The Dinner by Herman KochI remember when this came out last year and it seemed to take the literary world by fire due to its incendiary content. Most discussions of the book where rather hush hush, all the better to heighten how shocking its material was, I guess, so while I never really knew what the book was about for sure, I somehow got it into my head that it was a bit like Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin. I liked that book well enough, but I don't know that it left a hole that needed to be filled, and I can't say I was anxiously waiting for some other novel to fill the gap I didn't know there was. If this hadn't been named a finalist for the ToB, I definitely wouldn't have given this one the time of day because, controversial or no, it just didn't intrigue me. So, I went into it pretty much with the lowest expectations you could possibly have for a book, which is probably why I suppose I thought it was better than I had anticipated. This is not the same as me thinking that the book was good, but given how vehemently loathed certain reviews of the book were, I didn't think it was utter garbage or terribly written or anything like that. Mostly, I thought the book was solidly average, certainly hyped and popular for its content more than any other obvious merits that I could see. It was fine, provided you can stand a book where you don't like any of the characters, and indeed, where the characters just get more and more hateful and repulsive as the book continues on. I am not one of those people who needs to love/admire/respect characters in books in order to enjoy my reading experiences, and yet, the people in this book were so awful (and not even really in an interesting or complicated way, I don't think) that mostly I wondered what the point of this book existing was. Some have claimed that Koch has written a great work of satire, but forgive me for being a rube, but if that's the case, what exactly is being skewered or satirized? And does that justify us spending 300 pages with loathsome people making morally reprehensible choices or simply boring us out of our skulls? If it was satire, I guess I didn't think it was especially clever and if it wasn't, I didn't think it was especially shocking or nearly as wicked as others had made it out to be. For all that, The Dinner was a brisk read and I mostly kept reading it because it was easy enough to keep going and make steady progress, but I do feel like the pacing was off about it. I'm not sure why so much of the interesting/important action occurs in the last third of the book, and the opening third meanders unnecessarily. I also felt like as Koch starts revealing more and more terrible things, the things he starts revealing seem increasingly ludicrous (i.e., shocking just to be shocking) and unnecessary. [SPOILER (skip to next paragraph if you don't want to read): For instance, was it really necessary for Paul to have some sort of genetic illness to explain his rage/psychotic behavior? What illness would that even be? Did Paul have to even be a crazy person?] I guess this is the problem with highly hyped books—they so rarely manage to live up to expectations and in this case, nothing about The Dinner was as big or bad as I had been lead to believe. It wasn't as horrifying as I had hoped (feared?) and perhaps the constant talk of the surprise ending meant that nothing was in fact a surprise at all. A bit like if you know someone is throwing you a surprise party—even if you don't know when and where it will take place, the fact that you know it exists is enough to make it not feel surprising when it does happen. Bottom line: This is a nasty book about nasty people. It's not really very satisfying, and while I don't exactly regret the time I spent on it, that is also probably because I read it in less than 48 hours and therefore did not spend very much time on it at all. I do not feel like I am any better or worse off for having read it, but still wonder why it exists.
Long Division by Kiese LamonUnlike The Dinner, I didn't know this book existed until it was named a finalist in this year's ToB. The brief synopsis I read about it mentioned time travel, which was enough to pique my interest, but truthfully if it hadn't been for the fact this book was offered on Kindle for free one day, I probably wouldn't have made it a priority to read. Whereas my feelings for The Dinner skew more towards the negative end of the spectrum, I generally feel more positive about Long Division, especially in contrast to the former. In truth, I actually read Long Division first, but I found it so confusing and befuddling that I put off writing about it, hoping time would allow my thoughts to settle into something a little more coherent. That hasn't really happened, but when I think about it next to The Dinner, it seems all sweetness and light and I think I like it all the more even though most of the time while I was reading it I pretty much had no idea what was going on. Long Division is one of those "story within a story" novels, where in the primary storyline one of the characters starts reading a book also called Long Division, which features a protagonist who also has the same name that he does. But this second Long Division takes place in 1980s and also involves time travel back to the 1960s… maybe it was because I was reading this on our iPad and it's one of those books that would work better in print, but I just had such a hard time keeping the storylines straight and sometimes wasn't entirely sure which storyline I was actually reading since so many of the characters appear in both. I suspect it's supposed to be purposefully confusing and feel like the layers between realities are bending and folding, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to be quite as confusing as I found it. My brain felt scrambled most of the time I was reading this, which didn't exactly make me love this book while I was reading it, largely because it made me feel dumb since I couldn't keep up with it. I really think that if I had been reading a paper copy, I probably would have had an easier, more enjoyable time of it… there was something about this book that just made me want a tangible, concrete book to hold where I could flip back and forth easily through the pages and the story to anchor myself. One other thing I didn't exactly love about this book was all of the jargon and slang that was used in it. It certainly didn't make the book any easier for me to follow or connect with. I've read some reviews where people associate Lamon with another black writer I really like, Victor Lavalle... I kind of see where they're coming from in terms of the tone and the scope of the work, but I would say that stylistically, Lamon's writing reminded me more of the brash machismo I associate with Junot Diaz. Obviously some people really love that style, but it honestly doesn't do much for me. I can't say that I had any big hopes or dreams wrapped up in this book going in since I knew so little about it, but I definitely kept wanting to connect with it and like it more than I really did while reading it. I kept waiting for the pieces to click, for me to tumble head over heels for it, but that never really happened. Still, compared to The Dinner, which it's not really any longer than, it felt more substantial, more thoughtful, more daring, more creative. Just more, really. I'd still give both books a 3 out of 5, though. Neither terrible, neither awesome. I can't imagine either will stick with me for every long.

Hahahah, I don't know how many times I've added and removed The Dinner from my Overdrive wish lists! It seems like every review I read of it makes me change my mind about whether I want to read it. Yours definitely put me off — I am not a fan of reading about unpleasant people being unpleasant to each other, no matter how cleverly written the book is.
I enjoyed The Dinner, but a year on I remember next to nothing about the plot. It is one of those books that are enjoyable at the time (well I thought so) but have no lasting impact.
I do think it was important to the plot that Paul had a genetic illness, as that means it will be passed on to his children. The book is all about the guilt of passing things on to our children, whether we mean to or not. I thought it added an interesting extra dimension to the discussion.
@ Jenny: Well, I wouldn't even say this written all that cleverly, so if you really are put off by nasty people with no redemptive qualities (seriously, they are almost cartoonishly nasty), then I would not think you would like this one at all. There is decidedly no light at the end of this tunnel!
@ Jackie: Hmmm… I suppose I see your SPOILER point, though I'd say that most of the guilt in this situation should be properly placed on Paul's wife rather than Paul himself since she DID know and chose to do nothing. And in fact later admits that she prefers Paul (and their son) as they are. I think it would have been more interesting if they had known about Paul's condition BEFORE they had children and still had gone ahead and had a kid, but that's neither here nor there. I guess I just felt like in some sense it sort of diminished how horrible Paul was because the author was trying to explain it away, like he's sick so that's why he's a dick. When he really could have just been a dick and a bad parent without there being any other explanation.
@ claire: My initial impulse is to say that I don't think you would like it, but then again, maybe you'd find it gripping! I would say your strategy of not worrying about it while you've got plenty of other books to plow through is probably the best one!
I had no interest in picking this up before either, it just didn't seem to be my thing. One review did get me interested now, though, but then if the characters are as you say this awful, then I don't know.. maybe I'll think about it more before attempting to pick it up. Meaning, read my TBR first before even thinking about this one.

