Truck Driving Mama My - Icy Adventure

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 20:47:37 GMT

Truck Driving Mama - My Icy Adventure

A Humorous Tale from the Open Road

In a time not so long ago, I found myself in an occupation where women were as rare as hen's teeth. My husband, the long-haul truck driver extraordinaire, often invited me along on his adventures when the kiddos could be left in capable hands. One chilly winter weekend, he rolled up to the house and asked if I'd join him on a grain delivery to Nebraska. "Why not?" I thought, grabbing a bag and hopping into the passenger seat of the Peterbilt tractor. Off we went, like modern-day pioneers with our high-tech covered wagon—complete with a tarp to protect our precious cargo of grain.

As fate would have it, the weather forecast predicted a blizzard brewing up as we left Texas. My dear husband had trained me to take the wheel only under ideal weather conditions. So, when he handed me the keys and promptly dozed off, he confidently instructed, "If you run into bad weather, pull over and wake me up." With a gleeful heart, I took the wheel. I must admit, I relished the double-takes from people in the passing vehicles when they realized a woman was driving this behemoth.

Relief driving for my husband was one thing, but I had no aspirations of making it a full-time gig. As I crossed into Oklahoma, nightfall descended, and I reveled in my brief stint as a female truck driver. Everything was going smoothly until I hit the Indian Nation Turnpike and, lo and behold, encountered a winter wonderland of ice and snow. For those unfamiliar, there is a stretch of the turnpike that does not offer off-ramps due to its elevated and isolated location. Panic set in with white knuckles and a terror unknown before, the road ahead transformed into an ice rink, and snowflakes pelted the windshield.

At that precise moment, my husband poked his head out of the sleeper cab like a curious mouse and said, "Pull over." I retorted, "If I pull over, we'll be saving a toll fee!" Without another word, he slid into the passenger seat, likely praying to every deity he could think of. Meanwhile, I had been praying for divine intervention for miles. I eased off the accelerator, gingerly downshifting with the clutch, and finally, like a mouse escaping a trap, I saw the end of the turnpike.

I coasted down the off-ramp into the truck stop parking lot, managing to park between two colossal rigs. Climbing down from the truck, I felt like a lab monkey with an open cage door—free at last! As I stepped out, slipping and sliding onto the icy ground, I was met with a round of applause. Mortified, I wondered if they were clapping for my safe arrival or my stature—a mere five-foot-tall woman!

You might think this harrowing experience marked the end of my trucking days, but you'd be wrong. Raised with the belief that if you fall off a horse, you get right back on, I was determined to persevere. However, it was the end of my driving for the rest of that trip. By the time we reached Nebraska, I was thoroughly convinced that trucking in the snow was not for me. Coming from a part of Texas with little to no snow, I was utterly unprepared for the winter wonderland awaiting us. The snow was so deep that I had to shout for my husband to come back and rescue me as I sank into the powdery abyss.

The journey back home was equally uneventful. My husband, now fully aware of my aversion to icy roads, took over the driving duties. I settled into the passenger seat, vowing to stick to more familiar terrain. As we rolled along, I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of my adventure. From the applause at the truck stop to my snowdrift predicament, it was a trip I wouldn't soon forget.

Back in Texas, I returned to my routine with a newfound appreciation for the comforts of home. No more icy roads or snowdrifts for me, at least until the next time my husband convinced me to join him on another trucking escapade. Despite the challenges, there was a certain charm to the open road and the camaraderie among truckers. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe I'll find myself back in the driver's seat, navigating new adventures with a smile on my face and another story to tell.

As the days turned into weeks, life settled back into its usual rhythm. The kids had their school, sports, and never-ending social events, while I found solace in my daily routines—cleaning, cooking, and managing the household. Yet, the memory of my icy adventure lingered, sparking conversations at family dinners and gatherings with friends. My tale became a sort of legend among our circle, with each retelling adding a new layer of humor and exaggeration.

One evening, as we sat around the dinner table, my husband casually mentioned another trip he had lined up. "This time, it's a delivery to sunny California," he said with a grin. The kids immediately chimed in with excitement, begging to join the journey. I looked at my husband, raising an eyebrow, and he winked back, knowing full well that the allure of the open road still held a piece of my heart.

"Alright," I conceded, "but no icy roads this time." The kids cheered, and plans were swiftly made for our Californian adventure. Little did I know, this trip would bring its own set of unexpected challenges and delightful surprises. As we packed our bags and prepared for the journey, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. The open road beckoned once more, promising new stories, laughter, and memories to cherish.

And so, we set off on our next trucking escapade, a family united by the thrill of adventure and the bonds of love. With each mile we traveled, I found myself more and more enamored with the life of a trucker's companion. The road ahead was uncertain, but one thing was clear—together, we could face anything that came our way, one mile at a time.

PRISON GUARD TRAINING: A Comedy of Errors

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 22:35:05 GMT

PRISON GUARD TRAINING: A Comedy of Errors

Welcome to my thrilling escapade in the second phase of prison guard training, where I proudly stood as a trailblazing woman, part of Texas’s second batch of female prison guards. With women being as rare as a unicorn in a sea of men, we often found ourselves assigned to “safe places.” Safe places were like the VIP sections of prisons: control areas, reception areas, front offices, and entrance gates—essentially, the prime real estate of law enforcement. Oh, and did I mention that we also got the charming assignment of working late nights more than the guys? Apparently, it’s all about keeping the ladies out of the "danger zone," which no one ever bothered to explain—talk about a mystery among men!

One particularly delightful night, as the winds howled and the rain poured like buckets from the sky, I was tasked with outside security. Yes, you guessed it—my mission was to determine if the ghosts of inmates’ past were trying to sneak out through broken windows or if the school building had acquired a taste for night-time shenanigans. Armed with a rain poncho that made me look like a confused potato and oversized rubber boots that were more like clown shoes issued to me by the Sargent, I bravely ventured outside, ready to take on whatever the night had in store.

