Not even I can be quite sure where this post is going. But, I'll start by sharing this ...
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Martin Niemoller
This quote was the first thing that popped into my mind earlier, after visiting the blog of my friend, John. You see, John is the adoptive father of two wonderful boys, who are also special needs children. Those boys are his world! I love stopping by his blog and reading about the latest funny antics of the boys, or watching a nice video of one of their great trips. I share John's frustration when he seems to hit roadblock after roadblock, with the public school system, while trying to ensure a good education for his sons. I laugh out loud (for real), when reading some of the hilarious stories that John has to tell. His blog is one of my absolute favorites. Mostly because he is so real. He tells everything like it is and just how he sees it.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I forget to mention that John is also GAY. Ooooooh, it's looks even scarier when I put it in big letters, doesn't it?? Now, ask me if I have a problem with that. The answer is a big NO! However, it seems that some folks DO have a problem with that. How do I know this? Well, when John came straight out and asked them why they had rejected his ads on Entrecard, they told him that it is because he is gay. They went on to say that his blog doesn't reflect their Christian values. Reason number one that I take issue. It has always been my understanding that, true Christians are to embrace everyone, EVERYONE, show them how wonderful God is, the power of his love, etc... Not ostracise them. My point is, you don't have to agree with someone or they don't have to live exactly the way you do, for you to be accepting of them. So, if you have a problem with the fact that someone is gay, say that. But please don't say that and use Christianity as an excuse for it.
I lost a follower last week. I thought it was because I said a bad word LOL After reading John's post and seeing the list of those who rejected him, I realized who it was. And, if you will look in my right sidebar, at the banners displayed there, you will also see why. There, big as life, is John's banner ad, with the word "GAY" right there on it. I just want to say that, if you aren't a reader of John's blog, you are really missing out on some wonderful stuff! I also wanted to make sure that everyone also knows that I am a GAY FRIENDLY BLOGGER. That doesn't mean that I am a follower of all blogs written by or about gay people. It does mean that I base my opinion on the actual content of a blog and not on the sexual orientation of the author. So, if that changes your opinion of me, or my blog, nows your chance to run...
This whole mess got me to thinking about other stuff that might make following me be considered to be in poor taste. So, just to be fair to you all, here's the lowdown...
1. I have an eyebrow piercing, a belly button piercing, two piercings in my left ear, and only one in my right. I do show respect and remove all but an earring in each ear, for church, baptisms, funerals, and PTO meetings.
2. I like ICP. If you don't know who they are, I won't go into detail. If you do, you're probably high fiving the computer screen right now.
3. I can't even remember what my original hair color used to be. Right now, I am a blond. Next week, my hair will probably be cherry red.
4. I was a teenage mother. I got pregnant at 15 and gave birth to Renni when I was 16. I did the stupid thing and married her father. I had another baby, Cota, at age 17.
5. I dropped out of high school. Mostly because I missed my baby so much each day. Partly because I breast fed and there was no good location to pump my milk at the school and so my boobs hurt excruciatingly bad each day. I did go back 4 years later and get my GED.
6. I have been married three times.
7. I once had a torrid love affair ( NOT while I was married) with a man that I met online. He was a very successful businessman from the Netherlands. He did visit me here in the States some. I was afraid of flying and so I never went to the Netherlands. He sent me a couple thousand dollars each month and loads of gifts. Was I a "kept" woman? (gasp!) We were very in love and spent hours on the phone, when we were apart. We were to be married but it didn't work out. Mostly because he had so many obligations there and I had so many obligations here. I really loved his accent and the way he would get confused with English and say silly things. He once said, " I love your horny eyes..." He meant to say "bedroom eyes". Once he told me, "You look so sexy, eating chicken..." Just melted my heart... (sigh) I was completely heartbroken and couldn't leave my bed for 2 whole weeks, after we decided to end things. I cried till my eyes were swollen shut and I had lost my voice. I still miss him sometimes.
8. My husband is much older than me. I love him. However, the age difference is an issue at times and he really pisses me off. Then, I blog about it.
9. When I watch Jerry Springer, it reminds me to call my Mama. Just kidding! But really, I did grow up very poor, in the midst of a bunch of back woods lunatics. I never even tasted real butter or ate Pizza from a restaurant, until I was a grown woman. I still turned out pretty OK. I think.
10. I don't watch soap operas but I do watch Trailer Park Boys. Mostly because I have lived in a lot of trailer parks in my life and so I can relate. Plus, the show is hilarious...
11. I say bad words.
12. I am a clutter bug.
13. I never iron. EVER. I just try to get things folded and put away, while they're still warm from the dryer.
I could go on and on. Just know that I do my level best to be who I am, who I really am, in my blog. I try not to put on a show for anyone and I appreciate other bloggers that do the same. I LOVE to have followers, but I only want folks to follow me if they are genuinely interested in my life and what I have to say. I don't ever want to feel as though I might need to walk on eggshells, just to keep followers. And I surely would never betray my friends, just so I could have a popular blog.

