Put On A Happy Face
“You have to be intentional about giving yourself something to look forward to. You have to prioritize your joy.” — Allan Watts You ever have a day when reality and the way things actually — TRULY — are hits you smack dab right in the middle of the face? Yeah. Me too. Had one recently… Continue reading Put On A Happy Face
Adapt Or Die
Of all the characteristics that make up the human race, the one most fascinating to me is our ability to adapt. I have experienced this dramatically on several occasions: Losing my freedom. Losing my marriage. Losing my purpose. Adapt or die. Get busy livin’, or get busy dyin’. The alternative to action in both quotes… Continue reading Adapt Or Die
I’ll Be Happy When
My grandma died early Saturday morning. She was 96 years old. She lived a long, blessed life and for that I am grateful. But her departure is also a reminder: death is coming for us all. So when I find myself in a self-placed conditional constraint cycle, ruminating things like I’ll be happy when I… Continue reading I’ll Be Happy When
Summer Vibes
It’s already a thousand degrees in Houston, so it must be summer! Woo hoo! School’s out! Let’s play! If you’re like me, those are the kind of thoughts that come when I reminisce about summertime vibes. For me growing up in central Illinois, summer was an open call for being outdoors all the time!

Over the last month I have been doing a lot of art festivals. And while it’s exhilarating and fun and exciting and uplifting (for the most part), it’s also a lot of work. I imagine the majority of people don’t realize the amount of work — the physical labor, the logistics, the stress — that… Continue reading Dream, Dream, Dream
There’s Still Hope
Friends, let’s have some real talk: I’m concerned about our youth. If I project the future based on my experiences with young people, I get overwhelmed with worry. A generation of helicopter parenting and babysitting screens has left kids untested and unprepared to deal with the harsh reality of LIFE. Life is hard. To be… Continue reading There’s Still Hope
It Only Takes One Shot
Golf isn’t my God-given gift, but I love to golf. I haven’t done it for a while, because I know my obsessive self. I know that if I get out there and hit just one good shot out of a thousand I’ll be golfing 36 holes a day, seven days a week, chasing after that… Continue reading It Only Takes One Shot
Bold Journey
Bold Journey did a Jeff Lung Art interview. Hot dog! Looks pretty dope! Omergerd… I am pretty sure they interview just about any one… but still. It looks cool. And remember, I’m all about: does it look cool? Check it out!
The Work Is For Me
If you like it — if ANYONE likes it and WANTS it — and CARES enough to offer funds in order to INVITE it into his/her home… then that’s gravy, baby. That’s just gravy. You see, if I’m not paying attention, I find myself being led towards audience capture. I find myself making things that… Continue reading The Work Is For Me
