When someone or something has been a part of your life since late childhood, it’s a very difficult thing to stand by and watch it go away. As I sit here contemplating what to say about 2025 suddenly landing our laps, I’m reminded that 2024 was a year of huge […]
New Year 2023 brought no essay, no long winded tirade on new normal or other TEOTWAWKI 2.0 revelations. It started out with a squeak and is coming to a close with a roar unlike any other. 2023 has proven to be a year of HUGE changes in my little corner […]

There are many ways one can appreciate BEAUTY. To each individual, there will be a multitude of things (or people, or candies, or flowers) that they find “beautiful”. Each of us has our own sense of beauty. Everyone’s soul is affected by something different. I find that music is one […]
Yet again, daily life has interrupted my personal journey. I am the first one to admit that I tend to put EVERYTHING else ahead of my own personal progress. I like to read quite a bit, and I do find that I tend to get reading, follow a link here […]
