A Failed Artist, A Disillusioned Poet, An Underpaid Game Show Host
I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Become A Vocal Facebook Group Member And Bathe In The Positivity
Although this is a positive post about the positivity of being a Vocal Creator, many are attracted by the possible prizes from the Challenges.

If you’ve ever watched the Winter Olympics and found yourself staring at curling with a mix of curiosity and confusion, you’re not alone. Every four years, millions of viewers tune in, see stones sliding across the ice, hear sweepers shouting, “Hard! Hard!” and wonder what on earth is going on.
