Are We Fraudulent?
Making changes in our lives can be so easy, yet so frustratingly difficult. I love the idea of having a blog that I regularly write for. I love the idea of having a few people that are legitimate fans of the writing. But I honestly don’t know that I would be a fan of my…

3 Rules to Improve Your Writing
How best to improve your writing? I’ve been writing consistently for well over a year now. Which was preceded with another year-ish of consistent writing as well. So you might say that I am an expert in this new writing thing that hasn’t even been around longer than the internet. All joking aside, I’m still…

Letter’s To My Hero’s
I’ve always had this idea of writing letters to my hero’s. How great would it be to send a deeply appreciative and well thought out appreciation letter to your hero’s and mentors. I know that, 99% of the letters I would send aren’t going to make it to their destination. Whether it’s never seen and…

One Step Forward, One Step Backward
I began this blog through sheer force of will. I had time enough in the day to sit down and write in the morning. Occupying roughly the first 60minutes of my day. Rather than continue my [at the time] current practice of writing out 3 pages in my personal journal, I decided to devote that…

Write by Hand
Call me old fashioned, but I miss analog writing. The good old pen and paper, with thoughts flowing (hopefully) freely through my arm right onto the empty lines. It was such a joy accomplishing so much (3 pages!) by the time I am really beginning to tackle the day and the house starts waking up.…

Focus on Your Wins
Grind through. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I woke up before my baby woke up crying at 3:20am and couldn’t get to sleep until close to 4am. This is less than ideal. I was hoping to have woken up beating my 6am alarm. Instead, I hit snooze and was woken up again 5…

Holding Accountability
I’ve been away from my home and normal routine for a while and need to get back into the swing of things. I thrive in the morning. My routine in the morning is wonderful and I feel as though I’ve got it where I want it to be. So, it can be hard diverging away…

Communication Breakdown
Check in with yourself to see how you’re doing: How are you doing on the surface, and how are you really doing deep down? “How am I doing? Oh I’m fine. Yeah things are going pretty well actually.” Often times that’s true. I’m not lying about it. But there’s a lot that is left unsaid…

Inspire Yourself
Don’t wait for Inspiration to hit. Go grab it and wrestle it to the ground Waiting for inspiration is like waiting for your mom to make you a sandwich. You won’t starve, and you’ll get that sandwich…eventually. But it’s just quicker to get off your ass and go make a sandwich for your own damn…

Inspiration is Bullshit
Inspiration can be fickle. It doesn’t last and certainly doesn’t always show up when we need it (especially when we need it most). You’ve been inspired before. You’ve felt the feeling of energy swelling up inside of you. All you need to do is direct it somewhere. It’s really an amazing feeling. But it’s hard…
