We make good and bad choices in life.  When your health becomes one of the wrong choices, change is your only option.  This episode is about my weight gain over the years and the reason I finally took it seriously, going on the Keto diet.

We've all begun the journey to learning new technology.  This is my recollection of how I first started using computers and what inspired me to seek technology in my creative works.

This post is on purchases I have made or products I enjoy. The subject is on Text to Speech technology and although I did my best to utilize the tools I reference, a couple of them required purchase so I had to skip, utilizing Speechelo in their place. The sound quality is similar enough, but I still decided to go with Speechelo for my needs.

Links for each are listed below:

This is a recollection of how I started my passion for stories, reading and writing.  My apologies for the audio quality of this post.  I am breaking in a new app and microphone. (Yikes!)

Not to worry, dear friends. The delay in the last two episodes was not related to any major emergency like worldwide zombie apocalypse or roaming rioters chasing me with torches and pitchforks. That’s so common now, I can watch Zombieland with nostalgia of the good old days.

The delays were a direct result of… reasons. (Don’t you hate those?)

Regardless, this green ep is on a fave podcast I follow: Six Figure Authors. For aspiring authors, I highly recommend it and hope it is as enjoyable and valuable to you as it has been to me. Information is key and they provide a great variety that keeps me coming back.

The links to the podcast both video and audio are below as well as the links to each individual host. Be well!

My apologies for the delay in the latest podcast.  I was fleeing infected zombies, pyromaniac rioters and murder hornets while trying to discuss pleasant memories of my dad to make this podcast.  I'm now safely in my secret bunker, stocked with toilet paper and tons of canned goods so I can ride out the Martian invasion that may come at any moment.  (Now, what is the best way to open a can of soup without a can opener?)

This podcast is a recollection of my father and his active imagination, which I have inherited and have learned to appreciate in the most difficult times.  Always look beyond the world to the dreams you seek.  They are always there, waiting for you.

We all make life choices for different reasons.  Some choices lead us to new challenges and others lead to greater opportunities.  My decision to join the military resulted in a new path, new perspective and new purpose.

This podcast is a collaboration with fellow creatives who joined me in sharing words of encouragement: Rachel Payetta, Theresa Jacobs, Jim Keen and Christina Hamlett.

There are lots of subscription models for choosing online apps.  Some are useful and others are all hype.  Two that I prefer are Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft 365.
