How I Got To Where I Am Now

I decided this morning that I would have a super productive day today. I didn’t really have much planned. In fact, I forgot my headphones at home so that means that I can’t study/learn French. So that has gone out the window… but I am looking at this slip up as an opportunity. I am [...]

The Inspiring Steve Pavlina

For a few months now I’ve had a bit of… stirring deep inside. I can feel something trying to make it’s way up to the surface. Some kind of knowledge. A hunch. I feel it. But what is it, exactly? Lately I’ve stumbled onto www.StevePavlina.com. I thought I was pretty liberal in my ideas. I [...]

Listening to the Little Voice

Lately I’ve been getting a bunch of positive energy/idea/thoughts coming in to me. I feel good. I feel like I can do anything right now. What is important to me? I haven’t really been giving this much thought, it sort of just came to me. I’ve been trying really hard to actually listen to what [...]

I’m Going To Die Someday

Lately I’ve felt like I’ve been on the verge of something. Every day that passes I am becoming more and more aware of my mortality. I will die someday. It could be at any time. I could be dead in a few hours. What would I have to show for it? What would I have [...]

Beingness vs Expectations

I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to the idea that life is… and I’ve lost it again. I had a conversation with my father a few days ago. Somehow we stumbled onto the topic of honesty – on being an honest person and having that not get you anywhere. He told me to [...]

A Few Years of Transformation

It is very interesting to realize how much I’ve changed throughout the years. I feel like I’ve opened my eyes and mind to such extreme depths that I would never have imagined before. Last night Katrina and I were laying on the living room floor discussing how we would go about time traveling back to [...]

Daily Goals

A place to start. Here’s a rough outline. In time it will refine itself. Yoga in the AM and PM. Start at 10 minutes and increase each week. Walk Charlie in the AM and PM for at least 10 minutes every day, increase time each week. Watch at least 1 raw food video, more if [...]

I’m Getting Tired of This

I did it again. On our way to the library last night, we stopped by Sonic and bought a couple of burgers. Why? Strong stomach pains, heartburn and plain ungood feelings. WHY?! Tonight the parents are coming over for a raw dinner and I am so very happy about that. I am really looking forward [...]

My Vision of a Perfect Being…

Listens to powerful, motivating, inspirational music filled with passion. Eats only healthful foods that come directly from the earth – raw, fresh and living. Enjoys nature and is outdoors as much as possible to smell the flowers and bathe in the sun. Runs, skips, jumps and climbs all over the playground that is Earth. Creates [...]

Don’t Work Too Hard!

Short story!: It’s nearing the end of the work day. My coworker gets up from her seat, packs her things and starts towards the door. She looks back at me, smiles and says, “Have a good weekend! Don’t work too hard, OK?” then walks out the door. I’ve always wondered about this particular saying. “Don’t [...]
