I’m Having Writer’s Block, Maybe I’ll Just Quit
After blogging non-stop for most of nine months now, the well seems to have gone dry. There’s just a little bit of water left each morning and evening that I’m trying to withdraw ideas from Inspiration Springs. It’s become quite frustrating and I think I’m going to quit…

Thinking About Life, Feeling Like Chess
Life is like chess, I am a pawn, although I can go forward, the end is still wandering around; life is like chess, I am a rook, although I can gallop the frontier, but still can not jump this square inch; life is like chess, I am a general, although I can command a thousand troops, but still is the bird in the cage! Life is like chess, with no regrets, one move is not careful, and all the plates are lost. I believe that every chess player has had this painful experience: in the situation is a good situation, only because of a careless move, the wrong piece, the situation has turned sharply down, a thousand miles of the dike, destroyed in the anthill. From then on, we are passive and defensive everywhere.

The Road to Success is Not Crowded Persistence is Victory
In your life at a low point, do not follow blindly, do not lose your mind, if you blindly see some so-called successful people's approach and try, then the results are unpredictable.

The two species standing at the top of the pyramid - the eagle and the snail - both understand that success requires analysis.

Pivot
Pivot… The Middle Years Pivot!!! That seems to have been the battle cry of 2020. I had previously heard the terminology being used mostly by my corporate friends. It never occurred to me that I would ever be in the position to do that. Pivot. Yet here I am. 2 years after my unexpected and sudden retirement reinventing my entire life. I went from international flight attendant and purser extraordinaire, at least in my mind, to writer and publisher of children's books and media.

Hotel Expense
This road is not going to be easy, especially if you are a dreamer. You desire the best things in life, but not prepared for the issues that come your way. Each day feels like a wet glob of sand being stuck in the hour glass of life. You want it to pour down so you can get the day over with, but it is at a complete standstill. “What is the use?”, I often think to myself as the bags are packed and another trip to potential destiny, or a crumbling reality. Most folks endure life by accident, my family and I endured life on purpose. We threw away good paying jobs in hopes of traveling around the world. Little did we know that life had better plans for us. The job market for a traveler dried up due to Covid, our finances went to the money pit of hotel living, and the in-laws became our temporary refuge. Sadly, your own family will look down on you because of desirable efforts.
