Ghetto Royalty
Once upon a time, there was a King and a Queen. The Queen had given birth to six sons and one daughter. The princess was the oldest who loved to dance, draw pictures, and tease her brothers. She did not have her own private space in their ghetto apartment. The princess spent her nights sleeping on the couch. Every prince loved to eat, run, play computer games, and sports. The princes all shared a room that had two bunk bed sets and a twin bed in it. Monday thru Friday, the children would go to school until three o'clock. Then they would go to the Boys & Girls Club of America until six o'clock at night. The King was a plumber and spent most of his time dealing with sewage, so he smelled bad every time he got home. The Queen cleaned homes and office buildings. When they returned home, everyone could not wait to eat and take baths. Since there was only one bathroom, everyone took turns, and the King always went first. While all the children were waiting for their turn in the bathroom, they finished their homework. After eating diner, the Queen would read her children bedtime stories. Every story was always a fairy tale with a happy ending and nothing like what people experienced in real life.

Thank You Memberful
Dear Founders of Memberful, I would like to sincerely thank you for giving me an opportunity to increase my knowledge. I honestly was not aware of the fact that companies such as yours existed. I had never given a thought to having a paid subscription for anything. So I never had a reason to look into companies that offered creators like myself a tool that would allow me to earn from my followers through membership software. However, due to the Vocal challenge you are sponsoring I googled your company on the internet. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable your service is. I was also blessed to have my mind flooding with ideas as to what I could create that would enable me to fulfill my passion and earn money through a subscription.

Ideas In The Form Of Games
Despite the fact that I have been reading books ever since I was in Elementry School. I honestly disliked reading until I became a parent at the age of twenty-two. During that time my life totally changed in every aspect. It was not just the act of reading books to my children that I started to enjoy. I stumbled upon a genre of self-improvement books which I began to read one after the other never seeming to get enough. I also discovered the world of religion and could not stop reading. Theology fascinated me so much that I studied it in depth.

Light Coconut Cake
Ever since my mother and I won a cake baking contest in her unassisted living facility. This light coconut cake with pineapple filling and cream cheese frosting has been our favorite. I call it light coconut cake because I do not like chewing on coconut shreds so the coconut flavor is not strong in this recipe. If you love shredded coconut please by all means add it to the frosting and it will increase the coconut flavor. I just learned how to make it into a vegan recipe by changing the butter, sugar, and egg whites. Which I am excited to share with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

My Laptop Lifestyle
For as long as I can remember I have always loved to travel. When I was in Elementry School I lived with my brother who is two years younger than me and my mother. My father worked for Continental Airlines and was always traveling with my stepmother. He had a habit of bringing me home weird-looking money from different countries and islands. Looking at his cool scuba diving pictures and hearing stories about how he learned to hula dance in Hawaii made me dream of traveling when I got older. My Dad finally retired and bought himself a boat to live on which made me start thinking if he can fulfill his dream at the age of 74 there is no reason why I cannot at the age of 49.

Eye Sea Past The Bottle Now.
When my daughter was six and my son was four, I divorced their father and took them away. Unfortunately, I was not too bright back then because I made a terrible decision to remarry too soon. Seven days after the divorce was final, I found myself married to a narcissistic man. Being married to such a man was like traveling in a ship through stormy waters close to the Bermuda Triangle. Giving birth to our five sons only added to the tides.

Sexy Not
As I sit here thinking about my life and what was one of the most embarrassing things that I had experienced. I am reminded sadly of the few years right between graduating from High School and getting married and deciding to start a family. Most of my friends at that time were being sent off to college and living on campus in Texas. That was not the case with me, my father may have been able to afford to send me to college. However, he was the type of man who believed that ninety-eight percent of the time whatever a student majored in college they did not actual make a living doing. I cannot say that I was surprised, at that time in my life my father had never been supportive. I wish I would have received knowledge about the government grants available during that time. Especially the FAFSA grant that did not have to be repaid. Instead of going to college, I worked babysitting, cleaning houses, as a cashier, hostess in a restaurant, a receptionist for a bankruptcy attorney, file clerk, also a telemarketer. I would try different kinds of jobs looking for something that I could enjoy doing on a long-term basis.
