“There's a simple charm… down on the farm.”

Welcome to Something Positive.com-- your soon-to-be home for that warm, fuzzy feeling. The first idea was that the site would have consisted of an original, daily dose of inspiration. On any given day it could be that next serialized installment of the goings on in Caldwaller Flats, an interview with that neighbor you never knew was so goshdarn interesting, or some other meandering observation from the not-quite-right mind of your author, David Bartholomew. Heck, if you're real good... I might even cough up my long-sough-after recipe for cobbler, babaloo shrimp,or Buster's Baked Beans. What more could you ask for?!

But… the ever-impending book BFE: The Caldwaller Chronicles, while having yielded a good number of short stories up to this point, has not yet materialized in its totality as a published work.

SomethingPositive.com in itself (that is, the expasion of this page) got pushed back for a sister project— DoingIt!-- a journal of positive living— that was published monthly for 5 years and is currently on hiatus. Free sample issues of this monthly magazine/newsletter are still available via the DoingIt! page.

And other time and effort has gone into a number of high-minded projects, such as:
One World Flag,DavidBartholomew David Michael Bartholomew,David Bartholomew,db healer,dbhealer Hyphenate Productions, hyphenate, h-y-p-h-e-n-a-t-e, David Bartholomew, David Michael Bartholomew

As one half of The Eclectic Pair— along with my wife and co-captain Joan Clark— I also include her work as key to the success of the Cheerleader For Humanity squad:

Chalk this all up to a trust that things happen as they are supposed to, and that each step along the path thus far has yielded what it was supposed to. I believe everything released by us to-date honors the original intent behind SomethingPositive.com, and I may just yet get down to sharing some of the goings-on down at Caldwaller Flats; that slice of heaven located somewhere in proximity between the friendly neighbors of Mayberry, Lake Wobegon, etc.

If you've stumbled in here and feel like you'd like to hear more on new developments of any of our pet projects, please consider subscribing to any of our newsletters: We are very mindful to send these out infreqeuently: enough to keep you abreast of developments, but not become a bother.

Thanks for your ongoing support of our work, and for all you do to bring joy to our world.