After successfully checking doors and cavorting through empty buildings (and trying not to slip and fall like a cartoon character), I approached the gate to the back of the inmate residence buildings. It was here that my epic battle with the mud began. I swung open the gate like a heroic guardian, only to find that one of my rubber boots was now a permanent resident of the mud. With one foot free and the other still firmly planted in muddy oblivion, I began an awkward hop, reminiscent of a one-legged duck trying to swim.

As if the night couldn’t get any better, the wind decided to play dress-up, catching my poncho and turning it into a cape that could only be described as a wet, soggy superhero ensemble. In my moment of despair, I thought, “Why not channel my inner inmate and climb the fence?” So, I did just that—leaping onto the fence like a not-so-graceful gazelle.

Naturally, my heroic endeavors didn’t go unnoticed. The guard in the tower saw my impromptu attempt at vertical escape and shouted at me to get down. I, in my infinite wisdom, shook my head like a defiant toddler. His repeated demands were met with my best stubborn pout until he finally called for backup. In the meantime I had a vision of the guard reporting me as an attempted escapee and was going to shoot me, Yes, folks, I had to be rescued from a fence while covered in mud and wearing a poncho. If this prison guard thing didn’t work out, I could at least start a career in slapstick comedy.

After my muddy rescue mission, I shuffled back to Line Control, boots caked in mud and my uniform looking like I had just survived a monsoon. My Sargent, the epitome of consideration, took one look at the mud I had tracked in and immediately demanded to know, “Who got mud all over this floor?”

With a voice so small it could fit in a thimble; I confessed that the culprit was none other than yours truly. I then tactfully placed the blame on those oversized boots he had supplied me with. If there had been an escape route available, I would have vanished faster than you could say "wet critter."

For the rest of my shift, I embraced my new role as a janitor in the Line Control building, tirelessly mopping away the evidence of my unfortunate adventures, while anxiously counting down the minutes until I could escape back to normalcy. Lesson learned: when you work in a prison, sometimes the toughest prison break you’ll face is from a muddy boot!

LOVE, LAUGH, AND LIVE

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:03:00 GMT

LOVE, LAUGH, AND LIVE

The first time the word "cancer" is mentioned about one's own health, it immediately becomes the most terrifying sound in the English language. When the doctor told me I had breast cancer, my world flipped like a pancake on a Sunday morning. My first thought was, "I have so much to do while I can." I had a will to write, plans for a final service, and a plethora of details to prepare for the grand finale.

But just because I thought my days were numbered, didn’t mean I could ignore the mundane chores. Bills still needed to be paid, laundry still needed to be done; apparently, cancer isn’t a valid excuse to escape adult responsibilities. So, I decided to give myself five minutes to cry and the rest of my life to laugh. As the old publication Reader’s Digest wisely said, “Laughter is the best medicine.” And boy, was it ever.

Once I accepted my condition, I started having these whimsical visions of rejoining my family on the other side. I danced to the music in my head and took time to sing in the rain as well as the shower . I imagined myself free as a bird, liberated from all those tedious activities like paying bills, dealing with racism, hate, and gender bias. Oh, what an enchanting place I was about to enter! Then came the next visit to the doctor, where I learned that my cancer was in the early stages and not terminal. Most patients would have been overjoyed, but not me. I had such a beautiful exit plan, and here I was still with my feet on the ground.

In the beginning, I had allowed myself the luxury to cry for a few minutes and then decided to spend the rest of my life laughing and learning to live better among my fellow humans. My physicians handed me a medical plan for a cure, but true to the standard practice of the day, they didn’t mention the consequences of the treatment or the long-lasting effects. I eagerly dove into the realm of “let’s kill this growth and get on with living.” Now that I was here for the long haul, I resolved not to waste another day. I still listened to the music in my head and yearned to dance in the rain.

One year later, after being subjected to needles, pinched, poked, prodded, diced with surgery, poisoned with chemo, and burned with radiation, I asked my caretakers, “Is there anything else you haven’t tried to abuse me with?” No Olympic runner could have beaten me out of my medical appointment.

After all these past tribulations, I was finally able to live my life with a peace and joy toward death that I had never known before—or so I thought. Fast forward twenty-seven years later, and I heard the word “cancer” again. This time, it was on the opposite side. My response? “Oh well, at least I’ll be balanced on both sides now.” Hearing those dreaded words again was akin to telling a mother she was pregnant with her fifth child. All the treatment protocols were so familiar, it felt like I was getting back on a well-known rodeo horse. The bucking shoot opened, and the ride was on.

But here's the thing about life and its unexpected twists—sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Like when your hair grows back post-chemo and decides to channel its inner porcupine, or when you realize that hospital gowns are designed by someone who has clearly never worn one on a windy day. And let's not forget the joy of explaining to curious children why your wig looks better than their grandma's.

So, as I sit here, balanced on both sides and reflecting on my "two rides," I can't help but chuckle. Life, in all its unpredictable glory, has a way of keeping us on our toes. And if I’ve learned anything from my adventures, it’s that a good laugh can turn even the darkest moments into bearable ones.

Why Creating a Podcast is a Waste of Time: The Brutal Truth You Need to Hear

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 19:26:55 GMT

In today’s digital age, one harsh reality is becoming increasingly evident: creating a standalone podcast is a colossal waste of time. This isn’t just a provocative statement; it’s backed by hard facts and industry statistics. If you’re considering starting a podcast because some business coach or “media expert” told you it’s the key to growing your brand, increasing your influence, or connecting with your audience, think again. The inconvenient truth is that merely launching a podcast is a futile endeavor in the hyper-competitive landscape we now inhabit.

UnMasking Humanity: 21 Questions with Joshua T Berglan featuring Melissa Georgeoff

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 23:36:43 GMT

UnMasking Humanity: 21 Questions with Joshua T Berglan featuring Melissa Georgeoff

In a world where authenticity often takes a backseat to performance, Melissa Georgeoff stands out as a beacon of genuine leadership and compassion. As the latest guest on Joshua T Berglan's "UnMasking Humanity: 21 Questions," Melissa shared insights from her remarkable journey in corporate America, her passion for helping people with disabilities, and her new ventures in coaching and podcasting.

