Days of Change: Choose You

May 1, 2022

Choose you. Always choose yourself first. If anyone tries to tell you that you are not worthy of your own life in ANY way … stand up taller, pivot, then walk out ~ no matter what. Be clear in saying, “I do not receive that” ~ (thank you Elyse Myers for that one) I’m talking … More Days of Change: Choose You

Days of Change ~ Focus on the Joy

April 30, 2022

When things work ~ it’s awesome. When it doesn’t feel good, it’s time to change things up again. When I had a long heart felt team meeting (with the cats) and my soul, I had to take a look at what I’ve been doing and where I want to be by this time next year. … More Days of Change ~ Focus on the Joy

Days of Change: You Get To Be You, Mindfully.

April 28, 2022

There are a lot of people who teach or practice a positive psychology but have never suffered, or felt a crisis, or experienced hardship. I don’t want you to suffer hardship, but then … I sort of do. There are also a lot of young, wealthy (or financially secure) people who have financial backing who … More Days of Change: You Get To Be You, Mindfully.

Days of Change: Uncomfortable

April 27, 2022

The Brooklyn Library is giving every young person in America a free library card. You can check out all the banned books, and decide for yourself. The fact that full grown adults are banning books in this country that prides itself on being home of the free and brave, they sure are saying, “except your … More Days of Change: Uncomfortable

Days of change: Wired $2400 to Spend

April 26, 2022

You have $2400 to spend today. What will you buy? We are tethered to the internet. We don’t know it until we live without it for a week. It’s connected to our brain through a conditioned response. We are Pavlov’s dogs and Skinner’s pigeons. Tap the screen, get fed a reward of connection. Put the … More Days of change: Wired $2400 to Spend

331 Days of Change: The Power of the Mind

April 14, 2022

If you believe it to be true, it is true ~ folklore … but also neuroscience … and also spiritual/religious belief systems ~ while also witchcraft and mindfulness and … it’s a long list. It’s all advertising. 🙂 The sort we sell ourselves. This seems to be a universal belief system. Some people call them … More 331 Days of Change: The Power of the Mind

332 Days of Change: Vibe of a Digital Nomad

April 13, 2022

Listen to the vibes before deciding where you place your attention. I got so sick of the karen thing … once again, the world using some part of a female’s identity to rip her apart and tear her down. Once again, and this is so old and tired ~ the world placing all of it’s … More 332 Days of Change: Vibe of a Digital Nomad

333 The numerologists call this the angel protection number. I’ve just published two new chapters ~ one each in the Kindle Vella’s I’m writing.

336 Days of Change: Creative brains and Flow

April 9, 2022

Every time we stop our creativity to count off how many days to do this, or how many months to do that ~ we interrupt the flow. Whenever we tell someone not to think about or worry about money, we are unconsciously telling them two major things. Think about money The speaker has never had … More 336 Days of Change: Creative brains and Flow

Writers, do you have a season? I’m on a street team of a really sweet writer (not sure if she’d be okay w/my talking about it here but I’ll ask her before telling too much).

April 6, 2022

I’m looking at the blob of clay that has been “work from home” as a content creator. It’s been an interesting life path ~ One I’m wondering if I took the wrong way. That too, is successful. “We learn more from our mistakes than we do from our successes.” ~T. Berry Brazelton Yikes! So, as … More 339 Days of Change: Life Path

I went back to the beginning of my professional roots today. I’ll be writing about that on a metaphorical pub crawl through The Positive Psychology People; Medium, Elephant Journal and perhaps, if there’s time, over on LinkedIn. That’s all non-fiction.

342 Days of Change. ReWrite

April 3, 2022

Between 2013-2019, I went through the most painful period of my life. We live in a journey. Life has two paths. Stagnation and generatively. To be honest, I’d choose a long spell of doing nothing. Stagnation sounds pretty good in this world of toxic and violent people everywhere. And yet, we get bored when we … More 342 Days of Change. ReWrite

344 Days of Change: Censorship

April 1, 2022

There’s a lot of censorship in our world. It’s everywhere. You don’t even need to deep dive into learning where or how. Go on TikTok for a few days after a big social event. Whew!

How many times do you hear yourself say, “I CAN quit you” [?] No, not THAT sort of quit. I’m talking about who and what we choose to invite into our lives.

358 Days of Change: Writing

March 18, 2022

Writing on Kindle Vella is an odd duck. You don’t get paid unless they’re reading. You don’t get readers unless you give Amazon permission to pit you against other writers. You are giving away your content (intellectual property), artistry, and financial gain (if any). So? Why do it. The same reason you do anything. I’ve … More 358 Days of Change: Writing
