Chasm by Pear Tree
It stood the test against the clobbering paws of the rambunctious black golden retriever, the heavy snowfall, changing of seasons, other children, and me. It was lush, lavish, and free. It was the gorgeous Green D’anjou pear tree. But it was on the other side of where I would be. I yearningly watched it in my neighbor's yard from my own backyard while wishing I didn't need permission to enjoy its splendor.

WFH
WFH. I'm not swearing, I promise! This is actually the new acronym which emerged, and became a household 'thing' (I can't really say name) with the arrival of Covid 19. Social distancing and lock-down forced many to Work From Home.

The great divide
it’s been very frustrating in the last several years watching the world who wanted nothing but to be connected with each other now seek to divide. We talk about culture appropriation, racism, and privilege. A lot of people are making this white thing as if the color of your skin makes any difference in any of this. And I know some of you just read that and felt offended and thought to yourself oh this is someone speaking who is privileged. And that there is a problem you speak it not realizing you yourself are it as well. Most people don’t realize that they’re living in the same boat as those they’re pointing the finger at. Every single culture every single color of skin has been at the downside of others at one point or another. You are all victim blaming and you cannot seem to move past and create a better future with this connection we all have now that we never had before.

A Call For Justice
Let's Reduce Full Time Working Hours from 42 to 32 Hours Per Week Over the 100 year period from 1870 to 1970 the number of hours a person worked declined from 61 hours per week to 42. Why haven’t working hours continued to decline? It has been 50 years since the last reduction and the time has now come to reduce the working week by at least another 10 hours by the year 2022.

The Pandemic
This story took a turn for the best starting off, because before we get into what happened during my time in the pandemic my life was hectic and a mess going into it. I had so much to write about and it was going to come off as vengeful and full of hatred. I was that upset how I was when I kept running the scenario back in my head of my life starting to fall apart. As an over thinker I tend to process situations that don't seem to add up very slowly. The thing is I am a different over thinker, I will fix the problem in the long run and go back and fix what happened in time. Someone today taught me that it isn't worth it and I truly appreciate that woman. I appreciate the man upstairs for giving me a woman who is beyond beautiful, creative, and knows how to care for me emotionally.

Nathalie Clair... Tell Me About Yourself
I've always hated when guys who were trying to get to know me would say, "Tell me about yourself." What does that even mean? What exactly do you want to know? I don't know what information about myself would be the most meaningful to you.

Mermaid at Heart
Who am I? Such a simple question, deceptively so maybe, but still. It's not a hard question. It's not the mathematical equations and formulas that gave me such grief in school.

77% of the UK Experience This Work-Related Syndrome
You may read the phrase “imposter syndrome” and be surprised that there’s a term for something you feel without realising it’s a common thing. Have you ever felt like you’re not good enough for the career you have? Do you doubt yourself and feel like an imposter in the workplace? Do you have a nagging feeling that you’re winging it? You’re not alone.

A Shift in Perspective Does the Mind Good
Have you ever just been sucked into something you wouldn’t normally give the time of day to? You know the moment, you just happen to find your way to something and somehow it weasels its way into your brain. It could be a person, a TV show, a story or book, or in my case a drama-filled story about some YouTubers.

A Battle
The bio portion of our profiles as creators isn't much at 240 characters. That is hardly enough to get to know someone. I have been writing for eighteen years since I was seven years old! It really doesn't seem real sometimes and I look forward to using this platform to expand my reader pool!

EGO
I have been here for eternity. I watched our obsessions closely and studied them so I could use them against you as they use time against you. I watched you obsess over love, but no one can truly find you in this body. I have watched you obsess over violence as if you could feel anything more than numb. I watched you obsess over trying to drown me and like a fool you only made me stronger. Now youre obsessing over this self proclaimed mission. As if you can dictate your purpose. Nothing you do can stop me. My foot upon your neck for so long how could you sincerely believe you could end me. I have collected demons from the sand. I have infected you with the paranoia that will always hurt those you adore most. Now let us begin.
