Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I know that people are waiting for me to complete the editing of Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II. I am still on target to release the sequel to my first fantasy novel in November, so never fear. I am, however, a writer who dabbles in multiple genres. For the most part I stick to the root of sci-fi and fantasy, though I consider The Source Chronicles to be a viable YA (Young Adult) series, and while Steampunk is
Everybody likes to get accolades. Receiving a reward for a job well done certainly generates a lot of positivity. This does not need to be a grand thing, sometimes it takes nothing more than being told “thank you”. Accolades are something that everyone appreciates. Even when we do the things we do because it’s simply what we do, being rewarded in some fashion makes it extra special. As the social creatures that we are, we seek the recognition of our
Do you play the blame game? The trouble with blame is that it assigns responsibility to an outside party for some bad thing, wrong doing or other matter. Often we blame because it is a far easier thing than accountability. Blame assigns fault away, and does nothing to correct matters. This is where blame is utterly pointless – it offers no solutions. Things happen to us and around us that are not our fault. We sometimes find ourselves in a
Equality is a massive expression of Positivity. What could be more positive than equality between people? No matter our differences in skin color, gender, religion, nationality or sexual orientation we all desire equality, and that is a positive thing. We live in a universe of abundance. The problem we encounter is that those in power want to horde as much power to themselves as possible. That just does not work, because they miss that in empowering people they actually further
Faith is not necessarily a dirty word. This is something I have to remind myself of for a number of reasons. Faith has nothing to do with religion. Just like morality, spirituality and religion are all separate tenets, faith can be interlinked with or independent of any of these three ideals. When I know that something is possible, or that something is coming to pass, even when I cannot see or comprehend the how of it, that is where my
You can choose your family. I know that they say you cannot choose your family – but you can. Yes, there is family that you are born into. Yes, your blood family can be complicated, argumentative and unsupportive as much as they can be loving and magnificent. Family is not just those you are related to by blood. Family is not simply brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins and such – family can be more. Family can
What do you want to be when you grow up? We all got asked this question along the way. The answer, unsurprisingly, changed as we got older. The thing of this is – why did that answer change? Sometimes it was based on who we are and what we learn. We often want to be very different things as children than we want to be as adults, or else I suspect we’d have far more lion tamers, acrobats and bulldozer
I started the weekly blog about Positivity because Monday in particular seems to bring out an immense amount of negativity. Perhaps it is the completion of what for most people is the “weekend”, that two days where you are not at work and doing things you want versus things you have to. Perhaps the return to the work week and the pressures of earning a living as opposed to hanging out with friends and family overwhelms our ability to feel
An optimistic outlook is a good thing. Yet nowadays optimism is all-too-often viewed with cynicism and skepticism. We have come to see optimism as this pie-in-the-sky, rose-colored utopian concept, rather than as a tool of positive energies, positivity and manifestation. I have become amazed at how readily I will discuss the notion of positive energy and being in a positive rather than a negative vibe, yet never mention the notion of optimism. It’s almost as if I am afraid that
I write in multiple genres. My first love has always been sci-fi and fantasy, but they are not the only genres I work in. I have written several forms of poetry, journalism, and even started a venture around the idea of business writing. I blog at least twice a week, and look for other opportunities to wordsmith whenever I can. I have on several occasions taken up the challenge of National Novel Writer’s Month. NaNoWriMo occurs every November, and the
