Thanks, Giving and Helping Here in the states it’s Thanksgiving. The time of year between the fun, commercial Halloween and my favorite but over commercialized Christmas holiday. It is often all but forgotten in recent years except for a day off, a meal and football. The name says it all, Thanks giving. I believe it’s super important to give thanks for our blessings, not just at this one time of year. This is a good time to start though. First,…
Several years ago, I heard this story on the radio. I never heard who wrote it and this isn’t the exact story. However, I believe it’s one worth telling, and I’ve added a few things to it. There will be a few short comments after it. Hope you get half as much from it as I have. Long ago, there was an aging King. He had only one son whom he knew was vain and narcissistic. He would not be…
Years before having unicorns become my thing, I knew two little dinosaur girls. They watched the usual kid movies at the time. Somewhere along the line it became the Jurassic Park movies. They loved ’em! Would walk around like dinosaurs hunting. A friend recently sent me a picture of a tattoo of a unicorn and t-rex hugging. I thought of them then. Then I saw a video of a brother and sister acting like dinosaurs on a dinosaur themed water…
I started this blog hoping to help myself and hopefully others, be their best self. That means I have to become my best self. Some of us spend hours of our day on platforms only wanting to see the “perfect lives” others have. It makes us dream of that life, we compare ourselves to them and inside scream why not me. Maybe, we go, I’m going to do that too. I’m going to be a YouTube or Instagram or TikTok…
Here I am slinging words again. Sorry, no witty banter today. Straight to the musings. And the software will tell me it’s too long for good readability. Well to hell with that, it’s my forum. Don’t like it, miss out on a gem. Sometimes we all need a little encouragement. What kind of encouragement though? Honestly, the best kind, as a friend pointed out is encouraging each other to be ourselves. Actually, to quote her, “Encouraging someone to be entirely…
Today I was sitting and thinking. For once the guy with a unicorn on a stick looking out the window of his truck wasn’t over-thinking. I realized just how often when working on a project, crafting jewelry, writing a book, a song, many things, that I continuously seek someone’s opinion before finishing. I often totally change things based on those opinions. Yes, seeking opinions is often helpful. Too often I’ve let opinions stop me dead in my tracks. I have…
Now before ya roll your eyes and go ohhhh shit! Not this today! I promise, it won’t be as bad as you’re thinking! Yep, a guy who will ride a unicorn on a stick, while wearing ranger panties and a Santa hat in a snowstorm while doing a traffic report is about to lay down some profound thought. Hahahaha Yes, I’m broken, and yes, though I often feel like I’m not enough and empty inside, I am enough, and so…
Forward on I go On the path so many say Is the lesser traveled And for fools No longer do I try To trod two paths at one time Stepping full onto the safer When I fear there may be pain Instead, I trod down the riskier one Pain and happiness are both rewards Along this trail I see who I can and will become Is that you I see On this same path Shall we rejoice That we are…
Her pictures show one beauty But not the one that’s best For within her lies the real treasure Trying to be hidden by her past She wishes the outside “perfect” Even now she knows her doubts Not much longer will she feel this Unneeded unholy doubt This simple bard doth know Aphrodite and Cleopatra Of her beauty would surely jealous be As do I surely know It is her inner strength and beauty That was the real hook for me…
Lights Like lives intertwined Beautiful alone Inspiring together Reaching thru Space and time Sometimes splitting Other times reuniting Some always connecting Some forever alone Time ceases while viewing These endless dances In the heavens and on earth
