“If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed.” – Ernest Hemingway There’s plenty of words to add intimate details, but it’s the feeling you want to convey. Tiny details are great. I appreciate well-timed details that pace the story, but at the same time, details can takeContinue reading “Details”

Now Back to Regularly Scheduled Programming
This weekend was jam-packed with celebrating my husband’s birthday and our anniversary. Now I’m tired from trying to keep up. I’m excited that this is my last year in my thirties. I look forward to growing older and wiser. The way to a good life surely is good friends and family. I wouldn’t trade anyContinue reading “Now Back to Regularly Scheduled Programming”
Letting Go
My inner work this week is to focus on letting go of old beliefs. It feels like I’m walking in uncharted territory. It took me a couple of weeks to get into a new routine, but I think I’ve gotten a good idea of my energy levels along with the actions I’m ready to focusContinue reading “Letting Go”
Happy Autumn!
Today is the Autumn equinox! “A carefully worded answer is that on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 8:44 a.m. Eastern daylight time (5:44 a.m. Pacific daylight time) autumn begins astronomically in the Northern Hemisphere, and spring in the Southern. At that moment, the sun would be shining directly overhead as seen from a point in the equatorial AtlanticContinue reading “Happy Autumn!”
DC Movies
I literally got Disney+ and stopped watching all the DC movies. They’ve just been carrying on without my knowledge whatsoever. I just feel like they should at least have advertisements on one of the millions of feeds I scroll through. Now the latest is that Colin Farrell is the Penguin?! What do you think? YouContinue reading “DC Movies”

Away From the Daily Grind
Solitude is where you go to recharge your creative battery. I was reminded today that some people have access to more solitude than others. If you are alone often, maybe you don’t need more time alone. Maybe you need to find more ways to connect with others. It’s important to sit down and be honestContinue reading “Away From the Daily Grind”
Divergent
The way to loving life is to make it yours. And the keys to making it yours are your values. If you are out of alignment with your own personal values, then you are going to be miserable no matter what you do. Your values are personal to you. They can’t be values that areContinue reading “Divergent”
Don’t Limit Yourself
There’s an entire world out there. There’s time. There are a billion people. There are resources. Break free from your old routine that’s not serving you anymore. You may find the same ol’ stuff, but at least you get the same ol’ stuff with a better view. I don’t wanna encourage anyone to walk offContinue reading “Don’t Limit Yourself”
