Thankfulness And Appreciation
Thanksgiving is around the corner a time for reflection for us Americans eat until we are in a thanksgiving coma. It's also a time I've heard is for Family. I know one thing is for sure I am going to be mothers house for thanksgiving officially banned like God Almighty. I have come to the realisation after looking at an old message from my half sister that I'm just not a member of the family. I don't blend in well with the Blackwell family.

The Evolution of Banking: From Medieval Italy to the Digital Age
**The Banking Genesis in Medieval Italy** The 11th century witnessed the rise of Italy as the epicentre of European trade. Merchants from various corners of the continent converged to engage in the exchange of a vast array of goods. Yet, a formidable obstacle loomed large - the rampant diversity of currencies in circulation. Pisa, for instance, found itself dealing with an intricate web of seven different currencies, necessitating a continuous, laborious process of currency exchange. In this challenging landscape, the ingenious solution was found in the revolutionary concept of banking. The very term "bank" traces its origins to the Italian "banco," which connotes the benches where these bustling outdoor exchange transactions took place. Thus, the foundation of modern banking was laid, not merely as a facilitator of financial transactions but as a problem solver in the realm of currency management.

The ability to overcome
The compelling tale of life sometimes falls apart. I am a wandering spirit that is looking for the identity that belongs to me. It was taken from me. Even if things are going better for me now, I will always remember what it's like to be worn out, no matter how much sleep I get, to have a panic attack in the middle of the night, or to be overwhelmed by the expectations of both myself and other people. They claim that I am unique, a remarkable bean that God made in order to love and rescue; I respond, "Why can't I be a human first?" I tell myself that I sow seeds, but now I see that I'm deluding myself. The world's worst monsters are facing me. I search for my soul, yet all I ever find is an empty shell. There are moments when life becomes so difficult that you question whether you should continue living. You feel disoriented, perplexed, let down, and furious. Tragedies keep happening one after the other, without end. You wonder and worry about what life will hurl at you next every day of your existence. You are not alone; I am here to tell you. Hope is present. I want you to know that you are not alone in sharing my experience. Generally, everything will work out for you.

Hard work compels respect. Content Warning.
This should go without saying but it does fly over our heads sometimes. If I were to ask you about the people you respect the most, you would probably think of your parents or the wealthiest persons you know, not necessrily because of the wealth they have but rather because deep down you acknowledge all the hard work they put in to get to where they are. While on the other hand the people you respect the least would be persons who either inherited their wealth or who aren't wealthy at all. So is respect just a product of hardwork or is there more to it?

How to raise funds for your project
When you have a project, that wonderful idea in your mind you would like to see come to life, then there are a couple of things you need to do in order to raise the funds necessary to make this happen. Every project requires some form of investment be it; time, finances, intellect or even just patience. It’s easy to get disillusioned by how good our project is that we forget to follow the steps necessary to ensure that our project thrives and survives. Keep in mind that there are great ideas which have failed in the past over just simple mistakes, and not all the ideas out there which are working are the best. There are still people who use pen and paper for all of their transactions, despite the fact that we’ve had computers for decades.

Writer's Block
It all started when I got all the feedback from my beta readers. I wrote my first book this year and I'm in the process of self-publishing. They left a lot of great feedback and I was excited to start changing things for the better once they were finished.

I have been having such a rough few years adjusting to one place only to go back another. I'm used to running into the arms of my husband.

There is silence.
Why don't we say anything? Could we just "speak up"? For someone who has never been used, abused, or controlled for their body, it's a reasonable question. Those who have never experienced the deep, dark shame that results from being used as a tool and a remedy People who have never experienced the dirt that you believe you will never be able to wash away in your lifetime.

Fall, A Time To Embrace Change
Fall is a time when, it’s used for reflecting, embracing change, and revisiting the past year. It’s when the air gets crisper, the weather gets unpredictable, and the leaves change their colors to dramatic reds, yellows, golds, and greens. I am going to explore deeper into the usage of the word fall during the autumn season.

THE SKY VALLEY. Content Warning.
The view was and still is practically my solace, because the feeling that comes after being sad and stumbling on this was surreal for me at the first glance.
