As someone who appreciates AI’s support, I couldn’t help but turn to it when I found myself in a situation. In the “Send a message” line, I simply wrote, “Write me a blog post about not wanting to write a blog post.” Let’s see what the AI came up with! As a writer, there areContinue reading “Muse Takes a Break”

Take It To The Limit
So here I am, sitting down to write this blog post while savoring spoonfuls of creamy Cookie Butter spread. The delightful taste of graham crackers combined with the smoothness of peanut butter makes it the perfect remedy for a long, challenging week. As I indulge in this delicious treat, my mind wanders to a recentContinue reading “Take It To The Limit”
Still Frame
I am relieved to have found a community of people who understand the overwhelming sensation that comes when confronted with very large things. After a recent session with a client discussing an 8,000-foot deep mine in South Dakota, I felt compelled to delve deeper into the subject. My internet search led me to a RedditContinue reading “Still Frame”
The Bright Side
You know, I can totally relate to Alexander from the book “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” Just like him, I sometimes feel like sharing my miseries with the world, hoping to gain some sympathy. So, bear with me as I pour out my woes and struggles on this virtual readerContinue reading “The Bright Side”
Running Down A Dream
Somewhere between the homemade guacamole, the smell of barbecuing shish kebabs, and reconnecting in the backyard with my friend Lindsay and her family, the dark cloud that hung overhead moved on. It was a refreshing moment, a break from the heaviness that had been weighing me down. I had recently deprioritized learning Spanish after downloadingContinue reading “Running Down A Dream”
Superhero Hank
Hank the camel is quite the guy. At 23 years old, he’s visited more of the country than most. Bought from an exotic animal auction in Missouri, he made his way to a zoo in the Pacific Northwest where he gave rides for ten years before being bought by a farm in Spanaway. I metContinue reading “Superhero Hank”
Fame Shame
I’m typically the reliable number two, the sidekick who falls in line. Today, as we entered the third hour of our six-hour house painting session, I found myself grateful for my Dad’s guiding role. Little did I know how much I needed it, as for the first two hours, my brush seemed to have aContinue reading “Fame Shame”
The Beast Beneath
An after-taco dinner stroll along the beach, just Dad and me. We covered three miles, engaging in sporadic conversations and relishing moments of tranquil silence. When it comes to writing, I often find myself caught in a push-pull dance. Sometimes I’m unsure of what to write about, while other times I resist putting anything downContinue reading “The Beast Beneath”
Golden Growth
Breakfast time hasn’t even arrived, and already Evelyn’s asking me for candy and a movie. As usual, I kindly decline her requests. But she’s absolutely thrilled at the idea of bringing chocolate chips for show and tell, representing the delightful “ch” sound of the day. So many things have this incredible golden glow like theContinue reading “Golden Growth”
My Friend, Jesse
On my way to snag a free Patio design book—I mean, who can resist Buy Nothing’s awesome giveaways?—I decided to give my old pal Jesse a ring. Surprisingly, instead of a text, he actually called me back. It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least. Jesse and I go way back, all the wayContinue reading “My Friend, Jesse”
