There are so many lists out there. A to-do list. A run of show list. A shopping list. There’s even a book, which I admittedly bought, called The Checklist manifesto. I myself make a rather lengthy daily to-do list with two columns: work and personal. For a while […]
Be aware of the patient woman Look for the slightly clenched fists Look at the trembling bottom lip Listen to slow ragged breath The rage is slowly building up Don’t poke the bear, they say Look at the eyes for their focal point Keep it moving Lying to […]
There’s this thing going around for the past year. A pandemic, as a matter of fact. You may have heard of it. It’s often referred to as covid-19 or just covid. We’ve sheltered in place. We’ve eaten out in the cold. We’ve developed a healthy love of delivery. […]

Pretend someone gave you a blank canvas today. A blank sheet. Blank blackboard. What do you put on it? When faced with blankness there’s possibilities and there’s weariness. There’s hope.
