, any interaction-large or small-that changes how one views oneself, an event or the world. A chance run-in with a stranger or an intimate conversation with a family member creates an indelible imprint on our soul. You hitch a ride on someone’ else’s soul and you are changed forever.

Consider soul-hitches as hitching a ride on a big beautiful cosmic highway!

And how does one experience more of these incredible life-altering experiences? One amazing way is by volunteering-by putting yourself out in the world to help others. Says Clancy, “The more you reach out and help others, the more you’ll be guided on your highway naturally.”

What a beautiful thought that creates a powerful positive reaction. If thoughts are waves then Robert’s must be busy creating butterfly effects worldwide. The Butterfly Effect is a concept that small causes may have large effects.  

In this radio interview with Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos of Wicked Housewives On Cape Cod ® TV/Radio, Volunteerism and Love are at the heart of Robert’s Clancy’s message shared in his empowering book which is an evocative collection of Inspirational stories and transcendental journeys that transform the way you think about community service and humanity.

THE SHOW LINK IS POSTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE.

Clancy shares with you wisdom from his inspiring book filled with incredible tales and travels, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Soul: A Collection of Scenic Views of Volunteerism, Transcendental Encounters with Kindred Spirits and Lessons in Compassion.”

Robert Clancy is a soul-filled travelogue of experiences in which volunteerism is the catalyst for life-changing events and joyful interaction.

Hear Robert share how this awesome book is born from his own passion to serve, which began when he was just six years old.

Today, Robert blends his beautiful consciousness into his business life as co-founder and managing partner of Spiral Design Studio, one of the largest full-service graphic design and web development firms in the Northeast. Spiral Design’s clients include dozens of corporations, educational & healthcare organizations, non-profits and startups, including Citigroup, Home Depot, Sears, Activision, Disney, among many others.

Listen as tales of volunteerism are charmingly relayed by Robert Clancy. You can feel the power and passion of his love for humanity in his words.

Balancing his corporate commitments with his lifelong love and compassion for humanity, Clancy supports ongoing volunteerism within his business and his everyday life. His dedication to community – at both the regional and national levels – inspires his team and encourages youth, as well as professional leaders, to step up and give back. Robert takes he concept of “paying it forward” to a whole new level.

Says legendary actor, author and philanthropist Hugh O’Brian, who wrote the book’s foreword, “Robert is one of those people to whom I tip my hat. He is a dedicated volunteer who completely embodies the spirit of service-a selfless commitment to helping others in order to make a positive difference in the world.”

However, Clancy may best be known by the general public for his Facebook fan page, “Robert Clancy-Guide to the Soul”, https://www.facebook.com/GuideToTheSoul/ which has a quarter of a million followers worldwide. Here, he offers divinely inspired thoughts and reflections that provide wisdom, thoughtfulness and encouragement to people hungry to get more out of life.

 

And so it follows naturally, that his second book, Daily Downloads and Fortune Cookies from the Universe, provides inspirational thoughts within nine uplifting categories–faith, hope, love, compassion, giving, peace, happiness, strength and leadership–to help center one’s spirit and encourage compassion for humanity.

 

This collection of nuggets is guaranteed to put a smile on someone’s face, create acozy warmth and motivate one to make a difference.

Listen! Nature is Calling!

Listen! Nature is Calling!

Perhaps you have heard the saying, “When nature calls, we must answer, or have an accident.” Well, what if answering nature is easier said than done? Here is a true story with a new twist to that old saying.

My cousin and I were backing out of the driveway in the golf cart on our way to lunch at the Country Club when I heard a phone ring. You know, the new cool ring-tones you download into your cell phone from iTunes or the Apple app store?

We looked at each other and asked at the same time, ”Is that your cell phone’s new ring- tone?”

As we both shook our head no, the phone rang again… in the tree beside the street.

As we looked up in the direction of the ring tone, looking down on us was a large Mocking Bird. To complete the joke he rang us one more time.

“Hello?” I answered to which the bird promptly flew away to mess with someone else’s head.

Nature is amazing and is always listening. It also seems to have a sense of humor.

The next time you hear an annoying cell phone that keeps ringing and you cannot locate its owner look up in the nearest tree. Nature may be calling.

Writing with Bungee Cords: A Technique for Authors

Writing with Bungee Cords: A Technique for Authors

 

I really slept in late this morning. By late, I mean well past 12:00–noon. But then, I was up well past 2:00am finishing two more chapters in my book. Many 2s and wells there. Synchronicity?


Once I am writing “in the zone” it’s difficult to break my concentration and stop typing. 

“Leave the rest for tomorrow,” is not in my vocabulary. By mid-chapter, I am driven. Forget food and water.

I’m quite content in my self-inflicted jail cell.


This driven feeling is more than work ethic or time restraint. It is emotionally based. Painful memories must be dragged out of  hibernation, (often kicking and screaming,) from behind locked mental doors,  convert them into word and sew them to page before they can snap back into the dark bowels of my mind like a bungee cord. It is much like reluctantly remembering a nightmare months after having had it–a struggle on many levels.

So why would I inflict such masochism on myself?

How does that saying go? “Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.” Your journal can become the skeleton for your book. My notes from my first battle with breast cancer helped me live through stage 4 the second time. Those journals and memories became my emotionally packed book.

My story is unconventional, but not unique. 

Doctors are human. Scientific tests are only as accurate as the people who perform and read them. Life is not infallible. But Inner-guidance from dreams validated in the waking world just might be.

My second book is more than halfway complete because I have my own style of cutting out my literary pattern and sewing it together with a running stitch that can be removed to make adjustments. 

I write the beginning and ending of my book–then fill in the middle.

By using this technique, I always know where I am and where I’m going with a story that is filled with impassioned twists and turns.  It gives me a mental edge–no floundering around in the dark while retrieving dark memories. I never feel like I have wandered off the books path. Rather than holding one tread of the story’s line in my mind, I have two. This extra balance anchors my writing so I can interject humor yet not wander away from the serious nature of the main theme.

Writing a book is much like sewing a garment.

Somewhere between the beginning and the end product, areas no longer fit. Some seams must be let out, others taken in, and extra material trimmed.

But, I always save my scraps because they could be the collar of another adventure.