There is no denying it – I am *incredibly* privileged here at TwoMenAboutTown; from trips to Dubai, to beautiful hotel stays and sampling the finest gastronomic delights up and down the UK, I get to do some very cool stuff. When the invite came through to attend London's newest pop-up, Fuel by celebrity-chef Jack Monroe, you would correctly assume that I was looking forward to an evening of gluttonous consumption before lazily sneaking off into the night in a food-based coma.
I was therefore not prepared for an evening that would open my eyes and leave me aghast of a crisis of epidemic proportions, with a lasting impression of wanting to do more to help and put my privilege and platform to use. There's no such thing as a free meal, after all, right?
Fuel by Jack Monroe
Based at Chapel Market in Islington, Fuel is the latest London pop-up, launched by Jack Monroe, in association with Npower.
The restaurant was absolutely Baltic upon arrival, the air-conditioning set to chill, which on a cold evening in October made for a rather uncomfortable dining experience. However, events would take a further turn for the bizarre and unexpected. Once seated, the first course arrived under silver cloches; a carefully choreographed reveal across the communal table left my fellow diners and I, to our bemusement, presented with three tinned-food products each.
Jack and her serving team watched as the assembled guests and I awkwardly perused the tinned goods; beans, sweetcorn, spam and soup were some of the tins on offer. Some of my fellow diners even began tucking into their cold tomato soup.
After several minutes of confusion had elapsed, Jack explained that hadn't (to our delight) been invited to eat cold tinned soup at her pop-up, however along with the freezing temperatures that we had been subjected to instead represented the concept behind Fuel, bringing to light the conditions of living in fuel poverty (more on this shortly). Additionally, the ingredients used in the three-course meal that would follow would be those from tinned items typically found at a food bank. Wow.
The meal was kicked off by a mushy pea soup with deep fried Spam fritter croutons, followed by a main of Spam Bolognese. This was rounded off by a chocolate sponge cake with oozy orange marmalade sauce, a budget take on one of the most gorgeous food pairings, chocolate orange. I must credit Jack and her team for preparing such a wonderful and tasty menu based on the tinned food-bank items.
Admittedly, the food wasn't the main focus of the evening – no, a far greater and important message was the main takeaway of the night. Fuel was there to serve a purpose, to carry a message, to raise awareness. It's one that really hit home to me.
The harsh realities of fuel poverty
Imagine having to make the difficult choice between either choosing to heat your home, or finding nourishment from the cold with a hot meal. The health and ultimately lives of children, the elderly and the financially vulnerable in-between are at immense risk. It's simply harrowing that 1 in 3 adults are making that choice this winter.
Sadly, the facts speak for themselves. Food banks up and down the UK are handing out 'cold boxes', full of tinned beans, meat and soups that can be eaten cold as many can no longer heat their food. In a YouGov poll, 52% of retirees said that they would be taking fewer hot baths and showers this winter due to money worries. In the words of Jack herself, 1 in 10 unemployed people have already 'self-disconnected', the cosy industry term for going without light and heat and hot meals. Staggering, hugely frightening and so eye-opening that this is taking place at such scale right under our noses, to people we call neighbours, colleagues and friends from all walks of life.
What really caught me most, and inevitably left a lasting impression, was a powerful and emotive talk that Jack gave between courses about the nature of living in poverty and the realities of it impacting her physical and mental health, using her own experiences to champion awareness. Hearing her story first-hand left me not only with a lump in my throat but a desire to want to do something about this abysmal epidemic and huge social injustice.
If like me, you feel inspired to make a difference and want to help, a donation to the good people at The Trussell Trust could make a significant impact – starting with stopping a family, possibly in your neighbourhood, going hungry this evening. Npower have made available at the trust's foodbanks – regardless of energy supplier – an emergency top-up of £49 to those who need it most, enough to give a family warmth for two whole weeks. Amazing. You can donate to the Npower Foundation (registered charity) and help heat the home of the financially vulnerable for a small donation.
Thought-provoking, hard-hitting and eye-opening, Jack Monroe's Fuel is certainly an experience that will stay for me for some time – and has profoundly impacted me and how emotive I now feel about poverty in the United Kingdom. For that reason alone, surely Fuel is a huge success in food and fuel-poverty activism.
Bravo Jack, NPower and The Trussell Trust.

Many first time home buyers are overwhelmed by the prospect of buying a new home and don't know where to start. That's where I come in! Together we can set up a plan to simplify the process of buying and even make it enjoyable. These are the steps I recommend to de-stress the buying process.
1. Find a realtor
Hey… I'm a realtor! Discuss your goals and clarify what you are looking for in a home. This allows your realtor to provide you the best recommendations for whether you'd be best suited using a mortgage broker or a bank. Within the real estate industry I've developed a great network of more then capable mortgage brokers, bankers, home inspectors, and lawyers, who can all help you along the way. But let's break that down into an easy process.
2. Mortgage Pre-approval
Once you've been to see a mortgage specialist, we can set the perimeters of your desired price range. Knowing the expected monthly costs you'll be looking at will set your mind at ease. In fact, a lot of people are surprised to find buying a house can be more affordable than renting..
3. House Hunting
This is my favourite step! We've established your price point and have discussed your "I wants" list. Now we can go browse what's out there! When you fall in love with the perfect home, we can write an offer. Once your offer is accepted, I'll be responsible for forwarding a package for your mortgage specialist to get you final mortgage approval. When an offer on a house has been accepted, normally there's a full business week to do any additional checking regarding home inspections, separate appraisals, get any quotes for updates you might want to add into your mortgage, and wait for the final mortgage approval to come in!
4. Put up the SOLD Sign
Hooray! We've removed all your conditions and you're now just waiting for your possession date to move it. This is a great time to call your utility providers to tell them you'll be needing their services set up for your possession day, so I've included some links that might be helpful:
5. Title Transfer
Normally about a week prior to your possession date, you'll get a call from the office of the lawyer you've decided to handle your transfer of title. They will handle the transfer of funds forwarded from your mortgage specialist. The costs associated with lawyers is usually between $850-$1200, but be sure to confirm the exact cost with your chosen lawyer (your Realtor® can also provide with a list of recommended lawyers if you'd like some suggestions).
6. Possession Day
Today is the day you'll receive the keys to your new home. On possession date, your lawyer will send funds to the seller's lawyer and once they've confirmed the receipt of funds, your realtor will have the go ahead to hand over the keys. Welcome to your new home!

