What is Morality?

This post contains affiliate links. For more info, see my disclosures here.   Morality is a matter that gets skirted around a lot these days. Unless you are living under a rock, and to some degree I kind of envy you if you are, you see the travesty happening in the United States Senate currently.  The hearings for the President’s Supreme Court nominee are a total circus.  Despite multiple accusations of sexual misconduct, there is almost an entire party, comprised

How Can Letting Go Empower Us?

Letting go is frequently challenging.  But doing so opens you up to tremendous amounts of positivity. This can present a huge number of issues, however.  Sometimes letting go is challenging because deep emotions can be connected to the thing you need to release.  No matter how logical you might style yourself as being, nor no matter how hard you try to not hold onto emotions, this can be complicated. Yes, I have written many times that we are all able

Atonement from What?

Today is the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.  It is the holiest day of the year in Judaism.  It is on this day that those who practice Judaism ask God to forgive them for all the sins they may have committed during the year, and once again inscribe them into the Book of Life for the New Year. I was born and raised Jewish, and used to attend services every Yom Kippur, and as is tradition I would fast on

Positivity Can be Found Anywhere

Positivity can be found anywhere. How does the game Cards Against Humanity have anything to do with positivity?  Believe me when I tell you, it can generate massive positivity. If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you are dealt out a number of white cards with various words and phrases, some benign, some…various degrees of raunchy and/or gross and/or nonsensical.  Then, you draw from the black cards, which usually have any range of one to three blank spots you fill in,

Why Do We Compare Ourselves to Others?

There is no need to compare ourselves to anyone else. Each of us is unique.  We have our own gifts, our own talents, our particular, special way.  Yes, we are made up of the same basic molecular structure, and our souls are all interconnected…but we are still separate, unique consciousnesses. Consciousness creates reality in part because what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our singular consciousness.  Our lot is not just to survive, propagate and thrive,

Who Are You Trying to Impress?

There is nobody you need to impress but yourself. I know that this seems like a lie.  But it is one of the greatest truths there is. There are always going to be people who dislike you, or disapprove of you.  When they are acquaintances it’s a very different thing than when they are close friends or family.  Some of the ideas we have, decisions and choices we make, actions we take will not align with other people’s values, beliefs,

What Do You Desire for Today?

What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique.  I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different.  We likely are wearing different clothing.  What we eat will vary.  Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details.  All

Why is it the Same, But Different?

This day is the same, but different from yesterday. Despite their similarities, no two days are exactly alike.  No two people are alike.  Each and every one of us feels things differently.  No matter what the subject, it may feel as if it is the same, but it’s different. It is very easy to fall into routines.  We human beings are enormous fans of things being unchanging, and familiar.  But as I have been writing a lot lately, change is
