Shadoobie, scattered
Like dandelion seeds. Dandelion is a corruption of the French "dent de lion" or "lion's tooth", referring to the coarsely toothed leaves. A dandelion is not just a weed but also an early and important source of nectar for pollinators. I appreciate them more now that I've seen my mason bees sipping from them!

My energies have been somewhat scattered between day job, fiction writing, gardening, travel and knocking out to-dos. I'm about to scatter them even more. I signed up for a Patreon account to get the legacy pricing structure. I feel like a dog playing Monopoly -- I have (almost) no idea what I'm doing.

I have recently renewed my enjoyment of drawing silly things with an iPad app. I'll do my very best to share the fun consistently.

FutureMe: Intention Magnet

Setting expectations for our FutureSelves starts a subtle magnetic, magical pull toward fulfilling them. Send a letter to yourself in the future...and see how much you've accomplished by then.

When you've let the wrong one in

A former friendship with a sex offender damaged my ability to be vulnerable, yet set me on a path to greater openness and compassion.

Rubber food

The chance to eat this treat will bounce back to me again. So I don’t need to eat it this time.

Past my bedtime: Richard Brautigan's works

I first read Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America as a teenager. I didn't really understand it, but I liked the playful absurdism and dark humor. It inspired several silly stories of my own. I'm making my way through several of his works again and am enjoying them much more this time.
