Just the ramblings of a regionally-biased Canadian Dad who happens to be an avid sports fan, gamer, podcaster, and procrastinator. It's been a while since I've penned a blog regularly. Is this where the "Under Construction" GIF goes? Anywho, Lyteforce Writes For Your Information.
When I spun up Lyteforce Writes , my intention was to create an online space for me to ramble about the various thoughts that surface up in my head from time-to-time. Essentially like a blog or journal to future me, as well as means to funnel some of my "creator" energy that shows up when it wants to. And if I were to be honest, that would include my love for video games. Yet as I thought more…
“I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.” Hoban “Wash” Washburne If you ever find yourself in face of things beyond your control, understand that as a leaf who embraces the chaotic wind, you can translate that chaos into something magical. Sage advice I hope to regularly heed one day.
We often forget how inexpensive it is (often free, in fact) it is to completely make someone’s day/week/year or, even, give them a memory they will cherish for life. - Patrick Rhone Reading this Rhoneism reminded me how impactful "small kindnesses" can be. Whether it's a smile, a simple hello, recognition of something someone has said or done, or just a kind gesture to show appreciation, these…
I swear the notification bubbles on my mobile devices breed like bunnies. No matter how many times I try to get rid of them all, they reappear within minutes (or is it seconds) and there happens to be more of them than before!

As a child, I recall going on walks with my Papa along the trails of the Pacific Spirit Park . It doesn't occur to me that he was a man of many words on those walks, though it could also be the loose memories of that young child growing into a middle-aged man. Yet during one of those many walks, I recall him telling me once that if I were to ever find myself lost from him to look at the moss on…
Yesterday, Sylvia shared a few thoughts stemming from her post shared on Mastodon: I'm building a new habit here on Mastodon: instead of liking, I try to reply to at least 3 posts, especially on those that don't have comments yet and I love it. It's so much more personal! - @sylvia@social.lol And while I strongly encourage you to read the entirety of her post, she discovered that people who…
That's right. I am a walker. Or at least that's what I keep reminding myself. Photo by Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels With Atomic Habits by James Clear now fully read (which means I need to find a new book & update /now ), I decided the one habit I'd commit to as part of my habit building journey was walking. So I am a walker. Wait. I read the book and know I should make clear my intentions so that…
Again. Again, again. I've lost track of the many different times I've started blogging writing. I'm a prolific starter; not a prolific maintainer. My first start was on GeoCities before the Yahoo! aquisition. We're talking the late 90s. Then at some point I started with WordPress.com before getting the moxie to self-host WordPress.org. And here I am again. Spinning something up to let me ramble…
