When she wrote this my mouth just hung open in the shock of how simple yet how true her words were. We came up with a simple technique to help her realize when her clown-faced mother was talking from the grave. We would drown out her words with a honking clown horn like Harpo Marks used to honk instead of talking. All of a sudden we started to laugh so hard. We really didn't have a horn, just the Yahoo image with the clown face and a horn. She began to hear and see her mother as the clown-faced fake that filled her head with negativity. She was deleting her negativity with the laughter, and that made the fear go away.

We all have some skewed notions that have been put in our heads, starting with those perfectionism ones. When we can eliminate this Body Clutter from our brains we can begin to replace that corrupted programming with a new way of living our lives, loving ourselves and laughing at the funny things we do.

We no longer have to live in shame thinking that someone is going to find out our dirty little secrets. I want for you what I have: peace. This peace came from replacing the negative programming with kind voices to love me!

Are you ready to FLY and throw away that clown face that is haunting you?
