A writing project is starting to take shape - The Best of Uphill Idealist

For a long time I've considered developing a collection of writings from the last 12 years (really? YES!) of into a cohesive book (also in a Kindle format for easy download). So, with some trepidation and excitement I'm beginning on the sorting and organizing stage of this project. There is much to consider,but I'll be filling you all in bit by bit as things develop. I may even use Kickstarter as a means to expedite finding resources to help with printing costs.

A Hercules inspired poem for January 2014

On Tuesday morning I was inspired by the recent cold, blowy and frigid weather to write a little poem/prayer. I hope it warms your heart and puts a smile on your face. (By the way, remember to wrap that beautiful mug up in a sweater and hat!) Keep the heat in my house - keep us warm like a  mouse. Keep the heat in my house today. May the pipes freely flow - despite the cold and snow.  May those pipes freely flow all day. ( and night) Not only for me, but all people let this be, not only for  me today. Heat, water and shelter for all humanity, for  all humanity I pray. Stay warm folks - and happy 2014!
