Others’ Opinions & Perceptions
Monday morning, the 12 th of January 2026, and my belly is full of oatmeal, my morning smoothie, and the red raspberry tea I’m sipping on as I write this entry. My morning exercise put my body on autopilot and I swam in the Day-Dream. I felt an immersion of ideas and perceptions that reconciled in a simple knowing and direction for me and my journey in 2026. I realized how Others’ Opinions Ruin Life. Think about your favorite song. You love it. You vibe with it. You’re

PSI, Sylvia, & Food!
Yesterday, my mother’s birthday who-is-up-in-heaven, was day full of delicious food, Sylvia Browne, and PSI. The day started off with a bowl of oatmeal and fruit…my favorite breakfast! I decided to not make my daily-breakfast-smoothie, but I crafted that morning potion today to drink as I write this entry. I was off from my day-job so I was inspired to pull my favorite Sylvia Browne book off of my bookshelf to read as I took a break from “How Not To Die”. I wrote about

Hello, 2026! Word of the Year: Revolution
Another year, another entry detailing the hopes, wishes, and desires for the course of the next twelve months. I'm brewing my afternoon cup of coffee as I'm nourishing a happy belly full of some delicious avocado + tomato toast! The creamy texture and juicy bites help me to combat my body's desire to suck on a metal nipple aka nicotine vape. Its been 4 Days 16 Hours 18 Minutes and 9 Seconds since I quite nicotine/vaping/smoking. I guess I got ahead of any New Years' Resolutio

Updates & Holiday Season 2025
12/26/25 At the keyboard, smell of a clean-mopped-floor wafts around me, and my laundry is swirlilng around the washing machine as the Muse inspired me to write a blog entry. It has been a while since this occurred! Weekly Newsletter Messages get posted to my blog so I do have time once a week to exercise my writing (no AI-lame-chat-gee-pee-tee here! Use of AI to write sickens me and saddens me). The Day after Christmas 2025. I hope you had some enjoyment throughout your Ho

December 4th’s Long Island Medium Theatre Event. A Night of Spirit!
December 5 th , 20 days until Christmas 2025, and I’m bundled up at my desk ready to write a new blog entry as I battle the winds-of-upcoming-winter! I haven’t sat down to write a new blog entry in a while. The Muse hasn’t Inspired me to write anything other than my weekly newsletter…but Inspiration’s lightning bolt struck! Last night, I went to see the Theresa Caputo show in Huntington, NY. My love, my dad’s fiancé, and myself all traveled an hour west to a village where

The Great Uniter
In a world where everything is supercharged with emotion, beliefs, and reaction-olympics...a world that is incredibly polarized...neighbors, friends, and family members pinned against one another...there is something that unites us all. Death is The Great Uniter. What a great statement and I wish that I could recall the person who originally coined that phrase. What unites us all? What do we all face eventually in this journey of Life? What is an aspect of our experience we a

OP:HEALTHBOD Progress! Day 168
Today is day 168 of OP:HEALTHBOD! I can't believe it. The Inspiration for OP:HEALTHBOD came after my April 2025 trip to Disney/Universal which started with removing dairy from my life then translated into plant-based living. Eat a primarily whole foods plant-based diet is very easy for me since I was plant-based from 2017 to 2021. The fact that my toes no longer burn after a meal, my body feels light, there's very minimal inflammation in my body, and I enjoy the taste of plan
