My disposition may drip sweet like prickly pear honey, honey, and I may step lightly on my toes and on the feelings of others, but I ain’t no fragile lady who needs protection or a broken bird that needs fixin’. I sure as hell ain’t no wind-up doll here for your pleasin’. *** For too …

Dancing Tumbleweed (video)
Writing requires me to pull everything in and focus on every step of the process.

He Sketched Her ~ III (flash fiction)
The swishing in her head and the pounding in her chest increased with each step. A decade of sales presentations had taught her how to relax her mind and control her breath, but those skills were no match for the magnetic strength of fate, pulling her toward a man who was creating his future with …
He sketched Her ~ II (flash fiction)
She had enough of his relentless demands; one deal barely closed before he expected more. She needed a break, she needed to breathe. He said he’d return quickly with the next sales lead.

my inspired blog back story
I wanted so much to just disappear; I did not want to talk to anyone, but most people need their goodbyes. I have had too many of them to need any more. "What are you going to do?" she asked me, as I was rolling my last cart of personal belongings to my car. Dammit, …
Truth Seekers
In this day-to-day automated existence, too many people skim the surface. It is safer there. Plenty of time is spent skimming, but less purpose and commitment is found there. Less knowing and truthfulness too. Shallow swimming. Shallow breathing. Shallow connections. Shallow living. But in the depths, swim the truth seekers, where things are murky, where …
