What are You Standing Up For?

Standing up for what is right is not always the easiest choice.  But it is still a good choice. In the medieval reenactment game I have been playing for almost 27 years now, there is currently a leader, a “King”, who has been openly racist, and continually taking inappropriate actions regularly.  In a society where most of the people I know are open, welcoming, and otherwise decent to one another, this is a terrible disappointment. A friend of mine took

Nobody Is Alone

Nobody is alone. Everyone goes through rough times.  We all hit patches of discomfort, anger, sadness, loneliness.  But it is important you see that you are not, truly, alone. Life can be a real struggle.  For some people, that struggle takes on a lot of elements that most people cannot see.  Mental illness is seldom, if ever, a thing you can simply “get over.”  It requires attention, it requires thought, and though it will feel like a lone struggle, the

How Do We Defeat Depression?

Depression is a liar. When you suffer from depression, you often deal with a ton of conflicting feelings and emotions that seem completely illogical, and can leave you feeling worthless, lost, and even unloved. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  If you cope with depression, this may seem untrue, but it is important for me to tell you that.  Even when it is at its worst, making you feel just awful, you are not alone. I have struggled with depression for most

How Does a Pathwalker Be a Giver?

Givers get as much as they give. A lot of people do not recognize this for how powerful it is.  But the power of giving, when it comes from a place of abundance, actually creates more to be given. Pathwalking is about finding the path for ourselves.  Taking control over our own individual destiny, making use of conscious reality creation to manifest the life we desire to live. One of the key reasons behind Pathwalking, at least for me, is

How Powerful Can Thank You Be?

Thank You are two of the most powerful words available to us.  Thank you is one of the most powerful phrases we can employ. We frequently neglect just how powerful the words we use are.  Words matter.  What we say has an enormous impact on the world around us. When we recognize how powerful our words are, we develop the power to make more of the world around us.  We can choose to alter our feelings, perspective, and world view

Why Might You Set Aside Your Path?

Once in a very great while, your path will need to be set aside for that of another. I know that I am constantly writing about how, to consciously create reality, we have to choose for ourselves.  This is always true.  But every now and then our own path is not as important as the path of another. How does that work?  We all have people in our lives who are important to us.  They are loved ones, close friends,

How Can I Best Support You?

I offer you my support. I am fortunate to never have been sexually harassed or assaulted.  But I know a tremendous number of people who have been.  I believe you, and offer you my support. We are all in this world together.  Every single one of us wants to live the best possible life we can.  And yet, there are people who do not think about how their actions effect others.  Some of it is simple thoughtlessness, some a matter

How does Pathwalking Help Other People?

You cannot help the world if you don’t help yourself. Pathwalking is about seeking out your own destiny.  Walking your own path in life.  Pathwalking is about living life to the fullest, striving for the best experiences. It can be very hard not to feel that this idea is selfish.  It is even more difficult when you see the state of the world today.  The constant deluge of information, specifically negativity, greed, and selfishness, can be disconcerting. I try not

How to Make Monday YOUR Day

Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness.  There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck?  I am pretty sure the answer is NO.  I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants

How does the use of I AM matter in Crossing the Bridges?

There are actions I can take, right now, to change my life. The challenge with this is in mindfulness.  While the action I am looking to take is relatively simple, it requires a great deal of mindfulness. I have written before about the power of the words I AM.  These two little words will ultimately define me, in the here and now, in absolute and specific ways.  I AM is far more powerful than the retrospective I WAS or the
