  • Writing For No One, Writing For Me

    It’s not at all surprising but today I enabled site stats using JetPack((https://jetpack.com/)) and saw that my site has had zero visitors. As I mentioned I’m not at all surprised by this since I’ve told no one about it. In the past, I’ve wanted to have a successful blog with a community and, to be…

  • Social Media Break: Day 30

    I did it. I thought this break would give me a bit of clarity on how I wanted to use social media going forward. It didn’t. Over the last 30 days, I was very aware of every time I picked up my phone to open Facebook or Twitter multiple times a day up to and…

  • Finding My Place In The World

    I’ve struggled with the direction of my entire life. I spent some time in the military and decided to do the full 20 and retire. Then I allowed others’ opinions to become my own and got out after eight years. I’ve had no issues staying at jobs for years at a time, but a lot…

  • SM Break: Day One

    After deleting Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from my phone yesterday there was some big “Ok, what now” energy. I made a list of things to do whenever I’m feeling bored and I’m going to get a die so I can roll that if nothing looks appealing. If I go that route then I have to…

  • 30 Day Social Media Break

    I decided to ditch social media for the next 30 days which is something I haven’t done in the past. I’ve tried to limit myself using various methods but I always seem to go over what I allow myself. This morning I posted a message on facebook that I would be taking a 30 day…
