Happy Sunday, Readers! If you happen to be reading this on a day other than Sunday, when this post went live, please insert whichever day it is for your own Timeline. I want to talk to you today about something I saw earlier in the week that brought me a great deal of joy – …
Happy Sunday Readers! First, let me apologize for hitting you with Cliché so early in the week. Second, in this post, I am by no means disparaging hard work. Writing, indeed any creative endeavor is hard work – that’s not what I’m getting at here. I used to tackle any job just like the word …
Happy Sunday (Or whichever day it is that you happen to be reading this) Everyone! Here we are, at the penultimate day of January, 2022. How are you doing? Are you crushing those goals you set for 2022 yet? Been absolutely flawless in all those sweeping changes you declared you’d make, (way) back on the …
I woke up on Friday morning to the news that Marvin Lee Aday had passed away. If you don’t recognize the name – and I confess that I didn’t know the man’s name at the time – then you might recognize his stage name: Meat Loaf. There was a time, waaaay back when, this guy …

2021 was a bit of a year, wasn’t it? For me, it was a rebuilding year. Part of that rebuilding was tearing down – not quite literally. There were some health issues which put me off my feet for a few months and had me reacting to life up until, say the final quarter of …
The first draft of this post was massive. Now if you’ve ever seen the early drafts of my work – “Short” stories included – this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but I’d raised the bar even for me. I found myself talking about *Everything* including deeply personal stuff, better set down in a personal journal- …
From the title of this post, I can tell that there are some of you who are going to reel back in surprise saying, “That sounds suspiciously like math is going to happen. Who are you, and what have you done with Ken??” Trust me, nothing’s happened – and there won’t be any math involved. …
Today, Reader, I’d like to talk about something that I thought I’d try doing and how it led me to write the three most awkward words I’ve written in a long time. In the ongoing work to improve my overall Happiness, I started writing little “Thank You” notes to my Past Self. It started out …
