”The Ottoman”
Some objects aren’t valuable because of what they cost. They’re valuable because they quietly become part of who we are and how we rest. Continue reading

“Learning While Moving”
July 12, 2026 – 9:13 a.m. Morning. Another day moving to the rhythm of responsibilities. Like every day. Never enough time to do everything I’d like. Life. My life. Today I’m wearing a blue shirt and green pants. I guess I’m feeling a little earthy today. I’m constantly on YouTube. I don’t really feel guilty… Continue reading

”The House Remembers”

“A Different Kind of Speed”
July 11, 2026 – 12:55 p.m. Not really thinking about writing today. But… It helps me. My furball is in his window. Blue sky outside. The vacuum is going full blast to my right.

“The Bucket System”
What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective? July 9, 2026 – 8:44 a.m. Morning. Tired. A little tired today. Had a long-ass drive yesterday doing deliveries out in Northridge, California. Didn’t get home until around 10:30 at night. Anyway… I can hear sirens off to my left. An ambulance just passed by.… Continue reading

“Give Me Your Hand”
What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger? July 8, 2026 – 9:29 a.m. Morning. Slept a little longer than normal. Went to bed around 2 in the morning. I was drawing. I was creating. Which is kind of crazy because I normally don’t stay up that late drawing, but lately… Continue reading

“Labeled”
For years I believed I had to become someone else before I could call myself an artist. Maybe the hardest label to let go of is the one we quietly accepted about ourselves. Continue reading
