Rumblings of Discontent
My fiction aims to create a sense of urgency and awareness -- a sense of responsibility to confront what is wrong and make it right. The imperfections in the world may be corrected through a serious effort to identify and reshape our assumptions about how society and our perceptions, and therefore our behavior, should be structured. We are entering a new stage in the evolution of human consciousness, bringing an awareness of the need for new goals and values. Together, we can contribute to that new way of thinking and behaving. Join me as I explore the possibilities. Your comments are welcome.

Spiritual Learnings: Moon phases, Tarot, Spells
Any spiritual learnings that I've personally used or am wanting to try found from my personal favorite websites, simple Google searches, or my own book and card collections. I am sharing to inspire others who are interested in being more spiritual as I am myself and for bringing new things to try into our daily lives! I have found that daily gratitude lists have always put a small smile on my face in the mornings or before bed, and everyone can always benefit from self reflection at the end of each day, week, or even lunar cycle, to learn from our mistakes in the best and easiest way we can!

The Great Sacrifice
"Once upon a time, in a world overshadowed by a great darkness, there lived a father and his beloved son. Their days were ordinary until a shadow fell upon the land, a crisis that threatened countless lives. In the midst of this turmoil, the father discovered something extraordinary: his son held the cure that the world so desperately needed, hidden in the lifeblood coursing through his veins.

And "they say" I was spoon fed
Jahnae Nelson Dec 22, 2025
Some days my dreams scare the living soul out of me, and some nights I can't wish away. To be privileged in a long traveled village with no scams and no shacks; to be a aging black woman in a beautiful castle with nothing but the world to lack.

When The Innocent Plead Guilty, There Is No Justice For All!
The Dilemma of Plea Agreements: A controversial "get out of jail free" card that will leave lasting scars on criminal records that last forever & can't always be covered up, removed or even blurred on a persons background check either. Sometimes they stay front & center for potential employers, landlords & creditors to see when they pull up a background check to help them decide if the applicant is worth the risk or not even worth a call back to tell them to look elsewhere for a break because the mistake they made in taking a plea in a case they caught years ago... It haunts them still! And that's all it is, too! A mistake! A mistake that can cripple a man or woman in their ability to make it through the mud at the bottom levels in this life & rise up out of the lower class muck to a middle class existence that a mistake will keep out of reach forever! Is that fair? Is that right? No? Well, it's not going to matter what it is as long as it's the truth about the American Justice System.

"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years. It kept popping up on my list, quietly sitting there, waiting. But this time, I finally did it. I went to the north of Spain, to the heart of the Basque Country.

Blade Runner - Script #1: A Deep Dive into Humanity, Morality, and Identity 
Dr. AY Heath Dec 24, 2024
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.

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.

Everything previously published under Tales of Jistoa is no longer canon. Those drafts, those stories, those experiments — they were stepping stones, but they are not the living world anymore.
