Is This Writer’s Block?

Not sure if I am dealing with writer’s block, or just simply having issues creating a topic today. Writer’s block can take on many different forms.  Sometimes it’s just a lack of ideas.  Other times a lack of inspiration.  From time to time, it’s a lack of motivation.  Certainly it can be a combination of all of the above, too. For me, there are times I just get distracted.  Might be a useful distraction, or it might be nothing but

Am I Being Proactive?

You may have noticed that by-and-large I only post positive, proactive thoughts. Part of the reason why I choose this is because I feel horridly inundated by negativity.  There are so many things happening in the world right now that are upsetting.  Sometimes it is really hard to stay focused on creating good, because it feels increasingly futile. I began writing Positivity on Mondays to combat frequent negative messages at the start of the work week.  This has been really

Do I Know Who I Am?

I have a pretty good idea about who I am. Yes, in some respects I am two people – one in the real world, one in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) – but overall, I am simply me. I wrote about this yesterday at my author website.  But one of the bridges that I am frequently working with is the one between MJ and Malcolm.  Who I am and what I do in the SCA versus the mundane world,

How Joy Empowers Us

Living in joy is the ultimate goal. I don’t want to spend my time at a desk, working for someone I might not entirely respect, doing something that bores me.  Life is just too short for that.  Rather, I want to do something that makes me happy. Have you ever been told that “You have to work for a living” or “you gotta do what you gotta do” or “you have to make ends meet” or similar?  Likely, I suspect

How is Pathwalking a Challenge?

I have a lot on my mind right now, and choosing a topic has been an interesting challenge. I have been presented with the opportunity to well and truly walk my path.  This has put me in a position where I can work on setting the schedule I desire, make the use of my time I most want to.  Further, this has afforded me a chance to work on building the destiny I most want from my life. While I

How Do We Resist Hate and Fear?

Hate is never the answer. We are all different.  You and I are not the same.  Even though we might have some similarities, we are still different.  We are individuals.  That means that each and every one of us is unique. Yet, at the same time, we are all one.  Every single one of us, at our core, is just a being of light and energy. We live in a fear-based society.  Recognizing this, we have to work extra hard

What Happens When the “Other Shoe” Drops?

When the other shoe drops, do you pick it up? I have been anticipating this situation for several months now.  I had hoped to depart on my own terms, but I suspected this was coming.  So it was not much of a surprise. The job I have held for the past year, and been duly grateful for, has come to an end.  Now my eight hours a day in a place where I was all-too-often bored, and frequently unhappy, is

How does Finding Good in Bad Things Make Life Better?

Even when things look really bleak, we can still find good in them. We are living in interesting times, in many ways like the Chinese curse.  There are a lot of people who seem hell-bent on messing with social order, let alone taking away good things for people in the name of politics and money. Yes, this is mostly a pretty terrible thing.  And yet, there has been good to have come of it.  People are taking more notice, taking

How do I Deal With a Test of Faith?

My faith is being tested. I am facing a test of my belief in conscious reality creation.  Do I believe in myself, and my own ability to consciously create the reality I want to live in?  Do I believe I am manifesting the life I really want to experience? I have always been the best at sabotaging myself.  There is no need for anyone else to interfere, I can do it just fine, thanks.  I always manage to find the

Where do you find your Path?

Where do you find your path? This can be a daunting question.  Finding the path you want to walk is a matter of necessity. No two paths are the same.  Similar in some respects, but not the same.  For example, it is my personal goal to become a bestselling author.  While there are lots of bestselling authors out there, each of us will traverse different paths to that goal. Knowing my path, where did I find it?  The simple answer
