It seemed like it took for ever for me to learn to 8-3-3-9-9-8 (text.) No wonder many states make it illegal to text while driving (see earlier post.) I heard a report that the safety council had suggested that data had been misinterpreted which suggested that car crashes had gone UP in states where texting [...]

Driving and texting
Posted in education, law of attraction, meditation, teaching, tagged aspirations, centered living, education, expectation, hope, positive thinking on March 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’m glad in a way that texting while driving is illegal in my area. Personally I cannot do it. If I were to hold my cell phone out to my right and try to steer with my left hand I would quickly drift to the right and off the shoulder of the road. The reverse is [...]
I think, therefore I am what I think…

Ok, so it’s not what Descartes had in mind, but it’s still a fun notion to jostle around. Most minds that are drawn to this kind of writing at least entertain the possibility that our thoughts create our reality, and at the very least create who we are within that reality. Centuries before Descartes, Solomon had stated “As [...]
When you want to throw something…
Posted in meditation, personal interactions, tagged focus, happiness, meditaiton, patience, positive thinking, success on November 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We’ve all been there–wanting to throw something, I mean. Throwing something that breaks or smashes with a good deal of noise is pretty satisfying. Frustration builds, our inability to deal or cope builds, and something has to give. Or does it? A tantrum never fixes anything. It almost never makes you feel better, even though [...]
Stepping stones

All of us have seen stepping-stones at one time or another. Sometimes they’re just decorative, other times they provide a real service. You usually see them where someone wants to provide access down a path without the intrusion of an out and out sidewalk. A while back I came up with a list of spiritual [...]
When Jesus rides shotgun

“When he had said these things many turned away from following him.” I kind of feel that way. Some will read these words and think this is all nonsense. Others will get the point and receive some benefit from it. Either way here goes: When I need to talk something out, I sometimes pretend Jesus is [...]
Built to last
Posted in education, meditation, personal interactions, spirituality, teaching, tagged built to last, happiness, positive thinking on October 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
While the word last usually means the thing at the very end, it can also mean that which endures. The phrase “built to last,” however, has an alternate meaning. A “last” is a metal or wooden form which shoes are built onto. It is the same shape and size of whatever kind of shoe you [...]
Vibrational threshing
Posted in education, law of attraction, meditation, teaching, tagged feel good, happiness, law of attraction on October 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I believe in the physics which describes our experience in our present time-space reality. I believe that at the smallest level we know of, each of us is an incredibly complex entity made up of simple, quantum vibrations. I further believe the writers who tout the idea that we are always sending thoughts, emitting vibrations, and receiving in return [...]
Ghosts

I’ll admit it: I’m a little afraid of ghosts. It doesn’t matter how illogical the whole issue is, the left-overs from my childhood would still have me believe in them. Ghost movies where some whispy spectre flashes onto and off of the movie or TV screen still give me goose bumps. There are now TV shows [...]
Elbow room

An ancient prophet thanked his creator with the words “You have taken my feet out of the straits and placed me in a wide place.” In my mind I imagine being lifted out of the narrow streets of some ancient town, full of poverty, disease, and want, to be placed in a vast, wide, green field on [...]
