It’s out there. Just sitting quietly waiting for me. I can hear it calling my name seductively. A black hole of despair and hopelessness, I call it The Dark Place. There probably are other names as well, just as there are many other victims aware of the place. Sometimes I see it as a deep,…

Graduation Of A Journal
Writers can’t help but write. It’s in our blood. They often say it’s ink rather than blood running through our veins. At a young age we begin writing in a journal. At first our journal may only be a few sentences describing a personal observation we made. In those early years our vocabulary is not…
Readers Are Reasons For Writing
My blog topics have been all over the road lately. Faithful readers checking in every Monday and Thursday morning never know what they will find when the blog automatically publishes.

Since I have begun this blog people from all walks of life have meandered in, taken a walk around and read from the pages showing the inner workings of my mind. Some of them have been inspired by my willingness to be open. Others have indicated they have been inspired to action by some of…
