[Some years ago, author (The Serpent Box) and photographer Vincent Louis Carrella asked me to write a few lines of advice, a word or two of wisdom I might offer to my past self if I could.
Quite a few years ago I did the same thing. Wrote a letter of advice to myself and forgot all about it. Years later I was reminiscing looking through old pictures/writing and I found it. It was so strange to find because I had completely forgotten I wrote it. I recommend everyone doing something like that. I decided to add to it and then tucked it away. Again, years later I was looking through old files and it poped up again. I continue this tradidtion adding to it as I get older and find it. If anyone is interested in reading it you can find it here:
This is great, Craig. Thanks for sharing. And yes, stretching is important.
I enjoyed reading this, Craig. There’s a lot of advice here that I need to embrace. Hope this year is your best yet.

Mr. Clevenger, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is so great to have this place to come to.
Very kind of you. Cheers. Another old short from the archives will surface in the coming days.
This is beautiful.
Any advice you would change or add, given that you have lived a few more years?
Only a couple things I remembered from the original post and one other nugget... I just wove 'em in there. I think this has held up.
