Originally posted on Use Your Damn Skills:
Recovery is very often about grieving— which is confusing sometimes, because often we’re not quite sure what we are or should be grieving.? Many of us think about “grief” primarily in the context of losing a person or a pet who was in our lives.? Most people have…

How to Receive Your Predestined Moment

I can never say it enough, listen to your intuition, trust your gut, be in tune with your spirit and look for signs. They are always there, we often miss them because we are not consciously aware or not living in the moment. I recently heard a sermon regarding moments.

The Awakening is In The Suffering

Week 1 is down in the books or should I say my calendar for my media detox. I’ve learned so much that I feel as if my head is going to explode. I’ve been reading a lot.

Religious People Killed Jesus
