In the digital age of dating, apps have revolutionized the way that people meet & find potential partners. With the mass adoption of these dating apps, however, competing for swipes has become a new challenge for those looking for love online. Many apps have been prioritizing subscriptions and pay-walls to unlock features that increase (potentially) a users’ potential for matching with others, though with the increase in prominence of sex-positivity in modern dating culture - sharing STD testing status with knō is becoming the unexpected hero for many users’ dating profiles. Results that were once heavily guarded, or otherwise private, are now becoming signals to potential romantic partners that you’re responsible and care for your sexual health.
The Ease of knō-ing
One of the key reasons why people are turning to sharing their STD testing status with knō is the sheer ease of an otherwise difficult process - not to mention the potential benefits for your swiping habits. knō allows users to easily find order a knō kit through the knō app with a few taps on their smartphone screens, collect their sample at home, and access essential information about their STD results right in the knō app. So easy.
Discussing STDs has always been somewhat taboo - or at the very least incredibly awkward. This has made it challenging for many to broach the topic with potential partners; if they have the conversation at all! However, knō is setting out to help to break down this stigma by fostering open conversations about sexual health by planting the seed before users even match. By having the knō logo on your dating profile photo, potential matches will already know that you’ve tested, and will be more likely to have the conversation - when the time is right. This shift towards transparency and responsibility is crucial to not only reducing the spread of STDs, but focusing on the fun aspects of dating instead of the awkwardness of talking about testing.
Protecting Personal Health
For many - personal health is becoming more and more of a top priority, especially when engaging in sexual activities with new partners. Getting tested for STDs through knō allows individuals to take control of their sexual health. Regular testing not only safeguards your well-being but also demonstrates a commitment to the health and safety of your potential partners - particularly in a world full of open relationships, throuples & ENM. It's a proactive step toward dating like you mean it!
Trust is a fundamental aspect of any successful relationship. By openly sharing their STD testing status on dating apps by adding the knō logo to their profiel photos - users build trust and transparency with potential partners. Knowing that both parties have prioritized their sexual health can lead to more meaningful and honest connections; or at least more worry free orgasms.
Safer Dating Practices
Incorporating STD testing into the dating app by adding the knō logo to your dating app profile pics promotes safer sex practices - simple right? When individuals are aware of their testing status and that of their partners, they can make informed decisions about using protection and engaging in sexual activities. For sure, we’ve all be heard, “I hate condoms.” Or, “I’ve only been with one other person since my last test!” And while this may be true - that doesn’t necessarily mean that a lack of a test is a sure thing - or that everyone is 100% honest about their sexual history. While body counts aren’t necessarily an indicator of sexual wellness, and we’re not out to shame anyone - regardless of how many partners they’ve had - the knowledge that knō provides its users empowers them to protect themselves and their partners from potential risks by making informed decisions and having necessary conversations with their partner (or partners).
Peace of Mind
Dating can be an exciting but sometimes nerve-wracking experience. Knowing that you and your potential partner (or partners) are free from STDs can provide peace of mind and allow you to focus on building a deeper (heh) connection without the constant worry of potential health risks; and - of course - keep your genitals fresh.
As the world of online dating continues to evolve, so do the tools available to promote responsible and safe interactions - and broadcast just what a great match you are to potential partner(s). The increasing trend of sharing testing status with knō on dating apps highlights a positive shift toward more responsible dating practices. By prioritizing your sexual health and openly discussing STD testing, you can enjoy the benefits of modern dating apps while minimizing potential risks. Remember, a healthy dating life starts with a commitment to your own well-being and that of your potential partners. And - as always - if they don’t knō, don’t f*ck them (our lawyers have reminded us to remind you that this statement is NOT meant as medical advice).


You know I’m bad at communication
It’s hardest thing for me to do
And they say it's the most important part
That relationships go through
And I gave it all away just, so I could say that well
I know I know I know I know
That you’re gonna be okay anyway.

When you love what you do and you have a family this fun, is it wrong to call it work?
The semi-complete list as to why this shoot was awesome:
1) Mother's Day.
2) Three generations.
3) Can we say "photogenic"?
4) First family portrait in...we'll just say a "few" years.
5) No rain this time...barely ;)
6) You, Dear P family, were fun...and nice...and easy-going...and everything that makes up a great family. You helped me lug around my gear, to boot. Thank you! :)
On with your sneak peek!
I cannot wait to get together with you and show you the rest! Thank you for being such an amazing family to work with! Dodging the ducks and beating the lightning siren only added to the excitement. ;)


Masha told Glasnaya about how the father she used to adore turned into a monster and why the adults never suspected anything.
Alex is 18, she loves hanging out with her friends, horse riding, camping, and her mom. Her mom’s name is Mariko, she is 39, and she is in a polyamorous relationship with her girlfriend. The interview for Glasnaya was the first time for Alex and Mariko to publicly speak about their life and sexuality.
According to surveys, 27% of Russian men are prepared to take parental leave. However, only 2% of all parents who took parental leave were men.

There’s always that couple. You know the one. They’re just a little too loving. A little too happy. A little too…unbelievable? Sometimes Chaos Boy and I imagine that people must think we’re that couple. We can’t possibly be that happy, right?
To believe the answer to that question, you have to know where we’ve been. We were high school sweethearts. We broke up after our first year of college. His being at the Naval Academy was just too much for me, and I handled it very badly. That was 1990.
We both married and had kids with other people. (This is the third marriage for each of us.) We found each other on MySpace (remember MySpace?) a little over 5 1/2 years ago. Within 3 months of reconnecting, Chaos Boy moved me and my daughters from Oklahoma to California so that we could have a real life together.
Through all of those years apart, neither of us ever forgot the other. And during these five amazing years of marriage, neither of us has forgotten all that we learned about love and relationships in the time we were apart. We place an immeasurable value on our marriage, on this life we’ve built.
Not every girl gets a second chance with her first love. In fact, I’m sure it’s a pretty rare thing.
And yes. It really does make you that happy to be together.


