That's part of the growth process, especially when you are serious about spirituality. After dealing with a bad head cold and allergy attacks, which are still... Continue Reading →

Lit. Update: Social Platforms and Poetry Announcement!
It’s happening!
I will cease to operate on My Poetic Side, as I no longer have time to manage that space. However, I do plan to stay on Medium for the foreseeable future. All other social media platforms remain in effect until further notice.

It does not contain any artwork at this time. The release just happens to coincide with the winter solstice, which was not originally my plan; but I’m glad it happened anyway!

Personal Post: “Because I’m Here, Too”
The managers of our complex have never been very good at caring for the property. Those of us living here have often complained about the lack of attention they pay to the needs of residents. Recently, we noticed the cleaners who are supposed to spruce up the outer hall of our building hadn't... Continue Reading →
Personal Post: “The Pressure to Follow”
As I continue on my constant journey with inner work, one of the lessons I have learned is the truth of an observation made by a very dear friend of mine: often, people adopt an idea or a label not because they want to - but because those around them have pressured them into... Continue Reading →
Contribution to the Weekly Smile: “Neighborly” #weeklysmile
Yay! I'm back with another Weekly Smile! I really like doing these but have been pretty busy lately. After a full week of chaos, our apartment is getting back to normal. A request to fix a leaky pipe turned into a serious overhaul. It turned out the leak had been going on for... Continue Reading →
