I’m a 5th-generation Floridian, a writer, author, poet, photographer, Christ follower, and retired FBI agent. After 21 years as a “Fed”, mostly in Chicago, I did a gig as a self-employed Corporate Security Investigator. I left the frozen north and relocated to Western North Carolina in 2018, where I earned a Certificate of Merit as a Blue Ridge Naturalist and now volunteer as Associate Director for Waterfall Keepers of NC. I plan to stay in the mountains now for the “duration” but hold all my far-flung friends and family dear — and will always cheer for my Alma Mater – Go Gators!
One of these days I’ll buckle down and get on Substack, but for now I’m sharing elements of my “workaround” life here. You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram : @dsrevir. (I gave up on Twitter/X.)

you forgot “loyal friend”!
I didn’t get it right either…and still working on it! Even had to write about it to fully understand “why” I didn’t get it right. Love your site!
Not sure any of us every get it right in this life. I’d love to read what you wrote – can you share a link?
Ah yes, I am also a work in progress.
Loved your ‘potholes’ analogy!
Love your words on grace.
Added your blog to my community blogroll!
Thanks, Mike! I’m honored!
