I started this blog over ten years ago, unsure of what I was doing or even what I wanted to write about. Along the way, I explored hiking journals, poems, songs, rhymes, short stories, religious themes, mental health narratives focused on both struggle and recovery, family stories, grief, art (pen and ink, watercolor, and animation), YouTube videos, music through guitar and piano, and much more.

The main theme of my work began to emerge after 2020. The emotions of that time challenged me, inspired me, and ultimately allowed the artist in me to flourish.

My poetry became a place to explore every corner of the human experience: love and horror, psychological struggles and recovery, military life and remembrance, grief and humor, storytelling and metaphor, philosophy and faith. Over the years, I have written from Biblical, religious, pagan, and Wiccan perspectives, while also reflecting on family, friendship, nostalgia, and countless other subjects that shape our lives.

This creative journey has also led to the publication of four books: A Journey, Childhood Adventures, George and Ned’s Adventure, and Internal Geography. Each represents a different chapter of my growth as a writer and artist.

Over the years, I have been humbled by the response to my work. One of my Facebook reels reached more than 152,000 views, and this blog has welcomed over 10,000 visitors, gained 321 subscribers, and been viewed in more than 90 countries around the world. What began as a place to experiment with ideas and creativity has grown into a community that spans continents and connects people through shared experiences, emotions, and stories.

If there is one thread connecting it all, it is a desire to understand, remember, question, heal, and create through poetry, stories, music, and art.
