I Fired My Personal Trainer for an AI: Here's What Happened!
It was one of those pivotal moments in life where curiosity collided with uncertainty. There I was, staring at my phone, ready to make a decision that could alter my fitness routine forever. "Could an AI really replace my personal trainer?" I wondered, half-excited, half-nervous. The idea seemed far-fetched. I mean, how could a machine – a mere collection of algorithms – possibly replicate the expertise and human touch of a personal trainer? This wasn’t just about workouts; it was about motivation, accountability, and, quite honestly, the relationship I had built with someone who understood my fitness journey. But, the allure of cutting-edge technology was hard to ignore. So, with a mixture of intrigue and skepticism, I decided to take the plunge. I fired my personal trainer for an AI.

A-Lot-A-Bit Lost
Chandra flew through the door as if she were just coming in from playing outside, like it was a normal day, like she hadn't been missing for nearly 24 hours. Her mother was on hold with the police when she heard the storm that was her daughter, enter and loudly plunk herself down at the dining room table. Her mother let out a breath that she had been holding for way too long now and sighed. She didn't want to spook Chandra, she didn't know what kind of state she was in, so she just sat down silently across from her with a smile on her face. There was an even bigger smile in her heart, one that came with sparkles and hugs and a, oh my goodness, I'm so glad you're home!

Reprogramming Humans
Step One Fault Identification & Assessment. This requires a high level of awareness. A human must first be aware of the fault which requires reprogramming and the extent of that fault. Is is a software or hardware issue? Or (likely) both? Both heavily influence each other and any issue is likely to be generated from an interplay of each.

Connection
BASED ON A TRUE STORY BUT THE NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED It was sometime in the early 1990's. I had hit a rough patch that lasted months and was moving from town to town, homeless and hungry. One warm, sunny day I sat cross-legged in the grass outside a suburban mall, begging for food, spare change .... anything I could hustle. My beard was shaggy and touched with gray, and soot and dirt from the road discolored my frayed jeans. I positioned myself near the entrance so that the passing motorists would see my cardboard sign asking for hand-outs.

Hope in the Darkness. Top Story - September 2024.
I trudged through the supermarket aisles, my three children holding together. Jake, my eldest at 10, was trying his best to keep his younger siblings, Emma (7) and Liam (4), from creating chaos. I should have been grateful for his help, but all I felt was a deep, gnawing emptiness. I wanted to feel love for my kids, but instead there was void, which was sucking me into it, slowly, feeling a pressure and a loss of breath at the same time.

Not Dead, Homeless, or in Jail is not a "Miracle". Content Warning.
Before you come at me saying my views are some dumb, idealistic, liberal, white lady bullshit, please at least allow me an extremely brief summation of my life experience with the topic.

"Pard's"
I passed away in 2008 at the age of 50. I was laid to rest next to my father at the Lopez Island Church Cemetery. Just being next to my dad allows me to rest in peace. For the most part anyway. I say for the most part because several times my closest friends have made the trip to Lopez and stopped to visit me only to pass right by my resting place, time and time again. No matter how I try I can not get their attention.

A Minor Inconvenience. Top Story - September 2024.
Destinations and the reasons for them differ immeasurably. But plans of how people arrive to them are mostly made because of financial means. But not always. Sometimes it can be for convenience, time restraint, or even aerophobia/ fear of flying. For whatever the reason, Janie found herself travelling on the same Greyhound bus ride that night as the two elderly women she watched from the seat she had taken behind theirs. They looked to both be grandmothers.

When the sun goes away . Content Warning.
You sit there in your room, the bathroom is calling for you to take a shower but the curtain is not drawn and the light isn’t seeping in through the corner. You left the milk on the table and what you wanted to eat is expired, the alcohol at the store is too far for you to bother.
