As I was writing my memoir of essays, I noticed a theme start to emerge. My life has been haphazardly planned. It wasn't as if I set out to be spontaneous, it's just how I'm wired. Novelty is what keeps me going.


Where novelty recharges me, sameness has the opposite effect. Faced with a sharp stick in the eye or a repetitive task, the choice is easy for me. Give me the stick!


In this blog, I will be keeping y'all updated about the book and posting weekly blogs entries of what I'm going through in life. I hope you enjoy your time here and be sure to sign up for updates, so you don't miss a post.
