A Middle School Teacher
Who was your most influential teacher? Why? I do not know if Mr. Sulley is still alive, but there is a reason I bring him up. He was my eighth grade social studies teacher – and it wasn’t because of what he taught. But how. Details. Unbiased options. Truthfulness. All to the benefit of his…
Happy Vernal Equinox
Most years, I haven’t been able to express my love and gratitude for this season. In Colorado, the trees are just now growing buds and beginning to blossom – other areas in the continental US have us beat by a couple of weeks. My admiration for flowers stems from my youth, but as of late,…
Dear 100 Year Old Me
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dead 100 Year Old Me, We did a thing! No, we did not bury a body… We found love – within ourselves. Then we secured a handsome young man who does any and everything for us! So far, you’ve had four kids, self published eleven books, created your…
Mirror, Mirror
The crawl to reassemble myself back to where I was – as if I was ever untouched. But, to reclaim something that was ripped from me. To purge all emotions in the wake of burdens and obligations.

Me, Myself and I
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? I’m contrary, I know, There is no desire to be anyone else, even if simply for a day. No position seems worth it, no life or circumstance. It would be pointless. Whether rich or famous. Not even a child’s position…
Impossible
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? And here’s why – Your world is created by your reality – your brain. So the word impossible, to me, is a paradox. Lay down your sob stories of limbs that won’t grow back, or people waking up from…
Hard To Explain
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? To put simply, and not give too much away – patience. There is something coming, and it’s great. But it will require everything from me, just about. I am ready, but the moment isn’t here. So I have to wait. Waiting can…