G20 agriculture meeting
Paris, June 23, 2011
There are days when you feel happy and shouldn't hide the fact; well, today is a happy day. Indeed I'm happy to announce to you that the G20 member states concluded an agreement this morning on a food price volatility and global agriculture action plan.
This agreement, we shouldn't hide the fact, is a tour de force for the international community. It enables us to go on believing in the power of solidarity and working together to resolve the major issues facing the planet, such as the future of global agriculture. When, about a year ago, President Sarkozy put the issues of world food price volatility and agriculture on the table, his proposal, let's be frank, was greeted with some scepticism. Well, President Sarkozy, G20 president, was right, we were able to get an agreement on this essential issue. I believe this is a message of optimism, a message of the future being sent to the whole international community, which has experienced a number of failures in multilateral negotiations but scored a real success this morning.
With this agreement, we're laying the foundations of a new global agriculture. An agriculture which will be sustainable, a mutually-supportive agriculture, and one whose markets will be regulated.
This agreement, I'm keen to say, isn't especially a victory for the G20 as such. It's primarily a victory for the whole international community, a victory for the international organizations who from the outset have been involved in each stage of the negotiations on this action plan, who at every stage made their contribution, brought their expertise and enabled us to find the way to an agreement.
This agreement is also a victory for all the states which were able to demonstrate a sense of responsibility faced with these challenges and transcend their national interests to build a global collective interest.
Finally, it's a victory for a method of negotiation: an open, direct method of negotiation. This negotiation, lasting nearly 11 months, has been tough and, I'll tell you, it had a soul. It wasn't based only on issues of direct national interest to the states, it took account of the absolute necessity of fighting world hunger and ending this scandal of world hunger affecting hundreds of millions of people. From this point of view, the agreement we concluded this morning is also a victory against world hunger, a victory for agricultural workers and every farmer on the planet.
As we were hoping and as President Sarkozy had said from the start of the negotiation, this plan includes concrete, clear, ambitious decisions.
As President Sarkozy pointed out yesterday, we were unable to agree to a plan which would make do with declarations of principle. We had made an imperative of the negotiation – I had the opportunity of saying this to a number of you – the absolute necessity of having concrete, clear, ambitious decisions.
Concrete, clear, ambitious decisions, first of all, on increasing global agricultural production. Every G20 member, every international organization agreed to recognize that we had to increase global food production to feed the population properly by 2050 and do so straight away. We recalled the financial commitments made by the G20 member states, particularly in the framework of the L'Aquila summit, and the need to honour them. To increase agricultural production, we took a concrete initiative on increasing productivity, on sequencing the wheat genome in particular.
Apart from agricultural production, we also took concrete, clear, ambitious decisions on the transparency of agricultural markets. Greater transparency on agricultural markets will mean less price volatility. Greater transparency on agricultural markets will mean the market operating more smoothly for farmers but also consumers, who are tired of fluctuating food prices. So we're very swiftly going to establish an international database showing agricultural commodity production, consumption and stocks. This database, called AMIS, will be brought in as soon as possible. It will benefit from every G20 member's technical support. It will have an international remit. It will be set up in the framework of the FAO and will be for the benefit of everyone, be they members of the G20 or not. In addition to this, a satellite monitoring system will be established, making it possible to pool satellite images showing agricultural production and also take account of the effects of climate change on global agricultural production.
Our concrete, clear, ambitious decisions are not just about agricultural production and productivity, not just about transparency, but also about improving coordination between the G20 members' responses. We decided to stop accepting unilateral responses when a producer state faces a drought, a flood or a specific problem. We wanted to establish coordination mechanisms enabling us to take joint decisions on tailored responses in the event of a dramatic fall in production in this or that country. So we'll establish a rapid response mechanism at the level of the G20 members, to be based within the FAO. This rapid response mechanism will comprise high-level G20 representatives, enable us to take decisions as quickly as possible in the event of a fall in production in one of the member states or big producer states, and enable us to consult each other and respond collectively where previously we've got into the bad habit of responding individually. Any decisions in the event of a crisis will, from now on, be taken in the framework of this rapid response mechanism.
Our concrete, clear, ambitious decisions are also about protecting the developing countries, because they are the worst hit by agricultural price volatility. It's the developing countries that suffer most when we have dramatic rises in agricultural prices around the world. When these agricultural prices increase by 30% or 50%, or when they double, in the case of wheat – as occurred last year – it's an economic problem for the developed countries, but it's a matter of life and death for the developing countries. So we have a moral responsibility, which we've accepted, to provide concrete solutions. We therefore made a commitment – for the first time at international community level – to abolish all export restrictions for global food aid. This commitment to abolish all export restrictions for global food aid is a totally new commitment that adds to the existing measures on imports.
We also made a commitment to turn this political agreement into a legal obligation in the framework of the WTO, and we're going to start working on it. This too is an entirely new factor in the life of the international community.
Finally, concrete, clear, ambitious decisions on production, transparency, coordination and the defence of the developing countries, but equally on financial regulation. We wanted financial regulation to feature in the French presidency's agricultural action plan. It's in there, and it's also in there together with clear and verifiable commitments.
At the level of the G20 member states, we all recognize the need for regulated agricultural markets. We all recognize the need to establish new rules for the operation of agricultural commodity markets. We all recognize the need to combat abuses of the market and cross-manipulation between financial and agricultural commodity markets. So we're strongly encouraging the finance ministers to make progress along this path of regulation, and we're making concrete proposals that feature in the action plan, like the ex-ante position limits that are explicitly mentioned in the action plan on agricultural price volatility and global agriculture.
We also wanted each of these concrete commitments to have guaranteed follow-up, so we took the decision to ensure these decisions were followed up, and we wanted to recommend keeping agriculture on the G20's agenda, in the belief that the success of these initial negotiations showed they were a point of departure and not of arrival, that we'd laid the foundations of this new world agriculture and that we must of necessity continue along that path in the years to come.
Those are the few points I wanted to convey to you this morning. On a more personal note, I must tell you that this year of negotiations has been an extremely exciting year for the French agriculture ministry, and I must say I'm very happy this agreement has been reached between G20 member states, because it's an agreement made for the benefit of the entire international community and, in particular, the poorest countries on the planet.
Thank you, everyone./.

Kevin's Page: Therapy Shatters. The Mind Remembers. How many masks can one man wear?
Another unicorn in the person of Pastor Kevin Wilson, my first chaplain so far. Kevin comes bearing gifts, gifts of hope and survival and accomplishments. He is a chaplain at Rush Hospital Chicago, and a father of three, with one special needs child. He shares how at a very young age he started wearing masks, all kinds of masks, and perfected the act. Stemming from being raised in a household where he felt his voice was silenced, he learned how to hibernate and got really good at isolating and hiding his feelings. He is a (Black) man who is unafraid to admit to receiving therapy, and we love that! He says therapy showed him how his issues affect those around him. Find out what masks he wore all through his earlier years until he became a healer of wounded souls at their hospital bedsides. Quotables: "The mind remembers" "A lot of men are going around with silent cries" "Therapy shattered the glass" "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" "When you are alone, be alone in His presence" He can be found on social media and on Facebook as Kevin Wilson, and on IG as K.Wil83 Ciao bella!

Corina's Page: "Decide today that YOU ARE ENOUGH..."
What can I say about today's guest?

Hayley's Page; From crippling social anxiety disorder to director and coach
Social Anxiety Disorder is a clinical phenomenon that does not get its due credit. Many sufferers either don't know they have it, or many around them don't recognize it as a bonafide diagnosis. This week's guest Ms. Hayley is one such sufferer. She, unfortunately, went undiagnosed for long enough to have fairly negative outcomes from her disease. However, she has conquered her fears and is now at a much better place. Currently, she works to help others who are struggling with SAD like her find answers and hope. She is currently a director at Quiet Connections, where she helps create awareness for mental illness in schools. Teaching the kids that even though we might sometimes feel we are not good enough, we all must continue to strive to be our best selves.

