Humanity begins at home.
How I broke the cycle of abuse aged 25.
When I was twelve I had a sleep over at my friends house and her Mom gave us biscuits and painted our nails whilst we watched a film. I sobbed because I wanted a Mom like that. I wanted warm hugs and sympathetic eyes, I wanted to feel loved and valued.

Taxi Ride
June 1972, Tokyo. I can’t believe I overslept. Moving day. Of all days to oversleep! Transient beings that we are, we all move, right? But concern for my personal well-being and safety these last few months prompted my move. I spent this week at the Tanabe’s in Harajuku. I glance at the wristwatch from my dad. Time. Will I be able to make it there ON TIME?

The Pink Elephant in the Room
The working world has drastically changed since the last time I was a member of the traditional 8 to 5 scene over ten years ago. I had no idea that when I quit to raise my kids that it would be the end of my career in human resources - permanently. What was supposed to only be a break from working full-time to raise my children for a few years, while my husband (now ex) worked to pay the bills, became a lifelong journey of self-discovery full of plot twists and crazy turns, including an unexpected divorce.

The Old Man's Mine
When he got out of his bed, the cold of the North Sea cottage invaded everything. When the wool was pulled off, the warm bed chilled, and he had to move fast. With the customary sigh he began his day covered from head to toe. Not just when he went to sleep, but all the time. Head with the ever-present beanie (even when sleeping), toes with a double pair of wool socks (also when sleeping), underclothes from the wool under-sweater to the wool over-sweater, and lastly his inside tweed jacket. And shoes, always shoes for the tamped earth below that reminded him he was alive.

What specifically makes LeanBelly 3X the best supplement of its kind
While there are 28 different CLA types (or, isomers), in nature, the most important isomer is cis-9, trans-11 (c9,t11). When it comes to a toning supplement, however, there are two isomers critical for maximum effectiveness and benefits. Both the c9,t11 isomer mentioned and the trans-10, cis-12 (t10,c12) isomer, and both need to be provided in equal amounts to experience the synergistic effects that contribute to provide CLA benefits.†

Violent Motivation
All my life there had been this ache inside of me for love I’d never received from my father. How on Earth was it possible that the man who was partially responsible for my existence wanted virtually nothing to do with me? In the beginning as a little girl I would write letters to him with nowhere to send them. I begged for my father to love me on paper he would never see. As I got older, I built a wall of protection around my heart. I'd act like none of it bothered me. I’d talk down on him, constantly saying how much I couldn't care less if he descended off the face of the Earth. Deep down though, I cared so much.

Does Dr. Dre have Bulletproof Wallets?
It appears as though super producer and hip hop legend Dr. Dre is living his best life after his divorce from Nicole Young. She, on the other hand, is currently down to a mere million dollars to her name after paying her attorney fees. This is probably why she’s coming after Dre’s money again, after discovering he’s burned through seven million dollars in only five months.

Finding Lizzy
As I talk to others about my story, I find that almost everyone I know has secrets in their family. Hidden tales of sordid affairs, children born out of wedlock, sexual proclivities that were looked down upon in a time when being yourself was just not possible and one of the worst stigmas of all, which still exists today, mental illness.

Leaving Gifts To Charity in a Will
Leaving gifts to charity is a gratifying way to give back after your death while also potentially benefiting from tax relief on the final value of your estate. There are so many reasons to donate to charity in your will. It costs you nothing now, it is a great way to give back, and it is probably the most significant donation you will ever be able to make.
