Where Do We Go From Here?

That’s the question on everyone’s mind. Where are we going and how will we get there? What we are all experiencing as a result of COVID-19 is unprecedented. The shut-down, social distancing, isolation, and self-quarantine on a national scale are awkward. On a global scale, it’s downright frightening. The world has slowed way down. Most people understand the necessity of this and the stay-at-home orders from local leaders (as opposed to the always conflicting disinformation from the top – in

When Does Persistence Pay Off?

Persistence is the best way to choose, follow, and stay on any given path. During and after college I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. There were a few vague ideas, even some thoughts of pursuing my degree program achievements. Use my major and get a job in theatre? That never panned out. My one, very brief gig in semi-professional theatre was a month of annoyance, irritability, and no fun. Use my minor and get

What Do You Really Want?

Not to be redundant, but what you want and what you REALLY want may differ. That’s an important distinction in conscious reality creation. I read a lot of blogs and articles by a lot of different self-help and inspirational writers. I have read or listened to a vast number of books on the topics of self-help, inspiration, self-improvement, conscious reality creation and manifestation, mindfulness, and finding/creating wealth. Along the way, I have developed my own philosophy on this topic and

Why Not Now?

Now is as good a time as any to choose a path for your life. There is a great Chinese proverb that I strive regularly to take to heart. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” I had many different choices for my life to be made 20 years ago. I was not so long out of college and was fresh from my studies of theatre, radio/audio production, and art

Be Your Own Knight in Shining Armor and Save Yourself

You have the power to save yourself from anything and everything. We live in interesting times. The world is currently in the midst of upheaval like nothing any of us have ever seen in our lifetime. It’s not a war, nor a great economic crash – it’s a virus. A microscopic invader that is hard to repel, impossible to see, and difficult to resist. Steps are being taken to keep people as safe as possible. They are, unfortunately, drastic –

How Bad is This Crisis?

That depends on whether you believe the crisis is all negative – or could have positivity to it. As I write this, more-or-less the whole of the United States is practicing social distancing. Non-essential businesses are shut down, sporting events and other public gatherings canceled or postponed, and people staying in and maintaining a general self-quarantine. I don’t think anyone has seen such a thing in their lifetime. It’s like life is utterly on hold, and nobody can say for

What Makes You Leave Your path?

What makes you leave your path? If you are working on living a life you most desire what makes you choose differently? In the Chinese language, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters, one of which represents danger while the other represents opportunity. If that is not a quintessential definition of life in this moment, I don’t know what is. Outside of ourselves, the world may be going mad. There is a LOT of crazy random stuff going on

There is Never a Reason to Panic

As The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy says – Don’t Panic! It feels like the world is going mad, doesn’t it? Let’s face it, there is some pretty scary stuff happening right now. Great Britain and Brexit and the impact of that, the elections in the United States, and of course, you can’t ignore the coronavirus threat (nor pray it away or pretend it’s not a thing.) People are panicking. Fear has been elevated to new and utterly distressing levels.

Choice is an Everyday Activity

Even making no choice at all is still a choice. Every single day that you are here on this planet you are making choices. The vast majority of the things you choose are relatively mindless and mundane. When to get out of bed, what to wear, what to eat, where to go and when, and so on. Simple, frequent, daily choices you make that can, ultimately, impact your day quite a lot. How? Because maybe what you ate made you

You Will Have New Ideas All the Time

You will have new ideas all the time. The question is – what will you do with them? In the eight years since I began to practice mindfulness and conscious reality creation, the practice has been altered. While the premise is largely the same as it’s always been – that you can choose for yourself the life you most desire to live – the how of it has been changed. This is because, in the 8 years that have passed,
