2025-07-02 Welcome to July
After my last post a friend of mine messaged me and said “good luck doing nothing.” Or something like that and it’s true… I set an intention for June to do less. I wanted to minimize the pressure I constantly feel to do more or counterbalance that feeling that I’m never doing enough. How frustrating…

2025-12-29 The Ultimate Chutes and Ladders
A few days ago I started a new entry, the all-encompassing year-end wrap-up. Cuz that’s my way. Or should I say, that’s usually my way. I’ve historically found it pretty satisfying to write about some topic, start to finish, where I can tie everything together with a beautiful bow and present it like a true…

2024-12-17 Oh, Hello Again.
December 17th. Happy Birthday Kel. One of my oldest and dearest friends. We both rotated around the same circles in high school, tethered by the gravitational force of mutual friends and bonded by humor. I’m grateful for our many years of comradery and kinship. December 17th is a day that always seems to want to…

2024-08-08 808 Like a Drum..
An oldie that never gets old. Maybe someday someone will say that about me. 😂 This past couple weeks reading fiction for The Good Life Review in between trips to different hospitals, medical centers, and council bluffs has me thinking of all these one or two line vignettes that feel like silk in my head. Mostly…

Awww Lawdy! What’s this now?

Why on Earth with all this, would my brain turn to a…

2024-05-14 A Question of Sustainability and Sanity
Today’s Q&A is all about The Good Life. My good life, the preservation of the preciousness of it, and a nod to all the time and effort that’s already been put in. I could be talking about my life or the literary journal I co-founded five years ago. The Good Life review. To say one…

2024-05-12 Let’s Waste Time…
If I had a therapist she might say I shouldn’t pose an existential question with five minutes left in our session. Yeah. Probably not. But since I have endless time and space here, with my alternative therapeutic method, I can continue to contemplate questions like “what next?” and “what’s my purpose.. here, on Earth?” as…

2024-05-07 Cold Turkey Coming Right Up
Ok. Sometimes you just kinda gotta open up the shuffle to ALL the music in the music library. Maybe for you that’s the entirety of what Spotify, Amazon Music or Pandora have to offer. But just like opening Pandora’s box, you don’t know what will be released and the results can be wild and most…
