It’s Been A While. Again: Starting Over for 2023 a Month Early

It’s been a minute. Well, more like a couple of months. Okay, almost five months. It’s been a while. Over the past few months, I got caught up in a few things that seem to eat away any free time. I also found myself facing burnout with writing and burnout with everything in general. The placeContinue reading “It’s Been A While. Again: Starting Over for 2023 a Month Early”

Revisiting Photography, Side Hustles, and Resurrecting My Online Photography Shops

Last year, I bought myself a used DSLR camera. I had aspirations of learning photography and selling my photos as a side hustle. A year later, that camera mostly sat, and I became distracted with other things. That hasn’t stopped me from still taking photos. The only things I use consistently are is my phoneContinue reading “Revisiting Photography, Side Hustles, and Resurrecting My Online Photography Shops”

Learning Balance: Moving Edition

I’m hoping I am nearing the end of a month-long process of moving. I got the keys last month, but the process has been slow going. I thought it would be quick like 1-2-3, and then boom. Done.

My Goals For Writing in 2022.

I started last year with a resolution to grow my writing. This included growing my freelance writing efforts and trying to grow more profitable.

Thanksgiving Nostalgia

As I grew older, I’ve been feeling myself become more nostalgic. I don’t yearn for memories or really good food or falling asleep at the dinner table (which has happened to me before). Instead, I grow nostalgic about the memories of my family and those simpler times. I know, it’s silly. As I kid, IContinue reading “Thanksgiving Nostalgia”

I Walked in a Crowd for the First Time Since March 2020

Last Sunday, I almost didn’t go. I almost talked myself out of going. But I didn’t want to waste money on another ticket. I was going to go. That morning, I gathered my camera, my bag, my mask, sunglasses, water, and sanitizer and drove to the airfield. This past weekend, I went out into myContinue reading “I Walked in a Crowd for the First Time Since March 2020”

Picking Photography Back Up

Photography is something I’ve always had an interest in and took every opportunity to dabble in. For the longest time, I used a Canon Powershot from 2010 that still works for a lot of shots. When I got my first smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy II, the initial release of Instagram timed together perfectly. And forContinue reading “Picking Photography Back Up”
