Live Without Barriers

Some hearts will never open.
Some minds will never be changed.
Step down from the podium of blame.
Don’t allow yourself to be held back.
Prevail. Succeed. Live. Be Happy.

Try Something New, Dream Big! Create a Vision Board!

Maybe some of those New Year resolutions just didn’t pan out like you thought they would. Spring is another time of newness and rejuvenation; do some Spring cleaning! In other words, declutter and rid yourself of the things that don’t work in your life and do some soul searching!
The purpose of a Vision Board (aka Dream Board) is to help you focus on your dreams, goals, and aspirations in life. Some say it’s a magical process... 
Start with a poster board or old cardboard – reusing will bless your board with good karma!   All you have to do is take pictures (from magazines, your phone, the internet, etc.) that depict your goals or things you want to obtain. If you can’t find the right pictures, you can also spell it out with words. Just cut out whole words or letters from publications and attach them to your board. You can add backgrounds and more things for inspiration. Pick a theme like sports, your career, education, hobbies or leave it all inclusive like most do.
The board will continue to grow and expand as you accomplish your goals and think of new ones. You can also make a stack of books that inspire you or use your cubicle wall as a Vision Board. There are no wrong ways to create your Vision Board.
My Vision Board started
with hopes of Obama's administration,
my college education, career goals,
and moving to Columbus.
Enjoy!









I added animal rights, more traveling, and  more about work and education. About 7 of these items have come to fruition.




 
Here, I took a digital picture of my Vision Board and began to add digital pix to it through a software program.

The Canvas is Mightier Than the Mirror

On days off I venture around the city observing the free art; architecture and parks. I also visit galleries featuring the avant-garde and museums with some amount of history in the mix. I find myself so engrossed in the art that I forget about myself – my appearance. We unlike any other species marvel at ourselves. And yet, when we truly feel the soul and hear the voice of the piece we’re lost in – we feel inferior with our self-absorbed 
obsessions.  





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.

God and Nature

"If God could become man, then he could also become stone, plant, animal, and element and perhaps in this way there is redemption in Nature" ~ Novalis


For the Love of Animals

On the Facebook page, a photo album to inspire you to advocate animal rights and to enjoy their simple beauty and nature.

Spirituality and the Search

"...humans seem to share a universal need to connect with something larger than themselves. It seems each individual religion was created by one group of people as their way to explain the universal human need for connection."


Open the Drawbridge

Everyone has issues, fears, and insecurities. One cannot be an isolated, introspective fortress that holds strong, hiding its inner workings and exuding intimidation. One must flow -- to share, relate, and understand. Growth cometh.


The Creators

"We are called upon to become creators, to make the world new."
