Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Inspiration Moments. I'm your host, Lynn Austin. We're
so excited for season two. This is a great time.
We're going through the readings on the bomb betting on
Me by Yours Truly for more information. The book is
available on Amazon and you can visit our website at
(00:22):
betting on Meat dot com for more great inspirational stories
and quotes.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So let's get right in. So we're gonna cover chapter four.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Chapter four is images, and so we're looking at how
various images throughout our childhood or in our life in
general can kind of shape how we think, feel and
see not only the world, but ourself in the world.
So I'm gonna take you through a series of snippets
or stories to kind of bring this point out, and
(00:56):
then at the end we'll talk about some strategies.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Images.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I could hear a lot of noise and carrying on
in the living room. My mother, my uncle, and some
friends were having a good time talking, catching up and
enjoying each other's company.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I was in the.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Back room with my brother and sister. We lived in Motown.
The sounds of Marvin Gaye, Smoky Robinson and the Temptation
drifted throughout the house, I heard laughter. I went into
the kitchen to get something to drink. In the kitchen,
there was a strange order.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It smelt like gas, but I wasn't sure there was
a gas leak somewhere, so I went to tell my
mom Ma, I smoke gas, I said, timidly, walking into
the living room. I knew that I wasn't allowed to
be around grown folks conversations. My mom would not be
pleased with me interrupting, what.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Are you doing in here?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know you're not supposed to be in the room
when adults are talking. My mother turned back to her guests.
I left and went back into the kitchen to be
sure it was definitely gas.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I looked down and walked back into the living room.
I knew I was right.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
My mom went into the kitchen, opened the oven door,
then went back into the living room, saying that she
didn't smell gas. I guess it was not important enough
for me to say anything else, and I didn't want
my mother to yell at me again, or to embarrass
her in front of her friends. So I turned around
and I left. I walked into the kitchen, where food
(02:30):
was cooking.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
In the oven.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I clearly smelled that gas. I opened the oven door
to prove it. Instantly, I felt a stream of heat
on my face and smelled hair burning. My face was
burning and my hair was on fire. Oh my god, my.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Mother shouted as she and my uncle ran into the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Somebody turned off the oven while my mom was beside
me and my uncle was putting the fire out in
my hair. But it was still stinging, and I could
feel the heat on my face and smell the unmistakable
scent of burning hair and human flesh. Am I going
to die? I said, my whole face stinging from the pain.
(03:13):
As my uncle finally got the flames out, I could
not see through my damaged eyelids.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They rushed me out, terrified, not knowing what to expect.
To the car.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
There, Thummer was sitting with the engine running while my
mom consoled me. He drove faster than I've ever seen
him drive. It burns, I cried, horrified. I had never
had anything this bad happened to me. I was in shot,
My hands were cold, my face still pulsed with pain,
and I was afraid to touch it. Everything's going to
(03:49):
be all right. They'll take care of you. Don't worry,
You're going to be fine. My mother struggled to sound calm,
but she was clearly as scared as I was. Don't worry,
She's going to be okay. The doctor puts his hand
on my mother's shoulder. A look in his eyes suggested.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That he knew her and that we were being.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Treated because of that. I was not aware of what
was going on. I was also in shock and unable
to think clearly, and they had given me some strong
pain medication. What about her face, my mom asked. The
damage is significant and she'll probably need plastic surgery. We
won't be able to determine to what extent for about
(04:30):
six months. The doctor said, I'll have several prescriptions for
you ointment send some antibioties. The rest is just time
that she'll need to heal. Thank you, doctor, and my
mother said, you're welcome. The doctor said, turning his head
as he pulled the door open. She's very fortunate that
(04:51):
you knew what to do in active fast. You should
be proud of that. My entire head was covered with bandages.
I felt like a mummy. I don't remember much of
anything else that day, but we went through the checkout paperwork,
and I had a wheel wheelchair ride to the car.
When I got home, I was very tired and went
(05:11):
to bed. After a few days, I was feeling more alert.
