  • 2017-11-16 The Measuring Stick

    Spoiler alert. This one is long, has backstory, AND poetry. It’s clear that I’m in a much better place today than I was this time last year. I don’t really need a reminder, but sometimes it’s good to have a measuring stick. Some way to know just how far I’ve come. The value in me…

  • 2017-11-09 How I Really Feel

    The major disclaimer that I professed when I started this blog is that it would contain my raw, unedited feelings about everything that I have gone through and everything that I am going through. I do make an effort to keep things as transparent as possible and as “readable” as possible, but some days that’s…

  • 2017-10-31 Maui Day 2 🏖️

    Our second full day on Maui is coming to a close and though we had very similar activities to yesterday, the day felt very different. Yesterday we visited two beaches near Kihei. It was very casual and we were just getting acclimated to the ocean waves. Today we travelled north and west and visited two…

  • 2017-10-17 Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

    A few days ago I wrote about finally doing something I have been afraid to do for years. Fear may or may not be the right word, but at the heart of it, there is always some reason and that is the closest I thing I can come to pinpointing the root of why I…

  • 2017-10-27 On History Repeating

    The last few days have been strange in the way it feels I’m living certain days and events of my life over again. Today it continues and I’ve been “hit” with one more. This one on a much more personal level. I was just doing random chores around the house and finishing dishes in the…

  • 2017-10-26 History Repeats – Part 2

    My job interview today went well. I’m pretty sure my reputation precedes me on this one and that probably cuts the conversation in half. The people I spoke with were the president of the company and the current product developer/owner/leader. Really cool people who seem to have great vision about the company and where things…

  • 2017-10-25 History Repeats

    It seems like I always have a song lyric in my head for what I’m thinking or feeling. Today it is DMB “So Much To Say”. The name of this one says it all. And just as I started typing this I thought, “This feels very familiar”. Indeed it is. Rewind to January 26th and…

  • 2017-10-23 I Did It!! 😃

    I’ve been writing for over 30 years. I’ve been meandering happily along the path of life and always choosing something else as my priority. Be that as it may, writing has always been my rock. It’s been my “way out”. It’s been one of the only things that I could truly rely on at every…
