    2024-10-29 Still Kicking It (The Can, Down the Road)

    September came and went. October too, it seems. How easily time slips away when… whenever, however, whatever always happens.  It’s been a few months since I rubbed a couple sticks together and made a spark of a sentence. There are a few forces behind my hiatus from writing. The first of which is a fall…

    2024-04-09 Being Open for Small Magic…

    A few times recently I’ve had a spark of inspiration… something that feels noteworthy for one reason or another, but I just kind of ruminate on it for a minute, and then let it go. It’s like Elizabeth Gilbert talks about in Big Magic. Ideas are floating around the ether, looking for a host that…

    2023-11-26 BIG MOVES, Revealed…

    One might ask, am I doing with the extra time I have each day while hiding out from the world, free of most of my typical obligations?  The truth is that not much has changed. It turns out I spend a fair bit of time every single day maintaining this Castle of a house and…

    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…

    2023-02-27 Goals? We Don’t Need No Stinking Goals…

    Hello friends. Welcome to the end… of February. 😜 About a month ago I posted a beefy January wrap-up that talked about everything under the sun–writing, books, shows, diet, exercise, publishing, podcasts, and, of course, goals! Revisiting that is a good place to start because when a whole month goes by in a blink (and…

    2023-01-29 Birdwatching in the Morning

    Welcome to the pre month end catch-all January wrap-up. In today’s “episode” I’ll be talking about books and not-books, podcasts, TV shows, food, publishing, and the premature results of my January goals. Whoa.. really?!  Yeah… maybe.  How about goals, books, and not-books. Reading one book in January was one of my goals (after failing at…

    2023-01-09 This HAS to be it!… ❄️☃️✨

    I swear to any and all the higher powers in the Universe that this will be THE LAST post I’ll be writing about new years and resolutions… this year. 😂 Yes I’m still thinking about it. Obviously. Yes I’m still so over thinking about it. But the brain wants what the brain wants and apparently…

    2022-12-10 Big Magic, Enrichment, & New Leaf #3🍃

    Basically… all roads converge on new leaf #3.🌿 It’s about books, Big Magic, and the decision to spend more time on activities that bring me enrichment, enlightenment, fulfillment, and inspiration.  The actual goal is to read or listen to 2 to 3 books a month. That may not seem like a lot, but it’s definitely…
