Welcome to the Brain Dump and thanks for stopping by. No shoes required.

Let’s call this what it is: a space for mental gymnastics, overthinking, and the occasional dignified rant. I’ve never found writing particularly easy—or enjoyable, to be honest.

Why? Because something shifted. Maybe it was retirement, grief, extensive travelling, or just finally running out of excuses. Whatever the cause, I’ve decided to embrace the mess, the meaning, and the mildly uncomfortable act of sharing thoughts online.