New Policies and The E-Learning Center
When the form are completed and pass cyber security, potential program host will then be assigned to the E-Learning Center for courses on how to broadcast on the MCR stream. A sound recording of your commercial is to be sent to the MCR Studio to be placed in the MCR Library for upcoming release. Once the potential host has at the minimum of five episodes in the Library and upcoming launch date will then be placed on the stream.
If the show is to be a live show or a pre-recorded show will be determined by what was indicated on the form. The potential will be allowed to change the matrix only before the courses are complete after the training there can be no changing the matrix.
Potential host must pass the courses with at least 80% or will not be allowed to broadcast on the MCR stream.
For those individuals that have the potential to become Station Managers there will be separate courses on how to run a Station.
The E-Learning Center doesn't replace MCR-Global Support in any way but will hopefully diminish the need to contact support for minor operator errors.
The E-Learning Center is set to launch in mid-August on this year.
Rattler Publishing and Gemini will start writing the policies next month regarding the center and the new stream.
A test of the virtual studio is scheduled to next Wednesday. It is the intent of Rattler Publishing and Gemini to have one live show that covers current events on a weekly and weekend bases. Nasrene Muhammad and Ursula Turray have not came to an agreement on the style and matrix of the program thus far.
Rattler Publishing is also moving into the next evolution of publication and redesigning the way potentials literary authors publish their works through Rattler Publishing.
Gemini is working on a summer special for first time minority subscriber to their services.
David and William will be re-configuring the MCR website, but it is unclear of they will allow the chat option on the site which will enable listeners to post comments about the program while the program is in progress. In my best guess, I believe they will hold off on the chat option because it works better with a live show because no one monitors the room during pre-recorded programs.

MCR Security
I think its important that Gemini and Rattler Publishing tighten security on the MCR platform for various reasons. There has been multiple attempts at infiltration on all levels, but the security as held. But we can't sleep now, our enemies are constantly trying to put us on the defense, a place we refused to be. By tighten security and plugging security gaps or glitches it'll keep us on the counteroffensive playing field. Also in order to improve the process of Program host and Station Managers we are creating a virtual learning center; where, after being accepted to the platform information will be readily available and you can learn at your own pace and not feel rushed. This also will re-enforce the policy of having at least four pre-recorded programs in the MCR library before final approval for broadcasting. This also alleviates the need to contact MCR management for simple issues to could be solved quicker. The T-shirts will be on the site and available for purchase soon. We're working on a working model for economic empowerment that will be the gold standard, so to speak, that will serve as the basic model to build on. Rattler Publishing stands firm with the agreement with Gemini and is committed to Melanated Community Radio.

