Growth for a Ghost
Daily writing promptShare a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.View all responses There is a special kind of grief reserved for those of us who must stay close to someone we no longer get to hold. Not because we want to. Not because we can’t let go. But because life built a bridge that still needs crossing—for the kids, for the schedule, for the shared responsibilities…
For the Moms Who Don’t Quit
The last photo of my Mom and I together. My mom is no longer here in body.But she’s here.In the resilience I respect.In the care I try to offer.In the quiet, determined power I still seek to understand.She did it all.Four boys.Homemade meals. Clean floors.School nights, science fairs, scraped knees, PTA meetings.She worked from home, started her own business, went to school,and made holidays…

Freedom, As I Know It
What does freedom mean to you? There’s a version of freedom I was sold.It came dressed in ambition and polished with approval.It said: be more, do more, control more.It measured liberty in output and influence.But freedom isn’t loud.It doesn’t shout its arrival.It doesn’t need a brand.To me, freedom is control of self.The kind that doesn’t flinch when tested.Not dominance… but discipline.Not…
The Letter I’ll Never Send
(for the love we waited for… and the silence that followed)Hey,There’s no anger in this. Not even confusion anymore. Just a still, low burning ache…the one that hums beneath the ribs when it’s too quiet to ignore. I think what hurts most is knowing I finally found the words, but now there’s no space to offer them. Not really.We used to wait for each other. Even when we were barely hanging on. You…

Journal Entry 05/05/2025: A Sanctuary of Me
Today, I found myself reflecting deeply on everything that’s happened since my divorce… on my ex, on the kids, on the home I lost, and the self I found.It’s strange, in a painful, poetic kind of way. I didn’t leave by choice. I was told it would be temporary… a week, maybe two. Then everything changed. That house, the one we began building our lives in, became hers. And I became the one standing…

Who I Admire (and Why It’s Not a List)
Daily writing promptList the people you admire and look to for advice…View all responses This might sound strange, but I don’t have a list of people I look up to. No inspirational icons pinned to my mental bulletin board. No singular voice I turn to for advice. Not because I think I know everything—far from it—but because I don’t believe any one person is more important than another. That’s not…

“Voting Isn’t Just a Ballot”
Daily writing promptDo you vote in political elections?View all responses Yes, I vote in elections. But not like a team sport. I don’t vote party lines, and I don’t confuse emotion with evidence. I vote for what’s rooted. I vote for what’s possible. But truth is, the ballot box isn’t the only place I cast a vote. I vote every time I show up for a conversation that matters. I vote when I choose…

What Gives You Direction in Life?
What gives you direction in life? Chaos gives me direction.I know—that probably sounds discomforting to most people. Even those who say they embrace the chaos still try to control it. But that’s the thing: you don’t control chaos. Chaos just is. You control how you respond to it. That response is not a reaction—it’s coherence.People think chaos means disorder. It doesn’t. That’s mayhem. Chaos is…
The Centering Power of a Quote
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? “Host it. Don’t ghost it.”When I was growing up, my mom and I used to collect quotes like other families might collect souvenirs. We’d scribble them down on notepads, print them out, tape them to mirrors or slip them between pages of books. Sometimes, it was just about sharing a feeling we didn’t have words for yet. Other times, it was…
The Holidays I Can’t Choose Between

Salvaged Dreams, Secondhand Hope
Buying Back My Gravity for $23 It doesn’t look like a beginning.It looks like a secondhand Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Big. Heavy. Silent. Unassuming. A printer built for gallery-quality prints—but even more than that, a hulking metaphor parked in the trunk of my car, waiting.It’s still there.I pick it up yesterday, but today’s the day the meaning lands with full weight. And maybe it hits harder…
