Emotions are a cascading force—fluidly they move through us, their flow is constant. Sometimes they bring turbulence, and other times they bring calmness and tranquility.
When our emotions slow down this is where we can discover serenity.
Serenity is the balance to the chaos that surrounds us. When we are able to experience serenity, true serenity, we are able to experience a mind that is clear and connected to your heart. Serenity allows us the ability to be present within the moment.
EDITOR’S NOTE: There WILL be some service interruption over the next few weeks as these are major holiday weeks. I have tried my best to build these posts within a traditional “24-hr day” however my “days” aren’t always the same length as a traditional “day.” I have been successful in producing these posts within the scope of my own day, and it’s under that guideline I am going to continue striving for.

12-23-18 When peace is achieved we’re no longer concerned with “what’s next.” This sense of freedom and relief is a difficult concept to grasp without ever having felt it. Through its power, we’re able to elevate our spirits, and our intentions; opening our hearts and...
12-22-18 Dissolve Me by Alt J ( ∆)
12-22-18 It’s hard to disassociate the opening lyrics to Alt-J's Dissolve Me, from anything aside of a drug connotation. “Now dissolve me, two tabs on your tongue…” With this being the only real reference to any illicit activity I think it’s more related to the...