Regena's Page: The "Gift" of Depression and Suicidal Ideation
What is our purpose in this life? Do our friends know our innermost minds? Are we truly living up to our potentials? How are we all doing in the #selfworth department? Is it possible for someone to actually "enjoy" being miserable? Can we truly be transparent, or are we afraid of being judged by others? All these and other questions were tackled and answered eloquently by this week's guest, Ms. Regena. She is a realtor-turned Yogi and Soul coach, international speaker and author. She was kind enough to bare her soul to me during this interview, and I can't wait to share it with you. No stranger to depression and suicidal ideation, find out how Ms. Regena has transformed her life and her pain to help others with theirs. A self-proclaimed spiritualist, she firmly believes that we are "spiritual beings all living a human experience". She describes the journey out of depression as "simple, but not easy". Quotable quotes: "Be grateful for the things that cause you pain, so you can learn and grow from them" "When you are in the picture, you can't see the frame" "I thought that by taking my life, I could control the outcome of my life" This final installment for the year, promises to be full of knowledge and wisdom for everyone.

Winnie's Page; Living Positively, Learning to live our lives and allowing for frequent edits as we go.
When she discovered she was HIV positive at the tender age of 16, Ms. Mabena had to literarily decide to live or die. She struggled with frequent thoughts of being better off dead until she realized one day that her story might save another person, and that was when she decided to go public with it, and she has never looked back. She joins us today from Zambia and talks candidly about her life, the work she is doing to raise awareness for living with HIV and other stories. She is an author, international speaker, motivator, mentor and runs a nonprofit called The Knowledge Effect which helps educate children in the rural areas of Zambia. Her online brand aptly called "Living Positively" helps spread awareness for HIV and other challenging life circumstances. She firmly believes in empowering others and scaling challenges.

Her Living Positively brand is her vehicle for positive change in the world, and her main focus is self-acceptance, compassion, and love. She currently has authored 2 books both available on Amazon; Living Positively, the Winnie Mabena Story, and Dear Young Woman: an Amazon bestseller. Best Quotes: "You must have a personal definition of who you are". "Run with the small pieces of positivity". "Your life experiences do not take away your value". "We must edit our life story as we go". "How can we learn from our pain?" She is on all social media platforms especially FB, Twitter, and IG as Living Positively. She is available for speaking engagements and accepts donations for her works with The Knowledge Effect. Listen, subscribe, share and repeat. Dr. Lulu

My Brand New Book! A Teen's Life.
In this episode, I introduce my brand new baby!! My book titled A Teen's Life, in which we take a critical look at the lives of 12 youngsters, ages ranging from early teens to the early twenties. It is essentially about suicide prevention, but it paints the picture from the teens' perspectives and we get a glimpse of how they might arrive at decisions to inflict self-harm on themselves and even on how they might decide to take it to the next level. They share their struggles and life choices with me (Dr. Lulu) in a Dear Doctor format. I do my very best to respond to their needs and counsel them from a mother's perspective, an empath's corner, and from a professional level as well. The book is divided into three parts (essentially three books in one). The first part describes the global burden of suicide, the second part chronicles the teens and their struggles, and the third part deals with the next steps. What to do next, and by whom. The electronic version is available on my website and on Kindle for $4.99 now, or for free if you have Kindle unlimited (see links below). I am still awaiting other outlets like Barnes and Nobles Nook, Kobo and IngramSpark. I plan on having the paperback ready by the end of the time this episode is released. Be on the lookout. I plan on expanding it to a series and adding one about girls and one about just boys to the mix. I welcome your suggestions, comments, and reviews on the book. You may also email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com Enjoy, and don't forget to share the info on the book and this podcast :) Ciao!

Dr. Leah's Page: Hit the RESET button
When an ER physician has taken care of an 8yr old attempted suicide but has nowhere to send them, what does she do? Dr. Leah shares her heartbreaking story of a suicide attempt that gets sucked into the world of hospital bureaucracy and inadequacies and inefficiencies. She also speaks passionately about her work with physician autonomy called HPAC, a company which she founded to help correct the decay in the present-day hospital systems and the system of "uncompensated administrative burdens" they impose on doctors daily that often lead to burnout and suicidal ideation as well as suicide. No stranger to depressive and suicidal symptoms herself, she tells us how she found answers by reaching out to online communities of doctors when the going got tough for her. Her sound advice is "If you are depressed and suicidal, ensure you are not surrounded by a** holes." She also advises us to "change our environments and try something new, shift our ways of thinking, and reconnect with our happy selves" when we find ourselves in a rut... No truer words. Dr. Leah can be found on most social media platforms.

B Lee's Page; Hands to Make, Mold and Mend (and might I add, Motivate) Lives.
Today we are speaking to another unicorn... a Black male, and this one actually endorses psychotherapy when one is hurting and needing to find their way. Our Guest Mr. B Lee is an educator in every sense of the word. He teaches high schoolers Government and Theatre. He also teaches and mentors his students on life, especially since some of them are Juvenile Offenders, who have had issues with the system due in part to gaps in their education and care. After losing multiple family members in a short time span, he went through the tunnel of darkness and loss but eventually came out on the other side with a firm resolve to continue life's work in molding our teens. He is a truly remarkable man, who gives props to his father as the person who not only molded him but also molded others. He admits that life is still a daily struggle, but he uses the arts to find the motivation to explore his feelings and carry on. He focuses his life on "where the rubber meets the road", because in his words, "the children want someone with a listening ear". An excellent interview for anyone needing some motivation and some inspiration. Find him on Facebook as B Lee, on IG as "Luv to hate B Lee" Dr. L

12 Myths About Suicide; Let's bring in dem myth busters
A very happy Veteran's Day to all my fellow Vets out there. To all the servicemen and women in boots, I see ya'll. I appreciate y'all and much love. Today, we are going to examine some myths about suicide that I came across while researching for my second book about teens and their unique struggles. It is aptly called A Teen's Life. The points are certainly food for thought. For instance, the fact that prescription antidepressants have quadrupled in the past few years, and if they work (as big Pharma would like us to believe), then why are suicide rates on the rise? Well, I will venture that it is because mental illness is only one of a myriad of reasons people choose to end their lives. Listen, learn, enjoy, and share... Talk to you next week :)

Seema's Page; When it takes 12 different doctors to make a diagnosis
Today's guest is special in so many ways to me. We both are immigrants, both are authors and speakers, and we both have fibromyalgia. Seema takes us on a journey through a childhood full of ill health, self-doubt, significant bullying and lots of other kinds of trauma, coupled with a difficult diagnosis. She attempted suicide 4 times as a result of lots of challenges in her childhood and we are thankful today that she did not end up dying because she is making so much of a difference today in other people's lives as a coach, and an international speaker with her message of survival and thriving. Notable Quotes "You look perfectly normal on the outside, while a Tsunami is going on inside", is one of her notable quotes today. "Go towards the light" "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" Today she combines nutrition, exercise, mindset changes and spirituality to help her clients. Her book, "The Authorities", which she co-wrote with 3 NYT bestselling authors, can be found on Amazon.

