Many a moon ago, I made a choice to turn my attention to the Light. Not that my heart wasn't always inherently goodness overflowing with virtue, but the shadow was still a part of the mind that was continuing to solicit for attention, and so back then, the conflict between Light and shadow was ongoing. I strived to keep my attention on what was good and right, what was lovely and charming, and also strived to keep my awareness on what was real and what was but masquerading as the Light.
I did things that were as constructive as possible, keeping my attention focused on that which was toward the Light, and away from things that were negative and pulled my attention away from the Light that pulled me down, as well as things that led to negative, depressing thoughts.
In so doing, I discovered computer games. These wonderful things were cute (mostly) and they were called "casual" games. Back then, "casual" meant constructive G-rated audience type games. Match 3 with hearts, stars, green clovers and blue diamonds. Like Lucky Charms!
But then casual starting taking on an edge of mystery and a fun halloween-gone-wrong.
I noticed it when I began playing a fairy game, and the storybook had frightful scenes and characters in it. It had disgusted me so that I wrote to the game host and complained: How am I supposed to enjoy something fun when there is something hideous lurking in the storyline?
They requested I send images of the story book to them, and I did. They responded in agreement that the images were quite dark and they would look further into the issue.
I never heard from them again.
To this day, I do not engage in those games. That is the biggest reason why I started EC Game Reviews. I wanted to make sure others like me (sensetive) as well as our youth was not falling prey to these awful "games."
This is not a game anymore. This is the shadow coming out and trying to grab the attention of those who unknowingly give their Light away to them! Without even knowing it, they just turn their attention to it and the shadow usurps the energy, and keeps taking it until it leaves you empty.
There is a way out of this, and I'm here to stand up for it! Here comes EC Game Reviews to the rescue! Yes me and my shimmering, glittery cape flowing in the wind will save all from the game shadow!
At least, that was my intention many a moon ago.
Fast forward to now, many a moon later, and my attention is ALL THE WAY ON THE LIGHT. So there have a been a few changes.
RE-DEFINING WHAT I "WANT" TO WHAT I DESIRE.
1) My desire for helping facilitate a change in others' perspectives on how they see the world, from one of conflict to peace and love
2)Is now a desire for multi-faceted ways of doing this; reaching as many as I can
3) Smoothing the streamline of technology in doing so
HUH? What did I just say?
oh and let's add
4) Making it completely available. Free. As in, not a trial version. No catches. No in-app purchasing. Nope. Nada. Zilch.
Really? Yah! Why?
WHY NOT?
5) I have always been amazed by how so many giving hearts can be successful, it is because they MAKE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE. REACHABLE. CONNECTABLE. RELATIONABLE.
HUH? What did I just say, again?
I find myself speaking in a different way; I feel passionate about what I do.
What do I do anyway? I love to design graphics. I love to use them on my website and blog(s). I love to write (that might be obvious ;). I love to see others happy and thriving with joy in their Lives - fully satisfied with what they are doing. Completely happy and content.
But there is a step between doing what you love and then getting to that point where you are happy and content and feeling accomplished about what you do. It's called: THE JOURNEY
The Journey consists of doing things that keep you happy and balanced along the way. Games, I believe, are a part of that. Movies. Music. Entertainment, so to speak, is a big part of that. In fact, it is a whole industry, when it comes down to it, that influences our choices and what we place our attention on every day. If you really think about it, we are ALWAYS choosing between Light and shadow.
The article on COLORS really struck a chord in me today. I have been aware of the quality of colors for awhile now, and have also received a tidbit of wisdom from a certain Archangel on this subject too. (No not Michael.)
So now, there is an opening. I see a window through that opening. That window leads to an outdoor patio which overlooks the mountains of beautiful green rolling hills with abundant wildflowers in springtime. This is where I'm dancing in freedom.
Yes, that's what I want. But how do I get that when I want EVERYONE to feel that way first? Perhaps I've taken on a whale-of-a-challenge, but I do actually SEE myself accomplishing this. Maybe not all at once, but with every hand I can touch, and every heart I can open, I can make a difference.
And who know who that other hand and heart knows who wants to feel this way too? Who knows how many hearts will open and share this with others, and then their hearts open too? What IF?
So, I take this into my own hands now as my 1st goal: re-define what I want.
What do I want again, really?
~*~*~*~*~
I want to live a happy, content, fully uplifted, accomplished, feeling-fully-satisfied with everything I engage with on a daily basis, with the freedom to enjoy every sunrise, noon-day blaze and sunset, at any time of year, wherever I feel called to be on the planet, and connecting, relating and heart-sharing with whomever is calling for that greater expansive connection and deepening in heart and spirit.
BAM!

PS. I wrote this back on June 24th, 2018. A LOT has shifted for me over the summer, and I'm now in the midst of a brand new website launch ~ I came in here to pause from the many-tasks at hand to finish the site and have it out there asap. It is a major work of art and a masterpiece in itself.
Since I'll be linking EC Game Reviews with my website, I'm here making sure it's all a - go and all - aglow ;)
