I'm Chris Wheeler. I'm a husband, father, athlete, wanna be cook, insatiable reader, and lover of all things outdoors. I strive to be that person that ends the sentence, "I have this friend that makes killer..." My current muse is BBQ'd ribs and homemade pasta sauce.
When I write, I spend very little time thinking. My feelings flow onto the page and allow me to explore what I have inside. Recording these thoughts allows me to look back and remember all of life's great occurrences, but more specifically, the feelings associated with those events. Life can begin to feel so ordinary in the micro view, so I write to remind myself to stop and smell my roses, to see that life is amazing, full of love, occasional adventure, and constant fulfillment.
This is also an exercise in vulnerability for me. I've spent a good chunk of my life worrying about what others think. Recording things for all the internet to see has helped me move into the wonderful space of not really caring. I'm focused on making sure that I'm the best version of me possible, so that I can provide a wonderful life for my wife, daughter, and dog.
