• 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…

  Hello all, it has been awhile… a lot has happened in the past few months. All good. Lots of work. So worth it. After being in a consistent limbo for the past four years. We made large strides to change our future just before Halloween. We changed jobs. We planned for a better us. Suffice…

And snow already. It makes me wonder what the rest winter will look like. I personally hope for more snow. I…
