The WordPress team let me know over the weekend that I’ve been blogging with them for 12 years. It seems like yesterday that I began making an art website and blog at WordPress in January 2011 and published my ABOUT page on the 17th.

Quality In Our Lives
Today’s topic is a recurring theme in many of my stories. As a writer, I think life lessons make the best themes. When I’m not writing, I sometimes draw to keep the visual artist in me in shape (I’m an artist by trade who enjoys writing fiction). Like any exercise, I think it’s healthiest to … Continue reading Quality In Our Lives
