The Illusion of Color
Over the weekend I painted a picture for fun and because I wanted to capture a feeling I had. Even though my skills don’t match my imagination, I enjoyed creating something full of color. I was reminded of a trip to French Polynesia. The colors there are brilliant and vivid. The flowers, the …
Slaying the Dragon: Fairy Tales and Real Life
In fairy tales sometimes a damsel in distress is about to be sacrificed to a fire-breathing dragon to save the village.

Making the Shift from Dear Diary to Journaling for Transformation
My first diary entries began at age 8. I was usually mad at my little sister or mad at my mother. There were weeks or months between entries. In high school I wrote about my crushes and recorded idiotic conversations in great detail. I also wondered about the meaning of life. I …
