As some of you might know, April is National Poetry Writing Month, also known as "NaPoWriMo." Some people try to write a poem every day, which is truly awesome!

Medal Monday
Over the years, I have amassed a number of medals from the different races and runs I've completed. Some of them are silly, such as the medal in the shape of a plate of pie which I got for doing a Pi/Pie Day run a few years back. A few are whimsical, such as the … Continue reading Medal Monday

With age comes wisdom (or so they say), and so I've been reflecting on my life and the various intellectual, emotional, and spiritual journeys I've taken throughout the years. I'm no wise sage, but there is … Continue reading Birthday Wisdom
True Confessions of My Mild Life
It's interesting how things come together sometimes. I had mentioned a silly little confession in my banana bread post a few weeks ago, not thinking very much about it. Well, a friend of mine read it and suggested that I should write up an entire post about some of my confessions. Since I'm always trying … Continue reading True Confessions of My Mild Life
