Author Julie Clark speaks about life and whatnot.
For anyone who has followed anything about me or my family, you’ve heard the name, even if you’ve forgotten it. Belonging to the cutest little ball of fluff, “Reese” walked our home’s halls, guarded our little castle, barking and growling at small wildlife through panes of glass. Small beings that had no clue he existed. We were honored to share …
At the moment, I work fulltime at a job that involves more numbers than paragraphs. At night, after I sling my work bag wherever in the house, or simply leave it in the vehicle for tomorrow’s workday, my brain is often, well, shot. That makes creative work I crave an exhausting thought. For years, as anyone who has followed this …
It’s been a week. Among other things, this site was taken by someone unknown to me. Trying to log in today, this became painfully obvious. I had originally set time aside today to work on my site and pen some posts. Instead, time was spent giving said stranger the boot. Thanks to a superior webmaster, things are fixed and it’s …
Change. One of those things we always seem to hear about. It’s welcome. It’s needed. It’s something we want to kick to the curb or ignore. Pace. How fast we move. How fast – or slow – things move us. Chatting over coffee after yoga class, my friend and I took a break from the chaos of life to simply …
MomDad, did you see that? That… thing. Tweet, pic, snap, story… whatever it was. Did you SEE it? Did you see it through the eyes of your child 20 years from now? Yes, we live in a world where everything we do, say – even think – is shared with the world. At least it seems that way much of …
Seriously, why? Why can’t we all just get along? This has been on my mind lately. Multiple levels, multiple ‘verses I swim around. Family, work, heck, even the world! We don’t have to like each other, but it would be pretty sweet if we chose to live and get along with each other in spite of ourselves. A simple hello. …
Hi there. It’s been a while. Sounds like the beginning of a bad commercial, doesn’t it? TL;DR, I have a new computer! (Yay!) Funny thing is, I wrote posts off my iPad last year. Turns out none of them saved to the website. *inserting grumpy faced emoji* Seriously. I wrote a few. Posted a few. I thought. Has that happened …
As I mentioned in another post, one of my favorite things about being an author is meeting incredible people who make this journey worthwhile. I keep (albeit loosely) in touch with one of these amazing humans on social media. Not too long ago she posted something that truly made my heart sing – for her. She posted how she is …
Company values are something I’ve always paid attention to, no matter where I’ve worked. When I ran my small business I created them, too, and still have my own set of personal values I strive for. These three, succinct concepts fit well the workplace: Be kind. Work hard. Be brave. In fact, I love these so much, I bought the …
The other day, I walked down the hall to go talk to someone I work with. Yes, I still go to a physical workplace; I work in critical manufacturing. The menace keeping so many home and hurting right now is largely why we still have our doors open. But this short piece isn’t about that. Where was I? Right… Walking. …
