My posts have been few and far between lately, and this one will just be a brief update as I have myself spread pretty thin these days. That’s a good thing, though, as it’s an indicator of a lot of progress on multiple fronts – business, music, social.
The house in Parks is sold and I’m [...]

So Much Stuff
Posted in Life, journal on Thursday, January 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The logic of an arsonist suddenly makes a whole lot more sense to me after several days of packing up to move, especially since I have been plagued by a cold for the whole duration. I’m tired and cranky. How could one person accumulate so many possessions – so much JUNK – in [...]
Star Light, Star Bright
Posted in DIY, General, Life, Northern Arizona, country life, journal, outdoors on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
One thing I miss about the Arizona high country is the dark night skies. I’ve been back up in Parks for two days to do some more work on the place and I went out tonight to look at the sky. The stars were breathtakingly bright in the cold, clear air at 7,000 feet. While [...]
Busy, Busy

In the last 24 hours, I’ve signed up my first student at Gilbert music, delivered promo flyers door to door in one neighborhood, handed out business cards everywhere I’ve gone, and labeled a batch of 55 CDs that I sold with all of the new contact information. I also made the drive back up [...]
A Year and a Day
Posted in General, Life, the journey on Wednesday, November 7, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday was this blog’s first birthday. I was at a job fair and running all over Phoenix for most of the day. So, I didn’t get this post together before the GMT coach turned into a pumpkin.
A lot has happened in a year. Last year at this time I’d just gotten laid off from [...]
A Time To Build Up, A Time To Break Down…
Posted in Friends, Life, the journey on Friday, September 7, 2007 | 2 Comments »
There are a lot of things on the upside of this latest development. For one thing, the last time I lived in Phoenix, I moved down there just ahead of the summer season and left at the end of a long, hot summer. Not very good timing. This time, I’m at least in better tune [...]
Jump. Fall. Fly. Again.
Posted in Adventure, Arizona, Life, Northern Arizona, emergency services, firefighting, journal, scary, the journey, transformation on Thursday, September 6, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The metaphor of skydiving that I used in my original “Jump. Fall. Fly.” post of a few months ago has taken on new meaning. I’ve been hanging onto the edge of the jump door resisting this one for a while now, but the time has come to let go and take the dive. This bird [...]
A Little Bit of Inspiration
Posted in Life, Spirituality, fun, imagination, inspiration, quotes, the journey, transformation on Thursday, August 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’m pretty tired today after getting back to the novel edit, exercising more, practicing guitar, and being up to my eyeballs in working with my new content management system, so I’m going to take the easy way out and do a link post. Here are a couple of inspirational posts and pages I’ve benefited from [...]
Five Big Questions

I just ran across a link that I thought I’d share. It’s a fun little animation that makes some big points about life and is a different way of exploring some of the same issues that I like to write about here. Enjoy. Five Big Questions

One Way to Become an Early Riser: Elmo has been making a habit of cavorting around the bedroom in the wee hours of the morning and waking me up. Meowing and little cat paws tromping across my belly have a way of ending a peaceful night’s dreams and launching my day earlier than expected. The [...]
Analog vs. Digital: A Renaissance Woman in a Post-Modern World

The other night, M gave me an assignment. A simple one, really, but I had no idea what a shift would come out of it. I was getting very frustrated with my job hunt and my promotional activities and was back feeling like I was spinning my wheels. I couldn’t focus; I had lost all [...]
Heartache

I got a phone call from my mom this afternoon and when she warned me that I’d better sit down, that the news was bad, I did. She’d been down to get her mail and learned that last night a fellow firefighter and friend of mine from the old days on the department had been [...]
Lose Thirty Pounds…
Posted in Life, health, inspiration, learning, transformation, weight loss on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I got out my old survey crew clothes – heavy, double-kneed jeans and some long-sleeved henleys – and they are way too big. Hey, alright! Curious, I stepped onto the scale and I’m within two pounds of my old firefighting weight. Granted, I’m not packing near as much muscle as I used [...]
