How do you Empower your Power?

Empower your power. Today in America is Independence Day.  It was on this day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the original 13 colonies.  That action birthed a nation that has been both loved and hated across the globe, with ideals of freedom, liberty and independence that would change the greater world around it. “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them

How Does Surrender Work?

Surrender has always been a challenge for me. For much of my life, I have been something of a control freak.  Over the years that has grown much more subtle, largely because I’ve been working on being more present and aware in the here-and-now. But I still prefer to be in control.  I do the driving, I choose to take less-than-well-traveled paths, and I prefer to be in control of my own destiny. Unsurprisingly, conscious reality creation is rife with

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

Positivity is Not Superficial

Positivity can seem pretty superficial in the face of reality. This has made writing this particularly difficult for me today.  My government is doing something truly awful, and while on the one hand I feel powerless to do anything about this, I will not be quiet and ignore it, either.  And it is infuriating. Pardon the interruption, but I am going to state this right now.  We cannot stand for this disgusting action on the part of the US government. 

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

Nobody Is Alone

Nobody is alone. Everyone goes through rough times.  We all hit patches of discomfort, anger, sadness, loneliness.  But it is important you see that you are not, truly, alone. Life can be a real struggle.  For some people, that struggle takes on a lot of elements that most people cannot see.  Mental illness is seldom, if ever, a thing you can simply “get over.”  It requires attention, it requires thought, and though it will feel like a lone struggle, the

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

Can I Discipline Habits?

Discipline has never been my strength. For a long time now I have remarked about my frequent lack of discipline.  While this is certainly something to take into consideration in regards to how I live my life, it is time to make another change. Consciousness creates reality.  If I say I have no discipline, that’s an expression of how I feel, ergo…surprise surprise, no discipline. Like attracts like.  When I can be disciplined to do a thing, I tend to

Why am I Struggling?

I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread.  It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this?  What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days.  What

What Does it Mean to Live in the Now?

To live in the now is ultimate positivity.  Why?  Because we are living. No matter our present circumstances, we are here, living in a world of incredible abundance and possibility, now.  The positivity of this is incalculable. I know that this can be difficult to believe.  I struggle with it, too.  There are responsibilities, bills to pay, weight to lose and other matters that don’t feel so positive.  Yet when we live in the now, we can experience a higher
