How things are going and the road ahead
Printing, publishing, and painting — I’m really getting into learning about the root of how they do it. How to create books from scratch including creating the paper, the ink, and bindings.

Dear Reader,
Welcome, friends. I’m doing a quick summary / status of my life as part of a documentation and decluttering project I’m starting. So, this will be short and quick.
#SOFAR:
- I’m working with Pam @ Voc Rehab on finalizing my course schedule, projected graduation date, and transfer credit appeal to accept at least 3 more courses for credit
- Holy Spirit has told me to try to narrow my books down to only 10 that I want to keep and sell the rest — it’s hard already!
- How much is it to ship on Ebay? In my part time job at UPS store its at least $5 to $15 to ship small bubble mailer packages — how can shipping used books to people be profitable? Maybe ebay has their own shipping prices?
- Rodney Harvey and his family visited SEMBC from Hawaii yesterday and he preached a great message/sermon about being in the middle and waiting on the Lord. Abraham and Sarah in genesis about Isaac (Laughter) was the scripture
- I’m planning to start digitally documenting my paper journals
- I’m really getting into bindery, printing, typesetting and learning all facets of how books are physically made but also how paint and paper can be made at home – pretty cool!
I thought this phrase that AI helped me craft was perfect for my resume or CV or similar job hunting document:
