The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

Positivity: Refocus

Do you plan to have a good day, or a bad day? Do you wake up looking forward to all the possibility the day represents, or in dread of what is to come? This is where is it vitally important you know what you are focused on. If you intend to have a good day and explore new possibilities and expect good things, that goes a lot further towards making that your reality than if you expect a bad day

Positivity: New Year's Actions

New Year, new opportunities for Positivity. Many people take the change in calendar to try and make changes in their lives. As the year turns, it can feel like an opportunity is at hand to restart, refresh and renew our existence in some way or other. This has, for many, taken the form of New Year’s Resolutions. They make a promise to make a change, usually either to eat better or lose weight or go to the gym or something

Positivity: Like Attracts Like

Like attracts like. This is the reason why revenge never works in the quest for justice. An act of retribution will gain you nothing but further retribution. We are inundated by a constant barrage of negativity, and that is where we wind up putting our focus. We end up in a state of negative thinking, and as such like attracts like and we continue to draw in more things to feel badly about. Knowing this, it is important to make

Positivity: Thank You

Thank you. These two words are amongst the most powerful words in all of the English language. The power of thank you to make a person feel good, to convey gratitude is nearly immeasurable. Yet these two words are not employed with near enough frequency. Society has become so hyper-focused on big bad things around the globe that feeling thankful is challenging at best. Yet it is important to not lose sight of the little things we have, and remember

Positivity: Change

Everything changes. This is momentously positive, because given that everything changes, even the worst of circumstances can be improved and positivity can be generated. Some change is gradual, some is swift. Some is wanted, some is unwanted. Some change is within our control and some is not. Change is inevitable, it is undeniable, and it is a matter of neutrality that is only positive or negative depending on your own perspective. Does the world seem really terrible at the moment?

#YesAllWomen

Consider, gentlemen, why you should not be offended. If, like me, you are a white male, you have a certain amount of privilege you likely do not even recognize, and totally take for granted. Sure, you may have something about you that garners ridicule, scorn and maybe teasing – but that is nothing compared to what most women face directly or indirectly regularly. Of course this is a generalization, but it is a VERY important generalization. Men are rarely subject

The return of the ERA

What happened to the ERA? The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced to Congress in December of 1923, and every subsequent session of congress through 1970.  After almost five decades of being constantly buried in committee, the ERA finally got put to a vote by the full House of Representatives in 1971, where it passed, and then the Senate in 1972. The passing of this historic amendment by Congress, however, was insufficient for the constitution to be changed.  It needed

Taking a stand

No offense, ladies, but this is a letter specifically to the rest of the members of my gender (but feel free to read on). Gentlemen, We need to take a stand.  It is time to stop letting a minority make the rest of us look like fools and idiots.  It is time to be heard. I am writing about these men who are working so hard to limit the rights of women.  I am talking about these crazy politicians and
