On these types of days, I must take time out for gratitude. I am thankful for my license. I can drive to the coffee shop and get a coffee. I get to listen to the kids working and laughing about some dumb kid things, lol. I have clean water and clothes. I am not locked up or being tortured. I can read, write, see, walk, talk, touch, feel, taste, and experience life today. I know the sun is shining so bright behind the clouds. Thank you, sun ☀️ Now, onward…. I like cake. I like to have my cake...

Consistency Crew You’re probably wondering, “Why am I getting these newsletters every day?” 😂 How do we reach big goals? One of the key ingredients is being consistent about taking inspired action. I’m consistent with some things — and totally inconsistent with others. That’s kind of how most humans operate, right? To get somewhere new, we have to break out of our current patterns. Right now, I’m in the pattern of being good — good with myself, good with life. By “good,” I mean balanced,...

I’ve been an IT Engineer my entire adult life. Servers, programming, cybersecurity—you name it. I spent years in the trenches analyzing, troubleshooting, and architecting my way through life. When my world fell apart in 2020, I had the chance to rethink everything. When life as you know it completely disintegrates, it can also be an invitation to start over. Of course, at the time, I wasn’t exactly celebrating like, “Oh wow, everything’s destroyed—yay, I get to rebuild, woo hoo!” But you get...

Beautiful Friday Everyone :) I know that when I have a solid goal and clear steps to get there, I can stay the course. I can commit, show up, and push through until I reach it—no matter what. A timeline isn’t always necessary, but when I have one, it makes the path even easier. Right now, though, this space I’m in feels floaty. No real set tasks. No concrete finish line. I study books, watch videos, and learn from people who live the life I aspire to. They’ve given me plenty of “roads to the...

I've been feeling kind of meh and grrr at the same time here and there lately, so here I am sharing the prescription I gave myself. It is important to wake up each day with a grateful heart. Why? Because the mind loves to want, compare, and spin. But we are the masters of the mind (well… we’re working on it, right? lol). We have the will to change our thoughts. This is our God-given right, and it’s what makes us the greatest species so far on this planet. So what is God’s will for us?...

I swear to God, I am a new person every day I wake up. Through the healing work I do and the mindset shifts I’m constantly practicing, I wake up to a new model of myself each day. On the days when I really notice, it feels like I've been climbing a mountain and looking down after reaching 80% of the climb. I’m at 8,200 feet and can barely see the ground—my past self. I just pause and shed a couple of tears because of the progress I’ve made. From that scared and wounded person bulldozing...

What Does My Soul Want to Tell Me Today? There are no limits. If you perceive limits, it’s because you’ve created them for yourself. The most successful and even notorious people eventually realized this. They let go of limits, tore them down, or discovered they weren’t real in the first place. They followed their intuition. Once you see that no true limits exist outside of the mind, you step into a different reality. Compared to the general population, it’s almost superhuman. Life itself...

I am so confused right now. I am bombarded on all sides by noise both inside and out. I can’t think straight. I don’t know what step to take. Analysis paralysis has set in. I am frozen in fear. What if what I do doesn’t work out? What if my labor is in vain? What if this is all meaningless? What is the point anyways? I grab for solace in drink, drug, human interaction, entertainment—anything to occupy my attention so I don’t have to deal with what is stirring underneath. What do I have to...

Hi Reader, I few years ago, I bought a little notebook and started bringing it EVERYWHERE I went. I didn’t have a plan. I was just sick of being in my head. Thoughts swirling around, over and over and over. It was exhausting. At the beginning I wrote a lot about my heartache, anger, and grief. I did write some positive things as well. When I put the pen to paper, something shifted. I wrote down my thoughts, and they got out of my head. And that brought a sense of peace. It didn’t matter if I...