Nya's Page; "God uses infections to get your attention"
From the very beginning, I knew Nya was my twin. Bear with me and my croaky voice in this episode, but she paints a picture that parallels mine so much, that I call her my twin! An Author (a Poet), an Internal Medicine Physician, a survivor of childhood trauma, depression and suicidal ideation at the tender age of 11! She now is adding her voice to other guests on my podcast that are speaking up about their personal struggles, and letting everyone know that silence kills and talk saves lives. A child of Congolese diplomats, who "felt ignored" as a child and even cried all night asking for God to take her in her sleep, she shares now how she is dealing with life and her patients, and how she tells them to take it easy, and focus on what is right to avoid in order to not get sick. Her book of poems is called "Letters from God" on Amazon and at Barnes and Nobles. As always, many thanks for your downloads and subscriptions and reviews,,, they are well appreciated. Dr. L

Anthony's Page: Life After Losing Your Baby... #keeppushing
As a pediatrician and mother, this interview was hard at times. My guest, another unicorn has suffered the ULTIMATE loss of all, that of a child, and a tiny newborn at that. He shares his struggles with depression following a preterm delivery, and how support and love from his family, music, meditation, therapy, and blogging saved him from the darkness that followed. A mortgage company insurance tracker by day, Anthony is on the path of healing through blogging about his son, mental illness and these have led him to even writing a book. He credits therapy so much for his journey back from the pain of the loss, that he mentions it repeatedly during the interview, and declares he will always use therapy as a means to continue healing. "Focus on your focus" and "keep pushing" are his favorite quotes, and his favorite book is "think and grow rich" I absolutely enjoyed speaking with this gentleman, and wish him all the very best. He can be found on FB/IG as Anthony Abrams Jr, and his blog is www.livingalways.org His book title is "The Voices Behind Mental Health" As always, thank you for your continued support of this podcast, join us next week for another interesting guest on Suicide Pages.

For taking time out to speak about your troubles, your pain, your anguish. For agreeing to put yourselves out there in a world where many are afraid to do just that. For sharing your innermost secrets of insecurity, self-doubt, self-shame, self-hatred and even a willingness to end your life. To the teachers among you, thank you for #becoming a better version of yourselves by sharing knowledge and touching souls. To my listeners, one thing I know for sure is, I could have the loudest voice ever, but if no one is listening or if no one is available to hear my message, then I am only wasting my time. So, I thank you. I love you, I see you. To my family, the shoulders upon which I stand, thank you. To the universe, for allowing a little girls' dreams come true, thank you, and thank you again.

Sydney's Page; There is NO "look" of depression, but there is a "face"...
When you are only 24 yrs old and have attempted suicide 3 times (between the ages of 19 and 21yrs) due to chronic depression, feelings of self-loathing, worthlessness and even admitting to a "stress memory block", you have been through worse than most people your age. That was the case with today's guest. She admits to growing up with a negative belief system in a toxic environment that culminated in hopelessness and "many days of simply crying and crying". "There is no look of depression, yet there is a face of depression", and that face was Sydney's for a long time. She admits that depression and suicide are real, and "no joke". She also admits that "depression was once her life", but all those days of pain have now turned into a blessing. A former presidential scholar, you would never know that Sydney had the quadruple diagnoses of; ADHD, Seasonal Depression, Dyslexia and Anxiety all at the same time. Thankfully, she has now found love and is on her way to owning her own business called "The Genuine Ones", where she can put all those feelings of not being good enough to good use by helping others who might be walking the path she has already trodden. Best quote "just because other people can't see your pain, doesn't mean it is not real..." As always, thank you to my listeners for your patronage. Thank you for your downloads and thank you for your shares, subscriptions, and reviews. If you know anyone who could benefit from this podcast, please tell them about us, and share the love...:) Blessings... Dr. Lulu

Torriel's Page; The first of a few Unicorns...
We can all agree that losing a sibling is a very tough thing to deal with, now imagine losing not one, but two siblings, and a couple of other family members in the space of a few years. That is what our guest today had to deal with in his past. The first of my #unicorns (Black males), Mr. Torriel Pauley is writing on our pages today. He is a young man who has dealt with the loss unimaginable by many of us...still he stands. He is a living legacy of the power of hope in our lives. He is thriving today as a healthcare IT guru working with radiology software, but it wasn't always easy, like any of us, he had his own personal demons that he battled and won, and we can almost hear the hidden anguish in his voice as he shares his story. He is a fellow brand new podcaster, his podcast is called "Careers in Healthcare", he showcases healthcare professionals and the good work we are doing. Let's find it on our favorite podcast platforms and show him some love, shall we? He also has a YouTube Channel called "Healthcare IT Solutions", again, please give him some love. With a story like his, it is easy to understand why his favorite quote is "If there is no struggle, there is no progress" by Frederick Douglas. It is important that we share our stories, people, because, in the end, that is what we are connected most by. Thanks again for the many subscriptions and shares... ciao! Dr. Lulu

D'Tondja's Page. Life after Five; the Power of Determination and Prayer
The last time she attempted suicide (her 5th) a few years ago, this week's guest, D'Tondja Foster aka Deedee did not think she would survive it. In fact, something told her it was going to be her last... She made sure she planned it out well, left no stone unturned, swept her house and cleaned up everywhere. However, fate was not done with her, the universe and our world still needed her, and she is here today to tell her story. After suffering multiple losses of close relatives all within a short time, Deedee started feeling like she was better off not being here, but through the "power of determination and prayers", she still stands and is walking taller than ever! She shares how on that fateful day, she called everyone in her immediate support group, but no one was available, they were all "busy". It goes to show you-you never know when someone will need you, so always stay ready. After retiring from the healthcare industry, she is now living her best life as a co-author of multiple books, like Voices Behind Mental Illness (available on Amazon) the bestselling anthology she refers to in her interview, and many other books, like "She Wouldn't Let Me Fall", another co-author work. She is simply enjoying her life as a wife, a mother, and a community activist, dedicated to spreading awareness for mental illness and its complications. She can be reached on Facebook @ Deedee McCoy Foster and on Instagram as Deafdiva01 Check out her episode, and please remember to share and subscribe, and oh, leave me a review if ya like whatchu hear, aaight?

Suicide and Your Teen, 13 Reasons Why
In this special episode, I am publishing one of my recent Facebook Live videos as a podcast in honor of September being National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. I talk about the top 13 reasons why your teen might end their life through suicide. I also discuss the signs of suicidal behavior and who is at most risk. It is a very special episode more so because my primary focus is teen suicide, and my primary avatar is parents and caregivers and they are the ones I am speaking with directly here. Suicide is, however, everybody's problem. The sooner we all see that, the better. For the rest of the month of September (and every day henceforth) do something to help lower the rate of suicide in the world. It is so easy to call someone, text someone, go to lunch with them, and look into their eyes, really ask them how they are doing, and LISTEN. Hug someone, smile at someone and offer to take them to get help in the event that they do confide in you.... Finally, tell them you love them, because, the greatest of the gifts is love. If they ask you why you are being so kind, empathetic and compassionate with them, tell them Dr. Lulu sent you :) I am especially thankful to all the guests, and listeners of this podcast, as well as all my followers on social media and in real life, THANK YOU! Thank you, thank and thank you again for over 1,200 downloads in 10 weeks!

