Embarrassment
Sacred Aspirations: Prayers for Prosperity and a Life Well-Lived
2:04 p.m. on December 2, 2023 Dearest Divine Guidance, I come before you in the name of the Eternal Light, requesting your gracious presence through the intercession of the Divine Savior. I submit my desires and aspirations to your divine will, ardently yearning for the manifestation of your kingdom on Earth. Each new day brings a renewed desire for the fulfillment of my ambitions: a thriving corporate empire, a home to call my own, vehicles traversing roads under my command, and the freedom to shape my life according to my desires.

The Epic Embarrassment
Picture this: a sunny afternoon, bustling streets, and me strutting along with confidence radiating from every pore. Little did I know that fate had a cruel surprise in store for me - the most embarrassing moment of my life was lurking just around the corner.

Back to December
What is that saying thats been going around? 2022 broke me, 2023 destroyed me, and 2024 is my comback? I think thats how it goes. 2022 was defiantly the year that broke me, and this year well yes it did destroy me badly. There have been good moments, moments I am so proud of. But for the most part this year has been experiencing pain I haven't in many years. I am proud of the fact that I was able to go on a week long trip alone, for the first time since 2018. It was a trip that I needed for so many reasons. I got to experience a full week alone, in a small town and state where no one knew me. I stayed in a cheap hotel right off the highway, and behind it was a quiet fishing pond that hardly anyone was using. I sat on the deck of that pond most of the days I was there, thinking and reflecting. Knowing I was originally supposed to be here with someone I considered to be the love of my life was a little gut wrenching. But I also felt empowered that I took the trip anyways, finally doing something for myself and not worry about what others thought.

Just a Little Fever. Content Warning.
It started innocently enough – just a little fever. The kind that makes you think a good night's sleep and a few over-the-counter pills will fix everything. Little did I know that this seemingly insignificant fever would unravel into a series of events that would reshape my perspective on life.

Lost in Time: The Adult Who Accidentally Traveled to the 17th Century and Survived a Series of Awkward Encounters
I came across an enigmatic relic that transported me to a world without cellphones and fast-food drive-through, in the everyday hallways of my twenty-first-century existence. All of a sudden, I was Joe Thompson, the unintentional time traveler, stranded in the mysterious seventeenth century.

Sarsaparilla Secrets: Dr Pepper
Well, howdy there, folks! Gather 'round as I spin y'all a tale about somethin' mighty peculiar – the legend of Dr Pepper. Now, if y'all reckon you know your sodas, this one's a doozy. Back in the days of the Wild West, when the sun blazed high and tumbleweeds rolled across the plains, there was talk of a drink that some folks claimed was nothin' more than watered-down barbecue sauce in a bottle. And that, my friends, was the peculiar notion 'bout Dr Pepper.

Annoying habits - if you don't stop doing that I'm going to scream! . Content Warning.
The rhythmic tapping echoed through the room, a relentless assault on my sanity. It was a sound so innocuous yet increasingly infuriating, like a water droplet persistently hitting the same spot. I sat at my desk, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, but the tapping invaded my concentration, demanding acknowledgment.

The More I Lose, the More I Win. Content Warning.
This is not a typical essay on weight loss. I am not a typical person. Don’t expect recipes for darling cupcakes made of cauliflower and kale. I am stubborn, smart aleky, protective, immature, sincere, intelligent, intuitive, and sometimes a pain to be around. You should learn from my mistakes. Also understand I am NOT a physician and have NO medical background whatsoever. You should always check with your doctor before you change anything in your life regarding your health, like skydiving or maybe having that weird mole checked out while you’re there.

In Search of Reflection. Top Story - November 2023.
I don't think we ever discover who we are. Identity is a never-ending book that continues to write new chapters as we experience life, and your story only ends when the pen is set down. When your story reaches a close, only you can describe everything. But there's no one word to sum up the life you lived and who you were. Others can title your story as they please and leave reviews, but you wrote every word of your story. So, on that last page, who do you think you'll be in your story? Did you become this person, or did you let this character you wanted to be, define where the story was headed?
