The prompt for Day 11 of the Bloganuary challenge is “What does it mean to live boldly?” To live boldly generally means to live a life without reservations.

I would say Anthony lived a life … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary # 11 (Boldly Living Bourdain-ism)
The prompt for January 9th is “What do people assume incorrectly about me? For me, it depends on when and where you met me. If you met me as a child in preschool to high school, the assumption would be that I was a loser, nerd, or just another non-player character existing in the landscape of the leading players. During this time, my idea of … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Critical Assumptions End Here)
The prompt for January 8th is “What do you like most about your writing? I wonder how many people found this prompt challenging to respond to in the briefest way possible. I love writing and have a long list of reasons I am drawn to it. That previous statement would seem even more bazaar if I told you that I am dyslexic. I was not … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Writing is a Superpower)
Day 7 prompt was What makes you laugh? This topic isn’t something that I think of very often. I can say that there are no actual defining criteria on what makes me break out in joyful laugher.

The prompt for January 6th is “Who is someone that inspires you and why? This is another difficult prompt because we encounter many inspirations throughout our lifetime.

The prompt for day four of Bloganuary is “What was your favorite toy as a child?” I honestly wanted to skip this prompt today because I felt this topic was too basic and didn’t spark joy. But, then I started to wonder, why does talking about a favorite childhood toy prompt me to shirk away? In pondering this, I realized that I had no … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (No Toys for a Child)
The prompt for day three of Bloganuary is “Write about the last time you left your comfort zone.” I have been leaving my comfort zone for most of my life.

The prompt for day two of Bloganuary is “What is a road trip you would love to take?” If money was no obstacle and time was on my side, my road trip would be an exploration of the Caribbean by way of a sea vessel preferably a yacht , but I am sure if bridges connected every Caribbean island, I would opt for that road … Continue reading Tales: Bloganuary (Road Trip Caribbean Style)
It’s 2022, and I found myself trying to take pictures like I used to, but I feel a bit unsexy and more body-conscious than usual. This isn’t a new thing for me, but that single act of trying to take a nice picture led me to look at all my old photos from 2007 until most recently. I was shocked at how I’d changed, but … Continue reading Tales & Travel: Time Traveling to the Past
