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

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

The Tunnel

tunnel

I was in my Yoga class yesterday and it was time for Shavasana which is my favorite part because you get to lay there with closed eyes and feel the difference in your body after the hard poses.  As I lay there the thought of a picture I took a while back came into my mind.  It was a tunnel for water with a light at the end showed here.  At the time I took the photo(many months ago) I knew I would use it for something in the future and the future is now.    Right after I thought… Continue reading

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

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

Our Beloved Animals

During our lives we have had the privilege to be blessed with the presence of beings that don’t look like us.  They are unconditionally loving and loyal to the end.  They fill our lives with joy and lift us up when we are down.  I consider them angels in the physical world.  Ancient cultures have revered animals as sacred beings sometimes worthy of worship.  In my opinion every being whether human or not is sacred and should be given the same freedoms as we give ourselves.  They should be loved and taken care of.   We all know this deep… Continue reading

Law Of Attraction

I first heard of the law of attraction several years ago by watching the movie the secret.  I didn’t pay too much attention to it at the time but I knew I should re-visit it at some point as it sparked curiosity.  Since then I have heard of it many times through various forms of social media.  There are several things that I have tried to test the theory.  It does work, but I have not been as diligent in making it work in my life as much as I could.  Trapped in the ego for most of my life,… Continue reading

Why I do Yoga

Almost a year ago I set out to join a Yoga studio to start doing it on a regular basis.  The only experience I had prior was doing it on the Nintendo Wii several years ago.  I knew it was beneficial for me but did not realize how much it could have an impact on my life so positively.  I also wanted to try and find a Yoga teacher that was heart based.  I went to Google and searched for heart based Yoga.  One teacher in the area came up in particular and so I looked into the studio she… Continue reading
