If You Were A Dog Breed - What Would You Be?
In my household... We have a running joke that my bro-bro is a golden retriever. He's very food-motivated (and a little food-aggressive unless it's one of the kids), he gets easily distracted by, well, anything, he knocks things over with his tail, he's kind of dopey, he's always making everyone smile, and the most grouchy he gets is when he hasn't had enough food or sleep. He also eats things he shouldn't when no one's looking.

2024 Vocal Life
Vocal has challenged me to write an article about my goals for this coming year. And I realized when I read the entry I had not even thought about it. I am still coming up from a downward spiral and before today, it felt like setting goals was overwhelming for me.

Shut Down Mode Engaged — Please Begin Emergency Restart Procedures
Last year, I did well. For a few solid months straight I was super motivated. I wrote articles every day and struggled to decide which projects to work on. Build my audience on Vocal media or here on Medium, finish editing the final draft of my book, and continue writing the new book I’m working on, I capped out most months on my eBay listings on my store. And I still have all of that going on, but I also have a real estate license to study for, as well as all the typical ‘mom-wife-life’ stuff I have going on.

Self Interview - 10 Questions to Dig Deep On
Why am I doing this? Because it's always good to dig deep, and evaulate yourself in your life with whatever you're doing every now and then. Asking yourself questions, and REALLY digging into them within yourself is a good way to keep you on the right track, or help you get back on it.

The Greatest Baker — 2023
I am not one to ask for money, or raise money. I am terrible at the people thing. I write — for a reason. But there is one time a year that I will be participating in a fund-raising vote contest and endure the agony of self-promotion willingly. Approximately this time of year.

Answering The Call
This challenge... Identity. It has such an open prompt to write and man, that can be dangerous for some of us. Diving into the thought process of who we are can be complicated. Because really... what is your identity? Is it your name? Is it your beliefs and core lifestyle? Is it who you fight to be? We look at other human beings every day, and we introduce ourselves to each other simply by our name. And that name is who we now associate with other human beings out there.
