Thoughts on my Writing

Writing is my passion. While my favorite things to write are fantasy, sci-fi and Steampunk, I enjoy writing EVERYTHING.  Give me a topic, tell me how many words you want and I will write! I totally need and want more paid writing gigs.  But I digress. Over the years I’ve written brochures, blogs, text for websites and many other business-centric pieces.  For a time I even had my own company for this purpose, though its focus was a bit broader.

Taking a Stand for Equal Rights for ALL

It is time to take a stand. Full disclosure: I am a white, straight, non-Christian male.  And I believe that EVERYONE deserves equal rights. I do not care in the least if you are white, black, Hispanic, Asian or what-have-you; it does not matter if you are male or female or gender fluid or no gender at all; it doesn’t matter if you are straight, gay, bi, omnisexual or any other option; it is of no matter to me if

Over the past couple of years I have started to find several four-leafed clovers every summer. Most of my life this was something I had never done.  Now, I find them a few times a year. One important point, however, to consider.  I find them because I take a moment to look for them. How many patches of clover do you encounter along your way?  Do you stop and examine them to see if there are any that are not

Positivity: Love

Love is the ultimate expression of positivity. We live in a world where love often takes a back seat to fear, to ignorance, to terror, to shame, and ultimately to hate.  Yet love is something every single one of us needs, to the same degree as we need air and food and water. Love is often made out to be this grandiose, monstrous thing, often hard to come by, hard to keep, and hard to maintain.  Nothing could be further

I have recently realized that there is tremendous importance in addressing and altering old, outdated, underlying beliefs. Pathwalking addresses the idea of taking control of my own life and my own destiny, and choosing and walking my own unique path.  One of the key things I return to in this process is that consciousness creates reality.  It is possible to manifest an amazing life, if I take the time to think, feel, and take inspired action to make it happen.

Positivity: Living in the Now

Living in the now can be as positive an experience as you make it. Living in the now allows us to only be focused on our immediate needs, our immediate surroundings, and ourselves.  Living in the now lets us ultimately focus on pretty much anything and everything we want to. What’s the difference?  When you live in the past you can really easily get caught up in all the “what ifs”.  What if I had done ‘x’?  What if I

While it is usually best to do things in moderation, sometimes extremes are called for. When your energy is stagnant, and you need to redirect the flow, this can call for an extreme action in order to set everything in motion. For example: I have put on some unwanted weight.  I have been working to take it off, but the process is moving very, very slowly, and I need to give it a jumpstart, I believe. So, in addition to

Positivity: Small Doses of Positivity

Sometimes you have to take Positivity in small doses. We all go through things where we find ourselves feeling displeased, unhappy, frustrated, sad even.  There are lots of times where we would love to uncover and experience some positivity, but DAMN is it hard to come by! What do you do? You have to take into account the little things.  Moments in time that may, when they occur, feel somewhat insignificant, but in truth they can carry a tremendous amount

Just breathe. It is not cliché.  Sometimes the best thing you can do is to just breathe. I have been feeling off for a few days now.  I have gotten a lot of things done, and I haven’t had anything bad happen, I have just not felt quite right.  I have felt off.  My energy has been low, and my spirits too. We all have bad days.  We all have times when we are off, and while we can seek
