So much has happened recently, in my small part of the world and in the greater world we all share. Regardless of which corner of the world you inhabit, or what political views you may hold, there is one thing all human beings cling to – hope. There is always hope, even when we can’t …

I never review books on this blog, but today I’m going to talk about a book I recently read that I think might interest some of you. From time to time I’ve mentioned my ongoing battle with depression and how it has affected my life, particularly my writing (or more specifically my inability to write). …

This week’s prompt words in the Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge are MAGIC and MAN. I’m more than a little rusty when it comes to writing poetry, or writing anything, really. Still, I made an attempt using one of the prompt words, so that’s something, I suppose. We all have magic Hidden deep waiting for a …
