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.

  • Bahamas Vacation 2024 – Part SEVEN…

    Travel Day – The girls were excited to be heading back to Virginia. And I felt that once we returned there would be a change to the family setting. I knew this feeling because I had felt it before. And again, this feeling would reinforce a need for my new beginnings. We had a late…

  • Dean’s Show…

    We have now fully moved into our new home on wheels. This is also the time I remember getting into enjoying music. Listening to songs on the radio in the car with my mom while going with her to run errands was my breakthrough into the sixties rock and roll era. Honestly, I didn’t like…

  • Two Brothers…

    School was out and the summer had begun when my mom told me that the trailer company was going to start preparing the lot for the arrival of the two trailer sections that make our double wide trailer home. I asked if we could go watch them put the trailer sections together. My mom said,…

  • Another New Home…

    Summer was just a couple of weeks away and school was winding down quickly. While walking across the desert with the sun shining brightly in the sky, and alone with my thoughts flashing around inside my head, I began to recall my past year and all that happened. My mind just bubbled up with emotions…

  • Acne Gone Wild…

    As the school year progressed, my acne was getting worse. It was so bad that on some days I didn’t want to go to school because I was getting picked on because of my acne. It was like puberty was punishing me. My mom knew how unhappy I was feeling about my acne and I…

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.
