Change your mindset, change your life, and manifest the shit out of your life just because you can!

While I'm healing from oral surgery, I've been watching the shows that I used to watch when I was a child. I've watched The Andy Griffith Show, My Three Sons, The Flying Nun, and Gidget so far. It's refreshing to see wholesome TV where there's no violence or subterfuge or people acting poorly. It's fun and funny and the people are charming. They are being helpful and acting like I wish people still did on TV. Heck, I wish that people focused on acting this way for real. I miss TV programming like this. It reinforces positive thoughts and actions, and it's a great example of how we should act in life. I think that they should start creating programs like these again. We should insist on it and stop watching the horrible shows that have replaced these kinds of shows. Considering what is considered entertaining and is common viewing fare these days, it's no wonder that sooooooo many people have anxiety. We should have programs that teach our kids to behave kindly and in a positive manner. Shows that set a good example. I feel happier from watching these shows. I'm gonna watch them more for sure. It's great to see people acting nicely and being kind to each other. TV should have a social responsibility to reinforce these ideals, not the violent, selfish, manipulative garbage that is prominent in programming today. The only somewhat violent show that I watched today is Bugs Bunny. He's so charming that he can get away with it, in my opinion 😁 thankfully, there's nothing graphic in those cartoons. I am enjoying TV more today than I have in a long, long time. 😊😍🙏🏼

A Call for Help from Gaza

My name is Donia Hassouna, and I’m a 23-year-old translator from northern Gaza. Today, I’m reaching out to share the devastating situation my family faces. For the past nine months, we have endured relentless hardships, including being displaced eight times due to the ongoing conflict.

We have lost our home and all our possessions, living in constant fear and uncertainty. Each day is a battle to find basic necessities while maintaining some semblance of hope. My brother, who has suffered a serious head injury, needs urgent medical care that we cannot afford.

The costs for his surgery abroad are overwhelming, and without your support, I fear for his life. Please consider donating to our campaign. Your generosity can make a real difference in our lives during this dark time.

Why should we let fear keep us quiet given the knowledge that we are, without doubt, the majority? Look at the UK and France. The majority of humans there have made the choice to embrace ideals of love rather than hate. We the people will do the same, starting now. Drop the fear of harm for speaking out, the alternative is worse. The key is to be selective.

For example, my neighborhood is not a place where I feel safe speaking openly, so I won’t put my focus there. Instead I will pick more neutral ground and use my intuition to read people who might be receptive. The math is in our favor. Choose your battles wisely and watch your ass.

The crassness and cruelty of some online social interactions have left us all looking around every corner for the boogeyman, like terrified children. Don’t get me wrong, there are some messed up people out there, but our fears are oversized. There are so many more “real” people around us, plenty to build community and common understanding through personal interactions.

The positive energy will expand exponentially with every conversation, I promise. We have the collective power to change the narrative in our country. I know it’s scary but we’ve got to try.

I'M ANGRY.

Unlearning years of conditioning when it comes to communication skills, relationship repair skills, views on sex and purity culture, emotional regulation or rather lack of it. It's no damn joke.

So, yes, I'm angry, so angry that I have hot tears streaming down my face and my heart aches for how things could have been different.

BUT, IM THANKFUL.

I get to do the work, I get to relearn behaviors and handle my emotions effectively, I get to build better relationships than those I've had in the past.

So, although my heart breaks, from those cracks and crevices colorful flowers bloom and slowly fill in the gaps. One day, i believe my heart will be whole again adorned by love and joy.

Restoration = Re-story-ation

What a beautiful idea, that the restoration of anything — your peace of mind, for example, or the vitality of our Earth — depends upon learning how to tell ourselves new stories.

Opinion: Change the Narrative

Music-related panel events and conferences always light that fire within me. I thank those organising panel events for that. Recently I attended an event offering helpful insights, and I think these were very much worth sharing.

Not many music-related panel events nor conferences truly give me much hope about bridging the gap between those in offices, and those on the ground, yet they do always light that fire within me. I thank those organising panel events, although most of them being organised with the sole purpose of receiving funding in mind, for that. One of the last panel events I attended did give me some…
