Happy Sunday (or whenever you’re reading this) Friends. This week’s post needs to be a short one. Not because I’m under any kind of Time constraint, though. It’s just that there’s a beautiful day outside my window and I need to step away from the world for a while and, go out into it. So …
Pruning: The practice entails the targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted plant material from crop and landscape plants. There are two primary times of the year where I turn an introspective eye on my life. I acknowledge that I should probably do this more often than twice a year, but those two times are the turn of …
Happy Sunday Readers! This is going to be a quick one because there’s still stuff I want to get done before I run out of weekend, and “Relax” covers most of the real estate on the list. So gather round the fire, and hark ye well. Phrases like “Take Care of yourself” and “I don’t …
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 …
I ran across this idea from a Twitter post from Alethia Kontis and it’s all about showing gratitude toward your past self.

I wanted to take a moment to interrupt the flow of the blog for a second. First, before I do and do that, I want to say that I hope you’re all safe and well out there and you’re all doing the best you can. And I realize that’s not going to mean the same …
Well it sure has been a week, hasn’t it? I hope you’re all safe and well on your way to adjusting to the new normal. There’s been quite a bit of shake-up around the world lately and it’s had an effect on all our lives. Myself, I’m working remotely until the turn of the month …
This time last weekend, I was at Balticon. I had the entire day, more or less to myself, programming for me having ended with a great panel discussion (I was the moderator – so my opinions on how it went are my own, but I think it went well) about the past 25 years of …
Happy Friday Everyone!! We made it! I don’t mind saying that this week has been a bit of a train wreck. I’m feeling self-induced pressure to produce. It’s not like I haven’t been working, but it’s been a struggle. And I really need to work on planning and balancing things. And I’m still all over …
