If you were to ask me, I would tell you that moving is fun. You might not agree. Hear me out. A little over three months ago, I moved to a temporary place and about 80% of my belongings went into a storage locker. My lovely kitties went to stay with a friend. I … Continue reading Purge
Rest
*Sigh.* Have you ever stretched yourself so incredibly thin that you become frazzled and frustrated at even the smallest things? To the point where you’re no longer effective but counterproductive, and those you adore giving attention to, you don’t even notice? It is a TERRIBLE place to be! Ugh! In our workhorse American society, … Continue reading Rest

Enjoy How do you start your morning? Here's a thought for you: is there a way we can start each day. And go throughout the entire day, enjoying everything we do?

Workaholism

BUT at what point do we realize that we have been going about finding it the wrong way? Do the ends always justify the means? Or do the means always … Continue reading Workaholism
Isolation
Isolation I sit at this restaurant at the only table that has an outlet that I can charge my laptop at while I work on a few things. I am working .. but not. What was utter exhaustion earlier has turned into utter inspiration after fulfilling my appetite with cabbage-seafood- and vegetable stir-fry and … Continue reading Isolation
Warrior
Warrior You cannot keep a fighter from fighting. They long for the battle, the fight, the challenge. They long to conquer. To overcome. For victory. If they aren’t fighting, they are bored. And if they're bored, they're getting in trouble. Truth? The longer that I live, the more that I realize that not everyone is … Continue reading Warrior