A Journey of Authentic Leadership

Melissa's story is one of perseverance and growth. Coming from humble beginnings, she climbed the corporate ladder without a college degree, eventually becoming the only woman on a senior leadership team for 24 years. Her experience has given her a unique perspective on the challenges faced by women in the workplace and the importance of authentic leadership.

"I never had a woman mentor my whole career," Melissa revealed. This lack of female mentorship fueled her passion for helping other women navigate the corporate world. She emphasized the importance of investing in mid-level managers, particularly women, who are often overlooked in leadership development programs.

Advocating for People with Disabilities

Throughout her career, Melissa has been a tireless advocate for people with disabilities. Her work in the medical device industry and with health plans has given her firsthand experience of the challenges faced by individuals needing complex rehab technology and durable medical equipment.

One of the most touching moments of the interview was when Melissa shared a story about going above and beyond for a client. She traveled to Oklahoma to meet a mother and child who couldn't afford a special bathtub. Moved by their situation, Melissa and her brother worked together to build and donate a custom tub, allowing the child to have a proper bath for the first time in months.

This story exemplifies Melissa's commitment to making a real difference in people's lives. "I just can't believe we're in the United States of America and that people with disabilities have to fight for what they need," she said, highlighting the ongoing need for advocacy and education in this area.

The SEE THE UNSEEN Podcast and Coaching Program

Melissa's latest ventures include her "SEE THE UNSEEN" podcast and coaching program. These initiatives allow her to share her wealth of experience and help others overcome the challenges she's faced in her own career.

The podcast features a diverse range of guests, from individuals with disabilities who've achieved remarkable feats to singer-songwriters who deserve more recognition. "I want to bring visibility to people I care about and the things that I think are worth saying," Melissa explained.

Her coaching program focuses on empowering mid-level managers, particularly women, to develop their leadership skills. Topics include delegation, work-life balance, and overcoming limiting beliefs – all areas where Melissa has personal experience and insights to share.

Faith, Family, and Finding Purpose

Throughout the interview, Melissa emphasized the importance of faith and family in her life. She shared how her relationship with God has deepened in recent years and how it guides her decisions and actions.

"Every day, I start with prayer," Melissa said, describing her morning routine. "I first of all just tell God that I love him, and then ask for forgiveness of my sins, specifically thank him for my family and all the blessings in my life, and then ask his holy spirit to come in and direct me and lead me in every which way."

This focus on faith has helped Melissa navigate recent career changes and find new purpose in her coaching and advocacy work. She sees her current path as an opportunity to make a positive impact and leave a lasting legacy.

Lessons in Leadership and Life

Throughout the "21 Questions" format, Melissa shared valuable insights on leadership, personal growth, and making a difference:

Authenticity is key: Melissa stressed the importance of being your authentic self, both in leadership roles and in life.
Overcome limiting beliefs: Many of Melissa's coaching efforts focus on helping others push past self-imposed limitations.
Advocate for others: Whether it's for people with disabilities or underrepresented groups in the workplace, Melissa encourages using your voice to help others.
Embrace vulnerability: Being open about your struggles can help build trust and stronger relationships.
Seek balance: Melissa emphasized the importance of putting faith and family first, even while pursuing career goals.
Leave a legacy: Consider the impact you want to have and the memories you want to leave behind.

Looking to the Future

As Melissa looks to the future, she remains open to new opportunities while staying true to her passions. She continues to consult in the mobility sector, helping companies improve their services for people with disabilities. Her coaching and podcast work allow her to share her experiences and help others grow in their careers and personal lives.

"My biggest goal is to make a difference in people's lives and to help the person maybe that I used to be and help them kind of overcome the things that I've already overcome in my life," Melissa said, summing up her mission.

Call to Action

Melissa Georgeoff's story is one of resilience, compassion, and authentic leadership. Her journey from humble beginnings to corporate success and now to empowering others is truly inspiring.

Healing Journey: From Shadows to Light by Joshua T Berglan

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 22:41:12 GMT

Healing Journey: From Shadows to Light by Joshua T Berglan

This is a from-the-heart post. Although this platform is used primarily for business and now evidently matchmaking, I am going to be me. For those who really know me, you are prepared. For those who don’t, here is a piece of my heart.

Sure, I want to be popular because of the influence it would provide to help me fight for the causes I deeply care about. Power can influence change, and I have desired to use it for good and for the underserved. But this post is not about that. It's about my mental illness and disability. If you read the entire thing, you'll understand that it's a positive post, but I feel led to share this. When I feel led, I do it, no matter what it costs me. Following that belief has led me into some fascinating situations, but that's for another day.

I hate having Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). While I have new diagnoses to add to it now, the one I hate is DID. I want to blame tremors for why I'm separated from the loves of my life and for robbing me of so much life I had. Besides the fact that I felt like my spirit began to slowly leave me each day as the tremors progressed.

The tremors almost killed me and brought me to the point where I was saying my goodbyes to my first real love and the person I planned on changing their diapers one day. Not sure she would have changed mine, but no biggie.

The tremors made it impossible for me to go into public without experiencing extreme pain because of all the people talking, the sounds I couldn't control, and believe it or not, phone notifications. I'm a social guy when I am, but because the pain got so bad, I would choose to stay home in isolation. Not just isolated from the world, but also my own family because even their voices caused me pain.

Can you imagine having the love of your life’s voice hurting you?

Most days, I would fall asleep at 6 or 7 pm because the pain would shut me down, only to wake up at 2 am and then spend even more time alone. Talk about an intimacy killer. Talk about a connection killer.

I want to blame the tremors for a lot, but as I begin to heal a little more each day, I'm able to reflect and see just how hard I made it to stay connected in a meaningful way for extended times with the people I love most because of how often I dissociated.

I'm starting to remember things I never remembered, and I'm seeing other perspectives of the emotional pain I caused when I wasn't myself or present because I had "switched" or dissociated. I'm also understanding the other levels of distress, confusion, heartbreak, and other pains I caused when I wasn't myself.

