Not nearly here i wanted. A pathetic one book a month. The best of the year was Childhoods End. The Dovekeepers Daughter get my most surprising gem of #2025

What is, hasn't yet become and what is to come feels unimaginable.

Bring the light out of the dark.

While living in South Africa I took the opportunity to visit #ChimpEden, one of #Jane Goodall's institutes. It was sad, beautiful and once in a lifetime memory. May her soul float amongst the #stars but never die.

#shutdown #HUD #government

Working in peace over here completing my Fair Housing training when the #weird happens. I #clickhere and was transported to a #dystopian future where our #govt is propagandizing their departmental home pages. #insanity

How to Create an Economic Powerhouse of a City | Mainly Stories A look at how many ways a city is failing their residents and overall diminishing the economic power capabilities of American ingenuity. With some STORY on how to move forward.

Statistics say only 1 in 20 Americans take public #transportation. I am one of those 1s. #Bus, #train and #bike. When so many #americans hate #driving why isn't the statistic 1 in 5?

The Grueling and the Grungy | Mainly Stories Do you pass by the same spill stain of sticky soda on your coffee table day after day whispering under your breath that you need to remember to wipe that down. Do you get out of the shower forgetting ...

#Exhausted and emotionally drained you just want to come home to a pint of ice cream. But the reality hits you, there is always #cleaning to do. How do you find the #motivation? I do not like to clean at all but I have to #getitdone #story

I am not sure what it says about us as a #society that we have created a #design sector based on formulating #hostile conditions for unwanted aspect of our landscape. This particular #design isn't just for birds any more it is for people.

I write to try and connect with it, never to escape from it. That's what I read for. 😊

As a girl in shinguards I dreamed of a time when I could have been a professional athlete. Girls today know that #dream can come to life.
#excited about Denver #summit FC. Looking forward to their first #season. #summer #party

I appreciate the compliment from you both. 🌻

I almost caught a photo of a Huskie peeking over his balcony trying to watch. It was so cute.

Nostalgia | Mainly Stories We all have moments where we bask in a smell and it brings us right back to a place we were. Or we feel a breeze and remember a happier time. Nostalgia bringing the past to present

I, like many others have been experiencing hard times. #Striving everyday to keep going, in the hopes that you get to where you deserve. Some days I lose myself in better times. Where are you favorite places to disappear into? #storytelling #story #booksky #creatives

Another lovely #summer #surprise waiting for the train after work! #summersong #music #concerts

What were some of your favorite #summer hits?

Heading home on a Friday knowing it would be a 15 minute at the train to discover this. That's #softlifeenergy!!!! #urbanlife #livemusic #summer

I can't tell you exactly where I was unless I had a GPS tracker and in a way it was better not needing to know.

The Dovekeepers has been one of the most enchanting #stories I have had the delight to read. #booksky The story was more than just words but a connection to a history that seems more relevant today. #survival #rebirth #moab It's so good it must be on the #bannedbook list.

Blended Family | Mainly Stories We all come from a family of contradictions wether by blood or by marriage. No matter the distance we can't escape them. My dad's wife participates in numerous yearly events and it was my turn to part...

The #summer of family events is upon us. How is everyone #coping? I just made it through the big #family reunion. What are you looking forward to?

Simply put. The #pdiddy verdict is appalling. #crime
Do the crimes do the time. #verdict

The Right to Assmbley | Mainly Stories I attended by proximity a Kings Protest. These are my accounts. I will not include images because it can be used to dox people. This is just a STORY, my story. If you have one I would love to hear.

Finally, finished up my account at a 'No Kings' protest. There were hundreds around the US this is the account of only one. Where were you on June 14th? #nokings #article4 #stories#creatives #writing #booksky
