On The Road- Journal Part 1 (#TeamTera,Sapper&Jemma)
My dear friend, My name is Tera. This year, I celebrate my 50th birthday. Recently, I've gone through many periods of depression, midlife crisis's and inventories of my life. Nothing made me feel complete. There was an emptiness and marked sadness I constantly carried around with me. These feelings were associated with realizing I have never done anything to, "Make a Difference or have Purpose." A toll on my heart that is hard to bare.

Serendipity
Serendipity - Accidental Fortunes My name is Jack Davidson. I am a thirty-two-year-old marine biologist. Right now, I am standing knee deep in washed up vegetation and debris on a beach in Northern Sumatra in Indonesia. Looking inland I see destruction and despair, the results of a massive storm that battered this coast just over three weeks ago. In my hand are two pieces of paper, one is a note with the words, “Thank You,” the other a cheque for $20 000. This is the story leading up to this moment.

The Stranger on the Train
The Stranger on the Train “Do you mind if I sit here young fella” asked the old man in the faded duster? “Help yourself,” I said. Meanwhile I’m thinking great, as if this trip couldn’t get any worse, now I’ve got this old fart sitting next to me and he’s probably gonna talk my ear off. The old man sat down and began to stare out the window, something about him just seemed out of place. I don’t know, I can’t put my finger on it. Slowly the train began to pull out of the station at Chicago and continue its long journey westward. It’s not that I mind heading out west for the summer to spend some time with my dad, I haven’t seen him forever, I just can’t believe he would spring for an airplane ticket. This train ride is gonna take like three days to make it all the way to the Spokane terminal.

ORPHIC
Alexandria, Egypt 18/02/2021 Layla’s torch illuminated the dark spiraling tunnels ahead of her, the light glistening against the layers of dust that, until this point, had been undisturbed for millennia. She examined the small black notebook in her hands with a puzzled look in a last hopeful attempt to get her bearings straight. Michaela, who had hastily copied the tunnel’s blueprint from the formal archives on the notebook's pages, seemed to have missed the turn Layla currently found herself at.

The Scar
‘The trickles of water fell at a rapid pace, as it broke the peacefulness of the crystal teal basin. This basin sat hidden behind the thickness of mossy Amazonian trees in the compact dense forest of South America. It’s home to the multitude of diverse beasts and creatures that live there. This basin sat hidden until a girl exploring this forest stumbled upon it exhausted from a long day of hiking.

Hidden Secrets
Day 36: It’s raining again. Dark. Grey. Depressing. Again. Just another reason to stay in, as if I really needed one. I doubt anyone would want to be around me right now anyway. The feeling is mutual.

Nomadland: Frances is Fern is US
Nomadland: Frances is Fern is US by Kaley Sutton 2/20/21 Watch Nomadland. It’s exactly the movie we need right now. From the second we press play, we’re captivated by Frances MacDormand and her familiar, unpretty, weathered and real face. We’re fascinated by her honest and clearheaded assessment of her situation. We’re impressed by her frank acceptance and measured decisiveness. Frances McDormand is Fern, who with Chloé Zhao has created an instant classic, a documentary-esque zeitgeist film that has already earned its place among the masterpieces of American cinematography.

Living Melting Pot: Embracing Cultural Differences
I consider myself a melting pot when it comes to my ancestry - a mix of Polish, German, Austrian, English and Slovak all wrapped up into one. Even though I am a mix of ethnicities, its amazing how much each one has influenced my life in terms of food and family tradition.