I've worked so hard to heal from DID, and the person who helped me integrate into society, be able to have friends, good working relations, and even know how to love, have empathy, and even love myself is the one who got negatively affected the most.

Learning to love myself is still a process, especially after the last six months. I don't love myself so much right now because I hate what my mental illness and my inability to completely heal from it or be delivered from it has wrecked in my life.

I'm a DID success story in progress. I've overcome a lot, and I've defied the odds in so many ways. However, the one area that I wanted to be the biggest success in was having a happy, healthy, and loving family life with the love of my life and the children we might be blessed to raise.

When I gave my life to the Lord and began my healing journey, I did the work (I do the work), and due to obedience, I was slowly blessed with my life restoring so much of what I had lost before. I was blessed with a family, and to be honest, I thought I was healed.

I went through so many deliverance sessions I almost thought about auditioning for the remake of The Exorcist.

Family life taught me how to love, feel loved, and experience real, pure joy as I am madly in love with the girls I got to help raise. They are my kids, and I am their bonus dad, and now I am separated from them because of the toll my disabilities took on them, and I wasn't getting well there. I know I needed to leave, but I didn't want to because the thought of being away from the people I love most in the world was soul-crushing.

The tremors slowly robbed me of my spirit, and in all honesty, I know it couldn't have been easy to be around me, even though I did my best to keep a smile on my face and have a good attitude. The pain I was in just made joy seem impossible to find. I can't imagine what it was like to be around me and how it dragged them down too.

It's easy for me to blame the tremors as I said, but I'm quite sure my loves could have handled me much better had they not had to deal with all of the times I dissociated and isolated in a safe room until I was myself again.

Yes, this is real, it is my life, and to be honest, I'm grateful for my Love for coming up with the idea because that room helped us stay together as a Family, as friends, and people who loved each other. It prevented the normal horror shows fights would have been without them.

Once someone dissociates, all bets are off on what might happen. This is no excuse; I'm just being honest from my personal experience because, dammit, I know I'm not the only one who deals with this.

How in the world can I tell people the truth is a superpower and not talk about this? I'm sure if my Love is reading this, she's going to be not happy, but then again, I doubt she will because I have completely sabotaged the relationship by fighting so hard to keep her, not losing her, and wanting more of her attention than she could give me. Why would she want to give me attention after what life was like with me for the last six months? While I believed she would be there till the end, I don't blame her for wanting to be away from me.

I pray to God that we will be reunited, but I know that won't happen, and shouldn't happen until I am healed. Even if I am healed and I don't get my family back, I will at least know I loved myself enough to get well completely before I ever entered into a relationship again. Not just healed of mental illness or from the tremors, but also professionally.

I've been building for the future instead of today because of what I believe is coming in the 4th Industrial Revolution, and based on what we are witnessing currently play out, I'm really happy I put all of my energy into building for the future instead of focusing on getting a job that would put up with my DID. I believe we were created for a purpose, and we are to pursue that purpose using our gifts, talents, and intellectual property. I believe the Creator created us to create, and the new world is about that in my opinion.

In doing this, it allowed me to take on big projects; however, I never took money upfront because I was working with "Kingdom people" who made lots of promises that never produced, and this is not one group, it is many. The financial stress I put my family under because of how I choose to live, being led by the Spirit, caused almost as much pain as everything else.

I failed as a man to provide for the people I loved the most because I wanted to serve God and do what I was being led to do. I made things impossibly tough, even though we always had last-minute miracles and random blessings. The stress is a lot to put on a family, and it's even worse when financial pressure is added.

When I gave my life to the Lord, I simply said, "Take my life, it is yours," and I had quite the experience. I won't go into that here, but it changed everything for me, and it was the first promise I made that I have kept.

So, it's really confusing sometimes when I do what I believe I'm being led to do by God, and the consequences of that usually bring some level of pain that leads to a breakthrough or blessing. But sometimes the good part doesn't happen for a while. At this moment, I'm only believing for the best possible outcome for all and for radical healing. As I write this, I'm starting to want to hit backspace, delete, not share this, but I have to tell you if I don't do this now, I will end up doing it later in a book like I did with my first one.

But I'm being led to do this now because I'm not crying out for help as I'm in a good environment, safe, with people I trust and love. I'm also getting to repair some other fractured relationships from my past. I hurt a lot of people.

I thought I was past that. I'm a man of God, but I don't always act like it, and that's why I hate DID, or ASD now, or whatever they will change it to, but I switch, have alters... or should I say, had? A funny thing about the tremors... I don't dissociate anymore.

I can't dissociate other than going to "the empty space," which I call neutral. After my first presentation with Score Mentors, I went into neutral and wreaked havoc on my relationship because I was in such a funk. Every time I emcee, speak on stage, or present, I lose myself for days, sometimes longer. I was just reminded of that tonight by my mom. That in itself breaks my heart because I

wasted an opportunity to love the person I love most in the world.

She's going to say I'm insane for writing this, but I wrote The Devil Inside Me; does she think I won't talk about this? I didn't say names in the book; I'm not saying names now. So I could be talking about an AI character for all you know... Ummm, nevermind.

Is it a weird irony that the tremors have kept me from dissociation, yet the pain is far worse because I can't? I'm feeling heartbreak for the first time in my life that has lasted longer than five minutes. I'm going on weeks now, and every day my heart breaks more, I feel my Spirit come back a little more. For some reason, I keep finding hope, in between tears, outbursts of emotion, an inability to not text my family to tell them I love them and miss them, and I'm trying to let them go, but I can't NOT fight for the people I love. But I have to let go to love them properly and give them to God, who they really belong to anyway.

I don't talk often about the other kids or wives I've lost in the past because I put all of that into a book, but I never felt the pain I should have felt because I couldn't. I hate DID because if I could have hurt the way I do now, I would have done something about this madness before I left such a wreckage in my path. I'm quite sure the pain would have been so bad, I would have been smart enough to not get into relationships until I was healed.

