Carpe Diem!

Note: this was originally written in June of 2024, but I’ve since updated it…


I thought it noteworthy to announce that I am once again debt-free (and not merely at “ground zero”, but with a considerable positive net worth, along with a top-tier credit score…)

That said, my life will be changing soon, I can sense it, like a subliminal undertow…

The odd thing is, I can in no way determine that it will change in any way that I’ve hoped/planned/worked toward for many years now!. (Though I did recently renew my LLC & related business accounts for one more year, just in case…but it doesn’t seem like that’s the direction things will be going).

In the past, I spent many years working to build the life I thought I wanted; but I’ve spent the last few years working more on my Self, and the internal changes seem to be outweighing the external progress, and suddenly things are shifting in some unexpected—perhaps unknowable—way.

So, even though Lifeology Blog is established and growing [update: I’ve since scaled Lifeology Blog down to just my personal author site, with the intent of moving much of my philosophy/lifestyle writing to a new website, and my liberty political philosophy to a new Substack) and the novel (PRIMEVAL) is established and growing [UPDATE 2025: now finished and published, see update below]*, and Lifeology Store is established and operable, and Compass Bookstore is coming along…still, I just don’t know. I’ve reached a point where I’m getting tired of beating my head against the wall trying to make things happen, and I’m having a hard time caring quite so much about any of it for much longer. It all seems to be becoming secondary to…something else, something bigger and more substantial.

And that something is gonna happen, I just don’t know what it is (yet). Big changes, I sense. Possibly completely different than anything I’ve imagined leading up to now. But regardless, I’m ready for whatever the Universe sends…bring it on!

Carpe diem!

Y’all might be wondering: is the mug helping? Answer: I don’t really know, but it sure can’t hurt!

“Let us therefore set out whole-heartedly, leaving aside our many distractions and exert ourselves in this single purpose, before we realize too late the swift and unstoppable flight of time and are left behind. As each day arises, welcome it as the very best day of all, and make it your own possession. We must seize what flees.”
~ Seneca


*Update Sept 22 2025: PRIMEVAL is finished and now available on Amazon (and, has already garnered its first 5-star rating)…!

At 766 pages, PRIMEVAL comprises a preface, a 4-part prologue, 3 main parts, and an epilogue…

UPDATE Sept 2026: I can now add to the list of changes OÚSIA Magazine and EVOLVE: Toward Autarchy on Substack, along with Eastwood Poolworx (pool equipment installation, diagnostics, & repairs) and Eastwood Studios (music and film production) currently in the works!

But I’m still anticipating that something newer, bigger, and more exciting is coming, just over the horizon! Until then, I’ll keep my nose to the grinding wheel, and just keep plugging along!
