I’ve had a startling epiphany. Last night, I was in a meeting which was supposed to last at the most one hour. It lasted three. At about two hours into the meeting, I shut down. Emotionally. I couldn’t allow myself to indulge the rage and indignation I felt rising, swelling within me. Sure, I managed to engage conceptually for the remainder of the meeting, but the longer it elapsed, the less I presented and the more I retracted into myself. Afterwards, as I retrospectively sifted ...

Restoring Jerusalem
Today, something very important is going to happen. I say “very important”. Let me rephrase… Dramatic. Significant. Epical. Necessary. Vital. Historical. I could keep going by merely opening a thesaurus and just picking any word that relates to “important”, for you see today something wonderful is going to happen, something which we have been waiting for a long time.

Hope for the New Year

Unfortunately, my friend and stylist was out of town indefinitely, (probably for a show since he’s ...
Preparing amidst Blessing
I have a mountain of work to do for my day job, but I find myself entirely distracted this morning. I must pen my musings for they overwhelm me. Life has been busier than normal since the final weekend in August. I've been trying to find my rhythm again (like when I should schedule time to sit and write.) My older siblings came to visit; a sweet, blessed time. I moved, FINALLY, and I’m loving my new place. I applied for a new job, which would utilize both my skills and passions. (Imagine ...
