Positivity: Amongst Friends

There is nothing quite like time amongst friends. I got to spend a long weekend with some amazing friends.  There was tons of great conversation, inside jokes, laughter, and camaraderie.  I got to spend quality time with my chosen family, got to build better friendships with others, and even made several new friends along the way. There is nothing quite like friendship to generate positive energy.  I am always pleasantly surprised by how swiftly hanging out with friends makes me

Pathwalking 124

Sometimes you find you are traveling upon more than one path. I have stated multiple times that there are many paths to choose.  There is always an option, or a number of options before you in any given situation. While it is certainly easier if you can choose just one single path, often it is difficult to do so. What’s more, given our nature and diversity of personality, it is also difficult for any single path you have chosen to

Positivity: Well Done!

Well done! Two powerful words that can change a negative into a positive.  These two words can provide the compliment that tells you what you are doing or have done is appreciated, and that you have worth and value. Everybody wants to feel good about themselves.  As much as our emotions are wholly our own, and we ultimately decide how to feel, no matter the outside influence…we still crave the satisfaction, the validation for whatever thing it is we are

Pathwalking 123

Pathwalking can be as simple as 1-2-3. However, we have an amazing capacity for over-complicating our lives.  Every day need not be a struggle. Many of the things we find challenging are only a difficulty because we MAKE them difficult. We are all hard wired with this need to have a system of beliefs.  There are things we know, things we are absolutely certain of, and while some of these things are in fact solid and unchangeable, more than most

Positivity: No Limits

You are capable of anything. You have the ability to make your own life.  You are empowered with a strength that separates us from the rest of the animals walking this earth.  You can choose who to be, where to live, what sort of job to work, the people you associate with.  Beyond the physical, you can choose to be happy or sad or strong or weak. You have no limitations but those you set upon yourself.  We are amazing

Pathwalking 122

There are signs and omens all around us, and we often miss them. Yes, I am about to get hooky-spooky on you, but please stay with me.  Once more I am going to explore an incredible paradox of our existence. Last week I wrote about the importance of critical thought.  I explored why we all need to not just act, but really give time and energy to analysis and critical thinking, before we form opinions and make various decisions. However,

Positivity: Moonlight

If sunlight provides fuel by day, moonlight provides fuel by night. The moon had been personified in song and story in so very many ways.  Sometimes called He, sometimes called She, the moon is more to us than simply an immense rock orbiting the Earth and effecting our tides.  The moon is a quintessential part of the lore of almost every culture in the world. The moon has its many phases, showing us different shapes and faces.  Crescent, half, full

Positivity: Sunlight

I don’t know about you, but I am solar powered. I love the sun.  I love the touch of sunlight on my face, and I love it’s warmth upon my skin.  There is something very refreshing, calming, and enlightening about sunlight. Many a day has been improved when I have stepped into the sunlight.  The brightness of course in certain circumstances can be a bit overwhelming, but for the most part it is an incredible feeling, and it can generate

Pathwalking 120

Recently I read The Fifth Agreement by Don Miguel Ruiz and his son Don Jose Ruiz.  This is the follow up to the wildly popular book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. These two books present the idea that we come into this life open, but along the way we make “agreements” with how to live.  We relinquish control to outside influences, and we allow our belief system to be massively complicated and colored by the world we live

Positivity: Fantasy

Sometimes the mind needs an escape. Fantasy is a wonderful means to that end.  Fantasy, in its many and varied forms, can not only provide an excellent escape for the mind, it can also awaken new ideas and deeper creativity. I love being able to experience fantasy.  In addition to all the amazing and wondrous things we humans can create, we can develop stories in incredible places on worlds that only come to being from creative minds. Throughout history fantasy
