What’s a Kinder, More Compassionate Way to Not Give a Sh*t?

The answer to how not to give a sh*t more kindly is the theme for my 2022. For all the work I’ve done over the years to not let the opinions, ideas, and perceptions of others matter that much to me – I still care too much about it. As such, often I am concerned in the back of my subconscious about the impression I make on people. How does what I do impact them? Here’s the problem – I

What Do You Think?

Words matter.  It is not only spoken words, but written words we need to consider.  For some reason, the semi-anonymity of posting online has caused people to be incautious and unkind with what they put out there.  It takes very little for context to get skewed, or for someone to decide to stir a pot and create

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

How do I Truly FEEL Grateful?

It is my desire to express how grateful I am for many, many things.  I am just not feeling it right now. Why am I not feeling grateful?  Because my home country is being taken over by a bunch of ultra-selfish, uncompassionate, self-promoting douchebags-of-holding.  Someone in my life continues to disappoint me all-too-frequently.  I know I am capable of more in this life, and yet I am my own worst enemy. Consciousness creates reality.  I write about this three times

Who Controls My Emotions?

Controlling emotions is particularly challenging. In order to manifest anything, you need to think, feel and act upon it.  Thought is only the beginning.  Without emotion behind it, you will remain where you are now. All this week I have been focused on the same notion.  Positivity examined the power of words, and why want, a statement of lack, should be replaced by desire, a statement of abundance.  In Pathwalking I explored how to go about changing feelings.  Altering my

How Do Desire and Want Differ?

Desire is an expression of abundance. Want is an expression of lack. When it comes to self-talk, it is imperative to be aware of the difference in these. Consciousness creates reality.  If we are focused on “wanting” something, we don’t realize that we are taking a lack approach.  Because words matter, it’s important to be aware of the power of what we say, and even how we say things. This also applies to the words we think and don’t necessarily

How Do Words Matter?

Words matter. The words we say matter.  But what matters more are the words we think.  In especial, those we think frequently, and those we use in reference to ourselves. Most of us are thinking constantly.  Hell, for a lot of us, the very notion of turning off our brains seems totally impossible.  One of the reasons why meditation is so healthy is because when we meditate it’s one of the few times we can stop the chatter. However, since

Why Do Words Matter?

Words matter. What that means is that what you write or say can have an impact, positive or negative.  Do you build or destroy with your words?  Inspire or terrorize?  Spew love or hate?  Give or take? People often forget just how important the words we use are.  Sometimes we fear the power of certain words and phrases, but neglect that there are always options. There are more than 200,000 words in the English dictionary, when you include the obsolete

What Makes For Success?

You name it, I will write it.   Does this let me be a success? I love to work on fiction.  I began writing sci-fi at age nine, and I have been working on my fantasy series, The Source Chronicles, for about twenty years.   There is something about fantastic worlds that I just love to write out.  It’s exciting, and frequently invigorating. Almost six years ago I began regularly blogging.  One weekly post has become three, and the theme of the

How Do I Break the Pattern?

I am the only one who can break the pattern.  But I don’t have all the answers. More often than not what I have is more questions. I believe that this is one of the things, though, that makes life worth living.  New questions, new things to learn, answers to be found for questions asked. I have been asking myself a lot of questions lately.  That’s what I do when I find myself on unfamiliar ground.  Here I am, between
