    Permission to Surrender

    I'm celebrating that this is my 40th episode! For 40 weeks, I've shared stories and insights with you and have loved it. Thank you for being part of my journey and inviting me to be part of yours.  So grateful!  And, I've decided to pause the podcast for the summer.   In this episode, I reflect on the joys of the podcast and on lessons learned since its launch.  I also share how while meditating, the word "surrender" popped into my mind and how I've been exploring what does to surrender mean? How does one go about it?  In asking, answers came in different and interesting ways.   During the summer, I'm going to reassess, realign, redefine and continue to polish the concept behind Creative Permissions. So stay tuned!   I wish you a magical summer.  And, as I'm writing these notes, a song from my favorite Colombia singer, Fonseca, keeps popping in my mind so I leave you with it: "Ser feliz sale barato Caminar sin zapatos Salir con los amigos Pasar un buen rato Por eso beso lento Y perdono rápido El rencor soltando"   Not the exact translation, but my take is happiness is a choice.  So, wishing you a summer filled with magic, great friends, and mucho love.   Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.  I would also love to know how you deal with disappointment.  What do you do to prioritize yourself?  What does it mean to love yourself?   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.     Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions

    Permission to Have a Hard Time Prioritizing Self

    This week I experienced disappointment.  In previous episodes, I've shared with you my focus on health and the various things I've changed to move forward on my health-related goals. I've changed my diet. I exercise almost daily. I meditate. And, I've had success such as healing from cancer, getting stronger, growing an inch, but one metric was pending.   Last week I got the results from my bone density test and these were not what I was hoping for. Since the previous test in 2024, I've continued to experience bone loss, which was so disappointing.    What do you do when you experience disappointment?  In this episode, I reflect on the disappointment and how I may have fallen a little off the health wagon and back into old habits that are not aligned with my new identity.   Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.  I would also love to know how you deal with disappointment.  What do you do to prioritize yourself?  What does it mean to love yourself?   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.   Takeaways: Disappointment happens when one's expectations are not fulfilled.  It's just a red flag in our journey that indicates an opportunity to "reshuffle the cards" and create new pathways and experiences. Prioritizing self is challenging for some women, but so necessary.  By prioritizing ourselves, we are "putting the oxygen mask first" and then able to continue supporting all those we love. What does loving yourself mean? It's not a final destination, but a continuous journey.   Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions

    Messages from Beyond

    Have you ever heard people talk about how they get messages from their loved ones that have passed?  Or talk about how they were thinking about a person and suddenly that person calls? Or been looking for a lost object and then unexpectedly they get information about where this object is?   I love getting nudges from the Universe.  It reminds me that in some way we are all connected.   In this episode I'm excited to share with you an experience that surprisingly happened on my Mother's birthday.  My Mom passed away five years and I miss her dearly.  If heaven only had cell service, but seems like it does, just in a different way.    Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.   Takeaways: Everyone can get messages from the Universe and loved ones that have passed away.  Be open to the possibilities and paying attention to your inner and outer environment.  The nudges may not necessarily be loud, but they will be things you will recognize.      Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions

    Facilitating Miracles

    During the summer of 2024, I made my Mom's dream come true.  I visited Lourdes, France where Mother Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette in February 1858.  My Mom had always wanted to visit Lourdes and so when I had the opportunity to go, I took it without any hesitation.   Lourdes is a very special and sacred place.  People from all over the world visit for different reasons.  Some are asking for miracles, some are giving thanks for the miracles received, some want to experience the Energy of the place.   In this episode, I share my experience when visiting Lourdes in June 2024 and how I facilitated a miracle for a friend's relative.  It reminded me of the importance of asking with an open heart and having the faith to carry on.   The fact that I found out about this miracle is another miracle in and of itself.  My friend's relative lives in a different country and we happen to connect only when she visits, maybe once a year. I had no idea of her miracle until she sought me out at an event and shared the amazing news.  Perhaps you are facilitating miracles too.   Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.   Takeaways: Miracles happen every day.  It helps to ask with an open heart and have the faith to carry on.   We may be facilitating magic and miracles and not even know about it. So why not ask to be the facilitator of magic and miracles every day? What a huge contribution that is.     Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions

