I knew exactly what I wanted: a fast machine that would enable me to write, tackle college coursework, edit my photographs, and create a personal web page to showcaseContinue reading “My First Computer”
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
I’ve been really thinking about this question a lot. I even asked my “heart light” what he thinks I’m most afraid to do. He brought up something I hadn’t even considered before. I guess I’ll have to go back and write about what led me to where I am now. So, in late October ofContinue reading “What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?”

Boy oh boy, talk about opening a can of worms! Let’s dive in! The last thirteen years have been a genuinely happy time for me, something I didn’t even know was possible given my tumultuous past.

Next, I would establish trust funds for each of our grandchildren, restricting access until they turn 25. Depending on the lottery winnings, I would alsoContinue reading “What would I do if I won the Lottery?”
When You Feel Invisible
There are often moments when I feel profoundly alone, as if I am invisible and utterly unimportant. When I speak, it’s as though my words drift away unnoticed, and I long for acknowledgment, for someone to truly listen to what I have to say. Even in the presence of others, I sometimes feel an overwhelmingContinue reading “When You Feel Invisible”
Favorite Family Traditions
Growing up, my family had traditions, but once my parents became involved with a church, those familiar customs faded away. For most of my teenage years and into adulthood, everything revolved around the church, and traditional Thanksgiving dinners were transformed into buffet-style meals where the congregation contributed dishes. After leaving the church, I experienced severalContinue reading “Favorite Family Traditions”

Goals for 2025 for the YouTube Channel and Blog
Most people make New Year’s resolutions every year. I truly do not believe in them. Every time I have made them, all I have done is set myself up for failure. After a while, I realized I did not enjoy feeling like a failure because I didn’t have the ability to follow through on whatContinue reading “Goals for 2025 for the YouTube Channel and Blog”
