The Message of the Message

There have been times when I’ve gotten a kick out of two people talking at cross purposes to each other.  You know, they make comedy skits out of this stuff.  You think you’re both talking about the same thing but you’re not or you think you’re talking about something completely different and it ends up being the same thing. …Details

Want Vs. Need

Every have those moments when you have too many things on your mind, too many things to do in the day, too many things in your hands, and if you could just get everything to behave then you could get the keys out without spilling the …#&@^#$(&^#(%  *insert adult temper tantrum here* There are many times when what we want and what we need seem to be at odds with each other. …Details

*Pssssst* They’re Everywhere….

It’s kinda cracking me up.  As we enter into this year of the Goat I’m starting to see goat themed things in the media. Got this advertisement for a concert by the Mountain Goats. And then there’s the We365 app with their provide a goat challenge.…Details

I Did What?

What’s exciting about this year is the mix of practical with emotions.  If we choose to let go of the old narratives we’ve been living we can use what we gained and what we learned in 2014 to move forward in the life we want to have. …Details

One Is Silver and the Other Gold

There is a huge bias in the spiritual community towards soul groups, soul mates, and having known people for many previous lifetimes.  We all want to be appreciated, to feel connected, to be unconditionally loved, to be approved of and to have relationships which are alive and active and easy. …Details

Self-Delusion
