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 […]

Just keep following the rhythm
The other day, I was sent a text from a young lady that I look upon as a daughter. She mentioned that since she was “not good” at speaking in front of a group “like you are,” she didn’t want to be asked to ever do it again, because she felt she messed up on […]
Monday musings
As I drove home the other day from work to my new abode, I noticed a hawk catching a ride on a gust of wind. In that same seven mile journey, I also noticed an eagle flying high in the sky, a flock of geese in perfect formation in the vista ahead of me, and […]
Crossing the wilderness
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.

Let your roots grow wide
In college, I had the opportunity to travel from Orange County, California to San Francisco for a weekend for my California History and Government class. One of our stops was the John Muir Woods National Monument, where I got the opportunity to see redwood trees for the first and only time so far in my […]
Good Enough
Social media is one of the best tools I have to get the word out about my writings. I am fairly active in the writing communities of several social media platforms. While it is a blessing, it can also be a curse. Look at any feed and one will see that while there are a […]
