One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

Beating the booze
'Beating the booze' may be an exaggeration. All I have done is to come up with a new approach to cutting down my alcohol intake. Why? Am I a drunk, an alcoholic, a problem drinker? No, to at least two of these questions and 'not really' to the other. I will admit that I drink more than is strictly healthy so that, from time to time, I make attempts at cutting down my alcohol intake. Some are quite successful... for a while at any rate.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp !
A pig slept on warm hay, as if the world stood no chance against its slumber. Its back was turned towards me. His safety was never questioned. But who am I, and should I ever be trusted? It doesn’t matter because that pig had a safe home and would never be evicted. Eaten, but never evicted.

How a Simple Side Hustle Turned Alex Into a High Earner Before 35
At 27, Alex felt stuck. Not broke... just boxed in. Every weekday looked the same: wake up early, commute through traffic, sit under fluorescent lights, work hard, go home tired, repeat. The paycheck arrived on time, but it disappeared just as fast. Rent, bills, groceries, responsibilities. There was never enough left to feel free.

The Quiet Rise of a Man Who Refused to Quit
In a small coastal town in northern England, where the sky often stayed grey longer than it should and opportunities felt just as cloudy, lived a man named Daniel Moore. His life didn’t begin with tragedy or privilege. It began with routine.

Khamosh Mehnat
The night in the city was silent, just like it always was. Yellow streetlights spread a dull glow across empty roads, and a cool breeze moved gently through the air. Inside a small room, Ayaan sat on a worn-out chair, staring at the screen of his laptop. The words in front of him felt heavy and familiar:

The Fire That Keeps Me Going
I was standing on a bridge at sunset, not to admire the view, but to seriously consider stepping off. Twenty-eight years old. Unemployed. Heartbroken. Drowning in debt I couldn't repay. Convinced I had nothing left to offer the world.

From Rock Bottom to a New Life
I never imagined I would become someone who counted coins before buying bread. There was a time when I had a stable job, friends, dreams, and a future I felt proud of. I worked in a small company, earned enough to pay rent, help my parents, and save a little each month. I believed life was finally moving forward.

The secret life of the librarian.
I love books, I’ve been a voracious reader all my life, and if I buy a book, I can’t get rid of it. I’ll read it 2 or 3 times, and shelve it in my library in case I want to read it again. My collection has got out of control, and the room I’ve designated as my library is full, crammed full, the overflow of books has crept into the other rooms of the house, and also the garage. On shelves, packed in boxes stacked 8 high. There’s no room for the car. Like I said, out of control. So instead of buying books and reading them at home, and then storing them, I decided to join the local library. It’s just a short walk into town , a very pleasant walk, next to a park, and a coffee shop, not too many kids go there, at least during the times I’m there, and the libarian is sweet and helpful. Oh, and did I mention kind of cute. I’m not attached, so although I’m not on the prowl I’m always looking at the female scenery. I mean, why not?
