(How to Splendo to Become Splendid by Allison L. Williams Hill was originally pub. On Inner Eden 5/2012)
“Prophecy” from the “Gifts from Spirit” series
Splendid is defined as “brilliant with light or color, radiant; magnificent, glorious; illustrious,” from the Latin meaning “to shine.” The second syllable of splendid is the past tense of having done; to bring about, executed.
Now, do, as in “to-“fulfill, complete.” Similarly, the definitions for “did” also apply to “do.” What differentiates them is time; we “do” to get to “did.”
The word “splendid” was the charm. I was lying in bed around 3AM when the idea presented itself. A new word – splendo – meaning “to make brilliant with light or color; to make magnificent; to make shine.”
You physically make things, and your body, shine by polishing, over and over, until it reflects light. Silver; brass; gold; pots and pans, and even shoes look better, cleaner. You scrub your body with a loofah; synthetic scrubber, and exfoliates. You use toothpaste and shampoos. When you do any of those things, you validate the positive. Those acts cleanse, brighten, and preserve. You are, essentially, demonstrating gratitude. You appreciate what you have.
We get to splendid by splendoing; we do to become. Begin by being grateful for existing. There are few lives that have storybook experiences. It may help to read biographies, of famous and not-so-famous people. They are born into obligations and responsibilities; age; divorce; become ill; have relatives who become ill; or succeed, or fail like other people. Learn about their paths and trials and how they used their abilities to grow. Similar experiences may provide useful insight.
Express gratitude. “I AM” is an enormously powerful statement, a declaration of being “here.” Mentally say, “I desire (Fill in the blank. All of the universes are the limit!!) in my life.” Intend for the outcome that you cast free in the ether. Some of you may not know how to intend. You intend by supporting it, by meaning it. Pinky swear! It is said that when this is done, the intention that is, is going to happen and you should let it go.
On the other hand, our minds tend to clinch its mental teeth on that which we want and do not have. A positive way to empower the intention is to add parts to its whole by deepening the entire outcome. Get clear on the car, type, color, equipment, etc. that you want, and even things that have not even been invented yet. Strengthen this by how you will use the car. The car can bring you to a national park where you can fall in love with nature again. The car can bring you to the soup kitchen connected with the shelter you created that houses several families and people in transition.
Think about how useful a person you already are. Clarify your subject of study and associated subjects that will strengthen it and what happens beyond that such as whether you are employed or employing one thousand qualified people! Go beyond that and visualize and prepare for the tens of thousands your work will positively affect. Think about how that will happen. Think about how that will make you feel. Think about how you will shine your light into the world.

A holistic health practitioner (or health counselor) is a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we’ll work to achieve your goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, food cravings, sleep, and energy. Through working with me, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance, and health.
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that we look at how all areas of your life are connected and affected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I lead workshops on nutrition and offer individual and group health and nutrition counseling on weight management, emotional eating, and self-image issues to professional women, caregivers, and healers.
