  • Connecting with Your Soul

    My main spiritual focus over the last several months has been consciously connecting with my Soul. You may think of your Soul as spirit guides, the Holy Spirit, your higher self, or any number of monikers.

  • Living Creatively

    As I’ve been listening to The Power of Now on loop in my car and reading Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within before bed, I’ve noticed that many of the ideas overlap. I’d like to share one of those ideas with you. This idea has, just in the last few days, brought great joy into my life. The…

  • The Type-Z Guide to Success – A Review

    This is a review of The Type-Z Guide to Success: A Lazy Person’s Manifesto for Wealth and Fulfillment, by Marc Allen. I’m by nature a somewhat…well, I can be lazy, at times.

  • Talk to Your Body for Easy Healing

    Our bodies, composed of more than 30 trillion individual cells, handle all of their complex functions on their own without our conscious intervention. Our bodies are geniuses, but usually our thoughts and beliefs hinder their ability to achieve and maintain perfect health. We think we need all kinds of medications. Unfortunately, these medications are generally designed to…

  • Four Hours of Sleep – Update #1

    This is the first update to this post, a week into an abbreviated four-hour sleep schedule. Due to the long 4th of July weekend, I only had a few nights to try to sleep only four hours since (for now) I’m not using the schedule on weekends when I’m out and about with friends, drinking, enjoying summertime activities.…

  • Four Hours of Sleep

    For the month of July, I’ll be attempting an amended sleep schedule of only four hours of sleep per night with an afternoon nap as needed. I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to do it, and as of now, the plan is only to use the schedule during the week and possibly sleep more…