PS4 Buy The Best Games Console from Sony PlayStation 4 Buy Shop Online
Released in December 2013, the Sony PS4 is a must have next generation games console. The PS4 is the most powerful games console ever.
The Sony Playstation 4 is not only unique for gaming but delivers a total entertainment experience, allowing you to watch films with exceptional clarity (thanks to the built-in Blu-ray optical drive), listen to your favorite music (thanks to the Sony's Music Unlimited program), surf the net (built in browser), and chat with friends and much more!
With dynamic processors and an innovative design the Sony PlayStation 4 is bigger, faster and better than any of its predecessors by far. Sony got together some of the greatest designers and minds to create a world beating console that allows users and gamers to play state of the art games, stunning graphics and all using the best cutting edge technology.
Memory & Processor
Sony claims that the performance of the PS4 is 10 times more powerful than its predecessor, the PS3. The PS4 is a serious piece of engineering. It comes with a pre-loaded single-chip processor that combines an eight core x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" CPU with a 1.84 teraflop GPU based on AMD's Radeon tech. That's backed by 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, and a 500GB mechanical hard drive (the 500GB drive is removable so you can change it to a larger driver at a later date, or update to a SSD for mind boggling performance).
For the technical minds out there the PlayStation 4 possesses a huge Processor and 8GB of memory in its system.
That's a heck of lot more than most desktop computers could ever dream of having. It fits in wonderfully with the rest of the PlayStation network and community by making use of the Cloud. All its features allow gamers to play whenever they want and however they wish.
It's not just the software that has so much dynamism but its hardware has an outstanding graphics processor and a powerful customized chip. The first thing you'll notice when playing the Sony PlayStation 4 is the smooth graphics, natural movement of characters, rich graphics and jaw dropping colors.
The PS4 is incredibly svelte, coming in at 2.8kg. The design is sleek, modern and appealing. And as you would expect from Sony, it is likely to be robust, durable and reliable piece of equipment.
Dual Shock 4 Controller
The Dual Shock 4 Controller allows the gamers to interact with its features in a way that feels so realistic. The controller has dual analogue joysticks, motion sensors, touch controls, a Share button and a built in speaker with a headphone jack. There is even a light bar on the controller that flashes LED signals in four different colors, so you can easily identify players and vital game information.
New Features on the Controller, compared to the PS3 are
- Built-in microphone
- Share Button (share screen shots and videos with the gaming community)
Massively Improved Revamped User Interface
There is a second screen feature on the Sony PlayStation 4 that allows you to use remote play or connect via other devices such as tablets, handsets and smartphones. But with the PlayStation 4 you will not be limited to playing your games right in front of the television. Why not take the PS Vita and its 5-inch screen down to your local bar, coffee shop, restaurant or library and play via the free Wi-Fi that's on offer there.
In addition the User interface allows for multi-tasking during game play, ie play & surf, or play and browse the PlayStation Store.
Remote Play
Unlock the potential of your PS Vita handheld console. With Remote Play on the PS4 box, you can extend the functionality of the PlayStation Vita system, making them ideal partners. With the PS Vita system, gamers will be able to seamlessly play a range of PS4 titles on the beautiful 5-inch display over Wi-Fi access points in a local area network.
Seamless Motion
There is very little, if any, lag time when you play games and use the features on the PlayStation 4, and this is an important feature for the more serious gamers among you.
Personalized, Curated Content
The PS4 is not just about raw gaming, it's much more than that, it has the knowhow to understand your preferences. It will learn your likes and dislikes of games genre, or games creators, thus enabling you to access content pre-loaded and ready to go on your console. Similar to social website's, gamers can view, share, obtain games related information from other gamers.
Moreover, the PlayStation 4 experience is not just about playing games and shooting up the enemy; why not watch a movie online via a Blu-Ray disc or a DVD? There is also support for the high definition factor and an analogue output with optical digital input for total connectivity.

