Reflections

  • Progress… the God’s magnificent.

    “March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life’s path.” Progress, not perfection.  That’s a motto I have been trying to follow more and more every day. I feel there has been progression in my life,  even though…

  • Raise your voice, sticks, and stones.

    So here we are…knocking on the big 5 0. I made it this far. And I am grateful for it. I believe that I’m very fortunate to be where I am right now, given another day to get to where I want to go… where I want to be. Getting there. Putting my foot down…

  • Be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

    Recently, my wife and I were discussing our day, and I shared an observation that I have made in the past, which has come up again. Why is it that some people don’t know how to accept kindness and consideration? It’s like they don’t know what to do with it. Even something as simple as a…

  • Things aren’t the way they were before.

    I’m an overweight,  middle-aged dude who has OCD, mixed depression anxiety disorder, social issues, and was a victim of grooming and abuse….think that covers most of it. Not to mention the offshoots or branches that come off such things. How did we get here? How has it driven my life? Is it like this forever?…

  • Off of this chest and I rest again peacefully.

    “You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it“ Don’t know about others,  but sometimes I think about who I really am. How authentic I’m being to myself and others. What level of dishonesty am I carrying or projecting to protect myself from myself and the outside world. I’ve admittedly…

  • Knew not who I was, but listen here.

    We all do. We all have the freedom to choose.  Even if life is not ideal, or the stack is against you, there’s choices and decisions that can be made. I know in my life, especially the last year, it has been challenging. But I had a choice. Do I wallow and perpetuate the negative,…

  • Bad Banana.

    The holidays are upon us….but you know what? I’m not really feeling it. I find also, the older I get, the less, to be honest,  care. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bah-humbug. You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch thing, but the holidays got so…meaningless.  So blah. So… whatever. All my issues aside, the…

  • Yes, I’m older. Yes, I’m moving on…

    Here we are…light at the end of this year’s tunnel. I realize the older I get, more and more things change. Your body, your looks, your mindset, your attitudes. Change is inevitable regardless,  but as you get older, it hits different…at least I think so. Things become somewhat clearer, priorities change. Some changes are natural, …

  • The Bright Side of Life – Melissa Bright

    Today, I’d like to give a special shout out to a person I have met on my journey. Her name is Melissa Bright, and she is a self-worth coach. In the short time I’ve talked to her and interacted, she’s been a big help. I highly recommend you check her out on TikTok, Instagram, and…

  • Good times gone, and you missed them…

    Tis the season…for me, this year, to be frank, sucked. Can’t wait for it to be over. It’s so bitter sweet, but here I am. As I get older,  It seems like I realize things even clearer now than ever before….but the spirits willing, but the flesh weak. Got the blueprint and the tools, but…
