Notes
Chapter 1: What Are Essential Oils?
What are essential oils? This is a question many people ask when first exploring the world of aromatherapy. Essential oils are the concentrated essences of plants, capturing their aromatic and therapeutic properties. But what exactly does that mean, and how can these oils be so assertive?
This chapter will help you understand what essential oils are, how they are created, and why they hold such a unique place in natural wellness. By the end, you’ll clearly understand their origins, quality considerations, and safe usage.
Chapter 3: Step Two: Discover and Trust Your Voice
Discovering Your Voice
Your writer's voice isn’t just about the way you write—it’s about how you share your perspective. It’s shaped by your life, your emotions, and how you see the world. Finding your voice is about being true to yourself and expressing that truth clearly in your writing. It’s what makes your stories feel authentic. It’s the core of your writing; the part that makes your stories stand out and resonate with others.
At first, your voice may not seem fully formed. You may be copying others or not sure where you stand. This is normal. Like a singer finding their tone or a painter finding their brushstroke, discovering your voice takes time. You don't need to force it but must be open to it.
Telling stories. Day 10: Lunar Guardians
I just remember running. They were coming from all directions and there was no way out for me. No matter how fast I ran, it wouldn’t make any difference. They’d catch me and I would be done. I stopped for a moment to catch my breath; I could hear them moving through the branches and the trees. I could hear them breathing, they felt so close. I was the only one who survived the attack. But it was only a matter of time before they got me too. I ran until I couldn’t run anymore, my body screaming for rest. “Why me? Why is this happening?”
Chapter 3: The Mission Begins
The base buzzed with energy as staff members were deeply immersed in preparation. Each pioneer was assigned to their respective teams, focusing intently on prepping and loading gear. The task at hand wasn't merely about preparing for flight; the military had the capabilities to handle the logistics of getting to Pioneer Station. Instead, this process was essential for fostering a sense of unity and teamwork among the pioneers. Engaging them in launch prep was a fundamental team-building strategy that Mitch Thomas strongly endorsed. It was a lesson learned from previous missions: the team needed to feel like a cohesive unit before reaching their destination.

Chapter Three - First Contact
Sarah looked at her phone screen, her brows knitting together as she read, "Nice to meet you, Sarah. I'm Richard." The text seemed innocuous, but it left her uneasy as if she were about to converse with a ghost. She took a deep breath, her fingers hovering over the keypad, then began to type her response.
"Hi, Richard," she wrote, hitting "send" with a hint of reluctance. The following pause felt longer than it should have, and for a moment, she wondered if something had gone wrong with the app. Then, a graphic appeared on the screen, indicating that a response was coming.
Chapter 3: New Roommate
Gavin was barely hanging on to sleep; his body twisted in the tangle of sheets that felt like an uneasy cocoon. The approaching morning light seeped through the blinds, casting long, pale stripes across the room. The foggy haze of dawn had just begun to lift, but Gavin's mind was already churning with uncertainty. Last night had been restless, haunted by the knowledge that Nate, a ghost, was somewhere in his living room.
The Essentials of Essential Oils
I'm Dr. AY Heath, an aromatherapist and passionate advocate for the incredible benefits essential oils can bring to our lives. Essential oils have been used for centuries to promote health and well-being, offering a natural and effective way to enhance physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. I feel like many people either don't understand how much essential oils can bring to our lives or they dismiss it as pseudo-science without realizing the wealth of benefits backed by both history and modern research. I created this guide to help demystify these powerful plant extracts, hoping to teach their benefits, applications, and how to use them effectively in your daily life.
Telling stories. Day 9: Moonlit Serenade
I don't remember why I started sitting on the bench in the park. Each day with my guitar, I sat, played, and sometimes sang a gentle song. People passing by would pause, mesmerized by the melodies, and I sensed a connection forming between the music, the park, and its visitors as if the songs awakened a shared memory within them.
Chapter 2: Meet the Alphas
Morning came quickly, and Will groaned as he slowly sat up, his muscles aching from yesterday's punishing training. As he stretched in an attempt to ease his pain, he noted the excitement building in the quarters and the trainees anticipated meeting the Alphas. The trainees gathered in the main hall to receive Mitch's latest news and instructions. When he arrived, the hall was already buzzing with chatter, and most of his colleagues were present and seated. The atmosphere was charged, and the anticipation was almost tangible as they waited for the briefing to start.
