A truth about life
We have a lot of people talk about “truth” over the last few years. Most mean something that “feels core” or “is as factual as emotion can be for me”, but those aren’t what I’m talking about today.
I’m wanting to reveal something deeper than an emotion. Something stronger than the bonds of our feelings for one another (both good and ill). Something sweeter than sugar, and more bitter than death.
You see, that is what truth is. It’s foundational, it’s impersonal, it doesn’t care about your desires. It doesn’t make you feel good, and it doesn’t make you feel bad. Truth makes you think, not feel, it’s not emotional but rational. Every other “truth” falls short of the meaning of the word, fundamentally falls short.
The only amount of money that will prevent you from worrying about money is 0. Like actual 0 not $17.27, but nothing, without any coming in ever. Then you will worry about food, shelter, warmth, and where you will get those from.
You see money can buy you those things, but it buys a lot of other things too, so when you worry about money you’re not really worried about your needs, but your wants.
I’m not saying seek poverty, but quit seeking more in order to “not worry about it anymore”, because such an amount doesn’t exist.
That is the truth of the matter.
Short update
Hey everyone,
First I want to thank everyone in the recent weeks who has picked up or looked into my books. The support has been much appreciated!
I’ve not been making the progress I’ve wanted to on the next book this summer so far, although it’s not the same as no progress. I’ve been doing some minor tweaks on the site here, but more needs done, and I’ve been workshopping settings and story beats for the current series still although, without much real writing taking place.
On a more personal note, my oldest son just finished his fair 4h project last week, he did well especially for his first year, and I’m very happy with the effort he put into it. He is on the path of becoming a reliable young man, it’s my job to help guide him but to walk it is his responsibility.
Anyway, that’s all I have today. May God bless you and keep you.
Project update!
Hey everyone!
We are actually getting to a point of monthly project updates! That in and of itself is worth the announcement haha.
So if you’ve been following along, the New cover arts and rebranding have gone live! Update to pricing to keep things fair and all that, has happened. I’m going with Hytrae Chronicles instead of Hytrae Collection (what I previously called it) with the larger grouping, mostly because I feel it sounds better.
“Book 4” (The Vaults of Belin is coming along, I’ve been more focused on getting all the Sage of Hytrae things that I’ve not gotten much written over the past month. But, progress is still being made, even if it’s not as much as I’d like. Still shooting to have this one written before years end, edited and published by then is the stretch goal, but we’ll see.
A website refresh is still on my radar, with a minimum of a new banner and updated info pages, and a complete redesign potentially as a goal as well but not as high of a priority.
And that’s the update! Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to read about my busy days haha.
As always, may God Bless you and keep you.
