Five Original Articles by… Me!

If you're new here, you may want to get free updates via email or RSS. Thanks for visiting!

Karen from Live the Power hit me up to take part in a group writing project, passed to her by Rick Cockrum of Shards of Consciousness, and to him by Liz Strauss of Successful Blog.

The Challenge: Share Five Posts from Your Past Writing

The Question: Would you change what you’ve said?

To answer the question first: no - I wouldn’t change the basic ideas behind what I’ve written. I may have written them better (like Rick said), or been more consistent, but I don’t think there’s anything that I would say “My view on that has completely changed.” I can only think of one post that I kinda sorta regret making, but I really don’t like deleting them once they are published, so it’s stayed, with updates.

When it comes to the posts that I’d like to share, a comment that was left by Jean of Transforming Stress to Personal Power got me thinking. Jean asked:

Would you be willing to tell me what changes you are making in your life and what tools you are using?

So a little review is probably in order… her question dovetails nicely with this particular meme.

Here are my five posts:

The Secret (May 1, 2006)

This was my first post after watching the original version of The Secret - the version with Esther Hicks. I still haven’t seen the extended edition. This is where I really started to get interested in something I’d known about for a long time, but wasn’t using to my advantage - the Law of Attraction.

Jesus and Earl (May 24, 2006)

In this post, I really started to get the whole “Do Unto Others” thing. It’s not tit-for-tat: when we do for others, we already are doing for ourselves. I should probably also fix the dead links in that article, since it references an old blog of mine that’s no longer around.

Antidepressants (December 15, 2006)

This one was a post where wrote about my decision to go back on an antidepressant medication. I remember being pretty torn up about this, but I now know that it was probably one of the best decisions I could have made. I know there’s a lot of controversy around this kind of medication, but I’m not really interested in that. I use what works for me.

The Spiritual Atheist (February 27, 2007)

A write up of my thoughts on god, religion, and spirituality.

It’s Between You and God (June 21, 2007)

More of Mother Teresa’s words than my own, but here I did a little exploring about just who I have to answer to in my own life.

  1. Excellent selections, Lyman.

    I just finished reading an article in Time magazine about Mother Teresa. It was fascinating reading in that her personal letters showed that she felt cut off from God for her entire life after starting her life work.

  2. Rick - that is fascinating. I wonder why that would be? I guess a lesson to take from that would be that she, well… did it anyway.
