My Story Begins

Website & Navigation Tip

I have now posted over 100 story vignette writings on my website. Many of my vignette writings exceed the common “less than 1,000 word count” typically presented in this writing style. My vignette writings have been evolving over time and I am proud of this evolution. I have now recognized that there are many potential publishing projects developing in this website, both in the fiction and non-fiction genres.

To easily navigate my website, select Current Vignette Writings in the Menu Bar to be directed to the current list of my vignette writings. The writings of my memories appear in the Parts and Eras from when they occurred. The writings are in chronological order. Select the Vignette Writing Title link in the Era that captures your interests to learn more about this part of my story.

  • The Man With Magazines…

    I have decided to share this memory. This is a memory that should not be in anyone’s life experiences, especially from the time of our youth. And yet, these types of encounters are reported in the news almost every week. Unfortunately for me, this experience is now a part of my memories from my teenage…

  • Beer For Acne…

    After we moved into the trailer park my mom started to go out more after work with the two brothers’ mom and people from her work. I also began to hear her talk more about the other people she met for drinks after work as well.  One name kept coming up in her conversations. One…

  • Making Out…

    When the two brothers and I hung out at the bowling alley we would always be checking out the girls. We would make comments to each other about their looks, their hair, their body shape. And if they made the cut, we would talk about their eyes which required us to greet them up close…

  • Shotguns And Horses…

    Fall was a fun time for me. Not only was I now bowling in a league, but this was also the time when I learned about trap shooting and riding horses. Our neighbors directly next to us had a young toddler boy that I began to babysit to earn some money. The dad was a…

  • Fourteen…

    I am now fourteen years old and a maturing young teenager with hopeful dreams for this school year to be a normal year, whatever that means. I have reached the upper class of my junior high school which means that I will be advancing to high school next year. My Saturday mornings are also now…

Inspired Heart New Beginnings & The Cardiac Blogger

Introduction…

I chose a blog platform to share my story of recovery and change over a prolonged period of time since my story cannot be captured in a simple writing as it is still evolving. As my story continues to evolve, I plan to reveal my story in vignettes from past memories and from recent activities. Using this format, what I am looking to do first is to share this life changing event that could have ended my time here in this world along with my recovery and new discoveries about myself. I will then insert the setting of new life goals and interlace past memories that might help in your understanding of where I have come from, and where my rebuilding and new discoveries may take me.

So, this is the first time I am sharing my story of recovery and new beginnings after experiencing a life changing event. While I am not sure this story will be of interest to anyone, I feel that sharing my story might help to encourage others to know that how you respond to life changing events will help you with your vision of where your future can go. Please join me in my journey of recovery, change and new beginnings.

My story begins on November 3rd, 2023