While on the subject of TV, my rejection of all things "Saas-Bahu" was known to many. Some implored me to watch "Comedy Nights with Kapil" for "clean wholesome family entertainment". And I committed the sin of believing them. Life came back a full circle. Bittu Sharma and his inanity failed to impress me : the purist in me, as well as the feminist in me. It made me wince, it made me cringe and it made me feel grateful that I had retained some common sense in not asking my kids to watch it in the name of "clean, wholesome, family entertainment".
Kapil Sharma and his comedy nights thrive on misogyny. It is unbearable to watch the way he makes fun of his wife and in-laws. Is that why he is so popular? Because making fun of their wives and their in-laws is considered the favourite past-time of most Indian men? It seems most likely. Fifty percent of the jokes circulated on social media are about wives. Most of this fifty percent is also about in-laws. And the phenomenon is not uncommon in the West either. Jokes about men fearing their mother-in-law visiting them are quite common but funny too. Why men in the West get away with mother-in-law jokes is because of their social and family structure, and hence the jokes are, well, actually just jokes.
However. in India, where women and their parents are always looked down by the husband and his parents, such a situation is given social sanction by such widely watched shows. In real life Indian society, the groom's parents consider it their divine right to demand and get the right dowry (read price) for their son. Brides are burnt for not fulfilling the never-ending demands of their in-laws. Bittu Sharma repeats ad nauseum the theme of his wife being bad-looking and not bringing any dowry. This is socially irresponsible to say the least. That it leads to further degradation of the social status of women is the greater harm such shows bring.What is disgusting about Bittu Sharma's treatment of his wife and in-laws is his male arrogance which is reflected in his absolutely condescending behaviour towards them. He doesn't dislike his wife because she is better looking or better read than him. He dislikes her because he thinks she is too bad to look at and didn't bring anything as dowry. He looks down on her as if she were something the cat-brought-in. The same goes for the in-laws too. And that's not all. His wife puts up with it. She may protest but she stays on the show. So, the message being sent out is even if the husband ill-treats the wife and her family, they may protest, but they must put up with it, because they don't matter. Their feelings don't matter. They better be used to it.
Many may defend him saying it is just a comedy show. Oh really? Crack a joke at someone's religion and see how riots spring up. Here you are demeaning an entire gender, which comprises about 45 % of the population, when ideally it should be 50 %. This skewed population ratio has a direct relationship with kind of ideology Bittu Sharma represents: women are to be made fun of, women are second class citizens. They are supposed to look good and bring sufficient dowry with them. Good looks and dowry. Nothing else matters. Not their education. Not their personality. Not their emotions and feelings. Not their economic or social productivity.
Hence, it is difficult and humiliating being parents of a woman, or girl child. And riots don't happen because such shows reinforce the social mores which say that women are inferior to men and it doesn't matter how they are treated. Most women's parents too believe the same, and hence keep quiet though their hearts may be bleeding within. Just like the wife and her family on the show.
As for "clean, wholesome family entertainment", even "some" is not clean, what to say of the "whole". And as for "family", well, have a look at Bittu's family.The married but flirtatious Bittu, the horny Dadi with her corny dialogues, cross-dressed men with crassly-dressed double entendres, the embarrased guests, the beautiful "temptations" visiting Bittu............they make one sit up and say, "Kya hai yeh?!"
So much for "clean, wholesome entertainment". Those who love it may continue to do so, but beware of the harm you are bringing to society, and especially your children, by giving them a crass, skewed view of society in general, and women in particular. And tomorrow when your daughter is treated like Bittu's wife.......don't say you weren't warned.


In life there are so many ways to show someone that you care about them and even more strategies used to get their attention! It’s amazing the amount of money, time and effort some people will put into looking good, driving a nice car, or having the best of everything in order to be viewed a particular way by someone they find attractive. Lately I’ve been taking a different approach to showing I care and in a more in-depth way.
For the past week I have been studying the things that gets God’s attention. I did this because I realized that a relationship with God is similar to a relationship between a husband and wife! When you’re married (or even in a relationship) you learn the things that makes your spouse happy, and purpose to do those things on a regular basis (happy wife, happy life!) Communication with your mate is important so that you’re aware of the things that upsets one another. You also can come to a mutual understanding of how to overcome many issues.
God does the same thing with us! He wants to make sure that our relationship with him is strong, healthy and on one accord. He accomplishes this by communicating with us when we spend time with him and even throughout our day (when we listen). Often times He gives us an intuitive feeling, followed with a sign of confirmation or a personal conversation when He’s disappointed by something we’ve said or done. We should want our relationship with him to be comparable to a “power couple”. A bond that is in-sync, uplifting, empowering, and most importantly ….unstoppable!
I DARE you to find what you can do to in your own personal life to get God’s attention and grow your relationship with him. It’s safe to say that we all want a “power couple” status somewhere in our lives, so why not start with God! 🙂

“To live according to God is to love” said Saint Francis de Sales.
My friend Kim Rumsmoke Kashian demonstrated that love every time she talked with her family and friends, always closing with “love ya!” I asked her why she did this when, at the end of a conversation, she said it to me. Followed by “well, I’m waiting…”
She said we’d never know when it would be the last time we’d see or talk with our friends. It was important to let people know that you loved and appreciated them. Kim wasn’t afraid of sharing her love with us. Even if you heard it from her and said it to her a hundred times, you knew how that hundred and first conversation was going to end.
What a tremendous gift she gave us to remember her by! Those two simple words that she repeated many times. I’ll never be able to read or hear “love ya!” without hearing her voice, remembering her laugh and smile and her spirit.
When we share our love for each other, and particularly with her family in the coming months and years, we are remembering Kim. And it’s so easy to do.
I’ll see you again buddy.
P.S. If you don’t know who Kim Kashian is, watch this. A remarkable woman and friend. She begins speaking at 3:03.
Sorry for your loss – Love ya….
Thanks Lou. Love ya!


