Run Out

The best advice I can give. Run Out. Run out of excuses. Run out of fear. Run out of pretenses. Run out of patience for people who don’t treat you right. Run out of comfort with things that are smaller than you are. Run out of things that numb your feelings. Run out and find …

2022.

My New Year’s Resolution: To not relive the same year, over again. I don’t know if it will be “happy,” but by God, it will be new. New standards. New boundaries. New confidence. New patterns. New habits. New rules. New faith. Same me. Same game. New way of playing it. Starting with me. New ways. …

Rest In Peace

The tragedy about reaching eternity, is the ones you leave behind have to figure it out. All the years you held it together, held us in your hands, and you never let us go. And now, we can’t give you even the kindness of letting you Rest In Peace. It feels selfish, like when I …

Alone

Sometimes, I just need to be alone with my pen. For then, I am not alone at all. I am in the company of everyone I ever knew, And I am everywhere I have ever been. And I get to travel back there And speak with them again, laugh again And bring them back to …

Through the Motions

I think sometimes we love someone so much because of who they were. And sometimes, we love someone so much because of who we were when we were with them. And if you have to say goodbye, it feels like you’re saying goodbye to your favorite version of you, too. We moved around a lot, …

The Winds of Nothing

I find myself in the middle of a certain season, and looking back, I can’t place exactly when the wind starting blowing. I know that I had a good stretch of nothing- nothing went wrong. Weekends were spent doing nothing. Nothing really to worry about. But my anxious mind can’t let good be good enough. …

Timing

Isn’t life funny sometimes? Tonight, I gave the best budget workshop of my career, at a higher level than I ever have, better than I ever have, and in a place that really needed it. I also never wanted to do it. I used to do this sort of thing, for a bigger company, for …

Family Parenting Psyche Wonderings

Glimmers

When I started this website ten years ago, I called it “Glimmers”. Let me tell you why that made sense. Because at twenty-something, I could only see glimmers of truth. We did so much to keep ourselves busy, to distract ourselves. We stayed so busy, it drowned out most of reality, most of the truth. …

Magic Eye

Sometimes, life to me feels like the old Magic Eye posters. I had a whole book of them. I remember it was dark red, paperback, with a slick cover. I remember the feel of it in my hands. I guess I spent a lot of time looking at those posters. I would stare at each …

I AM…

Why do we spend so much time letting other people decide what we are and what we’re not? Why do we spend so much of our mental energy believing them? Our opinion of us has to be greater than the opinions of others, and so much more important. Only you hold the power to be, …
