Risk It

Hello Listserve recipients,

I hope this message finds you well. I've been receiving and enjoying Listserve emails for quite sometime and believe things happen for a reason. I expected the "It's your turn" email to come at an unexpected time and it did.

I am a 27 year old male from Chicago, IL; where I work as a web developer. Most of my days are spent practicing programming and everyday provides a new learning experience. Today's technology continues to advance at a rapid pace and I believe most anything is possible.

This email was drafted in Japan; where I'll be celebrating New Year's with a dear friend. I am grateful to be here and wish everyone has a safe and happy new year.

I feel like my time is running out for this email; being in a different time zone with limited access to Internet. So I'll end with this advice; embrace yourself and focus on what makes you happy. Loving anything else is easier when you have peace in yourself. The world is ever changing, but living is less difficult when you have something to wake up for everyday.


Cheers,
Adan

21,612 is a lot

Hi, everyone. I'm a teenaged girl. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know much about the world. I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I struggle every day trying to see into the future: into what might be, where I might go. Recently I've decided that my destiny in life is to be a high-school biology teacher, but ask me again later and perhaps that will have changed. One thing I feel passionate about is body modification. Somehow my standards of beauty have developed in a way that put piercings, tattoos, implants and scarification at the forefront. However, my parents have threatened to cut off their funding for my education if I modify myself in any way. I already have piercings, and though my family will never see them due to their private locations, I would love to be able to share this important part of my life with them and express myself through modification in a more public way. Essentially, they have rejected my lifestyle, and through this, they have

Tiny wings

Hi all, I want to write about a subject that is very close to my heart - bees! I started bee keeping last year, and have two colonies right now. These two already managed to supply my family and my friends with more than enough honey, and keeping the bees is a tremendously satisfying activity. They smell so good, and are very tidy animals, and are just very, very interesting overall. The insects' way of dealing with the world is just so very different from how we as mammals approach it - it seems almost alien. Anyways, what is probably most impressive is the workload these little animals deal with. For one kilo of honey, they visit 4 million flowers, and fly a distance equivalent of more than 4 times around the earth. Think about that for a second. And then, if you start to think about how they "furniture" their housing themselves by the wax they sweat out, how they can control temperature inside the hive to the tenth of a degree, how they collectively make decisions i
