Last week’s Blog pointed out “Personal Freedom” as July’s theme. Personal Freedom
is defined differently by everyone. However, universally, Freedom is a catalyst that
leads to enhanced expression and a higher quality of life. For most of us, it feels good
to move forward and be free of limitations. Wanting more in life could be looked
upon as being selfish, however, it is necessary to maintain healthy self-expression.
Many are now feeling the desire to move forward and explore new spaces,
possibilities and opportunities once thought of as unattainable. This mid-point of
2022 is a perfect springboard to acknowledge feelings of being held back in ways
you previously might not have been able to verbalize.
As your “Hampered” situations come up for review and possible overhaul, you might
find yourself looking for a starting point. If this is the case, you are not alone!
Releasing past stories and desiring to create new ones is exactly what this month’s
energy is promoting. The Full Moon on July 13th is also helping us see where we are
stuck or “Hampered.”
In 2019, after lots of observation, comparing patterns, beliefs, and universal
limitations, I published a Modern Fable: The Wilber Effect. The setting of The Wilber
Effect is a Louisiana Bayou. I am from there and know the behavior of the Blue Crabs
very well. If you put one crab in a fisherman’s hamper (a wooden basket), it will crawl
right out to find a better (safer) environment. But, if you put a bunch of crabs in a
hamper, they find it familiar and comfortable, even if is not!
Deciding to share a message by creating a non-human character and story to
represent all humans and their most human behaviors might seem odd. But I quickly
realized that it is always easier to talk about Wilber and the situations he and his
family were working through than talking about stories in real life!

LIVING EMPOWERED
Cindi’s Blog July 14. , 2022
Wilber’s story and his cast of characters represent different perspectives of how
effectively we deal with growth and change including how it affects those around us.
Both growth and change are necessary qualities to move past “Hampers” and
ultimately create Personal Freedom. This Fable also offers a “Formula” to help you find
your starting point and ends each chapter with questions.
The message focuses on our role in creating the life we want.
Understanding where you are and where you want to go in life gives you a powerful
advantage. The key is knowing that you have within you the power to change.
Writing The Wilber Effect moved me out of many of my self-imposed “Hampers.” If
you are looking for a starting point to “Un-Hamper” parts of your life, take a look at
The Wilber Effect on my website www.thewilbereffect.com
Love to all,
