Perspiration or Inspiration!?

As much as I love writing, there are times when I struggle with inspiration. I stare at a blank screen, willing the words to come, but nothing seems to materialize. It can be frustrating and discouraging, but recently I’ve come to the realization that it’s a natural part of the creative process. Despite these struggles,

Old Timer!

It hit me like a proverbial tonne of bricks!! I am not a young wiper snapper anymore.!

The Weird World of Collectors

Speaking with a colleague at work the other day, the subject of collections came up. Can you have a digital collection of something, be it music, video games, books, or movies? The observant among you may have noticed that I have a substantial love for all things video games. As my age now reaches the

Google Chromeo

This artist’s recommendation is a little outside my comfort zone for this blog, but that’s the best way to improve your writing, isn’t it?

The Monster on your back!

As someone who has struggled with depression, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to deal with the feelings of hopelessness and despair that often come with this illness. Depression is often seen as a monster that takes over our lives and causes us to feel helpless and powerless. But the truth is that

No holding back!

“The only limits in our life are those we impose on ourselves.” – Bob Proctor This quote, attributed to motivational speaker and author Bob Proctor, highlights the idea that we are the ones who hold ourselves back and set limitations on what we can achieve. It encourages us to challenge ourselves and strive to reach
