i have a very ambitious spider that lives in my window. he toils and spins his mighty web no matter how often i knock down all his work. talk about being driven. talk about accomplishment. that spider's got the stuff. it's truly impressive. i've been thinking a lot about ambition and drive lately - about …
Sunshine vs the Black Hole
Yes the warmth of the fall sun beckons me today. although i have yet to leave this building. The dishwasher sounds like a monster in the next room... roaring out it's song, doing it's duty. but that's neither here nor there. I had a pretty intense talk with elijah the other night - I finally …
previously unattained level of freedom…
could the weather be any more gorgeous today? shooting one of the last two weddings of the year today. oddly enough Chloe woke up this morning 100% fine. so strange how kid illness works. electric guitar riffs waft up the stairs and through the walls - tracking in the main room today. i'm happy we …
disillusioned
what happens when the thing you've been working toward and building for all of your adult life begins to take shape before your very eyes? what happens when you've worked as hard as you can, spent hours and hours and countless moments of sacrifice - literal blood sweat and tears, and when the next level …
waiting…
Lots of little balls up in the air... lots of waiting... and there's no rushing it. Knowing you're right where God wants you does help, i must admit - if i didn't know ultimately He was the One in charge, i think i'd be having a little more of a hard time with all this …
confessions of a reject
ok, so being really honest is scary. i sat and stared at the last post for about 20 minutes before i posted it. it just puts so much skin in the game. i sat down with a lovely woman yesterday over coffee and had wonderful conversation. we both had the same philosophy - just get …
i’m just being honest…
i started off this whole blog endeavor thinking i just wouldn't tell anyone i was writing it... because i knew what would happen if anyone ever read it... i knew i would be afraid of what they would think. the ever ominous "They"... and sure enough i went back and hid my first post, i …
Jesus. help.
i hate this feeling. i'm angry and don't really know why. i hate being such an external processor. having feelings just bump around on the inside and feeling so agitated and having NO CLUE what's really going on. i mean i could focus on the simple surface stuff... but that doesn't really get me anywhere. …
things i hate
feeling generally frustrated today. i hate tensions over money. if you have it, if you don't, it seems like the source of so much frustration. i hate it. i hate that we have to have it to live. i hate that it's such a sneaky little weevil that no matter how much you have, you …
Out of the Darkness
I've come to understand over the years that all of life really is about perspective. How we see things, through the lens of our experience and emotion and thought processes, determines how we interpret every single teeny tiny thing that comes our way - well, big or small... the events that our lives consist of …
