NaNoWriMo year 3
I didn't think I was going to partake in National Novel Writing Month this year. I really didn't. But I've got a huge project I am brainstorming on, and getting ready to move on in the next few weeks. All I really need to do is spend some time kicking the idea into shape and [...]
Money is Power
Plain and simple. Money = power. Money, in many ways, equals the unnable force of the divine, manifested on the earthly plane. I have come to realize this by the simple act of possessing large amounts of money. In the grand scheme of things, the money I have had the luxury of possessing isn't even [...]
Retaining relaxation
The key, I have found, is to maintain a cool head no matter what happens. Epictetus said that we have no control over our external circumstances.

The ancient Greeks, the culture that I studied for most of my higher education, thought it was strange when barbarians would drink their wine unmixed with water. (Barbarians, it must be noted, was a term inclusive of all non-Greeks. They all made funny sounds when [...]
Goal checking
Absent a journal that I like to carry around with me every day, I am finding myself without the handy habit of writing down my goals regularly. So now I am going to just spout off some of my goals. I want to be an elite-level athlete by my son's birthday, March 9. I want [...]
Indilea’s new joke
Indi has two good friends, Olive and Maple. Olive has been one of Indi's best friends since she was a baby, and Maple is Olive's little sister. Indi got this mischievous little smile on her face and came up to Johanna yesterday. She said, "Mommy, can I ask you a question?" "Sure," Johanna said. "Do [...]
