Reading

Do people ever wonder why people like to read. Here's why. AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY! We have a lot to deal with in the real world 🌎. We have to deal rent, bills, grocery proces, gas prices, and all expenses that are towards kids. Another reality we are having to deal with are the bad news of school shootings, kids getting run over waiting for school busses, child rape, and murders. Another reality we have to deal with is the celebrity news of divorces, singers singing in genres they shouldn't, and weird outfits. Reading gets us out of that! Go into the land of books and out of reality!

Yesterday

I found myself anxious with sweaty hands. Trying to focus my eyes upon it but could only glance. I am weak and can’t seem to find the strength to stand. Here in this moment I vow to live everyday as if it were my last. Living a dignified life with much class. I have vowed to slow down so I don’t move to fast. Today is a new me for the old me left yesterday.

"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."

"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

My First Blog: The Struggle to Sign In to Notd.io

"From frustration to triumph—my first-time blogger journey on Notd.io wasn't as smooth as I'd hoped. Between vanishing thumbnails, password nightmares, and URL battles, I nearly gave up. But the lessons I learned? Priceless. Click to discover how persistence (and a few tech hacks) turned my blogging disaster into a success story.

Vara’s Vault p.1

In the windswept village of Thornwick, Vara reigns as a shadow of stillness, her world carved from stone and silver. Beneath a churning sky, she guards her vault—a squat, moss-crusted relic—where three coins gleam, promises preserved against chaos. Her dark eyes, cold and unyielding, weigh every risk, her hands unscarred by toil. Across the square, Lira dances a different tune—her coins spin like wildfire through seeds and bread, a river of motion flooding the market with fleeting bounty. Where Vara hoards permanence, Lira chases multiplication, their methods clashing like rock and flame, shaping Thornwick’s divided soul.

Thornwick Story/ tales of playing the game of money

“The Parable of the Seed Trader”: Unlock the secret of money in a tale that will transform how you see wealth forever. The Parable of the Seed Trader follows Lira, a curious villager with just three coins, as a mysterious trader reveals money’s hidden power. Is it mere metal—or a promise that builds empires? A tool to leverage more than you own? A phenomenon that multiplies beyond imagination? In this captivating story, Lira turns copper into a thriving trade, not by hoarding, but by mastering money’s dance. With every seed she plants, lends, and cycles, her wealth grows—showing you how to do the same. Want to know why money isn’t what you think—and how it can work miracles in your hands? Read this short, enchanting parable and discover the truth that’s eluded millions. Your three coins could be the start of something extraordinary.

What is Oblivion?

Blade Runner - Script #1: A Deep Dive into Humanity, Morality, and Identity

Released in 1982, Blade Runner has solidified itself as one of the most influential films in the sci-fi genre. Inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film challenges the audience with timeless questions about what it means to be human. It delves into the complexities of identity and explores the consequences of artificial life in a profoundly relevant way today.

Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Social Networks Are Not Good for Publishers

Most publishers strive to maintain a presence on social media, with the expectation that it will increase traffic to their websites, and therefore increase revenue. In addition to paying for social media managers, they also often encourage their writers to post regularly on their own personal accounts (meaning reporters are spending time marketing instead of reporting). There is little evidence this actually increases revenue beyond the cost of supporting that presence (if that).

Turning 40 feels like my body is breaking down piece by piece, making me question everything—my health, my habits, and my future. With a family history of breast cancer and type 2 diabetes, recent changes in my body have me in full panic mode. Getting a doctor’s appointment is nearly impossible, and the waiting only fuels my fear. But despite it all, I still have so much to live for—my kids, my dreams, and the bucket list road trip I hope to take one day. This is my raw, unfiltered reflection on aging, uncertainty, and the determination to keep going.

This is my journey through empty nest syndrome—the unexpected grief, the struggle to find myself again, and the reality of life after raising kids.
