How to Become a Crone

According to http://www.thefreedictionary.com/crone. a crone is “an ugly, withered old woman; a hag.” My definition changed though when I read, “ Crones Don't Whine: Concentrated Wisdom for Juicy Women” by Jean Shinoda Bolen. She gives us thirteen ways that to re-look at the word crone. As I am now fifty, I long to be the crone that she described in her book and I have come up with my own list of ways to become a crone.

Ten Rock Songs About God

Musicians often have hell to pay for playing rock and roll. They shoulder the blame for being in cahoots with the devil, and for glorifying him with secret messages supposedly hidden in their songs. If a berserk kid goes on a shooting spree, rock music must surely have possessed his soul. If a killer mentions he likes a certain band, their lyrics must definitely have cast a murderous spell over him. Heck, if your lottery numbers don’t hit, why not blame that on the songs of a rock band too?

Giten on the Inner Man and Woman and Relationships

What are the inner man and woman? Our being consists of two energies: the male and female aspect. Irrespective of if we are a man or a woman, we have both a male and female side. Life develops through opposite poles and tendencies for example yes and no, joy and sorrow, light and darkness, positive and negative, day and night and life and death. Just as electricity needs both a negative and positive pole for a spark to arise, the human consciousness has also two poles. These two poles are the male and female side.

Satan’s Stop Signs – A Fun Bible Object Lesson for Your Kids

There’s a saying that goes “the devil made me do it.” I don’t think this is right or more importantly biblical. If we sin, we do it on our own. However, I think it would be correct to say, “the devil tried to make me not do it” – whatever “it” may be. 1 Thessalonians 2:18 says this: “Satan hindered us.” Your kids need to be aware of this enemy and his different ploys to try and get them off track. Here is a fun Bible object lesson to help teach this important truth. Here’s what you do:r

Can You Spare A Tire?

To the untrained mind, the roadblocks in our lives appear to be just that—obstacles to go around, petty annoyances that dampen our day. As we grow in awareness, we come to view these challenges as growth opportunities, little tests we've arranged to see how we're doing on our path to self-mastery. Often, as I approach another graduation in consciousness, I find myself facing a series of such tests that can feel like midterms and finals rolled into one.

Get Out of the Negativity Trap

Everyday there are over 60,000 thoughts running through our mind. The good news is that most of them are unconscious or we'd go crazy! The bad news is that yes, they are unconscious. Plus, most of them are the same thoughts we had yesterday, last week, or three months ago. But the even more unfortunate fact is that a good majority of these thoughts - conscious and unconscious - are negative put-downs directed at our own self. Have you ever caught yourself saying any of these statements?

Spiritual Healing, Dissolving Your Fears

All of us desire a more meaningful, peaceful, joyful and loving life. So why do we see the world filled with chaos, anxiety, and overall fear? We look around and perceive this person this to us and we perceive this event doing that to us, and we keep judging, judging, and judging until we think we feel better. But do we, really? If love conquers all fears then why are we not tapping into our inner love and light at each moment? Because we are on autopilot and the ego loves playing this game.

A Day In The Life Of LeBron James

Would you want to be LeBron James for a day? If they were really asked this question, most people would probably answer with a resounding, YES (and for more than a day). Having whatever you want whenever you want sounds pretty good to most people. Also, having people know who you are and respecting you for your abilities could also be something people like. However, looking at things from the outside might be very different than looking at it from the inside. WHAT, you might ask?

A Christian Perspective On "The Secret" And the Law Of Attraction

If you've heard of the best-selling book called "The Secret" you know it has become huge! The concept is, by using this "secret," which is The Law of Attraction, you can create ANYTHING you want in your life: more money, a bigger house, more business, a new mate, literally anything you want! While "The Secret" has many truths in it, it also has many flaws. For one thing I personally disagree with the notion that a person can have just ANYTHING. The reason is... because we were born with different strengths skills, talents, and abilities.

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child

It takes a village to raise a child. Ever think about what that might really mean or where the statement comes from? While there are some who say it originated in Africa, there is no clear proof. Like so many other common sense insights, it may have many origins; indigenes across time and continents very likely made similar observations long before the modern era. In 1996, Hilary Clinton released her book, It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us, her inspiration no doubt borrowed from the ancients.

There Is No Blame

The one thing we seem so eager to give but don't enjoy receiving is blame. We are a culture rich in blame yet poor in accountability and responsibility. Blame puts us in the neighborhood of victimhood, a place of no choices. It becomes the justification for forceful action. What if we could just release blame and accept accountability? What if we could move beyond blaming and be responsible adults? What would our workplaces look like? Our families? Our nation? More importantly, what would your interactions personally and professionally look like if you knew that there is no blame?
