  • 2018-11-29 Aaaaand That’s a Wrap…

    Last night I finished polishing all the documents required for my MFA final that is due this week. I haven’t yet got feedback from my mentor on my 4th packet, but that’s not really a requirement. That’s one more thing checked off my list for November and I feel great about it. ✅😊❤️ I’m a…

  • 2018-11-17 Hey Mr. DJ – What’s Up?

    This morning I woke up around 6 and that would normally be fine, but I didn’t go to bed until close to midnight. That equates to less than 6 hours of good sleep. I was doing great for the week and then, WHAM, it all went down the drain because of one night. In any…

  • 2018-10-23 Smile and Nod

    Or wave or something. Anything. I don’t know. It feels like it’s been ages since I wrote a blog post or journal entry or whatever this is. It’s actually only been a couple of days. I’m not sure if I count Sunday’s cuz those have a predetermined topic and format and I really don’t do…

  • 2018-09-28 Serious Friday Feels

    Everything I was worried about yesterday went great. Every thing that got done made me feel lighter and lighter. I made a space for my morning cardio which I did not think I was going to have time for. ✅ I got my lawn mowed. ✅ I had a difficult conversation with my boss. ✅…

  • 2018-09-25 Failure is Not an Option

    Today would be the perfect day to write something new about something that someone, anyone, would find valuable. Anything different and interesting would do, a cheeseburger revue, or an artistic opinion on some local issue. But I’m coming up empty. My mind is completely trained on a different objective…. poetry. Well not poetry exactly, because…

  • 2018-07-25 Look Who’s Back, Back Again

    I’m at the gym on my elliptical machine. It’s the first time I’m about two weeks and just getting started all I can think about is the start of that Eminem song “Without Me”. Now there’s a master poet! That guy is brilliant. Perhaps troubled, but I think a lot of genius artists are. I…

  • 2018-07-24 An Unorganized Mash of Spinning Priorities

    This could very well turn out to be the most disjointed, unclear, off in all directions post I have ever written. It’s a mirror to my thoughts and feelings and I’m not even sure where to start (other than that disclaimer). For 8 or 9 days during MFA residency, my whole world of parenting and…

  • 2018-07-21 MFA Day 7 and 8 – My Cup Runneth Over

    Day 7 was yesterday and day 8 is today. That’s me, trying to catch up with myself and not feel too much like I am still stuck thinking about what happened the day before. I know they build a lot of flexibility into the schedule for folks to go off and think and write, because…