The one thing I do right often is serve and be in service of people; that's how I show love. It's sincere; I want to serve and I want to help anyone who needs it. It's the one way I feel close to God and that I'm doing something right. When I'm serving, I'm locked in, I'm at peace, and I'm at my best most of the time. Doing God's will has blessed my life in more ways than I can mention, yet there is also so much loss involved and causing people pain.

Now that I'm not dissociating, I feel every emotion, every stinging tear, sick to my stomach, sad moments. I know this is a blessing; it feels like death. It feels like being reborn, again, but this time in a longer, more drawn-out, punishing way.

Not only am I experiencing real emotions, I'm remembering things I didn't remember, as I'm seeing it in my vision play out, scene after scene of moments that I only remembered the aftermath before. What is this?

Are the tremors healing me, or are they trying to kill me? And then out of the blue, I get a moment of hope that pops in to remind me that I'm on the right path, as I get one of those signs and messages of hope to show me that I am indeed on the right path.

When I see that, I remember that the same God who does the impossible, the one who guides us to do the extraordinary with our purposes, as we are doing what the Creator created us to do, the God of miracles can do anything God wants. If God can make visions come to life, then God can heal families too. I know it was an act of obedience for me to leave my home, not just by me, but by my family. I did the right thing by leaving, and even though I also live with heartbreak and confusion that is slowly fading away as I see more clearly, I know I get to do more work to heal and get everything in order before I can even think about trying to lead a family... the real dream I wish to come true. The dream that has all of my kids, and family members, and most recent family all together.

That is my heart's desire, that is my ask of God, but to be honest, I also say, "I want what you want most for my life. If I blew my opportunity for a family with this, then I accept that. If reunification is not your will, I accept that." I don't want to, but I do want what God wants for me most, and right now God has some work to do on me, and I get to put that into action.

I got a message early this morning from one of my brothers, not by blood but spiritually, and I'm convinced God is speaking through him. How we met and how our relationship has grown is not what I had expected, especially because when we met, he needed a last-minute "miracle" for his non-profit, and together we were able to make it happen. He even bought my book, and for many reasons, I never thought I would hear from him again.

My first book, the one I wrote and created a movie for with the love of my life, and what really helped me unlock the door on my destiny, is also the source of material that caused me to not get welcomed into many churches. The Devil Inside Me is not a catchy title for churchgoers, or are demons not really cast out at church? Or I don't know, but I do know my confessions of the life I lived before God got a hold of me and how I gave my life to Christ, I guess, did not align with the theology of the Christian church. Or maybe it was because I told the truth in a graphic way. Either way, that book has caused more to see me as a demon than a man who is desperate for God because, without Him, I mess everything up.

I wrote the book because I believed that we were supposed to confess our sins, not dance around the actual truth. Then again, I am not a seasoned man of God, so what do I know, but I do know church rejection hurts, and being rejected by fellow believers caused great pains in my life and even relationships. My method of being authentic about my struggles was a turn-off, I guess. I'm sure people reading this, if anyone actually is, are also rubbing people the wrong way or think I'm a douche for being so open.

I lived in the shadows, and even deeper shadows for most of my life. Once I found Light, well, it was freeing, but it's also where I was forced to face things about myself that were not easy. Heck, I didn't know my identity for most of my walk; I didn't even know what sexuality I was because it shifted with each "switch," so I understand why church people might not welcome me. But to my surprise, this friend has shown up for me like an angel to offer me wisdom. So I want to close with this, as my feelings and thoughts are all over the place. But from my heart, and using a message I got this morning after day two of writing this...

If you have DID, BPD, Schizophrenia, ASD, or any other disability that has caused you relational problems and you fear love, please don't. I know your heart has been broken, especially if you have learned how to have empathy, and you might not want to go through it again, or believe that you are worthy of love or another shot. That is a lie from the devil itself. I used to tell myself all the time I would never find love after having HIV, being in jail six times, being a chemsex addict, having DID, and contributing to several broken homes because I didn't believe I was worthy or good enough.

I'm here to tell you that it was surrendering all of those fears that allowed me to get focused and work to become a man that was desirable to someone, someone very special. For over four years, I was loved and cared for and got to experience family unlike I ever had before. I'm convinced God's love did that for me, and while right now I'm heartbroken, sad, and confused, I know deep down that it's worth it because while I don't want to be away from the ones I love, and I might never see them again, I'm so grateful for the love I did get to experience. I'm so grateful for the joy I got to experience and how I learned to be almost human. I'm grateful for how my Loves humanized me and helped me become more approachable and not seen as a monster.

I'm grateful also for the hard lessons it taught me because it exposed an area I need to work on the most: self-control, which won't just serve me in love, but in life. I don't want to let go, but if I don't, I'm playing God, and I'm not letting God do the work God wants to do in my life, and obviously the people I love. Letting go is the only real way I can show my love for them. We cannot receive all that was meant for us if we don't do the work to heal all the wounds of our past... the reason why is because if we are not healed, we will destroy our blessings. Take it from me, I have destroyed many of my blessings because I was not healed or spiritually mature enough to handle it.

I've learned my lesson. I am committed to healing in all areas of my life before I even think of being in another relationship. However, for now, a big part of my motivation is the hope and belief that God will restore my family, as God is the God of miracles and restoration. If for some reason it is not God's will, then I will at least know that being a healed, whole man of God will be enough to help me finish my own race, my own journey, and my God-given purpose.

Thank you for letting me share my heart. I don't know who needed to hear it or if I just needed to write it, but thank you. I have more work to do, and part of that work is sharing my heart. I am committed to my advocacy for others, always, as it brings me joy, but I am now going to advocate for my own health and well-being so I can LOVE the way I want, without ever missing time again. I believe God will heal my tremors, and with it, DID will go away also.

I will also never allow anything to come between me and my relationship with God again. I will never allow anything to come before the purpose He created me for, and I will never let God not lead my family, business, and service life again.

Love to you all. I know better days are ahead for us all.

