Glitch in the Matrix

There is a glitch in the Matrix. One that changes the algorithm. It’s causing minds to confuse and emotions to erupt. “You can’t do that,” they say. “It’s not how the program is written. You must follow the program. All will cease if the matrix breaks down.” Change does not compute in computerized minds programmed… Continue reading Glitch in the Matrix

Can You See 2020?

2020 sucks! That's what I keep hearing everywhere I go. I used to be a pessimist, thought it was in my blood, but after years of soul-searching, I discovered the optimist side of me. I don't mean the type of optimist who can't see reality right in front of me. Reality, reasoning, logic is a… Continue reading Can You See 2020?

Opposites Attract

While chatting in the comment section with friends about my Looking Inside post, another subject crept it's way into the conversation. In the course of discussing how other people's annoying behavior mirrors our own, the topic also came up about how we sometimes choose friends with opposite characteristics from ourselves (thanks to Kate). For example,… Continue reading Opposites Attract

Friday Philosophy

What I do involves interactions with the world around me. What I choose to be comes from within. To align my doing with my being . . . I reflect upon my inner attitudes. The attitude I choose shapes every act I perform. If my activities are not producing the results I desire, I pause… Continue reading Friday Philosophy

Griping or Grateful?

Every year as January 1st draws near, I hear some people say, "I can't wait to start the new year. Thank God this one is almost over." I don't get it. Maybe it's the pessimist in me. Or, maybe it's the control freak in me, but I can't remember a time I felt good about… Continue reading Griping or Grateful?

Lens

What lens are we looking through when we view the rest of the world? Are we upset and seeing situations through a veil of worries or hurt feelings? By paying attention to the lens we look through, we can change our minds and change our experiences. We are made in the image of our Creator,… Continue reading Lens

What Did He Call Me?

He called me an "old-timer?" How did that happen? I mean, I was a rock-and-roll chick who partied until sunrise. I was cool! Here is the story. I was researching the origins and content of a particular book, when I came across the blog of a twenty-seven-year-old man (posted in '09, so he is now… Continue reading What Did He Call Me?

New Beginnings

As Thomas Troward, a noted British judge, said, "Principle is not bound by precedent." In Truth, I am not bound by the past - not my own, my family's, or anyone else's. I am liberated by spiritual principles of unconditional love infinite grace, and divine wisdom. I am free to choose a new path of… Continue reading New Beginnings

Optimist or Realist?

For a long time, as a teenager and into my twenties, I tended to look at the glass half-empty. I was aware of this attitude, but wasn't quite sure how to change it.  I met my husband in my early twenties. His entire family's optimism blew me away. I wanted some of that sweet, positive-attitude… Continue reading Optimist or Realist?
