New Chapter

Image
It has been a while since I've written here. Sometimes life requires looking from the outside in to more forward with clarity. The past few months have been a season of growth, recalibration, and intentional change. I've been building quietly, healing with purpose, and choosing alignment over distraction. Now feels like the right time to share where I've been and where I'm headed. The last time I posted was in December, sharing pieces of my novella. At that time, I was deep in creativity and finishing a chapter of my life that means more to me than I can fully express. In December, I completed my Associate's Degree in Creative Writing. An accomplishment I put off for many years, since 2020 to be exact. That milestone represents my years of growth, late nights, doubt, discipline, and belief. I know that sounds extreme, given that its a degree. However, as a single parent to two wonderful children, it required so much of me to push through and complete my degree progr...

Scavenger Hunts in Tibia

Image
 💜 The Joy of Scavenger Hunts in Tibia - A Personal Adventure 💜 Most Tibia players have roamed the cobbled streets of Thais, or climbed the snowy ground in Svargrond, or wandered among the elven trees of Ab'Dendriel, leading us to realize Tibia is a world full of corners and endless secrets. One of my absolute favorite ways to enjoy friendship in Tibia, beyond team hunting, questing, or PvP, is to create scavenger hunts! Yes, scavenger hunts . Now, you might be wondering... How does that even work in a hardcore fantasy MMORPG like Tibia? Where hundreds of people are online at any given moment on each server. Let me walk you through my process of creating scavenger hunts. Maybe you'll be inspired to craft one yourself! 💜 Turning Cities into a Puzzle 💜 Tibia consists of many different areas. Cities like Carlin, Thais, Venore, Edron, Yalahar, and beyond, there is a sense of history and personality in every city. I tap into that. Each scavenger hunt I create is like weaving a s...

Cali's Decor

Image
   💜 What Style of Decoration Have I done?💜 The majority of my decorations are inspired by my life, memories, events, changes, or simply things that I like. Each individual decoration I have created since 2018 has a story, a purpose, and a special place in my heart. I suppose I should back up a bit and refer to my earlier days in Tibia. 💜 Early days of Tibia for me 💜 In my beginning days of Tibia, I spent a lot of time talking with friends, hunting the tombs of Ankrahmun, joining in PK wars, and occasionally decorating houses. I remember the first character that I got to mainland in Thais, a sorcerer. I wandered off south of the city finding an energy ring along my way. I was then faced by a minotaur, so I put the ring on thinking that it would give me "energy" to fight this creature. 😂 Needless to say, I died very quickly, but it was a lesson. I remember my first time being PKed. I was at the Thais potion shop buying manas. Next thing I know I was trapped with a fire de...