I really and truly feel like I need to get into the wedding planning/organizing industry. No, not because I think that my wedding was particularly beautiful, but because it was 100% exactly what I wanted. What makes that so impressive, is that I had NO idea what I wanted! Let me explain..
I was never the girl who grew up dreaming about my wedding day. The most I ever really thought about it was, I wonder what my husband will look like.. Whose face will I be waking up to every morning?
As I got older and started dating, I started to believe that I didn't want to get married. That maybe I didn't even believe in the idea of it all. It seems like such a big fuss over what? Publicly announcing that you wont cheat on that person, and that you want to be with them forever? I knew from a young age that as people age, they change and are shaped by their experiences. I worried, what if you grew apart, which just seems so possible.
I met Alan and we started dating 6 months later. I still held these same beliefs. I told him that I wouldn't even entertain the idea of engagement unless I knew the guy for at least 5 years. I told Alan that I wasn't sure of marriage. He calmly understood my feelings and persisted through my bouts of anxiety when things felt too serious. I started to change. I started to realize that I wanted more out of our relationship and I couldn't imagine myself without him. I ended up even being the one to lay on the engagement pressure. He wanted to marry me, but we weren't there financially, he was in between jobs, but I thought that I would have been happy to run to a court house and not tell anyone (I shamefully always wanted a big beautiful rock, which Alan knew and wanted to give to me).
Alan proposed, 5 years exactly from the day that we met. Next came.... compromise. Ideally, I wanted to have a fun trip to Vegas and party with close friends and get hitched. Easy, breezy. No fussing with family drama and making it a fun, no stress, memorable occasion.
I'm not going to say it was easy. And it sure didn't happen over night. But we talked about our options, bought books full of ideas, read online and asked family and friends. All signs kept pointing to a local wedding with close family and friends. This irritated me, and I found myself terrified. Then I realized, I needed to figure out what about this scared me. I was afraid of having a tacky, typical, fake wedding. Ahh.. there is was. FAKE. For too much of my life, I had to suffer in silence while I was in situations that I shouldn't have had to be in, I put up with being treated so poorly and was expected to accept it and wear a smile on my face. I watched fake people with their fake possessions show off to their fake friends. For what? It was meaningless and empty, and so much of my life was filled with this. I wasn't going to continue the cycle, that isn't my life. I needed to set that fear aside, and figure out what was important to me?
1) I want to be cool as a cucumber the day of the wedding. I don't want to be stressing about details or worrying if Person A is at Location X at such and such a time. No. I wanted to be in the moment and enjoy my time with my bridesmaids before I walk down the aisle and the whirlwind of the following events took over.
2) All parents needed to be treated equal. We are both from separated parents which is a juggling act. I wanted everyone to participate at the level that they wanted, but also, no one noticeably more so than anyone else.
3) I wanted to my Grandmas to feel important, special, and loved.
4) I wanted every detail to be genuine.
5) I wanted it to be very personal. I wanted it to scream Sara and Alan. So many weddings are so generic, it could be for any bride or groom. Ours was to be no denying, ours.
These items were my ingredients for my wedding. Everything I did, I kept these in mind. This really helped me focus of positivity. With these I know that every decision I made, I would be happy at the end of the day, so long as it met these 5 criteria.
Alan and I also developed an unspoken (well, kinda spoken) rule: This day is about the TWO of us and no one else. Outside influence (and guilt trips) can be hard. I recommend recruiting a mediator of some sort if dealing with this. Honestly, stick to your guns or else you will develop resentment and have an overall shitty time.
My last tidbit of advice is this, I asked myself "Why do you want to get married?" My answers were: A. Because I want to celebrate the beginning of the next stage in my life by declaring in front of family and friends that I found someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with (vows) B. We want the legal rights (sign the documents). In preparation of potential drama, I rehearsed with myself, am I still saying my vows? Am I still signing the documents? Then that is ultimately all that matters. Everything else is extra.
Happy planning, and congratulations!
-Sara x0

New projects coming soon
Life has been difficult and somewhat hectic since my last post. This year got off on a sad note with the loss of my dad whom I love dearly. Lord knows I'm gonna miss him for he was and always will be my hero. Well I know he wouldn't want me to be all down & out so I'm trying to get my act together & put together some projects to keep me busy. I am planning on a bigger & better garden this Spring. I have a couple of good seed catalogs that came in the mail. So I'm gonna sit down with them & make a wish list to get started. Since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (Hashimotos Disease) I have had to rearrange my eating habits and watch what I eat. Will discuss all that in a later post. I also have some sewing projects in mind so stay tuned for those coming posts too. Lots of recipes, crafts, gardening and of course backyard chicken DIY projects. My flock has grown to 20 Dominique hens & 1 rooster and I have added 3 silkies as well. It's getting incubator time!!! Pin It

Willie On Wright
Matthew Cerrone at Mets Blog, writes about Willie Randolph's comments about David Wright's break out from his slump:
Willie Randolph, talking with reporters about Wright, after last night's win over the Cubs…
"It was just a matter of time. It's not surprising. He's been swinging the bat well for a while, actually. So, it's just a matter of time…He's getting on the ball better. It's really about getting good pitches to hit.
"If you guys watch the game - and I've been saying this all along – it's as as simple as getting good strikes. You see the balls he's attacking, what zone their in, and that's what I see. It kind of plays on what I said to you guys three weeks ago, that good hitters get good pitches to hit. If you're over-anxious and you're going our of your zone, and you try to do to much you make things tough for yourself. What I see is that he's getting good pitches to hit now and when he does he's taking advantage of it."

