Year of the blog: Day #12 - Find your peace.

January 14th, 2018

Day #12

Find your peace, even when the world around you is raging like a storm of chaos. Find your peace. Become the pillar of calm in the sea of chaos.

I was told there was a balance to this life as if there was a way to control our existence and everything that happens in it. I can tell you for certain, this is untrue.

There is only the wind and the ocean. Sometimes we are the waves, viciously crashing on the shoreline with no control where the wind will take us. Other times we are the wind, in control of how and where we move the ocean. Life is about finding a sense of peace in it all and working with that peace to create a positive change.

Sometimes, you need to reflect and step back. What in this world gives you breath? I find oxygen in conversations that help people grow. I find oxygen in art where one's honest creativity is shown. I find oxygen in people who strive to leave this place better than we found it.

Maybe, in a twisted way, that is peace.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog! I have decided to make a personal blog site. This means that every blog that is posted here will be authentic to me. All thoughts and opinions are my own unless otherwise said. Some posts will be strongly opinionated. Others may cause some discomfort. I write in order to cause YOU to think. I want you to question what I post. I want you to think, feel and have an opinion. I have been very busy in the writing scene. I am currently working on two novels. One is a collaborative novel and the other is my novel that I've been working on since November 2014. My solo novel will be released January 2017 for public viewing and purchase. The profits from sales will be donated to different organizations/families each month. I will keep you posted on more novel information as it becomes available. Also, I've been a reviewer for local shows and performances. I am excited to share those with you! Reviews will be posted on here within the wee

It's okay to not be okay.

This hasn’t been the easiest of posts for me to write. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted more words than I’ve written and I’m still not sure if what I’m trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you’ve been in my shoes, hopefully you’ll understand. As a person who has lost many family and friends, I should be a natural at this. I’ve been preparing myself for the emotional rollercoaster, I read blogs on grieving, books, gravitate toward my 'safe places' such as Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars and of course, writing. Losing someone you care about isn't easy. But I didn’t expect it to be this hard either. I’m glad that at this point in time, society has been speaking more openly about mental health. I’m thankful that there are resources available for them when they need the help. I’m grateful for the awareness that is out there now amongst peers and teachers and others in authority. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to those who are around my fa

Good people, good energy.

Being around good people with good energy is priority. We have this hero complex where we think we're always the exception to the rule. We're not addicted to our phones, it is everyone else. The age of pointing fingers. We don't get influenced by advertising, that is everyone else. We are too smart, "woke", or whatever word we want to use to decorate our delusions. A large one is assuming we can influence others, without them influencing us. We have great chemistry, horrible chemistry, and everything in between with people, but it is chemistry none the less, and no one walks away the same after we cross paths. There's no shortage of people who need support, we all do, but some of us haven't taken the very crucial first step: helping ourselves. When you have good energy, you'll attract other good energy, but you'll also attract energy that's toxic. Everyone is worth helping, and even absorbing some of that toxic ener
