Writers Don’t Just Sit and Type on the Computer All Day in Their PJ’s!
Today’s web writing myth does have a bit of truth to it. But, don’t most myths emerge from specks of truth? Certainly, I’ve done a great deal of my writing while wearing a ratchet old t-shirt and sweatpants or shorts. Those are essentially my PJ’s. However, that’s not what web writers do. We don’t just […]
Number One (Poetry)
The first time I heard you Your voice really got to me The words were such nonsense Yet I still put it on repeat When you hit number one The obsession had just begun You didn’t even know what You’d really just won No one hit wonder Your voice tore me asunder You’re still my […]
What I Would Have Looked LIke Today with HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
For several weeks, I’ve been posting filtered pictures of myself. But, in reality, they aren’t that filtered. That is the person God intended me to be. But, it took 22 years of seemingly endless trials and errors to realize it. So, yes, that really is me. I’m just sick and need the correct help that […]
We’re All in This Together – Be Love & Spread Love!
Let me tell ya sumthin’: When life kicks you in the ass and leaves you in the mud, and people walk by and laugh and joke, pick yourself up and just smile and go on spreading love. That’s the only way to fight hate, ignorance, and selfishness. It’s the hard road a lot of times, […]
Even Flow (Poetry)
Let the light flow Let the darkness go Find it within you That even flow I take up my cross Splintered and worn Only By His Grace I’ve been reborn The light inside Was so compromised But Jesus Christ Exposed the lies Even flow Expose your sin Let it show This facade is now Wearing […]
Musings on Aesthetics, Rhythms, Thoughts, and Perceptions
Life has a particular rhythm. Each heartbeat has its own wavelength, each being its own aesthetic. It is our unique senses of aesthetic and our unique perceptions and interpretations of Life’s rhythms and patterns that make us all individuals. Some of these interpretations, perceptions, and senses may not make a whole lot of sense to […]
The Face is My Canvas
I have a major confession to make. My pictures on the Phoenix Desertsong have been edited and filtered. However, there’s a very, very good reason for it. The reason I continue to post these pictures is for my own self-care, mental health, and self-medicated transitional therapy. These pictures are my goals. No, I may never […]
Shield of Sekhmet Tarot Card Spread – July 26th, 2020
Mystical Cats Tarot is my life! While I am a Christian now, tarot readings were my daily centering ritual. So, I now pray to God to guide me through my daily one-card reading. But, on Sunday, I do a three-card reading. This was a particularly insightful 3 card spread today. The Shield of Sekhmet involves […]
A Meditation on John 13:34
The Holy Bible is full of some extremely powerful lines of Scripture. But, when I was reading my daily entry in the Our Daily Bread app today, something struck me. It was a verse I know quite well from my youth – John 13:34. I’ll quote the New King James translation here, since it is […]
“The 25/15 Rule” for Better Productivity
I read lots of productivity stuff. Honestly, a lot of it’s common sense and starts to repeat itself. What stands out to me is the “rules” people make for themselves to be more productive. I’ve tried many productivity tips over the years. Even when some sounded good, I never find myself able to stick with […]
