Dandelions and Creeping Charlie both are alive and well in the yard outside my abode in my little swath of the Midwest. The trees are awash with fresh verdant leaves and while the temperatures have still been moving a bit like a yo-yo, they are climbing up the thermometer as they do so. It can […]

Milestones are arbitrary
I know, like everyone else, I’ve likely spent a good portion of my life being compared to. I have compared my life to others in the past. I try not to do so now, since well, I know better. It happens even though I try to not let it happen. But guess what, I am […]
Perspective
I recently flew back home to my little swath of the Midwest after visiting family in the Golden State. My flight originated at Los Angeles International Airport, known as LAX. There are a number of airports I could have chosen to fly from, since I was visiting Orange County. Yet, I decided to fly from […]
Newest Novella Released!
I’d like to take a moment to announce that the newest novella in my Portals Series has been released. This one is titled Little Sprite and was a fun story to write. I don’t usually do this, but I wanted to explain where one of the ideas of this story came from, since I cannot […]
Family
Some in my innermost circle know I have an often tenuous relationship with certain members of my family.

Just Be
Today I was able to get outside and do some writing out under my favorite tree at my favorite little park. I was able to just sit and be. And of course, let my mind wander and compose words, sentences, whole paragraphs even without trying to bend it to any will. It’s the be-ing part […]
The Constantly Changing, Mood Inducing, Sometimes Bizarre Weather
It’s been officially Spring in my little swath of the Midwest for the past couple of weeks, though sometimes, some days, it doesn’t feel like it. There are days when it’s beautiful and warm. I’ve posted a few of those beautiful days on my Instagram, documenting the beauty and the magic of the warm spring […]
Hope
The dictionary defines the word hope as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.” Alexander Pope coined the phrase “Hope springs eternal in the human breast” way back in 1732. The first part of that is still commonly used to this day. It came to mind while I was reflecting […]
