Ok... so I'm not much of a blogger. But, after over a half decade of life I'm thinkin' I might have learned a few things that someone else may benefit from. So, some ground rules...

1. These blogs are about my thoughts and experiences. They are not for someone who is looking for spelling errors, grammatical inconsistencies, or well word-smithed sentence structure. If that's what you're about, I will disappoint you. Sorry about that.

2. These blogs are written heart-to-heart. If you can read and listen with your heart, you will "get" them. If you're a literalist that likes to parse words for deeper meanings, I will disappoint you. Again, sorry about that.

3. I am and always will be fundamentally an artist. I paint outside the lines and I'm often seen as someone with little regard or respect for the status quo. If you understand art, you will understand I'm not disrespectful or rebelious. I'm for revealing truth that will change someone's life for the better. As with all art, my purpose is to get your attention, make you think, and hopefully "pull the string" on a light bulb you didn't even know was there. Once the light is on, I hope you will explore the new stuff you're seeing.

4. You won't offend me by getting peaved, and I won't get "a big head" if you like it. I think being aloof to keep someone from knowing what you think is just silly and imature. It's the self-serving stuff that keeps us fear-filled and insecure. We should be able to communicate through our hearts and not our logic. If you don't know what that means, email and I'll try to help, but you probably will get frustrated. Everyone can do this, most choose not to.

So I'll be back from time to time and do a blog post. If you read it, thanks for taking the time.
