#peronal blog

Hi everyone! 

During these strange times I created a personal blog. I will share stories about my life and experiences as I go along. 

Update 7/9/2023: I am migrating to this Tumblr blog from the Vivaldi browser blog platform.

Update 3/11/2021: I’m including photographs to my blog posts now, as they contribute to my thought process.

There are several blogs I host on the internet that require action or response from the reader. So with this blog, my intent is to share my personal thoughts that are not meant to be monetized.

Those other platforms didn’t feel like the right place to do this, but once I learned from DuckDuckGo about the business model of Vivaldi browser, and how they use the WordPress blog software, this feels like what I have been looking for.

I plan to make a blog entry at least once a week, and hopefully more, that is NOT about my interests with photography, the Catholic Faith, manhood, or art, but rather everything else I might be thinking about and just need to write it down.

Thinking is a rare commodity in our world today, especially with the distractions of our information age. It is important now to be mindful how we are intentional about blocking out time with our own thoughts.

For example, it is said how the late Abraham Lincoln, when he was President of the United States, would spend much time in pure solitude with the decisions that he had to make after he got feedback from his advisors.

So I hope that you enjoy this blog, and come back to it often if it speaks to you. I don’t expect you to comment, because this blog is more about my thought process and I hope you can benefit from it.

This was taken from the VA hospital I was at today while visiting Veterans I use to work with as a Social Work student. 

Valentines day can be spent in many ways. It can be volunteering and spreading love to strangers, with loved ones, and even indulging in you. Who says Valentines Day has to be about candles, dinner, and dates? Isn’t Love so much more than that?

Way To Spend Valentines Day: 

1. The stereotypical traditional way

2. With Friends 

3. With Loved ones 

4. Volunteering- Showing those you don’t know love who need it
