Plan Blog Posts for One Year in Advance
I looked around, surprised at the sudden silence: I had a moment to write. It was a Saturday. The kids were getting into the car with my wife, and I had an hour to myself, alone with my laptop. A few years ago, I would have spent the first ten minutes preparing to write. Instead, I opened up my Blogging Strategy Spreadsheet, and jumped right into composition. In that one precious hour, I wrote two new blog posts, and published [...]
Blog Post Roundup
I post on a lot of different blogs every month. If you want to see where else I'm writing, here is a sample from January.

The First Birthday for Taos.
Me and my boy, we've got back-to-back birthdays. Last year, when Johanna started going into contractions on my birthday, I thought, "How great! We can share a birthday!" As the contractions went around the corner, into the morning of the 8th, I realized how much nicer this is. I've got my day, and he's got his day. For Taos' first birthday, we went to the beach. He also had a big pot of chocolate pudding instead of a [...]
Taos crossing the Rainbow Bridge
There are as many Rainbow Bridge stories as there are Waldorf Families. This is my story to Taos on his Special Birth Day. Happy Birthday, my little Great Spirit. Taos Crossing the Rainbow Bridge by Johanna Huntress There were once three little angels, who were born of one star, and who had loved each other since the very beginning of time itself. One was a girl angel, one was a boy angel, and the smallest angel too was a boy. [...]
