My names come from a place I can not even find or phathom.

Sandworm was the one that came to me in the
moment i was signing up.

what? Well, Dune, the movie and book. remember the scene
where Paul had his hand in the box and was being tortured.
When he pulled it out he realized it was all illusion. Nothing to
be so upset about.

This is much like Metamood.. spotting when you are getting upset about
sumthing and putting into perspective of what it is.; not a big deal , or
maybe even an illusion.

Then there is the scene where the man of Dune spits toward the
Duke.
Rather than being angry, like the Duke's attendent, the duke sees
that it is an act of honor and respect.

This is seeing beyond our own limits and viewing things from others eyes,
cultures and feelings.

To me, this is what has helped me to move from all the fear, panic, anxiety
and isolation, and into more health..... tho i have much much further to go.

Sandi / from Alexander from the Greek meaning Light shining on man to
save. also seemed a very happy accident (as well) of my choice of name.

Choosing a name, a new nick can be very powerful to bring a person
a greater sense of health and wellbeing.

think of doing that, picking something positive... like I did.

there are so many tools I hope to share with you in chat about
mental health and healing and this is just one.
Hugs all.

Does your name have meaning which helps you heal, or come to awareness
of your struggle and pain or just realize who you are?

thanks
Sandi

Also, i just saw "Beetle Juice" with Michael Keaton.

remember the sandworms outside the house.?
