Just Breathe We all need a Sabbath. Take time to breathe, to decompress, to renew your mind. Color. Write a poem. Make something. Play. Take your mind out of the weekly funk, and bring it somewhere new.
Show Your Work! (Throwback Thursday)
I didn't want to become a shameless self-promoter. Even now, I have moments where I show my work, and I worry that I'm driving friends and family insane. Oh, there's Rob again with a post about his damn book. Oh, another art piece. When will it stop?

Life Measured in Projects
I've been measuring my life by projects as long as I can remember. You could say I have a history of taking on huge, chunky projects and letting them frame the narrative of what my life is like during a season.

A 2019 List
I'm going to write out my 2019 as if I've already done all this crazy stuff. Join with me and think about your 2019.
