8.20 sunday musings
I was coming into this post feeling as if I had nothing to say for today. Which is okay, when I have nothing to write. Or is it? Is that the kind of value that I want to uphold? Any kind of success is not going to come from zero production. I don’t want to…

currently reading and listening
A late Tolkien Tuesday, as I’m currently reading The Two Towers. …well, I’m reading Two Towers at night and reading Meat Eater by Steve Rinella during the day. I’m aiming to finish at least these two for the remainder of the month. My optimistic August reading goals include two other books about child trafficking. I…

once we were wolves
Once We Were Wolves – A movie by Cameron Hanes https://youtu.be/TRPYDZmFkss Cam Hanes’ beautiful tribute to his best friend, Roy Roth, who passed away in 2015 due to a horrible hunting accident.

july 2023 reading wrap-up

I am very excited to move books around and have a little change of scenery on my shelves. I’m not entirely sure how I’ll organize yet, but I’m sure when…

new books 7.20.23
My most recently acquired books The audio that I used on instagram for this little stack is so fitting. Because that’s what I have to do with books that will be heavy or classics that I know may take me longer. If I keep putting it off, that’s that much less time I’ll have to…

7.18 and fuck socialism
I meant for a Monday motivation post yesterday, but life had other plans. So here is some Tuesday motivation, if you are interested (I know I am). Keep getting after it. The more you do when you don’t feel like it, the more resilient you’ll be when you have long days. And just think, if…
