Best Selling Author makes generous donation

Domestic Abuse affects millions of women worldwide.

Some women may not make it out of the relationship alive.

Many women are able to overcome and live normal, healthy lives once they have left their abuser.

Some women overcome and rise up to tell the world their story!

Brenda Thomas, is a Philadelphia author who went through a horrible domestic relationship. She tells about it in her memoir, "Laying Down my Burdens."

I have an autographed copy of this book that I purchased earlier this year. When I started reading, I couldn't put it down! If I were a book reviewer, I would give it 5 stars. But don't just take my word for it, Brenda Thomas is an Essence best-selling author!

Brenda Thomas should be recognized because not only is she writing and sharing her story, but she's also making a generous donation to benefit and and inspire other Domestic Abuse Victims.

"During the month of October, Philadelphia-based, Essence best-selling author Brenda L. Thomas will donate 500 copies of her memoir, Laying Down My Burdens, to various shelters, conferences and individuals across the country who house and support victims of Domestic violence. Organizations in the Philadelphia area will include, Congreso de Latinos Unidos, Women Against Abuse, and NCADV (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence). She has chosen to do this in an effort to provide encouragement and hope that there is a way out."

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency.

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae."

However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt.

Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
