A Dark Cloud

Reading Time: 4 minutes Dark clouds come and go. Some clouds visit for a short time, while others overstay their welcome, eventually they leave. Next time a cloud comes to visit, don’t push it away or ignore it. Get curious and allow yourself to feel the emotion the cloud brings with it. And as you feel the emotion be compassionate with yourself and remember it’s an emotion. An emotion that you can experience and learn from. No matter how you’re feeling, don’t let it take control you have the upper hand and make it known.

My boyfriend’s best friend just started dating a woman who openly calls herself a swinger – It makes me nervous

Spiritual Skills to Master That Go Way Beyond “Love and Light”

Reading Time: 4 minutes If you want to experience spirituality on a more meaningful level, stop looking away – and stop staring. Make a practice of looking at everyone, especially anyone who is different than you. Study people to find the things you have in common and the things that make them human.

Reading Time: 4 minutes Frequent dwelling on the past—even on positive memories—can actually accelerate the aging process!

Now, when I say ‘positive memories,’ I’m not talking about occasionally sharing some nostalgia with loved ones while viewing photos of a treasured vacation. I mean a regular and excessive habit of looking back on times when it seemed like things were better than they are now.

Yep—accelerates the aging process.
