Everyone Has an It: A Guide to Help You Accept, Accentuate, and Appreciate Yours

By Vicki Baird

Working with amazing people for the past thirteen years led me to recognize what seemed to be consistent themes in peoples lives. With each consultation it became clearer that each person wasnt aware of his or her own special wiring. All of them were more tied into what wasnt working rather than what was and more willing to acknowledge their seemingly shortcomings rather than their skills. While I could acknowledge what was amazing in them, they werent quite there yet. What grew from this experience was knowledge that I could offer a to-go package that would help while on their journey, perhaps holding the energy of their greatness until they were ready to see it. This is that to-go packagea combination of humor, practical advice, and respect for energy that can guide anyone to self-acceptance, empowerment, and the manifestation of the absolute joy life can offer. Learn how to combine all of these elements and live the life you want and know you are meant to have.

Vicki’s Thank you!

I am extremely blessed in my life to have a wonderful family, friends and the best clients in the world, dare I say universe! It is due to all of them that this book even came to be. While I was aware I would write a few in my lifetime, it wasn’t a pressing matter for me and in all honesty, probably still wouldn’t be if it weren’t for this great group that surrounds me.

From my husband whom I feel believes I can do anything, we have determined cooking does not count, to my kids and grandkids who are patient with the lack of hours in the day, to the special group of ladies who help me keep my sanity, my soul sisters, both geographically near and far. There is also the group of friends that helped with this subject matter coming to light for me, my WOW group, Women of Wednesday, who gasped when I said Everyone Has an It, giving me the indication we were on to something. Then the customers who come into the store wanting to know where the book is….before I announced I was writing one, I truly am grateful.

This has been a compilation of all the sessions, intuitive and coaching as well as life experience and I am extremely grateful to whoever ends up with this book in their hands. Whether it is as a gift or you purchased it for yourself, hopefully as a gift; I thank you.

Blessings,

Vicki

What is an IT?

Everyone has an It. What it is isn’t necessarily known, but we all have one. What is your it? Do you even know if you have one? If you did, would you want to name it, claim it or blame it? Where could you take your it? Would you want to display it? Would you want others to even know you have one?

Well that would depend on where you are in accepting of self and all the wonderful things that goes with finding out who you are and how many its you have. You see, ITs don’t discriminate. They are like belly buttons, everyone has had one at one time and probably didn’t pay too much attention to it...until they realized someone else had one and wondered is mine the same? Is mine missing something? Is mine defective? What would THEY say about mine?

As random as it may sound it resonated didn’t it? You started thinking about what was yours like and does it compare. Silly really when it is our individuality that makes this universe go around and around. Diversity being one of the most exciting things we have going for us as souls.

The intention of this book is to help you not only identify what it is you have but to become so comfortable in having an IT that you relish in finding more. Each time you realize you have something that is calling to you, you get excited because that is one more layer of truth and individuality you can uncover. How exciting would it be to be able to look at your IT’s and celebrate them or at least refrain from groaning in their presence.

So, what exactly is an IT? An IT is individual as well as a group of the wonderful characteristics, thought patterns, belief systems and behaviors that have been cultivated during your journey. It can be a great thing, like Inner Truth, or it can be a great thing like an Inner Trickster. Ahhh, you thought I was going to say a bad thing didn’t you? Nope, just because something comes up that isn’t in the most favorable light does it mean it is a bad thing. This is what I would like to help you shift your belief and patterns around. There isn’t anything bad or negative about you or who you are. While there may be some stuff that could benefit from tweaking a bit, it isn’t bad.

All of us got to be who we are through the various experiences in our lives and when we accept that and realize we can only move from today, the load gets a bit lighter and the journey gets to be more fun. When one considers that although we all have different packaging, there is a lot in common underneath, there is often a similarity in our behaviors and our actions. I am not a mental health professional but I have seen my share of individuals in an advising capacity and one thing I have come to notice is just how a like we really are. Individuality is a wonderful thing and I know how special each person’s soul is and honor that uniqueness. It has been my observation though, that while searching for that special sense of self, that we tend to mimic patterns and behaviors and downright quirky trends. One only has to look to the news programs or tabloids to realize how much we all want to be alike while striving for our own sense of self.

It is in this observation that I asked myself, what is IT that makes us all have it, want it, create it and live it? Why is it that we don’t always want to admit we have one too?

In this compilation of stories and experiences and techniques, I hope to help you become comfortable with your It and perhaps even be able to embrace whatever it is you are working on enhancing, creating, releasing, challenging, and believing.

This work was created to be taken in bite size pieces. You can read it all the way through and then go back or you can take it one chapter at a time. You could even skip around if you would like. Each chapter is designed to open with an idea, discover who you are through the process and then close with an affirmation that you are wonderful in whatever you were able to offer that day, week, month or longer if you wish. See, it is all about choice. I thank you for choosing to read this book and I appreciate you being a part of my journey.

Finding It

Your Current IT

Identifying what one is currently working on can take a lot of stress out of life. We often push against
