SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t read Continuity, I strongly suggest you close this blog and do so. What I’m going to paste below is the Prologue to the second installment. I figure it will quell a little bit of the anticipation and give the read a bit of context going into the sequel (which I’m … More Continuity 2 – Where We Left Off
About six months ago, I made a very difficult decision. For the previous eight months, I’d spent a ridiculous amount of time, money, and energy into trying to start my own business. When I’d started my little venture, things moved excruciatingly slow. Much more so than I’d anticipated. But after about five months of basically … More Why Waiting Tables Was the Best Decision I Ever Made
I don’t know if this message will ever make it to the intended recipient (I tweeted it to her). But it can’t hurt to try. I want to thank someone who gave my mother many of the little moments of joy she could have in the final years of her life. That person is Nora … More Thank you, Nora Roberts
This is probably going to piss some people off. HOWEVER! I have to say it because I can’t stand the hate. I see a LOT of anti Trump, Clinton, Obama, and so on rhetoric online. In fact, that’s almost all I see. Anti this, and anti that. Has anyone considered the fact that these people … More Perspective
I feel the need to clarify something. I’ve gotten a lot of questions regarding my views on faith since my book was released. I don’t suppose this should come as a surprise, considering the prologue. And although spirituality is one thing I was referring to when I mentioned I think we should all question our … More Clarification: Faith and Meaning
Well, the day I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. After a painfully agonizing wait, Continuity is available for purchase at last. It’s strange though. All this time I’ve felt some weird, anxious sensation leading up to now. I sort of expected to have some overwhelming sense of accomplishment and relief when it finally got … More Now What?
“The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success.” – Henry Ward Beecher The quote you just read is something that I’ve always tried to remind myself. The more and more I think about wanting to be successful, the harder it seems to get. I think we all fall victim to … More Imagining vs. Experiencing
All of this political junk going on made me write this. People are becoming entirely too divided over who supports who. So here’s what I think, if anyone cares. I’d like to take a moment to write about something that constantly troubles me. Something we all know exists, yet can’t truly get a complete grip … More Politics
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well, and live broadly. You are alive, and living now. Now is the envy of all the dead.” I’d like to take a moment and … More World of Tomorrow
This whole Apple thing has the country reeling, once again introducing a dilemma that can divide and polarize our opinions. Most people haven’t been affected by it (and simply don’t care), which I can totally understand. It’s easy to go about life and not concern ourselves with things so far away in proximity and principle. … More This Apple Thing
