Family Has Multiple Definitions

Family isn’t necessarily blood and can be a source of tremendous positivity. You were born into a specific family. If you are anything like me, they have some interesting quirks, foibles, and other oddities about them. As you grew up, you may have grown closer…or further apart. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family. For the most part, however, they’d don’t get me. I have taken many paths over the years that have confused and confounded them. My life,

How Are We Stronger Together?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   We are stronger together than we are apart. That’s the reason why so many of those “in power” choose to emphasize and create division. If we are divided, we are a lot easier to overcome. When I am fencing one-on-one against someone my equal, it could go either way. When facing two on one, even if they are not as skilled as I am, it’s going to

What is Perspective?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Perspective is unique to each of us. What you may consider amazing and incredible, I might consider ridiculous and unremarkable. Every single person on the planet has their own viewpoints on absolutely everything. To be sure, we can come together in communities that share ideals and other things. But even there, it’s a matter of perspective. How many wars have been fought over which viewpoint of God

What is Family?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Family is not always that which you are born into. Family can be the chosen people whom you love. These are the people for whom you would move mountains, who you know have your back, and who you confide in because they get you. There is tremendous positivity in recognizing, acknowledging, and being a part of that family. I am not disregarding the families we are born

How Am I a Puzzle Piece?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   We are all a puzzle piece in this world.  We all fit together…but not always one with the other. Every single one of us is connected.  We all come from the same source, the same oversoul, or if you prefer, God/Goddess, Powers-that-be, etc.  As such, we are all one, or at least all part of the greater whole. Each of us is a puzzle piece that makes

You Are Not Invisible

This post contains affiliate links. For more info, see my disclosures here.   You are not invisible.  Nor should you be. I see you.  I see the struggles you are going through.  They treat you as if you do not matter, and they act as if what you have endured is not important. They are wrong.  You do matter, and what you have endured is important.  Yes, you have struggled against incredible odds, and continue to fight to do so. 

How Does Joy Create Positivity?

Pure, unadulterated joy. Don’t you love that feeling?  The freedom, the release, the positivity?  That feeling of comfort and warmth and bliss that makes you smile and remember what it is to be alive? We are so inundated with dread, fear, anger, hatred, division and harsh reality.  Everyone is constantly being subjected to grim news and intolerance and denial of joy.  We are slaves to community, to jobs and finances and responsibilities that rob us of pure joyfulness. I believe

Why is Community Important?

Community is important. Because human beings are social creatures, we seek out like-minded individuals to form communities with.  This is where religious groups, civic organizations, and even nations come into being.  People who share one or more interests/beliefs join together and form a community. We often look at this from a “big picture” sense.  We live in a given community and such.  What I am talking about in this instance is that which we choose to identify with, and what

How to Make Monday YOUR Day

Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness.  There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck?  I am pretty sure the answer is NO.  I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants

Five Quick-and-Easy Positivity Generators

Everyone prefers to feel good over feeling bad. Finding positivity is about finding ways to feel good.  We live in a society that feeds on a steady diet of negativity.  Fear is a tool employed by many differently “leaders” to keep people in line, and sensationalism sells and gets more clicks on social media.  This can make it far easier to live in fear and negativity than to find positivity. Also, it’s Monday…so most of us are going to work