Dear Ann Cannon • I am a newly divorced woman in my early 50s with two grown boys in their 20s. I have been in my first post-divorce relationship — actually my first post-divorce anything — for eight months with a wonderful man my age who I was not looking for or expected when we first met. He is everything I would want in a post-divorce relationship: funny, no drama, honest, trusting to a fault, fun to be around and has included me in all of his interests and hobbies that I would never have experienced before meeting him. His married situation and cause of divorce almost mirror my own experience, yet we don’t dwell on it or make that the reason we are together now.
With that being said, I have not met his family or his kids. In the beginning, we talked about his younger pre-teen daughter who had a rougher time with the divorce than his older almost 20-year-old daughter, even though they both knew it was the best thing to happen. That was two years ago, and from everything he tells me, she is doing fine. They are very close and I respect his time with her and he appreciates that. Here is my dilemma: I have not met his family or his kids, yet he has met part of my family and both of my kids over the last few months willingly. Additionally, his entire family and oldest daughter knows he has been seeing someone for the length of the relationship and has noticed how happy he has been. I feel like he should want his family to meet me at this point, even if it is family first, then his kids, etc. He has never acted ashamed or embarrassed of me so I don’t believe this is the case at all.
Am I being unrealistic in thinking this is a natural next step that he would want his family to meet the person he says makes him so happy and is in love with? I have not asked if or when this will happen. I don’t bring it up and neither does he, other than an occasional comment from his family that he will share with me regarding a question or comment about me or us. Yet we talk to each other about everything else. I only ask because I am starting to feel excluded and I don’t want to build any kind of resentment — subconsciously or otherwise — over this, especially given how we feel about each other and how happy we both are together. Any words of wisdom that may help me put this in perspective?
— Wishful Thinking
Dear Wishful Thinking • No, I don’t think you’re being unrealistic. Meeting his family does seem like a natural next step. He may, however, want to keep his lives separate. Some people do operate that way. Or perhaps there are other reasons he hasn’t introduced you to his family. You can’t know what his motives are, however, unless the two of you have a conversation. My friend, who’s a therapist, had this to say about your situation: “My gut reaction is to have her ask about it rather than wonder and assume things. If he’s all that wonderful, then it’s a great time to practice open and honest communication.”
Bringing up the subject with him will also allow both of you to share your desires for and expectations about your relationship. You may or may not want the same things, but at least you’ll both know where you stand, right?
Good luck. I wish you and your partner the very best.


This wine is combined with Red Jasper stone and Raw Crystal and it provides an interconnection with the Earth. It evokes an intimate relationship between the human being and nature. It has a calming effect and brings you the feeling of solidarity which is the foundation of existence.
Earth, soil, nature and forest represents the synchronicity between the floral and animal worlds. A good example of this synchronicity is the bee, whose life depends on the flower, and the flower, which depends on the bee and us, as human beings, who benefit from this spectacular harmony.
This wine is combined with Citrine and Crystal and it evokes the feelings of playfulness and good moods. It gives you the power to express your feelings, mood and opinions. It releases a good atmosphere, emotions and it encourages you to communicate without boundaries. It empowers you to talk to yourself, to your friends and partners.
A small child with a smile on his face is running towards his mother and while hugging her he is saying: “Mum, I love you!” He has no boundaries, no shame. He is natural, honest, and free. The child expresses his feelings, he is not forced to keep it inside himself, he is satisfied. You should also express your feelings, do not gather them inside yourself. Be honest to yourself and it will lead you to freedom.
This lovely, harmonic, gentle and passionate wine combined with Carnelian and Rose Quartz stone evokes the love, passion, desire, emotions, essential instincts… a connection between two people, synchronicity between their souls and bodies.
Desire and passion are connected to each other with unconditional love. They are connected with a love which makes you feel free and gives you a sense of being. Forget about your boundaries and do not block your instincts and desires to your fateful love. You should give your love and feelings and you will get back the same. Unconditional love is happiness and satisfaction. Do not think about yourself but about those who you want to give your love to, and then the love will come back to you and you can share it.


Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Him
Following on from my Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Her I also wanted to share a gift guide for him too, if you were in need of some inspiration for your partner or male friend in your life. 🙂
Love is in the air! And that in no way means that you have to be in a relationship to be able to experience love around you. Whether you’re with your partner or just a bunch of pals, sometimes it’s nice to just get them a little something to remind them of how much they mean to you! So in preparation for Valentine’s Day next week, I’ve picked some of my fave gifts that you can give to your special someone.
Hope you’ve been having a wonderful week. 🙂 I’ve been trying to stay on top of my YouTube uploads and if you haven’t already seen, I have a few new videos on my channel! One of my most recent videos is my first What’s In My Bag video and a Gucci Soho Disco bag review.

