Creative behind Tension & Territory on Substack. The Honest Observer. I write about holding the tension between faith and reality. Take a gander, or don't. Betchya you'd feel left out if you don't.

Real talk: Imposter syndrome is hitting hard today. I just finished a short guide for my #Substack subscribers. When does the line between sharing wisdom and actually mastering it stop feeling so blurry? Maybe the truth is we’re all just "mastering" it out loud. 🤷🏿♀️

I've been writing for a few weeks now, and while the subject matter is different, I am beginning to feel like the sound of my writing is beginning to sound repetitive. Has anyone experienced this when they started? #substack #substackwriters #writing

Who chose the ugly, plain TV score board for #SuperBowlLIX ??? Why didn't they go with an animated version of the beautiful beadwork created by #queentahj they chose for the logo as the background?

Oddly enough, I took a screenshot of this moments ago and received, "You're a celebrity." So this one checks out. When life gives you 🍋, accept a prepared list of a set number of responses from a random person on the internet as an encouragement to keep you from loosing your ever living shit 🤗💁🏾♀️.

Fake activists who shake their fists in the air for societal issues but wouldn't do what they are saying others should do is the worst kind of human. Put up or shut up.

I admit I actually struggled to get my 🐦 feed to be interesting enough to look at, I too struggle with curating #BlueSky. I am also finding it a tad hard to follow a lot of posts too because they appear to be stand alone posts that are replies to other posts but do not have the og post attached.

I love looking at people’s personal libraries. Especially the books that people tell me they read over and over throughout their lives.
It’s like seeing the foundational texts of someone’s life, values and interests.
What are your personal foundational texts?
