One Rich Man’s Message to Other People of Wealth: Click until your mouse breaks

Someone I know is a person of wealth. Yesterday he wrote a letter to other people of his economic status. I found his sentiments moving, and thought it was worth sharing. Although some are looking for systemic change, tha

Well, my three books are out there in the Amazon universe (some may say vortex haha!). I had a two-week pre-order campaign that went well. It was helped enormously by the World History Encyclopedia (who I write for). They promoted my poetry book (which is based on WHE historical content) on Facebook

The internet is the Wal-Mart of information. There's a lot of value there, but also an overwhelming amount of junk and plenty of things that can really harm you.

If there is an antidote, an antithesis if you will, of everything truly crappy about the internet, it is Maple Creek sausage.

“You treat me differently. When you discuss me with your family and friends, you refer to me as “the Black girl at work.” I make you uncomfortable, especially when I speak with intelligence, in which case you say I’m being condescending. If I relax you think I’m being overly familiar. If I can’t fig Read more of this blog post »

I read this book a few months ago. If I hadn’t read this book I wouldn’t have started oil painting again after almost 20 years of not painting.

There was a meeting point in the 1970’s of a variety of virile creative ideas and minor ‘pop’ movements which, after a brief period of popularity, were directly-after attacked and ever-since maligned by a familiar combined force of envy, bourgeois superficiality, and materialist commodification.

In May, 1880, Fred Richter fell off the scow that he was poling back across the Nisqually River towards his cabin on the east bank. He probably drowned immediately, though his body was not recovered from the swift-moving river by his neighbors until July.

Who was Richter, and why did he fall off the

No disrespect intended to anyone, but the minute you publish a book, everyone you know is suddenly an expert. I even had one person tell me I needed a different man on my book's cover and proceeded to show me a picture of a "male model" who was downright frightening! I think she had Fabio in mind, b Read more of this blog post »

Hay gente que sabe putear, cuando los escuchás están recitando poesía. Otros, en cambio, parecen niños repitiendo lo que dicen los adultos. Putear es un arte, y como en todo arte, la práctica te ayuda a mejorar, pero tenés que tener un talento natural, de nacimiento, para que sea perfecto. Y hay gen Read more of this blog post »

Hello All,

Where did I leave off? Probably before I began typing the second draft. I'm on chapter five now but I've hit the weekend, two days which I'm regulary forced to take off. We're about to meet the characters that chnage the rest of the book so I'm fine to take a breather before It Gets Real. Read more of this blog post »

I’ve been on the spiritual journey for close to 20 years! When I first started, I was in a dark place in my life struggling with health issues, worry, and anxiety. At the time I wasn’t aware that that’s what it was. Anxiety and depression weren’t talked about as openly and there definitely was a sti Read more of this blog post »