Last year was the first season for the Japanese knitwear company Butapana at COREY&CO. It was a hit. Their luxurious knits are really unlike any others I have seen. This year- ordered more !! but apparently not enough. Every piece I put out quickly disappears. Sweaters, dresses, skirts, vests are out. But scarves, leg warmers, fingerless mitts, and neck pieces are still hiding in the stock room.

text: Share Tweet Published 10 months ago on August 3, 2017 By verGe24.com Britain's longest-serving Consort, Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip has retired from public office to a rousing rendition of "For he's a Jolly Good Fellow" played by the band of the Royal Marines. Although it rained on the day, it failed to dampen the enthusiastic crowd who gathered to watch Prince Phillip, himself wearing a raincoat and a Bowler hat. Phillip, 96, who announced he was stepping down in May chose the forecourt of Buckingham Palace and a Royal Marines parade to stage his final solo act. As Captain General of the Royal Marines, he took the royal salute and inspected an honour guard to mark the finale of the 1664 Global Challenge, a series of endurance feats by marines to raise awareness of and funds for the Royal Marines Charity. Lady Myra Butter, who has known Prince Philip since childhood, told Radio 4's Today: I'm sure that he won't disappear; he will be greatly missed by everybody. He's been such a stable character in all our lives – he's always there and he's always been there for the Queen and I think we're very, very lucky to have him. Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May also congratulated the Duke on a well-deserved retirement: As he carries out his final public engagement, I thank the Duke of Edinburgh for a remarkable lifetime of service. I hope the Duke, after 22,219 solo engagements since 1952, can now enjoy a well-earned retirement!

The meeting, which would be the first between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader, will happen by May, according to South Korea's national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, who delivered the invitation to Trump after a visit by his delegation to Pyongyang earlier this week. The stunning announcement is the culmination of a diplomatic whirlwind that began with the invitation of a North Korean delegation to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Trump's decision to meet Kim, after a year in which the two have repeatedly traded insults, is a remarkable breakthrough — albeit one with uncertain consequences. The South Korean delegation, which landed in Washington, D.C. for a debriefing Thursday on the North-South talks, was careful to praise Trump's influence over the developments. Chung said the US President's "leadership" and his administration's pressure on the North Korean regime had "brought us to this juncture." White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that Trump "greatly appreciates the nice words" of the delegation and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. "He will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined. We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain." There are many details to be ironed out before the meeting could take place, including the location. The Panmunjom truce village in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), one possible venue, hosted meetings between North and South Korea in the run-up to the Winter Olympics.

Can I imagine ? As soon as the virtual shop doors opened at 10:07am, it took only 5 minutes for all available units of the new Nokia phone to be sold out. The phone sold for CNY 2,300 for the 4GB/64GB version and CNY 2,500 for the 6GB/64GB version (that's €239 and €318 respectively). There will be another batch available in about a week – on March 15 at 10:07am. Chances are that the new batch will be gone just as quickly. Of course, neither HMD nor the stores will say how many phones are in a batch. As for people not in China, we'll have to wait until April. The Nokia 7 plus is set to cost €400 in Europe (and it doesn't look like the Old Continent will get the 6GB RAM version).

