Baby Beast: fit log July 2016

These months really do add up fast. I just celebrated eight months (August 7th) that I have been steadily working out. This post however, will be discussing the gains I made in month seven. It’s been such a trip. I love it so much that even when I hate it I love it. You know, […]

Christians and Tattoos

A comment on my last article sparked my interest to write this one. Given how much I love Jesus and tattoos I’m surprised I haven’t already written it. Apparently, my words can be googled which I discovered when I couldn’t figure out how to search titles on my own blog via phone. I googled ‘Mindlesspeace […]

Saints Marching In {part two}

At some point I think I just exhausted myself and I could almost feel the walls around my heart come down. I decided to not be so guarded with people, that’s all I’ve ever been, so I quit and started letting people in. Turns out people have a lot to offer and some of them […]

Saints Marching In {part one}

It’s been a heck of an effort trying to piece together this article. I’ve written four other pieces just to avoid this one. The others are good, don’t get me wrong but I’ve been really trying to scribe this out. I came up with a quote, wrote about the memoir I have in the works. […]

Better

Goodbye My Love {see you later}

Does anyone else end up evaluating their entire existence when they get sick? I really hope I’m not the only person who swirls into this lost and lonely abyss. I don’t get sick often but when I do it feels like I got hit by a truck. Recently, I came down with a bad cold […]

Mondays are for Memoirs

Being a writer who can’t write is a frustration all its own but even in the midst of struggle, having drafts on drafts with no decent material, I still don’t believe in writer’s block. I feel like it’s an excuse more than anything. That’s like not working out because you’re not a bodybuilder, you have […]

Feel the Fear

Cold Coffee

I have this friend who gets great tattoos. I realize the word great is up for interpretation. In my opinion however, the tattoos she has are great ones. Well thought out images that spark inspiration. Hence, why I write about them. Ink Runs Deep was the first time I wrote about the art she wears. […]

Scream of Silence

I never thought it possible to miss a thing you’ve never had. Then it got quiet enough, actual quiet, silence not even blocked by white noise. The only interruption being a ticking clock. In the stillness I realized it is a reality, to be able to miss something you’ve never once had. What we truly […]
