FEATURED STORY

Believe It or Not – My Birth Story

Shortly after World War II ended, men and women who had been in the military overseas came home after years apart. We had achieved a victory, and spirits ran high. Consequently, men and women became very friendly with one another, so much so that many babies resulted from the closeness of these friendships.
It just so happened that I was prepared at the baby factory for travel to a predetermined womb of a specific woman. She had developed said friendship with a wealthy man named Rockefeller. Unfortunately, for many babies, the massive amount of wombs to be filled and the shortage of storks to carry them caused a lot of mishaps. In my case, I became a misdelivery. I ended up in the wrong womb. The baby factory was on the west coast, and the correct mother-to-be on the east coast. I am deliberately being vague as to the specific locations. One, to protect the mother’s privacy and the other, because baby factories are kept top secret for obvious reasons.

About This Blog

 

I don’t have any formal certifications or degrees to persuade readers to think I am an authority on any subject. My life’s constant curiosity about everything— under the sun, moon, and stars— drives me. I’ve lived among different cultures, devoured tens of thousands of books, and grown over the years; whether wiser or not, I leave up to you.

The blog content comprises articles, stories, and points of view from my life journey. My challenge for you is to consider the ideas I present, compare them with your views, and draw a conclusion. You may find that your opinion is reaffirmed, or your ideas may expand; you may even adopt a different perspective altogether. As we journey through life, remaining open to observation and learning enriches our journey for ourselves and others.
