Strength – Say Yes to Life
As you may know if you’ve read the blog recently, I’ve come up with five words to use to help give my life some direction. These words are not goals in themselves, but they are guidelines I can use to help me make decisions and set priorities. They are identification markers for what I think […]

Energy – Build a Strong Foundation
As I mentioned in my blog post two weeks ago, I’ve been reflecting lately on the puzzle pieces of my life and how to put those pieces together to make the best picture for myself. It’s hard, because to know how the pieces fit together, you have to know how to assign priorities. You have […]

Start With Today
This isn’t exactly what I thought I’d be writing about this week, but, as we’ve seen this year, plans change. So, right around Tuesday last week, my life-train suddenly derailed. Not a horrible derailment in the grand scheme of things, but a derailment nonetheless. I wish I could tell you it happened because of an […]

Puzzle Pieces and Five Words
Sometimes I feel like my life is a giant jigsaw puzzle with all sorts of puzzle pieces scattered on the floor around me.

Simply Start
I love the beginning of a new year. I know that the divide between years is an arbitrary construct people agreed on so we wouldn’t get confused, but still. I always think of the end of the old year as a yellowed piece of paper full of scribbles finally being yanked off a tablet. And […]

Taking Breaks
I’ve been concentrating a lot on productivity in my writing lately. I am intent on working more effectively, efficiently, and consistently. Getting things done more quickly. Not lallygagging around. Focused. Feet to the fire. That’s good because these are issues I’ve been needing to address. After all, you can’t write books unless you actually, uh… […]

Driving Into Change
Yesterday, I drove down a road that I haven’t taken in months. Actually, it’s been almost a year since I drove down that particular road with the intention of going to that particular destination. I used to drive that road almost every day. Later I drove it at least once a week. Sometimes the drive […]

A Story From Hardy Falls
Hello, friends! It has been quite a week here at The Palatial Horvath Estate. I struggled to catch up on cleaning and end-of-season yard work (boo), but I was also able to reconnect with an old friend, read a good book (or two), and basically decompressed a bit from the pressure that comes from releasing […]
