To build some consistency into my writing habits, I said to myself in late July 2020, “I bet I could write a blog post every day from August through October. I did the math: 31 days plus 30 plus 31 equals 92. And thus was born my 92-day challenge. If you search the internet, youContinue reading “The Starting Line”

Becoming Full
Full made a splash and then stopped selling. Or I tossed it in the water and watched the splash and then stopped talking about it. The book is really three small collections around themes that are important to me: the human need to create, the freedom and uniqueness of each individual soul, and the encouragementContinue reading “Becoming Full”
Where angels dance
