Two things are going on in this post. One is that I signed up for the #30day10k writing challenge though the Writing at the Red House group, and as such, am committed to a whole lot of writing this month; but I'm not really feeling my manuscript today, so a blog post it is. The… Continue reading A Personal Growth Post (i.e. a semi-coherent brain dump)

I'm a lover of art, books, music, and humanity. I'm a hopeless optimist, and believe that there can be good found in just about anything if you're willing to do the work to look for it.
It’s Time to Just Start Writing the Damn Book Already
In the months since I resigned from my teaching position to "discover how I am meant to serve," and write a book, I have done exactly zero in the area of writing. Actually, that's not entirely true - I have journaled a bit, but nothing coherent, and definitely not anything I would want to include… Continue reading It’s Time to Just Start Writing the Damn Book Already
A Brief Recap as We Prepare to Move Forward
When first I abandoned this site, it was but a wee baby blog with a few scratch the surface posts and a handful of views. Shortly after the world went crazy in March, I put the whole thing (and most everything else in life that wasn't essential for pure survival) aside and went on full… Continue reading A Brief Recap as We Prepare to Move Forward
Coming Soon…
I have done this site a huge disservice. There are no fewer than 4 posts in draft form that will likely never see the light of day. I've recently been reflecting on what I want my site to be, and while I still want this to be a place focused on social justice and personal… Continue reading Coming Soon…
It’s the End of the World as We Know It
And if you feel fine, you either heavily delusional, or you are a much better adjusted person than 99% of the population - myself included. Seriously, what in the actual hell is happening? Two weeks ago, I was on Spring Break at a ski resort in Colorado with my family, hearing about this new virus… Continue reading It’s the End of the World as We Know It
I’m on a Launch Team… Whatever that means
Let me introduce you to my best friend, Jen Hatmaker. I've never actually met Jen, so she doesn't know we're best friends, but we have so much in common that if we ever do actually meet in person, I'm pretty sure it'll be a BFF at first sight kind of situation. I honestly cannot remember… Continue reading I’m on a Launch Team… Whatever that means
Because I Gotta Have Faith
Let me just start by saying that if you didn't read that title in song, I might not be the person you need in your life. You'll figure out pretty quickly that I often reference songs, books, and movies; and if you can't get on board with that, well then I'm not sure you can… Continue reading Because I Gotta Have Faith
Greetings and Salutations
Hello! Welcome to my corner of the internet! I like to picture it as a tiny, broom closet sized space tucked in to the corner of an enormous building; easily overlooked, but home. It's a safe, judgement free space; cozy, warm, and inviting; and all are welcome here. I'll serve tea, or coffee, or wine,… Continue reading Greetings and Salutations
