#PositivePostsPlease

Everyday write/post/upload/tweet/speak about least one new thing, living being, thought/feeling, or experience you are Grateful for! 
If you struggle, take a moment to make someone else feel good with a simple old-fashioned greeting, specific compliment, or thoughtful gesture. 
 Share not to boast, posture, or for ego. 
Share to inspire, motivate, and connect.
Now more than ever we need positivity over negativity. 
Be the revolution and use hash tags,

All Life Matters

To not suffer ourselves, we must seek to end all suffering.
We must always look beyond ourselves. 
And not just humankind. 
Anything that can feel can suffer. 
Suffering comes back to you just like the benefits of a good deed.


What if Heaven was a place...

What if Heaven was a place your mind goes when your body fails (or dies)? The mind’s energy would live on, continuing to produce joyful experiences based on your memory.  The positive mood enhancing chemicals would take over and create absolute euphoria. It would not be like a drug-like induced state or a dream. Rather, it would be an actual experience for the soul and spirit in every way with all senses involved. All of the people, things, places, feelings, and moments that gave you joy were reinstated as your eternal experience --- incorporated to create new experiences just as pleasant as the initial. 
Concentrate on this. Imagine what your Heaven would be like and write it out like a short story. List the people, places, and things you want to have there.  Think about your idea of a perfect day and all it would include. This could be your Heaven. It could be your Heaven on Earth. Because when you focus on so much positively, you’re going to create a better experience for yourself. The positive energy you use to create a better world can carry-on

Imagine. Focus. Be.

All in All

 In all the books and articles I’ve read, concepts I’ve studied, internet research I’ve conducted, and the seminars and workshops I’ve attended --- I have come to the realization that nothing Soothes the Soul or facilitates Calmness like Nature, and nothing makes us feel Good or Happy like Kindness.




A Heaven of Our Own Making

Death is unfortunate. And we all want to believe in something greater and better beyond this life. We spend our lives constructing our heaven or hell; in this life and for whatever comes next. It often seems as though the old are ready or even willing to go. For they know they have exhausted all their energy, dreams, and ability to manifest any more. Those who live long lives have more time to create their heaven and rectify the hell they may have once created. Do not fear for the short lived; for children are always exhausting all resources to make heaven.

The 12 Laws of the Universe



1. Law of Divine Oneness: The Law of Divine Oneness explains how we are all connected in some way. Everything we do, say or think is connected and effects all others and this vast universe we live in.

2. The Law of Vibration: The Law of Vibration is all about how everything in this universe vibrates or moves. It also explains how each thing, sound, thought, emotion and words all have their very own vibration or frequency in which it lives.

3. The Law of Action: The Law of Action states that we must move in the direction of our dreams in order to achieve them. We must engage in some action that supports what we think about and or dream about.

4. The Law Of Correspondence: The Law of Correspondence states “as above, so below” or in other words, everything has its own corresponding counterpart.

5. The Law Of Cause And Effect: This Universal Law I’m sure you’ve heard of. Maybe you know it by another name. You know: every action has an equal or opposite reaction. Yep, that’s this law in a nutshell.

6. The Law Of Compensation: The Law of Compensation is really the Law of Cause and Effect as it relates to how we are provided with blessings based on our deeds and daily actions. You’ve heard what comes around goes around; well here it is, as a Law of Nature.

7. The Law Of Attraction: The Law of Attraction is certainly the most talked about spiritual law but, it is not the only spiritual law as you can see on this page. This Universal Law is all about how we create the things and events in our lives with the energies we create with our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings.

8. The Law of Transmutation Of Energy: This Universal Law demonstrates how all people have the ability and the power to change their current situations in life. You can do this by changing the energies that you are putting out into the world, by following and understanding these universal laws of attraction.

9. The Law of Relativity: The Law of Relativity states that all things are relative. We are all given our own roadblocks, our own personal challenges we must face in order to grow as individuals and by comparing yours to other peoples circumstances is a waste, because there situations are different, yet, relative.

10. The Law of Polarity: This law states that just like a magnet that has opposite polarities so does everything else in nature. Everything has an equal opposite such as good and evil or yes and no.

11. The Law of Rhythm: The Law of Rhythm explains how everything in the universe has its own rhythm. These rhythms are important to our very existence. These rhythms are what create the seasons. This rhythm is what the cycle of life is all about. All cycles have parts to them that we favor less and it is in how we deal with these things that are important.


12. The Law of Gender: This law simply states that there is both a feminine and a masculine principle to all things in nature. It is up to us to open ourselves up to these gender principals to create balance in our lives. Imagine this law as the law of yin and yang.

Prayer and The One Unanswered

When I was a child I would pray. I would kneel at the foot of my bed and put my hands together pointing up. I would close my eyes, concentrate, and often press my face against my hands (nose to thumbs). My prayer always ended with
“… keep my soul free from sin. Keep those that I love free from sin. And take my soul to heaven when I die.”


When I was a teenager I prayed to be brave. I prayed for confidence. I prayed to ignore my haters and for them to not harm me. I prayed the bullies would leave me alone. I prayed for skills to defend myself. I prayed for God to change me; to not be different.  

I was brave even though I didn’t think so at the time. Confidence came and so did defensiveness. But I was to be different. That was my calling and it still is. I was not chosen to be a light on the strand that decorates, but rather a single candle flickering in the window directing attention. 

Attention is power.

My beliefs have changed over the decades. I choose personal affirmations over prayer. I even wrote a customized mantra:
I believe in me and all that I do
I believe in goodness and that of everyone
(I believe that I will be well received)
I believe in the universe and that it is ours for the making

There is power in prayer.

Terms have changed, understandings have evolved, and explanations have become vaguer. But it really is all the same. I have never stopped talking to “God”. 


To be ComplainLess

  1. Be aware. Recognize your typical paths to complaining – what (who) sparks your tendency to gripe. Minimize your exposure to them (eliminating those ’sparks’ altogether may not always be realistic or the best thing). Know that your grumbling is a complete waste of energy.
  2. Be thankful. Regularly reflect on all the good in your life (people, opportunities, things). Understand and enjoy how lucky you really are. Be entitled to nothing.
  3. Be patient. Pause before you begin. Nip a complaint as you feel it coming. Put a smile or thoughtful statement in its path. Blame no one. Blame nothing.
  4. Be accountable. Focus on solving problems rather than having them. Set the example for others and recommit when you slip. Care for yourself and create a positive habit.
