Rainbow

On a recent flight, I looked out the window and saw that we were flying past a gorgeous rainbow. Unfortunately, my phone was off and in my bag, and by the time I dug it out and turned it on, this photo was all I could capture. A little fragment was left. A mere slice … Continue reading Rainbow →

Reawakened

So, I'm going to be honest for a second. I've been in a bit of a slump when it comes to writing. It happens. It's not an unusual phenomenon for writers and other creative folk. Except this time, none of my go-to methods for sparking inspiration have worked. I sit down to write and... nothing … Continue reading Reawakened →

Thumbs

We all have flaws. I am a flawed being, and, though I consider myself relatively good at admitting to and aspiring to mend my flaws, there are some I cannot change because they are a part of me. I am, of course, talking about my thumbs. I am the unfortunate bearer of what some may … Continue reading Thumbs →

Guilty

When the well of inspiration runs dry, there are a few methods that I utilize to get myself back on track. I have mentioned a few in previous posts, but I must admit, I have one trick that also counts as a "guilty pleasure" of sorts... When I get stuck, and the creative juices simply … Continue reading Guilty →

Current Tunes #4

Judah and the Lion - Suit and Jacket One of my local radio stations has recently gone from mainstream pop to alternative and indie rock, and this great song is one discovery I've made thus far. The whole theme of not "trading my youth for no suit and jacket" while still grappling with matters of … Continue reading Current Tunes #4 →

The Dolphin Statue

Every day, on my way to work, I pass a house with a dolphin statue featured proudly in the front yard. It's a curious thing. I'm pretty sure it's made of wood. It's cute, and the dolphin looks friendly. But most of the time, when I glance out the window at it as I drive … Continue reading The Dolphin Statue →

Pancakes

For a very long time - like, half of my life - I hated pancakes. I refused to eat them, even at the annual pancake dinner fundraiser held at my church. The very thought of them - and their fluffy, syrupy goodness - made me feel nauseous. Same goes for waffles and any other similar … Continue reading Pancakes →

Stress

Stress is my mortal enemy. ...Well, stress and woodpeckers, but the former occurs far more frequently than the latter. I am always curious to know how others folks handle their stress, because I struggle with it and have yet to find a solution that sticks, especially now that I've more or less kicked my caffeine … Continue reading Stress →

Current Tunes

For a bit of a smaller post this Friday, I thought I'd take a moment to list some of the songs that feature on my current playlist and have helped to boost my motivation lately. Lauren Aquilina - Fools I only recently discovered this artist and am super bummed she doesn't make music anymore (performing-wise, … Continue reading Current Tunes →

Worth 1000 Words #10: Reese

On a Wednesday night in 2007, I received a cryptic text message from my older sister while watching the latest episode of Lost. The message contained only one word. Meow. Some time later, I was dozing off on the couch when my sister returned home and deposited something furry onto my lap. I opened bleary … Continue reading Worth 1000 Words #10: Reese →
