Despite starting this blog as an outlet to talk about writing in general, I realized that I haven’t done a blog post in a bit where I just talked about where I am in my writing. So here goes. **Note here – I’ve linked to other blog posts if people are interested in anything I’ve […]

Journeys
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. Sometimes, we don’t […]
A tragedy anywhere….
As you probably have already seen, debris from the Titan submarine has been found and all five men aboard the tourist vessel have been declared dead, killed in a likely implosion. Two were billionaire tourists who were considered adventurers. One was the nineteen-year-old son of one of those tourists who was terrified to take the […]
Let It Go
Anger can be used as a powerful tool. When it is justified, it can be used to move mountains, to change atrocities, to right wrongs. 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.

But I have been thinking about celebrations lately, especially after listening to a dear friend give a sermon on birthdays, since last Sunday was Pentecost, which traditionally is the birthday of the Christian church. And […]

Let me tell you a little story. I once celebrated an achievement of someone. I shared it with my circle of friends happily, making sure a wider circle got to hear about it. I was told by that someone that I had no achievements of my own, thus I had to make myself look better […]
The work is not yet done
Anyone who has spent any time reading anything that I have written knows that, while I am a church-going Christian, I don’t try to force my beliefs on others. I am a firm believer in living in faith, whatever that faith is for someone. But I also am a firm believer in hard work and […]
Renew
It was a humid spring morning, the air still holding a great deal of moisture from the storms that had rolled through the night before. There were clouds on the horizon, ones that threatened to bring rain. But I was outside nevertheless. I had gotten new hiking shoes a few day prior and wanted to […]
