Crossing the Bridges: A Request for Feedback

I would like to take a different approach to my usual blogging, and request from you, dear reader, some feedback. Over the years I have written about striving to find greater positivity in the world, and discovering and walking one’s own path.  This particular posting was created to explore more closely not just the journey, and how one can choose to take it, but more specifically MY journey. Crossing the Bridges is where I share with you my very personal

Carl Jung stated, “What you resist persists.” This was talking about avoiding or denying aspects of the self, but it is still completely applicable to consciousness creating reality, and overly focusing on what you do not want. One of the important aspects of Pathwalking in Practice is awareness.  What am I aware of right now?  Beyond that, and possibly more importantly, what am I thinking about right now? Subconsciously, we may be chewing on something we read, we may be

Crossing the Bridges: The Concept of being a Brand

One of the reasons why this blog is titled “Crossing the Bridges” is because of the vastly different styles of writing I work with. I can, however, break down pretty much all of my work into three distinct styles/genres. These posts, as well as Pathwalking and Positivity, fall under what I refer to as self-help philosophy.  My fantasy series, my Steampunk series and all my other imaginative works fall under fiction.   Beyond that, there is the business related writing and

This week I continue to work with Pathwalking in Practice. Last week I broke down the three means I believe everyone lives their life by:  letting life live you, curling up in a ball and waiting to die or living the life you want.  Pathwalking is a means to the end of living the life I want to live the most, and has evolved into a self-help philosophy I believe I can do more with, for myself and for others.

Crossing the Bridges: One Small Step

To cross any given bridge, you need to start by taking a step, literally and metaphorically. One of the reasons I began this particular blog post was to help me get my head screwed on straight, while I assess both where I am and where I want to be.  Positivity is a specific topic, and far more general, and while Pathwalking is my life philosophy, it is also a more specific focal point. What neither address is the more personal

With the start of this new year, I want to begin working on a new aspect of Pathwalking. Tentatively, this will be called Pathwalking in Practice. Pathwalking in Practice is setting up actionable items in order to better work on conscious reality creation. What is an actionable item?  The things you do to actually walk the path you are choosing. Everything we choose begins at the same point.  There is a thought, an idea, an inspiration.  Something you read opens

Crossing the Bridges: The New Year

The New Year is frequently used as an opportunity to get a new start to things. Many people make resolutions, which amount to often grand plans for sweeping changes.  Years ago, I decided that while resolutions are all well and good, they are soft, non-committal, and easily disregarded.  This is why I started instead of creating New Year’s Resolutions, to take New Year’s Actions. I began to blog regularly five years ago, as a result of my 2012 New Year’s

This has been an interesting year. In some respects this goes with the Chinese curse of “May you live in interesting times”.  In some respects it has simply been full of odd and unusual, fascinating things.  In some respects it has just been interesting as opposed to uninteresting…and in some ways it’s very much Joss Whedon’s definition from Serenity: Mal: “Define interesting?” Wash: “Oh god oh god we’re all going to die?” Much of the latter is due to the

Crossing the Bridges: Optimism for the Future

I’m not feeling it today. I have attempted more than once to start this post, and every single start has stumbled.  I get maybe an intro paragraph, and then can’t go forward. Why am I not feeling it today? Because I have gotten too caught up in outside influences.  Because the madness of the world around me is interfering with my own thoughts and feelings, and I can neither shut it out nor replace it with something more useful, something

Pathwalking 260

This is where it all began, five years ago: How can I make a difference? This question comes up for me fairly often. I want to help other people see the world in the way that I see it. NOT in a ‘my way is the one true way’ idea at all. On the contrary – I want people to disagree with me. I want them to consider these words, and reject them if they disagree. I want them to
