Life is Freaking Long. #WritingCommunity #FridayFeeling

I was out working today on a new project and I looked around as I was sitting in traffic.

I am Grateful- Golden Moments. #MondayMotivation #WritingCommunity

I am Grateful today,  Immensely grateful. For so many things, things that were not even a reality to me 11 months ago. Spending time with my children, just cheering on my son as he plays little league baseball and the feeling of pride and joy I get from watching him.  Remembering the days spent inContinue reading “I am Grateful- Golden Moments. #MondayMotivation #WritingCommunity”

It’s Me. #writingcommunity #thursdaythoughts

Fast forward to a time in the middle of nowhere, where space exists only as a reference to somethingness. Where the wind blows past the point of dropping sound and a miniature planet swings on a spinning ground. Move forward to a place of fatigue and depravity, where mankind begins with a handful of madnessContinue reading “It’s Me. #writingcommunity #thursdaythoughts”
