My Hawks
For most of my life, I’ve envisioned two hawks perched on my shoulders. I don’t remember precisely when they appeared; certainly when I was a child navigating my tension-filled home. Much of that history is lost to blockage still, my father’s volatility and my mother’s survival skills visible to me only as peaks of experience emerging through a cloud cover, seen from a great height. I have realized recently it’s been the hawks who have kept me lifted above all those traumatic memories, and it’s only recently that I’ve begun to really make their acquaintance and honor their role in my life.

Confidence
In every mirror, I sought a phantom, pursuing an illusion that had been escaping me for what felt like an eternity. I had mistakenly labeled this part of myself as 'dull', 'untalented', and 'delusional', yet I yearned for this missing piece to return and make me whole.

I Am An Author
Hey wassup. Stop what you’re doing and lend me your eyes for a few minutes so I can tell you the story a little boy who grew up to be an author. Now this kid’s name is Joe and he’s from North Carolina. Growing up like he did, education was very important to both of his parents. His parents didn’t play about school and trust me, he learned that the hard way.

My 2025 Vocal Community Stories
Following Rachel Deeming's suggestion at the beginning of the year, I challenged myself to write at least one story for each of the Vocal Communities throughout 2025. There are 48 Communities now, and I have written for 30 of them in over four years on Vocal, before 2025. In this earlier story, I made an inventory of my best stories (often earning a Top Story badge) in these communities, but I cannot edit it anymore so I'm creating this one.

The Wind Whispers my Name.
🌬It's time I clarified who Raven-Druid-Princess-Wolf and or Dragon-Druid-Princess actually is, a figure with many titles, including the head Druid princess, the “Dragon-Princess,” and a master artificer. As the Dagda-mythic-hybrid, tribrid, electric-witch, Luna-witch, famed for her craft-writing and known as the lord of a hunter or the Blood-huntress, she’s the {Shadow-Witch,} and a {Paranormal-Investigator, vampire-slayer, Wolf-Huntress.} Wolf-hourglass eyes glowing purple, possessing shifting powers, Viking-Germanic-Native warrior-heritage, freelance-author, and creative-blogger activities place here among the most notable figures, alongside the Cleric-Truth, a divine-angelic soul called Germanic-Tribe and undercover, “{Paranormal-Investigator, vampire-slayer, Wolf-Huntress,}” known as Raven-Wolf, the evocative name “Dragon-Princess.” that is me in a nutshell. 🐧🦀🦉🦄🐫🗿🏝 ♛

A new cycle is coming: Learn and be grateful.
With just a few days left in the year, I'm taking a moment to reflect on the journey and the treasures I've collected. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that one of my biggest and most wonderful passions is learning. Maybe that sounds simple or weird, but when I look inside, check out my life, and talk to myself, I've discovered that one of the coolest things about being alive is waking up and knowing you have a new day ahead to live and learn brand new stuff.