We were able to remove some of the bandages and
I could see a little. I got up out of
bed and went into the bathroom. My mother had covered
the mirror by taping newspaper in front of it so
that I couldn't see myself. I moved part of the
newspaper and carefully, out of the side of my eye,
(05:34):
glanced at my face, still half sceared to take a look.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I was horrified. I had never seen burns like that.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
My face was covered with mutilated skin and scap. I
felt so bad that I cried, and the tears stung
as the wrong wounds on my face. I looked like
a monster. That was the image I had of my
We always had dogs when I was growing up.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And I loved him.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
My favorite was Black Panther Panther as we called him.
He was a beautiful jet black laboratory retriever. He roamed
freely in the house.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And I would often play with him, tease him, and
pat him. He was the best.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
One day I saw Panther asleep on the floor in
the dining room of our house. His legs were twitching
like he was having a bad dream. I sat on
the floor next to him. I was patting him and
trying to tease and wake him a little. I must
have teased him a little too much. He came out
of his sleep and all of a sudden and snapped
at me. I had no time to move as he
(06:41):
sunk his teeth into my chin and upper lip. My
mother took me for yet another emergency visit at henry
Ford Hospital and stayed with me as the doctor put
forty three stitches in my face.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Panther had torn the muscle in my lip.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I have no muscle there and my lip hanging slightly
on the right to this day. I healed from all
my injuries with only minor permanent damage, but it took
many months. Thurman wanted to have Panther put to sleep
for biting me, but I cried and fought for my dog.
I knew that he didn't mean to hurt me. From
(07:17):
that day, he was extremely protective of me. When I
was twelve, my mom was injured seriously in a car accident.
She had surgery and she had surgery on her leg
and needed several months to heal. She had a metal
(07:37):
rod put into her leg and had difficulty relearning to
walk and get around. During this time, she also started
to gain weight. Thurman would often call her derogatory names
to mean her and cheat on her.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
This would often.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Result in their arguments, where time and time again he
would leave, come back, confess to having another woman, and return,
where were you last night? My mom would ask, where
do you think, thummand says smuggly. Tears filled my mother's eyes.
Can't you see what this does to me? Why do
you keep humiliating me? Look, you're old, fat and ugly.
(08:14):
I can have better, and I do. If you can't
handle that, I'll just go. Thurmann began to pack his
belongings yet again.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I saw my mother becoming very different from.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
How she had been before Thumman. My mother just sat
and cried. The next morning, Mom would either be in
a bad mood or vowing never to let him come back.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Then he would come back.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The more he left, cheated or they argued, the more
my mom began to devean and body shame me, mostly
in the way.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I walked or how I dressed or what I wore.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
If I was wearing a pair of jeans that I
really like, a style that may have been popular at
the time, she would start in on me.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
What are you wearing?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
My mom would ask my new jeens. I smiled, posing
do you like them?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Like them?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You look like a whore. The smile left my face.
I can't wear them, I asked my mom, you look
like a slut out walk in the street. I later
found out that Thumman, who had been much younger than
my mother approximately seven years, would say to her that
I looked better to him than she did after she.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Gained the weight, and that he could have me if
he wanted.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
This affected her so much that by the time I
was in high school, she only allowed me to wear
what she picked out for me and a pair of
men's genes that I had altered to fit. If I
don't know, I don't know that it bothered me that
I could not.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Wear jeans, But it did bother me the.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Way that my mother treated me and how I began
to see myself and the image I had for my body.
When it was time, my mother took me to a
gynecologist for my first checkup. Her name was doctor Rebecca Williams.
She was very kind and said I was in perfect health.
(10:11):
But after the exam the doctor was leaving, my mom
walked into the hallway and I heard her.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Speaking to doctor Williams. I want you to write a
prescription for birth control pills.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
She said, like she was giving the doctor an order.
The doctor smiled, missus Bonnet, there's really no.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Need for that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
She isn't sexually active and has no problems with her
minstrel cycling. I don't care if my mother said, getting
more agitated, there are side effects, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The doctor started looking a bit concern I want her on.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Birth control pills. I'm not going to tolerate a teen pregnancy.
My mother eventually got her way and the doctor wrote
the prescription. I felt like my mother was treating me
like a slug, you know, she had called me that before.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I had nothing to do with my actions.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I didn't understand it then, but my mother was reacting
to her relationship with Thunaman. But in my adolescent mind,
I thought my mother was ashamed of me and didn't
want me around. She was the one I looked to,
she was the one I was betting on to help
me understand my place in life. The derision of others
(11:24):
and the circumstances surrounding me left me doubting my self worth.
