Manifesting

Earth is the element most closely associated with manifesting. Manifesting could also be called creating, or fulfilling your goals. When you want something in your life, whether it is a material thing such as a house or a new iPod, or perhaps a love relationship, or your Master’s degree, or something more abstract such as […]

Inspired Business

A couple of years ago, BlackLion and I decided we wanted to start a business. We named it Feline Dreamers, put up a simple website, and brainstormed a bunch of ideas. We got started on some of them, but then life interfered. My yearbook quote in high school was “Life is what happens when you’re […]

Reflection and Rediscovery

I’ve been going back through some of my old journals, looking for inspiring quotes. BlackLion and I are going to start a weekly Feline Dreamers e-zine (a newsletter sent via e-mail) and we plan to include a quote in each issue. We now have over eleven pages of quotes typed up, and the file continues […]

Why I Don’t Like Chess

I don’t usually talk that much. I’m more of a listener, an observer. But I do think about things quite a bit. And when I’ve thought things through for a while, particularly if it’s a topic that has piqued my interest, anomalies I’ve noticed, or an area where my personal philosophy seems to differ from […]

Raven Can

I wanted to share a collage that BlackLion and I made as a gift for a friend’s birthday. The piece is titled “Raven Can.” BlackLion drew the picture, and then we created a collage from it together, using colors cut from magazines and catalogues. I was pleased with how it came out. It looked nice […]

Moderation

“Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.” – Cicero“Moderation in all things.” – Terence “It is better to rise from life as from a banquet – neither thirsty nor drunken.” – Aristotle As the result of a couple of recent conversations, I’ve been thinking about moderation. One conversation was about food, and […]
