Are you living the life that you envisioned? Are you doing the things that make you happy each day? Are you satisfied with your current station in life? These are all questions that I ponder all the time. The answer to those questions for me, vary depending on the day and time I’m asking them of myself. LOL! I can honestly say that I am moving closer and closer to being able to answer ALL of those questions with a yes all of the time. Well, most of the time anyway. Each day, I try to focus on being a little better than the day before. Each moment I try to stay cognizant of how I feel emotionally and where I am with my goals in life. I’ve always heard the phrase, “follow your bliss”. Are you following your bliss? I am trying. This is why I created this blog. It makes me happy to share my thoughts and spiritual journey with others in hopes of creating a more positive world. For years I’ve wondered what my purpose in life was. After much soul searching I’ve realized that there was a common theme that had been pervasive throughout my entire life. And that was to help others. One day it finally clicked. It makes me happy to see others happy and to be helpful. Sounds really simple huh? It is. Once I figured out what “MY” purpose in life was, I can now focus on the how? A little bit more information is revealed to me each day and I’m trying to enjoy each moment. ........ Read more

How much of our daily lives do we spend thinking about the past? What could have been or should have been? Personally I’ve done my fair share of this living in the past. Reliving negative experiences over again in my head and analyzing every little detail. On the flip side of that, how often do we think about the future? All the time right? We’re always thinking about what’s coming next. What we’re going to do when we get off of work. What we’re going to do after we graduate from college, after we get married, after we land that great job, yadda, yadda…it goes on and on. Think about it. You can be just sitting at your desk or driving in your car or laying on your couch, it seems like we usually focus on what’s coming next instead of the activity we are currently engaged in. I honestly did not realize how much I did this until I became aware of it. It wasn’t until I read Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” where he talks a lot about living in the present moment that I finally had the realization of this. It was amazing. I started to become more cognizant and aware of my thoughts and where they were focused. Oftentimes, it was not in the here and now. ........ Read more

What is LOVE??  What does it truly mean to love to someone? What exactly does it mean to love yourself?  Love is one of the most powerful emotions that we experience in our lives.   And yet it seems that we are always searching for it.  Why are we searching though, when love lives within us?  Love can bring us a tremendous amount of joy and happiness, as well as pain.  This is where things get confusing.  Love is not supposed to hurt or feel negative in any way.    So then why does it hurt sometimes?  When we love someone, it seems that they have a power over us.  So when that someone that we love does something that does not line up with our expectations, we feel hurt, we feel let down.  We get angry.  But real love does not really feel this way.  This is something that I’ve had to learn and re-learn many times over.  Love is not conditional.  Love is everlasting.  It just is.  Truly loving is not neediness or the allowing of others to violate us in any way.........
