Well hi again! It’s officially the end of the FIRST QUARTER of 2025. Which is … wild, right? I’m not entirely sure how that happened, honestly. It feels like just yesterday we were talking about SETTING goals for the year and now we’re wrapping up the first quarter. Weird how that happens. Anyway, the end... Continue Reading →
This month one of my goals was to dig into the idea journal and look for inspiration. I'm going to be needing a new work-in-progress here shortly and that's usually where I start.

Whew, was anyone else starting to get worried that I would drop the ball on this poetry challenge so early into the year? No, just me? Alright, fair. You all have more faith in me than I do, apparently. You'll remember I've challenged myself to get back into writing more poetry in 2025. I kept... Continue Reading →

Hi friends, welcome back! We’ve made it through another month and another quarter of 2024. We are rapidly approaching the time when I will need to think about goals for 2025 … but I’m not there yet. Instead, join me for a quick overview of how September went. I’ll likely also take a look at... Continue Reading →
Happy September, everyone! September is supposed to signal the start of autumn here in the US. Of course, that isn’t typically true for us here in the desert southwest. We have to wait at least another month for anything even approaching normal temperatures. Actually, this has been a record breaking summer for us here in... Continue Reading →
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. We have actual words being written, folks.
