Know Your True Worth

Posted on 2023-01-01 by RB

There’s nothing wrong with sharing motivation, not only to try and get yourself on the right track, but it feels good when you’re able to motivate others. January 1st is the time when many of us set goals for the year. Maybe we want to lose weight, get in shape, learn a new language, finish…

Back from Hiatus

Posted on 2022-10-09 by RB

So, I took a few months off from blogging and social media to take time to recharge and refocus. I felt that I was burning out, both personally and creatively. I put myself into self-imposed social media exile – no Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram – and I stepped away from most of my creative activities….

Appreciating Silence [Creativity]

Posted on 2022-05-31 by RB

I sometimes forget how nice silence can be. Like most people, I live my life surrounded by noise. Streaming music (or radio, if you’re old school), television, traffic, airplanes overhead, the hum of electronics, people talking, dogs barking, phones pinging and beeping…it’s constant and never ending. There are times when I need a break from…

Embracing Change [Mental Health]

Posted on 2022-03-07 by RB

“The only constant in life is change.” – Heraclitus Change happens around us all the time, but it’s either so subtle we don’t notice it or so frequent that we stop noticing it. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not, but in both cases, we usually have no control over it. All we can do is…

Finding Serenity in Chaos [Mental Health]

Posted on 2022-02-09 by RB

Without a doubt, the world is a crazy place. Even taking politics and social unrest out of the equation, our lives can sometimes feel like they’re out of control and we’re simply hanging on by our fingertips. We’ve all felt like we’re being tossed about in a turbulent sea, but there are also times when…

Bidding Farewell to 2021

Posted on 2022-01-01 by RB

Wow, two weird years in a row. It feels like 2020 and 2021 sort of blended together, one being the continuation of the other. At least this year we had a vaccine to help differentiate it from its predecessor. Personally, it was a year of big change. There were some deaths in the family, new…

Initiating Change [Mental Health]

Posted on 2021-12-06 by RB

I’m a firm believer that we are all a result of our lives up to this point in time, and that regardless of our current situation, we’re all capable of change. What I mean is, everything we experience in our lives, the good and the bad, the positive and negative, has made us who we…

Adding Excellence to Your Day [Mental Health]

Posted on 2021-11-22 by RB

“What is the most excellent thing I can do today?” – Neil Peart It’s no secret that I am a fan of the late drummer, lyricist, and writer Neil Peart. The quote above is a question he would ask himself every morning when he awoke, and I’m incorporating it into my own daily routine. I’ve…

When You Can’t Write, Write [Creativity]

Posted on 2021-11-17 by RB

Everyone has off days. You know, those days when the brain goes on strike and you can’t come up with any good ideas. Words don’t want to cooperate. All we’re left with is staring at a blank screen in frustration. I don’t consider it writer’s block. That’s something that persists. What I’m referring to is…

Birthday Thoughts [Mental Health]

Posted on 2021-11-102021-11-10 by RB

So, I recently celebrated another birthday and the occasion got me thinking about myself and who I am at the moment. I consider myself a work in progress. I’ve always been of the mind that if there’s something I don’t like about myself, then I need to change it. Ask anyone who’s known me for…
