I want it noted that the working title for this blog post was “Manifesting My Fist in Your Face”.You’ll see why. I’m a self help junkie from way back. I’ve been working on fixing myself and my life, or changing myself and my life, or creating my higher self, or whatever you choose to call […]

Treat It Like It’s Not Yours
Like a lot of creatives I have an issue with putting my work out there. It’s not that I’m ashamed of the work, or worried about the quality, I’m not really sure what it is. Maybe it’s a fear of seeming like I’m bragging by implying my work is worth attention. Maybe I’m worried others […]
Judge Not
Matthew 7:1 tells us “Judge not lest ye be judged” which is good advice, but I’ve always thought they just could have stopped with judge not. We shouldn’t refrain from judging other people because they might judge us in return, we should just refrain from making judgments about the behavior and life choices of other […]
Own Your Choices
When I was young, in my early 20’s, I had a chip on my shoulder the size of a ship’s mast. I thought everything that was wrong with my life was someone else’s responsibility. I never linked the choices I made with the unhappiness in my life. As I got older, I wish I could […]
Say Something
As I mentioned in my last post, my aunt has pancreatic cancer and it’s terminal. Since the virus and the shelter in place orders, it’s not been possible for me to go and visit her, but we’ve been fortunate enough to be able to have FaceTime conversations. Talking with someone who is facing the end […]
Seize the Day
I have an aunt, really a second mother to me, who is dying of terminal cancer. Because of the virus, I can’t go and be with her right now, so we’ve been keeping in touch through e-mail and FaceTime chats. Our chats are wide ranging, talking about what I’m doing and what she’s experiencing as […]
Trying Scared
A while back I mentioned in a post on my Facebook profile that there were exactly 14 steps between the back wall of my bedroom and the end wall of the hallway in the upstairs of my home. The reason I knew that, I explained, was because I had the habit of pacing that distance […]
What We’re Owed and What We Owe
When I was a kid, probably because I was told this so often, I thought that I could control the world, or the world writ small, which meant the people around me. I was a smart and intuitive kid, and I’d been told over and over that if I were just better bad things wouldn’t […]
An Attitude of Gratitude
I’m not a new agey sort of person. I don’t much believe in crystals or affirmations and I certainly don’t believe there’s any “Secret”. I do believe there are benefits to trying to see the positive side life, I can attest to that personally. Seeing the positive has made differences in my life I can’t […]
#JeSuisCharlie: The Consequences of Truth
I wasn’t planning to write this post. Like a lot of other people today, among them the ever thoughtful and thought provoking writer Will Reichard, I’ve been thinking about truth and the consequences of speaking it. Will talks, and rightly so, about the fact that extremists understand the power of the truth, and try to […]
