2024-07-01 A Peek Behind the Curtain of Creation

No… not another origin story for some superhero or where life on planet Earth started. This is an “Account” of where my poems originate. “Account” is the name of one publication I’m interested in submitting work to. Their unique spin in the literary world is that they ask for (and publish) a separate document explaining…

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…

2024-03-14 When the Veil is Lifted…

Truths are revealed. I haven’t written in a while, so today (for the 280th time), I’m writing about writing. Or rather, why I haven’t been writing. First I need to back up a smidge and speak frankly about the “veil” I’ve referred to in the title of this post. I think that sometimes we all…

2023-09-15 Keeping it Real at the BK

This morning I woke up in Sedona Arizona before the Sun. I actually woke up at 12:45 PM, 1:38 AM, 2:25 AM, and 3:45 AM. When I saw that it was almost 4, I decided to get up but was on the fence about whether or not I should take a shower. My neck hurt…

2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever

Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy! ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…

Oops.. I did it again. What? I wrote a post that I never posted. /shrug Made a goal and then didn’t achieve it. /yup Developed a good, healthy new habit and then lost it. #truth (followed by gaining back the pounds I lost in January and February.. ugh!) So what’s the point anyway? To eat…

2023-02-16 But what does “real life” look like?…

It’s the middle of the month. I’m still lamenting being home from our big vacation and trying to keep things well balanced. There’s a let down, you know, when something wonderful is over and the best way to combat that is planning the next vacation. 😂 I’m thinking of several actually and daydreaming is nice. …

2022-12-13 Stopping to Smell the Roses… 🌹🌹🌹

Yesterday I was thinking about recapping my year in order to gain a more positive perspective on life. In some way use it to (hopefully) improve my mood. And as I dig back into revising and submitting my creative writing to potential publishersthis month 🍂 (which I’ve done really well on so far).. I’d like…
