How many recycled thoughts versus novel thoughts do I have in a day? I can’t know the answer, but I hope it leans toward the creative and one-of-a-kind side. Do you know what never gets old? The stars in the sky. Over the bright light of my laptop screen, Monster’s University, an animation, is playingContinue reading “Side Eye”

Tick Tock
Ideas pitch themselves at me like groupies trying to get backstage for a concert. “Hold up, hold up,” I say, hands pumping them back. “Nobody’s getting let in tonight.” Some protest, others sulkily turn away, and a portion questions my authority and calls me names. But so you know, I heard you: Idea: Talk aboutContinue reading “Tick Tock”
Reflections Of You And Me
As with any discipline, writing daily hasn’t always been easy. There are good days, bad days, and in-between days. Today’s post marks 50 day’s blogging in a row! Also, out of 2022’s 85 days, I’ve only missed two. But who’s counting, right?! I’d like to reflect on my time here so far, so reflect IContinue reading “Reflections Of You And Me”
Breaking Bad’s Barrier
I’m at a loss on what to write about tonight, so perhaps I’ll start with the weather: It rained like crazy today. Oh, but then the sun broke through. For a moment. Then it vanished. I recall it raining a bunch more. And oddly enough the sun came again. But not to fear, it’s rainingContinue reading “Breaking Bad’s Barrier”
Stick With It
My mother’s memory shook her disapproving head at the amount of shampoo I placed on my hand and lathered into my hair moments ago. Were you also taught not to be wasteful in specific areas of the household? It’s funny how those tidbits stick with you. And how, even though I’m a million light-years awayContinue reading “Stick With It”
You, The Creator
With the skill of an artist’s touch on canvas, or a piece of fabric, or a block, or a blank page, something emerges, something within expressed outwardly, as if by magic. I’m no magician, but sometimes when the moon is in its waxing phase, and all the children are resting soundly in their beds, IContinue reading “You, The Creator”
Perspectivity
Do you ever try to convince yourself you don’t care about something when actually you do? I’m notorious for doing this, I notice my clients do this, and I can imagine you do it too. For example, I noticed the number of views for my post from yesterday. That the number was small I hadContinue reading “Perspectivity”
Come A Little Closer
Eh, or is it ay? Happy Family’s Day to all of the Canadian’s out there! It only took playing a bit of virtual poker this afternoon with someone from Toronto, otherwise known as a Torontonian, to clue me in on my border neighbor’s lovely holiday. So I watched “Coda” like I said I would. AndContinue reading “Come A Little Closer”
Just Right Rambly
“Listen as your day unfolds. Challenge what the future holds. Try and keep your head up to the sky.” Have you ever heard a song play at a weird time, and although it is likely random, feels like it’s divine intervention or from a psychic portal from beyond? Yeah? Me too. The drive from workContinue reading “Just Right Rambly”
Virtual Insanity
You don’t want to write right now. The thought puts its arm around my shoulder, all buddy-buddy-like, pushing me to do anything but open my laptop. I prefer to put the two-plus hours in the passenger seat to good use, but the thought is onto something, so blankly, I stare out the window at theContinue reading “Virtual Insanity”
