Today is a difficult day for me! I am faced with the reality that my greatest desire is to see my wife Laura free from the pain and suffering she is experiencing after her knee replacement surgery.
I know each of us is responsible for our own relationship with our Divine healer, but my heart grie... Read more of this blog post »

Maybe there are more labyrinths than will meet the eye: The labyrinth of the brain, probably the greatest. The human errors and self-realization-labyrinth, perhaps one that makes us happy poets, writers and artists. I have tried all my life to understand the spiralling design I had imprinted on t...

I love to garden, but until this year, I've stuck to mostly flowers and plants. Sure, I've thrown in the occasional herb (rosemary, basil, and lavender) and I've tried to add plants to ward off mosquitoes (like catnip, citronella, horse mint, and marigolds) but I've never given fr...

I LOVE SATURDAYS! Because that’s the day I talk books!

Right now I highly recommend Kyra Davis – Just One Night – Trilogy – a very erotic, SMART, engaging series of books! Not your ordinary series read.

What are you reading?

I love revealing cover art. When it comes to my books, I’m a pretty humble guy. I like them, but I don’t really expect anyone else to. So while the big sales pitch is a necessity, I don’t honestly feel like screaming: “Look! I made the best thing ever!” When it comes to Andreas’s art, I feel the...

There’s no point in counting the obvious things like rising child poverty, the increasing wealth divide or the actions of the imploding coalition government (to the more cynical, it appears that the coalition is being carefully dismantled prior to reappearing separately in time for the next elect...

Q: Do you limit your fruit servings per day??

A: Personally, I do not. If I want fresh fruit, I eat fresh fruit. I could easily eat my weight in mango, strawberries and watermelon. I do find my fruit consumption changes throughout the year, however. For example, I eat (and crave) more fruits in...

A bout of pondering has hit me again while I sit and type with my sparkly nails and my green tea by my side.

I’m a fanatical reader of children’s literature, and one of my favorite authors is Laura Ingalls Wilder.
