What AI Taught Me About Myself
On Thanksgiving, there was an ad during one of the football games about ChatGPT. On a whim, I decided to download it and see how it perceived my current writing project. It was a WILD experience seeing my characters shown back to me in a way that was like taking a personality test for them.…

My First Virtual Reality Experience
Well, here’s a fun post for you! Every time I close my eyes, I see my Virtual Reality experience today, so you now get to go through it without all the Inception-like feelings of confusion with me. Also, if you ever plan to go on this fun excursion, there will be spoilers and more details…

Quirks: Everybody’s Got Them
This weekend I am helping with my church’s school play. I’ve helped with them in the past, but this year I am more emotionally involved and therefore need an outlet. (Good thing I already have this blog 😉 ) I was thinking about the play tonight while trying to wind down and instead my brain…

“For Purple Mountains Majesty…”
Last weekend, I had the honor of going to my favorite area of Colorado for the 5th time. This was my third time going for a women’s conference, and it seems as though every time I go for a conference, I fall more in love with the area. Obviously, I love visiting, but something about…

Surprise Friendships
“Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful friend who can find?” Proverbs 20:6, ESV (emphasis and word change are mine) I haven’t talked about it in a while, so I’ll reset my life story briefly: my dad was in the Army from 8 months before I was born until well after…

“Go Hard.”

An Update
For the past month, I’ve been pet-sitting for one person or another. I went to BlimeyCon at the beginning of August and came back to take over watching a set of dogs. From there, I’ve been bouncing all over the lower Kansas City area. I didn’t bring that up for any other reason than to…

Same… But Different
I’ve been putting off writing this post for a number of reasons. The chief reason is that I really am trying to keep this blog from becoming a “grief and loss” blog. The secondary reason is that I have been feeling a big loss and trying to convince myself it’s silly to still have these…

The Memories We Leave Behind
Years ago, there was an older gentleman near my neighborhood who began going on nighttime walks with a dog that, to my eyes as I drove by at 40 miles per hour, seemed to be hobbling. One night as I drove by, I was shocked to discover the dog only had 3 legs. I’m not…

Being Apathetic Is A Pathetic Way To Be
In the rarest bout of honesty I can muster on this blog (and I do a lot of it anyway), I have to admit… lately I have felt as though I have been struggling to have emotions. Or at least, good emotions. And by “good”, I mean, “not snippy, snarky, or otherwise biting or sarcastic.”…
