Quietly Screaming Help
It is never easy to admit when you need help but admittance is the first step to find people to help you with whatever the problem is; it is as simple as a passing look in someone's direction or just coming out and saying there’s a problem you need help with. It won’t make you less of a person to open up about what is bothering you; the strongest thing a person can do is admit they are weak in some areas, you admitting this can cause others to open up and admit it too. There are so many places you can go for help that it makes no sense for anyone to feel like they are alone and have no one they can talk to about any and everything. I can attest to feeling I have no one to talk to about certain things, and most of the time I try to fix what ever it is that I know needs fixing on my own, no matter how big it gets or how out of control it gets. We all have things that we need to get some help for and we all have things that no matter what goes on we will try to keep to ourselves.

Caring for Your Skin Type
I have personally struggled with my skin and taking care of it properly. I had oily skin, blotchy red patches, and uneven skin tone. Finding out the right thing to do for your skin is difficult. Especially when there are so many products that do different things.

The Importance of Self
There is nothing more important than ones self; it is something that is constant need of love, care, and attention; and something that most people tend to neglect at times because they don’t understand how important it really is. We get so busy with life that we forget that our body, mind, and soul are in constant need of upkeep and attention, because if we forget about our own needs, we stop existing. Life is very important but if we forget that we need take care of ourselves, then nothing really matters because we won’t have a life in the coming future. The importance one's self carries is greater than anything in the world that could be going on; its like the saying goes, you can’t love others until you learn to love yourself, this is true.

The Impact of Thoughts
Thoughts have a huge impact on the way we see the world and the way we interact with the people around us; we create feelings and emotions from the things that we remember from our distant and immediate past. I can attest to power of thoughts because I’ve seen the good and the bad that it can cause; like superstition it can only take effect if you give it permission to take effect. There have been so many times that I have let my thoughts get the best of me and ruin something that I was working to fix, not only about myself but about the environment around me. Thoughts have a psychological effect on you that can manifest itself into something physical if you are not careful, this is as little as a head ache or as big as thinking you have a disease that you clearly don’t have. I know so many people who let their thought make them feel a certain way and act a certain way; this causes them to treat the people around them poorly.

Inner Bonding
I recently discovered Margaret Paul's Inner Bonding: Becoming a Loving Parent to Your Inner Child. I have not read the book yet but plan to now, especially after watching her speak on the process of inner bonding and its role in easing the negative feelings coming from abandonment.

Hopeless Ro-maniac
A quote that feels salient now is one of the late Heather Heyer made famous. "If you're not outraged you're not paying attention," the woman slain in the act of domestic terror a few weeks ago said. Emotionally, it seems as if people take life day-to-day cringing and waiting for the doom, whether it's family drama, political drama etc. The worst part is the anticipation, you are waiting pressured, stressed, tossing and turning in bed at night from the uncertainty. This deducts years from lives, makes children cry to their parents at night wondering if the person that calls themselves the president is going to have them deported, have them arrested, have them forced and abused by armed cops.

What is VitaFive and Why Should You Join the Movement?
If you are anything like me, taking vitamins and pills doesn't come easy. It's hard to put myself on a pill regimen and I don't exactly remember to take them at the scheduled time. However, thanks to two entrepreneurs, the vitamin industry is changing, and it's changing for the better.

Dream Child
Around mid-July I was listening to the radio, just cruising in my red truck, with my radio blasted on an average day to work. My ears were suddenly perked up by a story I began to listen very intently to on WM-PR. This was the story of a woman whose name was Tanya. In my mind I imagined her as woman who had ruffled, short, Jet-black, and spiky hair. She wore a leather jacket and a crop band tee-shirt along with stone-washed, ripped jeans.It wasn't so much the punk-rocker image as much as the angry glare on her face and the craving for darkness that stuck out to me. As she began to evolve to me I fell deeply into her story, I fell in love with this image that so accurately described me seven years ago; I was tough,and I was hardened. My heart was impenetrable and I loved only as deeply as I could feel; which wasn't much more than a paper cut. I became quiet, dark, angry, fiercely introverted and deep into myself. I understood Tanya, and the pain she felt. Tanya had a rough childhood, she had been abused, unloved,and no one could reach beyond the dark tower that she had built around her heart. For a person who loved words and connecting with people, I became the opposite for many years; a person who could only connect with my demons.
