What do those three things have to do with each other? It’s what I’m calling the “Do Loop.” I put it together this way to show how our thoughts and actions – and the energy behind them – ultimately create our reality. The “Do” Loop Since starting this blog, I’ve been struggling with how to

I make life mean so many things that are complete nonsense.

There’s no belief system to adopt or idea to conjure in the mind. Intellectually, you can read these words and understand their meaning, but reading

Let’s talk about the universal language — love.  Play with me for a second. Take a minute to find the emotion of love. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel what love feels like.  For me, it’s warmth that starts in my heart and spreads throughout my whole body. The feeling materializes as
