Medea’s heart has already turned cold by the loss of her husband to another woman and the loss of her…

The Fifth Child Notes Pages 1-10: ● Harriet and David met at an office party at which both of them were the odd ones out. They were seen in a different light than the rest, “conservative”, “old-fashioned”, “obsolescent”, “timid, hard to please”. (Pg 3) ● The office party was held because it was the end of the year.

Every one of us have innate patterns of communicating with others that govern how we operate on a daily basis. These patterns are often exaggerated and more influential when dealing with those we are closest with. For most people this means that our family systems are greatly impacted by how we interact with others. These interactions can take the form of both verbal and nonverbal communication. In her book, The New People Making, Virginia Satir describes four styles of destructive…

world. I have a 3 year old daughter named Kaitlyn, and she is the sweetest, most beautiful girl in the world. I have been with their father, Brian, since 2006, and I love him.

Coming Together We had always traveled together. My family, and two others. This was the year 2012, middle of December. My uncle and his kids decided to drive to Mexico a few days before us.

It was the fall of 2002; it was a very cold and windy fall. The leaves on the trees were almost all off, and snow was just starting to lightly come down from the sky. It was just another normal day for Jennifer, going to work to make some more money to pay bills and everything else that needed to be paid off. Although one day at home, it struck her like no other - the excruciating pain that once consumes her again fills her whole body. This time it was worse, so bad that all she could think…

was selling his land. The Japanese man and his family were generous to my father by only asking $30,000 for 20 acres of land.
