The reference to men as "boo-boo's".

(shows how much I remember their tripe, that's all that's stuck with me) lol

Be a great day drives me crazy!!

"How we livin ladies"

Technically, this is a duplicate of:

But since that's getting a bit old and long, I'll let this thread be the successor. You may, however, wish to refer to the original for other weird LC behavior.

Yeah...the "shout to the Universe" crap is what gets to me.

Be your authentic self... Whatever that means???

All of Iyanla's MESSY exercises

Agreed. Especially having NuLisa sit in the moldy,scum infested
kiddie pool. Yuck!! Does she have to go home with 9 kinds of infectious bacteria to start over? And the "clean the filthy frig" exercise for Alison.I thought the roaches were going to come and carry them off at any moment.

LOL. Her life may be a mess, but her immune system will be brand, spanking new.

And the "clean the filth" fridge was Allison's exercise. I actually enjoyed watching her go through that -- sadistic, vicious, morally compromised creature that I am.

~AR~

Hi Alpharedhead: If Allison had been carried off by the roaches during that exercise and I was kind of rooting for that too.She would have been yelling "Wait............my makeover."

Boy those roaches really missed out on an opportunity for some positive PR.

So who will play the roaches in the Be the HG thread?

I'll take the roaches. I can think of a few HG I wouldn't mind carrying off.Like me their a little nasty but strong enough to survive a nuclear blast.Can they drag a wagon behind them and carry gags and restraints?

Whatever turns you on.

"Be your authentic self" means be true to yourself, be who you really are, and not be the fake person that you show everybody else.

Yeah, I know but it's still a stupid "ism". Where I come from we just say what we mean -"Just be yourself."

"Stand in your majesty"

"Embrace your (fill in the blank)"

jeez........I'm often embarassed for them.

>jeez........I'm often embarassed for them.

ME, TOO!

I personally HATE the fact Rhonda always ends with, Live a fearless day!" That seems to suggest that the problems everyone has are fear based. If I were in the SOH I would fear Rhonda, that woman's not right!

In order for me to "Live a fearless day" in the SOH? Rhonda would have to not show up. Honestly? I am less fond of Iyanla these days as in the past. It seems to me that Iyanla spews platitudes and ruminations instead of anything useful. DR.STAN? WHERE ARE YOU?

Have "tools" to use.

Be "authentic".

Own it.

It would be hard for me to have a "fearless day" living in the SO house with a psycho-b!tch like Kelly!

LAST EDITED ON 03-13-06 AT 02:18 PM (EST)

Rhonda saying "Live a fearless day" is nothing more than a commercial for her "Fearless Living" products (Fearless Living Institute, her book, etc.)
These sound bites and taglines are annoying. Why can't they just say "How are you doing?" or "Have a nice day" instead of trying to sound so "empowering"? Are they hoping that any of these empty greetings or sayings will catch on and sweep the country? Kind of like "Where's the Beef?" (which is exactly what I ask myself when I watch this show - IMHO, there is no substance to it anymore, just drama for drama's sake.)

I actually think that the subject of grace is an interesting and valid one. I looked it up in the dictionary and it means A LOT of things, but some of the important ones are:

Decency
Good will, a disposition to grant something freely
Mercy, clemency
The free, unmerited love and favor (of God)
A state of reconciliation (with God)
Spiritual instruction, improvement or edification

It has to do with mercy and compassion, which IMO they do not emphasize enough in Starting Over. It is one of the few things that they have said that has to do with other people, and not self.

I used to like it when Iyanla said all that stuff about majesty and magnificence and our power as women and goddesses, but now it is getting on my nerves. Maybe because it seems undeserved by the women this year.

Sorry to get so heavy on y'all. Love your comments. LOL

"I used to like it when Iyanla said all that stuff about majesty and magnificence and our power as women and goddesses, but now it is getting on my nerves. Maybe because it seems undeserved by the women this year."

IMO the reason it's getting old is because they keep spouting the -isms in almost every scene they appear in. Maybe Iyanla is in the wrong business, maybe she should be a spiritual advisor to the stars or a psychic friend.

Mercy and compassion is not a part of Rhonda's schtick so I think it's strange that she would talking about this. Usually with her it's all about humiliation and vindictiveness.

The topic of grace would have sounded better if it had come from Dr Stan's mouth IMO

LAST EDITED ON 03-11-06 AT 04:46 AM (EST)

The sarcasm is what I find most annoying and IV seems to be full of it more this year than last. Her falling on the floor and grabbing her chest trying to be all dramatic is idiotic. Telling Jill to grab her pearls was stupid too. Sometimes I think IV has no idea what to say so she just says something stupid just to hear her own voice. Her butchery of the english language is appalling for someone so educated although I know most her schooling was from less than high class places. Saying she'll go Brooklyn on someone is annoying too.

Yeah - I think Iyanla somewhere has got all the answers. And I ask you, where would she be without that crutch?

Hello ladies!

