Day Twenty-Seven of 365 – The Present
Author’s note: I wrote this yesterday (the 27th) but was unable to publish it due to some sort of glitch in this publishing platform. I was frustrated because I thought I had lost my string of days, then I realized that my commitment was to WRITE for 365 days in a row, not necessarily publish. […]
Day Twenty Two of 365 – Something New, Part 3
Author’s Note: This is the third installment in my “short story in the making.” I am writing a short story and publishing it in segments. This is a new venture for me.

Day Twenty One of 365 – Your Presence, A Gift
Loss is a Universal Experience. Everyone everywhere loses someone or something of value at some point in life. In fact, we actually deal with multiple losses of various kinds rather routinely.

Day Nineteen of 365 – The Start of Something New, Pt. 2
Author’s Note: As part of my personal quest to publish one bit of writing per day for a whole year, I’ve decided to start something new. I’ve decided to mix in parts of a short story that I will add to from time to time. I won’t write end-on-end segments each day until it is […]

Day Seventeen of 365 – We Are Not Alone
At first glance, the title of this article might cast visions of an “X-Files” episode or serve as the headline announcing a UFO convention. As much as I am a fan of the X-Files, this title has nothing to do with flying saucers or Extra-terrestrial beings. It has, however, everything to do with a reality […]

Day Seven of 365 – What Might Happen If . . .
I often wonder what might happen if we were to choose one action over another. How might the outcome be different? What new insight might we gain? Take a few moments to ponder what might happen if we were to: Listen more than we talk? Give more than we take? Hug rather than push away? […]
Day Five of 365 – We Are The Ones
The Hopi (Native American) people have a proverb that bears serious consideration when thinking about responsibility. It says, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” Rather curious, don’t you think? “WE are the ones we have been waiting for!” How often in life do we wait for someone or something to come along […]
On The Edge . . .
More than any time in my life, I believe that our country stands on the edge of a precipice gazing down and into a dark pit. It is a pit that contains all that is troublesome and vexing – all of those demons buried deep in the collective psyche of “We the People” that we would rather […]
