Starting Over: Never Too Late
Cultivating Courage: Redefining Your Life, No Matter the Stage
Any time you start to change is timely and youthful!
If you're tired of staying in one place, change it. If you lose money, you can earn it back. If you lose friends, you can make new ones. If love is gone, you can find it again. Cut off relationships that shouldn't exist. Withdraw from circles where you don't belong. Don't look back, don't dwell on the past; start fresh, not over.
Later, I began to understand that attachment to comfort zones and indulgence in the past can easily create the illusion that it's too late for everything. Whether you have the courage to pursue the life you truly desire has nothing to do with whether you are 20, 30, or 40 years old. Those excuses you make are, in the end, nothing more than your own cowardice. It is never too late to change your life at any time.
Remember, you lack nothing. What you lack is the courage to start over.
Apart from your own efforts, who can give you the life you want?

Why the Disconnect? Decoding the "Floor" of Communication
In communication, there exist individuals who grasp our messages instantly, yet we cannot connect with certain people no matter what we express. Does this describe any of your experiences?

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
