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…

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…

2023-08-23 It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do, that defines me…
“Holy buckets Batman, this must mean the end is near!” Batman straightens up a little, cracks a single knuckle, and slowly turns to face the exclamation, “Why’s that?” “Two! Count them… one… TWO blog posts within the same week!!” Batman shrugs. Batman has a long list of bad guys to bring to justice and hasn’t…

2023-08-20 The Dichotomy of Life plus a Bonus List of All the Things I’m Not Writing
I’ve had zero motivation for writing for a while now.. and recently let my poetry workshop group know that I was withdrawing participation. I also procrastinated jumping through all the hoops required to take more classes at UNO and have given up the hope of being in the nature writing and spiritual nonfiction classes people…
