Neon Unicorns
I was young. Grade school young. I knew writing was fun. My father and I did my language arts homework every night, and my favorite assignments always included writing our own stories. I come from a long line of storytellers. People with imagination and creativity woven into their bones. My grandad could easily weave a tale so fascinating, I never minded when he repeated one twice (or three or four times).

Valuable Lessons
The first story I had ever written was while I was in Jr. High. I had a great idea to write a story about a young woman who went to another world when she dreamed, and the working title was 'Harganoph and the Tree of Life.' In the story, a teenager named Marie would project into another reality in her dreams. This other world was a place with magic and adventure called 'Harganoph.' One night, she finds that she doesn't wake up from her dream. In fact, she's stuck in Harganoph. She's informed by a scientist that her living body must have slipped into a coma and she needed to get back to that body before she dies. Marie and a group of her friends start their journey to the Tree of Life, which is supposed to have the magic needed to bring her back to her real world, but as she finds the fantasy more appealing than reality, she starts to doubt if she even wanted to be saved at all.

What I Found in a Bookstore
In reflecting on the differences in my life after curing decades of major depression, I look for concrete evidence of real change. In early 2020 I entered a bookstore. While checking out, I saw a flier advertising a writing group that met monthly in the shop after hours. The old me would have wanted to attend, but would certainly have made up excuses and justifications not to, underpinned by low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. It would have been just another missed opportunity tossed on the pile of regrets, but the new me took down the details and I promised myself I’d attend the next session.

Love: The Magic That Makes Life Worth Living
Love is a beautiful and powerful emotion that brings joy, warmth, and connection into our lives. It's like a magical force that can make us feel alive and complete. Whether it's the love we have for our family, friends, or partners, it has the ability to transform us and make us better versions of ourselves. Love is all about acceptance, support, and understanding. It's about being there for each other through thick and thin, celebrating the good times, and providing comfort during the tough times. Love is a language of its own, expressed through gestures, words, and actions. It's a feeling that can't be fully described, but it's something that we can all recognize and cherish. So, let's embrace love in all its forms and spread its warmth to everyone around us. ❤️😊🌟

Toastmasters Table Topics #3
I have written about the significance of public speaking in the past. Our Toastmasters club is about to hold a table topic competition soon. Publishing a collection of table topics sounds like an excellent initiative to prepare. It requires making notes of all table topics discussed during a club meeting. Posting a short speech on these topics will help me visualize delivery.

Good Dogs and People
As a 10 year old struggling to adjust to life and a new school, I started writing an ongoing series of short stories called, “The Adventures of the Friendly Mailman.” The title was named after our actual mailman who always gave me a big smile and made me feel better.
