AI Picks Brains

A couple of weeks ago I posted about my blog stats going up by hundreds per day. Welp, one commenter hit the nail on the head. It's AI hitting all different areas of the internet so it can learn. Kinda creepy, no? I've used the expression, "Can I pick your brain?" before, but never dreamed…

Outcast from Modern Society

Can you tell what this picture is below?Many, many years ago when I first started this site, I wrote a few posts about why I'm a freak. That above picture is why. It's the white snow on our roof against that stark blue sky, and I love it. There are so many reasons why I…

How They React

"You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies." - Charlie Kirk  

Everything You Think You Know

"People say they want the truth. But the moment it doesn't look like what they already believe, they throw stones. They joke. They diagnose you. They walk away like they're the sane ones." ~ B @QuantumTumbler ~ Boone Cutler

Abandoning the Book

I can't believe it's been eleven years since I wrote the blog post I'm about to share. Over the years, it seems the issue has gotten even worse. I'd really appreciate comments on this topic. With peoples' faces buried in phone screens, reading a book is not trendy. It's old fashioned. Why imagine something from…

The Route

"The route to self-love and healing is never-ending, and it demands regular attention. There will be moments of doubt and disappointments, but each stride forward demonstrates your will and tenacity. Celebrate these modest achievements, and remember that you are worthy of all the love and happiness the world has to offer." - Unknown

Emotional Maturity

Emotional maturity is when you feel your emotions fully until they're processed—without letting them control your actions. Emotional immaturity is when you avoid them and let them control you unconsciously. ~ @theralkia (Normal Guy) I've written a lot on the topic of emotions and/or feelings. The above quote so simply summed up my writings. Intuition…

Inevitable vs Optional

Sometimes I Withdraw Because of This

"I feel things before they happen. I know things I wish I didn’t. I sense shifts in people they don't even notice in themselves yet. And half the time? I gotta act like I don’t. It’s lonely.  It’s exhausting. It’s walking into rooms and hearing energy scream louder than voices. It’s carrying truths people aren't…

No Reasonable Explanation

I'm going to share something that happened in my household. No biggie, just really bizarre and strange. My husband and I tried to come up with a reasonable explanation as to how this happened, but nothing makes sense.Several months ago, I lost an item. We'll call it, Item K. It's only about five or six…

Lies

A lie is best accepted by the public when it is mixed with a tiny bit of truth.

Inherent Wisdom

Intuition vs. Emotion

Fun Bubble

I wonder if they’re paying attention The ones living in a fun bubble Do they see what’s really going on Are they ready to see the trouble It’s difficult to take at first But they’ll be okay Once they know the truth We can all start a new day I pray all is revealed it’s…

Hidden Treasure

What’s life without the truth? Simply living like a naïve youth? Is it like being saved? Or being enslaved? What if you didn’t know, everything in life was just a show? What if you learned it was all a lie? Would you continue to comply? Would it cause you alarm? Would you feel you’ve been…

Reborn

"If you believe that God, life, or the Universe is punishing you, or if you believe that your pain or suffering is anyone else's responsibility, then you are choosing to live as a victim. Victims give their power away. They do not learn their lessons. They do not forgive themselves or others. They do not…

Energies of Life

Music, poetry, running water, flowers, wind through trees, open vistas--all touch and draw out their counterpart that lives quietly within us. So, when feeling stuck or disconnected from the miracle of life, . . . try to listen, see, feel, and just take in. Try to let the energies of life stir their counterparts within…

The Journey of an Errand

My husband and I went to Walgreens to buy a specific item. What we were buying is not important for this journey. The item seemed like it was displayed incorrectly, as it came in an elongated shipping box. However, it was the only one they had and we needed it. We asked a passing-by employee…

Dumbed Down

Okay, I'm just going to come out and say it. I've watched some of the dumbest movies on Netflix lately. As a fiction author, I'm starting to get really frustrated with this type of thing. So few are reading books nowadays, and instead, their watching mindless streaming movies. Streaming series are an entirely different subject.…

Crescent Moon

My favorite symbol is a crescent moon and star. You can tell by my earrings. (I only photographed one of each pair). Unfortunately, I missed seeing the alignment of the planets in the sky last week. We had a busy weekend working on house projects, so we didn't get outdoors much during the day either.…

Being Indirect

Nothing in nature is indirect. Only humans say one thing and mean another. Only we go one way and wish we were somewhere else. ~ Mark Nepo Isn't the above quote interesting? I wanted to write more thoughts on this, but it speaks for itself. So I thought I'd ask some questions and hope for…
