Quote of The Week

“Consider that you radiate. At all times. Consider that what you’re feeling right now is rippling outward into a field of is-ness that anyone can dip their oar into. You are felt. You are heard. You are seen. If you were not here, the world would be different. Because of your presence, the universe is expanding.”

Danielle LaPorte

Where Am I Going?

Lately, I've been feeling sort of aimless, like I'm drifting through my day to day activities, mindlessly.
Like I've lost that spark, that fire that makes people reach for their guitar or their sketchpad; I no longer have something that I'm "good at".
People are good at things, whether it be baking, or taking apart a bike, or painting. There's a certain activity that makes one feel good, to feel whole, and I've lost that.
Walking the halls of HAC, I see all this beautiful artwork, all this flowing creativity, and I feel like theres a wall in my mind between my creativity, and myself now.
I want to get back to doing what makes me feel good, something that makes me tick, something that puts the fire back in my belly.
I want to create, I want to become a God of fine jewelry or of short stories so intense that grown men weep.
I want to feel at home within myself once more, and I think the first step is reigniting my "pilot light" so to speak
I need to get out there, and find myself and my passion

Pimp My Blog

I've had the idea for an inspirational blog for some time, and adding links to the page wasn't very hard.
I chose the background because it's subtle, and calming, but also very upbeat and positive; we can all visualize our struggles, fears, ect. as a huge mountain looming over us, yet it is one we must overcome, and eventually one will discover the beauty in our fears.
Because I've used blogger before, I was familiar with setup and style, so customizing the font wasn't hard at all.
Also, adding the slideshow on the top to filter in some positive, calming pictures brings the page together nicely.
By offering a list of my favorite links, it promotes not only my blog but others as well.
The medias attention towards positivity and good body image is on the rise which is such a good thing; together we all can raise awareness and our own personal vibrations

Rechoosing Yourself

I believe that we are our own Universe; we are the masters of all we see, feel, and smell. As light, sentient beings, we must embrace our powers in order to fully achieve happiness and complete unity of the soul and mind.
By choosing to stay on a path of fear, anger, and depression, you become scared, depressed and angry; your choices, conscious and unconscious, greatly affect your outlook and your perception.
By choosing to be accepting, positive, and warm you will soon notice yourself embodying these ideals.This switch in paradigm is very difficult, because for many people they've been stuck in the same mindset for too long, so the change may seem impossible.
But once you've broken free from your negative shackles, one may begin to dance in the light of happiness
"We do not have the ability to imagine ourselves as something we cannot become"

Vulnerability

This video is one of the Ted Talks, a medium for great minds of our nation to come together and voice their opinions, and what they've learned whilst on their life journey.
This talk is about vulnerability, and how as humans, in order to a whole, happy, functioning human being, we must accept our flaws and be open with one another, despite our fears and misconceptions.
I find this video to be very motivational and educational and I encourage you all to watch it
