Temptation. First thing that comes to mind for me when I hear that word is that its the brand name of my cats’ favorite treats. But it also is woven into the fabric of our lives. Everywhere we look, there is something to tempt us. We are tempted by stuff we should not be eating. We are tempted by […]

To new beginnings and old memories
So I am sitting in my new OWNED abode at my computer, having just spent the first night in what the other half and I hope is our forever home. I’m surrounded by boxes and it was weird sleeping here last night since while the bed was my own, the room was different and the […]
Life happens. Enjoy it while you can.
So sometime in the past day or so, I lost a citrine gemstone from the ring my other half had special ordered for me almost two years ago for our fifteenth wedding anniversary. Somehow in the course of packing, moving, cleaning or whatever, one of the prongs opened and the stone simply fell out. One of […]
New year, same story
It’s been a crazy start to the new year, but it’s been a welcoming start. For those who don’t know, last week the other half and I closed on our very first home. The past week has been a whirlwind of cleaning the new to us house, painting the interior walls, doing some minor repairs that […]
It’s the end of another year
It’s the time of year where everyone shares their accomplishments for the year. And while this post will be no different in that regards, there is also a bit of reflection as well. I had several author and writing related goals I had jotted upon a piece of paper at the beginning of this year: And […]
I didn’t know you wrote…..
So if you’ve been paying attention to some of my other social medias, you’d know I have published another book in my Portals Series. This one tells the story of the heirs of the Dynast, the Cleric, and the Portal Seeker, continuing the tales of Delphian, the Realm of Original Magic, and even Earth itself. […]
Gentleness
Last week, Veteran’s Day was celebrated here in the United States. The Fruit of the Spirit that was examined in the little church I attend in my tiny swath of the Midwest was gentleness. There is a strange sort of juxtaposition between those two ideas. Veterans are those who once served in any branch of […]
NaNoWriMo 2023
If you follow me over on any of my social medias (i.e. Instagram, Facebook, and Threads), you’d know I am participating in NaNoWriMo again this month. For those of you who DON’T know what NaNoWriMo is, there is a wonderful and informative podcast on the subject if you click here. Full disclaimer though – the […]
Finding God in the Strangest of Places
I seem to find God in the strangest of places. In the lyrics to a heavy metal song, poignancy touches my soul. In the sunrise after a week of bad weather, celestial splendor abounds. In the comments on a Facebook post, kindness drowns out the evil. In the quiet moments of a walk, clarity overcomes […]
Setbacks
This past week, I suffered a blow to the goals I had set up for the month of October. I had made plans to walk at least a mile every single day of the month and that goal has already been setback unintentionally. I came down with a head cold. It’s amazing how a simple […]
