After MLK Jr. Day, after all the many situations and examples and tragedies that have been freshly brought to light of late around racial inequality, and the many things we need to do to change things for the better...

How Far? MLK Jr.
This is a day to remember many things. Where we started. Where we’ve been. How far we have to go. And of course, this man, Martin Luther King Junior, his words, his work, his inspiration. Especially after these recent years, and all the divides, I think I'm most hopeful that King's words only gain more …
Remote, Yet Close
Strange times, pandemic times we’re in, we’re living, so much has changed on so many levels. We’re restricted from each other for school, for work, for worship. Fundamental to most faiths, the worship therein, we’re meant to come together, have a sense of the come together, can’t be together in-person just now. Screens and social …
Down the Street
End of the week, looking down the street. Weekend here, feel the beat. Make the best of it, Lift it up, Let things slow, Feel a little more, Still lots to do, One thing at a time, And breath deep, deep, Deep down, don’t frown, Smile, smile, looking down the street.
Change Up
A little like a pitcher to a catcher, right by the batter, WIFF! My older daughter applied that sorta magic earlier today, when my son was going sideways. It was super to watch, super thankful was I for the magic. I had run up against it, unable to sway his mood, still looking at a …
Lyrics Post: “Lovin’ Every Minute of It”

Busy Brain
This little episode comes to from the middle of the night. Yep, awoken by my busy brain just before 1:00am, capturing the moment to share a few thoughts. Mind you, I just went to bed three hours ago, intent on getting a good night’s rest to start the week. Hmm. Didn’t plan on this little …
Inspiration Everywhere: Nick Chubb, Running Back, Cleveland Browns Football Team
Baller. Grinder. Fun to watch. Brings it on every down. Inspired player. Pretty quick, all these thoughts came rushing in when I watched the Cleveland Browns game Sunday night. Nick Chubb was inspiring, the way he ran. And it came to mind, gotta share that simple thought: be inspired by the simplest of things. I …

Inspiration Everywhere: An Occasional Series
One of the main purposes of this blog is to further positive feelings, vibes, attitudes. Through snippets, tales, stories, recaps, I look to show and share the good, even in situations that sometimes don’t seem so positive on the face of it. When I was a kid I used to read the weekly magazine, Sports …

Soaked In Joy
So many little things filled the day, many little steps, along the way. Planned on a little work, set aside for life, after life, after in stride, fit in the work, later. And so it was, Pancakes, A walk with kids and dogs, Laundry times three, A little football, Kids playing in the front until …
