I generally do not buy into celebrity hype, however, I am a purveyor of the arts. If you can call reality TV art. My awesome sister and her husband asked a while back what five celebrities you would want to be friends with. I do find myself compelled toward some celebrities, so I play along. Turns out, this has been a fun dinner party question for my friends, too! I am adapting this to...
Sometimes your world has to come to a complete halt so you can finally learn to stand still. Be present. That lovely cliche is so common through our new age lingo, yoga-centric, self-awareness obsessed culture. Kind of a trendy catch phrase, for some. Yet, being present is so necessary to our focus, our fertile imagination, and live vibrantly as our healthiest selves. Have you tried to “be present” however? For a long period of...
I have several projects going on right now, and a fabulous company I am working toward working for. With everything going on, I am planning a personal “blog challenge” for this site. Blog challenge. That seems to be what the cool kids are calling it on the web these days. Thirty days. Thirty posts. Each post pre-planned. This very much is not my style, but at the same time, I figure it may challenge...
Two weeks into the New Year, but still feeling new, I see people all around acting reflectively and considering how to have that ever-desired “fresh start”. Yesterday I referenced ancient practices in visualization and spiritual callings to release the parts of your past that you allow to hold you back. Perhaps you can even use these practices to call back a part of your soul you left behind. Today I read the Wednesday Word...
My problem in society is that I am always in the middle. I perceive it that way, at least. I am too crunchy. I am too preppy. I am too serious. I am too flighty. You know, I think I’m perfect.* I think most of us, however, feel held back sometimes, by past experiences, people, and issues. I talked about this before, but the truth is, we all have issues to let go. Self-help...
What are you to do? Something arises in your life, and the authorities you are working with inform you that you are optionless. No path has been beaten for you. Surrender. Game over. This is particularly prevalent when Middle America deals with health care. From insurance companies dictating what is “necessary” for you versus an “optional procedure”, to the Pharmas pushing their vaccinations and symptom cures and fast fixes as “necessities” for your healthy...
(Post Subtitle: How Useless Can My College Degree Be?) Mes Amis, If you could wake up tomorrow, and your life could be what you wanted to make of it, what would it look like? Without the ever-closer wedding looming, but instead happily behind me and full of joyful memories, I have time to think again. Maybe dwell is a more accurate word. I look at the house and all the work we need to...
Wait for it…
