The Think, Feel, Act Cycle – A Deep Dive on Thoughts

Presence
We spend so much of our time wanting to be somewhere else and absent from where we are right now. So many of our thoughts are either in the past, mulling over what has happened, regretting or trying to re-write the past. Or, our thoughts are focused on the future worrying about stuff still to happen and meeting our troubles halfway. We are missing out on the gift of the present.
Help! The Internet says that I’m a controlling woman.
OK. So yesterday I ran face-first into an ugly truth about myself. Truthfully, I was actually guided to the realisation by someone close to me and I thank them for it. I hope. Well. Yes.

My 20 for 2020
Yesterday I finally completed writing my 20 for 2020. This is a list of things I want to do in 2020 but they are not a list of goals as such. The 20 for 2020 list is a list of activities aside from my goals that I want to get done during the year ahead.
My ‘Word’ for 2020
As I sat down to write this I was thinking about what my word for 2020 was going to be, and by the time I had written, ‘Thinking about my word for 2020,’ it had come to me. Of course, it is going to be ‘vision,’ and I don’t think I’m going to be a

Chasing Heaven
There was once a beautiful and slightly righteous angel living in Heaven. He was very gifted and amazing in just about every way but he struggled a bit with compassion and empathy. He simply couldn’t understand why some humans found it so hard to do the right thing and follow the rules.
