This website/blog/podcast landing port developed from my life experiences. 

What led me to start such a landing site? I first began writing in earnest under the tutelage of Minerva McGee the finest example of teacher/mentor/friend anyone could ever hope to encounter on this path we refer to as 'life'. 

I was asked to write for Tiger Tales, started small, short poems and the like. But over the decades that followed I journaled about specific experiences, odd journeys, pain and joy. 

My personal  theme on which I often reflect is one of unwavering hope. I have no special talent or skill, but I have invested the proverbial 10,000 hours to become proficient in certain pieces of the puzzle we strive to assemble as long we we draw breath.

As a guest/visitor here, you are part of a fantastic community. You read, you inquire, you ask, you show up. Perhaps today you will influence my story. Just maybe your comments will provide others with encouragement they need? There is a large cadre of advice givers out there, but on occasion if you ask I will do my best to answer questions and provide advice/solutions/ideas.

Thank you so much for being part of this community. There are plenty of ways that you can become more involved. And, one day soon, I will begin publishing a monthly newsletter. My goal is to build a site considered a resource and safe haven. Enjoy.
