What’s DYAC?

Where did Actions Speak Louder than Wombats come from?  Well, I can’t really claim the credit on this one.  Sometimes, the work of a health & human services non-profit can be intractable.

Louder than Wombats

Girls, Photography & Books

I know some people might be thinking I could be writing on the many *obnoxious* goings-on in our Federal government right now, but I’ll be honest: I’m getting so frustrated at the polarization and absurdity that I’ve disengaged in watching CNN for a little while to focus on my own personal journey.

A Photographic Update of Springtime

Where have I been for 2.5 months? Well… Just a few tidbits about how I’ve been trying to (constructively) spend my time.  This summer I plan to do more painting, refinish my new dining room table, try some more writing, camp (a lot), read (a lot),yoga and work out, and take an art class.  It’s [...]

MICROPHILANTHROPY: The Proverbial Latte Factor and Facebook Movements

We can’t all be Bill Gates’ with huge amounts of money to start world-changing foundations…but we can do the same thing on an individual scale in our own lives.  Cue inspirational music: That’s micro-philanthropy!  At United Way, we’ve entitled the most basic form of microphilathropy the “proverbial

First tries

This is my first try at poetry in a while; a step towards achieving my resolutions. Don’t ask an author to interpret; the intention was for me to write from my rhythm of life…and for you to interpret for your life. Clicking Slow, electric clicks Lights and soundless empty Blue beige Close your eyes

Fulfilling my role as “citizen journalist”: My thoughts on the State of the Union and President Obama’s plans

It wasn’t a speech that had President Obama’s biggest supporters saying “Hell yeah!” Even the standard set of opponents wasn’t incredibly rancorous about the whole thing. In fact, I went in search of other people’s reactions to the speech to have something worthy of writing about it. What’s interest
