Why I'm Back

 


It feels strange to be writing here again.

When I looked at the date of my last blog post, I realized just how much time had passed. Life became busy, priorities changed, and somehow writing slowly moved to the background. Not because I stopped loving it, but because other things demanded my attention.

Yet this blog never really left me.

Over the years, I have written hundreds of articles here. Some are personal, some are about lifestyle, some reflect who I was at a certain moment in my life. I thought about removing them and starting over, but I decided not to.

Those articles are part of my journey.

They show where I have been, how I have grown, and how much life can change over time. Keeping them feels more honest than pretending they never existed.

The truth is that I have missed writing.

I have missed having a place where I can share my thoughts, experiences and everyday moments. A place that belongs to me.

So what can you expect from this blog going forward?

A little bit of everything that matters to me.

I want to write about personal growth, health, fitness, travel, daily life, new adventures and the process of creating a life that feels meaningful. I want to share the highs, the challenges and the lessons I learn along the way.

One of my biggest goals right now is becoming healthier and stronger. I am working on improving my lifestyle, becoming more active and taking better care of myself. I also have exciting plans ahead, including spending time in Morocco later this year.

Most importantly, I want this blog to feel real.

Not perfect.
Not filtered.
Just real.

If you have been reading this blog for years, thank you for staying. And if you are new here, welcome.

This is not the beginning of the story.

It is simply a new chapter.

And I am excited to see where it leads.

Love,

Shavida

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

Image
NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
