It’s the 4th of December. My little swath of the Midwest is dealing with some wintry wonderland weather. We had a snowstorm that dumped more than a half foot of snow on us this past weekend and today the wind chill is below zero degrees Fahrenheit. It looks like Christmas outside. Inside, the tree is […]

Change is inevitable
I often tell people I’m not a fan of changes. Routines work best for me, even as I do plan a bit of flexibility into them as needed. Plans are made in advance and sometimes even have built-in excuses if I have to bail on them. And when changes occur, I’m often left feeling like […]
Two steps forward and one step back
Yesterday the other half and I got news that kind of stunned us and changes the course of some of our major plans. Without going into much detail, changes to our lives have been made yet again. But that’s just part of life. Like John Lennon penned, “Life is what happens while you are busy […]

If you didn’t know yet… you can now preorder Scion on Amazon Kindle! The next novella in my fantasy adventure Portals Series will be available on Saturday, 20 September 2025.

If I am too much, go find less
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Matthew 22:36-39 (NIV) It was all over the news […]
I’m still here
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks in my life, so I haven’t been doing much writing on my socials. But I am still here. I am still writing. In fact, I almost have a short story done and am about to release another novella in my Portals Series. I still hike and geocache as […]
How’s it going?
I haven’t been posting much, either on my social medias or on this blog. And there’s really not a good reason for that except to say that other things have been pulling my attention. There’s been many geocaching adventures that are taking place in the heat of this crazy Midwest summer so far (because of […]
Goals
I used to be very good about setting intentions and goals on the first of the month and then seeing how many of them I accomplished. But then, I got too ambitious and eventually was getting to the point where I would only achieve half of the goals I set for myself. Life is funny […]
Trails and faith
I like to hike. And while I often revisit the familiar, I also like to explore places in my little swath of the Midwest that are new to me. But sometimes, the paths meander and I get lost, like we all do. I find I have to retrace my steps and find the correct trail. […]
Coming soon – A new serial novel!
My magical and wonderful readers, instead of the usual reflection fare I post on Thursday mornings, I give you an introduction to my newest serial novel, set to debut in June. Several years ago, I wrote a novel for the now defunct National Novel Writing Month. It was the first time I ever attempted NaNoWriMo […]
