In a search of financial security...

Everywhere you see, you will encounter posts that say you should do this to increase your passive income or learn and use AI to create an income stream. That is exactly what my sister and I decided to do. This is where we will document everything we did and how much we made. The reason for us documenting everything in written form is that everything is sight-heavy in a way you watch and see. However, at least to me, it feels like when I watch something for a long time, there is a disconnection between my sight and my brain. So, to stimulate my brain using my eyes, writing things out is the way to go. When I read, I imagine the scene and feel the emotions that tantalize me. Hopefully, this is the case for you.   Back to our financial security plan... So, we do "Sister Check-Ins" every week. This is where we talk about everything, literally everything. There will be some family gathering planning or what we are watching (as in movies) and reading. Of course, anything related to...

A mundane week

     I just checked my BGL and it was normal.       I had carbs (even though I am cutting it out) on April Fools Day. In my defense, there is a time.
