Why fit in when you were born to stand out? ~ Dr. Seuss (Theodore Giesel) I wear a number of bracelets. Currently I have eleven on my wrist (twelve if you count my watchband), though I’ve been known to wear as many as fifteen on that wrist and a few on the other. I also […]

Reflections and gratitude
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 […]

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 […]
Graduations
It’s been 20 years since I walked across the stage of the newly constructed gymnasium in the new student center of a small Christian college in Southern California. It’s been twenty years since my name was called and my parents, adopted grandparents, and a few friends clapped. With a pin from the honor society on […]
