“To have more, become more.” Getting more than you’ve got starts with working on yourself. It starts with changing who you are. Until you’re willing to change, you’ll always have what you’ve got, and not much more. This is a hard lesson, a lesson that many refuse to believe, refuse to embrace.

Courage is a Choice
What is preventing you from the relentless pursuit of your most cherished dreams? Is it circumstances? Are you keeping your dreams on hold thinking that as soon as your situation changes you will seize the opportunity and go for it? If that is what you’ve been telling yourself then you might want to examine your situation a little further. Is it possible that there is something else holding you back? Could it possibly be some underlying fear that you haven’t quite come to grips with? Don’t let fear rob you of your dreams There is an incredible array of fears that can influence us in many subtle and deceptive ways. So much so that we…
Involuntary Resistance Coming to Light
Much of the spiritual path, especially in awakening, is about bringing awareness–bringing your own inner light–to shine fully on yourself. The darkness exists and persists where we refuse to look and refuse to go. It is by its nature a creature that lives in the negative spaces–the spaces where other things aren't. That's why it is so important to have courage to look deeply within yourself again and again. It is so important to…

How Focus Defines Our Life
Photography is an amazing way to learn about focus. This is because the very act of viewing life through the lens of a camera can help us develop a truly empowering skill. We call that skill focus, and learning to use it properly can transform our perception of the world around us and the people in it. I believe that the power to change your reality is equal to your ability to focus your attention in the most beneficial direction at any given time. 3 things photography can …

Innocence
(a friend of mine whom I met online around two years ago sent me this article to post it on my blog. She disappeared the next day without completing the article and I never heard of her after that.

Breaking Apart Mental, Emotional, and Physical Triggers
One way the shift into the awakened space can feel is like having your engine be taken apart and spread across the garage floor. You are suddenly very aware that this buggy ain't going no where, and you are exceptionally clear about what has actually been in your engine. In the past years, I felt like I re-did the engine multiple times too. It felt like I'd just get it all put back together, drive half a mile, and then stop for another upgrade. Good gravy.With all that said, having in-depth clarity about your inner workings is incredibly illuminating, but like most things, if you don't…

In the Pursuit of Happiness
What do you want to be? The simple answer to that question is the same for every single person on the planet. We all want to be happy.

Duct tape – a frugal parent’s best friend
You have probably heard over and over that duct tape is the magic solution for all problems. It might even prevent World War III. Here is one fine example of how it can save a parent some money. Five years ago, I bought my girls a Springfree® trampoline. What is awesome about these, pretty much as the name implies, is that there is no spring on which to catch one’s foot. In fact the whole thing is pretty sleek. Despite the seemingly hefty $900 price (I see they cost a bit more now), this is the best recreational investment I have made for the kids, for several reasons: After five years, …
