  • Be Adventurous

    Be Adventurous

    I think my declaration about the new “Be …” series (AKA “The Relentless Pursuit of Positivity”) gave me a spook. Why do I always try to pigeonhole myself? Just share the damn image (or even a short story) and be done with it! You don’t need to commit to an entire series! All that does…

    Be Strong

    “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” – Mahatma Gandhi – I’m on a new mission.

    Imaginary Urgency

    Long time no see! It seems like forever since I posted last. For me anyway. Which is why I got the idea for the title of my post. And part of my image as well. I mentioned before that I often catch myself rushing when I’m not even in a hurry, but I’m taking that…

  • Island Getaway

    Island Getaway

    “Hold onto something. This is gonna be wicked.” Gretta always exaggerated, so I didn’t take her warning seriously.  In hindsight, I almost wish I had. The tiny boat was tossed through the waves like a child’s toy, nearly capsizing, and it might have been fine if I had just held on.  But I hadn’t.  My…
