"Humor is to life what knee pads are to roller blading. It doesn't mean you won't fall down, but it does allow you to be more resilient." Mary Andrews

The Poopinator's Motto: FLUSH, FLOW 'n GLOW
FLUSH out the crap (whatever doesn't serve you, or whatever doesn't feel right for you), FLOW with who you really are (authenticity), and then you can't help but GLOW with your natural light and unique brilliance!
To truly live out the magnificence of who we each uniquely are, we first have to acknowledge, then FLUSH out (physically AND energetically) what's not working for us. This makes room for us to step into our purpose and to be able to receive all the love, prosperity, fun and joy your heart desires!

What is "The Poopinator Zone?" -The Poopinator Zone is a place where you are free to be yourself and love yourself, "flaws" and all. It is a place of authenticity, caring and honesty where you are free to be fully self-expressed, no matter the good opinions of other people. It is a place you can create right now where you acknowledge and love ALL the parts of yourself.
The Poopinator Zone is a place you can choose to inhabit any time you like, where you joyfully focus on your true priorities and true heart's desires.
The Poopinator Zone is an empowering place of unconditional love (to self and others) and authenticity. It is a state of being.

In Mary's words: How I feel about "The Poopinator" show
When I read this quote from Abraham, my heart smiled wide becuase it so beautifully describes how I feel about "The Poopinator." ~
"You must adore it yourself and you must believe completely in the value of it and the benefit to others. And when you are there, then those that are looking for the benefit that it offers will flock to it and you'll be right there to welcome them."
"The Poopinator" feels so wonderful to me because it was the first time I allowed pure, authentic creative expression without any attachment to outcomes, where I didn't let other people's opinions cause me to compromise, and I just allowed my creative spirit to flow. I feel "in love" with "The Poopinator!" I'm in awe that it maniested into form, and I am humbled and honored to be it's physical vehicle.
How The Poopinator® was born......
I don't believe it was an accident that I got cancer of the "gut." After consistently ignoring my intuition, it finally got my attention. It was time to stop listening to the well-intentioned advice from other people, and to start paying attention to my own inner wisdom (something everyone has!)
During the "cancer time" I kept a journal to help me deal with all the emotions and events that were occurring. One day I wrote down that I should do a "cancer comedy" about my experience. That it would help not only my own healing, but that it would help somehow help others as well. Oh, yeah, and I should call it (after hearing my nephew say it) ~
"THE POOPINATOR!"
I IGNORED it the first time. After all, I had NO - NADA - NOTHING - NO experience in writing, performing, acting, drama, comedy or public speaking. After an embarrassing experience in childhood I vowed to never bring attention to myself. Now I'm supposed to go on stage in front of people and call myself the "Poopinator?" I don't think so!
But when this idea wouldn't leave me alone and still was showing up in all kinds of ways for me after a year, I decided that it wasn't going to nag at me until I did it!
"Come on, God, I know I asked to have fun listening to my intuition, I know I said I was ready to be authentic, but THIS? This is just a little extreme don't you think? I envisioned a more gradual, gentle, private....NORMAL process, you know what I mean?!"
But the Universe was offering me a gift in the form of an opportunity to deal with a bunch of issues all at once - authenticity, fear of what other people think, humor, my definition of perfection and imperfection, forgiveness, appreciation, joy and love.
I accepted this bizarre and scary but exciting opportunity and soon after, I was up on stage nervously performing colon cancer comedy, calling myself The Poopinator and having a BLAST! I made a lot of "mistakes" at first, but somehow it was "perfect."
It took a colon cancer diagnosis for me to give myself permission to NAVIGATE MY JOY, but you don't need to wait for that dramatic of a wake up call to begin living our your joy!
The experience with cancer gave me the opportunity to acknowldge and love ALL of myself, to listen to the voice of true inspiration (no matter what anyone else's opinion was), to play, to express myself creatively, to understand that there's perfection in the imperfection, to release the fear of what other people think of me, to trust my intuition, to heal from the inside out, to experience the power of appreciation, and to allow my authentic self to shine through.
The "cancer time" was one of those "worst and best" times of my life. Although most definitely challenging, frightening, and painful at times, the gifts and blessings that came from it are things I am truly grateful for. I learned how to have fun and how to navigate life by using joy as my inner compass. May YOU live your life by navigating whatever brings YOU joy! Much love.........
