    2025-08-13 Hands to Heart Center

    It’s August. It’s the 13th day of the month, and the 13th day in a row I’ve woken with a headache or a migraine. And I’ve been so, so tired. Feeling tired all day is the result of struggling through these headaches, managing every moment like it’s the single cell of a spreadsheet that has…

    2024-08-16 A Fresh Take on Over Half Over

    August is officially over half over. The year is over half over. My life is over half over.  Oh no?! Another melancholy post about existential dread and crooning over what the purpose of life is and what it all means??!!  No. Nope. Not today.  A few weeks ago (or maybe it was just last week)…

    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…

    2024-08-01 The Power of Choice

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it is that I am the ONLY person responsible for my happiness. For support in all the other colors of the rainbow, I will gladly lean on those around me who I can trust in times of need, but for that pesky fleeting golden ticket known as…

    2024-06-05 Closer to Fine

    Today I’m Closer to Fine.  Way back a hundred years ago on April 18th, I wrote about the big question of “What’s Next” in It’s Only Life After All. But when I began unpacking that question, it only led to more questions. I always wholeheartedly accept lists so these six questions didn’t really bother me.…

    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…

    Hi! Thanks for being here! Today’s Q&A is all about self discovery.  Maybe you figured out what you wanted to do with your life at age 4 and have been enjoying the ride ever since. If that’s you, this post might not be helpful. For the other 8 billion of us, it might be worth…