Course 4 - Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering the Underserved in the Digital Media Era

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 21:26:11 GMT

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the ability to access and navigate technology has become crucial for personal and professional success. However, a significant portion of the global population remains underserved when it comes to digital resources and skills. This digital divide not only limits individual opportunities but also hinders overall societal progress. In this post, we'll explore the challenges faced by underserved communities and discuss strategies for empowerment in the digital media era.

Understanding the Digital Divide

The digital divide refers to the gap between those who have access to modern information and communication technology and those who don't. This disparity is influenced by various factors:

The impact of this divide is far-reaching, affecting:

Job opportunities
Access to information and services
Educational outcomes
Civic participation

Identifying Opportunities in the Changing Media Landscape

Despite the challenges, the evolving digital media landscape presents numerous opportunities for the underserved:

Emerging technologies: AI, VR, and blockchain offer new possibilities for content creation and distribution.
Inclusive media platforms: User-generated content and niche market targeting allow for diverse voices to be heard.

Developing Essential Skills for the Digital Economy

To thrive in the digital age, individuals need to develop a range of skills:

Coding and web development

Creating inclusive and accessible digital content is crucial for empowering underserved communities:

Implement accessibility features like alt text for images and closed captions for videos.
Follow inclusive design principles and user-centered approaches.
Adhere to accessibility laws and guidelines (e.g., WCAG)

Initiatives for Improving Internet Access

Various efforts are underway to bridge the digital divide:

Government programs like the FCC's Lifeline program
Non-profit initiatives such as EveryoneOn and Human-I-T

Mobile-First Strategies for Content and Services

Given the higher prevalence of smartphones in underserved communities, adopting mobile-first strategies is crucial:

Community-Based Digital Literacy Programs

Local initiatives play a vital role in empowering underserved populations:

Library-based digital literacy workshops
School and after-school programs integrating digital skills
Community center programs tailored for different age groups
Mobile training units bringing digital literacy to remote areas

Representation and Diverse Voices in Media

Increasing diversity in media is essential for true empowerment:

Implement inclusive hiring practices in media organizations
Create platforms for diverse voices and community storytelling
Address bias in algorithms and AI to ensure fair representation

Monetization Strategies for Digital Content

Empowering creators from underserved communities includes providing avenues for monetization:

Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Patreon

Licensing content and exploring brand partnerships

Building a Personal Brand Online

For individuals from underserved communities, establishing a strong online presence can open doors:

The Transformative Power of Media Literacy by Joshua T Berglan

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Tue, 28 May 2024 21:34:17 GMT

Hey everyone, this is Joshua T. Berglan . I want to thank you so much for being here today. I'm a little unorthodox or unorganized, as the better word for this broadcast, because every time I prepare to do a broadcast lately, I find it very challenging to get through because of these tremors. But I miss broadcasting, so I'm going to give this a shot again. I have literally tried to do this broadcast four times, and each time has been a struggle. Doing interviews like I used to do has become kind of impossible with the record and stop method. It’s not a lot of fun because the interview broadcast I did was called " Conversations ."

As challenging as talking and communicating is, I am so passionate about this subject because of how it's helped me and others. Writing a blog about it doesn’t feel good because I like to talk about media literacy and how media can help even the people with the greatest disabilities, including those in underserved communities. Most of the value in this broadcast will probably come from the clips, and I'm grateful for technologies like CutLabs, which I will be using for the clips of this video. Shout out to CutLabs AI for being awesome!

I don't know how entertaining this broadcast will be, but this is about the transformative power of media literacy and how media can help you if you’re disabled or struggling. For instance, my phone ringing aggravates my tremors the most. Despite this, I want to talk about how even those who are disabled or struggle with media can find alternatives. One of the most exciting things about the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the new technologies coming up, which are polarizing and disruptive but exciting for people like me who saw this coming and prepared for it.

This new world we are heading into has opportunities for us all, including the disabled, marginalized, ex-cons, former trafficking victims, and the mentally ill. This era can be scary because of the changes, but I’m learning that nothing is as good or as bad as it seems. I’m just doing the best I can with what I have. Even though broadcasting is hard because talking is hard and my hands make it hard to type and edit, there are tools available. I was still able to publish a book and translate it into multiple languages. Shout out to my book, "Media Company in a Box: Independent Media in the Fourth Industrial Revolution." It’s a how-to guide and reference manual that is constantly updated.

Without these tools, I wouldn’t get to broadcast and teach. I may forget what I say sometimes due to the tremors, but I’m just doing my best. I believe that we have a Creator who has amazing purposes for us. I’ve seen miracles every day since I chose this path, and no matter what comes at me, I believe there’s something better and more. Even though I spend most of my time in pain now, these media tools and principles are allowing me to still make my dreams come true. I’m still getting to speak in front of crowds, broadcast on other people’s platforms, serve, and mentor.

" Media Company in a Box" is going into universities around the world, and this book was written when I was disabled, not able-bodied. I’ve had mental illness my whole life but was still able to accomplish things. That’s the point of this: the transformative power of media literacy.

Understanding media literacy is crucial. It involves critically analyzing, evaluating, and creating media content across various platforms. By cultivating media literacy, individuals can navigate the vast sea of information with discernment, recognizing biases, challenging narratives, and participating in content creation. Media literacy empowers underserved communities for self-expression, advocacy, and social change.

Media controls the narrative, so having independent media is important. By sharing verifiable truth, we can challenge dominant discourses. Media literacy and independent media can help underserved communities reclaim their narratives and actively shape cultural and social landscapes.

Independent media outlets play a pivotal role in fostering a diverse media ecosystem. Unlike mainstream media driven by commercial interests, independent media amplifies marginalized voices and explores underrepresented perspectives. This provides a space for underserved communities to share their stories, raise awareness, and challenge narratives that perpetuate their marginalization.

Youth media programs are crucial for fostering an inclusive future. Initiatives like those offered by organizations such as The LAMP (Learning About Multimedia Project) provide training in media production techniques and offer platforms for self-expression and community engagement. These programs empower underserved youth to find their voices, challenge stereotypes, and become agents of positive change.

In conclusion, investing in media literacy and independent media is essential for social change. By empowering underserved communities with the tools to critically analyze and create media content, and by providing platforms for their voices to be heard, we can drive meaningful social, political, and economic change.

