Charlie and the Magic Factory

Supernatural fan fiction set in season 10 Charlie and the Magic Factory By Nielle McCammon  It had been exactly 13 hours since Dean escaped Sam’s devil’s trap in the Men of Letters fortress. The Winchester/Crowley demon tag team so far proved to be an unstoppable force. Sam had used every power at his disposal to trap Dean; dark magic, summoning other demons whose hatred of Crowley rivaled his own, devil’s trap bullets…  Sam exhausted every lead; a success which lasted only an hour. Unfortunately for Sam, demon Dean had a sharper mind; keen on exploiting what he knew from the Men of Letters’ secrets, sharing them with Crowley, and working in tandem to surprise Sam at every turn. Not only did Dean have the power of Cain and the king of hell on his side, he also knew every trick up Sam’s sleeve, and the actions Sam would take based on instinct. And once an already-suffering soul has been twisted into a demon, residual brotherly love wasn’t something Sam was counting on.  Sam knew his

Who am I?

How to be yourself when you don't know who you are.... Not knowing, that insecurity, is what keeps us open to possibilities.  Who I'm not... look at the wisdom of the pain that comes with insecurity. An idea...

Let's get some things straight about bipolar disorder

 Sometimes I find it troubling the types of questions people are asking when it comes to bipolar disorder. I took some common questions from the web and answered them in my experience. Can bipolar people tell they are bipolar? It’s a different journey for everyone but for me, I had no clue until I was diagnosed in my 30s. What is a person with bipolar like? Please don’t classify us as all Having the same symptoms or reactions to things. This is like saying what is the person with diabetes like. Everyone has unique DNA, unique experiences in their lives, and so many factors that make us different. Even though we have similar symptoms, they look different on everybody. Can a bipolar person truly love? YES OF COURSE!!! (I found this one rather offensive.) Sometimes we love too much and it scares people or we love and people don’t believe us because of various symptoms or episodes in the past. Are bipolar people smart? Again… offensive. Bipolar people are smart in a way that many cannot be

Where did she go?

  I'm notoriously early to bed, early to rise these last couple years. Was more like a habit, and rhythm my body fell into. I do love the early morning hours because they are dew kissed, possibility filled, moments. Everything after that is hard. But life is struggle; whether you have mood disorders or a physical disability. Or even under "normal" circumstances I'd argue life is hard. What I need to do is unearth my optimistic, almost silly side. Where has that joy gone? Side note: doing the early bed/early rise thing doesn't guarantee healthy, wealth or wise. Or was that only applicable to men Mr. Franklin? So where has the whimsical me gone? I could argue it started hiding as soon as "grown up" issues became so important and necessary. So where is she hiding? I tried to freestyle dance (my favorite thing) the other day and I felt nothing. I could tap side to side, I could do the smallest, most basic things. (that could actually be the biproduct of anti

I'd rather be taking a nap

 I made a commitment to blog, and so far I'm not off to a great start. My excuse was moving. 2 weeks of intense manual labor. I broke down a few times during the process... not surprising. My husband was a model of perseverance and patience. It's embarrassing to be someone who can't always contain their emotions. But hell, my anxiety and bipolar disorders are life disturbing constantly. Anyone with these conditions would know. Trouble is the folks who will never be able to understand, and therefore continue to judge, use stigma, or blatantly berate those with mood disorders. I was once told in an online comment, that I should just die because I'm too sensitive for this world.   I seem to want to blog about bipolar - so I want that to stay pure, and not indulgent. I say the above types of things a lot. What I need to do is read it 5 or so times and then not say it again. Mood disorders aside, I've been feeling better the past couple days (after moving, unpacking, get

Packing and unpacking fever

  It's been suggested by my hubby that blogging every day might help me get back in the swing of things. Sooooo long this pandemic has kept me inside... and now it's time to get the power of speech, ripped from dysfunction, onto this page.  It's a wild time... packing to move to our first nice house as a married couple. I hate packing. Everyone expects me to be nothing but excited... and I AM excited. There are just a couple thousand things to do before getting to the fun part. Things at the house now feel chaotic because of the process of moving. I can't get peaceful when things are in this state (unless I'm just sleeping). I try to think what I can do to speed things up. 12 days till move-in.  Just keep swimming, swimming, swim......

Ready for Google's Changes?

Google Search Rankings Are Changing 4-21! Is your website mobile-friendly? Starting April 21st, Google will change their algorithm so mobile-friendly websites appear higher in search results. It should come as no surprise to our smartphone-addicted society that 60% of internet access is mostly conducted through a mobile phone. At our office we are working on a web redesign for this very reason. A website that can't be navigated easily on a smart phone WILL lose viewers.
