Have you ever set out on a journey without having a destination in mind? I may not have done so on a road trip, but sometimes, especially on walks around my neighborhood or neighborhoods wherever and whenever I am visiting a new place, I often just go wherever my feet take me.

Mistakes
It’s usually something simple, like forgetting to clock out one night at your place of employment or thinking you’ve replied to an email and text when you did so only in your head. It could be something major, like not test-running a project one last time before giving it the green light or sending a […]
Let the divisions fall
Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States of America, once paraphrased a verse that shows up in three different Gospels when he spoke at the Illinois Republican State Convention, in Springfield, Illinois on the 16th of June, 1858: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” It was a quote Jesus gave, according to Matthew […]

What are you trying to do?
I belong to a number of writing groups on the interwebs through various social medias. Sometimes, I read on them questions like: When did you know you were a writer? or How did you become a writer? I often don’t know how to answer that question because I think I was always a writer. But […]

But far too often, we hang on to things mentally and physically that fester. We dwell on past wrongs that will never be made right. We harbor resentment for things […]
Walk a mile
I’ve been doing a great deal of thinking about life, the universe, and everything lately. And since this is my forty-second year and that number is the answer to the question nobody knows, I’m in a bit of a quandary. Douglas Adams’ references always make me giggle. And fair warning, this blog post will be […]
Keeper of Stories
I haven’t written about one of my novellas in a bit. In fact, it was way back in February that I wrote the blog post about Child of the Sage, when I offered that one for free (HEY-if you downloaded it, read it – I could use some more reviews!). And since I am at […]
