Ornery versus honesty.  My father used to tell at us, "Stop being On-ree! I'll take my belt off!"  On-ree?  On-ree was how I learned to say it.  Not ornery!  It's like these two words "A lot and A little."  Most people spell them "Alot and Alittle."  That's not the way its supposed to be.  What about the word "Aint."  It's not a word.  Here's where...

July 17, 2020 My wife got really serious with me this morning. Sitting on the sofa while I was daily writing. I could tell by her facial expressions that something wasn’t in a positive place. I laid down my writing instrument and prepared for her message. Looking directly into my eyes she very calmly began, “I’ve been thinking a lot lately. This analogy has come to me and I think it should be shar...

July 16, 2020 I love words. To listen to others share them. To watch others react or completely ignore them. Words instantly grab my attention. I don’t listen to the radio or a podcast without physically making myself present in what’s being shared.  They’ve got the confidence to share their words. Words that may inform, help soothe your anxiety, words that empower or even take away. Words! O...

If writing on the third page didn't happen, what would I miss?  How much is lost by not pushing my writing hand toward a fourth?  We are trying to be in too many places at the same time.  Not just here and there but everywhere.  Then we complain about feeling bloated.  We are being tortured by too many frames of mind.  Going backwards to live forward.  Guilty of...

July 15, 2020 I’m amazed at the number of people that share with me their tragic wake up stories. Dreams from the night before becoming weight in the opening steps of a sun on the rise to feeling clogged up with too many news headlines. So often we look and feel like a badly beaten up weather torn wooden wagon from the 1800’s pushing itself westward to Oregon. On this podcast episode we travel int...

If we were to go back to March 1, 2020 and look into the future what would we see?  I can easily go back to my daily writing but I'd feel foolish for being as unprepared as we all were.  And what lesson would it serve?  So many of us want to go somewhere.  But not here.  Too much energy is being spent on false hope and ironclad uncertainty.  The last thing we need to...
