We might start by defining what gratitude is. Gratitude is feeling (and maybe also showing) appreciation and thankfulness for whatever it is that we receive or happens to us. Looking at some dictionary definitions, I also notice that gratitude involves wanting to reciprocate what someone has done for us, though I’m not quite sure of…
On Creating Abundance
I am currently reading Creating Money, by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. I am reading it because I recently read The Rich Witch by Joanna de Voe and also devoured everything that she has to say about money and abundance, and after reading her post on Creating Money and the quotes she shares from the…
What do you do with your pain?
Each person experiencies pain or hurt in a different way. What we collectively know as pain is one of the most subjective things there are. I sometimes think that we came up with this word to have some common ground, something to talk about or share, so that others could try to “understand” what we…
On Carrying Other People’s Burdens
I found this image and I thought it was perfect for what I wanted to write about today. Seeing it made me really sad, animal labour deeply hurts me. But it also made me sad because of what it represents for us people as a symbol: carrying other people’s problems on our backs. To start,…
On facing ourselves
Some days ago the government in my country announced a proposal for how we are to go about when we return to “normal” life. Notice that I say “proposal”, I don’t even think it has been approved yet, and since then thousands of people have decided they should go out to the streets. Oh yeah,…
Ten Tiny Changes
Today I finish the second week of The Artist’s Way. Yes, I know it’s been a week of like 16 days, but there you go. I decided I’d rather be flexible and do it than be strict about it and abandon it. It’s been hard, too, because in the meantime I have been reading and…

How to Set Boundaries
Boundaries and freedom can coexist, don’t think that they are opposites. You must not feel that if you set boundaries you will find yourself trapped and unable to go out and see the world. You might also find that setting boundaries or limits will make you very unpopular with people who are used to abusing…
How to Welcome the New
Adventure. Isn’t that an exciting word? Wouldn’t we all want a little bit more of it in our lives? Wouldn’t we want to invite it to be present in our histories? Adventure is just another word for change. Adventure is ever present, and we cannot escape it, although some times we might want to. Let’s…
The Four Queens on Mother’s Day
So today’s Mothers’ Day. I wanted to commemorate this day by talking about how we can mother ourselves and how we can use the Tarot Four Queens to achieve this. The Archetype of the Mother is a very important figure in everyone’s life. It might mean different things to all of us, but I think…
