• The worst month of my life…so far…Guinness and whiskey my companions…broken hearted me…

• Art+Wine=Writing…

  

  I cannot draw, I cannot paint. Whenever I see something amazing in art, I have a true appreciation for it. I understand the time and energy that is needed to complete things you are passionate about. My first book took me ten years to complete…my second four years. My third 1.5 years. I feel like,…

• Challenges…obstacles…and petite Syrah…(shit what have I got myself into?)

  I used to look at obstacles as awful. The worst. I am weak. I cannot do it. I’m not strong enough. The voice in my head…I’m too old. I hurt to much. I changed jobs for an easier life. What are they trying to do kill me? When a wrench is thrown I usually run…

  A few more days and my entire life is about to change. New job. New schedule. Freedom from debt…joy begins! After a decade in a job, I do well. I decided I wanted something more. For myself. For my family. To wake up each morning and be excited about a job again. After the joy…
