Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, Nontoxic Positivity, and More
Responsibility is not a dirty word. We often look at responsibilities we have with dread. Let’s face it, there are many things that are a must which most of us would prefer not to do. Trips to the DMV, visiting the doctor or dentist, standing in line at movies or concerts, sitting in traffic because we have to get to wherever it is we are going. Responsibility seems to frequently be lumped into negative things. We see this as a
Adulting does not need to be arduous. There are some major advantages to being an adult. You can come and go as you please, you get to choose your own bed time, you can hang out with any friends at any time in any place and there is nobody but you to tell you no. Yes, I know that with adulthood comes certain responsibilities. We have to work jobs to buy food and clothing and housing and to pay for
What is normal? I have been asking this question for most of my life. I haven’t the foggiest idea of what it is to be normal. Society is constantly talking about the “norms”, the things that are acceptable for people to do and be, and we judge people based upon where in this artifice they fit. Everyone has a different definition of what is normal. These definitions get applied to different things in our lives based on our jobs, our
How do you want your day to be? What are your intentions? The power of intent is something we take for granted. We fail to see that we have the ability to manifest not just once in a while, not just on a special occasion or due to a dire need, but all day, every day. One of the key elements of manifestation is intention. Intent is not the starting point so much as it is the direction. What begins

A year ago I decided that I had waited long enough; it was time to publish my fantasy series. Seeker – The Source Chronicles Book I was begun in 1998. After several reworks and a professional editor, I tried to find representation for many many years. Welcome to the 21st century. I determined it was time to self-publish. Thus I created Argent Hedgehog Press, and I formatted the book and Seeker was released into the wild. The Source Chronicles began

Catharsis is important to being able to walk a chosen path. It never ceases to amaze me how easily emotional baggage accumulates. No matter how much we think we are purging as we go, we still manage to hold on to outdated materials. What’s more, often you don’t even realize you are still holding onto things that you are, and they are still effecting current actions.

The beauty of nature is particularly poignant in autumn. Living in the Northeastern US, I get to see a dramatic changing of the season. The leaves turn the most amazing shades of gold and red and orange, and the foliage is impressive during this time of the year. Unfortunately, for many, this marks the beginning of a less pleasant season. Fall leads to winter, and winter for a lot of us does not lend itself to feeling happy. The cold,
