Meme Dreams...my overarching creation.
One imagines that an original thought that creates a good vibration, spreads...
I am the one! And you are, in your own lives. We are connected. All of us. All the humans and other animals, the plants, stones, oceans, atmosphere, stars and those black holes.
The possibilities for sharing, and sharing on purpose are mind boggling!
Especially at this point in history when all knowledge we have so far is available to each of us-potentially.
And the future-omg! Netizens...
So what vision can we have for our lives?
What can we create-from practical reality to big dreams?
From how we make our living, how we can enjoy our friends and family, how we enliven our health and well-being, how we love ourselves, to how we can make a difference to the world around us, the planet we live on….
Our ability to find great ideas, and share them with the people around us has always been there. And now we have the ability to connect on as big a scale as we can dream up, through social media and the web….
We can share the best ideas, the most useful, the funniest, the most impactful- and spread them on purpose to create the lives that we want to live!
In the end, the biggest impact that we can have is the difference that is made to our own lives. Each of us.
So, let’s get to it, eh?
Meme Dreams pages are on the move once again. What's here now is "Mischief", a journal of mood and music as I make my way through a grief journey. Missing loved ones. Especially G.
I love ya.
I wanna get down...

In psychology, there are two popular conceptions of happiness: hedonic and eudaimonic.
Hedonic happiness is achieved through experiences of pleasure and enjoyment,
while eudaimonic happiness is achieved through experiences of meaning and purpose.
That's a little simplified :) but a useful distinction.
Not pursuing happiness as in waiting, creating it as in now.
Talisman stories...
A greeting card with this quote, found early, followed me through the years. Chosen as a guiding principle. Lifelong...
For me, there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length - and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.
Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Jaun: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge
Oh ya? You've done that? Well...kind of. In a relaxed kind of traverse. That counts?
