Why are some people mean and even cruel?
Why do some people feel the need to pass their anger on to others?
Don’t they understand how their actions are harming others?
Here is my story:
It was early morning, and we were in the JFK airport in New York getting ready to fly back home to California. The bus had dropped us off at a place in the airport that Nancy was unfamiliar, so she felt a bit disoriented. With that in mind, she walked up to a counter to ask some directions from the woman standing there.
Immediately the woman began asking questions about me and saying I couldn’t board the plane. Nancy said she had contacted the airline directly when making her reservations to make sure everything was cleared, and she had a medical release.
The woman behind the counter then asked for my doctor’s letter stating that because of Nancy’s condition I needed to be with her 24/7. She then went to talk with her supervisor.
Within minutes he rushed to the counter and began yelling and threating Nancy with not being able to board the plane. He said the airline’s policy was to not allow animals in the cabin of the plane. He continued to say that he had the power to make her ticket null and void. After about 15 minutes shouting threats at Nancy, he said the only reason he was going to let us fly back to California was because we had a round trip ticket. Though he continued to try and intimidate Nancy with threats.
Now you need to remember that Nancy has Addison’s Disease. This means her body does not make the hormone necessary to handle stress. So, by the time we walked away from this man Nancy was shaking, unable to speak and was walking in a halted manner. I gave Nancy the sign, and she responded, “I know I just need to get farther away from that man and sit down.”
We walked a bit more and when we stopped Nancy took the necessary medicine to circumvent the crashing of her adrenals and I placed my head in her lap in hopes my love for her would help divert a full Addison’s crisis. I waited for the smell to dissipate. After about 20 minutes the smell had resided, and Nancy was breathing better, the color had returned to her face and some of her coordination had returned. We sat there breathing together until the announcement that our flight was beginning to board.
One of the flight attendants approached us and asked Nancy what service did I provide for her. Nancy told him about her condition and what purpose I served. He in respond said, “I am glad he is flying with you; would you like to board first so the two of you can get settled before all the other people board? Nancy said, “Thank you, that would be helpful.”
After we were settled, Nancy then took out her phone to check the airlines policy and discovered that everything that angry man had said wasn’t true.
So why was he so angry and determined to dump his anger on Nancy?
I don’t know the answer, but I do know that whenever you feel someone is dumping their negativity on you, you have a choice. You can allow yourself to become their victim or you can help yourself by slowing down your breathing and imagining I am giving you a great big hug. Imagine I am wagging my tail and nudging you with my head. Imagine the joy and laughter that arises in you as we connect in this moment even if it is only feel imaginary.
If you would like some help remembering how to step away from negativity and reconnect with yourself,
I suggest you explore the I Create What I Believe (ICWIB) program where my friend Luke will demonstrate the ICWIB activities and/or attend the FREE Drawing in the Now classes that are taught by Nancy Marie over Zoom the first and third Monday of the month from 4:30 pm-5:00 pm PST.

In a recent interview Dr. Bruce Lipton said, “…Freedom is the ability to create without the limitation of generational programming. The I Create What I Believe! (ICWIB!) Program is a gateway and a pathway into a new and better future because it allows children and (adults) to fully express themselves and to not be limited by the beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation. This program also frees up children’s and (adults’) minds and allows their creative nature to create a better world for all of us, which is what we need right now!”
