It’s half way through 2018. A lot has shifted since setting goals for this year. The main thing that’s shifted is my professional focus. Come September, instead of growing my web design business, I will focus on writing and building my writing career. It’s interesting that even as I wrote that last sentence, it felt […]

Summer 2018
This summer I’m working on a full-length poetry manuscript that explores how value is placed on material things, and people, and circumstance. I’m attempting to understand the complexity of worth. The virtue in oneself. The value in others. What is it that we hold on to? And why?
At least, that’s what I think it’s about.
I’m also gearing up for the fall. A few events I’m excited about. A long awaited manuscript–inspired from the years I worked with architect Ligon Flynn–I’m going to begin. Autumn evenings.

On Refuge
One could say I have been settling into my new refuge since August. Painting walls. Trying to establish new grass. Greasing the wheels of routine. Through the hustle of transition, I require a bit more alone time than usual. Quiet time. Me-and-my-thoughts time. I’ve also been preoccupied with #metoo.
