Not sure who scribbled this one together, but it’s gone viral, and more important, it’s GOOD. “I'm vaccinated and, no, I don't know what's in it - neither this vaccine, the ones I had as a child, nor in the Big Mac, or in hot dogs, or in other treatments…whether it's for cancer, AIDS, the …

Anxiety: In the Darkness
Funny thing thinking about, writing about anxiety. I see different angles at different times. No surprise, really. That's how anxiety works; that's how our life experience works. Anxiety is part of it. Sure it can be overwhelming, crippling, devastating, even deadly...but then again, it's just part of life too. I don't experience it in a …
Anxiety: Shape Shifter
It ebbs and flows, anxiety. It’s a fluid, dynamic thing. Sometimes it washes over; other times it laps laps laps gently on the shore. It can turn violent in an instant, that’s my experience. Anxiety is a shape shifter; it comes in the darkness, finding its way to your demise. How can it optimize it’s …
Anxiety: Constant Reminder
Anxiety is a constant reminder. At 3:00am it pops up. Thoughts churn. What is simmering on my mental back-burner? Those things are in the slow-cooker of my anxiety. It’s a revolving menu. Let them cook.
Blog Like A Tweet
Sometimes maybe short and sweet is preferred. A simple thought, something comes to mind, share out, voila, done. Using this blog platform for that sort of daring little write, it feels just right. A little twist, nugget, feel it, rub it, smooth, fun, good, GOOD.

Consider Your Socks
I consider my socks often, most work day mornings. Tho’ few people ever see them, my choice each day helps me set the tone. I like fun socks. Consider them. Simple pleasure, last a long time, joy repeated again and again. GOOD.
Why Write, To Blog
I think I’ve talked about this before, why I write and more important, why some of that writing — most these days — ends up here. It’s simple. This is me. These thoughts and creativity are my outreach to the universe, to put Jeff out there, Authentically me. So that’s what you get, Authentically me, …
Slog Through
Some days, weeks, longer, Feels like we’re slogging through. Keep a little smile on the face, head down to the grindstone, thankful for what we have, Undertone though? Slogging through, legs heavy, thick on your mind, in the back, Slow go. It’s this very time, each time, to stop the slide, To pause and give …
#Afghanistan
The Taliban militias are over-running Afghanistan as the US military draws down. The people of that country deserve better. "We don't count because we're from Afghanistan. We'll die slowly in history" Tears of a hopeless Afghan girl whose future is getting shattered as the Taliban advance in the country. @AlinejadMasih @FForotan
