and Purposeful Prose
Sharing burdens isn't always easy. There are certain people in my life that I'm willing to share things with in detail, while others I may give a short variation of the same story. Some may even find me very closed off. My walls go up immediately. Trust has a lot to do with how much [...]

In my last "Parentage" installment my cowboy great-grandpa met three wayward men on his migration from England to Canada. (The wayward part is my embellishment.) We also found out that these three brothers would become his brother's-in-law! Yeehaw! Here's where I started getting confused by the way this story was written. One moment I was [...]
I've been troubled by troubles. Not simply my own. Seeing people that I care for struggle has been difficult for me as well. There's a lot of it out there, and for someone who is very empathic (points to self) life has been draining. I messaged my friend Ronda about how I was feeling and [...]
To all my friends who’ve come and gone And those who’ve gone to be with God I’m glad I knew you I'm thankful we met Your love and kindness, I’ll never forget. I miss your hellos And your words of encouragement The things that made you uniquely you And all the thoughtful things you said [...]

Infact, I was feeling quite dry, which is ironic considering all of my water metaphors lately. Yes, dry, burnt out, and [...]

I've been trying to achieve balance in my life for a while now. When we shut our business down I poured myself into writing and ministering to others. I didn’t like the idea of not having a job and contributing. I needed to feel useful. However, somewhere along the way I forgot to enjoy life. [...]
