3 Minute Sprint

Set a timer for three minutes. Put your hands on the keys or grip tightly to your pen. Start writing. Don’t stop until the timer goes off. Don’t think. Just write. Ready? Set. Go. Okay, what do I write about for three minutes? Well, I see a painting of falling leaves. There’s a comet soaringContinue reading “3 Minute Sprint”

Letter to the Future

Dear Future Me, I hope you’re doing well. I hope you’re happy and your dreams are coming true. How’s our kitten? Does she still like you? It would be cool someday, years down the road, if you found this in your long list of posts. I like to think you’ll smile. Maybe a tear getsContinue reading “Letter to the Future”

Job Picking Blunder

Recently, I was asked to write up a list of all my past work experiences for my current job. They want to see all the species I’ve worked in my life. While writing it all up, I had to laugh at myself. One of the places I used to work at was the plant pathologyContinue reading “Job Picking Blunder”

Blog Blah

I have to be honest. If anyone has been following my website for a while, you might have noticed that I always call these little writings of mine as “webposts.” And, yes, I do see the little red squiggly line saying it’s not word every time I type it out. I recently did a webpostContinue reading “Blog Blah”

Looking for Hope

You arrive with butterflies in your stomach. It’s late. You hope you’re in the right place, but the event is still a couple days and you see no signs of it as you pull in. The chalet has you confuzzeled. You look for a tall and wide building, a modern day hotel, but the chaletContinue reading “Looking for Hope”

For the Sake of the Sequel

Last week, I indulged in a story that didn’t turn out how I expected. I dare say, I was almost disappointed, but I understand why they ended it the way that they did. The story was Disney’s Descendants; The Rise of Red. It’s not the first Descendants movie, but it’s one where you can getContinue reading “For the Sake of the Sequel”

Too Many Notebooks!

UGH, I know I wrote it down somewhere. Was it on a paper? A notecard? My Google docs? No. It has to be in one of my notebooks. Yet, I have a heavy sigh when I stare at my bookshelf. Which notebook is it in? I’ll flip through one. It’s what I’m using currently. OfContinue reading “Too Many Notebooks!”

Dueling Dragons

Ever have nighttime dreams that stick with you? They linger in the back of your mind because you’re trying to figure out why in the world you had such a crazy dream? I had one like that this week. I don’t remember the start of the dream. I just know something was going down thatContinue reading “Dueling Dragons”

Your People

Every now and then I like to pull out my old planners and take a look through them. I like to think looking back at them could help me appreciate the present or provide hope for the future. This week, I pulled out my 2017 planner to see what I did the week of AprilContinue reading “Your People”

A Long Way

This week, a solar eclipse occurred. I wasn’t in the path of totality, but you could tell it was happening. The world got steadily darker. It felt almost as if a foreboding plot point in a story was gearing up. The world darkens, then some big ominous thing happens. Yet, at the same time, thereContinue reading “A Long Way”
