It was called positive thinking decades ago. Now it’s called visualization or manifestation. Many teach that we can manifest whatever we want in our lives, wealth, health, fame, it’s all limitless. Life is but a dream and if we can become lucid in the dream, we set. Oprah has said it for years. It’s worked […]

Day 1328- Why Do Mediums Charge So Much?
It’s a fair question to ask why mediums charge when they’re serving Spirit. Shouldn’t spiritual work be free? Hint: if you attend church, ask your pastor. The mediums I’m aware of charge anywhere from $0-1,600 an hour. Maybe some charge more. I used to do work for a guy who charges $800-$1,275 per hour depending […]
Day 1321- Why We Need Black History Month
I stay away from political topics on this blog even though I find it very difficult, to separate politics from faith from spirituality. For me, your faith or spirituality should have sway over your politics. And, politics are how we collectively exercise our values. Given that disclaimer, this post isn’t exactly political. But, it’s a […]
Day 1319- Freddie Johnson- Bourbon and Life
I was watching a documentary about bourbon “Neat“. I recommend it. As of the time I’m writing this, it’s on Hulu. You can also pay to watch it on Amazon Prime. It’s part, history, part science, part industry analysis. It’s beautifully shot in my second home state of Kentucky. Featured in the documentary is a […]

Day 1314- Proof of Life
Cynics ask for “proof” of an afterlife. Anyone who has spent any amount of time doing serious research knows there is an abundance of evidence. There is certainly enough evidence to meet the legal hurdle of “beyond a reasonable doubt”. If you’ve known me for any length of time, you have probably heard me talk about […]
Day 1307- Rollercoasters
This image has been in my mind since I first saw it a few days ago. Memes sometimes perfectly capture a profound message with just an image and a caption. This one, in less than dozen words, a single grainy image conveys a universal feeling, or damn close to one anyway. We all feel overwhelmed […]
Day 1287- Do Not Muzzle An Ox
Do not muzzle an ox while it is threshing grain is one of those obscure Bible references that I remember from my fundamentalist Christian days. It is one that I certainly did not think would ever be relevant in my life. But, it’s been coming up as I am doing this work and working with […]
Day 1286- Goodbye 2018
Today is the last day of the year. In our culture, we make certain days more significant than others. We set expectations for these 24 hour periods like they are special. In reality, each of them is exactly like any other day of the year. Ironically, what they have in common is that they are each […]
Day 1280- Moving Out of Disappointment City
It’s Christmas Day. It’s the fourth Christmas since Shayna passed. I dread Christmas now. Being an adult at Christmas time was only stressful before the girls came along. Then, it had the magic again for several years as we bought for them, watched their eyes light up when they saw their presents, the wonder on […]
