So, folks, it has been a while. Any semblance of a writing "practice" I had built beginning at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 has left my being due to an intense series of events that have occurred to and around me and my family in the last two months. I will admit …

Goin’ to California
Well, it has been a bit. I've been a busy little human, working the "day job" most of the day, and sometimes late nights, and squeezing in the extra stuff where I can. Sadly, the blog hasn't quite made it to the top of the priority list, but I'm still here! Hi! 👋 As some …
How Many Different Ways are there to See the World?
This question came to me the other day and the more I consider it, the more joy and hope I feel for humanity. Back up, allow me to explain. There are a few things we run into on this planet that are constant, fixed, measurable, do not fluctuate based on time or conditions, at least …

Dry January
Today is February 1st, the beginning of the second month of the new year 2023. So why am I writing about January now? I'm so glad you asked. I have never been a "joiner." Unlike most people I've known in my life, the way to get me to NOT do something is to tell me …
Damar Hamlin
I am not a big pro football fan. And just to be clear, I mean the NFL, the National Football League, rough-and-tumble, smashmouth, American Football.

Happy New Year
Ahhhhhhhhhh. Let me just begin this post with a sigh. This year my company was gracious enough to give us all the holiday gift of a week off from Christmas to New Years and even though it's now Friday night and the week is coming to a close, I have truly felt about 15% less …
Solstice
Yesterday was either the shortest or longest day of the year, depending on whether you live in the Northern or Southern hemisphere (outside the tropic zone) of this great blue-green marble we call Earth. For those of us in the north, December 21st marks the beginning of winter, generally thought of a the time of …
It’s Been a Minute, or Vibes
Time flies when you're having a good time, right? You might be thinking that I've been working on some magnum opus post since I've been "away" for so long, but I assure you nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, I've just not had the spark hit at the right time for …
The Magic of Human Relationships
Sometimes just being in the world can be overwhelming these days. It's not that you even need to be DOING anything, per se. There are so many CONSTANT demands for our attention, whether they eminate from the workplace, our relationships, our homes, or our digital lives. Then when we can finally carve out some time …
Art
Lately, I have been listening to deep-dive interviews with people involved in the arts, performing, graphic, etc., about their crafts. All art is most simply put, a form of storytelling, whether through painting on canvas, sculpting clay, writing a novel, recording a song or filming a movie. Some art requires the expression of a story …
