Writing has brought me a long way. Writing, mentors, and self love have changed me for the best. I still have a lot of work to do. It’s still pretty hard for me to choose myself and me time over family/home time. Even just once a week I struggle to take myself out for myself.Continue reading “Write with Me”

Research Trips
I’m reading through Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull. I’ve reached a section of the book that talks about creating as a group. And one of the section titles is called Research Trips. Writers!

James Joyce
James Joyce inspires me. Some people say he was pompous but even if he was I find so much joy reading his works. He shares in a defiant way but it’s so creative I let it happen.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it. ― Andy Rooney With so much going on around the world,Continue reading “Don’t Forget to have Fun”
My Heart Goes Out to Ukraine
Today has been a weird day at our house. Not a bad day at all. It was peaceful and felt kinda orderly in our home. My heart goes out to the families sleeping in subways. I wish they could just be swept safely out of harms way. We are preparing for snow. And I’m justContinue reading “My Heart Goes Out to Ukraine”
Good Times…
Are worth waiting for. Some people may think you should always have a good time. Some people think you have to earn a good time. I think you should do it all. Let em come to you, go seek em out, and earn them. Why not? I’m not someone who always needs to have aContinue reading “Good Times…”

Great ideas that come up while you’re not expecting them are the greatest gift ever.
