Happy New Year! As we meander through the month of January, it’s been prime time for some annual reflection and recalibration. Balance and progress. That’s what this post is about today. It’s a long one, but hopefully, you can all sort of relate. I’ve been making decisions about what I’d like to accomplish both creatively […]
I keep seeing these things going around Facebook. You know what they are, because you’ve seen them too. Stuff like: – “If you’re an American and a Christian, you’ll do/believe/say X.” – “The Democrats are fools because of such-and-such.” – “Republicans are idiots because fill-in-the-blank.” – “Liberals are the devil’s spawn because…” – “Conservatives are […]
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess… Yes, that is one kind of story. But that is not what I mean by the title of this post. Stories are everywhere.

Hello, everyone, and a Happy Easter this weekend to those who celebrate! Since it has been ages (yet again) since I have posted, let me give you a quick rundown of what’s been up. Unfortunately, not much. 2017 ended on a high note, but so far 2018 seems to be a series of minor disappointments […]
After a long battle with dementia, my father-in-law passed peacefully in his sleep very early yesterday morning. He was a wonderful, kind, generous, and loving man.
