I’m going to grow old gracefully..
Hi. How are you? I am great! I am 44 years old. When I reached 40, there was a sense of achievement. Like reaching a really great part in the hill. An awesome view. No, it is not from the top. But a cool spot, like the half way point. Really high but not the peak. I have stopped to look around my life and say. “The view is pretty good from here.” I celebrated 40. I had made it. Made it to 40! I have two girls, several cats and a foster dog. (I think I buy a cat to fill that space of ‘I have so much love to give AND there is so much abandonment out there.”) Sitting, watching television and eating chocolates is not so satisfying. Well, it is. I love television, really...BUT I have a desire to help the furry needy. Hmmm my legs are half-shaved and I am thinking these furry friends need some of that love. I have shifted from self-indulgence to “giving”, and “sharing”. It is an age thing.

Reassessing Life During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Like many of you, I am quarantined at home through a safer-at-home order to curtail the COVID-19 pandemic. The news and social media have showcased stages of denial, shock, scrambling, acceptance, and integration. Like me, you may have found yourself in a continual information feed, staying up-to-date with what is happening in the world and simultaneously evaluating your own priorities. What do we do with ourselves now that our routine has been disrupted? With society on pause, we have the opportunity to go within and return to what matters.

Introduction: The Beginnings of Motivated In Life
Well, hello Vocal Media community! I joined today and thought, the best way to start my story would be to provide an introduction. I'm not much of a story writer, so hope it doesn't bore you too much nor come across as me selling my services! (I would like to do that, but I have my other channels for that, this is more for me to share knowledge, insights and experiences with you all.)

End Market Exclusivity
In this slowly dying world that we live, we humans have created a social and economic system rooted in exclusivity, exclusivity derived from the opinions, biases, and agendas of individuals (or groups or markets of individuals) claiming that they are the 'all knower's' of what the people want and of what the people don't want—of what is 'good' and of what is 'bad'—insofar said individuals become the 'key holders' to these markets, the dictators of who gets to 'make it' into the respective market, and who doesn't. Themselves clandestinely worshiping ageism and pretending to be gods with regards to their industry knowledge when they are but in-fact infants in an unimaginably young Universe.

QUARANTINE REPLACEMENT
Greetings! My name is Tre Moone, and I want to welcome you to my blog, I am the founder of SIDE HUSTLE BIBLE, a rapidly growing Instagram page. Creating and growing this page has allowed me to turn $15, which I made from my first Fiverr gig to $2.3k through Instagram services, promotion, and affiliated marking. Don’t worry about a breakdown of how I was able to accomplish this, as it will be covered in detail later on.

Seven ways to support your local artists
As you're all no doubt aware, the coronavirus pandemic has had a far reaching socio-economic impact on our economy, no more so than our artists and entertainers. In these past two weeks, we've lost 150 million dollars. I'll give you a moment to take that in. As teaching artist and a sole trader myself, I myself have suffered a significant financial loss, but I still have my drama facilitator job with the education department to keep me afloat. However, a lot of artists, and most artists, aren't that fortunate. Consequently, I've created this article to raise awareness on how you, reading this, can help support us; your local artists. Most of these examples will be Australia/Brisbane based, as that's where I'm located, but I'm sure you can find examples from wherever you are in the world to go in its place.

Every Good Thing Is Counted
I've had a bit of a setback. It's very easy to sink back into old habits, especially if you're having trouble getting back to a semi-regular sleeping pattern. I found even if I had the motivation to do anything it would be too late at night to do it, particularly as I live with other people. I don't think there's an easy solution to it, other than to keep trying. I finally broke it by staying up 24 hours and then finally going to sleep at an early time, and then forcing myself to get up when my alarm went off. For a few days I was still pretty lethargic.
