Meraki by The Renegade Press #guestblog (men opening their hearts -we need more of it)

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read! It’s so refreshing to read about guys who open their hearts. We need more of this. It melts me!

Chris Nicholas's avatarThe Renegade Press

In August 2016, a woman broke my heart. After two years of dating, during which time I convinced myself that she was the person I was destined to marry, she left me. To say that I was devastated would be an understatement. I was inconsolable, believing that my entire world had come crashing down around me. In the months that followed our failed romance, I lost my desire to write, to eat, and even to live.

Yet for all that I temporarily lost, I also learned…

I learned how to let go of the anger and depression that had consumed me, how to pick myself back up when life had knocked me down, and how to appreciate the true beauty of human compassion. But arguably the most important thing that I came to understand in my lowest moments was what it means to truly love someone. Twelve months ago I…

Blind coordination and frequency

People who are blind depend on their other senses to go on their day to day lives. Taste, odor, touch, sound, and even instinct, though you may argue the latter is not part of our senses.
Today I awoke with a cold, sore throat, runny nose, left ear full of pressure.
Now, to a normal person that’s nothing but annoying, but to a blind person it can be argued a cold is actually dangerous.
When a blind person is familiar with his surroundings, he doesn’t need a guide dog or any help to move around. For example, inside my house, I know where everything is, everyone is, what’s on the stove. From the sounds, scents, and the position of which the sound came from. I can tell when someone is talking to me while looking on the opposite direction, if my kids are standing or sitting…

On Sex and the Divine Feminine #guestblog

Hartwood Well Being's avatarZoe Hartwood

I’ve been mulling over this for a little while. My feelings and understanding of this have been growing stronger, and the inspiration to write has descended!

So, the Divine Feminine…like feminism but with delusions of grandeur? Not the way way I feel and understand it. (It’s worth noting at this point that I don’t mean this post to be man-bashing in anyway, I just haven’t personally experienced the “divine masculine” so I don’t feel able to write about it.)


The way I understand the Divine Feminine is still fairly intuitive and it’s tricky to get the right words to explain. But I’ll try… It involves rekindling the solidarity and sisterhood of women, who in our modern society are taught to see as enemies (out to steal our beloved with a flash of their perfectly lined eyes, mascara-ed lashes and “bikini body”, obtained by a ruthless diet and hours at the…

Unknown's avatarDon Massenzio's Author Site

35396385Goodreads Synopsis:

There’s nothing quite so annoying as having the police arrive when you are trying to cover up a crime that may or may not have happened.

Lord Bernard has died unexpectedly. Is Deputy Head Porter being framed? Head Porter just wants to be kept out of the picture.

In this fast-paced whimsical British romp, a priceless work of art – the portrait of Old College founding father Lord Arthur Layton – has gone missing and with the death of Lord Bernard, the Master of arch rivals Hawkins College, there is nothing for it but for our heroine to don her trusty bowler hat and embark upon another eccentric investigation.

In this sequel to the debut PorterGirl novel, First Lady of The Keys, Old College’s first and only female Porter must find the portrait or it will be her that is flat on the canvas and framed like a…
