Have you lost your way – or – has the way lost you?

How can you recognize the state of your way and what can you do about it? There is no avoiding present circumstances. The world is in the midst of turmoil and change like nobody has ever encountered before. Between COVID-19, ludicrous politics, greed on levels never before imagined, and countless other negatives I could point out here – everything is uncertain. Not just a few things. EVERYTHING. Currently, life IS uncertainty. With a few exceptions, people are finding themselves coping

You Can Learn a Lot by Watching and Listening

Sometimes it’s in your best interest not to speak, but just to observe. There is a particular topic I have been working with for many years now. I’ve had a great deal of time, practice, and experience, and I think I have developed some knowledge along the way. I know I am not the only one with knowledge and experience on this topic. However, because of the length of time I have been working with this, my age, and some

What is Attachment Versus Connection?

Understanding the pitfalls of attachment is a challenge – but will help you better relate to change. The first step is to understand what attachment is. According to Dictionary.com, attachment is: noun an act of attaching or the state of being attached. a feeling that binds one to a person, thing, cause, ideal, or the like; devotion; regard: a fond attachment to his cousin; a profound attachment to the cause of peace. Psychology. an emotional bond between an infant or toddler and primary

Merging Two Paths

I am currently on two paths. They share several things in common – but are still not the same. I have a habit of being more than one thing at a time. Some of this has been a response to attempting to do two things at once. On some occasions, this has been about me working a “normal” job while pursuing a passion at the same time. Over the past year, now, I have been working on a singular vision.

Practicing Mindfulness – Thoughts, Feelings, and How They Impact your Paths in Life

Breaking down the roots of mindfulness for conscious reality creation for more clarity. What is mindfulness? It is the awareness of your thoughts and feelings. You gain recognition in the present of what you are thinking, as well as what and how you are feeling. (The intent of actions is a part of mindfulness as well, but I’ll get to that later). Mindfulness doesn’t just cover your thoughts and feelings alone. It also goes deeper. Mindfulness delves into your psyche,

You Can’t Change the World at Large

But you can change your corner of the world for the better. Spend any time online and you will probably become sad, angry, frustrated, or otherwise pulled in a negative direction. Between COVID-19, politics, fretting about the global economy, and all the rest of the current news, things are more uncertain than any previous experience in most of our lifetimes. This may be a bitter pill to swallow – but there is nothing you can do to change the big

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
