I Lived Out Of A Suitcase For Over A YearTop Story - August 2021
I always believed that the secret to a beautiful life was partially embedded in having more stuff. You've heard it as well. Get a well-paying job and career. Buy the white picket fence and slide a couple, or three, nice cars right in. Preferably the kind made in Germany and that warm your butt on cold days.

I'm Pretty Sure I May Have Just Become A Terrible GrandparentTop Story - August 2021
It was hot as hell, and I couldn't believe they didn't sit our group inside. Yet here we were, sitting in a covered patio with old school fans blowing warm air on us on a 95 degree Texas summer afternoon. And worse than that is we were about to be served some chips and salsa.

Knocking Boots Helped Me Get My Writing Mojo Back
I bet we're a lot alike, you and me. We both love to write. We have always loved to write, and I am sure that it is because of the effect writing has on us.

Quitting isn't always a bad thing. And in certain circumstances, it's also not a good thing either. The line between throwing in the towel or putting more effort into it can be fuzzy. Hazy even.

4 Reasons Why Ambitious Introverts Will Rule The World
I never knew I was an introvert until the day I did. My childhood was pretty standard. I mean, I had friends, went to public schools, did all the stuff a "normal" kid did. But it was the things that "normal" kids didn't do that set me apart.

This Is Why I'll Never Return To An Office Again, Ever
Twenty-one years ago, I became unemployed and unemployable. Or basically, I went freelance and became my own boss. Over the course of those decades, there've been some very high highs and lows that would throw even Johnny Cash in a tizzy. But one thing is for sure, and that is that I have zero regrets.
