November.
A little gratitude.
A little gathering.
Pull up a chair. Pour something warm.
There’s still so much good to be thankful for.

WELCOME TO MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE INTERNET
Hi, I’m Eric. It’s nice to meet you.
Seriously, I’m glad you’re here.
This is my little piece of the digital world. Part diary, part playground, part memory box, and probably part something I haven’t thought of yet.
I’m not really sure where this is going.
That’s kind of the point.
This is simply a place to create, remember, explore, laugh, think — and share a little bit of my world with you.
So look around.
Stay awhile.
Pull up a chair.
THE NOVEMBER FEATURE / 002
A Season for Gratitude
November has a way of reminding us to appreciate what matters.
A familiar voice. A warm meal.
A quiet afternoon. The people who show up.
There’s room here for history, stories, laughter, good news, and the little moments we sometimes overlook.
We don’t need a perfect world to find something worth appreciating.
Let’s see what this chapter brings.
THE SMALL THINGS, AS THEY COME
Today on the porch.
Good Things Are Growing
The world isn't perfect. Not even close. But everywhere you look, there are people planting seeds of kindness, compassion, and progress.
Read the Latest Good News →Room at the table.
Thanksgiving arrives November 26. Until then, a kind word, a shared cup, or a little time for someone else is always a good place to start.
OCTOBER AFTER DARK
Some stories are
better after sunset.
Original fiction. A little strange. Occasionally unsettling. Best read with the porch light on.
HE KNOWS WHERE I’M GOING
The first time I noticed him, I was buying coffee.
After that, he started appearing everywhere I went. The frightening part wasn’t that he was following me. It was that he always seemed to get there first.
FOLLOW THE CURIOSITY
Fresh from the canvas.
No posting quota. Just something worth sharing.
Remember the Now
“After 26 years, what do you do the next morning?”
A story about work, fear, family, starting over, and learning to stay in the moment.
Read the essay →The first cool morning.
Old pants come out of the closet. The mug warms your hands. For a few minutes, there’s nowhere else you need to be.
Stay with the thought
Some days the thing worth sharing isn’t a headline. It’s a season changing, a song you remembered, or the smell of coffee before the rest of the house wakes up. There’s room for those things here, too.
The Monsters We Invite Inside
Notes from the Other Chair
“Not everything waiting around the corner is a monster. Sometimes it's an opportunity you never expected.”

A SEAT AT THE TABLE
There’s always room for one more.
November is a season for gathering, but the most meaningful thing we can share isn't always a meal.
Sometimes it's a conversation.
A little patience.
A warm welcome.
A reminder that somebody belongs.
Family comes in many forms, and not everyone has a table waiting for them.
This month, let's make a little more room for kindness, understanding, and gratitude.
Because the world gets a little better whenever somebody feels welcome.
There's always room for one more.
ABOUT THIS LITTLE CORNER OF THE INTERNET
Still Eric. A new chapter.
A curious human being in Franklin, Tennessee. A coffee drinker, a story collector, and someone who likes seeing what happens when an idea gets a little room.
The professional site was a meaningful chapter. It deserves a place on the shelf.

There are a lot of places you could have spent a few minutes today.
You spent some of them here.
That means something to me.
I’m glad you stopped by.
Come back anytime.
