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 …

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 …
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 …
Belonging is a Two-Way Street
This is what everyone wants, to belong. To be a part of a community, to be accepted as we are. It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum we're on, what race we are or what other identity groups we fall into. Everyone wants to be heard and accepted, to belong. But this isn't …
What’s in my Refrigerator
I'm not gonna lie, I have a reasonably full refrigerator. I know people out there are struggling,, and no part of this story is intended to be boastful in any way. We all are where we are. I believe I have mentioned before, I'm a TEENY-TINY bit of a hoarder. I'm generally disinclined to finish …
Blog Changes
Hey everyone, dear readers new and old. I am so grateful for each and every one of you. When I started writing regularly in this space just over 2 years ago, I never expected anyone to read it. I was just posting, setting my thoughts free into the ether, where they could be picked up …
The Dam Breaks?
I have a confession to make, though loyal readers already know... I have not posted any new writing in this blog for a few weeks now. I broke my writing habit/commitment. I failed to live up to my own ideal. As you may recall, I had set the intention a while ago to publish SOMETHING, …
What is “Good Enough?”
Starting when I was a young child, I enjoyed learning, soaking up information like a sponge, as young children are supposed to do. This thirst for knowledge didn't really stop when I got to school either. I was usually interested in what my teachers had to offer and treated them with great respect, taking for …
How Much AM I Capable Of?
I walked 4.5 miles last Sunday. This is not necessarily a great feat or anything, but it is also something I rarely allow myself to take the time for. According to Google, my route "should" have taken 1.5 hours on foot, but I was dawdling quite a bit, stopping to chat with people, petting some …
Conjuring a Theme for the New Year
Happy New Year, dear readers! I'm not gonna lie; we all thought 2020 was bad and 2021 would be better, but at this point, it honestly feels like we've just been through one huge, horrible, double-length year of anguish and uncertainty. After all that, the holidays and typical year end frivolity just didn't feal right, …
