My Sunday rest day was much needed this week. My head has been spinning trying to get a few new things together. My heart has been pulled in so many directions. With so much on my plate, I have to prioritize my free time. With so much value in the world I’d like to create,Continue reading “Sunday Rest Day”

Plato’s Cave
My latest interest. I like both of these animations. I really like how the responsibility that comes with enlightenment is described here. We should all seek knowledge and truth in our ways and when/if you find that tribe that’s willing to listen, share, and grow with you, it will still be the tribes (as aContinue reading “Plato’s Cave”

I share one I find. You share one you find. I’ll go first, Te Deum Charles Reznikoff – 1894-1976 Not because of victories I sing, having none, but for the common sunshine, the breeze, the largess of the spring.

Courage
Fear isn’t always a bad thing. Having no fear is great. But doing something even when you’re afraid, that’s courageous. As writers we are the barer of all news, of truth, and of the tough conversations no one wants to have or even be conscious of. Heck, I don’t even wanna be conscious of someContinue reading “Courage”

Making the unknown known isn’t always a simple task. There’s times it’s so easy we make it difficult because we were told it was difficult.
