Live Intentionally
I feel as though I have been living in a fog the past two weeks or so. The last thing I remember was researching and writing about Charles Schultz and the significance of A Charlie Brown Christmas. And now here we are, January 4, 2022. The simple story is that I got sick. Covid test… Continue reading Out Of The Fog: What Happened To 2021?
Growth and letting go are intricately connected.
Life is an ever evolving cycle of change. Nothing stays the same no matter how hard we try or how desperately we wish to freeze frame a moment in time. To fight against change is to miss the beauty of this naturally cyclical thing we call life. A dandelion’s life purpose is to sow seeds… Continue reading Inspired By Dandelions

I tend to avoid that which overwhelms me. Ironic since ignoring only escalates the problem leading to a greater… Continue reading K.I.S.S. Day Four
The internet is an insidious and seductive mistress. It lures you in with promises of knowledge, fun, connection, and entertainment. All the while it is slowly and deceptively spinning a web of control.
