It takes a village to raise a family; advice and tips to make the most of yours.
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!

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.

Invisible Is'ims. Sexism, Racism, Nepotism...
Racism and the "N" word. I was ten years old when I said the N-word for the first time. I was in 4th grade, and Mrs. Bridges was my teacher. She was a real hard ass and never listened to me or much of my valid complaints, but that's another story. I was your typical sticks and bones white kid, living out in the boonies. I thought I was "normal". Turns out, things got a lot more abnormal as I grew up, and then I started discovering all the abnormal that had always existed. I just didn't know what it was, until then.

Simpler Times
Something I miss are the simpler times in life. The times where my brother, Jessie, and I would had mud fights in the front yard, or when we would go on spider hunts and tape spiders to the wall for fun - because what five year olds weren't a little psycho. The simpler time in my life where I only had to worry about what the weather was going to be like the next day, or what I was going to eat for lunch. Or the times in my life where I was so happy and loving life that I didn’t let anything get me down except when my parents wouldn’t let me go out on a school night.
