Storyteller’s Log, 17 July 2025 Oh, Korbin. This is you being adorable. I know some people have a problem with summer. Too hot, too muggy, too bright, and various other complaints. I, however, love the summer. Sunshine recharges me like nothing else can. I love that I don’t need to put on layers so that the air doesn’t hurt my face. Shorts and sandals? Yes please.

Not the movie, though to some degree, given current bullshit from our so-called leaders, an alien invasion might be better for us all. (But probably not. I mean, the monument-and-city-destroying lasers would suck). That notwithstanding, as much as I love fireworks, I don’t feel especially patriotic this year. Certainly not when I

Then, I hear a crack, and then a “whoomph!” sound, and the beep of my wi-fi router switching off downstairs. I pause a moment, engrossed in what I had been doing, and see the icon at the bottom of the screen indicating the internet is out. A
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
