Ok, SO…. I just wrote a very long post accepting the awards that I’ve been nominated for, but, somehow it was all deleted. SO.. here I go again! I’ve only had this blog up and running for about a month and a half. During this time I’ve been nominated for four awards, all more than […]
They are beautiful. Light shining through time; timeless light. Heavenly bodies placed in accord to my wishes. They shine, glow, pulse and emit radiant light. The stars are truly a peephole into the mind and heart. They reflect what we already know, and what we have yet to contemplate. The sphere of stars is a […]
“In order to scratch the surface, you must first find the surface, then forge the tool to scratch it.” ~J. Parker Bench Here, I plan to go deep into the rabbit-hole. Follow if you can. Not much thought is ever given to riding the wave. The wave is metaphor. […]

On old Cherokee proverb states “Do not let yesterday use up too much of today.” This simple bit of wisdom can go a long way when understood properly. Particularly when traveling the sphere of regret. Regret comes to us in many forms; from simple wishes on decisions we should have made, to hindsight on important […]
