Artwork I created in memory of Todd Michael. I debated posting anything today because this is a card I’ve held pretty close to my chest. But because it’s Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, I feel like I would do myself, my nonliving child, and other silent sufferers a disservice by not saying anything. For... Continue Reading →
The legend himself, Teller. One thing you’ll learn pretty quick about Texans is that we love talking about the weather. If you’ve spent more than five minutes here, you’ll know what I mean. This past year, there was one day where it rained, hailed, snowed, hailed some more, then heated up to a balmy 60... Continue Reading →
My body. My choice. Trigger warning: Sexual Assault, abortions, pregnancy, Catholicism and plenty of other hot-button topics. I’ve been doing quite a bit of thinking lately. During the heavily covered Depp-Heard trial, I was struggling with the shame of sharing a mental illness with the she-devil. One thing was said in particular that stuck with... Continue Reading →
When the words don’t come, just sit in patient contemplation. The written word doesn’t always come when it’s called, but it can always be coerced with enough gumption. In moments like these, I feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole into a world of possibilities with infinite possibility. It’s given me faith many times,... Continue Reading →
‘Twas a stormy night in North Texas with country dwellers fast asleep, and one lonesome writer… The Fellowship of the Ring The bonds of humanity have me flummoxed.

We’ve made a painstaking pace, our caravan plodding slowly, agonizingly, as the days drift from one to... Continue Reading →
The real and short of it is that no one, and I mean no one, on this earth is completely and consistently at peak performance one hundred percent of the time. However, this facet of life leaves an unsavory taste in my mouth. For those of us whose lives are made less mundane by creation,... Continue Reading →
The engulfing eclipse of an infinite rift, You blinked, and all at once there was a boy, He, there in the crow’s feet by his earthy eyes, Summons a calling deep in the soul of your being, Hasten, steadfast, and solemn, He rides the mare that was raised for just this breath, Cruelly galloping, galloping...

Bleak eyed pockmarked and grey, all grey, Boldness is not plucked from inside of a shell, Warm, soft and plush delicately poised at the ready, The dialogue read not a verse in its finality, Bleat, in concession to the figure with a scythe, The gaze, a desert of a timeless sea born despite the doubt,...

Me, with a new friend, about 8 years old. There’s a song in the country genre that talks about a girl that wants to grow up too fast. “You’re gonna miss this, you’re gonna want this back, you’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast…” If I think about it, there are two... Continue Reading →
