This thanksgiving I was in Fresno, Ca visiting family. It was the day after eating turkey and cranberry sauce and it is tradition for all the kids to help their grandfather out up Christmas lights.
How many blogs have started like this I wonder? Cynical doubt creeping up…Nevertheless, onward my soul.
I woke up this morningDidn’t recognize the man in the mirrorThen I laughed and I said, “Oh silly me, that’s just me”Then I proceeded to brush some stranger’s teethBut they were my teeth, and I was weightlessJust quivering like some leaf come in the window of a restroom- Kurt Vile…

It became a family weeknight tradition when I was a kid to watch FOX News. George W. Bush was president, and it was a good time to be a Republican. FOX News was a fairly up-and-coming news outlet, and our favorite shows were Hannity & Colmes, Megan Kelly and last but not least The O’Reilly Factor.

I never knew what the words cherish and protection truly meant until I met her. I don’t know if it was the day I first laid eyes on her, the day she first smiled at me or the day she showed me her soul. Hell maybe it was all of the above. The one thing for certain is that I knew there wasn’t a…
I know we want a lot of things in life and we get so disappointed when things do not go our way. You know that relationship you held on too long to and it did not work out, or how about that job or promotion you went out for and didn’t get it could very well be to redirect you to your…

It takes a lot of work in order to find yourself within the constraints of society’s definition of what it means to be “beautiful”. That’s no surprise to anyone. All of us have been told we’re too much of something and not enough of another. The list goes on and on of what I’ve been called countless times in…

That is all I have to say.
Yep. After my grandma, aunt and father passed away — I was the family member who ended up with that responsibility. I tried to curate and edit the stuff, but it doesn’t matter. I couldn’t take it with me, so it’s about letting go of the stuff and instead, holding on tight to the memories. (And a few of grandmas Christmas ornaments, just because. )

Everyone wants to turn rags to riches or even metal to gold.To be able to do those things you have to be able to work. You have to have the mind set to do something bigger then just live regular. You have to realize what your destiny is. Not everyone has a destiny, but it can easily be created.

People will generally think when they reach age twenty, they have ten more years to live before life kicks in. Unfortunately that is the wrong way to view this. By the time they are thirty everything is happening so sudden that one may not be able to keep up with whats going on because they…
Funny thing is all that stuff makes it hard to get new things into your life. Whether it is new belongings, new activities, or new creations and the likes, one will find it harder to create new things if they view the world through a tunnel made of stuff they stamped their name on over time.

All life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
