A Pandemic Thanksgiving - Afterthoughts
* Please note: This piece ended up being written over a few weeks. I've been to my doctor, and apparently, our province doesn't actually have a permanent medical exemption for the vaccination. I have valid health concerns, not just gleaned from all the hype. I could be granted a temporary exemption, but the hoops that I am expected to jump through to maintain that status place me at far greater risk of being exposed to Covid 19. Therefore, I will have to continue keeping myself segregated from mainstream society.

INDIA IS MOVING TOWARDS ONLINE LEGAL ADVICE; HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD TOO!
Online consultation of medical professionals grew by 500%, i.e., over 4 Billion in the year 2021. Although not as scalable, online legal advice had its share of growth too. Online Legal consultation has restricted scalability up until now, primarily because of its rigidity. However, a number of start-ups have attempted to bridge this gap and are doing a fairly good job. Rest The Case is one of them.

Why Can't I Find What I'm Looking For?
I’ve noticed that in today’s society there are so many men who complain about women who don’t cook or clean. This forced me to think of how society has changed as a whole for years past. I see quite a few reasons for this change in how we are today and how our relatives lived their lives once upon a time. Go with me a little bit on this and see if you agree.

Things I Wish I Knew
Here is another teaser to get you excited about my new book! Things I Wish I Knew Everyone has assumptions before they become parents. I am no different. I saw how other children acted in public and swore mine wouldn’t do that. I watched parents discipline their children, shocked and swore I would raise my children better.

For The Love Of Christ Stop Glorifying The Struggles Of Parenthood
“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.”― Debra Ginsberg

THE LAST EULOGY
It was a very familiar neighborhood where everybody virtually knows everybody. The street was a mini-commercial zone with side street vendors, kiosks, and stalls lined on both sides of the road. Happy villagers patronize the merchants with bright smiles that betrayed their love for life and peace they enjoyed amidst poverty and wants. Ever since the troop arrived a year earlier, the people had enjoyed relative peace and the constant harassment of the locals by the Taliban had completely ceased. The people loved their new friends from America but they still felt and see their presence as an occupation. Nina was different, for she had already perceived intuitively that the Americans were of good intention and had come with the new gospel of freedom and human right to Afghanistan. She fraternized and had befriended Sergeant Smith who visited their provision stall regularly where she helped her sick dad as a shop attendant. She could have been given out for marriage a long time ago, but as the only daughter with aged and ill parents, they decided to keep her for a while for assistance. Luckily, Smith came and the friendship had evolved into a relationship. At seventeen, Nina actually looked more mature than her age and had assured Smith that she was willing to elope with him to the US whenever he was ready. She was willing to elope because the consent to marry an infidel was unlikely to come from neither her parents nor relatives who were entrenched in their Islamic culture and faith.

The Art Of Deep Listening
Human nature has remained virtually unchanged for the past hundred thousand years. How humbling to consider that what is cognitively true of our ancestors — who had knowledge of astronomy as the correct frame of reference for planetary motion and we had to learn it all over again.

The Day Everything Changed
This is in memory of my mom, Katelynn (my sister), Diana, Bobby, and Lori. This book would not happen without the support of my sisters Rebecca, and Audrey, or without two of my English teachers who told me I could write a narrative essay on this and I knew then I could turn it into a story, I want to thank you for your help and support. After writing my story I knew that I could turn it into a book!

A Way to Lead a happy Family with Great Advice
Living in today’s metropolitan world of cellular phones, mobile computers and other high-tech gadgets is not just hectic but very impersonal. We make money and then invest our time and effort in making more money. Does it end? Not usually because we are never satisfied. How many times have we convinced ourselves that if only we had some more money, life would be so sweet? But then, after receiving a substantial raise, we realize that it wasn’t enough and that we need more?

Be The Parent That Yor Parents Were Not — Breaking The Cycle
Not everyone grew up in an ideal home with loving parents who put them first. Not everyone had a mum and dad who kissed them every night before bed, cooked them healthy meals, and strived to ensure they were happy. And not everyone can look back on their childhood and feel joy and peace from it. In fact, many may still be to this day actively trying to block out those memories as they spark too much pain.
