Is Life Black and White?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Life is not just black and white. Our lives are not lived in the extremes of either/or.  Life is lived in the greys and colors between the black and white of the extremes. Society wants us to use these extremes because they appear easy to relate to.  Black and white, fat and thin, short and tall, rich and poor, and so forth.  These absolutes feel as if

How Am I a Puzzle Piece?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   We are all a puzzle piece in this world.  We all fit together…but not always one with the other. Every single one of us is connected.  We all come from the same source, the same oversoul, or if you prefer, God/Goddess, Powers-that-be, etc.  As such, we are all one, or at least all part of the greater whole. Each of us is a puzzle piece that makes

Can Logic and Emotion Coexist?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Logic and emotion can coexist, but it is often in a form of détente. Logic and emotion are another term for thought and feeling, two of the necessary ingredients for conscious reality creation.  In order to manifest anything we desire in this life, we need to begin it with thought, empower it with emotion, and then get it moving with intentional action. For many people, though, logic

What is Impatience?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   I know I am not alone when it comes to working through impatience. Patience has never been my strong suit.  I do not like to wait, in particular when it comes to anything I deeply desire. Time may be an illusion, but that doesn’t mean that you can go completely without patience. Impatience comes particularly easily to our society, too.  Our quick-fix, instant-gratification society simply has no

Are You Good to Yourself?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You are the only you that there is.  Be good to yourself. Too many of us get caught up in the world around us, and as such tend to neglect ourselves.  We are concerned for our coworkers, friends, family, and loved ones long before we are concerned for ourselves. The irony of this is that when you are good to yourself, you are more capable of being

Do You Know How Bright You Shine?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Do you deny how bright you shine? As Marianne Williamson posits in her work Our Deepest Fear, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In a later paragraph, she writes, “Your playing small / Does not serve the world.” Her concluding paragraph begins, “And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other

What Do I Bring to The Universe?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures. What do I bring to the Universe?  This is a question I know a lot of people ask.  The answer, however, is simple. You. You are the one and only you that there is, and I am here to tell you that this is a great thing.  Yes, you are amazing, and what you bring to the Universe are your unique, incredible gifts, and the youness that is

How Does Self-Motivation Work?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Self-motivation is a particularly challenging topic. This is something that is problematic for nearly everyone.  However, if you are dealing with depression, and/or anxiety, it can be even more difficult. What IS self-motivation?  It is finding our own inner-resources in order to motivate ourselves to do things.  Sometimes they are big things, sometimes small.  Finding motivation generally begins with the self, though we frequently go out-of-our-way to

How Are You Stronger Than Depression?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You are stronger than depression. Depression is a liar.  Depression will tell you all kinds of things about who you are, and they are all lies.  It tells you that you are unworthy, undeserving, and that all bad things are what you can have. But you are worthy, and deserving, and all good things are what you can have.  Depression is lying to you, and though I
