Goal Ideas To Try
We all have goals we want to achieve, right? I know I do! For you to want to achieve those goals, you should start off by creating a plan. Maybe try doing a 30-day challenge and documenting your progress. It is okay to just start one monthly goal and then gradually do more.

Wick or Fuse
The inspiration for this narrative comes from a very unusual source – a dream. It was not your typical run-of-the-mill dream where you assemble fragments to remember it. No, this was a vivid dream ̶ if in fact a dream at all: Patsy Ramsey, the now-deceased mother of Jon Benet, a six-year-old murdered in her Boulder home on Christmas day 1996, had visited me. I never met Mrs. Ramsey. Like many others, I knew her only through news reports, photographs, and reading the Ramsey story. I remember at the time wondering what had happened to the talented and beautiful little girl whose whole life was ahead of her. I also remember that the police did not seem remotely interested in any other suspects than her parents. Instead, they fed the media, whose job in turn was to convince the public that the Ramseys were guilty. Years later, many still try to justify their rush to judgment by maintaining the Ramseys’ guilt. It is how we soothe our conscience – rather than admit we are wrong. In an astonishing, almost unprecedented move, in 2008, two years after Patsy Ramsey died from cancer ̶ and possibly a broken heart ̶ the Boulder District Attorney sent John Ramsey a letter exonerating his family. Apparently, new DNA evidence had ruled out the family and implicated an unknown person.

"Love yourself"
"You have to love yourself before you can love someone else". If I had a dollar, or piece of cake for every time I heard this sentence I would either be rich or OD'ing on cake and although I DO agree with this statement I want to address the other side of this where some intense pain exists.

A tale of healing and hope
Our gifts often find us in interesting situations, and sometimes it gets hard to determine where the lines get drawn in the sand. I faced such a case one night when my daughter spiked a high fever, and I found myself terrified that something was going to happen to her. I immediately called the healer that I had been working with while bracing myself for the ultimate trip to the emergency room.

Read This When You Feel Lonely And Forgotten About.
Being human is such an incredibly strange experience. We often find ourselves feeling lonely, isolated, and cut off from others, even though at the exact same time we withdraw more and more from social situations. We crave our solitude and time alone, while simultaneously wishing that people cared about us more or showed us how much we mean to them. We wish that they would check up on us and show that they want to hang out and spend time with us, but push them away and close ourselves off when they do. Sometimes it feels like to be human is to be caught in a constant double bind.

Celebrate Being Single
Didn't get any Valentine's gifts or messages yesterday, huh? The hopes you held that someone whom you really admire, or that hope of a gorgeous looking mystery person who secretly admires you from a distance, or that hope that the partner who recently left you, yet whom you are still deeply in love with, any of these would've possibly used yesterday as the perfect opportunity to offer you their heart, sweep you off your feet, guide you into a wonderful relationship, and help you rediscover love once again, all completely dashed. Here you are, yet again, on a Monday morning, feeling sad, lonely, rejected, unloved, and depressed, having had to endure another Valentine's Day without a loving, dedicated, caring, faithful, and supportive, partner by your side. All you want is to be loved by that one special person, to rediscover that warm and reassuring feeling of being touched, kissed, and cuddled. You look around and see all your friends with partners, all these other people on social media sharing their pictures of themselves and their partner kissing, enjoying eachother's company, and having all sorts of great fun together. Life and love are just completely unjust and unfair, hey? To be loved, appreciated, treasured, supported, and truly cared for, is one of the best feelings we could ever experience in life, I can't deny that. When in a relationship, knowing that someone is there by our side, accepting us for who we are, faults, blemishes, bad habits, and all, it's pretty special. Even just that feeling of someone pressing their tender lips up against ours, kissing us with pure love in their heart, or even just that warm embrace of a hug, it's magical. For some of us, we just cannot handle the thought of not being in a relationship, we just have to experience those feelings I mention above, and we just simply have to have that special someone by our side.
