Flexing Your Inner Strength

I’ve noticed that some of my closer friends are being more adversely affected by news of the daily antics in DC.; expressing lots of stress and worry now about the upheaval in government structures and personnel firings, etc.. To which I can only say that much of this fallout was inevitable once the die wasContinue reading “Flexing Your Inner Strength”

The Play on Illusion

Now you see it, now you…wait, was it here at all? One week in and it’s the ancient ‘pea under the walnut shell’ trick amid mass confusion. Were you fooled this time? How about the next time he shuffles the shells around? Do you still think the pea is under one of them? Are youContinue reading “The Play on Illusion”

Another New Remote Control on Order

Now that January 20th has arrived I should order another new remote control for my decade old TV. I burned the MUTE button out of the first one a year ago and will likely do the same for the current one as well since my ‘preferred mutee’ is in charge of the nation starting today.Continue reading “Another New Remote Control on Order”

Presence and Transcendence

Say aloud: “I AM in the NOW. My NOW may not be a preferred location, but it MY NOW.” Breathe into that NOW and feel your lungs expand. Feel the air flowing in and then out. Take another breath even slower than the first. Allow the extra oxygen to flood your body with precious life.Continue reading “Presence and Transcendence”

All That You Are

“On the stroke of midnight tonight, you can resolve to be better, if you like… to be fitter, to eat cleaner, to work harder. On the stroke of midnight tonight, you can resolve to become a whole new you, if you so choose. Or, you can take a moment to acknowledge all you already are.Continue reading “All That You Are”

To Be Hopeful

“To BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroysContinue reading “To Be Hopeful”

What Is TRUTH?

This is my latest attempt to confront TRUTH as a subject in itself. My first post was Feb 2020 titled “The Truth About TRUTH”. And a later attempt at defining TRUTH was my post from January 2021 called “Who Believes in TRUTH?” So hopefully I won’t repeat myself in this one, but with such popular appsContinue reading “What Is TRUTH?”

REALITY: The Mind-Bender

I think it’s nice to take a little break from all the world chaos and upheaval, and consider the nature of REALITY itself. Nothing stressful about that, is there? Just ran across this tidbit post from Neil deGrasse Tyson (American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator) that shares the philosophies I’ve been slowly absorbing over theContinue reading “REALITY: The Mind-Bender”

“What Happens Next?”

Interesting news headline of “What happens next?” after France’s Prime Minister was just voted out by their parliament. And that is a good question being voiced everywhere: ‘What happens next?’ for all of us as well—not just in France but throughout the world. Things they are a changin’ and perhaps not in a good way;Continue reading ““What Happens Next?””

A (Sort of) Survivor’s Guide

I wouldn’t really call this blog a “survival guide,” but my intent is to offer a bit of positive “coaching” along the lines of how to expand your life perspective—especially pertaining to your personal goals and explorations. That, and I focus on encouraging how to better navigate the challenging obstacles you will inevitably face throughoutContinue reading “A (Sort of) Survivor’s Guide”

“Let It Be”

“There will be an answer, LET IT BE.” That old Beatles song “Let It Be” has been playing in my head the last few days. So I’m going to just go with it and agree. Here are a few of the lyrics: “Let It Be” – (a song by The Beatles) “When I find myselfContinue reading ““Let It Be””
