Steadfast joy
From time to time, I am told by well-meaning friends and family that I could be doing so much more with my life than I already do. I could be making more money. I could be applying myself in different capacities. I could be working a job that is more intellectual than I already do. […]
And now, the mundanity of weather.
The weather here in my little swath of the Midwest is a bit bipolar lately. A couple of weeks ago it was subzero (keep in mind I live in Iowa, United States, so I use the Fahrenheit system of measurement) and then it climbed into the 50s. It then dipped back into the 30s and […]
A lot can happen in a year
“Even though I said all the things that mattered most / While I held on tight to the end of the rope / I could keep you close, but I couldn’t keep you here / A lot can happen in a year.” ~ Shinedown Three Six Five The first of February is an anniversary for […]
I still have stories to tell
I often tell people I work a full time job and write on the side. Because, well, that is the absolute truth. The long and short of it is I just don’t know if I could sit at a computer and write all day EVERY day. I need the movement I get from the full […]

Just when you feel like throwing in the towel
Normally I’d be writing what I call my “sermon reflection” today. But since I skipped church last week due to needing a mental and physical break and never watched the video about it (sorry Pastor Travis!), I don’t have some witty wonderful writing for you about doing unto other and working kindness or love or […]
Updates and what nots
It’s fall. It’s the first fall in my new abode and I am adapting. I am watching the first of the leaves fall through my office windows today while one of the cats naps in her bed on my desk. I am waiting on my old van to be done, since I finally am getting […]
Train – Sample Chapter of The Trickster
If you’ve read my blog, you know I have a serial novel The Magician…. or perhaps you don’t. Anyway, in one week it will release as a paperback novel over on the Zon. But you can also sit and read it here on the blog, or listen to a few chapters as audio files read […]