However, Rhonda still strikes a good chord with me. If you have someone in your life that is full of BS, Rhonda's no BS stance comes off as a desirable approach.

Isn't really an ism, but Iyanla's "I know who you really are"". If she said that to me, I'd be scared s***less!!!

I keep expecting deep voiced demons to answer "What do you want from us?"

____________________________________________________________________________

I'd rather be at Disneyworld

"Deep-voiced demons"--LMAO!!

Maybe Iyanla is missing her true calling--exorcist!

I too like Rhonda. One thing that IV says that drives me insane is when she says "I smell a lie". OMG she didn't smell Allisham's lies and those stunk to high heaven, as did Christina's. Her saying Is that resistance I smell? I smell resistance!" to Jill was a laugh riot too. She probably can't smell anything over the incense that must be caked in her nasal cavities along with the odor of the magic potions she has people like Lisa2 use <rolling eyes>. Sorry just can't stand IV much this season.

Maybe Allison used odorless lies!

It seems that her sh!t didn't stink, so maybe her lies didn't either.

"moving through the process"

"resisting the process"

" I really felt like I was present", "I was present during that conversation" Well of course you were you stupid retards, if you were there and involved then you were for sure present. I swear this show is gonna drive me nuts.

Today's show brough this little gem from Rhonda:

::standing with Kelly by the tree::

Live is a tree

*gag me*

Triggering you
Reflection of you
'getting it' in their heads and not their hearts

Delicious

booty dance
burning things, throwing things, smashing things, drawing and labeling things

those hugs. Is it really necessary to hug everytime you talk?
"How were your eggs this AM?" - OHH, BIG HUG!

Hey - I just took a dump in the toilet - I need a hug!

Come on. Save it for your moment of 'clarity', when you 'get it', and have stop resisting the 'process'.

Hey - like Dr. Phil says - you know what you know and what you don't know.

eh?

Bleck

Of course, it comes from IV-

...the POWWW- WAAAAHHHHHH of who we are!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many where do you start:

My most annoying award has to go to:

Ask the universe for what you want

Being present

Resisting the process (especially when they have no clue why they are doing what they are doing)

I particuraly hate it when they start using their isms in a battle of words against each other.

I'm being my authentic self as I call you a b*tch and you're not repecting my need to express my inner child.

I must say I was impressed when Cassie broke down with Rhonda because accidently she expressed my greatest annoyances with the season when she was talking about feeling lower than the other woman because she was there to work on such basic issues as finding a job and getting housing and she really couldn't understand their issues.

Did anyone catch the mumbo-jumbo closing that Rhonda gave after the jealousy group? I was laughing but didn't write it down. I thought I'd remember, but it made no sense to me. I THINK she meant it's okay to feal jealous as long as you're aware of it, but it was more abstract than put it out to the universe and let it be out there.... it really made little to no sense...

But even more entertaining was Jodi to Kelly in the first debriefing after the 'Kim-Kelly Door Slamming Clarification, oh and yeah, don't go in my bathroom either Conflict of 06'. Jodi asks something like, did you use the triggers and mirrors? Did that help?

Clearly she has less of an understanding of triggers and mirrors than even I do.

Hi Twinkles. I read your post and just watched my tape, so I thought I'd transcribe it.

Rhonda says - "Be honest. The fact is that what we are jealous about is a pathway to the things we want to learn about ourselves. What you're jealous about - is the things that you want for yourself. So I want you to contemplate on how jealousy can be a pathway for you of self growth, and you can use it to point the way to what area you're afraid to take reponsability for in your life. You're not powerless there, it's actually where your power lies... you just have to go and claim it."

Hmmm... I'm too tired right now to comment. But that's what she said.

Thanks for transcribing. I'm sorry you went to all that trouble. It was just the very last part where I went, "huh?"

"you're not powerless there, it's actually where your power lies... you just have to go and claim it."

I don't understand what the "there" is and where your power is and what she means by claiming power. Maybe this isn't gobledy speak, but she lost me.

It wasn't a problem to transcribe - just a short passage. I think jealousy is an interesting topic.

Some of the messages from the life coaches do leave me wondering - is it truly possible to be a completely self-actualized person who never falls into any emotional traps?

But I did find Rhonda's take on jealousy as a way to focus on what we want for ourselves an interesting idea. That if you want something, start working towards it.

Doh - that makes my head hurt. Am I the only one that has to kinda sit in these thoughts for a while? I mean, I'm college educated,I have a BA. Now, granted, I have been at home with a child for 3 years, but ouch. It's this circular logic that gets me to thinking - eh? HUH? REWIND. It's almost like they want to confuse you into healing yourself via the 'universe' which is 'out there' for the taking. Maybe it's just me.

One that has gotten a lot of play recently;

"I'm standing in my truth." or "I stood in my truth."
Sounds more like you're standing in pooh.

And the ever popular, "I'm being present in the moment."

Edited for speeling.
