In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. John Muir I miss hiking. It’s cold now but even when it was nice out, I was so busy, I didn’t make enough time to take myself hiking. I miss hiking. I usually drag the family out to hikes pretty regularly but IContinue reading ““Hiking, oh, how I miss you””

It’s Ok to Not Know.
It’s ok to take time to learn. We live in a world that makes it hard to just be like, “Oh, I need to do more research on that before I make a choice in the matter.” There’s a lot I don’t understand that’s going on these days and there are some topics I don’tContinue reading “It’s Ok to Not Know.”
Let Your Light Shine
No matter what they say, writing is for everyone. Not everyone is a Nobel prize winner or author of the top selling book on Amazon. But everyone is welcomed to open the door to writing. Especially today, with indie authors having access to ebooks and social media marketing, it gives us even more leverage thanContinue reading “Let Your Light Shine”
Amenemope an Egyptian Scribe
Amenemope belongs to the literary genre of “instruction” (Egyptian sebayt). It is the culmination of centuries of development going back to the Instruction of Ptahhotep in the Old Kingdom[1][6] but reflects a shift in values characteristic of the New Kingdom’s “Age of Personal Piety”: away from material success attained through practical action, and towards inner peace achieved through patient endurance andContinue reading “Amenemope an Egyptian Scribe”

In honor of snow days here’s a poem from Robert Frost Stopping by Woods on a Snowy EveningContinue reading “In Honor of Snow”
Underground Community Good or Bad?
I’m feeling lazy today. I was on mom duty, and I don’t like to start projects unless I know I’m going to be able to work on them without being interrupted. So I didn’t get much done. Fortunately, I have had time to think about my novel and the underground community that’s a big partContinue reading “Underground Community Good or Bad?”
Headache, Rhizomes and Nerves.
My head is killing me. It started hurting around 11 and it stopped for a bit while I was in the shower in the dark but then came back. One of my long long time ago exboyfriends taught me about a pressure point between our pointer and thumb and that’s what helped for the tinyContinue reading “Headache, Rhizomes and Nerves.”
Float Tanks

I hear some people have pretty cool experiences. I just know, I love baths. and I love when the lights are out while I’mContinue reading “Float Tanks”
Surprisingly Productive Day
Today I stayed home with my little one and worked on my novel. I’m working on the protagonist community and their belief system. I think developing my protagonist more will help me with details in the rest of the story. Especially since the protagonist is an entire community rather than just one individual. I wasContinue reading “Surprisingly Productive Day”
