I have just had an epiphany. I think I've finally put a few concepts together for something that has NEVER, in my life, made a lick of sense. I had no idea at all what made successful people successful or what they were confident about. Success didn't make sense at all. Most of the popular …

Language Barrier
We've been born into your world, not our own. We instinctively reach out to connect with you, to show you we care, but your reactions confuse us. When we speak, it's as though the message we send gets flipped in the space between us, and what you hear and respond to is frightening. We must …
Things are Coming Together
It has been a while, but man, there has been some wicked life shit I've been working out lately. I don't even really know how to describe it, but of course, as expected, things started moving really fast with that last shamanic ritual I participated in and it's been a bit of a whirlwind. First, …
THE POST I’ve Been Unable to Conjure for Weeks
Someone very specific that I know will be VERY happy that I was (finally) inspired to cough this one up; believe me, it was hard going. As I write this brief intro, I'm still not entirely sure how I'll be going about telling this story. A more polished writer might choose not to get meta …

Drought
Hey y'all, it's been a minute, eh? I didn't exactly plan to take a hiatus from the blog entirely and yet it's clearly what I needed to do for the last while, says the universe. And now, the universe is telling me (by keeping me awake on the one night when I VERY INTENTIONALLY went …
Focus Word for 2023
As the new year is now upon us and the days start to get noticeably longer (I walked the dogs until nearly 5pm this afternoon and twilight hung around until we arrived home), it is time to start moving around and seeing how the new year feels. Not unlike trying on a new favorite outfit, …
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 …
Editing
The art of paring away, of subtraction, this is editing. Like someone who carves wood or clay, sometimes the ultimate result of creative work comes from a process of taking away, rather than adding to, slowly revealing the final product in reverse. It is creation through reduction. Most people think of editing related to writing. …
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 …
Reading Makes Me Fall Asleep
About a year or more ago, I heard about a book that I became interested in called Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky. I can't recall where I heard about this book, but it was likely mentioned in some podcast or another; I find out about a lot of cool shit from podcasts. The …
