The Mind
Is consciousness different from the mind? Yes. The mind is an organ inside our body that helps us think and it has other jobs like telling you when you’re afraid sending signals to your nervous system. Consciousness is something else. Consciousness is beyond the mind. It is beyond thought.

Where Have My Dreams Gone?
It all started when I was a young girl. I've always wanted to portray the "pretty girl on screen." Whoever it was, white or black...I wanted to be...her. A far off, never reaching version of myself that only lives in my mind. At least that's what I'm realizing now. Dreaming about becoming an actress and promising people that they will see me on the big screen one day seemed to drive me. It seemed to give me a purpose, that I was going to be one of the biggest, most fabulous A list, award-winning actress and have all this money to spend, save, and use. My goal by 18/21 was to have my dream job as an actress, at 23 get married, then an 25 have kids and 27 work on television as I reach "retirement". Like WTF? I'm 26 right now and none of those things have come true yet. Matter fact, I currently still live with my parents and I still feel like I'm 24 or something. I've always wanted to live in the city and to think that because I dreamed it of living in some penthouse in Manhattan by my 20 somethings or because I pinned a photo of a gorgeous rich cliff hanging house on Pinterest that I was going to magically have it. What I realized about a year or two ago is that half of my dreams were just dreams. I had no action plan behind it. And all YOUR fantasies will remain fantasies unless you actually get up and physically and kinetically do something about it.

5 Lessons We Learned from Albert Einstein
Many of us remember and Albert Einstein as the scientist with crazy hair who developed the Theory of Relativity. However, his thinking and discussion went beyond physics. He was given several honorary degrees including Medicine and Philosophy. His knowledge didn't stop or start at physics. He was someone who was willing to sit with uncomfortable problems until they are solved.

Why You Should Love Yourself
Growing up, I learned many times over how hard life could be. I wouldn't even claim to have had an abnormally difficult upbringing. My birth being the result of a few mistakes, a bit too much alcohol and the decision to not get an abortion, I was never given the opportunity to have a full and healthy childhood or family, something that hangs over me to this day. I held it against my mother, and my father, and their mothers and fathers. I took issue with the world at large that had strained them in so many ways, and the systems of government that had failed to help them find a better place in life. It is very easy after all, to slump your shoulders, defeated by the hardships of life. To seek the origin of your burdens and complications, hoping to understand why you carry this weight that you do, and to choose anger and spite and sadness in the face of these things that have put you in the place you are in today.

I’m Invalid
My feelings don’t matter. Why do I feel this way? Others have it so much harder. So much more pain in life. What right do I have to feel bad over mine? I feel like a terrible person. I shouldn’t annoy others with my feelings. Why can’t I just get over it?

Meanderings of the mind
I awoke early, much earlier than usual. I lay in the darkness looking at the sliver of moon I could see through the crack in the dusty blinds. My mind tried to wander over the remnants of the dream I'd just been in. Feeling my heart begin to race, and my mind begin to wander, I smiled. Folded my hands on my chest and said hello to God, the Universe, the light and love. I don't want to play this game anymore. No more worry. No more yesterday, as today is a miracle all it's own.
