I thought the ear of corn would take a long time, but it was pretty quick.


The older (and wiser) I get, the more I realize that my role as a parent is primarily to help preserve my children’s sense of wonder, self-confidence, and love of self and world.
I was raised to worry. I know they meant well, but it’s the worst thing to teach your child. It fosters anxiety and self-doubt.

I am drawing a page every day. And it’s not always easy. I often sigh…and I feel resistance. But forcing myself to do it (and publish it!) is good for me. I’m strengthening my artist’s voice. The leopard is cross-eyed. The cowboy looks more like an ape than Clint Eastwood. It’s all Ok. Makes me laugh.

Don’t multi-task. You cannot possibly be total in what you are doing. Being total in what you are doing is the essence of presence…of true joy.


“Accountability” sounds like such hard work. It sounds like a burden with lots of risks. In actuality, it is liberating and empowering. When you hold yourself accountable for your actions (and inactions), you practice self-realization and increase self-awareness.
