Hellcat's Guide to Nirvana
A deeply satisfied person changing people's lives, that is what I always aspired to be. A reckless, venomous, destructive and self-sabotaging victim, is what my belief system unveiled to me at every turn, and around every corner. It was reflected back to me in every mirror, this was my reality.

The Bottom Half Doesn't Matter
I've become lazy. So incredibly lazy. In many ways, this is understandable. Without the added impetus of socializing, or having to commute to work, or... well, anything else, really, days merge into each other. In fact, without consulting my phone, I'm not always sure what day it actually is.

The Day I Got Thrown The Chair
JD is a consummate professional. By the time I began training with him he had already trained naval rescue swimmers for over 20 years. His wife is a former coach of the New Zealand Olympic swim team. He had once nearly failed inspection in Hawaii. A young man had succumbed to a shallow water blackout, which is very common during the early phases of hypoxic drills in preparation for free dive training. The revival is usually simple.

The new beginning
Being a young individual in a foreign country is not as easy as someone would think. Having no one for support, is easy to get lost in the thought that you are all alone. It feels like you are trapped, you try to escape but it is useless. I guess the only thing you can really do is just sit down and let all those emotions overpower. You have to think of who you are and what you have become. Do not get distracted of useless things, but instead think of yourself. Think of all the things that are taking place and try to understand that all that is happening is happening for a reason. Life can be difficult but you are here to learn and grow. Those difficult moments that you see unfolding in front of your eyes are just memories of the past.

The Secret to Manifesting Money
Our world is plentiful. There is plenty of food, plenty of money, plenty of love, joy, and wealth all around us. There is plenty to go around in this world many times over, it is simply distributed unevenly. If you were to take all the money on the entire planet and distribute it evenly to every man, woman, and child- within a few short months-the same "uneven distribution" would surface.

F*ck the Trolls
The first ever short story I wrote was shortlisted for a prize. I didn't even know what "shortlisted" meant! I had been writing my fashion and lifestyle blog for years, which had attracted the attention of some online and print publications, so I knew I could write, but my career was built around critical pieces about copycat designers and the colorism of the Carnival industry in Caribbean. The closest I had ever gotten to a short story before this, was a notebook my best friend and I wrote in when we were in high school. We each alternated writing chapter by chapter, a story of this girl who falls in love with a boy-band popstar at summer camp. Our classmates lined up to rent the book for half hour intervals during the lunch break. It was an unrealistic racy story of these young teenagers sneaking off to get frisky every second-- puberty porn if you must. Some twenty years later, a client of mine sent me details for a short story competition, saying she thought I would be great for it. I had never even read a short story at that point, but there was small prize money, and it was for Caribbean-Americans (my niche) so I thought it might be good out-of-the-box writing practice. I never expected to get as far as a long list, far less a short list! And when I read my story at the award ceremony, people rolled with laughter at my quirky characters; two young kids trying to steal a pack of nuts from their mom's workplace. The next year I entered the competition again, and I won first place!

My first place.
A need for independence After breaking up with my last boyfriend I had this need to do something. I was not sure if it was something big or just something that was for me alone since I put so much effort into him. I finally realized I could move out on my own. This was a little daunting since I knew I would need to live alone but exhilarating at the same time. I would, for the first time in my life, be living alone. Being in my late twenties, about to enter my thirties, it felt like this was just the perfect time. Without thinking too much about it, I found my current place and moved out within in a month. It felt amazing to be on my own finally, but I did not realize how much work it would be or the feeling of loneliness that would come with it.

Law Of Attraction Success Story From a Family Member
"My PC had an infection and I didn't have a clue what to do – I was unable to try and run hostile to infection programming. So I loose and requested direction… It was intriguing that in spite of the fact that I'm mindful of the Law of Fascination lessons that when it came to something which I utilize such a lot of not working, I didn't feel extremely cheerful about a fast arrangement. I began attempting to sort out some way to fix it and found on the web posts of others who had a comparative issue and everything looked exceptionally convoluted to determine. I chose to turn the PC off and to disappear and reflect. Subsequent to ruminating I contemplated how this event caused me to feel and I understood it was an inclination of being enduring an onslaught. I pondered what the contrary feeling was and thought of feeling adored and took care of. I started to do a Zeroing in Cycle on the sensation of being cherished and cared for. In the wake of finishing this I got back to my PC and was guided to do a pursuit on the most proficient method to determine the issue. I found a YouTube cut with clear guidelines and I followed them and my PC was wonderful once more. I love the way anything can be changed when our contemplations and sentiments change."
