When to write? The writer’s timeless question. When inspiration sparks, thus the common, obvious answer. So often of late, the mind can’t wait, awakened and then swiftly, the churning begins. What transactions to do, how must tasks for these final days of the year be prioritized? What to tell the kids? When should I trim …

Flex
When I was a kid, adolescent really, I lifted weights. I was an athlete, among other things, and understood I needed to be stronger to better compete. And so in that adolescent athlete world, we’d talk about “flexing” your muscles. But that’s not what this post is about. It’s about being flexible; and I don’t …
Down This Path
Down this path I walk in love. It’s a path I didn’t choose. But I choose love anyway. Why? Because God is near. Everyday. And especially this season, this time of year, God is near. And I feel it, and I know it, and I will walk with Him, with Her, I will walk in …
SINK
Let it sink in. The efforts, the lessons, the smiles. The struggles, the pain, the doubt. The hope, the belief, the sense of what’s right, the calm, the certainty of God being near. Let it inform how you think, feel, act. Let it sink in. To your bones. LOVE. Let it sink in.
Earlier Is Better
My grandpa was the first one I knew who got up early. He rose around 5am most mornings. I never understood, as a kid. I LOVE to sleep. But now I have little kids. Plenty of early mornings on that front; at least used to be. And now with work (mostly), it's up earlier and …
“A Place to Write”, from Seth’s Blog
Having a place and a means of doing so. Writing. Ease makes all the difference. I've had this blog for about six years. I wrote sporadically for the first several years; I became more committed to the frequency after reading Fred Wilson's blog. @avc. Fred writes there every day. It inspired me. So I committed …
Nature Finds A Way
“Nature finds a way.” This line from Jurassic Park rings true for me. We humans, like most all of the 7.8 billion on the planet, don’t think much day-to-day about the natural world around us. I don’t say this to disparage; life is busy and hard often times, so we likely are distracted a lot …

Super Power?
What if what you thought was your greatest liability actually your super power instead? I think that’s it. That’s the post. Think about it. #halffullallgood
Access for All
This catch-phrase might seem pie-in-the-sky. Surely not everyone can be on the same footing, have the same access to resources. Maybe not. But part of the American (global?) society I believe in and strive to move forward is in basic areas, there should be access for all. Clean water. Sanitation. Healthy food sources. Basic education. …
