The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

How Do You Be Happy?

Let’s be happy. Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic idea? What do we have to do to be happy? That’s the challenge we all face.  In especial when we’re inundated with lack, scarcity, and messages of exclusion, hate, and fear.  Hard to find happy when there are so many messages that are the opposite. It is time to take back our power and do what it takes to be happy. It might be something grand, like taking a vacation or

Will You Be Silent?

Do not be silent when you need to shout. See atrocities happening?  Feel angry, distressed, disturbed, incensed?  Make your voice be heard, and tell them this will not stand. We are being bombarded by almost surreal amounts of negativity.  There are some pretty terrible things happening out there, and they cannot be ignored.  No matter how much we try to stay away from all this bad news, it is impossible not to recognize the awful things that are happening. Hard

Does it Cost Anything to Be Kind?

Be kind.  To yourself, to others whether they are family, friend, or random stranger. The world could use more kindness. I think one of the reasons so many people feel so defeated is because we are not only inundated by tremendous amounts of negativity, but also awful people.  So many people doing such terrible things, whether great or small.  A total lack of decency, let alone empathy or sympathy or any amount of kindness pervades too much of the world

What is Best for You?

Doing what is best for you does not make you a bad person. A lot of people have come to the idea that if they care for themselves or put themselves first, it makes them a bad person.  It looks selfish.  They might feel as if other people will see them in a poor light. Self-care is so, so much more important than we make it, folks.  We need to better care for ourselves, and that means that doing what

How Does Joy Empower?

Joy empowers us. When we do things that bring joy into our lives, we make ourselves better, stronger, and happier.  Joy raises our frequency, and lets us attract more of the things we truly want for ourselves. Yet we frequently will deny ourselves joy.  Why?  A number of different reasons, of course. First is the external.  In a society so focused on lack and scarcity, we wind up made to feel guilty if something makes us feel joyful.  We begin

What Makes You Laugh?

Do you laugh often enough? I am not just writing about a chuckle here and there, or a derisive snort.  I am talking about a thorough, complete, can-hardly-breathe-almost-crying laugh.  A laugh of pure positivity and joy. We all know that there are some pretty awful things going on in the world.  Everybody has their struggles and their challenges.  But we also have endless possibilities and options, and chances to find things that bring us joy. Know that you are worthy

Is Letting Go Empowering?

Letting go has a great deal of significance in our lives. When we learn to let go of the things that do not serve us, it becomes far easier to cross the bridges between our worlds, walk our chosen paths, and consciously create reality. We are all energy at our core.  All energy vibrates at various frequencies.  High energy, high frequency is stronger than low energy, low frequency.  High frequencies are positive vibes, low frequencies are negative vibes. Hence where

How Do We Defeat Depression?

Depression is a liar. When you suffer from depression, you often deal with a ton of conflicting feelings and emotions that seem completely illogical, and can leave you feeling worthless, lost, and even unloved. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  If you cope with depression, this may seem untrue, but it is important for me to tell you that.  Even when it is at its worst, making you feel just awful, you are not alone. I have struggled with depression for most

Don’t Panic!

Don’t panic! Two little words, but some of the best advice you can receive. I woke up this morning, and I was feeling pretty good.  Decent night’s sleep, looking forward to taking care of some business and writing today.  But then a little voice in my head reminded me of an issue currently on my plate.  My heart rate began to accelerate, I got butterflies in the pit of my stomach, and my mind began racing through all the terrible,

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
