Human Nature
Whenever anything goes wrong in our life, we naturally seek an explanation. To not find some cause for why our plans went awry, or why we faced sudden resistance to our ideas, would be deeply disturbing to us and intensify our pain. But in looking for a cause, our minds tend to revolve around the same types of explanations: someone or some group sabotaged me, perhaps out of dislike; large antagonistic forces out there, such as the government or social conventions, hindered me; I received bad advice, or information was kept from me. Finally if worse comes to worst, it was all bad luck and unfortunate circumstances.

Take Nothing For Granted
Far too many of us seem to have this habit of taking things for granted. Taking people for granted. This is a lesson that I learned very early on to avoid and it has been firmly reinforced lately. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. There is no guarantee that things will be as they are today when tomorrow comes.

The Myths Behind Weight Loss
Lorraine Kearney: One of the most common misconceptions I hear from my clients is that they need to skip meals and starve themselves in order to lose weight. However, this is not true.

Diary of a Tired Christian
The bible says "they will run and not grow weary", but I have to admit that I have been feeling pretty weary these days. Especially with the events of the last 5 years, I'm downright exhausted. I feel that I have been running the race my whole life, trying to stick by God and hold onto His hand in the dark, while the enemy slings all kind of obstacles at me. Everything from childhood trauma, fighting through the conditioning of that childhood trauma in adulthood, more trauma, and on top of it all being unwelcome at multiple churches because I am queer. Yet I'm still here, beat up and all, but I am tired.

The Extinguished - Healing Unsettled
I've been tired so long, that at times it seems impossible to escape - this way of being, existing. Overwhelmed with the eternal to-do list of self-improvement. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of this 3D reality. There's always bills to be paid. Jobs to be worked. Money to be made. Trauma to finally heal through. Study to be done.
