The One Where I Lost My Brain This past weekend, I went oldskool. I went on a photowalk Saturday night, and I used my “old” (ca. 2001) 35mm camera. The idea first popped into my head when I realized that the digicam’s batteries were dead. “Oh!” thinks I. “Instead of going to the battery store, …
So, I didn’t intend to write a blog post for today, even though I usually do post on Thursdays. But, as you might’ve noticed, I moved last weekend, so my new home looks like a hoarder lives in it. I need need need to fix that. Plus, I’m cooking birthday dinner for my mommy today! …
Wordle is a fantastic, fun site that lets you make pretty word clouds. Yay! Me, I made a word cloud out of my most-used blog post tags. Let me show you it!
Greetings, dear inklings! Today, you get the privilege of hearing a fresh, lively, lovely voice that’s not mine. ; ) Patricia Middleton has been my friend for the better part of two decades — which means I’ve benefited from her wit, her enthusiasm for life, and her creative inspiration for nearly 20 years. That’s pretty …
Today, my luvs, I shall list 10 blog post titles. These titles are for you. You may use them however you like. It would mega-cramazing if, when you use them, you’d link back to me so I can come read what you wrote in response to my titles.

Afterward, Becca and I chatted about all things artsy, including noveling and blogging. As I was replacing paintings on my overloaded art shelves, Becca said, “I …
There is a children’s book which, sadly, I have never read. It is Judith Viorst’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Although my English teacher mother and my bibliophile father kept me in English-language books whilst I was growing up in Germany, they seem to have missed this one somehow. I …
I stepped into the coffee shop and knew three things in an instant. There were humans everywhere — flesh in motion, sweat glistening, blood pulsing. There wasn’t a hint of colors. Holly — sweet, delectable, foolish creature that she is — calls them “Technicolors.” If only the communication between demon and auguren were as simple …
I walk through life as half asleep as the next person, I guess…but sometimes, synchronicity slaps me upside the noggin and says, “Yo! Human! Get your heart and mind out of this befuddled daze you’re in and look! I’ve got all sorts of cramazingness waiting for you — all you have to do is reach out and embrace it!”
You get hit in the noggin often enough with love like that, you’ll eventually start looking for it.
I’ve been looking for it. And this week, I found it. Without further ado or adon’t, here’s what synchronicity plopped into my lap this week.
I want to tell you that you’re amazing. You have a tremendous amount of courage. You also have a raw passion hidden somewhere deep inside you…