Easy to feel but hard to define, LOVE is a paradox that manifests itself through countless forms in and around us. It’s the universal language that gives us purpose and meaning in the relationships we have, the work that we do and the dreams that we seek.
People love and experience love differently. It can make perfect sense, and sometimes none at all. Whatever it gives you, it challenges at the same time. Love is life’s biggest contradiction. At it’s best love can fill us with tremendous joy and happiness. When love is lacking in us, it can lead to self-destruction, false ideals and heartbreak. Whatever the journey love takes us on, we all experience it in one way or another. It is at the core of our being – a desire that never expires.
In this issue we explore love in some of its ever-varying forms. From the bonds we share with siblings, lovers and friends, to the love we feel within us, and how it influences the surroundings we create. We talk to Filmmaker and Director Frédéric Tcheng about his love affair with film, and his passion for showing all sides to a story.
Best friends and bandmates Lolawolf talk us through their journey from hanging out as neighbours, to creating successful music together. We delve into the intimacy of creating work as a couple music duo OOFJ, and learn about how opposites not only attract, but can perfectly compliment each other. Poet and writer Robert M. Drake shares stories about the love that influences his words, and the sadness he feels from not being able to share his work with those that he loves the most.
Artist Zackary Drucker reminds us that loving yourself is a daily process, and that loving oneself is the only way to love another person. We explore lack of self-love with photographer and artist Ji Yeo, and learn how she faced her own insecurities through art. Fashion rebel Chris Lee Sauve chats to us about cultural obsession, false idols and the relationship between love and fashion.
Art directors, photographers and twin brothers Jalan and Jamel Durimel explain the importance of honestly in any relationship, sharing a state of mind with someone and growing with them. Mercury Music Prize 2014 winners Young Fathers teach us about organic friendships and creating authentic music.
Photographer Sophie Green explains us how she finds creativity and inspiration in a deep compassion for other people and their stories. Finally, artist Davina Semo describes love as an experience and journey through a complexity of emotions that unconsciously reflect in her work.
Enjoy and love, always!


Daddy was crafted as a special Telefilm to celebrate Father’s Day and the project was aired on HUM TV on Father’s Day. The film was about an unmarried writer who does not like children and one day he came across a girl of 05 years who incidentally enter his apartment. Initially, the writer does not accept the girl and misbehaves with the girl but later slowly he attached to the girl. He tries to find her parents as well but when he did not find them he accepts the girl as his daughter and started taking care of her. The main objective of the project was to communicate the fathers how to take care of children who are near to the age of 05 years. During the film, he takes care of the food and nutrition balance of the girl, when she gets ill he provides complete care and nursing, took care of her education and development, and hence, in the end, he becomes a complete parenting father. Emotional scenes and sensitive communication between father and daughter had made it interesting and sensitive and it gives a complete message with entertainment that what are the responsibilities of a parenting father and how can he achieve it. This also celebrates Fatherhood and the relationship of a father and daughter.

You had me feeling helpless,
In your honeyed hurricane wake.
You left me laying like a driftwood sculpture,
On the sand.
I want you to know,
I don't understand things the way you do.
God scares the Hell out of me.
I hack up my sins,
And spit them in the sink,
Before I kiss you.
I don't want you to taste my lack of faith.
I should have written you a love song instead,
But words can't be pawned like violins.
I never meant to tell you the truth,
But the truth is,
I always want to live in your mind,
As the one that never hurt that bad.
I want to make a splash in your life.
Like cherries dropped on sundaes from skyscrapers.
Now there's whipped mess everywhere.
What the hell was I thinking?
I guess love was never meant to be clean.
I really should have written you a love song.
But excuses are made of rain,
So you'll get this instead.


The conformal systole is related to the stable systole in a nontrivial way. The conformal systole is defined in terms of the L^2 norm in homology, while the stable systole is defined in terms of the stable norm in homology. More precisely, each of the systoles is the first successive minimum of the integer lattice in 2-dimensional homology with respect to the corresponding norm.
Unlike the relationship between the two systoles (conformal and stable), the relationship between the two norms is clear. The conformal norm is the supremum of the stable norm, over all metrics in the given conformal class. This relationship does not, however, translate into any immediate relationship between the conformal systole and the stable systole. Thus, there is still no non-trivial existence results for the stable systole, i.e. metrics with interesting asymptotic behavior of the stable systole.
For instance, the conformal systole of the sum of n copies of the complex projective plane is precisely 1, since the L^2 norm coincides with the intersection form in this signature. Therefore one also has a uniform upper bound for the stable systole of these manifolds. It is unknown whether the stable 2-systole has to tend to zero when n tends to infinity.
For the connected sum of n complex projective planes P and 1 copy of P
with the opposite orientation, we already mentioned the existence
results in the form of polynomial lower bounds for the conformal
systole. It would be interesting to apply such lower bounds to
construct metrics with nontrivial behavior of the stable 2-systole in
these manifolds. So far there are no lower bounds for the stable
systole that would distinguish the family with definite intersection
form from the family with indefinite intersection form.

Comment on the Single Marriage Statute: Implications for Customary Marriages
Keywords:Single Marriage Statute; customary marriage; South African family law
The South African Law Reform Commission is currently canvassing views on a potential single marriage statute that would reconcile the several enactments currently regulating marriage in South Africa. This comment considers the implications of the proposed Bill for the regulation of customary marriages. It argues that the definition of a marriage / life partnership may be under-inclusive and must be expanded to included polygamous – rather than polygynous – relationships without a religious or cultural basis and life partnerships where the partners are not cohabitants. Furthermore, while the Bill is commended for requiring a husband to obtain the consent of existing wives before he enters into a further customary marriage, the Bill must give meaning to the notion of consent. Finally, the Bill must address existing issues within the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998 which have invalidated a range of customary marriages too often at the expense of women.

