FEATURED BOOK OF THE MONTH

Jay And Char Save The Galaxy

Delivery jobs don’t usually come with a side of heroism.

Husband and wife duo Jay and Char run a transport starship-for-hire. They haul cargo and passengers across the galaxy—for the right price. Is it the prestigious job Jay’s mother wished he had? No, but disappointing her was nothing new.

When a pair of nonhuman travelers booked passage on Jay and Char’s ship, they failed to mention the whole host of trouble they’d be bringing with them. Now, the fate of the galaxy is in jeopardy, and it’s somehow up to a pair of middle-aged interplanetary freight haulers to fix it.

And the bigger question is: Will saving the galaxy finally be enough to make it onto Jay’s mom’s holiday brag letter?

The Words People Choose Tell You Who They Are

March 6, 2020

Photo by Wonderlane on Unsplash I have been thinking a lot this week about the words people choose and why they decide on them. I’ve written before about how words can have multiple meanings, power and empower, and that words matter. But that’s all an oversimplification, really. Words can build or destroy. They...

Is Practice Doing or Trying?

February 28, 2020

Short answer - doing. More in-depth - practice is action. Understanding this can open you to some awesome things. Many people live by the phrase “practice makes perfect.” The problem is, I think they tend to misunderstand both the intent and true meaning of that phrase. To me, “practice” is...