My early years were wrought with challenges that would continue
to affect me in my early childhood. I did not
know at the time that my best bet was me
and my ability to take everything that I experienced to
move me forward into the next sphase.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I had so much going for.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Me talent, intelligence, generosity, beauty, but I couldn't see these things.
I saw the reflection that image of myself and how
others around me, namely my mother, treated me. I was
betting on my family to define myself for my self
image and life purpose. I didn't realize it then, but
(12:12):
those things lie within, not outside of me. I only
needed to take my life, experience, circumstances and opportunities and
stand on them to get to the next level. Betting
on my family provided a place to live, food to eat,
support through grade school, and an appreciation for achievement.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
All of these things were great, and I don't complain
about it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I once had one of the young ladies that I
volunteered for ask me about the muscle in my mouth
or on my lip, and I said, well, you can't
see it when I smiled, So she said, what do
you do? So I said, I smile. We have of
(13:00):
ourselves has a tremendous effect on how we see ourselves
as well as what we think, do and achieve on.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A larger scale.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's one of the reasons I believe visualization exercises work
so well in helping us achieve various goals in our lives.
Visioning is used in planning in successful organizations, and similarly,
vision workshops set a stage.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
For what we want, why we want it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
How it feels to have it, and what you can
do with it. So as I usually do, here's a
couple strategies that I want to share.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So Number one, when we're.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Looking approaching that visioning and what we want for ourselves,
because we want to create that self image clear to
your mind, it's important to start at that clear mind stage. Two,
I want you to think of a time when you succeeded.
It's so important to build that emotion, that positive energy
that helps you see what it feels like to be successful.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Three.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Then I want you to set that goal and I
want you to focus a little bit on why you
want to set that goal. Number four, I want you
to tap deeper into the emotion. What does it feel like,
what do you see, what do you sense? And then five,
I want you to set on this inspired action, one
little step that heads you toward that path. This is resetting,
(14:37):
re focusing, restaging that self image.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And what we're able to do as a result of it.
And with that we're gonna conclude. I hope you enjoyed
this session again.

to affect me in my early childhood. I did not
know at the time that my best bet was me
and my ability to take everything that I experienced to
move me forward into the next sphase.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I had so much going for.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Me talent, intelligence, generosity, beauty, but I couldn't see these things.
I saw the reflection that image of myself and how
others around me, namely my mother, treated me. I was
betting on my family to define myself for my self
image and life purpose. I didn't realize it then, but
(12:12):
those things lie within, not outside of me. I only
needed to take my life, experience, circumstances and opportunities and
stand on them to get to the next level. Betting
on my family provided a place to live, food to eat,
support through grade school, and an appreciation for achievement.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
All of these things were great, and I don't complain
about it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I once had one of the young ladies that I
volunteered for ask me about the muscle in my mouth
or on my lip, and I said, well, you can't
see it when I smiled, So she said, what do
you do? So I said, I smile. We have of
(13:00):
ourselves has a tremendous effect on how we see ourselves
as well as what we think, do and achieve on.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A larger scale.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's one of the reasons I believe visualization exercises work
so well in helping us achieve various goals in our lives.
Visioning is used in planning in successful organizations, and similarly,
vision workshops set a stage.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
For what we want, why we want it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
How it feels to have it, and what you can
do with it. So as I usually do, here's a
couple strategies that I want to share.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So Number one, when we're.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Looking approaching that visioning and what we want for ourselves,
because we want to create that self image clear to
your mind, it's important to start at that clear mind stage. Two,
I want you to think of a time when you succeeded.
It's so important to build that emotion, that positive energy
that helps you see what it feels like to be successful.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Three.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Then I want you to set that goal and I
want you to focus a little bit on why you
want to set that goal. Number four, I want you
to tap deeper into the emotion. What does it feel like,
what do you see, what do you sense? And then five,
I want you to set on this inspired action, one
little step that heads you toward that path. This is resetting,
(14:37):
re focusing, restaging that self image.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And what we're able to do as a result of it.
And with that we're gonna conclude. I hope you enjoyed
this session again.
