Not as optimistic as I used to be. I write some, I paint some, I read a lot. Some things that are important to me: CPTSD, Fibromyalgia, Elder Care, being an Ally, and democracy. I'll hold your hand if you'll hold mine.

I feel like the country I grew up in no longer exists. I…don’t even know how to process that.

Just playing around with color (watercolor w/a bit of ink).

My first ever watercolor dog. Not gonna lie, I was terrified when I was painting it. Took me about 4 days to finish. I'm fairly pleased with it but know I need lots more practice. Still, it's an accomplishment for the new year!

Healing means understanding some parts of you will be unlikeable, difficult or even an inconvenience for others to handle. Healing will never result in you being a perfect people pleaser, it’s not supposed to.

Yes, I do paint other things besides holiday themes. 😉 This is a moluccan cockatoo, one of my favorite birds.

Kind of feel like this one got a way from me a bit. Ah well, was still fun to do!

Confession: I use egg nog as my coffee creamer during the holiday season. And I'm not ashamed to admit it. 😉

My first puffin! He's a bit on the whimsical side, but I kind of like that about him. :)

A deeply personal piece by my wife Ayesha and I about the hell insurance companies have put us through to get the life saving care our daughter needs to live.

We're sharing because her story is sadly all too common. I have a platform & I intend to use it:
