Black-and-white photograph of a sunlit wooden table. A short glass filled with a dark drink and ice sits near the left side, garnished with a few celery stalks. Strong afternoon light casts long diagonal shadows across the surface. Beside the glass lies a dark fountain pen, and to the right an open notebook rests in a leather cover, its handwritten pages partially illuminated by the light.

Writing on a Tuesday afternoon.

​A warm, dimly lit writing desk at night. An open, blank journal with a red ribbon marker sits in the foreground, a fountain pen resting on its pages. Beside it, a floral teacup wisps with steam. A vintage oil lamp glows brightly, casting a golden light over an hourglass, a small succulent, and a wooden apothecary-style chest of drawers. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of golden bokeh lights, creating a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.

​The moment the biographer’s life and the subject’s continuing presence enter active conversation is numinous. It’s no longer just research; it’s a haunting, a dialogue across time where "then" and "now" merge.🖋️✨

Happy International Animation Day!
Thinking of my dad and his shadow puppet skill. Those flickering shapes on our living room wall were among my first experiences of storytelling.

3 smiling, light-colored golden retrievers sitting and laying on a king size bed

Making the bed with 3 “helpful” golden retrievers means more flops, wiggles, and tail thumps than straightened sheets. Welcome chaos every time.

Never underestimate the pure magick of an Epsom salt bath, fresh sheets, a cat’s purr, a dog’s tail wagging in its sleep, and watching fountain pen YouTube to ground out the day.

A glass ink jar, alongside of a tatot deck with silver edges, and a translucent purple fountain pen, on top of a light teal-covered journal

Journal prepped, cards ready, pen inked--I'm set for Day Two, hanging with friends at the Northwest Tarot Symposium.

The first drops tapped the dry cedar deck like a thousand tiny dancers, their rhythm waking the mossy scent long held hostage by weeks of heat.

It's more than entertainment. Stories teach us how to be human. They’ve carried our knowledge, values, and dreams through the ages, adapting as we do. Oral traditions became written epics. Myths evolved into novels, films, and virtual realities.
