Another blog linked to my Switching from Raw Vegan Diet to the Paleolithic Diet post, so I went there to see who it was and thank them.
I came across the following comment, which referred to that post, and I was taken aback. I was hurt by this person’s comment, because it was like I had [...]

That’s right. Monday I drove to the restaurant, handed my apron to the banquet manager and said, “I’m throwing in the towel.” Her response? “Okay.” That was it. No exit interview, no follow-up call by the general manager. (I understand they go through a lot of help there.)
The last time I worked was Sunday night. [...]

When I was selling books in Oregon and learning about manifestation, I decided I wanted to become rich. So I worked at trying to allow the universe to increase my sales and my income by selling more books.
However, I hated the book business, hated packing books, hated listing them, hated the whole thing. Just sick [...]

In the thread about Shane’s death, many have posted how they knew him, met with him, spoke with him, liked him, respected his knowledge and appreciated his generosity. We don’t know why he [...]

I’ve been having trouble getting a decent night’s sleep since moving to PA. My neighbors seem rather whacked to me. Two days ago we had a heavy snowstorm, and my neighbor’s kids across the street cleared the snow with their gas-powered snow blower–at 11:15 p.m.! They worked for about an hour. A couple times I [...]

You know what I’m talking about. You need only one more staple and you’re [...]

What are you going to do this year? Are you going to make it a magical year? Or just another year? Another year older. More of the same.
You could begin designing your life and materializing your dreams. Or you could just keep doing what you’ve been doing.
This year you could get to know yourself better [...]

I once played tennis with a man who berated himself after every missed or faulty hit. “You idiot!” “Stupid, stupid, stupid.” “How could you miss that?” “Dummy!” What was supposed to be a game of fun was an exercise in self-condemnation. He wasn’t even aware of it; it was a conditioned response, perhaps taught to [...]

As I lay in bed last night unable to fall asleep, I thought about the things I would have to do today. I have the distasteful task of writing a letter to my book vendors informing them that my corporation is insolvent and is now closed, and that they would receive no more money. I [...]

I did something yesterday I haven’t done in a long time: I relaxed and did nothing.
Around ten o’clock yesterday morning I laid in the sun for half an hour to produce melanin and vitamin D. Several of my cats joined me but the sun was too hot, so they settled in the shade. It was [...]
