Daughter Lost. Top Story - August 2017.
When I found out I was pregnant with my now 12 year old daughter Hannah I was overjoyed. Her father and I didn't have a lot of money and were concerned about how we would care for her. I also already had another child from a previous relationship.

Beauty Trends: Selfies are Driving Women to Plastic Surgery
People want to look good, and that is okay, but this is getting harder to do online. A little airbrushing or a few filters can make a person look great in a selfie, but it is having a side effect that some might not have predicted. It seems more and more women are looking to have some facial plastic surgery done to perfect that flattering and ageless look.

How Narcissists Are Created
Narcissists are among the most despised people on the planet. While other dysfunctional personalities evoke sympathy in people, pathological narcissists do not. People often feel pity for the narcissistic personality at first — especially if the narcissist presents themselves as a helpless victim, as many narcissists will — but this is usually very short-lived because narcissists are so terribly controlling, abusive and hateful. It is impossible to feel pity or sympathy for a person who works so hard to hurt others. In fact, narcissists sometimes seem compelled to hurt only those who care about them, rendering people literally unable to feel any sympathy for them at all.

Locket
Locket is the monster in my closet, the voice in my head. In the morning I see her slinking around the door, the door I had shut before going to sleep. She hops on the bed and sits on my chest, a familiar, almost constant weight that steals my breath. I tell her, "Good morning," and pretend that she’s not killing me.

The Toxins We Feed Our Body
Our body is a temple and what we put into our temple ultimately determines our quality of life. But, this isn't just true when it comes to the food we eat but also what we feed our minds and spirit and that's what this piece represents. On one end we have the daily toxins we absorb through processed foods, unsafe prescription drugs, and social media. These are the things that break our mind, body, and spirit down over time the more we indulge in them which eventually dim our lives. And the freighting part is we aren’t always aware of what seems bad at first. Prescription drugs in moderation can help us feel better, social media in moderation can help us keep in contact with family and friends but even simple things like this can become toxic if we over indulge and aren’t mindful on how they can impact our lives.
