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.

  • Sandstorm…

    The rest of the school year ended up being mostly calm. There were no big challenges to overcome after the start of the school year excitement. I became closer friends with the boy who challenged the flash flood water that fateful end of summer day just after school started since we could more candidly share…

  • Help Him…

    As summer wound down, it was time for the new school year to begin. This school year will be my last year in elementary school. After we moved into our new home, I got sick and developed pneumonia. That put me out of commission for a bit of the summer. But the good news was…

    South Florida – I have many memories of my multiple times living in South Florida. Some from my younger years and some from my adult years spanning multiple decades. And these memories bring to light the many highs and the many lows that I have experienced. So, this time of year in South Florida it…

  • A New Dad…

    A little more than one year after my arm was saved, my mom said that she wanted to talk to me about something. I sat down at our little dining table where she was already sitting. She said to me that her and her boyfriend were going to get married and that he would be…

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
