Daily Prompt 9/23/24
Money doesn’t matter to me. I set myself and my family up for success with my military career so now I don’t have to work. So I could technically do whatever I want if I had the money to invest and enough interest to hold my attention. But now my brain is starting to spin…

Daily Prompt 9/22/24
I would love to learn woodworking. I feel like I must’ve done this in a past life. I feel an urge to cut and sand and create with wood. But I also feel like my need to move through erratically and quickly would leave me with a space full of partially completed, lopsided projects. Maybe…

Growth
I’ve been in therapy continuously for almost 4 years straight. It will be 4 years in January. I did some therapy online and with a military therapist on base prior to starting for real in January 2021. For me, I wanted to change things once I was retired because I could. I no longer had…

Becoming Zander FOR REAL
I have been gone for a long time. I was stuck in my own head and in my own healing. I have been doing therapy every other week this entire time and really taking a hard look at my life, who is in it, and what changes I need to make to be my best…

Too Deep
I’ve been feeling really good lately. It’s taken me so much time to unravel everything that happened in my early years and how utterly awful my parents were to me as a child. It feels like it’s all finally come together and I feel better than I ever have. I think about parts of what…

Spirituality is important to me, but not in a way that everyone can relate to. I believe in a higher power, the universe, that guides us in a way that doesn’t always make sense. I believe that the Earth has a vibration to it that is part of the bigger universe and when you get…

Respect
I’ve been thinking a lot about respect lately. Like who deserves respect, who demands respect, what makes people respected or disrespected. Respect is earned. Respecting a position versus respecting a person. The more I’ve thought about respect, the more I realized that respect is something people throw around but never really consider what all they’re…

Daily Prompt 6/10/24
Best question ever… I AM retired after a 20 year military career with 9 deployments. I am available to coach the kids’ teams, take care of things around the house, move at my own pace, and not have to ask anyone for time off if I’m sick, want a vcation, or need to help my…

Surprise Trips
Tomorrow is my 3rd anniversary with my wife! I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already. It feels like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye. Some days have been long, but for the most part the time has flown by ridiculously fast. Last year we celebrated with her surprising me with a…
