I have a new way of seeing what I do here. It’s like that moment when the universe nudges you, just right, and suddenly, clarity strikes! It hit me while pondering the odds of the endeavor I’m currently wrapped up in. Spoiler alert: they’re not in my favor. But hey, isn’t that the very essence of storytelling? Most folks would play it safe and wait for the tide to turn before sharing their journey, but I’m diving in headfirst, 25 years into this blogging adventure! I’ve evolved—my stories aren’t just my own anymore; they’re open-sourced. With the current astrological vibes swirling around us, it feels especially fitting to expose my struggles and triumphs in real time. Are we not all, in some way, characters in our own narrative? So, grab a seat, because I’m letting it all hang out, no holds barred. You can twist it, channel it, or even criticize it—your call! And who knows? Maybe the audacity of my journey will spark something within you. After all, life’s wild ride deserves a front-row seat! LEARN MORE.

I have a new way seeing what I do here. It came to me, thinking about the case I’m working on.  The odds are overwhelmingly against me, I know.  Bet against me; probabilities say you’ll win!

Most people would wait for a favorable outcome before exposing themselves in this way, but I’m a true storyteller. I knew I was getting into something big.  Why not tell in real time?  After 25 years of blogging, I have his option, because I’ve evolved.

I used to really be injured by this or that reader.  I couldn’t believe how mean people were! They cut me to the bone. I had to overcome this. There was no other way.

I wrote about this process in 2012:

How I Learned To Protect Myself On The Internet

In 2008, a reader observed I was essentially a Rorschach inkblot. What a revelation. People see what they see and it’s varied: Elsa As A Rorschach Inkblot.

But now it’s 2026 and I’ve truly broken free. I understand I have open sourced my personality.  It’s just out there. You can use it, abuse it, twist it, channel it…

This case is a perfect example.  A person can look what I’m doing and claim I am crazy, deluded, etc.  This point of view is saleable at this time. But another person can look at it and think, if I have this much audacity, they can at least try to get type of block in their life. The next day, they hop the fence!

Maybe it’s an idea I have or my point of view that empowers you.  Whatever it is, the template is here. I created it and I’ve offered it. You take it, You leave it. You may tip me or you make take from me as you insult me!

Some add their energy to mine, by commenting or asking a question. They enhance this project. Others try to diminish it; they leave their mark as well.

Twenty years ago, someone told me that everything you need to know to have a terrific life can be found on this blog, somewhere. I was not surprised, because I put this here, deliberately.  So this is not new, but seeing myself, my stories and my pain and my struggles as open source (raw) material is.

I’m part of the natural internet before the machines took over.  Feels good.
