It is a simple fact that no destination can be reached if we do not at least take one step towards it. Often that first step is the hardest. But it also the most important one. No journey can be undertaken until we actually CHOOSE to undertake it. I have been hiding from the world for a few years […]
Time to warm up the brain again with another 100 Word Challenge. Here goes: The sound of the rushing water was an evocative background as the River Guide addressed his brood of travelers. Dark storm clouds on the horizon promised an untoward shift in the journey plans. The air was thick with warning. With a […]
Can you feel the pull? My sister is creating a magical being capable of revealing how our stories intertwine. The Storyteller invites all to sit around the campfire; to join her in entering the realm of possibility. Not only does this open my soul’s eyes to future possibilities, but it is bringing back past stories as well. […]
I want to be able to move the world!! I want my creations to move people to smile; to laugh; to tears. I want to be able to make someone think. To make someone say, “Yes, that is it!” I want someone to see what I create and miss it when it is gone. I know that […]

If you can’t see the bright side to life … polish the dull side! I encountered this as I was doing my daily dose of avoiding life on one of my FB addictions. The universe has a way of sneaking up on you and slapping you upside the head when you least expect it. And usually […]
I took a walk today. I thought I knew where I was going, but about half way there I realized that I did not really know why I wanted to go there. So I took a left. Walked a few dozen feet and took a left again. I have been on this road before, but […]
After simmering in my own stew for the last couple of day (oooh what an appetizing image that must create), I have lots of thoughts that need sorting. Writing is one of my fundamental ways of doing just that. I find that my best writing just happens. I am the mere conduit for words that wish to be read. They are […]
My mind is troubled today. Troubled in the way of a placid lake on a windy day. There are waves on my serenity. Apparently I think differently than most people. I tend to think in patterns, when most are focused on details. Because of this, I have a holistic view of reality. I believe everything is interconnected on some […]