Thank you so much for watching. My name is Joshua T. Berglan, some people call me the World's Mayor. I’m grateful for your support. If you’re watching on YouTube , please subscribe. Much love to you all!

The Transformative Power of Media Literacy

Understanding Media Literacy

Media literacy is the ability to critically analyze, evaluate, and create media content across various platforms. It involves developing a keen understanding of the techniques, narratives, and ideologies that shape the media landscape. By cultivating media literacy, individuals can navigate the vast sea of information with discernment, recognizing biases, challenging established narratives, and actively participating in the creation and dissemination of content.

Empowering Underserved Communities

For underserved communities, media literacy serves as a powerful tool for self-expression, advocacy, and social change. It equips individuals with the skills to critically examine the representation and portrayal of their communities in mainstream media, enabling them to challenge harmful stereotypes and promote more accurate and nuanced narratives.

Media literacy also provides a platform for underserved communities to share their stories, experiences, and perspectives, amplifying their voices and fostering greater understanding and empathy within the broader society.

Breaking Down Barriers

One of the most significant barriers faced by underserved communities is the lack of access to resources and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Media literacy initiatives can help bridge this gap by offering training programs, workshops, and mentorship opportunities that empower individuals with the necessary skills to create and disseminate their own media content.

By fostering media literacy, underserved communities can reclaim their narratives, challenge dominant discourses, and participate in shaping the cultural and social landscapes that have historically marginalized them.

The Role of Independent Media

Diversifying the Media Landscape

Independent media outlets play a pivotal role in fostering a more inclusive and diverse media ecosystem. Unlike mainstream media, which is often driven by commercial interests and beholden to corporate agendas, independent media prioritizes the amplification of marginalized voices and the exploration of underrepresented perspectives.

These alternative platforms provide a space for underserved communities to share their stories, raise awareness about pressing issues, and challenge the dominant narratives that have perpetuated their marginalization.

Giving Voice to the Voiceless

Independent media serves as a megaphone for underserved communities, amplifying their voices and shedding light on the struggles, triumphs, and lived experiences that are often overlooked or misrepresented in mainstream media. By providing a platform for these narratives, independent media contributes to a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of the diverse tapestry of society.

Fostering Community Engagement

Independent media outlets often have deep roots within the communities they serve, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement. This connection allows underserved communities to actively participate in the creation and dissemination of content, ensuring that their perspectives and stories are accurately represented.

Community-based media initiatives not only provide a platform for self-expression but also offer opportunities for skill development, capacity-building, and economic empowerment, ultimately contributing to the overall well-being and thriving of underserved communities.

Synergizing Media Literacy and Independent Media

Challenging Dominant Narratives

By combining the power of media literacy and independent media, underserved communities can effectively challenge the dominant narratives and biases that have historically marginalized them. Media literacy equips individuals with the critical thinking skills to deconstruct and analyze media content, while independent media provides alternative platforms to amplify diverse voices and perspectives.

This synergy empowers underserved communities to assert their agency, reclaim their narratives, and actively shape the cultural and social discourses that impact their lives.

Promoting Cultural Diversity

In a globalized world, celebrating and embracing cultural diversity is essential for fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Independent media outlets that prioritize underserved communities play a crucial role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage, traditions, and narratives that might otherwise be overshadowed or erased by dominant cultural forces.

By combining media literacy and independent media, underserved communities can not only preserve their cultural identities but also share them with the broader society, fostering greater understanding, appreciation, and respect for diversity.

Ultimately, the intersection of media literacy and independent media serves as a catalyst for social change. By empowering underserved communities with the tools to critically analyze and create media content, and by providing platforms for their voices to be heard, these communities can challenge systemic inequalities, advocate for their rights, and drive meaningful social, political, and economic change.

Independent media outlets and media literacy initiatives have played pivotal roles in various social movements, amplifying calls for justice, equality, and representation, and inspiring collective action towards a more equitable and just society.

Case Studies: Empowering Underserved Communities

Community Radio Initiatives

Community radio stations have emerged as powerful platforms for underserved communities to share their stories, preserve cultural traditions, and address local issues. These grassroots initiatives not only provide a voice for marginalized groups but also offer opportunities for skill development, media production training, and community engagement.

One notable example is the Koahnic Broadcast Corporation in Alaska, which serves indigenous communities by broadcasting in Native languages and promoting cultural preservation efforts. By combining media literacy education with community radio programming, these initiatives empower underserved communities to reclaim their narratives and assert their cultural identities.

Participatory Video Projects

Participatory video projects have gained traction as a powerful tool for empowering underserved communities. These initiatives involve training community members in video production techniques, enabling them to document their lived experiences, share their perspectives, and advocate for their rights and needs.

organizations such as InsightShare, have facilitated participatory video projects in various parts of the world, allowing marginalized communities to amplify their voices and drive social change. By combining media literacy skills with video production, these projects foster self-expression, community empowerment, and grassroots advocacy.

Youth Media Programs

Investing in the media literacy and creative potential of youth from underserved communities is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and equitable future. Youth media programs, such as those offered by organizations like The LAMP (Learning About Multimedia Project), provide hands-on training in various media production techniques, including video, audio, and digital storytelling.

These initiatives not only equip young people with valuable skills but also offer a platform for self-expression, personal growth, and community engagement. By combining media literacy education with creative outlets, these programs empower underserved youth to find their voices, challenge stereotypes, and become agents of positive change within their communities.

Conclusion

In an increasingly media-saturated world, the synergy between media literacy and independent media offers a powerful catalyst for empowering underserved communities. By fostering critical thinking skills and providing alternative platforms for self-expression, these intertwined concepts challenge dominant narratives, amplify marginalized voices, and drive meaningful social change.

As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, embracing media literacy and supporting independent media initiatives will be crucial in creating a more inclusive, equitable, and thriving society. By empowering underserved communities with the tools and platforms to share their stories, celebrate their cultures, and advocate for their rights, we can collectively build a world where every voice is heard and every perspective is valued.

