The Leap from “What If” to “What’s Next”…
What If the Like-Minded United?… Sometimes I sit and wonder, what if all the people who actually see the world for what it really is came together?

Why ‘Me’ Needs a Holiday…
The Most Overused Word? If I had to pick a word that’s overused these days, I’d say “me.”Not because the letters offend me, or because I want to erase individuality, but because “me” has become the gravitational center of far too many conversations, posts, and decisions.

A Field Full of Sheep and Me…
I wasn’t planning to write this today.But you know how those daily writing prompts sneak up on you? Today’s question is, “What bothers you and why?”, and well… turns out the writing prompt works. Who knew? 😂 It got me thinking more about the things that used to bother me, the things I’ve let go…

Romance? Ah Jaysus, Spare Me…
Daily Writing Prompt: What’s your definition of romantic? Oh, here we go, another bloody programmed concept designed to keep people chasing shadows. I actually hate this one. The word “romantic” makes me twitch. Not because I’m cold or cynical, but because it’s one of those old hand-me-down ideas we’ve all been spoon-fed since we were…
