What Do You Do When You Feel Like You Can’t Win?

When you feel like you can’t win you always have options. The past couple of weeks have not been good. I got COVID. Even though I took lots of precautions and was as vaccinated and boosted as possible – I still got sick. However – it was no worse than a cold, and there seem to be no lingering effects. Vaccines work – thank you, science. Right on top of that, my mother-in-law had to be hospitalized. Without oversharing, she’s

What Do You Do When Your Path Isn’t What You Think It Is?

It’s your path – you can choose to reclaim it when you lose it. It doesn’t matter what paths you choose in life. I don’t think they ever go as intended. Why? Because life is full of uncertainty, situations, and circumstances way outside of your control. For example, I knew the plans we had around Christmas for months now. I was all set to carry them out. Everything was in place and set to go as of the Wednesday before

How Might We Use the New Year for New Positivity?

The new year is an excellent time to start fresh – if you so choose. It’s hard to believe that 2021 is coming to a close. Seriously – how are we less than a week from the start of 2022 already? The past 2 years have been utterly unusual for everyone. The global pandemic forever changed the world in ways we still haven’t fully realized. We have seen utter extremes between the best in some people and the worst in

New Years’ Action 2020

Action and actions are more powerful than resolutions. My very favorite line from the entirety of Star Wars comes from Yoda. “Do or do not, there is no try.” For a long time, I didn’t fully comprehend what he meant by that. However, after a lot of years of sitting with and studying this statement, I get it. A try leaves room for failure and incompletion. Doing leaves no such space. This is not about the physical act so much

New Year, New Choices

The New Year brings new choices The end of the year is here. What do you desire for 2020? For far too many people I know, 2019 was an awful year. Whether it was deeply personal matters, health issues, family problems, or the impact of the numerous awful actions on the part of the government, this year was rough. We are about to hit 2020, a year that brings us to the beginning of a new decade. Also, you’re going

Age, Like Time, is Relative

Age is only a number and as such has whatever meaning you assign to it Today is my birthday. I love birthdays. They are personal holidays, and I have always been a fan of celebrating them. This is your unique, singular Happy New Year. Birthdays can be an incredible source of positivity. Some people see them this way. I know I do. But some people see birthdays as an increasing reminder of their pending mortality. Every year marks another year

How Do We Make 2019 Amazing?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   This New Year has the potential to be amazing.  All we have to do is to make it so. It starts with ourselves. This is not an act of selfishness.  I repeat, THIS IS NOT SELFISH.  Self-awareness and self-care are all-too-often taken for granted, or outright ignored.  But not caring for ourselves or being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions disempowers our ability to create.  When

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

Why Start Pathwalking?

Why did I start Pathwalking six years ago? When I decided that I needed to blog weekly, I came up with this idea.  Pathwalking is the living, breathing process of using consciousness to create reality in order to manifest the life I most desire. Consciousness creates reality.  How do I know this?  Because I have done it.  I know that when we are aware and totally present in the here-and-now, we can build our existence however we most desire for

How Does Renewal Effect Positivity?

Renewal is frequently the theme for people at the start of the new year. While change is constant and inevitable, we frequently resist it.  One exception for this, however, is New Years’ Eve. Many people formulate a New Years’ Resolution.   They resolve to change something in their life.  Frequently, this is diet or exercise related.  They look to a change they want to make, and attach it to the fresh year. Resolutions are not much of a commitment.  It’s thought