Sharon K. Edward's Page - 1; When Grandma is also an Activist!
Y'all, I had SO much fun interviewing Sharon! She is a HOOT! She describes herself as a wife of an Army Veteran, a mother of 2 and a grandmother. I describe her as a warrior, a survivor, a woman with a golden heart, on a mission to give voice to the voiceless and the invisible. With her nonprofit movement, aptly called I AM INVISIBLE (I Am Invisible Bullying and Suicide Movement), she is reaching hearts and breaking barriers and creating awareness for (you guessed it) bullying. Once called a Cry Baby for crying too much, Sharon has turned her tears into jewels and is making a difference in the world. She travels all over the country spreading her message and changing lives every day. Her story is one of a kind, it spans decades of sadness, and suffering and survival. Once wanting to "disappear" from this earth, and thinking her "husband was going to save her", she is now keeping people, especially children grounded and saving them from themselves. Her favorite quotes are "It's OK to admit that I am not strong enough", and "kids actually hurt too". Her take-home message is to first admit that we are not OK, then seek help both emotionally, spiritually, and physically. She can be found on Facebook and on the web @ www.iaminvisiblebullying.org, Enjoy, and please continue to write your reviews, thank you for the 5star ratings, downloads and subscriptions... Ciao!

Vicki's Page Part 1; Do you ever feel like YOU ARE NOT ENOUGH?
Listening to this episode, one would not believe that Vicki and I just met a few minutes before this recording. We had an awesome time together. Though heavy at times, we still found space to laugh and enjoy the recording, it is obvious that both our passions shine through. She like me, is a firm believer in abolishing bullying. Vicki was inspired to join the anti-bullying fight after watching her son with special needs get bullied in the very worst way, by kids at school. She has been propelled to do something great for parents and children all over the world. She is an author, international speaker, and business consultant. Her signature book is appropriately called "Evict The Bully in Your Head"...available on her website @ Vickifitch.com/5K Whether it is through one of her characters, or the names of said characters, Vicki's unique energy and spirit shines through. She has seen a fair share of sad days and horror from the meanness of kids to her beautiful son. Still, she stands...STRONG! She takes us on a journey from what to do when bullying occurs, to what to say, and even how to think when bullying is taking place. Listen and find out what NES or YANA means. Do you know what October 09 each year is? Do you know what the two most important words to say when bullying is going on? Listen and find out. Best quotes "hurt people who aren't heard, hurt people", Best advice to parents "advocate for your child even when they ask you not to". Please, family, let us find this lovely woman on the internet, buy her books, and support her cause. Link; https://www.facebook.com/vicki.hainaultfitch Thank you. Dr. Lulu

Beth's Page; ...Are you feeling like a functionally broken and displaced person? Are you tying your worth to $$?
Beth Lopez, my first guest of Hispanic ancestry, was such a delight to interview. She calls herself a Universal Soul Coach, a Life Transformer, and CEO of Souls Awakening Academy. Growing up in a religious Hispanic house hold, her parents were very protective and had her life all planned out (who can relate?), and at one point she realized she was "living" her "parents' life". Unfortunately, no matter how loving and protective we parents are, we cannot protect our children from life, and life did indeed happen to Beth. She talks about how "looks can be deceiving" and admits to have been a "functional broken person", who felt "displaced", and tied her "worth to" her "paycheck". She struggled with a loss of identity and at one point, drugs became her friend, especially when she felt she had failed in everything she touched, and ideations of suicide became her close companion. A true story of rising from grass to grace, Beth is now using lots of meditation and nature walks in order to connect with the earth elements, as she helps others find themselves and their purposes in life. Her quote and advice are "stay true to yourself". "You are loved, you are born whole and complete" Her website is universalsoulcoach.com, and her IG handle is @igniteyoursanity I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed hanging out with Beth, and don't forget to share this podcast with friends and family, subscribe and download. If you find it within your heart, leave us a comment and maybe even sponsor an episode. Ciao! Dr. Lulu

Debbie's Page; "Allowing herself to be a victim"
From a very young age, Debbie knew she was different. She "felt" her bullying was her "fault". She lived in what she calls "victim-hood" from age 8 to age 16 as a result of incessant bullying from the same person as bystanders stood aside, watched, and even cheered on. As a victim, she had never blamed the bully, she always blamed herself. Even after telling her parents and doing some things to change her situation, the bullying continued. Her life was so difficult living as Debbie, that she became obsessed with living as someone else, so she took up drama in school, so she would not have to "live as herself". As a result of all these stresses, Debbie attempted suicide 3 times!!! She was eventually diagnosed with clinical depression and got help. But she insists that she "allowed herself to be a victim". Thankfully, she has transformed herself, and now is a holistic counselor and a meditation teacher, who climbed Mount Machu Picchu and raised thousands of dollars for children's charities! So Cool! She is the founder of the "Freedom To Be Me" Movement, and can be found on Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/debbiedebonairetts Her favorite quote is "for things to change, you have to change", a very powerful quote if you ask me. She believes that loving yourself first is a different and much better way of loving. She has only two words of encouragement; "REACH OUT" I hope you enjoy listening to Debbie's page as much as I enjoyed interviewing her twice! PS: Please download and spread the word. TY Dr. Lulu

Bullying and Suicide, the 411
Unless you have been living under a huge rock, you must have heard about all the children and young people who have died from self-inflicted injuries lately. You must have heard that suicide is the second leading cause of death for our youth ages 10-34yr. Well, did you know that many of these suicides were as a result of bullying? Yes, a great majority of children who die by suicide are as a result of bullying... nearly 60% This is appalling considering the fact that bullying is so pervasive now. Many people even think bullying is a necessary part of growing up, and think kids actually "deserve" to be bullied to make them somehow stronger. Well, I for one disagree, and I hope that if you are in that school of thought, you will have a change of heart after listening to this episode. Do you know who is at risk of being bullied? Do you know the different forms bullying can take, or what makes someone become a bully? Do you know that your child, yes, your precious "little angel" could be the bully?

Estelle's Page; A story of Heartache, Pain, and Self-destruction, then, TRIUMPH!
With a name like Estelle, one expects a beautiful person, and I was not disappointed. This woman is nothing short of a beautiful soul inside and out. She has the most soothing voice and most calming demeanor. It is extremely hard to reconcile that image with the story of heartache, pain, and self-destruction that she tells. A story so hard to live with that she subconsciously "buries" it deep down in her heart for years. As a pediatrician and mother, some aspects of Estelle's suicide page were very difficult for me to listen to, yet, she held her composure and went through with it. All the way from Zurich, we can feel her pain and her suffering. Thankfully, she is on a path to recovery and VICTORY! g Notable quotes: "I was afraid of my mother, but in our culture, who isn't?" As a pediatrician and mother, some aspects of Estelle's suicide page were very difficult for me to listen to, yet, she held her composure and went through with it.

