O Is for Off Coffee

Without coffee, not only am I having fewer migraines, but they go away faster and with lower-dose triptans, a trend that has been getting better with each passing coffee-free week.

Write to Meaning

Why do I write? I write as a way to get closer to some kind of meaning, not just though content or topics but through the very act of writing itself. When I write, I feel more alive, more grounded, closer and closer to being myself. Writing as a path to meaning is not dependent on genre or publication or even readership. It requires only that we write, maybe not every day, but often enough.