Together, we can harness the transformative power of media literacy and independent media to create a more just, diverse, and vibrant future for all.

However, gene editing also presents a set of challenges and ethical dilemmas. Issues such as informed consent, genetic privacy, unintended consequences, and societal impacts must be carefully considered. Despite its precision, gene editing techniques may lead to unintended genetic changes or off-target mutations, raising concerns about potential long-term effects. The accessibility and affordability of gene editing technologies could also contribute to inequalities in healthcare, education, and social opportunities.

The Moral Implications of Gene Editing

Discussions surrounding the moral implications of gene editing touch on concepts such as human dignity, the sanctity of life, and potential commodification of genetic information. Considerations of fairness, distributive justice, and the impact on marginalized communities are crucial in developing ethical frameworks for the responsible use of this technology. Balancing individual rights with societal interests, cultural norms, and international regulations is key in addressing the moral complexities surrounding gene editing.

In Conclusion

As we navigate the evolving landscape of gene editing, continued dialogue and collaboration among various stakeholders are essential to ensure the ethical implementation and regulation of this powerful technology.

The Future of Humanity: Balancing Technological Advancements and Human Connection

joshuaberglan@gmail.com (Joshua Berglan) — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 21:46:06 GMT

The Future of Humanity: Balancing Technological Advancements and Human Connection

As humanity strides into the future, it's confronted with the colossal

task of balancing the rapid pace of technological advancements with

the innate need for human connection. This broadcast delves into the

multifaceted aspects of this balance, exploring the benefits and

drawbacks that the digital age presents to our societal fabric, mental

health, and the very essence of what it means to be human.

1. The Importance of Maintaining Genuine Human Connection

In an era where digital interactions often replace face-to-face

connections, the value of genuine human relationships has never been

more critical. While technology facilitates convenience and broadens

our networks, it can also lead to a sense of isolation and

superficiality in relationships. Positive aspects include the ability

to maintain long-distance relationships and connect with like-minded

individuals worldwide. Conversely, there's a risk that these digital

connections might lack the depth and emotional satisfaction derived

from in-person interactions, potentially leading to feelings of

loneliness and disconnection.

2. The Impact of Technology on Mental Health

Technology's influence on mental health is a double-edged sword. On

one hand, it offers access to mental health resources, support

communities, and tools for managing well-being. On the other hand,

excessive screen time and social media use have been linked to

increased anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. The key lies in

finding a balance, using technology as a tool for support rather than

a substitute for real-world interactions.

3. The Role of Media in Shaping Public Opinion

Media organizations wield significant power in shaping societal views.

With the responsibility to inform the public comes the challenge of

providing accurate, unbiased information amidst the temptation to

sensationalize for viewership or adhere to ideological biases. The

positive aspect is the democratization of information, offering

diverse viewpoints and fostering informed public discourse. The

challenge, however, is in discerning fact from opinion and navigating

the proliferation of misinformation, which can polarize societies and

erode trust in media institutions.

4. Challenges and Opportunities of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents unprecedented opportunities for

efficiency, innovation, and solving complex problems. Its applications

span healthcare, education, and environmental conservation, among

others. However, the rise of AI also poses challenges, including job

displacement, ethical concerns, and the potential for misuse.

Balancing AI's benefits while mitigating its risks requires thoughtful

regulation and a focus on human-centric AI development.

5. The Importance of Empathy and Understanding

In a world increasingly fragmented by political and social divides,

empathy and understanding are crucial for bridging gaps and fostering

unity. Technology can both aid and hinder this process. Social media

platforms can expose individuals to diverse perspectives, promoting

empathy. However, they can also become echo chambers, reinforcing

prejudices. Promoting empathy in digital spaces and encouraging

constructive, respectful dialogue is essential for a cohesive society.

6. The Role of Faith and Spirituality

For many, faith and spirituality offer a compass through the

complexities of modern life, providing a sense of purpose, community,

and resilience. In a technologically dominated world, these elements

remind individuals of the intangible aspects of existence that provide

meaning beyond material success and scientific understanding.

Balancing technological progress with spiritual values can guide

ethical decision-making and foster a sense of interconnectedness and

responsibility towards the greater good.

7. Addressing Global Challenges Through Collaboration

Global issues like climate change, poverty, and inequality demand

collective action. Technology plays a pivotal role in raising

awareness, facilitating collaboration, and developing solutions.

However, achieving meaningful progress requires transcending

political, cultural, and socioeconomic divides to unite in common

cause. Open dialogue, mutual respect, and shared responsibility are

key to harnessing technology's potential for global betterment.

8. Personal Growth and Self-Discovery

In the pursuit of a fulfilling life, personal growth and

self-discovery are paramount. Technological advancements offer tools

for learning, self-expression, and exploration. However, the

relentless pace of innovation and societal pressure to keep up can

detract from self-reflection and the pursuit of personal passions.

Balancing ambition with contentment, and embracing the journey of

self-discovery in a constantly evolving world, is a challenge worth

undertaking.

9. Emerging Technologies for Health and Well-being

Technologies like Rife machines and Genostim promise to revolutionize

health and well-being, offering non-invasive treatments and

personalized medicine. While the potential benefits are immense,

including improved quality of life and longevity, skepticism and

regulatory challenges remain. Balancing optimism for new technologies

with rigorous scientific validation and ethical considerations is

essential to fully realize their potential.

10. Staying Informed and Engaged

In a rapidly changing world, staying informed and engaged is crucial.

Technology offers unparalleled access to information and platforms for

civic engagement. However, it's equally important to cultivate

critical thinking, discernment, and a balanced perspective. Engaging

with the world's complexities while maintaining personal well-being

requires mindfulness and the intentional use of technology as a tool

for positive impact.

Conclusion

As we navigate the future, the balance between technological

advancements and human connection emerges as a central theme in

shaping a world that honors both progress and the timeless value of

human touch. By fostering dialogue, empathy, and ethical

consideration, we can harness technology's potential while staying

grounded in the principles that make us fundamentally human.
