The Forgotten Fields: Part I – Baseball
If you stand on a quiet summer field somewhere in the Midwest, you can still hear it... The faint echo of leather against leather, the soft thud of a ball in a glove, the ghostly cheer of a crowd that has long since gone home. The weeds have grown over the baselines, the scoreboard has lost its numbers, and the bleachers sag beneath decades of rain. But the sound remains. It drifts on the wind like a hymn.

Vesna Vulović: The Woman Who Cheated Death
Imagine this: you’re 22, living your dream job as a flight attendant, excited to visit Denmark for the first time. The world feels wide open, full of possibility. Then, in a split second, everything changes. Your plane explodes at 33,333 feet, and you’re plummeting to earth-no parachute, no protection, just you and the laws of physics. Sounds like the end, right? But for Vesna Vulović, it was just the beginning of a story so wild it feels like it belongs in a movie.

Jesse James
In every family, some names carry pride, sadness, controversy- men and women whose stories never stayed tucked away in the past. For me, one such name echoes with both pride and sorrow: Jesse Woodson James. To the rest of the world, he was an outlaw and a legend, immortalized in print and film, but through his wife, Zerelda “Zee” Mimms, he is family, remembered as a man, a husband, a father. His life was tangled in violence and rebellion, yet it was woven with loyalty, family, and resilience. To speak of Jesse is not to recite his legend, but to tell the story of a man who carried scars inside and out, and who walked a path too tangled for most men to survive.
