One of my biggest obstacles over the last several years, regarding creativity has been the lack of passion to create. I've wanted to, even felt driven to at times. Even when I sit down to write, I often feel like I'm doing "by rote." It's a job, and it's been devastating to not be able … Continue reading Passions Combined

The Value of Friendship
Many of us will remember as children being told what to, and what not to talk about with others. Many times, I remember being yelled at by my mother for talking about, what to me, seemed like a small incident or occurrence in the house. What made it worse for me, is that somehow the … Continue reading The Value of Friendship
When We Want a Different Answer…

Emotional Manipulation of the Masses

We can talk about, we can state that it happens, but how often do we … Continue reading Emotional Manipulation of the Masses
Seeing the Illusion to Create Paradise
Every day I see headlines in the news, and I wonder how much of it is true. I see so many people who have been brainwashed into believing a particular viewpoint based on what may very well be a lie. The illusion has been so well built into our system, that even when we are … Continue reading Seeing the Illusion to Create Paradise
