As I sat in my reading chair, enjoying a quiet moment to read one of the dozen or so books in which I currently have a bookmark (reminding me again that I really wish I would find more occasion to enjoy sitting down to read…) I noticed the interesting tale that my book choices tell….

How To Write Good
There is no shortage of sharing these days thanks to the wonderful world wide web. I receive many forwarded emails from my dads, and I see many friends posting via Facebook and other such media various content created by others. Below is one share that I decided must be shared again! I’m not sure these…
To Write
I need to write. And yet, I let my days go by without intentionally making that happen. I have myriad reasons for it. Some practical, some less so. Quite often, I might just actually not have a moment long enough to flesh out these thoughts within me between all of the other things and people…
Ch-ch-ch-chia!
We all know the tune to those words (I’m sure you were just singing it as you read them) and we also probably all chuckle at the thought of those funny little (gag?) gifts from the 90s. (Yes, I know, they’re still around!) This week, though, a friend recommended them to me in a non-gag…
The Way Things Are
When I think of the ugliness of the way most of us selfishly fight to get what is “ours”, often based on an unnecessary fear of rejection and/or insecurity… my heart is saddened almost to the point of despair. Why, God? Is this the beautiful world you created? Quickly my mind is ushered to the…
[FromTheArchive] I’ll Never Make a Million
Recently, money has been a big issue again here in the Campbell household. I wonder if it just is for every household. I know it’s not for some. But I think it might be for many, if not most. And it is here. Sadly it seems there are times where the topic of money (money…
Birthday Season (And Sabbatical)
Birthday season is upon us here in the Campbell home. Today is the first of three birthdays in two weeks. We’ll be celebrating it up in our typical style—the birthday girl will be well-celebrated! (If you’d like to read the story of her very first birthday, please do…) So, with that information in hand, I…
Disappointment
Everywhere I turn these days it seems I am dealing with disappointment. Failure. Unachieved goals, unmet expectations. Nothing is going the way it is supposed to, or like it used to… One disappointment after another. And I’m not just talking about being let down by other people. In fact, I think the disappointments that affect…
Working
Time to write has been lessened a bit these days as work demands have increased for a variety of reasons. Definitely something to be thankful for when stories of unemployment rates frequent the pages of news sources. And I am grateful. I’m grateful that I have this job that allows me to work from home….
And Life Moves On
Yesterday was full. I had a ton of work to do, I had bills to manage (and even more I needed to figure out how to manage), I had plans to attend to, people to meet up with, and even books I was trying to read. My list of things to do was long, and…
