We’ve had a beautiful few days in Dublin; the nicest weather all year. It’s made for some amazing crowds on the street; lots of musicians and even a piano in the middle of the street! I definitely wanted to give some money away today but felt a bit apprehensive about it. People here are generally […]

I’ve been pretty busy getting ready to go to Ireland but knew I wanted to give some money away today. I’m not sure what I will do about the hundreds while we are traveling. I’ll definitely put up some photos and blog posts when I can. While I was taking care of some paperwork at […]

It’s about a (still) homeless woman, Carey Fuller, who lived for years in a Minnie Winnebago with her two kids. She writes a blog about her experiences feeling alone and invisible, and […]

I was in kind of a crummy mood when I left work today. No particular reason, just one of those days. As I breezed through the lobby I noticed a guy at the front desk that I didn’t recognize and I just blew right by. A mumbled “Have a good one” followed me as the […]

You know what’s strange? Cheryl and Paul’s car is still at the tire shop. I was very surprised, and a little worried, to see it today when I drove by. I was on my way to a coffee shop to do some serious writing. I hear that’s where writers do their best work. Someone asked […]
