(photo: @mikamatin)

No one gets through life unscathed. And while it is 0% your fault that these things happen to you, it is 100% your responsibility to deal with the aftermath of what your situation has given to you.

I had one client a few years ago who blamed all of his life’s shortcomings on the fact that his father had been largely absent during his childhood.

Having emotionally unavailable parents is a hinderance, no doubt. So is having one of your best friends die. So is being raped. So is being bullied for years. So are a lot of things that happen to people, every day, around the world.

Is The Portrayal of the Wild West In Movies and TV Accurate?

wild west portrayal

The real wild west most often depicted was the time of the cattle drives and wild cattle towns. The truth of the matter is that period lasted only about twenty years. It started after the Civil War in 1866 when the demand for beef rose and wild cattle from Texas was the answer only there were no rail roads to take them east except those up north. So cattle drives began to satisfy the demand for beef.

Park ranger takes a selfie with the orphaned gorillas Nkakazi and Ndeze

The image was taken at a gorilla orphanage in Virunga National Park, DR Congo, where the animals were raised after poachers killed their parents.

Compliment her efforts, and if you make her blush, even better.
