Why or Why Not?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Do you ever find that you are asking yourself why or why not a lot? Often the topic can be similar, but it’s just a matter of approach.  Why take that chance?  Why not take that chance? Why is a question we ask constantly, pretty much all of our lives.  Why is the sky blue?  Why are those people holding hands?  Why did he/she/they dump me?  And

Why Be Happy?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you happy? We often shy away from this question.  Why?  Because when we look at the world around us, and all the troubles going on, we might just find that having our own happiness makes us feel guilty. It is one of the most ludicrous things I can possibly imagine.  Why?  Because just about everything we are doing with our lives is to find things that

Five Truths About Heart and Head

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The heart and head will sometimes pull you in different, opposing directions. Your feelings will try to take you one way, while your thoughts attempt to take you another.  Oddly, despite these both coming from you, they can make you feel as if you are an outside observer. When you can reach that place, and be the detached, outside observer, you can best determine how to synchronize

Why Does Aligning Head and Heart Matter?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Getting head and heart in sync can build tremendous positivity. However, getting the head (thought) and the heart (feeling) aligned can be challenging. One way to get the head and heart in sync is to be more mindful.  Mindfulness, or awareness, can take us to all kinds of incredible places. This is not awareness of the outside world…it is awareness of ourselves.  It is a matter of

How Can Patience Build Positivity?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Patience can be a real stepping stone in generating more positivity. When we are patient, we allow for the time that may be necessary for change.  When we do not focus on why we need this thing or that right here, right now…we can better focus on the thing coming to us. More often than most of us realize, patience pays off far more than impatience or

What is Selfishness?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Selfishness is not what you think it is. This can be particularly challenging, because a great deal of the way in which we perceive our universe attributes much to selfishness.  And while there are certainly some tremendously selfish people out there, much of what people see as selfish is not. I want to begin with a broad definition of what selfishness is NOT.  Selfishness is not taking

Is the World Yours?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The world is only a terrible place if you accept it as such. You and I, however, have the power to change it for the better.  Yes, I know that this feels like a stretch, but it is still the truth. I am well aware that many terrible things are happening.  Aware doesn’t even begin to cover it.  Spend a minute scrolling through Facebook or Twitter or

How Do We Make 2019 Amazing?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   This New Year has the potential to be amazing.  All we have to do is to make it so. It starts with ourselves. 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

Is Life Black and White?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Life is not just black and white. Our lives are not lived in the extremes of either/or.  Life is lived in the greys and colors between the black and white of the extremes. Society wants us to use these extremes because they appear easy to relate to.  Black and white, fat and thin, short and tall, rich and poor, and so forth.  These absolutes feel as if

How Does Being Aware Take Me Across The Bridges?

For me, being aware of my mindset, mindful of what I am thinking and feeling, is the key to creating what I truly desire from this life. Conscious reality creation is the ultimate gift humankind has.  The other animals on this planet, no matter how intelligent they may be, don’t have the same capacity to create as we do.  We are the only animals that can build tools to allow us to travel anywhere across the globe, infinitely expand our
