The Need to Balance Perseverance and Patience

January 9, 2021

Perseverance and patience are the keys to getting where you desire to go. Patience has never been my strong suit. That’s why, after 24 years, I finally named my primary fencing sword Patience. This is important because it is a reminder that it takes not only perseverance – but patience to get anywhere with anything. When I was healing after getting hit by the car, I persevered and worked my ass off to recover as

The Work/Life Balance

January 2, 2021

Even as an independent, self-employed writer – striking the work/life balance is a necessity. While there are obligations I need to meet to contribute to my household, for the most part, I’m accountable to only myself. Embracing my brand and its affiliated parts – writing (fiction and nonfiction), editing, podcasting, public speaking – requires certain actions to be most effective, efficient, and rewarding. Recently, I wrote about creating a routine. I hadn’t realized how badly

Success in This Bizarre Year

December 12, 2020

What a bizarre year 2020 has been. However, it’s not been without success. When you look at the big picture of the outside world, you can’t miss how messed-up 2020 has been. Between the most contentious, ludicrous, mind-numbingly awful election in memory; an out-of-control global pandemic; a narcissistic man-child who cares only for himself and his power; and the uncertainty of how it will play out – we’re all rather exhausted. Many people have experienced

For the Love of…

December 5, 2020

Doing what you love is not selfish or in any way inappropriate. Work should not eat your life away and make you miserable. And yet, many, many people buy this as the truth. Loving what you do, being happy with the job you have isn’t important. Making money is what matters. How come we believe this? Because it’s “the way it’s always been” and “the norm” and similar bullshit claims. Once upon a time, humankind
