Whenever I see my reflection, I pause for a moment and think “Who am I?” The answer has always eluded me. Am I the me others perceive based on their own experiences and expectations? But I am also other. Step back; forget what was; let go of expectation. Be the observer. Ask again. Who am […]
Draw a rabbit hole. “Huh?” is not an unreasonable response. Just do it. Don’t worry about art. Get yourself a piece of paper (which itself might be a challenge for some in this digital age) and draw yourself a rabbit hole. Make it big enough to put some words in. Done? Great. Look at your […]
I often dream of other mes, mes that are not me.These dreams make me wonder if I’m the me I’m meant to be? Perhaps I have it backwards, I am living the life I should,to allow all these other mes to be the mes they would. Perhaps my dreams are alternate mes, the mes of […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As I have mentioned a few times already, I have been devoting my time lately to learning 3D modelling and animation skills. I am learning these skills for both the pleasure of learning and the satisfaction inherent in creating. I have never sought expertise in anything. To me learning is an open-ended process.

I started this year’s A to Z Challenge with the sentence: “Every ending is a new beginning.” In that post (Z end in Z beginning), I chose to make my version of the challenge Z to A. Today is the last day of this particular journey. In other words: I am ending at the beginning. […]
As I have proceeded through this year’s challenge, I have started several stories that could easily be expanded upon. I may or may not do so, depending on my motivation level. However, yesterday I started another bit of fun that I already had some more to add to. Since today is C day for me, […]
All abodes, from a simple tent to the greatest of castles, have at least one thing in common. No matter how organized the inhabitants, there will ALWAYS be a spot (maybe several) where things that can’t seem to find a place to belong will gather. In these spots, one will find bits of this and […]
I often say that my life is governed by irony. I may not be unique in this, but it is definitely a defining characteristic of the choices I am faced with in my journey through life. It has become such a driving force for me that I would almost be at a loss if irony […]
