Your work with frequencies, electricity, energy, and EVERYTHING from gardening to crafting things - always amazing, Sam! I need to check in more often at Hive. This post is month old. You're the first

No photos coming through - but Facebook is down, so many Hive is on its way. Nashville, so you can "snowbird between my upstate New York home in the summers, and my not-quite-so-cold home in a warmer

Oh how I'd love to join you and Deirdyweirdy in Mexico! Looking forward to hearing all about it!

Wow! You pack a lot into a small space. I feel the narrator's pangs at leaving behind the village, the pastry shop, and moving on to the next dangerous mission. I wonder if Glenn is a schlub and deserves

Well said, Owasco, and well-written, Aisling! The mom needs a dose of that Mel Robbins best seller, "LET THEM," a book I have not read, but it's all the rage. Let them go, Let them be, Move on...

Cliff, I have read literally hundreds of manuscripts, some published eventually, some not. So yes, I'm interested. "Naked newborns" are my specialty - your first draft is safe in my hands. First

Thanks for the links, and sorry it's taken me so long - The rapist story. A brutal read. I just read a 400-page manuscript for a friend of 15+ years and questioned some of the characters behaviors -- she

Have you published anywhere? Do you have a blog? A website? .... an excerpt from a story I began working on last fall. I made some minor edits to the beginning paragraphs and tacked on the final paragraph

Laughing at a funeral - it happens! And this is IN PUBLIC, not just a private reaction to a phone message. You really capture how natural the reaction was, yet how horrifying to be called out for it. Sadly,

Where is your fan club...? Where are the commenters, praising your prose? You REALLY DO KNOW HOW TO WRITE! You sound like a pro. You need an agent. Keep writing!!!!

Shared on X - I'd tag you, if you're on X too.

Oh my - you are a WRITER, a great storyteller - wow! Have you published? We used to have these writing groups at Hive ("Isle of Write" and the Inkwell, which is still alive and well, and others)

All great photos. My favorite, of course: Man Unaware of Being Photographed, LOL. Now I want to know all about him! His posture - his mere silhouette - conveys so much. Somebody's dad ... someone finding

An Accomplished Woman - a role model - a doer! Not just a thinker, not just a creative, but a DOER. You have inspired and amazed me since your first freewrite here at Hive. Learning a new language and

Incredible - how many issues you pack into a small post. You have a gift. The two guys buying a hundred acres, with garden, and GREENHOUSE (I want!), then their new "fancy pants" (lol !) restaurant

"He tells me that I love to argue, fight, and cause drama." Ha! His saying could be the inflammatory thing to set off an argument. Maybe he's just too laid back, and you care a lot, about so

Love it! And your wife's red beanie. Which reminded me of this: EMF protection hats work by utilizing specialized fabrics and materials that can block or deflect EMF radiation. These materials are often

I love this!!! I'm 19 days late seeing this post. Mea culpa! Boy, I could have used this - not that I ever "become more conscious" of what I say. Occasional manic up-mode still strikes, now and

Group prayer is the most powerful. Have seen enough evidence from NDEs to know this one. Oh Sam! Have you written about NDEs before...??? I must know more!!!!

Oh Sam! Forgive my delinquency in REPLYING to this. You are so thoughtful, kind, open-minded, and tolerant! Your skepticism parallels my own (the Gospels). I'm with you: "acknowledging a Higher Power
