It was all superstition. I refused to get a new chair for nearly a decade because I was afraid it would make me have writer’s block or something if I did. The chair was busted; the back long broken off, stuffing coming out, just tore up. I didn’t care, it was my writing chair and [...]
I have been able to get over physically as well as mentally my oversensitivity to others’ words and actions through therapy and by asking myself what’s the worst that could happen if what I believed to be was true was in fact true. If someone declined my offer to come to tea because they really [...]
“A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.” This is one of many good quotes I got off this site, [...]
I got this from Avert Your Eyes, and of course I tried it. Oh, this freaked me out good for a few minutes.———————————————-This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can’t. It’s pre-programmed In your brain! Without anyone watching [...]
BlogRush is a new blog syndication network that helps generate more cross-traffic within the blogosphere. To me it seems like a new highway or expressway; it definitely seems like it will enable more blog viewership of member blogs withing it’s network. Want to join? You can check out the BlogRush badge on the side panel [...]
Emotional vampires are hard. I used to feel that I attracted negative people into my life. I sometimes still feel this way. I think I am a magnet for them because of my childhood; I think this was the case for me. Isn’t is astonishing how when you wake up you can spot dangerous people [...]
Who are your favorite kind of people?I LOVE people who are positive, open-minded, optimistic, generally happy and who enjoy living and all that life has to offer. I like being around people who exude sincerity, kindness, and appreciation for others and who can handle being around people of diverse backgrounds. I like people who handle [...]
When I am discussing political issues with people, I just state my opinion and let them state theirs. if I find myself getting upset at what they are saying, I will tell them so and excuse myself from the conversation rather than go off on them. Like I’ll say I respect your right to your [...]
Johanna Orozco is a young woman who was raped and then shot in the face by a former abusive boyfriend. She is 18-years-old. She survived being shot but the lower half of her face is destroyed. The Plain Dealer has been doing a series of stories about this young woman and what happened to her, [...]
Ok so as everybody knows I am slow and behind the curve on most web stuff. I am just now understanding what people mean by ‘web 2.0′, how to make money blogging, and all the social media sites. So it will be no big surprise to you that I have just found out about personal [...]
When someone I want to know doesn’t return my emails or calls, I choose to believe they are just very busy right now or didn’t get to the voicemail or email. That is usually the case with myself so I tend to believe this is the case with others. Then when I see them out [...]
It seems like lately online and offline I have been running into folks whose mission in life is seemingly to complain, complain, complain. People who wallow, just wallow in unhappiness and self-inflicted misery. Nothing is ever right or good enough in their world and they whine about everything and do their best to pull everything [...]
The method that worked best for me in changing how I interact with people was to emulate the people that I liked to be around. I also examined why I liked being around them. I found that I like being around people who exude happiness and self-contentment, people who have interesting thoughts and ideas, people [...]
Who do you most admire in life and why?My maternal grandmother experienced a lot of unhappiness in life but she truly enjoyed life and more than any other adult in my life showed me how to live in the moment; to be happy in the moment and not put off happiness until things are perfect. [...]
Pledge to myself:It is important to publish magazines and books of excellent quality, and to produce videos/DVDs of integrity and quality. In publishing work on my websites or in my magazines and books, I’ll look to gain and show understanding of the individuals and groups of mothers I cover to provide accurate, timely, and helpful [...]
It is hard for me to understand how/why I was in this sort of relationship. But when I was in an abusive relationship, I had a totally different spin on things. I can’t describe it other to say that it is like being brainwashed or hypnotized or something, like being in a cult, but if [...]
When you put ‘positivity enthusiast’ into google this site comes up #1!!! Yay! That makes me feel awesome, especially because I have just gotten started writing about positivity on this blog. That means I must have lots of positivity throughout this blog without even meaning to! Henceforth, ahem: Positivity enthusiast is a phrase coined by [...]

Here’s what I do: -Go hang out in a bookstore or library-Go to the art museum-Hang out in nature i.e go to the Lake (Erie), or a Metropark, or go walking/hiking-Rub a great-smelling lotion all over my body-Drink [...]

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake.
~Marie Beyon RayLife is a big canvas, throw all the paint on it you can
~Danny KayeTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things you did do. Throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
~Mark TwainFollow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.
~Joseph CampbellI'm sick of chasing my dreams man, I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.
