I have been working with Women's Aid since 2003 when I became the charity's first Ambassador, and am so pleased to be able to be a part of the 'Real Man' campaign against domestic violence. I studied domestic violence at university and feel passionately that we need to raise awareness of violence against women and children and refuse to ignore it. Just by speaking out against domestic violence and being supportive of those directly affected we can all make a positive difference.
Things have changed for me over the past couple of weeks, ... There's a big part of my heart that's missing now with my mother gone. I knew I pitched for her. I just didn't realize how much. You just look at things different.
I lived in the bad part of Vancouver for 20 years and never had any problem. I didn't realize Kelso had such a high crime rate.

People eat more when they're given more food, and they don't even realize it.
What I thought was fun was partying and smoking a little. It took me awhile to realize I had to become a parent and not just be a mom in title only.
I live alone in a house, so for me it's very good to just be able to re-charge and just disappear and escape from reality and that's usually when I write most of my lyrics and my songs. It's a very happy productive place.
Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there.
You’ve got mountains of your own, I’ll bet on it. Take heart. Be encouraged. Remain steadfast. Hang on for dear life. You’ve got a better grip than you realize.
I am extremely proud of our remarkable men and women who serve in our military, but the reality is that this is a shrinking percentage of the American population. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a growing disconnect between our military and civilian population. At one time, we had participation from nearly every American. Victory gardens, metal collections, saving stamps and bonds-everyone did their part to support our military. We simply don't do that anymore.
As more and more companies realize the power and reach of the Mid-America Trucking Show, we expect the show to continue to grow and surpass long-established show records.
I realized how much I missed it. I want my teammates to understand that as long as I'm able to be out there, even if it's on a leg and a half, I want to be out there. I still feel like we can better our record from last year, so that's our goal.
How could he not? ... Look at his head: He's got all that hair sticking out. My dad realized he had certain intrinsic qualities, his hair, his eating habits. A lot of funny idiosyncrasies.
Our school systems have to realize that everybody doesn't learn the same way, and no one learns without some emotional support.