Kristin's Pages - Part 1; A Doctor with A GOOD Heart
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Kristin Norris, D.O. A fellow ex-lady in boots, a mom, a soft-spoken psychiatrist, entrepreneur, and friend. She speaks today about military life and suicide, touching on her own personal encounter with the suicide of a patient, a common thread between us...and the guilt that often follows us as doctors and providers when that happens. Did we do everything we could possibly do? Could we have done more? Would it have made a difference? Those are hard questions that may never get answered but will linger forever. She talks about the Air Force Zero Suicide Pilot program at her base, which was largely successful and is now being implemented Air Force wide. She implores us to "not be afraid to ask" the tough questions, whether we are providers or not, adding that "it is easier to say yes than to say I need help"...indeed it is. Would you consider supporting this podcast? Simply click the link. I can't wait to hear from you! UU

Wendy's Pages - Part 1; How early in age can we become aware that we are unhappy?
Describing herself as a "housewife with a GED", a grandmother and a "mathlexic", Wendy is one of those people whom you feel like you have known for a very long time upon first meeting her. She is funny, witty, and full of life. She also has a lot to say and has no problem saying it. Today, she takes us on a personal journey of torment and a mixture of betrayal and distrust as well as survival and a fair dose of hardship. She is smiling these days, but not before she felt all alone in the world as young as the tender age of 4 (Kindergarten), and literally held a gun to her head in her 30s... As she shares her story, one has no choice but to follow her along, cheering her on the entire time. One of her quotes today is "I did not get any real therapy that worked". Showcasing the need for us to ensure we get our children and family members the proper kind of therapy, and the right therapist as well. In her words, "finding the right therapy is absolutely vital".

What is Suicide?
In this episode, I discuss suicide in a broad overview. The causes and confounding factors. I discuss some statistics briefly, and the fact that the majority of people who die by suicide do not have mental illness, they do so as a result of a triad of Hopelessness, Helplessness, and Despair. Overwhelming anguish coupled with other societal ills like poor governance, racism, non-compliance with meds, etc. Since suicide prevention is a global necessity, we must all roll up our sleeves and join in the fight and the movement to #endthesilenceshameandstigma of suicide. Indeed, silence kills and talk saves lives. Suicide is EVERYONE'S problem. Happy listening. Dr. L

Khrystine's Page; #stayfrosty
At the young age of 20 yr, my beautiful, smart, articulate and talented niece, Khrystine, has already tasted betrayal, ostracism and learned some life lessons that will shape the rest of her life as an immigrant in the United States. In her interview she touches on a personal story that tested her emotional strength as a college student, a situation early in her Fresh-Man year which pushed her to the edge of depression and hopelessness. She however found strength in fellow immigrants, and has now grown from it. She however bounced back and now always sees "the happy side of things". Her favorite quote is "STAY FROSTY" (don't ask me, listen to her explanation :) She also has some words of advice for fellow Gen-Zeers; "Everything on the Internet is not real", and for Parents; "STOP being in denial where your kids are concerned, listen, listen, listen to your children". I was inspired by her story, and I think you would too. Enjoy, and don't forget to download and share this podcast. Ciao! Dr. Lulu

Lynette Charity, MD, Page 1; Standing at the edge of the bridge, she heard a voice...
At 67yr young, Dr. Lynette, and anesthesiologist and former Lt. Col in the United States Air Force would appear to be living her life out loud. She has gotten her second wind. If you consider the fact that she is a self-proclaimed Humorist (Stand Up Comedian), a TEDx Speaker; winner of a Toastmasters Championship competition in 2014, a budding author, and an all-around beautiful soul, you would never know that she once not only contemplated suicide, but actually climbed on a NY bridge about to jump...but didn't. In this episode, she shares her story of overcoming a life-long battle with depression, suicidal thoughts, a toxic work environment, medical credentialing boards, and life in general. She describes our current medical environment as one that forces doctors to become "locked into a persona" that does not reflect our multifaceted natures... "If I jump off this bridge before I call my mother, she is going to kill me" is the quote of the day from this amazing woman, fellow sista-doc and fighter whom I have essentially "voluntold" to become my mentor. It was a pleasure interviewing her. Enjoy!

Antionette Page 1; All about deleting NEGATIVITY
Antoinette is originally from the Caribbean Islands, and currently living in Canada. She tells us a story about trials and survival. Suicide attempts and victory. "I must say, I don't blame anybody" are her words when it comes to her circumstances and the decisions she has made. She is, however, quick to add that the decision to suicide is never one that comes easy or that comes over a short time. She is thankful and grateful for life, and adds that "life is for the living". Nowadays, she focuses on "DELETING NEGATIVITY" and along with owning a publishing company, her current work is all about that. Borrowing from her mentor, Dr. Miles Monroe (RIP), she would like to "die empty" and "leave a lighted pathway for others". I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Antoinette, and I sincerely hope you do too.

She tells her story of coming of age, and survival and making peace with her teenage decisions and overcoming a lifestyle that almost ruined her life. She is now grown and doing the work she "promised" she would do, and living life out loud. She has a FB group called "Speaking Styles" where she inspires other women/people to be their best...

Suicide Pages Coming Soon: Trailer!
An ultra-brief intro to the podcast!
July 17, 2019

Uncle Sam and his friends at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are trying to work with wireless companies to lower the fines associated with the early termination of contracts, according to an Associated Press article. Parts of the proposed plan would give consumers up to 30 days to cancel their cell phone contract without penalty or until 10 days after they receive their first bill. Another part of the proposal would minimize early termination fees for every month a subscriber remains within their contract.
What would wireless companies get in return? Well, the carrot being held out for the wireless carriers is the ability to eliminate state lawsuits by angry customers. States would also no longer have the authority to regulate termination fees as they do now. The advantage for the wireless companies, besides the elimination of many lawsuits, would be that they would only have to deal with Uncle Sam when it comes to negotiating termination fees rather than having to deal with the issue on a state by state basis.
If approved, this is a good proposal for not only wireless carriers, but for subscribers as well. Not everyone affected by such a deal would be happy. One group I can think of as being none too pleased is the state governments who will lose some regulation authority. States tend not to take losing power to the federal government too kindly.

