There’s something in the air the week. It feels like a week of rapid transformation. Or deterioration. Or both. If I were to lay it all out, you wouldn’t believe the shit I’ve been facing. And it’s only Thursday. In general, I feel that I am a pretty selfless person. But man…this week…it’s been allContinue reading “Strength, insecurity, dignity, grace, fear, faith…all the bloody things”

Stalled out
A long time ago, I had a car that I lovingly called the blue bomb. Friends gave her to me. It was a beater Subaru…banged up door, years past its prime. I was thankful for the blue bomb.

Sometimes it still doesn’t feel like a real job. I love the consultation part of my life. Planning, executing and seeing the end results are veryContinue reading “Ambiguity”

The other night someone asked me why I’m not dating. I didn’t know how to answer. I always stumble on these questions. It was a really short conversation, but it made an impact. The answer lay within me…of this I’m sure. I’ve spent time making up excuses, but I’ve come to the realization that IContinue reading “One track mind”
