I don't have real life friends so I need lots of internet friends. But first I have to look cool on the web. I wish I was more interesting.

I sometimes find myself in my own work trying to sound so much like an expert and that all things are going so great, that I forget sometimes, they're not. It's that time when we come to reality for a moment and say, I'm hurting, or I'm not sure what the future holds that is true. I don't have all of the answers, and because of that I hope my readers will see the truth in my walk. I call it a walk not to sound spiritual so much, but to let my readers know, it's about walking into the next phase of our lives because sometimes there might be pot holes around the next turn we can't see. I'm rededicating my work to being real, the good, bad, and the ugly. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Love your stuff, David Penelope,

I think it's a really useful and empowering way to think about transitions as a way to connect with people. I personally just returned to the US after working in China for a year and a half, and I have a degree in Latin American Studies. At this point I am blending these colors together on my own palette, envisioning all sorts of possible patterns. Penelope,

Rugby definitely isn't football, although the skill set required is similar. Now, if you combined good looks, a genuine interest in others, and some personal controversy along with that quirky past-time, then you'd go beyond the domestic, garden variety interesting scale, you'd be story book material! Just my two cents worth:) Matt,
