A story idea inspired by my favorite movie Inside Out: Tim is an older guy, but don’t you dare call him old. He’s a father to six young, rowdy kids, and his job is to maintenance the body of a 20 year old, beginner yoga student, aspiring track athlete and a professional room-pacer who likes to hang upside down on the couch… 
          	
          	Well, Tim’s done with it, and when he meets the lazy, lounging neighbor, he makes a plan to uproot his family and move out, but that’ll be anything but easy.

It’s been another crazy week. The eggs hatched Monday. One was a little late but he finally broke out. They were the tiniest little things I’ve ever seen! I’m so thankful for the response we got from one of the rescue shelters. They walked us through everything and even though we didn’t sleep, we got to take care of them for a day and a half before they were picked up. They told us we could always come by and check on them, but that’s a bit of a drive. Maybe this weekend. 
          
          Now I want to work at a wildlife facility. Anyway, fingers crossed for a healthy, fulfilling life for them. ❤️

Sometime this week I’m hoping I’ll have one or two stories up:
          
          Till We’re Old and Grey, a 2023 ONC, suspense, dark romance about 83-year-old Anita who fell in love with Russell when she was just 14.
          
          The Stars are Made of Metal, a 2025 ONC, science fiction novel about robots enslaving humans and the lengths a young woman will go to be free. 
          
          The two books that I loved and enjoyed writing. 
          
          Just a warning, these will be pretty, ugly rough drafts that’ll be up on this account until I finish them, and then I’ll slowly transition this account into more of a platform for children’s book; they were my first love and my happy place.

It’s been a hectic few months and to keep me even more busy, I recently became a foster mom to three tiny wren eggs. They’re about the size of a jellybean and they constantly need to be monitored. Sleep has literally flown out the window but I’m hoping that I can get back to reading and writing soon, even if it’s the roughest of rough drafts. For now I’m stuck in a cycle of monitoring and adjusting which has put me in an audiobooks-only phase.
          
          Fingers crossed we can find a nearby rescue because if/when they hatch we’d have to feed them every 15 to 20 minutes. And as one woman described, “it’s a nightmare”, and I think that’s what she does for a living. 
          
          What a fun way to start summer!

@Lree25 omg this is so sweet! I felt every word sink into my chest and it made me smile. I wish I could pin these words on my message board but having it here means a lot. I’m glad you got out of that dark place and you got to see your son do amazing things. It’s a lovely picture to envision, it’s the type of aunt I want to be someday. 
            
            To many more fun, loving chapters for you and your family. ❤️
            
            Hugs all around. 
            
            Also, some may say I love animals more than I love people, lol. But as my brother said, “everyone deserves a chance.” I’m a proud big sis.

@stuck_in_the__clouds hugs my sweet friend.  I'm so thankful for everything you are doing for these animals
            
            Please take time to find peace again.  loved ones will always be with us - if not in body, then in our mind and soul.
            
            Be strong yet allow yourself to be weak and need comfort.  Phases pass and then suddenly, that path will open up for you.  I have ignored good paths and have found myself in tangled vines, unable to move or want to.  With support, I dragged myself out of that place and have been here to see my child graduate hs, then college.  He has recently moved far away from us but I'm HERE and have the blessing of being his Mom & friend.
            
            Just allow your soul to breathe and you will see the brightness you have brought.
            
            hugs & love

@Lree25 Wow! That sounds so cool! I’ve never experienced live eggs but this whole process has made me want a house full of them. We’ve rescued baby rabbits before and that was also an interesting experience. 
            
            Seeing the movement was such a miracle! I’ve been trying to rekindle my relationship with hope after everything that happened these last few months and this has been a boost. But it’s my overly-mature teenage brother who has stepped up to take care of them. He is so overly protective. He’s had to watch at least 12 hours of videos before he built built an incubator. He’s very short with words but his face said everything when he saw the movement. 
            
            One major problem now: it’s storming and it’s going to be off and on now till next Sunday so hopefully all stays peaceful.

You would think hardship and loss would bring people together but I must’ve had my head in a book too long because they’re really talking about fighting at a memorial…
          I hope it doesn’t happen because my anxiety can’t handle this. And the guy who starts the mess tries to act all nice by hugging everyone. I’m too nice, how do I politely not hug him?

About nine days ago, I met the smallest little butterfly, he landed on the palm of my hands and showed me that even behind the darkest of clouds,  the light will always show.
          
          Look within the cracks,
          Those same cracks that’ll need a little breaking,
          Bigger and bigger they’ll grow until 
          You’re standing in the middle,
          
          The middle of hope,
          The middle of happiness, 
          
          Keep kindling that light,
          Watch it turn into a mountain,
          
          A mountain of milestones and memories,
          Blossoming and blossoming it will grow…

I’m looking for things to read.
          I want to read uplifting books but I’m afraid they’ll dive into sadness before they reach the happy stuff, and these clouds are all dried out, so I might jump down the rabbit hole of Romance for the first time… humor/comedy would be nice but they’re usually hard to get into.. any recommendations?

@stuck_in_the__clouds Heroism for Dummies which is @MaggieOHighly ‘s ONC25 entry was a rollicking frolic of a far from serious fantasy romance. Definite mood uplifted. ❤️❤️☘️✊✨
