What is Authenticity?

authenticity

Hello all!  I can’t believe it has been over a year since my last blog post.  I have been itching to write again and I have quite the list of blogs to write.  Over the past year I have been thinking about what authenticity is and how some people may not have thought about it much since it isn’t something that is taught very frequently.  For this post I am using the definition of authenticity as: “authenticity is the degree to which one is true to one’s own personality, spirit, or character, despite external pressures”.  So why have I chosen… Continue reading

Floating to the surface

This post is just a follow up to my post earlier this month on the election results.  In that post I basically said that I felt that the outcome was good for humanity.  I still feel this way but I want to clarify this a bit.  Here are some of my thoughts in regard to what I have seen unfold over the past two weeks.  I also have a story to tell and some words of encouragement for those that still feel in despair. The fish tank The best way I have come up with a way to describe our… Continue reading

Dakota Access Pipeline

This is something I would like to talk about because it has been heavy on my heart for many reasons.   For those of you who don’t know what this is here is a quick description.  It is an 1,172 mile long underground pipeline that starts in North Dakota and will end in Illinois.  It will carry 450,000 barrels of crude oil every day.  Currently there are over 100 Native American tribes and people from all over the world that have joined together to try and stop the construction of the pipeline in North Dakota.  If you would like more… Continue reading

Trump Wins

change

It is the day after the election.  I watched CNN on my computer last night to see who would be our next president.  I don’t normally watch TV unless there is a big event including the news.  Most likely a lot of people didn’t sleep well last night, including myself as my mind was turning more than usual at that time of the night.  Overall I think this was the best outcome for humanity in my honest opinion for several reasons and I will outline them below. Why If you are a Trump supporter you are excited that your vote… Continue reading

Feels like I have not written a blog post in so long…  I have been meaning to write this one for some time now.  These are my thoughts on raising children in these interesting times we are living in. My blessings I have been blessed with two awesome kids.  One girl and one boy, ages 9 and 7.  I would say they are fairly normal to today’s societies standards.  They are both smart and are excelling in school.  Both are athletic and enjoy sports, they enjoy watching movies, and playing video games.  My daughter is creative and loves to do… Continue reading

Loving all that is

all-we-need-is-love

At the end of each post I put “Live better, be happy, and love all that is!”.  I am going to talk about the last part of this.  Love all that is! All we need is love Many have said it.  Most of us understand what it means.  If everyone gave their attention to loving everything around them the world would be a much better place.  It would be heaven for sure I think.  And again it starts with yourself.  If you are not in love with who you are, you can’t love the things outside of yourself.  If you… Continue reading

How to control the planet

In my opinion the planet is controlled by an elite group of individuals.  They may be considered dark and evil.  But times are changing and a new paradigm shift is underway.  People are waking up and can’t stay asleep much longer.  Some people know that the world is messed up and try to fix it the old fashioned way by using force, money, or trying to spread awareness.  Sometimes this may work but overall the powers that be on this planet have had a stronghold on us for a very long time.  Those old ways are not going to work… Continue reading