Second post from my lenten pledge -- first based on a suggested topic, but I've taken on this challenge.
When dealing with "suitors" (in the days before I was an old, married lady), I've always had a pretty strong bullshit detector and with the first sign of false intentions I was out of there! So we'll start with that:
- Be honest and be yourself, as much as you actually know yourself. Don't try to be what you think she wants in a man, because if that works in the beginning, it won't work for long. Unless you are looking for a ditzy, shallow girl, then go ahead and tell her anything you want. A substantial woman will appreciate you for your flaws as much as for your good points.
- Engage in two way conversations; asking questions to find out about her interests, her life and who she really is and balance it out with information on you -- not just listing off like a CV, but follow the conversation and see if it takes you where you both want to go. Really listen to what she has to say and remember for future reference and perhaps some opportunities for nice surprises.
- Be a gentlemen. Now I've said 'be yourself' and that may not really be who you think you are, but there's nothing wrong with being considerate and caring. If you think it may not be you, try it out, you may find you like it. If not, you may be limiting the type of woman that is really for you. I've always considered myself liberated and open my own doors, pay for my share of dinner, etc. but there's nothing like having someone do things for you for a change.
- Appreciate the real lady in her. Maybe she's not the type that's always in full make up, high heels, etc. but inside we are all a bit of sugar and spice and a bit of romance and appreciation can go very far.
- Get to know her friends and family -- not in a plotting kind of way, but in a I'm interested in you and want to know more way. You'll get insight into her and it will also give you more information on whether this is a person that you may want to go further with.
- Find an opportunity to give a small but relevant gift. Is it around the holidays or her birthday (often awkward as you don't know what's expected early on in a relationship) or is there another occasion that would merit a gift (i.e. promotion, house warming, etc.)? Present her with a thoughtful gift -- get ideas from all the listening you've been doing about what she's interested in. (My husband and I still joke about the first time we spoke and he bought me a pack of honey roasted nuts.)
Most of all, be sure that this is someone that you really do want to woo. You can see from the points above that it takes time and effort and you shouldn't lower your expections. Women have girlfriends to talk to and ladies magazines to read about this sort of thing, but men usually have to deal with their this sort of emotional stuff on their own. I'm sure that a lot of you men out there settle for second best just to have someone in your life. (I'm talking about something different than a one night stand, and if you are one of those dogs just looking to get a woman in bed than I hope you find a woman just like yourself or I know a website where you can get yourself a useful little doll.)
If you know what you are looking for in the woman in your life, it'll be easier to find her -- and woo her.
Good luck lads, and I'd love to hear how it goes for you. Post your comments and ideas here!

What if the world stops? Would you care? Would you be mourning about my death for years? How will i know you care? How will i know you really loved me? What if you didn't.
If my heart says yes
I say no
If my heart so go
If my heart tells me he's the one
What if he breaks my heart?
What if my heart leads me wrong?
I tell my friends.
They say it gets easier,
after it happens again.
i can't make it through this one.
Why do it again?
Why have someone else say they love you,
when they break your heart?
What's it worth?
if someone really loves you, they wouldn't let you go, no matter what. If they really loved you, they would hold you, whenever. Wipe away your tears. Make you smile
if they really loved you.


"It took you forever to ask me, by the way. It was driving me crazy! I was ready to ask
"I had to finish the house first!"
"So that's why you dumped me so fast after each date. I thought you were getting tired
"No!...quite the opposite actually…"
"It's just that I knew every day that passed by without me finishing would be another night I had to say goodbye to you at the door…and it was getting hard."
"…but you never asked to stay did you?"
"I didn't want to. Not without a promise."
*he holds his left hand up, showing the wedding ring*
"Darling, staying overnight with someone hardly counts as love, let alone a promise of it. I remember my father told me something about it before I left. He said, 'If you love her that much you won't want her walking out the door without a promise that she'll return and that you'll be waiting for her when she does' How could I ask to stay without knowing if tomorrow would last? What if you changed your mind? What if it didn't work out? What if something came up? And how could I leave you wondering the same things?… No, I wanted to walk into a home with you. A home built on a promise longer than one night…Also, you never asked me to stay. Thank you."
"Well, from an early age I knew I wanted to marry someday…and I always thought 'how could I ever look him in the eyes and tell him I loved him if I had other moments in my past?' I couldn't, wouldn't, didn't. My line of work is dominated by men. I had to quickly learn to set boundaries…even for you, but you never pressed me, and I didn't want to either. I could see what we had. I didn't need a night before the promise."
*Shows her own wedding ring and then takes his left hand and laces her fingers between
his* "You're my first and only."
"I love you Tammy Jean."
"I love you Felix."


Did you recently find out that your partner is pregnant? Are you feeling anxious? Frustrated? Full of questions? No matter what you’re feeling, your experience is understandable and valid.
At Safe Harbor, we’re here for you. We offer no-cost support services for men, such as fatherhood mentoring classes and peer counseling.
Contact us today if you’re overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. We can help.
My Partner Is Pregnant. What Should I Do?
Finding out your partner is unexpectedly pregnant can be scary. Pregnancy can feel like a mountain suddenly blocking your path when pregnancy isn’t in your plans.
But when you work with your partner and sort through your feelings with people you trust, your worries, fears, and anxieties will lessen. And what you thought was a mountain will become an opportunity on the horizon.
First things first, though. If your partner recently told you she’s pregnant, the most important thing you can do is offer your support.
Whatever you’re feeling, she’s likely feeling it one hundred times more since the responsibility about how to move forward is ultimately her choice to make.
No matter whether you plan on staying together or not, you can show your support in the following ways:
- Actively listen. Your partner needs someone to talk to right now, and you can listen the best since you understand what she’s going through. When your partner shares her feelings, you can demonstrate that you’re actively listening by looking into her eyes and not being distracted (by a phone, TV, etc.). You can also ask her follow-up questions that encourage her to go deeper.
- Help her get what she needs. Your partner will likely have many appointments coming up, and maybe she’ll be craving certain foods or need specific medications, vitamins, etc. You can help her in this effort by attending appointments with her and running errands for her.
- Share your feelings without making her feel pressured. Your feelings are valid, and you play an essential role in this pregnancy. However, if your partner feels pressured into making a pregnancy decision that she disagrees with, she’s more likely to experience mental health complications like depression and anxiety.
What If I Don’t Agree With My Partner’s Pregnancy Decision?
You and your partner might disagree on how to proceed with the pregnancy. And you both likely have specific reasons for wanting to make a certain pregnancy decision.
Both of your feelings are understandable, but it’s important to keep in mind that the pregnancy decision is ultimately your partner’s choice to make.
However, this doesn’t mean you should keep your feelings bottled up. Instead, it can be helpful for you and your partner to share your feelings with a neutral third party.
At Safe Harbor, we offer no-cost options counseling appointments. During this time, you two will meet with a peer counselor who will provide you both with medically accurate information about each pregnancy option.
Then, you will both be given the space to ask questions and work through your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental space.
Sometimes, learning more and having the opportunity to talk will help you and your partner find a middle ground and understand each other’s perspectives.
You and your partner aren’t alone in this. Contact us today to schedule a no-cost, confidential appointment.


