I have a confession to make: I’m one of those people who sets unreasonable goals for myself and then get aggravated when I can’t reach them. Recently, I’ve been taking stock of myself to see what traits and habits I need to let go of – frivolous aspirations, negative thoughts, pass times that are really just ways to waste time. While I don’t seem to have many of those left, it’s good to do a review to make sure that I haven’t formed new bad habits.
However, I did make one discovery. When I asked myself if I was lacking in compassion, the answer was “yes – for myself”. I’ve eliminated several toxic ideas about myself but not all. I know from one of my last readings from Alura that there are a couple of shadow self issues I need to finish taking care of. It can be very overwhelming when a person has so many things they want to change about themselves, but it’s important to take one small step at a time. I have to keep reminding myself to not be in such a rush. If I hurry, I’ll make mistakes and miss out on the rest of life. And I certainly don’t want to do that!

Here’s a recent article in Spiritually Awkward Magazine – very timely, I thought. Remember to follow Alura’s work and feel free to leave your comments! -
For several years, I ran a Tumblr blog originally called “The Little Star Project”. Some time afterwards, I changed the name to “SuperlativeDeviation – the Blog”. The page was dedicated primarily to sharing the work and inspiration of my best friend and mentor Alura Cein, who also has a couple of blogs on Tumblr. However, circumstances (and the world) changed in those two years.
Late last year, I began earnestly disconnecting from all social media – effectively avoiding becoming a member of the Indoor Generation. This included, most recently, closing my accounts on Tumblr and Facebook and even recreating my own online literary platform, whiteravennet.wordpress.com . Still, I very much wanted to continue giving my friend the support and encouragement she needed. So I came up with the idea of recreating my Tumblr page as a WordPress site – a kind of fan page / personal blog that would be kept separate from The Whiteraven Net. This allows me to give my poetry and short stories their own space as I work towards completing my novels, but at the same time I have an area where I can share the joy of working with this amazing woman.
At long last, the new site is completed! Superlative Deviation will be a more personal space where I’ll share a few of my own experiences, as well as articles and links to Alura’s work and videos. Other content that I previously would post to social media will appear here, as well. Be sure to follow for frequent updates and surprises. It’s going to be an interesting ride!
