How Does Being Only in the Now Work?

Only the now matters in the grand scheme of things. Yes, we can learn from the past and do things to prepare for the future…but this moment is the most real moment we will have. Only the now is the place of true reality.  The actual, factual place where anything exists.  Each individual moment, right here and right now, are where reality lives. My latest reading material has been Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. 

What Is Passion?

What are you passionate about? This is a question that a lot of people tend to neglect.  They go about their lives, doing the things that they do, some for themselves, some for other people.  The answer to that question is a shrug of the shoulders, a tilt of the head, possibly even a thoughtful, “Hm.” Tony Robbins ends every section of his Personal Power series with, “Live with Passion.”  This has nothing to do with physical and sexual intimacy,

What Is Pathwalking?

Pathwalking is not just my personal life philosophy.  It is my way of taking all of the ideas I have been studying for many years now, and putting it into practice. A great deal of the process is dependent on thought and feeling.  I have to take the thought, give it necessary feeling, and then perform an intentional action to get where I want to go. Six years ago, in my seventh ever post in Pathwalking, I explained the what

Ten Things Making Me Happy

In response to a great deal of awful things from the start of this year, I want to share with you ten things in my personal life that are making me happy. While Valentine’s Day is my least favorite holiday, the message of love it conveys is worth spreading.  Rather than keep it to one day designed to generate revenue for florists, chocolatiers and card companies, I think spreading love every day is a fine thing. Love begins with the

Seven Sources to Inspire Positivity

Sources to inspire Positivity can be found anywhere. Some sources of inspiration are easier to come by than others.  Yet knowing we have an endless pool of resources, we can be inspired and find Positivity in all sorts of unexpected places. It’s important to keep in mind that inspiration doesn’t need to be a grandiose, earth-shattering something.  We can be inspired by surprisingly mundane and uncomplicated things.  Inspiration can be that simple spark that gets you to eat healthy, to

Thoughts on my Writing

Writing is my passion. While my favorite things to write are fantasy, sci-fi and Steampunk, I enjoy writing EVERYTHING.  Give me a topic, tell me how many words you want and I will write! I totally need and want more paid writing gigs.  But I digress. Over the years I’ve written brochures, blogs, text for websites and many other business-centric pieces.  For a time I even had my own company for this purpose, though its focus was a bit broader.

New book – Five Easy Steps to Change the World for the Better

I have an idea. What would happen if we decided to think before we speak more frequently? Further, this being the 21st century and all, what if we decided to think before we post? Why? To change the discourse of our society for the better. All too often we are inundated with anger, with hate, with negativity. What’s more, we tend to spread it out further by talking about these terrible things and posting about them online. What if instead

Musings on writing projects and getting readers

How do I draw in more readers? I have now published four books. It began with the first year’s worth of Pathwalking, including some extra bits (which largely came from this blog). The second was Seeker: The Source Chronicles Book I. First in the fantasy series I’ve been working on now since 1998. Due to the nature of the story I targeted it not just to lovers of Fantasy, but to young adults. It is certainly no more violent than

Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II

Seeker – The Source Chronicles Book I was published by my Argent Hedgehog Press in November of 2014. It is my pleasure to announce – Finder – The Source Chronicles Book II is here!  The sequel to Seeker is live for purchase. Five thousand years ago, a comet was on a collision course with t’Thera. To stop it from destroying life across the planet, all of the wizards and fully realized sorcerers and sorceresses combined their power to arrest its
