Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

My Second Career And Our Mascot
Animals, our pet friends, are just as entertaining sometimes as your favorite comedian or that classic sitcom you just can't seem to stop watching. They make you laugh, they give you comfort, they offer companionship, and sometimes they provide the very thing you need, help to destress. They're a great source of comfort as you pet them, rubbing their fur, taking your mind off of the day behind you. They are emotional support animals, assistant animals, comfort animals, and then there are the ones that have been rescued and are the office mascots. In the era of work-from-home opportunities, and as many work from home due to Covid-19, this is an everyday thing for many.

Inviting You To Join The Vocal Progressive Group For Writers And Readers
First of all, I want to say that I didn't have anything against any of the other groups that were already active on Facebook. They are filled with some great people and stocked full of talented writers and creators. So, if you see it on Facebook and questioned why anyone would create another when there are already so many, you're not alone. Honestly, I really questioned whether or not another group would go over with the writers and Facebook users. Then I looked at other groups and realized two things-stop asking questions that don't need answering and I might have ideas that some people like.

The Intern-Chapter 3
Light rains beat against the limbs and leaves as Courtney's heart pounded in her ears. She had not run this way since training at the academy with Agent Morris. The daily runs were a pivotal part of the training regimen he put her through, getting her ready for the field someday if she decided to join the bureau. Since those days, Courtney went for a run nearly every day, keeping herself in the shape she got into during her time studying under his tutelage. Normally, it was a cathartic experience. She could take off in any direction, let herself go for the moment, and escape from the noise and chaos that was her world.

Where Were You When It All Started?
Remembering 9-11 It's quite an extraordinary view and something that I have never, nor will I ever, have the privilege of witnessing. The Twin Towers were a part of the New York City skyline for many years before September 11th, 2001. I never gave them a second thought until that morning. At 8:45 am on a clear Tuesday morning a Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of fuel crashed into the first tower or what was known as the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The plane's impact with the building, near the 80th floor, left a gaping, burning hole in the 110-story skyscraper that killed hundreds of people in an instant and trapped hundreds more located on the higher floors.

The Intern - Chapter 2
The East Coast was inundated by heavy rains but that didn't stop people from gathering at one of the local pillars of the community and the C.E.O. of Global Dynamics Interprises' home for a party. The party was being held at his mountain home, really his base of operations, in the Roanoke Valley area of Virginia. Manfred Powell came from five generations of money and influence and maintained his grip on the Washington scene by keeping a watchful eye on all things that were of concern to his businesses, and his extracurricular enterprises. In his free time, Manfred enjoyed hosting parties for political allies and gathering what he called, "like-minded" individuals with deep pockets to support his allies on both Capitol Hill and at the White House.

Predicting The Future Can't Be That Hard! Especially If The My Pillow Guy Can Do It.
Really, I really wasn't planning on publishing anything anymore. I had planned on stopping at 199, but today I read through something that I thought was funny, even comical, considering this is America. Apparently, there's a billionaire that thinks he can predict the future of the American political arena. We all know him, the My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell. Mike Lindell has made yet another prediction that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated by 2022. Apparently, there is some secret crystal ball or perhaps a witchy brew that Mike Lindell has at his disposal. If a billionaire thinks he's got this one all to himself then he's got a lesson to learn.

Surviving Police Encounters And What To Do If You Go to Jail
On our worst day, our instincts can betray our better judgment and we, as flawed, feeling, individuals, are capable of making serious mistakes in life. Whether it's getting behind the wheel after a night out with the girls, or guys, or succumbing to our baser instincts and emotions like anger, it can happen to every single person. If you're saying, "No, not me," then you're kidding yourselves. People that have encounters with the police and end up in jail come from all walks of life--doctors, lawyers, judges, cops, ministers, college kids, and husbands or wives find their way into shiny bracelets every day. It's how you handle the encounter that will define, at least for the time being, your immediate and potentially long-term futures.
