I thought I’d take a break from novel writing to jot down nine random bits of wisdom to pass along to my amazingly intelligent readers who may very well scoff at the lack of wisdom that these nuggets actually contain. And yes, many of these have both surface and layered meaning…
- Novel writing is hard work and challenging to one’s latent attention deficit disorder.
- Always make sure the that top is on before shaking vigorously.
- Infants cry to build up strength in their lungs. Lungs are important for things like… breathing.
- Adults cry to express or release an emotion – which also builds up strength… to move forward.
- Alone does not mean lonely.
- Kenny G is NOT jazz!!*
- Pennies add up to thousands of dollars over time and committment.
- Change starts with your personal action and not an Obama t-shirt, bumper sticker, or catch phrase.
- communication + trust = healthy relationship
*If you disagree, please listen to artists such as Nina Simone, John Coltrane, Wynton Marsalis, Cassandra Wilson, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, or Jimmy Smith.

You are so totally going through a Revolution…those are some awesome insights, and only two days into the year! Wow. I hope I can keep up!
I would say learning that being alone does not mean lonely is one of the main lessons I learned last year…mainly through doing alot of # 4. Lol.
I so want # 8 to be my main goal this year…
focused personal action that changes me and in turn changes my neighbor and in turn changes america and in turn changes the world…I think some smart guy said something about a revolution?
