            Werewolf stories have been around since the 12 th century. Most of them were written as warnings. They were stories that warned readers against breaking laws, following sexual urges, or disobeying religious texts. These stories were warnings about what could happen if we act upon primal urges and become the hunter instead of the hunted. Even though these horrific stories show the animal within escaping its human body confines, these stories often do show the downfall. At the very end, readers are reminded that the hunter will become the hunted. There will be penalties. There will be pain and suffering for disobedience. Werewolves will be destroyed.   What if, though, werewolves could be different? What if they could be gentile souls who want to live? What if werewolves were actually an allegory about people living with a crippling disease? With Remus Lupin, JK Rowling boldly presents these ideas within the Harry Potter series.             It is true that werewolf st

It’s okay to fail. Say it with me. It’s. okay. To. fail. Shocking news, isn’t it? But it’s true. It’s fine to fail. It doesn’t mean you’re a failure. It doesn’t mean the world will end. On the contrary. The world will be fine. You will be fine. In fact, you will be better than fine. You’ll be stronger. You’ll be wiser. You’ll be braver.   It might feel like it right now. It might not feel like it tomorrow or the next day. With time, you will realize you did the right thing – for you. Don’t worry if some days you wonder the what if’s. What if I stuck with it? What if I finished? What if I’d chosen differently? What if I made the wrong choice? That’s okay. It’s okay to wonder. It’s only natural. It’s only human. So yes, it is okay to fail. Those words come easy. The reality is that it’s much harder to fail than to succeed. You’ve made a choice. Now you have to stick with it.   Now you wonder if it’s the right one. Sometimes the choice feels perfect. A weight’s been lifted and

Each person has a unique experience when it comes to spirituality. In times of struggle people either find the faith, hold tight to their beliefs, or lose them. No two reactions are identical - just as no two people are identical. Human DNA is capable of creating 70 billion combination; that means there will be 70 billion people before a DNA sequence is replicated. Those 70 billion persons will have different experiences with economics, schooling, language, household makeup, traditions, local and national laws, neighborhoods. "The Kennedy Curse", the April 15, 2018 episode of Timeless  touches on fate, destiny, and belief. No single character is left uncathed. None of the relationship will ever be the same. For here down there will be spoilers. Jessica seems to lose all faith in Wyatt. She felt ready to leave and let Wyatt have the life she thought  he wanted.

Photo Source To Cinta Hallowed grounds can hold many dark and troubling secrets; you just have to be willing to listen. Levi didn’t. He could, of course. He had the ability to listen to the departed; he chose not to. It was easy enough – Levi just tuned them out. Tonight was no different. Spirits tried communicating with him as he wandered through a random New York cemetery – paper pad and pencil in hand. After a day of janitorial work, Levi enjoyed drawing a tombstone or two. It was his way to chill. Near a stunted elm tree, he found himself in the midst of the oldest memorials in the churchyard. Made from resilient limestone, the carvings, although weathered from decades of sky-born perspiration and gusting breezes, were far more intricate than those carved in the last twenty years. They were art pieces, not just slabs of ultra-shiny rock that looked shellacked. Passing by the pirate-themed marker, Levi smirked. His interest was piqued; he almost allowed i
