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.
People don't always realize how much we can help in these cases.
People eat more when they're given more food, and they don't even realize it.
When you're in your 20s, then you and your world are the biggest thing, and everything revolves around what you're doing. Now I realize I'm a leaf floating along on the water on top of some river. That's where I'm at.
I think the team will think this was an O.K. year. Some guys had career years, but the reality is that we didn't get it done at the end of the day.
Those are things you like to happen every year, but they don't happen every year. Obviously, it hasn't happened since. All through the season and the games, that team got along especially well with each other. That carried over in life and in reality has gotten much stronger.
What you don't know intrigues you more than what you do know. I believed all those love stories-the hero was the hero-because that's what I grew up with. I loved the romance and the roses, but when it came to a more realistic life, I would back away.
We came in as a class with standards we set, ... and we're starting to realize them now.
Our school systems have to realize that everybody doesn't learn the same way, and no one learns without some emotional support.
The reality is, if the cats are just trapped and removed, it's only a matter of time before more cats will be coming right across the yards again.
When you're 14, you don't realize how strong permanent is. I regretted it right away, but I couldn't afford to do anything about it.
If you are without bread, how much wisdom can you boast and of what real utility are your talents, if you cannot procure for yourselves and save against a day of scarcity those substances designed to sustain your natural lives?
Friendship's the wine of life.
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.
