Encompassing

There were warnings when you signed up. Let’s call them warnings because if you ignore them, that’s exactly what they’ll turn out to be. And now it’s been filtered through, changed around…the rules as well. I speak on Amazon Vine. When I signed up, you only had to review 60%. It’s jumped to 90%, and…

Favorite Thing About Myself

Is it alright that it’s changed? I feel as though we learn something about ourselves everyday. Where I was witnessing what I’d call a glimmer of my form, something else came into being – realizing I had been walking the wire for someone else. The moment I stepped down, and decided to walk my own…

😳 I’m a little over 1k views away from reaching 500k views in 28 days! You guessed right (if…you guessed) I am gunning for 1 million views! This is from organic traffic – no ads, no incentives. Just me posting what I love 🥰 I’ve decided that despite what’s going on, to not walk away,…

Shifting

Is this where I wanted to be? I believe my writing career helped heal me. However, I’ve landed somewhere I didn’t imagine I ever would. I’m in the throes of doing things I’ve always wanted to do. The set up in my younger years was to avert my path elsewhere. Funny how my path was…

Wow 😳

I used to tell someone to check everything, because you never know what you’ve missed. I was curious to see how accurate AI was, simply because it popped up. ChatGPT was used to gauge The Fray, featured here on my website on a handful of occasions. This happened in November of 2024. What I don’t…

Updates

As many of you unfortunately know, my mother is insane, basically. She has allowed an illness to flourish up to a point in which she can no longer function, and a lot is at risk. There isn’t much I can do for her, and I have to deal with a sibling who is mental handicapped….

What I Want

It has panned out simply because I allowed. It is hard…integrity is hard. It is trying…but patience is a virtue. But it’s mine. I made it so.

Today, and Hereafter

It started with me checking my emails and Amazon orders. I realized items were coming today. There was a recent mix up with Voyage Magazine, so I am awaiting news on updating information. The weather is seasonal – cool, breezy. It rained last night, so much that it flowed endlessly from the storm drains for…

Busy Busy Busy

For a moment, I thought I’d run out of photos to use for my interviews. I was taking them as to not always need to take more. This one sufficed, for the most part. I wonder – will I need more? I scroll through and answer everything for two brief features on Instagram, I’m saving…

Amazon Vine

Another blessing has landed in my lap! Amazon reached out, offering their review program known as Amazon Vine. It’s exclusive, invite only and people are selected based off of the performance of past reviews. I scanned the internet for blog posts and feedback, and came to a single conclusion – you scratch my back and…
