Creating the Next Chapter: A Project Showcase
A testament that ideas are always in motion.
Welcome to the working hub of Balancing Tree Press. This is where ideas take root and come to life. Think of this space as a dynamic showcase—a live project board tracking the evolution of my work, from initial concepts to final release.
This page serves as a dedicated showcase of the work I pour my energy into. It is a dual space, celebrating finished Publications and providing a real-time view into the In-Progress Projects currently demanding my focus.
Updated regularly, the Project Board offers transparency into the creative process. It highlights my dedication to developing new content, ideas, and published works. Explore the timeline of creation and see the dedication behind every project.
Content is organized by type, allowing you to explore the full scope of my creative endeavors:
Fiction Works: Discover ongoing stories, finished novels, and works in progress.
Memoirs: Explore personal narratives and reflections.
Publications & Contributions: See a catalog of articles and pieces published in various media over the years.
Be sure to start with my published contemporary fiction novel, Leap of Faith, a cornerstone of my published work. Follow along to see what's being written and developed next!

Meditation Templates
There are all forms of meditation. One form that I like to practice is the meditation of learning new things. Some also call this studying. I set them apart by the process. To study you will through text and information to formulate your own interpretation on a topic. Meditative studying is when you add spirit as a source. This is the same difference between a scholar of religion and a preacher.
