I recently happened across a peach of a writing program—just a simple text processor that brings back the peacefulness to writing. It’s called, Omm Writer. (Currently in Beta V2 and only available for Mac users, sorry to you PC folks out there.) I knew I’d love this application when I went to the home page,…

RAOKA: Passion
February Theme: Passion (chosen by Dani, author of Positively Present ) As this month passed by in a flash, passion was on my mind. As I’ve said in a previous post, what is on our mind makes us see “it” more often in our daily lives. That’s why I love RAOKA so much, it turns…
Panglossian Effulgence
I’m not sure how or when my logophilia took hold. Two favorite words I’ve recently discovered comprise this post’s title. In case you’re like me and have no idea what these words mean, I’ll save you a trip to the dictionary: Panglossian • \pan-GLAH-see-un\ • adjective : marked by the view that all is for…

I’ve built this blog slowly, earnestly, and with my best intentions. My goals for my blog are few: 1) A vehicle to connect with others 2) A method to be of service to others (i.e., to make a difference for at least one person) To that end, I’m super happy about how these blog pages…

Guest Post by Jason Ulsrud: Hold On, How I’m Surviving
I discovered Jason and his blog, literally, about a week ago via a comment he left over at my good buddy Steven’s site (at Human Explosion). He had me at, “Hello.” Well, he has my readership, anyway. I find him to be vibrant, engaging, and genuine. I immediately felt connected to his spirit, which is…
My Writing Life: An Answered Question
As I stated not long ago, 2010 is my year of the BOOK. I will finish the BOOK and try my damndest to get the sucker published. I also mentioned that I want to bring you with me on my journey—today my message is towards that end. Please get comfortable, slip the metal tab into…
Random Acts of Kick Arse: Wacky
[logo designed by Melissa at Operation Nice] Random Acts of Kick Arse is the brain child of our lovely Sami May of Life, Laughs, and Lemmings. Simply put, each month a randomly selected member of the RAOKA seed group is selected to choose a theme for the month. And at the end of the month,…
Shedding
[Photo courtesy zaps06] I’m in the process of reinventing myself, shedding my skin, and uncovering a new Lori. A Lori that accepts the cards she’s been dealt and learns to play the hand with grace and gratitude. Actually, to be honest, gratitude remains a stretch for me, but I can certainly focus on living with…
