Agent of Chaotic Good
Circumstances compel me to blow the dust off this old blog. On Substack I share commentaries about the world in general. I share more theological content with A View from the Pews. I envision this space for personal development, artistic … Continue reading

When I first began water painting I embraced a 3″x3″ format, created by folding/tearing a 9″x12″ sheet into squares. In preparation for selling art in Belize, each painted piece was to be put in a 3″x3″ sleeve, which quickly brought … Continue reading

my to-do list is ridiculous
If you’ve spent much time with me, perhaps you know that my weekends are managed by my to-do list. Every Saturday morning I rise, and put pen to paper, creating my weekend. Sort of. The Important and the Urgent compete for time … Continue reading

Transformation 2012: Day 5
If you visited yesterday’s post, you’ll see an image of the dining area wall at the end of the day (i.e. the start of the day today). To the uninitiated, it might not look that bad. I dared to feel … Continue reading

Sorry about that
Dear Jaguar-owner, Sorry about your car. I sliced the 17th hole. Finally found the damned ball on your hood. At 7 under par for the course, had to take the shot. I hope you understand. Sincerely, A little birdie For … Continue reading

Never without you
Benny shuffled into the kitchen, knees stiff, shoulders hunched, feeling every minute of his ninety years. Mornings were like that. His age seemed to settle on him like a heavy blanket in the night, draining his energy and leaving him … Continue reading

A new adventure
As of this afternoon we’ve taken one more step toward ownership of a house that we intend to flip. We’ve had this idea in mind for a while, and we’ve been trying to find a good candidate. We made an … Continue reading

and I thought self-editing was hard!
No matter how hard the challenge, tall the mountain or rough the course, I seem to be willing to grit my teeth, grunt, sweat and otherwise behave in a manner unbecoming a lady. I’m not sure what I am becoming … Continue reading

Chronic comparing, the road to insanity and perhaps, eventually, death
Klout is going to make me crazy, I can tell already.Well, crazier. It’s like going on a diet and stepping on the scale 3 times a day (yes, I’ve done that). Worse, it lends itself to comparison with others, which … Continue reading
