Margaret reflects on what it means to truly present in the moment, of taking time to pause and consider where we've been, where we are now, and where we are heading, and how life can be dramatically enriched by finding the joy in everything we do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Thoughts and feelings drift through us and around us like water in a stream or clouds in a sky. We should delight in them as we delight in the passing of nature.
Everyone hopes they will avoid the worst that life has to offer, but unfortunately these experiences happen, causing great suffering. But at the same time trauma can also be a powerful force for awakening.
Transformation happens to people for a higher purpose. This is evident in the experiences of the great leaders of the world most of which have overcome and conquered traumas and adverse challenge.
Darkness can cause suffering, but also joy. We can take any situation and find the wonder in it, even if it simply the recognition of our resilience and strength.

BEST MOMENTS

'I observe the stream of water flowing'

'What is it then that brings meaning to life?'

'Dealing with trauma is a long process - truly a death leading to a rebirth'

'Trauma sent them on a path that they never would have found otherwise'

ABOUT THE HOST

A few years ago, Margaret underwent several life-threatening traumas, including domestic abuse, and almost killed by her ex-partner, kidney and brain cancer, mental health issues, and a near-death experience. Her life was encapsulated in darkness, and she welcomed the thought of dying. From a breakdown to a breakthrough, these words from Viktor Frankl’s book, Man's Search For Meaning, changed her life forever: “The existence of life is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in suffering.” Once she became aware of this, her life changed, and choose to live each day like it's her last…

Today I AM Alive is a series of podcasts, to inspire others who have been through similar traumas to switch off the victim role and rise like the Phoenix to grow beyond to live a fulfilling and fruitful life. For example: Why Selfishness Isn’t Selfish? How To Find Your True Love Soulmate? Why Your Past Matters? How to Heal for Real Within?  Why Aging is a BONUS, PLUS, and a MUST!?



ABOUT THE HOST

My name is Margaret V Aberdeen, host of “TODAY I AM ALIVE!” A lot people know me for being a unique, enthusiastic, vibrant, invincible, infectious, passionate woman that brings "LIGHT" to people’s lives.

I AM an Infinite Spiritual Being, and my present roles are a Domestic Abuse, Cancer and Near-Death Experience Thriving Survivor, Award Inspirational Speaker, Author of Priceless Roles of a Mother, Poet, Coach and Nature Lover, and I have experienced some dark life-threatening traumas in this world…

Including child abuse and almost being killed by a former partner which instigated the tragic loss of my second son, plus kidney, and brain cancerous tumours, and years of constant seizures, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, and have recently been diagnosed with a hole in my heart, not to mention the struggles of being a single mother whilst dealing with the above.

Strange as it sounds, I see all these traumas as blessings for myself to share and inspire others.

Traumas because they were tough and hard-hitting… there's no doubt about that…

But blessings because Today I AM ALIVE, what I have experienced in life have become my greatest teacher, my pillar of strength for my personal and spiritual growth, and has shown me as you age you gain infinite wisdom and that life is short and precious with multiple choice, and that YOU are in control of how to respond to whatever life throws at YOU!

I’m Proof That You Can Survive Everything. From a breakdown to a breakthrough with a positive mindset, fiercely and fearlessly embracing all my traumas like the Phoenix, I have risen and am striving and thriving triumphantly with courage,choices, and commitment to change to live life within with passion and fiery vigor.
