Spring = New Projects + Self-Care

Well, well, well… It’s been some time since I’ve written here and I’m kicking myself a bit. I used to love blogging; it was a great way to organize my thoughts, keep my writing brain firing on all cylinders and feel like I was informing the masses (the three of you who read this, haha) of all I’ve got going on. 2026 has been bolting right out of the gate and every time I sit down and think abo

Stephen  King
“Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.”
Stephen King

“Adventrue rewrites the routine of our lives and wakes us sharply from the comforts of the familiar. It allows us to see how vast the expanse of our experience. Our ability to grow is no longer linear but becomes unrestricted to any direction we wish to run.”
Josh Gates, Destination Truth: Memoirs of a Monster Hunter

Anthony Bourdain
“Maybe that’s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom...is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.”
Anthony Bourdain

“If you don't know history, then you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree. ”
Michael Crichton

Honoré de Balzac
“As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move…similes arise, the paper is covered. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle.”
Honoré de Balzac
