I’m pretty much easily amused. Seriously. For any of you three readers out there who also happen to follow me on Instagram (or Twitter or Facebook for that matter) you will by now already know that I was firefly (or as I was repeatedly corrected “lightning bug”) hunting last night to no avail. Instead, I… Continue reading Oh Ye, Oh Ye, Oh Ye | The World Needs More Town Criers

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff | A Tale of Southern Humidity
I’m in the south where, seriously, the humidity is a problem. I mean, come on. It’s like this all summer? Wow. How do you do it? Yes, you. I’m talking to you. Reader #3. Sitting there. Sweating. And maybe drinking some sweet tea. So maybe the South isn’t all bad. Which, actually, I’ve found it… Continue reading Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff | A Tale of Southern Humidity
Attitudes Are Contagious. Is Yours Worth Catching?
I’ve recently found myself speaking with people whose lives have been invaded by despair. Real despair. The kind that magnifies that feeling of emptiness in your stomach. The kind of despair that makes people feel like hope is lost, or at the very least that the end of the tunnel can’t yet be seen. It… Continue reading Attitudes Are Contagious. Is Yours Worth Catching?
Welcome to People 101: Observations from the ATL
I’ve got to be honest with you, I enjoy people watching. I mean, really, who doesn’t? But I could do it as a profession. You know, mosey up to the tree with lunch pail in hand, “Hi Sam, Hi Ralph” my co-worker, clock in, then sit on the pasture and watch the sheep. Looney Tunes… Continue reading Welcome to People 101: Observations from the ATL
Start Your Weekend with The Daily Good
Happy Friday! I'd thought I'd end this week on a positive note. I got a little irked this morning and had originally written a long rant about this and that. But then I decided that wasn't how I wanted to leave everyone for the weekend. Happy is better, right? I think so too, so instead… Continue reading Start Your Weekend with The Daily Good

Hope Is a Gift You Must Give Yourself
On two separate occasions Sunday I got emotionally distressing news from dear friends. And though I can offer my love, sympathy or advice, the truth remains that I can’t really offer the one thing I wish I could. Hope. Hope is truly a gift you must give to yourself. There are outside resources that can… Continue reading Hope Is a Gift You Must Give Yourself
Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War!
ATTENTION! Alright rookies…Did you hear that? I did! And I was asleep, under the bed and dreaming. Of cars. I was an entire hallway and one closed door away but I still heard it. Learn the sound! A heavy thud, an uneven cadence, the swoosh of polyester on polyester. They’re cheap fabrics, soldiers! You’d think… Continue reading Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War!
How Soon Is Now?
Hey dad? Yes, son? Is what they say true? Who? Those that have come before me. The ones who’ve been devastated by pain and loss. Yes, they are true. “Savor each moment.” I thought so. But son? Yeah dad? That won’t stop people from ignoring the truth. And that’s the truth, too. The sad… Continue reading How Soon Is Now?
The Power of Pebbles | A Daily Reminder
“Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain.” -Unknown I saw the above quote online this morning, and it gave me pause. I've often spoken of the power of pebbles in our… Continue reading The Power of Pebbles | A Daily Reminder
