Day Ninety of 365 – When We Worship the Word
Today marks Day Ninety of my 365 day writing challenge. I am approximately 1/4 of the way there!I have challenged myself to write a thought, brief post or article every day for the entire year of 2017. Although there have been days I’ve come close to falling short of my commitment, I am grateful to […]
Day Eighty-Nine of 365 – Writing a New Story!
Do you ever become weary of the story you live? Do you ever wish that things would change in ways that would give you more control over your future? Do you ever wonder what keeps you running head on into the same obstacles over and over again? What if there were a book or story […]
Day Eight-Eight of 365 – On Becoming a Victim of Self!
We live in a day and time when speaking one’s mind tends to serve as a badge of privilege. We have the “right” to make any of our thoughts – ALL of our thoughts – known to the public via multiple media platforms. We tend to believe that our “right” to loose our thoughts on an […]
Day Eighty-Seven of 365 – A Question of Time!
A Question of Time! “Time Heals!” We’ve all heard that short phrase. We have perhaps even used it when seeking to comfort someone struggling with some sort of loss or disappointment. What if I were to tell you that “Time Does NOT Heal!”? How would you react? Would you argue that it does? Would you […]
Day Eighty-Six of 365 – What To Do About the “IT” Factor!
IT! You know what I mean, right? No, no, no . . . Not THAT IT (Information Technology)! And for those of you who have a warped sense of humor, I’m not referring to the “Cousin” kind either! The “IT” to which I refer is the one with which you find yourself dealing today! The […]
Day Eighty-Three of 365 – Darkness Begets Light

How often do we attempt to drive out the darkness found in another using only […]
Day Eighty-One of 365 – “Go On! I Dare You! Take A Stand!”
This particular snippet has its genesis in a couple of separate yet parallel pieces I’ve published in another place in the past. After reviewing these two thoughts, I felt compelled to combine them into one complete article. On this Eighty-First day of my 365 day writing challenge, I find myself drawn once again, to clarifying […]
Day Seventy-Six of 365 – “Something Always Comes Along!”
Seventy-six days ago I embarked on what sometimes feels like an impossible journey. Seventy-six days ago I committed to write something (hopefully something of significance) every day for a whole year. I must admit that there have been a few days when I thought that my quest would end. Thus far, however, something has […]
Day Seventy-Two of 365 – The Lies We Believe
I have been thinking quite a bit lately about lies. Lies are everywhere! They come in all shapes and sizes and from people from all walks of life. Lies are told for numerous reasons. Lies are softened from time to time. Lies come in various forms – bald-faced; white; outright and compulsive. There are lies […]
Day Seventy-One of 365 – When Life Overwhelms
Wading in waist deep gulf or ocean water can have a tremendous calming effect. Losing yourself in the undulations of a serene surf can create a sense of peace and tranquility. All of this is great until the ocean’s other personality asserts itself. You know what I mean. Without warning, a “rogue wave” appears from […]