Who we are and what we did. I was blessed with not one, but TWO BIRTHDAY GIRLS today. What a wonderful morning! Thank you, ladies for spending your birthdays with me. @Dana Hembling @melissa phillips (AKA Journal Girl) I hope you both had a wonderful day. What a blessing the two of you are!

Picture yourself, instead of heading to work this morning, waking up next to your partner in an Italian hotel. You have nothing on your calendar.
You sip a cappuccino on an outdoor terrace together and feel the sun on your face as you discuss your pleasurable options for the day, which don't include any of the following: deadlines, cooking and cleaning, running errands or any form of responsibility.A romantic getaway can reinvigorate your relationship in many ways.
The health of any connection can gradually suffer when doing the same thing day after day. Monotony is the enemy of passion and you can lose the spark you feel if you don’t make an effort to keep it burning.
The excitement of a romantic getaway, with all the novelty, excitement and just peaceful time together that it offers, can re-ignite your relationship and create new memories.
It Gives You Time To Be Romantic
If you and your partner both have busy, hectic careers then it may be hard to find the time to spend with each other, away from children and other distractions. You need time alone to work on maintaining a healthy relationship.
How often are you truly romantic with your partner back home? If you are honest with yourself it’s probably not that frequent, because your mind may be somewhere else much of the time and it doesn't feel like a priority. When you are away from home, you can focus on each other.
A romantic getaway creates the time you need to reconnect and rediscover that passion you have for one another. The mood shifts and you can do romantic things that you most likely did when you first began to fall in love.
Even simple things that you may already do together, such as taking an evening walk under the moonlight sky, take on new significance when done in a new and thrilling place.
It’s A Positive, Energetic Environment
Arriving at a romantic destination instantly creates a romantic mood. The environment is instantly strange and new, which creates a positive vibe that allows you to see and appreciate your partner in a different way.
This allows the two of you to enjoy fresh experiences, build new connections, open up to each other, have more fun, and basically feel closer every day.
This emotional energy is unique because it comes from being in an unfamiliar environment and experiencing new things together, such as foods and adventures. The best part is you can take the experience and memories back home with you, helping to keep the renewed connection and passion alive.
If you feel like you are in need of a more romance with your partner, then it’s probably because you do need to slow down and appreciate each other again. Responsibilities at work and other life obligations make it tough for couples to spend enough time alone with each other.
There is nothing better than seeing new places and trying new things together to keep a relationship thriving. Find out when you and your partner can take some time off together. Make a plan to spend at least a week at a romantic destination and watch the fire and passion return to your relationship.

Andrea was on the verge of marrying her husband when disaster struck. Her father was diagnosed with cancer and passed away before he had the chance to see his daughter walk down the aisle. Women everywhere can certainly empathize with her and while this was certainly far from ideal, this story has a happy ending.
There is only one connection that can rival the bond that takes place between a father and a daughter and that is the bond between a brother and his sister. The brother in this story understood his sister’s pain and the plan that he came up with to alleviate his sister’s suffering on her special day is nothing short of spectacular.