    The Power of 8

    How would you like to participate in a group that is setting healing and peace intentions?   In my last episode, I talked about not tolerating things and mentioned how I would sometimes avoid things because I thought there was nothing I could do.  But in 2023, I was introduced to Lynne McTaggart and the Power of 8 circles.   Lynne McTaggart is a journalist that has worked with many prestigious scientists conducting experiments about the power of groups and mass intention.  In her book, The Power of 8, she shares how she led a peace experiment focused on Sri Lanka and the results that came from that.  And since then, I have wanted to start a Power of 8 circle and finally am.   My friend Grace Miller and I are starting a Power of 8 circle that will meet the last Wednesday of every month.  We will be setting intentions and collectively as a group focus on the intention for the week.   Interested in participating?  Send me a message and I'll be happy to share the details.  Our first Power of 8 is happening next Wednesday, April 30th.  Obviously, space is limited, but if we have reached our target of 8, maybe it's an opportunity for you to start your Power of 8 circle.   Excited about the possibilities and looking forward to sharing with you any insights we get from our Power of 8!   Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.   Takeaways: When a group gets together and focuses on an intention, there is an impact that happens, not only on the target, but on the group participants as well. If you have ever felt like there was nothing you could do to help a situation because it was happening on the other side of the world, because you don't have the resources, or whatever the reason, participating in a Power of 8 circle provides the opportunity to do something about it. If you are interested in participating in our Power of 8 circle or want to start your own, send me a message and we will make change happen!     Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions

    Permission to Not Tolerate

    What is the difference between having a good life and a great life?  Well, there are many reasons, but this past week I noticed that I was tolerating things.  If you have a pebble in your shoe, it hurts and so immediately you take it out.  But are there things that bother you just a little and so you tolerate them?  I know I do.   In this episode, I realized that there are many little things that bother me, but not necessarily enough to look for better options.  At work, I was doing something that bothered my boss and she didn't tolerate it. In fact, she asked me about the situation, helped me change it and it made my life so much better.  Since then, I've been asking myself, am I tolerating this? Can it be any better?   And then magic happened!  I was at an event and when I went to pay for parking, the system said I owed $45 for two hours.  For a split second, I thought about paying for it because to fix it, I had to take the elevator, find the office, and relay my story. So, I was being lazy, but instead I decided not to tolerate it.  I took the elevator, found the office, talked to the customer service rep, waited for a response and got free parking!     Questioning whether I'm tolerating things encouraged me to start a Power of 8 Circle with my friend Grace.  Will tell you more about it in the next episode, but I'm excited for the possibilities!   Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.   Takeaways: We all want a great life, are there any things in your life that you are tolerating and may be leading to good instead of great? When we experience pain or significant discomfort, we immediately do something to alleviate the pain, but frequently we may tolerate the little things that bother, but not enough to do something about it. Ask yourself if there is anything that you are tolerating.  Is there anything that could be better? And if the answer is yes, do something to change and go from good to better to great.  It's worth it!   Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions

    Permission to Grow an Inch

    The human body is amazing!  It's an exquisite system that we don't really know how it all works and frequently, we take for granted.   I didn't really give my body much thought until I got sick.  It just worked and I was grateful for that, but didn't really go the extra mile to take care of it.  After finishing chemo and radiation for breast cancer, my bone density test results indicated that I had lost about 8% bone density and due to medications, I'm at high risk of losing even more.  My oncologist suggested another medication to help reduce the potential for more bone loss, but the side effects sound horrible, so I decided to try a different route.   For almost a year, I have been more focused on nutrition and exercise.  On the nutrition side, I've been adding green smoothies from recipes from Chris Wark and Dr. Brooke Goldner.  Every week my goal is to walk at least 9 miles and a few months ago, I signed up for sessions as OsteoStrong, a company dedicated to skeletal strength conditioning.   More recently, my husband gifted me sessions with Zach, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic personal trainer.   My next bone density test is at end of this month and I can't wait to see what the results are.  In the meantime, my blood work shows that I no longer need to take calcium or vitamin D.  I just found out that the strength of my grip in my hands increased about 20 points (I have a bit of neuropathy from chemo) and I grew an inch!  At 55, I grew when the world keeps telling me that I am supposed to be shrinking.   In this episode, I reflect on the importance of taking care of our body, the amazing system that allows us to have the experience of being alive!   Let me know what stood out for you and share your thoughts by leaving a review.   You can also connect with me on Facebook or Instagram at Creative Permissions. I'd love to hear from you!   If you want to watch this episode on video, you can visit my channel on Youtube at Creative Permissions.   Takeaways: It's up to us to take great care of our body.  When we take care of it, it responds and supports us in having the adventures of a lifetime. Nutrition and hydration are building blocks to health and there are fun and delicious ways of fueling our body.  Check out ChrisBeatCancer.com and Goodbyelupus.com as examples. Strengthening bones and muscles takes effort, but it is so rewarding!  Check out OsteoStrong for tips on strengthening your bones and Zach the owner/founder of Complete Health and Wellness for additional insights. Sleep is another key ingredient, check out Why We Sleep by Mathew Walker for more insights on the importance of sleep.     Connect with Patty: Facebook: facebook.com/pattycruz.creativepermissions Instagram: instagram.com/Patty_CreativePermissions
