Let the Earth Molest You Meditation

Eyes closed. Don’t read these words. Feel them. Feel them with an orgasmic rainbow of love.

Breathe in love. It is a pink hue. Breathe in life. It is green. Breathe out fear. Fear is ugly.

Raise your energy by moaning.  Uhhhhh!

Radiate this feeling of love in the space within your center. Give life to the Earth to let it live.

Feel it. Experience it. Become aware of it.

It’s all around you. Stay in tune. Care for it, love it, e...

Understanding Gemstones and Powerful Juju

(Excerpt from Juju for the New You)

The basics of using gemstones in lucky charms or magically infused artifacts are quite simple; however, their effectiveness can be increased when considering the numerous stone associations.

When using any of these stones, you may wish to consider the moon and rising signs. It is sometimes crucial to do that because inanimate objects are often affected by the moon’s location and where the ...

The Glorious Chronicles of Juju

We are the universe. The universe is us. There is no distinction we can make between the universe and “I.” Those two things are the same. 

Think of it this way: the universe must contain within it everything that exists. We exist; therefore, we must be a part of the universe. And since we live, the universe is comprised of us. 

It is in this light — both literal and figurative — that we seek our power. According to the great...

Happiness and Frustration in the Written Word

Highs and Lows

We’ve all experienced it.  Those amazing moments when the right words flow from our minds to our fingers.  The keyboard clacks.  Words, sentences, and paragraphs pour out in tango canyengue.  You think to yourself, “Wow, did I just write that?”

But then those other moments.  Every written word is a struggle.  Every sentence bland.  Every paragraph a painful canker sore.  It’s not necessarily writer’s block, just off moments where piecing things together isn’t as easy as it shou...

Building an Alexa Skill

What Have I Done?

I have taken on a challenge.  Although part of a larger, marketing challenge, this is really a logic and programming challenge.  I am building an Alexa Skill.  It is Twisted Fairy Tales: Alexa Edition.

For those of you not familiar with my book, Twisted Fairy Tales, a while back I wrote a collection of stories based on old fairy tales that are very crude.  The stories are immature, dirty, filled with drug references that I think are hilarious.  And while it is the most embar...

New Year, New Projects

Taking a Break?

To the internet eye, it probably looks like I’ve been on hiatus for the last several months.  In the world of social media and blog posting, that is certainly true.  My pause from the online world shouldn’t be mistaken from a pause in the real world, though!  Since October, I have thought about the new year and what new projects to take on.

Last year, I spent some time testing out an app for book promotions.  Let me tell you something – that is an uphill battle that I am not w...

You may have heard the name Ray Kurzweil before.  If you haven’t, that’s okay – but you have probably used some kind of technology that he has created.  Kurzweil has played a critical role in developing the CCD flatbed scanner, the first text to speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer that can recreate the sounds of a grand piano, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition system.  To name...
