Category: Positive Thinking
Posts on what it actually takes to think positively — not the performative kind that pretends nothing’s wrong, but the discipline of orienting toward what’s possible without lying to yourself about what’s hard.

Werewolves and a Negative State of Mind
State of mind has a lot to do with our communications and how we perceive life. Something that puts us in a negative state of mind or feeling of being under attack can make the simplest subsequent communication with a stranger seem equally negative or malevolent. Like most people, I need reminders of this, and…

Before You Get Too Old, Make Things Right
There’s nothing sadder—or more karmic—than the husk of a once vital, strong, aggressive, even abrasive individual who has waited too late to make things right and has to both live and die with that regret. I’ve seen enough of it to know to try to do my best by people so that I won’t have…

Empath: The Best Personality Type to Marry
Question: What is the best personality to marry if you are an empath? Someone who is emotionally healthy. That is, of course, the ideal answer for everyone, empath or not, but as an empath, you do have special needs and the last thing you want is to … Featured Book: Altered Destiny With her destiny…

Applied Astrology: Leo Moons and Narcissistic Behaviors
As a blogger on the subjects of astrology and empaths, I find that the question I’m asked more than any other is about zodiac signs and narcissists, which I believe to be the polar opposite of an empath and certainly the bane of many empaths I know, including myself. The most consistent and amusing question…

Meditation: Fox Hole vs Rabbit Hole
Usually, when I write about meditations, they’re my own. In this case, the meditation was someone else’s, but it was specifically about me. A friend shared this meditation with me and then called to let me know that something that was once important to me would be coming back into my life. When she first…

What It Is Wednesday: Being Reactive
I hate being reactive. I hate that I sometimes let people manipulate my feelings–joy occasionally, anger and jealousy mostly–for the sheer enjoyment of my emotional reaction. Even more, I hate that I often don’t even see it until looking back later. Some people just know how to push my buttons, and most often those people…

Anti-Bullying: Why I Dyed My Hair Purple
I dyed my hair purple last week. Professional salon job. It was time for a cut and color, long past because I can almost never schedule two afternoon hours off from work during the week and I’ve had silver in my hair since I was 18. My inability to get to the salon before my…

What It Is Wednesday: Time Speeds Up
For a few years now, I’ve been feeling the energy of autumn not at the end of August or in September but the first week of August, even when it’s 105 outside. Like sensing 2nd harvest at 1st harvest, for those of you who understand that reference. For those who don’t, we’ll, there’s still a…

The Single Biggest Regret of my Life
See there, I know what you did—you saw me say “the biggest single regret of my life” and you rushed over here to see if I was going to dish about a certain someone. Or, maybe, even about you. I’ve tried to live my life without regrets. I understand that I am a culmination of…

What It Is Wednesday: The Magical Gift of Synchronicity
I love synchronicity, those sudden coincidences or long-growing life-changers that are changes of direction on our life maps and sometimes intersections with something or someone we never dreamed of. If ever there was a Godspark, synchronicity is it. It’s having your meeting moved unexpectedly to a building you never visit and running into someone you…

I Literally Changed My Perspective in One Afternoon
Last week, in the course of one afternoon, I literally changed my perspective. And when I say literally, I mean both physically and mentally. If I’d had any idea how one little change in my work space would make life easier, I would have done it a few years back. You might not think that…

What It Is Wednesday: What Do I Want?
All my Father’s Day weekend company left, and I’m looking at a long list of chores and projects that “should have been done already,” like…weeks ago…that I feel the need to stress over because so much has always been expected of me, by myself more than anyone. And I’m deciding to take them one at…