The 54-year old monarch was treated at a Ambroise Paré Clinic in Paris after he had been diagnosed with an "atrial flutter". The surgery normalised the heart rhythm, and the king would be able to resume his duties without any restrictions. The photo of King Mohammed VI on the hospital bed, surrounded by relations has since leaked on the internet. A full statement from MAP read: "HM the king had on Saturday 20th January 2018 a heart rhythm disorder. The doctors of HM the King said that medical examinations carried out for this purpose revealed an atrial flutter. The ablation by radio frequency of this arrhythmia, performed today at the Ambroise Paré clinic in Paris, allowed the normalization of the heart rhythm. At the end of a rest period as prescribed by his treating physicians, HM the King will resume his normal activities without any restriction." Statement by the medical team composed of: Dr Abdelaziz Maouni, Dr Olivier Thomas, Dr Sébastien Bloc, Dr Olivier Dubourg, Dr Ali Chaib, Dr Lahcen Belyamani. The king, who heads the Muslim world's longest-serving dynasty, took office in 1999 after his father, Hassan II, died of a heart attack. The political and social stability of Morocco is closely watched by Western governments as it is the only country in North Africa where jihadist groups have failed to gain a foothold, and is an important partner against Islamist militancy in terms of intelligence-sharing. The kingdom has escaped mass uprisings such as in Egypt, Libya or other Arab countries, but protests have erupted since 2016 in some rural areas against poverty and unemployment. Morocco has averted previous protests with a combination of limited constitutional reforms, heavy policing and hefty public spending.

A Moment of Silence
I remember the day like it was yesterday as I sat on our papasan chair overwhelmed by morning sickness, every channel on the television was swarmed with the news. Like most Americans, I was afraid, afraid for all of those poor people in New York, afraid for my Uncle who worked on Wall Street, afraid for our country, afraid for the future of the little baby growing inside of me. It was a very, very devastating day. It was a day that will be remembered and studied in History Class by Adrianna and Christopher one day. Still to this day, I can't believe that it happened.
One day I will share that with Adrianna, when the time is right. A five year old little girl doesn't need to burden her sweet little heart with those ideas, those stresses, not right now. We are given the freedom to live without fear, to feel safe and secure by living in this great country and I will do my part to make sure I protect my family in the same way our future president will protect us. I totally don't like discussing politics but days like today really make you think. And that's all I'm going to say.

Extracts from this document...
In what ways do any three of these stories seem to you to be characteristic of the period in which they were written (19th Century)? In the nineteenth century the public expected the stories to have a happy ending; also they should be fair and just. This meant that in most of the stories good triumphed over evil, not surprising as Christianity was very much a part of Victorian life. This means that the writers of the time had to clearly portray the characters as either good or evil. In 'The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton' the evil character is Gabriel grub. He is portrayed as "an ill-conditioned, cross-grained, surley fellow - a morose and lonely man." This combined with the description of how he assaulted a young a boy and enjoyed it makes the reader take an immediate dislike to this character. ...read more.
Elements of this can also be seen in 'The Sea Raiders', H G Wells makes no secret that these creatures are evil as in the first encounter he uses many adjectives to give this impression. "Ghastly, unpleasant, grotesque and evil" Just a few of the words that let us know that the creatures are sinister. In 'The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton' Dickens later puts a large amount of sentimental text into the story. The vision of the perfect family affected by the death of a small baby. This is simply to move the reader and turn them against Gabriel Grub. "The children gathered round her, and clapped their hands for joy, as their farther entered...... the fairest and youngest child lay dying...and sleeping in rest and peace as the beautiful child seemed to be, they saw that he was dead." ...read more.
In 'The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton' there are many words and phrases that are not commonly used in modern English but were used in the nineteenth century. Here are some examples: "Surly", "gall and wormwood", "whence" and "trifling emolument." The way that the story is written could be seen as a generally older style of writing as throughout the story the text is broken up by the use of many comers. "A little before twilight, one Christmas eve, Gabriel shouldered his spade, lighted his lantern, and betook himself towards the old church yard; for he had got a grave to finish by the next morning, and, feeling very low, he thought he might raise his spirits, perhaps, if ..." In 'The Adventures of the Speckled Band' there are references to items and events that would be typical in the nineteenth century but seem very old fashioned. "..and yet you had a good drive in a dog cart." Throughout 'The Sea-Raiders' there are small passages which show the age of the text. ...read more.

Billionaire CEO Lucas Marks felt that he had conquered the business world and needed a new challenge. He had built his empire, now he wanted to build a family. But after having no luck meeting the right woman and not wanting to wait any longer, Lucas decided that hiring a surrogate was his best option. For this he had a specific set of criteria and certain features that the woman must have. And that narrowed down his selection to one woman: Charlotte Washington.
