Who Are You Trying to Impress?

There is nobody you need to impress but yourself. I know that this seems like a lie.  But it is one of the greatest truths there is. There are always going to be people who dislike you, or disapprove of you.  When they are acquaintances it’s a very different thing than when they are close friends or family.  Some of the ideas we have, decisions and choices we make, actions we take will not align with other people’s values, beliefs,

What Do You Desire for Today?

What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique.  I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different.  We likely are wearing different clothing.  What we eat will vary.  Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details.  All

Why Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Why do you deserve what you desire?  The short answer is simply – because you do. The slightly longer answer is because you deserve what you desire because you are capable of creating an incredible life where you are content and happy, because you can. The much longer answer is that you deserve what you desire because we live in an abundant universe.  Because of that abundance, and our power as creators, we are able to manifest our desires, and

Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Do you do things that you desire to do? It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves. Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on. Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a

How Do You Hit the Reset Button?

Everybody needs a chance to hit the reset button. Whether it is merely for a few minutes, a night, or an extended vacation, hitting the reset button is essential to our wellbeing.  We might have things that need to be done on a regular basis, but we still need to rest and relax from time to time.  That is what it means to hit the reset button. Despite negative connotations in the idea of rest and relaxation, such as slacking

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

What is My Motivation?

What is my motivation? This is not just a question an actor asks of their director…it is a question about life.  What is it that motivates me to do the things I do? I am a writer and editor.  Writing is a craft I have been working on since I was nine years old, and truly focused on for about twenty years now.  My first editor taught me a tremendous amount about not just editing, but writing to its core,

How does Thank You Empower Positivity?

Thank you for your support. While I do this in part for myself, it is knowing that you are out there, reading these words, that helps keep me going.  I am so deeply grateful for you, that I need to take a moment to simply say, Thank You. Gratitude is the ultimate tool in the world of conscious reality creation.  Expressing gratitude for what we already possess, not just saying the words but FEELING grateful, will draw more of the

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 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
