What Counts As A Luxury…
My car. Years ago, I would navigate with map books. With how quickly things change, they would be outdated before leaving the printery. But… I also could get maps from MAPQUEST. I used to use payphones. So… Yeah, the car. In emergencies, I can get to another location quickly. ~J. Lyst Continue reading

My Preciouses
I have an old licorice tin my grandma gave me. I didn’t like the licorice, but kept the tin. Inside, I keep some handwritten notes she had for me to be excused at school. I have a letter my granddad wrote in the 70s before his stroke. I think I have a picture of my… Continue reading

I Think I Saw This One Before…?
Gucci. Not because if the brand itself, but because I wore a pair of them as glasses from 2011 until late last year. Samsung. I’ve had several portable drives, flash drives and cellphones under this carrier. Western Digital. Have only had a problem with one haddrive I purchased with them. Creme of Nature. Never had… Continue reading

Too Many To Count
I have many people I look to for advice. There are too many to list here. I will say this though. In the Bible, I see examples of what I should avoid doing, so as to avoid the consequences. So while King David was forgiven for adultery and murder, he still lost the son that… Continue reading

Directions… Hmm.
For a long time, I haven’t been sure. There were many things I wanted to do, but the path to get there always seemed blurred. Now, I take things in steps. I wanted to be a writer. I am a published author. I wanted to have a family, too. While I never managed to achieve… Continue reading

1 Corinthians 3:19 – “the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God.” Learning and knowing things is fine, but there is a danger when trying to use that knowledge to discredit the word of God. The Bible continues to be the only book that is far ahead of its time, explaining the shape of… Continue reading

Putting Myself “Out There”
I had to think very hard on this, because my life has been pretty simple and somewhat boring with very few odd hiccups in the road. I also might have scratched my head after seeing some of the responses to this prompt and really felt like I did nothing at all. I also felt somewhat… Continue reading

Storytime??
In all honesty, for me, waking up and getting out of bed is a decision that teaches me. Every. Single. Day. Minor rant. For years, I have conceded in nearly everything that my family asked of me. Mind, this is my immediate family on dad’s side… because my immediate family on my mom’s side are… Continue reading

Truly? Well…
I learned that people can be unnecessarily cruel. I learned about mob mentality. And I learned that people in authority tend not to help you unless there are consequences on them if they don’t act. ~J. Lyst I wish all I learned was academic… Continue reading

Flight Or Flames
Oddly enough… I wanted to be an astronaut or a firefighter. I wanted to do something and be someone who was able to help others. Later on in life, that obviously never happened. Too many things. Too much stuff got in the middle of any plans I might have had. Now, I’m just a… …published… Continue reading
Hey, Miss J!
