As an author I am very surprised when I find another author without a blog site and yet, on my marketing and writing adventures, I’m learning a lot about why they may not. It’s time consuming yet freeing, an outlet outside of normal “money making” avenues and with so many others blogging it’s hard to […]
A risk a day doesn’t have to be much but it can go a long way. I’ve been dreading but intrigued by the idea of consuming kale. It seems to be all the health focused people are talking about these days but recipes encouraged a substitute for the first try. I decided to just go […]
As part of my New Years Resolution (Goal, Self Promises, whatever you call your commitment to do something new) I vowed to take some risks in life and instead of making excuses and I have been doing lots. One thing may not seem like a major change but to me sneaking out of bed to […]
My resolution is simple – recognize how many random acts of kindness I do each day. We always hear about a push for it but we need to understand how simply and common these acts can truly be. And it doesn’t have to be for someone else. Sometimes we all need a little something special […]
You can blame it on the Mayan’s, on the date, on Global Warming but no matter what I think you should treat December 21, 2012 as the end of one life and the beginning of another. There have been horrible events that happened this year and the years before to you and to others all […]

With his mothers sudden death in 2009 Phil expressed his journey through life with a mother who loved him and stood by his […]
Update 03-06-22: I don’t usually revisit my blog posts or edit them afterwards, but this one was brought to my attention in the most unusual, and serendipitous way. Amongst an abundance of spam emails laid this one, the subject line of “quick question”, not even capitalized. It seemed a typical spam start but something nagged […]
Many great things are happening to promote a step in the right direction for humanity but they are followed in close succession by something that contradicts how great the event is. I won’t divulge any even in particular but there are lots I’ve seen doing this same thing. An event meant to get people off […]
A popular topic of debate is the existence of love at first sight. Romantics yearn for it, a tale of two strangers passing each other in a fluke situation forever connected by a bond that will last forever, no matter what life brings them. Skeptics are less to commit to such a fairy tale and […]
