Learning is Leadership: Lebron James
from Of Darkness & Light · host Daphne Garrido
To be clear: I believe his leadership style is balanced, not innately feminine. That he embodies healthy leadership principles from both ends of the gendered thinking spectrum simultaneously, in a culture which does not see the virtue within that often deemed feminine.please consider helping me through this difficult time with a donationMy GoFundMeyou can reach me at [email protected] if you’d like to connectFollow Of Darkness & Light on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyOn How I Need Help - What Is Happening to MeMy Mental Disability and Meditation - I use a practice of meditation to clear myself, before exhibiting my executive dysfunctionOn Schizophrenic Executive Dysfunction - By Grok for meMy Dream of a Recovery Home for Schizophrenics - Demystifying the truth of schizophrenia can save many poor people from cruelest fatesI’m looking for a patron to help me on publishing and writing endeavors.

The Gospels are hers but bastardized. Jesus just killed a dude. Get over it. That’s what dudes are for. Ladies used to let them take all the credit.Hypatia of Earth - This is the best written short story I’ve done, in my estimation, after final edits and cleanup. Think of it as written by Miriam Halafax of the Justiceers for the title. It was going to originally be called Honor of Hypatia. But I wanted to give her ultimate hero of Earth vibes. This is what we’ve done wrong, over again, and I think Miriam would appreciate most the sacrifice for living earnestly despite. I do not think it undermines the story or her character to land on love in the end. It’s beautiful. She’s still just a woman.Those Deepest Woods - This is the third short story I created after A Foot in the Door, and Radical Pair. It was months and months later, and when I knew I could write whatever I wanted. The Grimoire was next. My subconscious and me have been flowing with fiction-prose ever since, every day.Horrible & Lovely - I like this one despite how plain and painfully vulnerable it is. There’s a magic to that.Radical Pair - Prequel short story to a book I need to re-write, that was my first—in notebooks—long before I was writing from my subconscious flow.Grip - HOT, dude. HOT. And it’s my whole heart in need of healing too. F-Zero racing league vibes.Heavy Dope: A Saga of Cybernetic Justice - I still think this is one of the funniest short stories ever written.The Princess Was in That Castle - Romantic Tragedy Poemthe underworld (Redux) - My schizophrenic breakdown begins! This was what happened to me in a waking vision at the beginning of my subconscious trying to tell me I was schizophrenic and would apparently, be fighting a demon for some time relating another person I had trauma with. It’s also how my subconscious stoked me up to deliver a letter.The Grimoire - It’s a spaceship, dude.Pure Magick - This is the saddest thing I can imagine anybody ever having to write. perchanceA Foot in the Door - My first short fiction story, other than screenplays. Chains - Alchemy of spite. I once let AI write something just like this and betrayed my own intelligence in a way I wanted to atone for. It was before I began creatively writing. I told the person. But I still hate myself for not writing that myself.Choice EssaysOphelia’s Art World - my dream of a better futureHer Journey to Now - on growing up trans and closetedWhat it Means to Love - an essay on the meaning of loveWhy Nobody Trusts Anyone | Emotional Manipulation is Not What You Think It Is - let’s get realWe Are Demented and Holy - let’s unpack thatMeditations on YouTubeMeditation on Balance - Feminine & Masculine - Darkness & LightThe Space Inside Us - I did my best MoojiStand in the Truth of Love - I did my best meSelf-Healing Meditation - I teach baseline Reiki principles via visualization and instructionNourish Yourself with Exactly What You Need - Shamanistic self-explorationLoving Your Unique Expression of the Universe - my favorite self-love meditationGrounding Into Who You Are in the Moment - shamanistic exploration of connecting with your inner child, your future self, for radical acceptance of yourself in the nowThe Spiritual Evolution of Humanity - join me at my timeless prayer tree for the futureReleasing What No Longer Serves Us - let go of attachment gentlyManifest from the Heart - connect with your future self and bring them into the now powerfullyLay Down to Sleep - meditation for body restStratosphere Meditation - video meditation for people who have trouble meditatingMy meditations are also available on Insight Timer.
