Motown – America’s Most Beautiful Offering

Playa’s Tricks
Broadcast and print media are acting like the playa who pretends to be your lover: dropping one provocation after another, making you doubt your sanity, ignoring what you communicated through your words and choices — with the aim to wear you down or to react impulsively, against your best interests. Reactionary choices are not whatContinue reading “Playa’s Tricks”

Layers Upon Layers Of Loving Wisdom
in this approach: “Nobody needs to be run by their relationship with the internet. Be clear on your boundaries. How you value life on and off the net. Live according to your own values.

It takes a small adjustment on your part. But this choice determines how you feel about life. It also ensures that you pay attention to what youContinue reading “Appreciate Good People”
Environmental Affirmation
Surround yourself with the symbols of the feelings you want to feel. What you surround yourself with and the objects you place in strategic spots stimulate feelings and can be potent reminders of how you want to feel, as you go through your day. Although the power is not in “the stuff” itself, your subconsciousContinue reading “Environmental Affirmation”
Offer Freshness
When you are offering freshness, you are offering love. Freshness is more than novelty. Novelty distracts and can jar. Freshness centres and restores. Love is the force that motivates you to provide freshness, to become freshness, to be a place of freshness for all your loved ones. Without freshness, love remains unrealized and feels incomplete.Continue reading “Offer Freshness”
Disconnect From Aversion. Connect with Inspiration.
The obsession with The Bad Guy kills, or warps, solution-oriented thinking. You can notice that in politics, in private life, in the way society or a community organizes itself… and in all the glorious ways a person lets go of self-sabotage and starts living. The more energy you spend on a destructive personality who willContinue reading “Disconnect From Aversion. Connect with Inspiration.”
There is Life After Bruises, Haphazard Choices, Being a Victim, Chaos and Tears
I learned something pretty interesting this week, when I listened to an interview where Tina Turner presented her autobiography.

More Than Verbal Goodness
Being able to put into words what you do is a great skill, because processes that are communicated can be replicated. But not everything great can be put into words successfully. Because not everything great comes from the mind, even though the mind can observe it as remarkable. Love is one of those things whereContinue reading “More Than Verbal Goodness”
