A Quiet Corner of a Busy World
This week, I had another poem published through an online journal, Solid Food Press. Please read Hummingbird Sabbath here! There is a temptation to think that poetry (or any other kind of writing) is a gift some people have, the words just come to them in a storm of inspiration, and then they get published. [...]
Just a quick update that the new children's poetry anthology, "I've God a Bad Case of Poetry", launched its Kickstarter yesterday. One of my poems will be featured! You can view the Kickstarter here if you are interested in supporting this work or just want a little peak inside the covers of the book. You [...]
I am anticipating a flood of comments with the success stories of people who met their spouse online, so I want to clarify up front exactly what my goal is in this article. I’m not saying that no good has come from online dating or that relationships started online are somehow bad! If a healthy [...]
In a recent post, I mentioned “third spaces.” Third spaces can be defined as areas outside the home where two people can naturally meet for the first time and form a connection.

We’ve talked about how bad the dating situation is, what men can do better while dating, and what women can do better while dating. Today, we’re talking about what the community as a whole can be doing to help singles. This includes singles helping each other! Listen to Singles: The primary thing anyone can do [...]
I am sorry this post didn’t come “next week” like I said it would. People wanted to talk, (some of them in person!) which delayed the writing process. I have already shared the bad news for singles and offered suggestions for what men can do to improve the dating experience (and have better success). This [...]
If you're following along, I am still working on two more articles in the dating series! However, I wanted to get some feedback from men as I was writing the article geared toward women. That is taking a little extra time. I'm thankful that of the men I asked, none of them have just given [...]
Last week, I shared the bad news. The stats are not good for singles who want to be married (or for our society and economy in the long term), but hopefully this understanding can move us to action that benefits ourselves and those around us. First, let’s talk about what single men can do better [...]
