The beginning of 2026 is upon us...and 2025 was a rather turbulent year with crazy amounts of weird developments as well as weird destructions on various levels: changes in way of the government and politics; various forms of violence over the difference of opinions, worldviews, and beliefs; health and environmental concerns all over the world regarding our food and resources; and so on and so forth...2025 had quite a few golden moment at times, but also had quite its amount of dumpster fire moments. 😅😓 2025 was a crazy year especially in the way of spirituality...in relatively both positive and negative ways, but I would like to focus on the benevolent side of reality. I consider myself to be a good bit of titles, but what's a "title" without the persona to support it. That's where I feel spirituality really comes in and I feel that spirituality is the basis of how we all operate as people and how we come to our creative sides. This mentioned, I consider myself the following in some way, shape, or form ...and in a rather authentic spiritual sense: - Witch (and/or witch practitioner) - Munkee (or Mr Munkee if I fall into "philosopher/educator mode") - A holistic practitioner in way of societal settings and career - An Astrospiritualist - Kenny (Daniels) [my rather birth-given name] Know that not all of these titles are what I'm limited to, but these are the ones I most prefer. These will be the titles of myself that I will bring into 2026 and I say this partially with an ego being these titles will be the ones I will authenticate my boundaries by and the skills I will acquire to earn right to these titles. Moreover, I have a great belief that these titles have a hidden sense of magic to them. We are living in such a time that there seems to be a great deal of revamping of how the world looks, how the world is shaped, how the world operates, and how the world...just...transforms. This transformation of the world I believe is just magical in itself. Though the name of this community is "Manifesting Munkees", I want this to be a magical community, but an ethical community. Anything is possible, but great transformation takes time and takes heartful intention.

Sometimes, I get lost in the noise of self-doubt, self-sabotage, and self-underestimation. I'm sure I'm no different than the next "munkee" out there trying to make it, but constantly hitting road blocks and challenges...if they're not hitting their head up against the wall. One's monkey mind can keep them from getting the focus they need to finish a task worth of any valuable finish...well...at least for them. Call it what you will; ADHD, ADD, autism, neurodivergency... I believe it goes so much deeper than just a clinical diagnosis. As one who considers himself to be a spiritual person as well as rather "clinically challenged", it's difficult to believe that what one person ethereally possesses can be possessed by others as well given the sense of energy that can be transferred from person to person. I moreover speak context of this when it comes to the minds and states of creativity. I titled this passage as "Remember Who You're Doing This For" because I need to remember that the work that I am doing in my life at this moment is not just for me, but for my community. There has been such inner work that I've had to do myself over the recent few years. There's been so much that I've had to come back to when it came to me; the person I was in the past, the person I strive to be amidst the chaos I've had to internally endure, the person I had to build to make sure that I can have the future I desired. The future that I desire though requires me to do work for my community, but that also requires me to do work for me... So I have to remember that I'm doing this for me, so that I can do this for my community. I need help to manifest my community so I can manifest for my community! 💚💚💚
