I fall behind. I have fell behind trying to balance life with recovery. I have stumbled juggling responsibilities with dreams, often times dropping the ball on both. I have set my expectations higher than attainable, but I have no regrets. I have lived hard, worked hard, loved hard, my successes have been as epic as my failures. I push away the world some days more often than I intend to without realizing the errors in my ways. Through it all, I suck at asking for forgiveness when I truly need to be begging for it. Yet, each tomorrow follows today. Somehow words manage to get scribbled to paper, sometimes even to blog posts. Ideas continue to flow like a waterfall on overdrive, and today manages to arrive after yesterday.
I own a garage door installation and repair business. I also own a publishing company. I have authored too many poetry collections. In addition, I am a father, a grandfather, a son, a brother, and a friend. With whatever other hats I wear daily, I find myself falling behind on life yet again. Is my ambition too high? Am I racing this hourglass spectacle? I know that I have lived hard. I have burnt the candle at both ends for far too many years. But the show must go on.
That said, I am expanding Planet Productions Poetry & Press operations. We will be publishing a few more writers’ works in 2026 and bringing back a literary arts journal. There are many more announcements to come from that area of my world. I will be releasing a poetry collection in the first quarter of 2026. It will be a more personal collection than Born Hopeless with All the Answers. Details on that will be announced as they become relevant.
I will be launching an audio book publishing company with a studio in 2027. It will be a sister company to Planet Productions Poetry & Press, but operated independently from it. There will be many forthcoming details and announcements to be had from this topic soon. Of those details, one will surely be a name for this new venture of mine.
Onto some other recent updates… Hard cover versions of Born Hopeless with All the Answers and Ghost in the Reflection available now on Amazon. Born Hopeless with All the Answers has been listed on most every major book market and retailer. The domain name was finally reinstated on this website, my apologies, I overlooked a few things this past year.
I hope everyone has a great holiday today. For those who are struggling, look deep within yourself, there is always something to be thankful for. That gratitude may be all that one possesses, but that is a light strong enough to lend hope to tomorrow.
