Laying Low Through A Storm

We've all heard it before, and especially when bad weather is approaching: Lay Low! The storm is coming! Well, metaphorically speaking, 'lay low' is what you must do when a storm enters your life. Be it financial, family, personal, or any other "storm" in your life, you have to 'lay low' and allow this [storm] to run its course .... ultimately passing you by.

Relax ...

A very small, five-letter word with such a huge action - relax! Sometimes I get so busy with day-to-day activities and responsibilities, I tend to forget how to relax. There was a time when I would turn to my writing as a form of relaxing. But, of course with writing being my livelihood now-a-days, this is definitely not my 'go-to' form of relaxing ... it becomes very stressful! I don't have to tell you how...

Block Tales: The Pregnant Man

Jerri had lived on the block since he was 18 years old, as a female. Seemingly because at the time, Jerri didn’t associate with most of the neighborhood children of the same age, nobody noticed the change … until he arrived after college looking like a muscular bodybuilder. It was ironic how the same females who pretended not to see Jerri in high school, were now looking at him like a nice, juicy steak. ... (posted by Ronyae 352 days 23 hours ago.)
