I've shied away from this calling for too long. Since I was a child, I've been drawn to the way language can create other worlds, how it transmits untold messages, and how it can become most anything at all. It's moldable and fluid. It was the hiding place I used to run to when other …

There is so much power in the way that we think. This has been proven in a variety of ways, we know this, and yet it can be so difficult to maintain a positive outlook. As creative people, we feel emotions so deeply, and revisit those emotions over again to pour them into our craft. …
I was sitting in my room watching this past NCAA Gymnastics Championship when it hit me: so many of the seniors got a sendoff as they were exiting their time as an athlete in the sport. They were able to prepare themselves for the end. They were celebrated and hugged and got to stand on …

The unknown hasn't been looking so scary lately; in fact, it's been looking like somewhere I want to be more often. After all, they say that there's …
