1000 Posts.

One. Thousand. Posts.  A thousand posts.  That’s quite a lot of random musings amassed over the course of eight years, and I have to say, it’s been a long, challenging, exciting, tiring, but ultimately satisfying ride.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about (and damn near highly considered) quitting this blog.  On many a day, it has seemed like a complete waste of time…but in the end, the passion to communicate and the deep drive to create and express wins out.  

I consider myself a writer, and Writers Write.  I don’t believe that a writer should write for likes and follows. I believe that a writer should write what’s written on the inside.  Sounds cheesy and cliche, but it’s true. We all have a message or messages within us, just waiting to see the light of day; we all have a voice waiting to be spoken in whatever medium gives it life. Convey it, whatever it may be.  

No preachy preaching from me, though…just write. You can’t reach everyone….so just be true to yourself and create.  Cast your net out there…it doesn’t matter how big it is.  If you can snag a few fish, then smile.  If you don’t, keep going and smile anyway. Do your thing, stick with it, be consistent, and give your voice a stage.  And most importantly, many, many thanks to those that have taken part in the journey!  Your support is priceless, and I thank you.

Poems from the Vault – Rise.

I really needed to be reminded of this message today (I mean I really needed to hear it); I hope that you can find some value in it as well.  Take a moment to read and absorb the words (oh, it won’t take long)…if so, thank you for reading!  Let’s put in the leg work and go after those dreams and goals.  Today is the best day to start/continue.  Be well, and Stay Creative.




SnowPorn.

Today’s selection is a SnowPorn pick on steroids; a quaint little space smack dab in the middle of a mountain.  What’s not to love?  If you’re an admirer of snowy solitude and the peaceful benefits that it provides, then this is your place…you can’t get more remote than this.  Clean lines and large windows…ample sunlight, and a bold, boss view looking right out into the depths of this wintry expanse.  Throw in some coffee and I’m golden.  Let the daydreams commence.

Light your fire, grab your coffee (or wine), snag your book…and cozy up to the warmth of this week’s great wintry space.

Library Lusting.

Sometimes you just crave comfort; the ability to sit back, kick the feet up, and just chill.  This week’s space is that kind of place.  It’s got that quiet, subdued, organic, laid back vibe that would mesh well with sunny afternoons, dreary rainy days, and every day in between.  It’s got just enough rough hewn elements to give it some edge, and just enough comfort tones to make you want to dive right in.  The tidy little book collection doesn’t hurt either.  Let the daydreams commence. 




Library Lusting.

Sometimes, many different flavors can combine to create one larger, greater concoction.  Such is the case with this week’s space.  This room is somewhat of a gumbo; many varied elements and premises all tossed carefully and creatively into one large stew pot.  We’ve got some comfort elements (plush chairs and a sofa) for maxing and relaxing, a studious little nook (a great little desk and window pairing) for taking care of business, a fireplace for a little heat and crackle, and a mass of books so large that this room could double as the east wing of your local library.  It has it all, and it just works.  This is without a doubt a book lover’s room.  Let the daydreams commence.
