7 Tips That Will Help You Overcome Your Public Speaking Fear (Glossophobia)
A lot of people fear speaking to big crowds, but this can be passed with enough training. I compare public speaking with mountain climbing, I had the same feeling when I was looking down the hill or at a big number of people watching my every move and listening to what I say. The fear of speaking in public is called glossophobia.

Why Is It So Hard to Not Care What Others Think About You?
Two recent stories (here and here) from a fellow writing colleague on another (non Vocal) writing platform got me thinking about the question of why exactly it is we care so much about what other’s think about us. In the first piece she described how she could accept and even like authentic jerk versus an inauthentic just about anything writing “Because it requires courage and not giving a shit about what others think or placing so much value on others’ opinions about them.” I responded by mentioning how difficult it is to actually do this, to actually not care about what others thinks about oneself, without being (at least perceived as) a complete asshole about it. In truth, it might be impossible.

The Heartache of Dementia
One never knows if and when it will happen to them. People from from 30 years old & up! The common age is 65 and up and 1 in 14 people that age will get diagnosed with it. My mother was diagnosed at 73, but I believe she had symptoms a year or so before that, but I missed them. My father (they divorced when I was 6) was diagnosed with cancer in every organ of his body and I had moved away from home to take care of him until he passed away. When I came back home, she seemed a little different, but when she couldn't tell me what a tulip was or a daffodil.... I KNEW something was VERY wrong!

Tales of the Grey…..
I haven’t been working at Greyhound for long, but the amount of stories I could tell would be your mind. There is never just one issue or one solution even. There is always something that shakes you to the cord and bring you to the point of no return at times.

It's Time for a Change and a New Home!
I rushed through the closing process, but it is essential to point out the need for documentation and the loan company's amount of back and forth. As was explained to me, the pandemic had made it much harder to get a loan these days. Loan companies were less apt to approve a loan given such rampant unemployment rates caused by the pandemic. Documentation, or lack thereof, made it much harder to get approved. If there are any deficiencies with the paperwork, it will red flag the loan company. It was almost a daily occurrence where our loan officer would look for additional information, documentation, explanations, etc.

It's Time For a Change and a New Home!
All of the stars aligned on this housing opportunity, and the consensus was this house worked for our family. It was located within the same school system. It had the room we needed, albeit a little more space than we needed. The three-car garage, larger kitchen, and bedrooms were non-negotiable needs. This house met all of our needs, but could we land this house. We had a leg up on the competition as we were the first to view this property. Indeed, if we let this hit the market, it would become a bidding war, and we could kiss this opportunity goodbye.

Don't Forget To Do Preventative Maintenance On Your Love Lives
When was the last time you did something special for someone in your life, just because? This is a perfect time of year to spread a little goodwill, put a smile on someone's face and enjoy the rewards for doing so. What you put out into the universe comes back to you, oftentimes ten-fold. The beautiful part about spreading goodwill to those that matter to you the most is that you're likely to reap the benefits of that act by just being there. Surprises are something that as we get older we say things like we hate surprises. We'll tell people how unnecessary they are. Then there's the tried and true, you shouldn't have.

It's Time For a Change and a New Home!
Our realtor secured us a private viewing of this existing build. It was a charming house, and it checked off quite a few of our wants and needs. The location of this neighborhood was a huge selling feature. You enter the community just off a well-paved road into an area of cul-de-sacs. The community is situated as a tree-like branching subdivision with only one road in and out access. Each home has quite a bit of property with a certain amount of privacy. Some more than others, with each house having an "estate-like" feel to them. As we drove into this subdivision, it was interesting to observe we were going into a somewhat elevated area. Given the majority of this city was located on previous flat farmland, it was surprising this particular area was situated in a high hilly area.

It's Time for a Change and a New Home!
In our quest to upsize our current living situation, we had seen quite a few homes and developed a list of things we did not want. I became accustomed to having a side-facing garage. Many new builds seemed to favor front-facing garages, thereby sacrificing quite a bit of privacy, and let's face it, your neighbors don't need to see your disorganization. Enormous bathtubs in the master bathroom seemed to be commonplace. This was a feature my wife and I were not very fond of. A closed-off floor plan on the main floor was off-putting to my wife especially. Many of the houses we saw seemed to have many segmented rooms rather than an open feeling space. These small compartmentalized spaces broke up the flow of the general level of the house.
