Tr’Bani’s Bride

“What’s wrong with her?” a raspy voice spoke anxiously. “I can’t deliver her damaged!” Lynn’s limbs did not seem to want to listen, and her eyes wouldn’t open.  Panic was starting to set in.  A cold blast of air puffed under her prone body, and it felt as if she was on a giant grate. 

Everyone has a right to make an ass out of themselves

You can’t let the world judge you too much… Maude This weekend I watched Harold and Maude with my kids. It’s been many years since I have seen that movie, and those words still resonate with me. The last year and a half have been a journey of rediscovering my creative self. Many of my

The Soul of a Story

My attempt at a review Usually, when I sit down to write, it starts with a prominent and straight path. I have my idea, it is going to get on the page, in a great and exciting way, and then I’ll be done.  What ends up happening, however, is, I wander around in the woods,

A Letter to my Dad

Happy Fathers Day Dad, It has been a little over a year since you’ve gone, and I still miss you every day. I was never very good at putting my feelings in words. This is ironic because I am writing now. I just finished the first draft of my first book. This one hurts a

Setting an Intention

I like to begin each day practicing yoga. Does that mean I actually do it? No, but when I do, my day has a flow to it. Part of my practice includes setting an intention. I often use peace, calmness or serenity. It tends to be a bit cliche, but it works for me. Lately,

Its been a while…

Its been a while since I have posted anything thoughtful or otherwise. I’ve had the opportunity to get some traveling in. Best trip so far has been Ireland: My newest project is my Audio Narrating Business. I am starting with an audiobook version of the Novel my father wrote before he passed away. I will

Embracing Conflict

I have been writing since shortly after my Dad passed away (five or six months now). As someone who has explored the many facets of my creativity, I find myself getting caught up with the same pitfalls in each medium. What I have to say has no value and is not good enough compared to

Two Wolves

Many have heard or read the Cherokee story about the two wolves. It goes like this:
