They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us. Some take that responsibility to

This is not an act of selfishness. I repeat, THIS IS NOT SELFISH. Self-awareness and self-care are all-too-often taken for granted, or outright ignored. But not caring for ourselves or being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions disempowers our ability to create. When

Black and white, fat and thin, short and tall, rich and poor, and so forth. These absolutes feel as if

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.

Too many of us get caught up in the world around us, and as such tend to neglect ourselves.

However, if you are dealing with depression, and/or anxiety, it can be even more difficult. What IS self-motivation? It is finding our own inner-resources in order to motivate ourselves to do things. Sometimes they are big things, sometimes small. Finding motivation generally begins with the self, though we frequently go out-of-our-way to

Depression will tell you all kinds of things about who you are, and they are all lies. It tells you that you are unworthy, undeserving, and that all bad things are what you can have. But you are worthy, and deserving, and all good things are what you can have. Depression is lying to you, and though I

Did you do that thing you planned to do? The question is a matter of taking a plan – the thought; figuring out how to do it – the feeling; doing it – the action. A lot of us are really good at coming up with ideas and

Knowing how little we know is extremely important. Why? Because there will always be something new to learn. There are new experiences to be had. New people to be met. How many languages do you speak? Do you know how to fence with a sword in each hand?
