Bucket Lists: Step-by-Step Guide

The idea behind bucket lists is this: They’re all about finally doing what you want to do and getting away from what everyone else thinks you should be doing. I guess because I’ve always been self-employed, my various forms of work have always kind of fulfilled my bucket list. I’ve been fortunate in this way […]

Weeds

The day this picture was taken, I was on “Tar Beach,” or in other words, a New York City rooftop, on a 98 degree hot summer day. I was wilting. Yet, there was grass in the gutter that was thriving against all odds.     I’ve always been fascinated with weeds. They grow in the most […]

Let The Force Be With You

Everything in the material Universe holds the dual forces of attraction and repulsion. People magnetically draw fondness and sympathies as well as polar opposites such as animosity, aversion, distaste and repulsion. With magnetism, there is always some likeness in atomic structure that causes the effects of attraction, otherwise there is no attraction. For example, a […]

Funky Town

Everyone visits Funky Town at some point. I’m not talking about good times & Uptown Funk where Bruno Mars gets his groove on: I am talking about tough times when we really need to get ourselves out of the mental muck. For some, this is more prevalent around the holidays, so maybe this is a […]

Bucking Up

It takes lots of courage to do what you want. Whether its something as simple as getting a new haircut or changing to a new job or moving. Sometimes we don’t make the moves we want because we’re too guilt-ridden. It’s easy to become too concerned about what others might think or if they’d approve […]

Rainy Days

When I’m having a good day, I want everyone to be in the same mood I’m in. Often, in day to day interactions, it bums me out when I’m feeling cheery and others around me are moping about whatever. Sometimes, it even makes me feel angry. I want everyone to be in the same mood […]

Reaction

The dictionary defines reaction as: 1) an action performed or a feeling experienced in response to a situation or event; 2) a persons ability to respond physically and mentally to external stimuli; 3) an adverse physiological response to a substance that has been breathed in, ingested or touched. Overall in daily life, I’d define most […]

Ordinary vs. Extraordinary

         Ordinary: Plain; undistinguished; of no special quality; common; average..          Extraordinary: beyond what is usual; strange; exceptional; noteworthy; phenomenal; amazing; curious; fantastic; marvelous; odd; outstanding; particular; rare; singular; special; surprising; terrific. The difference…only a little “extra”…that you’ve already got! Tell me all about your “extra”! Add your photo […]

Know Thyself

My mother embroidered and framed a picture that said, “Know Thyself.”  It was hanging in such a place that you couldn’t leave our house without seeing it. Truthfully, it was one of those daily reminders that sometimes really pissed me off, especially since it was also my mother’s answer to me whenever I blamed someone […]

Space Still Available

Stop Aging? I don’t think so. Wrong message. In fact, I’m here to boldly declare that this is not what I’m trying to do at all. Slow the biological impact of aging factors, yes. Stay as healthy as possible, yes. Stay metabolically and mentally strong, absolutely. Stop all the wisdom that accrues from daily experiences […]
