humanity

For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

Summertime Flavor
Scorching summer days. The sun’s unquenchable heat raining relentless sunshine upon the earth, sizzling your skin and leaving a glistening trail of sweat upon your skin. Air conditioning is a Godsend, providing a desperate reprieve from the sweltering intensity that is known as outdoors.

Happy Trails!
I wrote about the new season in my life in a previous blog and this week I have been taking my zero day (whenever I don’t hike at all) spending time with my grandparents and setting up job interviews. I think I’ve finally gotten my “trail legs” so I think the next several days should be easier. I cannot discount the fact that there have been so many beautiful scenery spots and even more VERY tough hills.

Children&AnimalsONLY
In being HONEST and TRUTHFUL with myself and with YOU….. I do often mention that I prefer working with children and animals. Often the response to that statement is that children are ok IF they are well-behaved. And the same goes for pets too. Let me ask you this….. Isn’t your ideas of BEHAVED different from the next person's? Let me help you out and give a quick resounding YES! The whole idea is for you to explore OTHER perspectives that may sweeten the pot of life for you! And the beauty of the FREEWILL of HUMANkind is that IF we really really do not resonate with someone else's version of BEHAVED……… WE are allowed to walk away!!!

The Day the Crayons Fell
I signed up for Vocal last year with all intentions of putting out content that (hopefully) people would want to read. My plan was to write on a regular basis and share life in a small town in the San Juan Mountains. Or just my opinion in general.

Should you Know My Thoughts
The every day common crush over a beautiful woman could go away in time if she is out of sight. Well at least that is the thought, but can we call it a common crush if he cannot seem to shake the very thought of her after time has passed without her in his close presence?

Being a successful author is something that so many writers desire. What separates the greats from the rest? What do genuinely successful authors have that the vast majority do not?

Andrew Marason Saw Firsthand What Bad Finances Can Do to Someone’s Life. He Decided to Create an Education Platform to Change That.
A difficult start to life can have long lasting effects on the children who have to endure it. Whether those effects are negative or positive depends on the circumstances and the lessons that families take out of it. For Andrew Marason, he saw what struggling to make ends meet did to his parents and decided that he never wanted to do that to his children.

How Generation Z Is Getting More Involved In Investing
Gen Z or also known as Generation Zoomers is the generation that follows the Millennials but before Generation Alpha. They are mostly members of Generation X, having been born between the second half of the 1990s and the first part of the 2010s (aka the latchkey generation). According to Morgan Stanley, by 2034, Gen Z will be the biggest generation in the United States, with a population of 78 million people. As the first generation to have access to portable digital technology at an early age, Gen Zers are considered digital natives.

A Summer of Orange and White
What does summer taste like? I’ve never been asked this question, but to answer it I need to go back to the summer I fell in love.

City Slicker in a Haystack.
Even at a rodeo I will still wear my Ice Cube shirt with my headphones in while listening to my favorite Hip Hop. This is what I posted on my social media two years ago back in September of 2020 when I went to my first rodeo ever, thanks to some family from the country.

My Father
Like most people I love my dad. It wasn't just the fact that he adopted me, and my bro's. Or how he took care of the family when my mom was in the hospital. But instead, the way how he taught me of this amazing love.

When life gives you lemons
When life gives you lemons… Summer, what a time. Three months of sunbathing, pool swimming, and endless parties. Warm late-night adventures, romantic sunset dates, life simply feels happier right?
