Nurture — Day 3: Supplemental
In my advocacy efforts, I’ve always struggled to find a way to break through these (pre)conceptions / attitudes.

Years of advocacy, and I was still clueless as to how to work through this constant struggle.
Nurture — Day 3
So…in the end, as I get nearer to the age of 60, I re-affirm my absolute disinterest in doing what others would have me do. I create art because I must. Not doing so would be akin to not eating (for me). Art feeds me, it feeds my younger selves, it salves wounds (old and new), it heals me in a way that I can’t describe.

Nurture — Day 1
I find myself needing to balance my brutal honesty (which can be a failing of mine), with my desire to share my journey, with me need to maintain a sense of privacy.
30 Day Nurture Challenge — Intro
One of the initial Challenges is to spend the next 30 days writing and sharing short stories / memories / life snippets based on daily prompts. I believe the intent is to enable the artist (me) to build relationships with visitors to my site.
