It’s Almost Time! (A Sneak Preview)
Happy March, everyone! This is often my favorite month of the year — not just because of my birthday, but because March is when I published my first book (2017) and my second (2018).

Words Words Words
I’m obsessed with words. I work with words. I play with words. I spend my days almost endlessly converting my experiences and thoughts into conversations — with others, with myself, with the page.

One No, A Dozen Yeses
On the power of choices and the options they afford As I’m wont to mention ad nauseum lately, I quit my job a month ago.

You stopped, and everything continued to function as normal. You can just be and that’s what the world needs. The universeContinue reading “Limit(less)”
Tasting Menu
I chase away the silence with my words. I pretend that I want peace of mind, the great stillness of cosmic consciousness, but only after I attain my selfish pursuits. I dare to claim that these desires are the true intention of myself, that I am doing my purpose when I adhere to these impulses.Continue reading “Tasting Menu”
There Is No (Need For) Better
Standing on my deck this morning enjoying fresh-picked strawberries as the robins trilled in the rustling trees the sun laid a warm hand on my forearm and the tall grass swayed to the morning music of bird and breeze Would this moment be any better spent basking in a Tuscan field? Breathing Alpine perfumed air?Continue reading “There Is No (Need For) Better”
