    All is Perfect

    Yeah, so I kinda had one of these moments today. PSHHHHHHHHhhhwwwaaaaaaaaa! My brain broke loose, and expanded, and when it did, the constant tension I hold in my neck and head let go, and washed away.

    Rumbles & Ripples: What We Create Within, Affects Without

    All too often, anymore these days, the situation that is presented in front of me is a complete dichotomy: yin and yang.

    Whenever an acquaintance of mine discovers that I have a chronic illness, they always react with shock, “You’re always in pain?  You don’t act like it!” Maybe I was born with a positive attitude.  Maybe you were, or you weren’t.  Either way, I believe it is possible to train your mind to react positively to…
