So you’d like to set some goals, but you’re not sure where to start
While I am not sure right now about career paths and long term relationship dreams, I’ve found figuring out what you want to get out of life can help you decide to plan out bigger future goals. Little goals are like baby steps or building blocks. They help you work upwards.
Why I stopped giving a shit about my size
Just a little over a year ago something shifted in me, it was one of the first things I stopped giving a shit about whilst applying the philosophy of “fuck it“. Health is important to me, don’t get me wrong. I just really don’t care what size I am, I am SO over wishing I was smaller.
Ch-ch-changes: It’s okay to change your mind
There are certain times in your life when you think you have your shit all figured out. You make a decision and, not knowing how the future will mold and shape and affect you, you think that you’ll keep to that decision for the rest of your life. Newsflash: People and choices change. It happens.
Wands optional: intentional thinking and magic
For me, focus, intentional thinking, meditation, prayer, and mindfulness all translate to a clearer trajectory and more successful outcome for whatever task I’m grappling with. It’s helped my mental health, my goal-setting, and focus.
Why we should ask and answer more repetitive, annoying, offensive questions
I am Pagan, and I have always hated the repetitive, annoying, or offensive questions that occur every time I come out of the broom closet. Until a nativity scene changed my mind about those repetitive, annoying, and offensive questions.
Finding the value in being a part-time creative person
I now hold a very normal job. I work in the finance industry in the city, and I love it, but there always has been (and I suspect always will be) part of me that wonders if I should have done something more creative… Am I wasting potential talent? What if I’m withholding some grand work of literature from the world because I didn’t take that route?
Overcoming Imposter Syndrome as a polyamorous mom
Once upon a time, there was a woman. She lived in a polyamorous, sex-positive family. She liked people… just people in general. She thought they were beautiful, and loved to learn (and learned to love) the intricacies of their personalities. Physically, intellectually, emotionally — she saw their strengths and enjoyed them for what they were. But she couldn’t apply the same standards to herself.
There is a certain joy in ritual
While at face value, following a specific set of actions may seem difficult or complicated, the reason it works is because, in actuality, the rituals make life more simple. Simplicity during the times I feel most sensitive to worry is like a little gift to myself, the gift of certainty. There are so many times in a day that I worry about what’s next. When I know exactly what is going to happen next, I don’t worry about it. Reducing worry in my life is one of my major goals in my search for personal serenity.
