Being depressed and moping around, Peter and a few other guys jump in a boat and go fishing in the dead of night. They thought fishing would take their minds off their sorrows and cheer them up. They fished the whole night. They caught nothing. Not a real successful cheer-up attempt. So, in the early… Continue reading Free Breakfast

Air conditioning A quiet morning The shiver of God Colorful veggies and fruit Hmmmm. I just wanted to list a few things I was thankful for and that ‘the shiver of God’ is sticking with me and I couldn’t really write anything else… well, except “colorful veggies and fruit.” The shiver of God… It’s a… Continue reading Shivering in the Heatwave

Sarah brought dessert.  She counted exactly half. Here’s my lovely share.

Tucked. Fresh. Old. New. Creative. Multi-colored. Salty-sweetness. Peace and relinquishment seeps from the surf into the streets, enveloping natives and newcomers into the arms of it’s two-hundred year Scandinavian history. Kudos to you, Danish Maid Bakery, and your 25 cent lemon pockets of sheer wonder. . .  and your butter bars. Oh, and the macaroons.… Continue reading Soak it All Up…

So last year, Sarah and I were held captive in our own home by winter’s wrath… Like two kiddos freed from the prison of school, here’s what we came up with. Yeah, I’m only a year and a half late in posting this… alas, I forgot I had a blog! Time to rediscover this lovely… Continue reading Trapped Last Winter in Snowmageddon…

I’ve frittered my internet time away on facebook (which I’ve taken to calling ‘fakebook’–seems a ‘surrogate’ to actual connection, though I know it has it’s place). Freewriting… Been at my job for about 6 months now. Doing well. Want more creativity, more freedom. The prospect of starting our own business is extremely exciting to both… Continue reading August 2009

February 15, 2009 I’m excited about staring a ‘real’ job tomorrow—working in sales for a remodeling company—but I know I need to keep performing. I need to keep churning that fire inside to keep the brightness alive. My words will burn with life no matter what the stage or where I am, I will keep… Continue reading Create

I’ve been auditioning a lot… a lot. I thought I’d share a recent audition notice I saw that exemplifies how crazy this business is: “I would just like to announce a casting for hand models for Wednesday (tomorrow) January 21st from 10am – 12noonOpen audition, please bring your hands.” I skipped this one… In other… Continue reading Get a job

Here we are at home. I’ve enjoyed being home so much that I really haven’t written. It has been—hmmm, let me find an array of adjectives to set my emotions on display: restful, pleasant, colorful, fun, tasty, serene, creative, prayerful, expectant, enjoyable, super-duper, yippie doodle dandy. OK, now I’m getting silly. Sarah is singing a… Continue reading Grip

I’ve heard a lot of the power of ‘yes’ and the power of ‘no’ recently. I actually can’t stop hearing it. It’s blazing in my ears like a wildfire. Few moments pass when I am not confronted with the ‘no’ and the ‘yes’ of this grand gift called life. The ‘yes’ is trust in the… Continue reading Between Yes and No
