    2023-09-21 Next Stop: Peace and Quiet

    We’re ⅔ through the month of September and just that much closer to the Autumn finish line and BIG changes. I’ve mentioned these BIG changes before but haven’t yet done a good job defining what that is. That’s probably because I don’t really know what it’s going to look like. And I might not know…

    2023-09-15 Keeping it Real at the BK

    This morning I woke up in Sedona Arizona before the Sun. I actually woke up at 12:45 PM, 1:38 AM, 2:25 AM, and 3:45 AM. When I saw that it was almost 4, I decided to get up but was on the fence about whether or not I should take a shower. My neck hurt…

    2023-09-10 Sedona Arizona Day 0: Flying Solo

    Day Zero. The travel day. The day I don’t actually reach my destination because I needed a day to myself before meeting up with my Texas Bestie and making our way to our home away from home for the week.  For one thing, I’m a serious introvert who almost never gets to be alone so…

    2023-09-09 When Good Habits Go Bad

    I previously committed to (and wrote about) taking the entire month of September to “meditate” about what might be the next BIG thing for me personally.  But the truth is that I suck at meditation. Maybe I should have said I would think about it for a slow, undisclosed amount of time instead. Yeah. That’s…

    2023-09-06 The Pub Update…

    No no… this is not a top 10 list of local pubs with good atmosphere and great cheeseburgers (though that would also be the bomb). THIS… is the never-asked-for update on my personal journey to trick reputable publishers into including my poetry in the print or virtual pages of their esteemed magazines and journals.  This…

    2023-09-03 Headed for BIG MOVES, at my own pace…

    I put a lot of thought into almost everything. Too much sometimes and often to my own detriment. I might argue that over-analysis has led to some really great outcomes but chaos theory has a way of throwing off any statistics I might try to use to prove my point.  Which is a fancy way…

    2023-08-30 Procrastination is the Key to Success

    Just kidding. But doesn’t that title pop?! Doesn’t it scream “click me” without actually screaming? Isn’t it also a prime example of the most despised internet bait and switch of all time? Like… “Want to know what food to avoid in order to get rid of belly fat? Watch this video.”  The video then goes…

    2023-08-29 Welcome to the backside slide…

    …down the cheese grater of life. “Really bro?”  Yeah… that’s more or less what my brother wrote in my birthday card. That and “welcome to the club.” “What club bro?” I say though I know damn well what club.  Should I feel special? He and I have never been in a club together so maybe…
