Sipistoo saahkomaapi (Owl boy)
Today is a big day, he thought to himself as he watched the sunrise. Sipistoo saahkomaapi (Owl boy) had lived his entire life up to this point in comfort and safety with his brother, Niitsistowahsin nad, and sister, Insst nad, along with his parents. Their ookóówa nid (home) was in a tall, ancient oak tree, which was cozy, warm, and had housed his family for longer than anyone could remember. He came from a long line of Barn Sipistoo (owls) and their family stories went back generations. He sat for a moment proudly remembering the great tales told of his father, Inn nad, who was a mighty hunter. He thought about the evening before when everyone gathered after the hunt to eat and listen to the old stories.

Barn Storming
Despite what folks tend to think, the dancer that rattles around in a pea whistle ain’t a pea. It is a pea-sized ball of synthetic cork. It’s my job to know these things. I’m an Eagle Scout now. Too much spit when you blow, and the cork gets stuck. If it’s jammed in the wrong spot you can hardly make any sound at all.

The Sadhana of Therapeutic Writing
Writings are almost eternal! Whether it is fiction or philosophy, information from eons has reached us through literary works. Great thinkers across the planet have reformed the world through their literature. In the ancient world, whether saint or seeker, writing their perspective was a common practice. Hence, we come across all kinds of scriptures, from atheistic viewpoints to realizing this entire creation as the Divine.

The Ingredients of Grace
There is a coffee and bakery shop downtown in Xenia OH, known as the “City of Hospitality.” I found Coffee Hub the first week after I graduated and moved out of Women's Recovery Center back in February of 2018. WRC is a drug and alcohol treatment facility for women. That place saved my life, and this place that I’m about to show you made life more bright.

Secret to Success
John, a man in his early 40s, had struggled most of his life, having no college education, and working odd jobs just to keep his head above water throughout his adult life. He had many friends, though, all of which seemed to be very successful - owning houses and multiple expensive vehicles.

Why We Are Wrong About Motivation?.
Microsoft launched an encyclopedia in 1993, with lucrative incentives for writers and contributors, they hardly managed to publish 62,000 articles under the Encarta Trademark in various languages, including German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Proteaguse and Japanese. Despite all the incentives and resources, they finally decided to close it in 2009.

Out of my Comfort Zone
It's 14 days in into 2021, but it feels as it was longer. I knew that I wanted a change this year. I know that my efforts are scattered and not focused. I know that I need more discipline and motivation. I know that I need something that will carry me through the hard work and the tough days.

Redefining success during times of stress & adversity
In 2017, I was told by doctors that I would likely never walk again in a meaningful way. Three years and thurteen operations later, I have defied the odds, not only learning to walk again but also completing two 100km bike rides and achieving my CPA (certifed practicing accountant) from my hospital bed. I credit my adaptability and resilience and my ability to redefine my version of success, as being vital in the fight to regain control of my legs (and life) which I hope will help others reposition challenges in their own lives.

Don't Give Up
I must say... the last few months have been very tough. I went through a lot of things. I was very depressed and unhappy. Yesterday I decided to put that all behind me and start fresh. Its okay if we fall sometimes we just need to get right back up. Brand new, clear mind and head, really try getting out of my head.

More than author.
Introduction We all evolve as we learn and grow over the years and for me it is something I welcome. I am at a point in my life where I am really finding myself again. I am rediscovering what makes me happy and that is writing. I am learning there is more to writing than what I grew up believing or maybe it is what I was taught to think. This article is about how I began writing when I was young. What I am learning about writing and how I am evolving into more than an author.

New Year, Old Me
