Opportunity Costs

Sometimes developing consistency is more important than quality. It’s been said, “Quality over quantity,” but when it comes to developing a habit, sometimes you’ve just got to get up and do it. Repetition and practice is what makes you better, not waiting until the right moment comes. But then again, sometimes you do want to…

Upstream Thoughts

Abraham (channeled through Esther Hicks) talks about this idea of “upstream thoughts,” and I just grasped a deeper understanding of it tonight. To me, upstream thoughts are occurring anytime I’m “trying to think” about what line to say next. That’s when Spirit is no longer talking and the ego has stepped in to have a…

Change Your Story

Changing your story is all about changing your attitude. Maybe you need to change your attitude around your job, your spouse, your kids or even your illness. If you’ve been harping on all the negatives, or you can’t stand how pessimistic you sound every time you open your mouth, that’s a sure sign it’s time…

Self-expression

What’s inside us doesn’t care what we look like on the outside. It just wants to get out. It wants to be expressed so the world can know us. So let your light shine; be brave. You have something the world needs. You’ve been carrying precious cargo that needs to be shared. This is what…

You don’t have to know Anything to know Everything

This is a quote I made up to reinforce the idea that having faith is just as important as having knowledge. Please note: I am not advocating that you ignore the facts and deny logicical reasoning. What I am suggesting is that you learn how to trust yourself so you don’t have to rely on…

Destiny Points

My good friend has told me about this idea of destiny points. It has been said that destiny points are certain crossroads in life that we simply cannot miss. This is reassuring for all of us who’ve had our fair share of detours; taking the long way around (myself included). And for anyone who struggles…

Repress the Breath and You Repress the Spirit

This insight came while I noticed myself holding my breath around others – a common tendency I have because I’m ultra conscientious about my breath. Sadly, this has caused me to be a shallow breather most of my life. What’s worse, when I don’t allow my body the full in and out breath it needs,…

Don’t Overthink; Just Write

Is my grammar correct? Should I have used that semicolon there? The words themselves don’t matter as much as the words getting expressed. And, I almost didn’t use this title because when I googled it, I saw that someone else had already used it (but the author used a comma and I used a semicolon).…

FOLASE1

This was my license plate when I lived in Colorado during my mid-twenties. It was on my maroon Subaru that got me out of the Midwest and into the Great West. It stands for: Full Of Life And Spiritual Energy and the 1 represents my Life Path number. Though it sounds more like an enzyme,…

Embracing Mistakes

We can’t be afraid of making mistakes. Shying away from them will only inhibit our growth. Yet we fear saying something to a dear friend because we don’t want to lose him or her by sharing our honest advice. Or we fear writing something because we may be grammatically incorrect or sound too much like…
