EPISODE XXXIV: THE HARD THINGS

This week I discuss how hard it is to do the right thing especially when most of humanity has been conditioned to do the wrong things.  It's so easy to be judgmental, angry, mean, eat animals, and much much more.  But what if we take the necessary step to do the hard work and reverse the curse.  Also Kristyn Jones and Kathryn Hilger from Awake Oneness Tribe join me to discuss the Veggie Fest coming up in Joliet, IL on April 13. MUSIC FROM THIS WEEK PEOPLE ARE STRANGE - The Doors PLAY DESTROY - Poppy featuring Grimes IT'S A HARD LIFE - QUEEN OUT FROM THE DEEP - Enigma TOGETHER NILLIONARE - Alesso v Axwell & Ingrosso LES FLEUR - Minnie Riperton

THE GRATITUDE CHRONICLES: SHAME SHAME

 

So I am late writing this again. I feel bad about it. I wish I could have done it sooner. There are no excuses. I hold myself to the fire on this as I should have gotten it done on Wednesday, the day I have committed to getting it done. However there are reasons.

Reasons are excuses, but do they have to be? If we have the best intentions to do something and we fall short for certain reasons, do we have to beat ourselves up so much? (read more)

EPISODE XXXVIII: CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING

 

Human connection is one of the most important needs we have.  Whether it be just a pleasant exchange with a friendly stranger or spending time with the ones we love, it's essential to have that contact with each other physically and mentally.  I speak to how connection helps all of us make the tough days easier.

THE GRATITUDE CHRONICLES: PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

In the past, I used to take great pleasure of being the ultimate antagonist. I would engage in arguments about pointless things. Whether it be sports teams, professional wrestling, or politics, I would get myself all worked up trying to argue with people, or get my rocks off eliciting reactions from people. As a matter of fact, I used to play a character that would thrive off of that. Especially higher up people. You know government officials, cable commissioners, parents, etc etc. (Read more)

THE GRATITUDE CHRONICLES: LIFE BLOCK

 I am truly sorry I didn't get this done on Wednesday. I have been so good about writing these things on Wednesday, but this week has been a tough one. First I didn't even know what I wanted to write about. What great wisdom could I impart on the small amount of people who read this. Then I realized it's not just writer's block I was suffering from, I was in the middle of a life block as well.(read more)

EPISODE XXXVI: HEALING HEARTBREAK
