Welcome to My Profile Index!

There are always possibilities — The metal gate clanged shut as Jules left the compound. She was alone now, and her life would never be the same. Alone. Such a strange feeling. Exhilarating and frightening at the same time. Where would she go, and what would she do? Jules had spent so much of her…

That’s what they tell me — If you are an artist, you should work for free. Your “payment” is getting to do what you love. Forget about those pesky bills. You are pursuing your passion. That’s what matters most. I’m tired of hearing about how I should write for the love of it. I realize many…

Read on to see other topics that fall flat here — I made the mistake of writing another technical piece yesterday. I thought it might be interesting and informative, but I forgot those pieces are mostly ignored. It’s been read two whole times. I won’t make that mistake again. Don’t waste your time Let me save you some time if you are a writer here…

I bought a pair and I love them! — I’ve written a bit about my low back problems, so I thought I’d give an update on a solution I’ve found—zero drop shoes. What the heck are zero drop shoes? We all wear heels We rightly hear a lot about women hurting their backs and feet by wearing heels. Well, this might surprise you…

She says that’s why I’m freaking out and wanting to be done with all this estate paperwork. Fight or flight, baby. All the way. I’m overwhelmed. Exhausted. Grieving. Angry. Alone. I want to crawl…

The fun never ends here in North Carolina — I hate North Carolina, and I especially hate Blue Cross & Blue Shield. I went to the local Clerk of Court to settle my mother’s affairs on Friday. The insurance company requires letters or testamentary to close out her account. To get those, I had to file for probate. Well…

A different perspective on this story — If you come from a Christian background, you have undoubtedly heard the story about the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda whom Jesus healed (John 5:1–15). It’s one of those difficult passages that makes you stop and wonder why Jesus said what he did. Do you want to be…

I am tired of crazy comments — Most comments I get here are respectful and thoughtful, but 5–10% are crazy. So, I guess I can’t write about anything personal or deep anymore. If I do, I guess I will have to close the comment section. That’s a shame, because that is my writing style. I hate to…
