This is Your Free Trial Period!

So happy you don’t read the terms and conditions. I live by the free trial period ministry. When you try something new, if it’s something we’re meant to do, we rack small wins to push us down the path. That’s a free trial. …

We are a lot alike, you and I

I took a screenwriting class and learned something that can alter how you watch movies and tv. Are you ready? You’ll be pressed to find a show or film where someone doesn’t say, “We are a lot alike, you and I,” or a variation. Now you won’t be able to…

Why are you doing this?

A necessary heart check — I've been gone from Medium for a while because I've been working on other things. Some of those things have got me shiny new rejection letters and their first cousin, unanswered emails. It's hard to put yourself out there, but it is necessary. I have worked so long in advertising…

Prescription for Procrastination: Appointment TV

I grew up without a tv in my room. Nor a computer. No, it wasn't punishment ( I still don't have a TV in my room). My mom firmly believes a bedroom is a place to disconnect, connect with a partner, and rest. …

Silence Treatment

I don’t do silent treatments, but I like seeing silence as a treatment. Silence is a treatment for an overwhelming life. Silence is a treatment for focus, like lowering the radio when backing up to a parking spot. Silence is the best treatment for people that need to get untangled. …

Sweater Weather

I keep your love neatly folded like a sweater in the furthest corner of a drawer. But when the weather is right, I like to take it out and wear it for a while. I caress, smell, and reminisce, but I never wear it outside. I don’t want people to…

Best places to write: Ranked

By me. Recently I caught up with a friend, and we were giving each other tips on productivity. I don’t know how we ended up there — maybe it was all the “New Year” adrenaline. Nevertheless, the conversation made me think of the places I like the best to write…

It’s simply not that easy.

My favorite flash fiction is credited to Ernest Hemingway, although it’s unlikely he wrote it. I love it for its simplicity. The nuance of its clipped sentences wrung my heart the first time I read it, and it still saddens me. …

34 Books in 365 days: Part III

We've made it to the last 14 books! Here are parts I and II if you want to catch up! One I missed from Faith 2.0 Even Silence is Praise by Rick Hamlin tackles meditation as prayer and praise. There are a lot of opinions about this subject among more conservative Christians. Still, prayer is a…
