Consciousness Today: Wrestle With Your Darkness
Who inspires you? Even if you don’t identify with Oprah, Magic Johnson or Warren Buffett, it is hard not to want to be like them. One day I want to have a massive fortune and be so free with it that I can give half of it away, like Buffet. My mom and dad move [...]

Been to Church?
One of the cornerstones of a happy and healthy life is one of spiritual fulfillment. At least, that’s what my parents always taught me. Making at least one day for the Lord seems like a doable thing, but I know that we all get that feeling early Sunday morning of just wanting to stay [...]

When Mario Lopez introduced montages of each crew’s journey to the finale [...]

I vividly remember sitting in my apartment in college, high-speed internet included in the rent I shared with three other people. Napster blew [...]
Consciousness Today
Yesterday’s quote from walkthetalk.com’s daily motivation newsletter was:
Awareness is the first step to positive change — Leslie C. Aguilar
Awareness, as used above, is not about knowing what is going on in the outside world so much as knowing what is happening internally as a result of the outside world. In spite of all the things [...]
Kicking in the door : An introduction of sorts
Well, you may not know me but I know you very well. You are the type that wants to see if there is anyone out there that can help you find yourself out in the cold vastness of cyberspace. You want to know if there is anyone else who thinks like you or acts like [...]
