No filters. No fluff. Just the truth. I'm Dori—a bonus mom, a wife, and a woman navigating the mess, beauty, and heartbreak of blended family life. “Dori’s Real Talk” is where I lay it all out: co-parenting with conflict, loving a child who wasn’t born to me, and finding strength when everything feels stacked against you.

AN IMPLOSION OF HATE, THE EMOTION OF THE ELITE
AN essay discussing the hatred that has destroyed the Nation of America. There is no mistaking that our Nation is going backwards. What we are being taught in this moment is we live in a Nation and a world ruled by Fear. Hatred is the dominant emotion, that is completely eradicating reason. Anyone with eyes can see the devastating effect it has created. And although, it would appear to be directed at and for the destruction of select groups, it is devouring it's host as well. The loathing of Haters is their undoing. Hate is fear, lack of understanding and disconnection from humanity.

150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking
Dr. AY Heath Dec 23, 2024
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.

Key-Kee Catdine
"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.

It wasn’t time. Not yet."
