Saying goodbye to the clan leader, Dondorian was one of the hardest things Moira had ever done. Her large amber eyes glistened with the strain of the moment, for it had the feel of forever to it. He was a savior, a father, a friend. It was he that set her free as a young slave. And he who invited her into his wagon as a child of his own. It was he that wrapped her in a hug that communicated more to her than he would ever voice. "We adapt, survive, maintain, circle through, but we come home.…

was captivated. There was something about her, the way she stared at the ominous dark blue sky and seemed to find something brilliant in it with every glance up, the way she gently stroked the lake and moved with grace in the slightest movements. No one really takes the kind of time she was taking to do such a small task, to see. Not just look, but to really see, with her heart and soul. I look, but I am not certain I always see. I think a lot; it’s necessary for my field. I realized how long I…

of the One who saved me, Jesus Christ. My salvation is fully reliant on Jesus and nothing I have done. I was raised by two Christian parents, who deeply love the Lord.

The Positive Effects Social Media has on Body Image According to Jim Salter’s article, (2013) the thigh gap is where one can stand with their feet together and her thighs do not touch. This is a dangerous weight-loss goal that young females are trying to obtain. Although specialists have said that achieving this goal is, “risky and virtually impossible.” Some very thin models have this gap which makes it enough to be held as a beauty achievement on many social media sites.
