The Little Things Americans Take For Granted
America isn’t perfect. The entire country needs a serious makeover and attitude adjustment. We have it better in the country than people in some places, despite the flaws. People in some countries cannot enjoy freedom of speech. Women do not enjoy equal rights. Basic humanneeds like water and electricity are not always available. Simple acts can land someone in jail. We take so much for granted here in America. We’ve come to expect extras like electricity and Internet service. Far too often, we forget that people in some countries could only dream of the same luxuries.

Away from the Crowds in Wyoming
Devils Tower is the first declared National Monument in the US. It is not really known how this formed into such a unique shape. Legend has it that two girls were playing, and along came giant bears. They tried to run away from the bears and climbed to the top of a rock, praying to be saved. Then the rock rose high up into the air, and the girls were saved while the bears left their claw marks on the side of the mountain trying to climb it but failing. The Devils Tower received the honor of becoming the first National Monument in 1906, 13 years after the first recorded climb of the mountain by William Rogers and W.L. Ripley in 1893.

Signs That You Grew Up in Texas
Greetings, Vocal creators! We're going to talk about arguably the best state in this country. I'm talking about Texas and it's also my home state, in case you didn't know. Nicknamed The Lone Star State, it has over 31 million people as of 2024 and is the second largest in the country. Last year, I wrote a story about the things that I loved about Arlington, which is where I'm originally from and where I grew up. Some notable people from the 28th state include Matthew McConaughey, Nolan Ryan, Matthew Stafford, and Willie Nelson. You can read the full story by clicking the link down below. The following entries are not in any particular order.

The teas of the world
The world has given us all such wonderful tea and I have always and forever loved a cup of tea myself. Jamaica has a wonderful pomergranent tea and there is also a lovely tea from France which is French Vanilla. India has a tea that is a delicious orange flavoured tea. Last Christmas my cousin had gifted me a tea set called "Teas of the World". Through this tea set I am taking a trip around the world. Currently, I am drinking Chinese Tea and than after that I conclude my tea trip around the world in Japan.