Relationships after baby is HARD! In motherhood/parenthood, you're trying to do a million things and then also have to be like “hey, I can't forget my partner”.
When you have a baby with your partner, you absolutely fall more in love with them. But your relationship after having kids also comes with challenges. So much of my day is spent regulating my children's moods and my own mood that when my husband gets home, I often unload on him because I won't unload on the kids and when he comes home, I feel like I can finally relax. That can put a huge strain on a relationship.
I will start by saying that I am by no means an expert. My relationship is not perfect. But these are the things I have learned along the way.
There are moments of pure BLISS
Okay, first, just a couple of things everyone experiences.
Like I said, you 1000% love your partner more and see them in such a beautiful, new way once you have a baby with them. There are truly moments of absolute, pure, unbelievable bliss that you will experience.
It can be overwhelming and even make you cry about how utterly happy you are with your little family.
These moments are so beautiful. Soak them up.
Sex after baby
I have a whole blog post on sex after pregnancy/baby.
I need at least 6 months to recover before we can do this. And even at that point, I'm breastfeeding and my body goes “no!”. The sex drive is nowhere. Then you're hormones start to get the best of you and you're like wait, we're not having sex at all?!
Soon after I had my baby, I heard my husband talking about Susie the HR lady and I was like “who is Susie the HR lady?!” because your hormones are just insane and you're left alone with your baby all day and you're like “hmm I wonder who she is, I wonder if she's cute. I'm not giving him any so he probably needs to get it somewhere else”. I don't know. You feel crazy.
If this ever happens to you like it happened to me, talk. to. your. partner. I basically told my husband “um I heard you talking about Susie and my mind went all these crazy places because I'm hormonal and we haven't had sex in a really long time.” He responded like “are you serious? You really think I would go get that elsewhere when you're here with my baby?” and I said “uh yeah because I am crazy right now and kind of smell like BO, I have no rational thoughts, and I complain a lot right now”. He laughed at me and then told me she was 67 and followed that up with all the reassurance I needed. And I felt SO much better! So just talk to them about it. I've done it multiple times.
Tip #1: Practice asking for things
Alright, into my tips/learnings. I came up with 7 things that have helped me tremendously.
First, ask for what you need. This sounds so simple and yet it can be so hard. It's not easy for us to do that, but it makes a world of difference.
I will get so angry because Seth doesn't do the dishes while I'm putting the girls down for bed. He did the laundry, he folded all the blankets and picked up the toys but he DID NOT DO THE DISHES! First thing I needed to do was recognize and appreciate all of the things he did do. And then tell him how grateful I was. Then, the second thing I needed to do was tell him it would be so helpful to me for him to do the dishes. The one thing that really drives me nuts is the dishes. I can live with toys on the floor or half done laundry, but I cannot live with dirty dishes. Guess what?! He had no idea. Because I hadn't told him.
The best way to realize what things you need help with is to pay attention to when you have those moments where you feel resentment towards your partner. The moments when you're like boiling over with anger. Take a deep breath, try to figure out what's truly bothering you, and how you can productively ask for your partner's help with it…LATER! Wait until you're calmer to ask them for it.
Another thing I have realized is that your partner's brain is your logical brain. With all the hormones and the craziness, it can be hard to come up with simple solutions. But, when you explain to your partner like “hey, I need to figure out how I can get a shower in everyday, can you help me find a solution?” they're usually great and helping you out.
And other times, you need to tell your partner “I need to vent a little right now and I know you have fantastic solutions, but that's really not what I want right now. I just want you to listen and if it's in one ear and out the other, that's okay, I just need to get it out”.
Whatever it is that you need, usually when you ask for things clearly, your partner is super receptive.
Tip #2: Keep leaning in
Keep leaning in and believing that your partner is doing the best they can (just like you!).
My husband is super great about asking for time for himself when he needs it. He will say to me “can I just go take 20 minutes to myself upstairs? I need a break.”. And sometimes, I'm like “umm okay, but I never get a break”. Well, first of all, I rarely ask for a break. Second of all, he won't ask for a break unless he truly needs it. So, I need to come in with some compassion and say “yes, absolutely”. And then I can totally follow that up with, “and can I take one when you're done?”. (Or not, because I know he is only coming to me when he needs it and it can just serve as a reminder to do the same when I really need it).
He's not trying to make me angry, he's doing the best he can too, and we just need to lean in.
Tip #3: Talk about your goals together
I made a goal worksheet last year for New Year's because I am obsessed with setting goals and I wanted to do it with my partner. The beginning part is also a recap of everything we did well in the previous year too because that is super great to recognize as well. It also lays out actionable steps for how to achieve these things.
I have a goal worksheet template on my website that you can get. (The code HEYSHAYLA gets you a discount).
However you choose to do it, it is really helpful to talk all these things out to get on the same page and be able to better support each other in these dreams and goals.
Tip #4: Therapy is a great investment in your relationship
I've heard that the first four years of a baby's life is the hardest on your relationship because they are just so needy and reliant on you and that strains your relationship. Babies make your life so much brighter in so many ways but being able to put enough effort into your relationship is difficult, nonetheless. So much of your time and attention goes towards your children and it takes away time from the partnership.
I heard once that “my partner is my number one and our children are our number one” and I loved that so much. My husband and I need to keep our relationship to keep the family and then together, our children are our #1 priority.
So, for sure, if you need some therapy, GO! It's nice to have a third person to talk to and a new perspective that isn't directly involved. Whether it's solo therapy to help you navigate your relationship or couples therapy together, it can be so beneficial. If you feel you need it, don't hesitate to do it.
Tip #5: Learn your love languages
What do they need and what do you need? Is it physical touch that your partner needs from you? Do they need words of affirmation? Do they need more one on one time with you?
Figure out what theirs is and help them figure out what yours is. That way you guys can provide what each other needs and best support one another.
Tip #6: Take time to connect
Even if quality time isn't your (or your partner's) love language, you still will always need quality time together. This will look different than it used to. Maybe it used to be going to a baseball game together, going on a dinner date, taking a trip together. If you can still make it work to do all that, good for you, my friend!
Realistically, most of us probably can't do these things all that often. Connecting can look like so many things. It can be as simple as all of us snuggling in bed and he and I touching feet, or holding hands above the pillows.
And, MAKE EYE CONTACT. This is so underrated. There's so many times when I catch myself looking at my phone while my partner is trying to tell me something. It's so important to make a conscious effort to stop what I'm doing, look at him, and truly listen to him. Zeroing in and giving him undivided attention (even if it's just for a little bit) is HUGE!
Tip #7: Put yourself in their shoes
This is a big one. It kind of ties to #2. Your partner is doing the best they can too. And, when you take the time to see things from their perspective, it can be a game changer.
There's times where Seth will text me on his way home from work saying it's been a crazy day at work and when he gets home I'm like oh thank god I can take a shower, and a break, and he can watch the girls for a bit. Then I remember that he had just told me what an overwhelming day it was. Oh yeahhh. If I were him in that position, I would need a couple minutes to decompress before jumping into dad mode. So I give that to him and then he can give me the break I want.
Anytime you put yourself in the shoes of your partner (or anyone for that matter) you gain more understanding of their side, even if it's just a little bit. This goes a long way. The more you understand each other and the more in-tune you are with each other, the better off your relationship is.
Put in the work
The moral of the story is, you have to put in the work. Before I was married and had babies, if I was in a relationship and it was too challenging and felt like it wasn't really working out, I was like see ya, this is too much, I'm out. Totallyyy not the case anymore.
When Seth and I started dating, he told me “you can't just jump ship when things start to get hard” and I was like “uhhh yeah I do. What do you mean?”. He taught me that you work through things when they feel like they aren't working and aren't easy.
We both are now so committed to working very hard to keep leaning in, keep connecting, keep talking to each other, keep the spark alive, keep the relationship strong.
I hope these tips were helpful. The overarching theme is that it's okay (and normal) for your relationship to feel hard after having kids and that it's so important to give each other grace, communicate with your partner, put in the hard work, and soak in the blissful moments.