Theology is often defined as a system of beliefs and ideas related to religious issues and concerns. Based on that, there are many different theologies related to the Monotheistic religions, specifically Judaism and Christianity. This article gives a short description of 3 different theologies.
Below are a few useful terms and definitions for people interested in Religious Studies.
1. Biblical Languages
The bible is the bestselling book of all time and has been translated into many languages throughout history. Biblical languages are the original languages that the bible was written in. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. The study of biblical languages looks deep into the meaning and theological significance of each word. The meaning from one language to another language can be very different, so explanation and analysis of the original biblical text has been done in many parts of the world. Studying the original biblical languages bring a well-rounded knowledge and greater insight of biblical text.
2. Biblical Studies
Biblical Studies is the study of the Bible according to Christian theology. Students in this field will gain in-depth focus on the history, meaning and relevance of the bible and how it applies to life today. The literature of both the Old Testament and New Testament are examined and interpreted. Knowledge on the background of the bible and the original language used will be taught in this program. Depending on the program, students may choose to study Greek and Hebrew while earning this degree. With a Biblical studies degree, a person can have a career as a chaplain, missionary or consular. Teaching at Christian schools, churches and attending seminary are all options with a biblical studies degree.
3. Certificate in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship
This certificate program is designed to be complementary to a degree program or as a means to grow as a spiritual disciple. A certificate in spiritual formation and discipleship aims to lead people into a deeper and more beneficial spiritual life. This program helps develop leaders and be confident in bringing Christian knowledge and teachings to others. Students in this program gather to read, discuss and examine biblical texts. Depending on the school where the program is taken, students can earn credit towards a degree or take the certification without pursuing academic credit. A certification in spiritual formation and discipleship takes much less time than a normal degree.
4. Chaplain
Chaplains are clergy members who originally worked for a specific church, religious organization or denomination. Today, chaplains serve the secular areas as well as religious associations. As they work in nonreligious institutions they can provide guidance and even spiritual counseling for those who request it. They provide a safe and comfortable ear to listen to and consul others on issues they may be having. Chaplains can be employed by a number of organizations, such as the government, corporations and sports teams. Though chaplains are similar to pastors as they lead people spiritually, a chaplain does not require the same education and provides assistance to a variety of faiths and usually attend to recently traumatized patients.
5. Christian Ministries
A degree in Christian Ministries focuses on missions, Christian theology, and leading a church. There are many occupation options available with a degree in Christian ministries. A few of the possible jobs with this degree include counseling, chaplaincy, ministers and education. With this degree students should be able to successfully communicate and explain the Bible. The goal of this degree is to develop well-rounded, open minded and Christ centered students. A Christian ministries program should teach students to communicate the Bible and Christian beliefs to diverse populations around the world. A degree in Christian ministries should help prepare individuals for a faith based career, graduate school and seminary.
6. Divinity School
Divinity school is a religious program designed to prepare students for a career in ministry. Colleges and universities offer this schooling as part of seminary schooling, or as its own graduate professional program. A degree in divinity usually takes anywhere from two to seven years, depending on the program. . Programs usually require internships, where students will work with churches and other ministries.
7. Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.)
This master's program takes an in-depth approach to Christian theology, history and research. A master of theological studies is not meant to develop pastors, but has a greater focus on academic teachings and theological thinking. A portfolio of work throughout the program is kept as records for a student's understanding and research of Christian documents. A master's thesis is typically required for completion of a M.T.S. and serves as a means to prepare students for religious education. Schools may offer alternatives to writing a thesis, such as project work, additional courses or working on a research paper with a professor.
8. Missionary
In a religious context, a missionary is someone sent on a mission to share information or preach to others about their beliefs. Missionaries may travel to foreign places to preach the gospel or whatever beliefs they have. Missionary work can be done anywhere, even in the town you live in. It includes serving other and sharing the history of your doctrine or faith and why you believe what you do. Missionaries may travel in groups or go on individual missions. The main goal is to share their religion to others and offer them a chance to join them in that practice.
9. Parachurch Organizations
Parachurch organizations are churches without a specific denomination; instead they embrace their own Christian parameters within a single parachurch. This allows them to have a variety of denominations be part of their organization. All parachurches have a common goal of serving Christ, but this is done in a way that is not confined to an autonomous branch. A parachuch organization participates in evangelism, social good and should support the community as well as neighboring churches. However, there has been some controversy with parachurches when they do not aim to lead people to a church and support the goals of other denominations.
10. Urban Ministries
The meaning of urban ministries depends on the culture and area you are talking about. Most urban ministries refer to the inner-city area. It also includes the people that live in the city as well as poor and diverse populations. These ministries can include numerous churches and nonprofit organizations seeking to help the community and less fortunate. Ministries may go into the city to evangelize and attend to the needy. Food banks, fundraising and service work are a few ways urban ministries provide for their communities. This type of ministry is open to serving a variety of people, regardless of their faith.
11. Youth Minister
A youth minister, also known as a youth pastor, is someone who works with and disciples to children or young adults. These people devote time to teach children their religious doctrine and coach them along the stage in life they are in with a foundation on their faith. The goal of a youth minister is to bring children closer to their faith and denomination. Youth ministers also aid parents and guardians in teaching their children according to their religious beliefs. Many youth pastors oversea trips, missions and camps that the youth group travels on. A youth minster reports to the senior pastor in their organization.

People's Choice Awards 2011: The Must-See Beauty Looks
I don't know if the celebs are all still suffering from a holiday hangover or what, but I have to say: beauty-wise, the People's Choice Awards last night left me decidedly underwhelmed.
With Diane Kruger's cool waves and Ginnifer Goodwin's adorbz pixie cut and even Taylor Swift's cherry lips (before I got bored of them... you'll see she's wearing the SAME LOOK this year), the 2010 awards seemed so much more exciting.
We can only hope they're saving their A game for the Oscars.
As usual, I've broken things down into the good... the boring... and the just plain WRONG.
The Good
Selena Gomez
I adore everything about her Look #1 (at the top of this post): the sideswept hair, the lashes, the hint of silver on the eyelids and the way the pink blush and lipstick look on her golden skin. Look #2, above (she changed), is less incredible but still decent.
AnnaLynne McCord
Someone is becoming quite the red carpet poseur! But I'll give credit where credit is due: she looks good. (Although I'd probably prefer a side part for the hair.) There's a reason why she made it into my best makeup looks of 2010: this tone-on-tone, nude lip thing really works for her.
Kristen Stewart
Not much to say except that I like this hair colour on her.
Minka Kelly
I think Minka Kelly is sooooo pretty, if not a bit too boobalicious here. Love this loose updo (watch this vid for an easy DIY cheat) and the peachy makeup.
Malin Akerman
I wasn't sure if I should classify this as "good" or "boring," but ultimately the former won out. I like the hair and the eye makeup... all soft but it works. Do you agree?
The Boring
Taylor Swift
After my rant about beauty ruts, you knew T-Swizzle would be in this section! Ah well.. she still looks really pretty. She has great skin, no?
Emma Roberts
Well, it's an improvement over that copper eyeshadow Gothic disaster at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. But I find myself longing for Emma to wear a bright lipstick. Wouldn't that be nice? This is sort of blah.
Katy Perry
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is your schtick, Katy, we get it. But it's covering up all your prettiness and you know what? You looked so much cuter when you rocked the straight, shoulder-length hair with bangs (and didn't wear this Crazy Town pink Barbie lipstick all the time). Time to change things up, please.
Jennifer Aniston
No surprise—does the Aniston EVER take risks on the red carpet? Particularly boring here though, I must say.
Kim Kardashian
So I see Kim is still applying her makeup with a trowel. Shocka!
Natalie Portman
Forgiven because she's knocked up. (And she didn't walk the red carpet, hence the low-quality in-show pic.)
Just Wrong
Ashley Tisdale
Someone didn't get the message that it's 2011 now—not 2001. Obviously fake tans and shimmer *everywhere* (as you know if you read this) is incredibly dated-looking. Also: is it just me or does Ash look EXACTLY like a young Donna Karan?
Khloé Kardashian
I can't believe I'm covering two Kardashians in one post. Moving on... I'm sure you will agree that this hair colour is not a good look for Khloé. Do not like. And you know what? I actually think Khloé is quite pretty, although I never used to until I got sucked into a Keeping Up with the Kardashians TV marathon (!!) over the holidays. She looked really great when she wore her hair dark, straight, with bangs and LOTS of eyeliner.
Honestly, I never quite understand it when people who have naturally gorgeous, dark shiny hair want to dye it red. WHY???
Anyway, tell me—
Did you watch the People's Choice Awards?
Were you impressed or bored with the celebrity beauty parade?
Keeping Up with the Kardashians is surprisingly (and embarrassingly) entertaining, isn't it?
