Maiya and Me
This is Maiya. Maiya is a pain-in-the-butt. The thorn in my side. She has been with me for years – a spoiled brat, eating machine. She is now set to become a 50-mile horse for endurance. What??

New Songs
New Songs You broke me, then you woke me, then I left *** with my dog, and my pick-up truck, and my runaway-bag.

Can You Make Money on Vocal.media?
Can you make money on Vocal.media? It’s not a scam, but it isn’t easy. And it shouldn’t be easy, but it should be fair. And fairness is achieved through implementation of ideas that provide mutual benefit for all involved.

"You Bitch!"
My mom tells me, with signature vindictiveness behind her words, that I’m obsessed with “sexual abuse,” and that I should “get over it!” Following it up with the very helpful diagnosis of “You’re a bitch with mental issues.”

Let's Talk about Death
Let’s Talk about Death First off, I must say I have no background or education in legal matters, this is just my perspective as an average individual dealing with the shit show of the aftermath.

What Time is It?
What Time is It? I wanted to come up with a word for the “Neolomicro Challenge” to describe the ridiculousness of the seasonal time change, but the only thing that keeps coming to mind is Super Annoying. Like this morning, I was up at four something AM because my brain is still thinking “five.”

No Wine, No Light, No Happiness - vember
No Wine, No Light, No Happiness - vember Well, my fellow Vocalites, I’m still here. As a Vocal Plus member. Why? Because apparently Vocal likes me so much, they just won’t let me go! No, really – I went into my settings and thought I canceled the auto-renew. It seems by some twist of fate, the platform didn’t accept my cancellation as of October 30 and have renewed me for another year! That’s until October 30, 2024. I checked. It works now. When I contacted them yesterday, the bot Remy responded that they don’t do refunds. That wasn’t what I asked.

A New Hangout
A New Hangout The opening image is to a video of a love song of great importance to my husband and I. Probably kinda over-the-top for my Vocalites and writing, but it's a gorgeous song that I felt inspired to share here. Maybe you'll enjoy it, maybe I'm just a touch crazy, but that's how I roll. Wanna join me?