By: Susan Y Nikitenko
A little child reaches up;
For his mothers hold.
She puts him in her lap;
Her arms around him fold.
Comforted, “I love you mommy.”
She says, “I love you too.”
“Now it’s time for beddie bye.”
“You know what you must do.”
He kneels beside his little bed.
“Mommy, you come down too.”
He folds His little hands;
He Prays, until He’s through.
He climbs into His bed.
She tucks Him in real tight.
“Sweet Dreams, my little man.”
Then kisses him good night.
In peace now, from her love;
He drifts into sweet sleep.
Mama humbly bows her knees;
And silently she weeps.
“Lord, I ask you bless my boy;
To grow, and be like you.”
“Give me, the grace to teach him,”
“How to live and love you too.”
“Spread angel’s wings about him.”
“Protect him from this world.”
“Keep him in your perfect plan;
Living by your Holy Sword.” (Bible)
Are you like a child in need?
Is Jesus Christ your Lord?
Do you need deliverance;
From the trappings of this world?
Is it hard for you to sleep?
Does your heart long for relief?
Father God will comfort you;
And bless with perfect peace.
Just as mother, does to child;
The Father holds us tight.
He guides us through the shadows;
And protects us in the night.
He sends His angels near;
To catch our every tear.
And when we need a sense of love;
We sense His presence there.
“I love you Lord.” You’ll say.
“I love you too.” You’ll hear.
Then in rest you'll drift in sleep;
Your soul quiet, from all fear.
“Sweet dreams, my child, sweet dreams;”
“Rest now in my loving you.”
“I am your Father, you are my child;
"I will never- ever leave you;.”
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
Lord, help me to trust you more each day.
Lord, help me to love you more I pray.
Lord, lead me, to walk in your holy way.
Lord, strengthen my faith, help me not stray.
Lord, hide me behind the cross today.

Plan and simple(via i-know-ive-got-my-problems)
I feel invincible when I hold your hand yet fragile when you wrap me in your arms. It’s the kind of fragile that isn’t from weakness but from a complete lack of resistance. The fragile you feel when you surrender yourself to someone. The kind you feel euphoria when looking into their eyes.. I feel the way you do when you’ve realized what life is about, and she’s staring right back at me.

Hi Lovelies, I am not lucky enough to hang out with my Mom this weekend, but that doesn't mean that I won't be thinking of her.
And don't tell her, but I plan to frame this picture and give it to her when we are in LA in a couple weeks:
Don't we look exactly alike?
I have to be honest, if I am lucky enough to have a daughter one day (and no I am not expecting one soon), I want her to look exactly like my Mom (and me, hehe).
So Happy Mom's Day everyone. Enjoy the weekend. I sure hope it doesn't rain.

Love can be kept secret…
…sometimes for a lifetime.
But at what cost?
Dreaming about love and companionship is something Maggie King had no time for. She tried to avoid memories of past relationships and devoted all her energy toward the café she owned in Summerhill.
Until the attorney’s letter arrived.
French Lake’s most eligible bachelor, Ethan Reynolds, was known for being easy going and dependable. More than once, he used his quick wit and sense of humor to calm tensions between locals.
He loved his simple life…
…until he met Maggie.
Would he dare to trust in love again?
Little did they know a journey of secrets, loves, and mistaken identities, would push them to the depths of their emotions. Would it change their lives forever?

To my father that is no longer with us! I love you and miss you every day! Thinking a lot about him today and was not sure how to honor him. He is always on my mind and I want him to come back but we can't always get what we want. So daddy I miss you with all my heart!


So it's been way to too long since I've blogged! I just came across some pics of a dinner that my husband & I put together for a "date-at-home" dinner just for the two of us awhile ago...
Here they are for your viewing pleasure!

We’re complex creatures, made of light and dark, tangles and baggage, as we climb toward the best version of ourselves we can become. We who make up October Ember have been together for nearly 20 years. We’re grateful for the love we deeply feel, the admiration for each other, the wanting to spend as much time as possible with one another in the face of mortality. We have tended our garden as best we could, both in regards to each other and to ourselves as a unit.
Nevertheless, human beings are complicated, and relationships are too. We don’t realize the harm we inflict on each other, even as we try to be strong and insulated. We don’t realize the contagious nature of the darkness, or how pervasive it can be, even in the face of supportive words and deeds. That darkness has the potential to flood the soil and uproot even the most tenacious and hardy of flora, as this song acknowledges and explores.
We thank you for listening and supporting us.


so destroy me luv... I've gotten so good at breaking with a smile on my face. Come on...show me that your just like all the rest of them...guys actions prove me right everytime...so lead me on, tell me lies, let me fall for you...im just "that girl"...right?
What’s even worse is if she’s really the good girl, he’s going to lose her and say nothing about it. He’ll accept it as something she truly wants and give her his best wishes, as she walks away being everything he could ever want. It’s not like you weren’t aware of what you were getting yourself into. She told you she was nice. She trusted easily and gave you all she could when she could. The good girl believes in doing things right. She was there when you needed her to be, and she went out of her way to make sure you knew just how much you could mean to someone. I thought the ultimate goal was to eventually settle down. I mean, what is the point of dating if you have no desire for it to go anywhere? If a one-night stand is what you’re looking for, leave the good girls alone and toy within the levels you lay down. Save yourself time and energy because the good girl isn’t going to make it easy to just walk away. The good girl cares, so she’ll get her explanation from you even though she knows it’ll be a load of bull. So, she let you walk away and she called it a day. Everyone always says there are plenty of fish in the sea, and she let you go knowing this, even though it hurt. What you don’t know is that someone else is out there, and he won’t be as foolish you. When you realize all you really want is the good girl who cares about you too much, it’s going to be too late. Some other guy will be able to see how great she is, and he won’t waste a minute.
It blows my mind that after all this time you’ve spent on earth, nobody ever bothered to tell you that your eyes aren’t fucking brown.
They are copper against honey and sage and when they water they glow, two perfect orbs the same shade as nature after it rains.
You’re not as simple as they wanted you to be.
