[Most times] I’m sold on the creative ways to say something mundane. And those bold enough to learn from the mundane Today I learned that if I really want something, being too tired isn’t going to keep me from doing the work. (But I still took a nap after I finished the work.) Consistency isContinue reading “Random Thoughts”

My Drive
I’m not driven by money. Don’t get me wrong, when someone hands me cash to take care of myself, I feel loved and cared for and grateful but money is not nor has ever been a driver for me to accomplish things. When I’m truly heard, supported, and understood that is what gives me theContinue reading “My Drive”
Sunday Rest Day
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”
Poem Trade
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. Not for victory but for the day’s work done as well as I was able; notContinue reading “Poem Trade”

Lot’s of trucks were on the side rode and we even seen a couple trucks regain control after battling the wind on the road in front of us.Continue reading “Road Trip Check in”
Break the Spell
Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas IS AFRAID of the truly passionate painter who dares — and who has once broken the spell of “you can’t.” Vincent van Gogh I found this quote by Van Gogh on The Marginalian. It stirred my heart.
Did You Ask?
Sometimes I go looking and exactly what I need is right there waiting for me. I love when that happens! It’s like everything aligns and I get a hug from all the words I needed to hear. Today I didn’t really wake up with a question that I needed answered today. It’s always nice toContinue reading “Did You Ask?”
St Augustine on Friendship
St Augustine’s Teaching The joy of friendship is beautifully described in this quote: In my friends I found pleasures, which captivated my mind: shared talk, shared laughter, mutual acts of kindness, the shared reading of good literature, of moments of levity and seriousness; occasional disagreements that were without ill-feeling, as a man can disagree withContinue reading “St Augustine on Friendship”
No More
How many times today did you wish you were doing something else? How many times today did you say, “I don’t even want to be here.” I was feeling that way a lot a few weeks ago. I finally said, “No! No more.” to that voice. I have spent years learning how to step awayContinue reading “No More”
