Drawing in the Sands by Zoe Klein
I finally finished the book Drawing in the Sands. Here is a little overview of the story. "Brilliant archaeologist, Page Brookstone, is convinced bones speak, yet none of the ancient remains she has unearthed during her twelve years of toiling at Israel's storied battle grounds of Megiddo has delivered the life-altering message she so craves. Which is why Ibrahim and Naima (in the summary, it says Aisha, but in the book, it's Naima) Barakat, a young Arab couple who implore Page to excavate the grounds beneath their house in Anatot, instantly intrigues her. The Barakats claim the ghosts of two lovers haunt their home, overwhelming everyone who enters with love and desire. Ignoring the scorn of her peers, Page investigates the site, where she is seduced by the undeniable force. Once Ibrahim presents Page with hard evidence of a cistern beneath his living room floor, she has no choice but to uncover the secret of the spirits. It is not long before Page makes a miraculous discovery - the bones of the deeply troubled Prophet Jeremiah locked in with an eternal brace with a mysterious woman named Anatiya. Buried with the entwined skeletons is a collection of Anatiya's scrolls, whose magical words challenge centuries-old interpretations of the prophet's story and create a worldwide fervor that threatens to silence the truth about the two lovers forever. Caught in a forbidden romance of her own, and under constant siege from religious zealots and ruthless critics, Page risks her life and reputation to deliver Anatiya's passionate message to the world." - From the summary in the book

Callie the Highland Cow Part Two
Hey there guys! Callie the highland cow here! I just want to say thank you for all the support that my human companion got in her last article. She cried writing it and then cried even harder when she saw the comments. Happy tears of course. Felt like I had to clarify.

Breaking up with Cancer. Top Story - July 2025.
Dear Endometrial Adenocarcinoma, I hate you. With a passion. You have taken so much from me. I was worried that you were going to take my life. If I hadn't had previous surgery from the first time we were "together", I would have been in stage three cancer. I was ready to take you with me to the very end.

My Dear Birthday Boy
Dear Little Man, You’ll be turning three soon. You have been such a wild ride for me. You have become one of my greatest influences. You are such a clown. You can brighten the room with your silliness. You’ll be a comedian some day, I can tell. Little man, you are always smiling and that alone can change the world. Everything has changed since you have entered the world.

My Dear Birthday Girl
Dear baby girl, Wow. You are turning five years old on July 1st. Where did the time go? You were a baby what feels like yesterday. You’ve grown into a beautiful little girl. You have come a long way. You went from being non-verbal to talking. You learned how to play. You have already done some amazing things. As your Auntie I am really proud of you.

Photography is my life
I have been doing Photography for a little bit over twenty years now. It all started when I was ten years old, when a friend's mother gave me a disposable camera. When I had developed the photos at CVS, I brought them back to my friend's mother. That's when she boosted my ego by stating that I had an eye for photography. Then it was game over for my parents. Every year for my birthday or Christmas, I would ask for a camera. My dad bought a camera at some point for himself to take fishing; however, he never ended up taking it, just totally forgetting it. So... I may have stolen it. It was a Nikon CoolPix L27, I believe. I was probably eleven or twelve when I started taking selfies and pictures of others. Everyone loved the way that they had looked in the photographs. However, the camera met its timely end when I took it out in a snowstorm. Something happened internally, and lines started to appear in photographs. I was devastated.

The Monster
It was morning. The birds were chirping, and the roosters were calling for a morning wake-up. It was a normal, perfect morning. The sun shone through the window, warm and bright. Kaylee sat up and stretched. Her bladder was calling for an emergency evacuation, and there was no time to waste. However, something seemed off. She sniffed the air and noticed a smell. She looked over and saw that her dog had relieved themselves on the floor. Kaylee had a stressful weekend prior. So her anger came up in her throat. She cleaned up the mess as best as she could. Once she was done, she went to the bathroom. Relief at last.

What does Cannabis/CBD do for me?. Content Warning.
There are so many people against the devil's lettuce. Just simply it's "devil's lettuce". Others have tried it, and it wasn't for them. Totally understandable. Smoking cannabis or any activity isn't for everyone. For me, however, it does so much for me. Especially during this time, during chemotherapy and its side effects.

Well, the wait is finally over. There's good news. Amazing news. So here it is: Chemotherapy has worked. There is necrotic tissue on the lymph nodes shown in the CT scan. The tumor shrank significantly, as well. What are the next steps? Where do we go from here on this roller coaster ride? Well, I'll tell you.

The Waiting Game
I have been diagnosised with stage one reoccurring cancer back in December of 2024, and did six months of Chemotherapy to treat it. It was a rough and trying path. I honestly thought I wasn’t going to make it. I know that seems a bit dramatic, but if one has read my other articles, you’d know. I’ve had blackouts, getting sick, in and out of the hospital. It was a scary time in my life where I didn’t know if I had the strength to go on. Last Wednesday I had gone and had a CT scan done to see where chemotherapy has left us. Is there cancer? Is the cancer gone?

HR, who needs them?
You guys know by now that I have stage one cancer. I was trying to work while going through treatment, however half way through I was forced into a Leave of Absence because I was getting sick way too much. However, what should have been an easy process has become my living NIGHTMARE. I went on my leave of absence on March 17th. I had my doctor fill out the paperwork and they FAXED IT. About two weeks later, I received a letter. It has been a battle since.
