Turn the Page

I don’t know if it’s just me that needs to hear this today, or if you – Reader – need to hear it today too. You are the Author of your own story and, as such, you can – at any time – turn to a new page and write something new. I know. That …

Quick Update

So, if I have learned anything over the course of the most recent holiday season, I have learned some things: Time is a construct, and if you don’t pay attention to it, it’ll slip through your mental fingers. This is not a bad thing, to be honest. I think we could all do with a …

Rest is Not a Reward

The Wheel of Time Changes

I am an Autumn person. No, I’m not one of Ray Bradbury’s Autumn People from “Something Wicked This Way Comes”=…” Though how good was Jonathon Pryce as Mr. Dark? Go ahead, watch it.
