Previously I wrote about the topic of knowing.  As I opined there, the key to knowing is to recognize that for the most part, we know far less than we think. So if that is the case, is it even possible to know too much?  And if so,

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Spreading positivity is not that hard. For some people, this is the best time of the year…while for others, it is the worst.  Gatherings with families, friends and loved ones can be fantastic or fatalistic, warm and pleasant or icy and disturbing, and can pick us up or knock us down. Whether positive or negative, emotions tend to run high this time of year.  It is for

I discuss gratitude here a great deal, because of its necessity in conscious reality creation.  Moreover, I frequently explain that thought, and words of the thought, are not enough.  Feeling is an essential element in this manifestation process. It is really easy to say thank you.  Two words, pretty straightforward.  But the in-depth expression of gratitude, to be thankful

Can Creativity Improve the World?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Creativity is an amazing power we each possess. Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; evolve; to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible.  While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has shown the skills and creativity we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of

How Do Want and Desire Differ?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   There is a surprisingly substantial difference between want and desire. Want is based in lack.  One of its definitions, from dictionary.com is to be without, or deficient in.  Want comes from a place of lack and scarcity.  It is a statement that implies that there is not enough, that you have gone without because that which you want there is not enough of. Further, that implies that

How Do We Not Lose Hope?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Don’t lose hope.  I know that the world looks bleak right now, but we can still change it. Yes, there is some pretty awful stuff happening in the world around us.  Terrible people are doing terrible things; threatening to take away rights; disempowering and disenfranchising all for their own interests; shredding the very fabric of our society.  It feels terrible, it is scary and unpleasant and infuriating,

You Are Not Invisible

This post contains affiliate links. For more info, see my disclosures here.   You are not invisible.  Nor should you be. I see you.  I see the struggles you are going through.  They treat you as if you do not matter, and they act as if what you have endured is not important. They are wrong.  You do matter, and what you have endured is important.  Yes, you have struggled against incredible odds, and continue to fight to do so. 

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
