Do you ever have days where everything is mundane, but it’s alright? I’m all about making time count, and not counting time, but days where absolutely nothing exciting happens, make me look forward to my head hitting our “luxury” pillows. Today was dragging on, but it’s over now and tomorrow is a new beautiful day.

One week ago today I self-surrendered to federal prison. It was surreal, to say the least. Sometimes it feels like I’ve been here for months, and other times it feels like I stepped inside this place yesterday. It wasn’t as scary as I expected it to be. The colorless block walls, steel doors and reverberating […]

I finished my release plan today. Very excited to upload it for everyone after my second team, and very grateful to those how helped and guided me. Not only does this help me show my superiors where I stand today and where I plan to go, but I can use it to hold myself accountable. […]
Melinda Bixler-08/28/2023-Bucket List
Bucket List: I never had a bucket list until this week. I guess I had a mental wish list, but nothing written down. I’m not sure why not. When faced with an impromptu thrill I usually enjoy it; however, I never gave much thought to actually planning for it. That’s changed! A few weeks before […]
