Just got a 'note' from my editor (like I have one....well not yet anyway)..."This whole damn thing needs a rewrite; all 65yrs." Over the weekend I engaged in a writing 'assignment'. I made a list of 100 moments that occurred in my life. Just a sentence or 2 for each. As I wrote I noticed, [...]
3Easy Steps Partner Tell me this guy hasn’t figured ‘IT’ out... Step One: You don’t get to be ‘special’...you get to be ‘precious’, but my friend you ain’t all that unique even though you’re one-of-a-kind. Step Two: Live fully expressed...To thine own self be true. Step Three: Make sure what you’re ‘up to’ is bigger [...]
WE RISE... Life, God, Spirit, Father/Mother keep calling and continue to make my way clear. This project that is beating my heart, Light In A Spoon is in a cocoon of preparation. It requires ME to be in the chrysalis as well. It seems as though I am being rewired from the inside out (with [...]
I am pretty sure I've shared a bit of my journey as a recovering alcoholic...the up the downs...and, sometimes the sideways twists and turns that life has taken. As a member of the recovery community, I have a tendency to feel 'special and unique; different than my brothers and sisters who don't share a predisposition [...]
.......I walked into a room on a Sunday morning to listen to a talk. I 'met' the words on the screen with a 'knowing'. A name, a beautiful face, a tender passionate woman stood in my mind's eye and I KNEW this was for her. For me to share this with her. For me to [...]

I thought love was the usher-us-into-Jerry McGuire world. You know "You complete me"..."You had me at hello" and we go on [...]
Why the hell would I care if at this age I could dream? What difference can I make....what difference can YOU make? Hmm, I care because, if I’ve not already arrived, at 61 I am rapidly approaching OLD…oh, who am I kidding, prior my generation I would have been considered old for a few years [...]
I don't know about you but I wake up most mornings with an expectation that today may hold, well a few pretty ordinary challenges...and for the most part I wake up into my own version of Groundhog's Day. HERE WE GO AGAIN... I grow familiar with how life should go and if I am honest, [...]
I am about to let you read an entry of my personal journal, Star Date, Aug 15, 2016...hmmm, can you say feeling vulnerable??? I'll bet you can. God, I am a writer. More specifically I am becoming a published author. I am conveying the wonderful/awfulness of life, the human condition, and the world through photography. [...]
Have you ever wondered what the hell you are doing with the life you've been given? And why does it seem "HARD"; even a bit pointless. I have wondered for the better part of 50 years...still do. Thank god the mud is settling and the water is beginning to clear. 1974 high school is ending [...]
