[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The primary reason I took up this challenge this year was to get myself back in touch with my inner spirit. I needed to remind myself that no matter how dark things might appear … as long as there are those who continue to create, the darkness will never be complete. I also needed to […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] My Head was Having a Horrible time coming up with an H post, so I resorted to trying to make a picture. Here it is … an attempt at a Hydra.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. There is little doubt of the truth of this observation … at least for those who pay attention. I believe that we can rearrange the words a bit and express another, more subtle truth:[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][blockquote align=”center” width=”600″] Windows are the eyes of the […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Why is it not acceptable to blame easy access to guns for gun violence, but it IS acceptable to blame women for the rape of women? Why is it frequently the same people having those conflicting thoughts? Why do (again often the same) people find blaming lack of prayer in schools is a valid explanation, but […]
We were the only ones up. Everyone was asleep in the shelter. He had let us sleep in a bit, but we had a big day ahead of us, so it was time to get moving. With a hint of a smile, he motioned for me to be quiet as he grabbed the bag of […]

But instead of my usual rant (though I do have a bit of rant to share), maybe for a change I will have words that will ultimately bring hope and positive thoughts into […]

Or do we make it all up as we move along? These are questions many wrestle with. These questions are lately the core of my OWN path. […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ‘Twas the night after Thanksgiving, when all through the land, Rabid creatures were stirring, the time for shopping was at hand; The lines began building outside the stores, In hopes that shoppers would be first through the doors; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While parents began proving they were wrong […]
As many have noticed (and I probably have said myself many times), I do not live a “traditional” life. I never have. Once, I would have said my life has been one adventure after another, with periods of stagnation of varying size in between. Others might view it differently, with me be anything from a […]
