‘Once Upon a Time’: How will the Spell of Shattered Sight affect Storybrooke? by Natalie Abrams | November 28 2014
Every Sunday I can’t wait to see what affliction the citizens from storybrooke have to endure. There always seems to be some catastrophe happening. At this point, I might want to see what life is awaiting me outside of Storybrooke!

It’s funny about life. When you’re young, you feel as if you have your whole life ahead of you and you know what direction you want to go all the while telling yourself that no one is going to steer you away from your goals and dreams.
Then, somewhere in your life you get married, have children, look after sick parents or siblings or end up becoming a single parent which puts you off track.
Well, let me tell you that life isn’t easy but you knew that. It’s going to give you so many turns and twists that half the time you want to give up. You tell yourself that, “things could be worse” but you don’t really believe it because it feels like it’s already worse for you.
This Easter weekend made me reflect on how bad things really used to be and how truly worse it can be. The time I spent with my family made me realize that family support and love will make you feel like things will be alright and that you won’t be alone.
Don’t get me wrong – life does suck sometimes but it’s not permanent and there is a shining light that will come through for you. Enjoy the happy moments in your life and the awesome achievements because they will carry you through the mistakes and give you the strength you need to be successful in your own right.

During the weekend, I was catching up on a few documentaries when I came across a show from TLC called My Strange Addiction.
You can find the link here, if you want to check it out: http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/my-strange-addiction
My concern was for these poor people that TLC seems to broadcast their issues in public. Although I am sure each person had to sign a waiver, why would the television show post their insecurity?
What is disconcerting is the person who was eating the couch cushions. Even when she was getting stomach pains, she kept eating it.
Most of these poor souls have something missing in their life that causes them to seek comfort in something else. I don’t blame them but seeking help and family support is what they need.
There was another issue of a man who had a relationship with a synthetic doll that looked like a human female. I know it’s hard to have a meaningful relationship with anyone. The good thing is that he had one foot in reality still. He had friends, he was close with his family and he had a good job. At least he kept his synthetic relations in the house where it wasn’t hurting anyone. It was for his personal comfort.
It was surprising to see so many troubled people. I hope that through support, TLC is getting them in contact with people who can help them and not exploiting them for the network.

Blockless is a website that gives you access to try other regions other than your own, when you are on the internet or using Netflix. I live in Canada and with the 7 day trial, I was able to watch seasons from my favorite show on the U.S. Netflix. My daughter was able to change the US region to the UK and she was able to watch some of her favorite shows on the Netflix UK.
After the trial period, for just $4.95 a month, you can enjoy it all the time.
Give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I enjoyed my chillin time catching up. It was referred to me by a family member and I am loving it.
I was finally able to watch all the Doctor Who episodes I saved on my PVR from the holidays. Tonight was the last one and it took me by surprise at the Doctor’s reaction to his regeneration.
It was the episode where David Tennant was going to be The Doctor for the last time. The Master had arisen and using the help of a machine, he was able to change everyone on the face of the earth like him. The Doctor of course saved the day but at a large cost. He had an idea his time was coming. It was fortold.
During the episode he focused on his death and his time. He could feel the process happening so he wanted to stop in on his past companions one last time by making a quick appearance to them. It was a sad but brilliant episode. An extraordinary episode for his last hurrah. As he started to dissipate, his last words were, “I don’t want to go”, before Matt Smith took over his body and his mind.
I know I’m referring to Dr Who but what the show has shown me is that you should never wait until something happens. You should try to live life because you never know when your time will be taken away. It was like the episode was trying to tell us to make things happen in life, don’t sit by while life passes you. We are all great in one way or another and we touch each other’s lives without realizing it.
Like the Doctor, we all need a companion. Whether it’s a life partner or a life long friend, when your time has come to pass you want to be able to say you lived life to the fullest and you want to be able to share that with someone.

It’s funny how in this day and age not too many people think of courage.
Back in the day when women had to fight for their rights and we had to stand up to bullies, it seems like it was a way of life. Things today are a little simpler and sometimes when looking back at our past, we thank our lucky stars that we didn’t have to fight as hard as our ancestors. However, we still need courage and sometimes we are oblivious to those who have to be courageous every day.
I’m a member of the school council and I see some children come to school every day, knowing that their parents aren’t there for them. Being part of an abusive or neglected family, they come to school every day to get a free high school education so they can leave their life behind and give them a start to a good future. That’s courage we don’t see.
I also volunteered for a shelter when I was younger. An organization that looked after pregnant teens to teach them how to survive with simple basic rules of life. These teens are guided by helpful people who are trying to teach them to live normal lives as a single mother and to have courage to go on.
Courage doesn’t just come from doctors, officers and fire fighters. Courage comes from every day people trying to survive, not just for themselves but for their families. Life is tough and we are so engrossed with our own lives that we neglect to really see who are neighbours are and what other people are going through.
When you feel as if you have the right to judge someone, think of what he or she could really be going through and the courage it takes to go on.
Try to make someone’s life a little easier because we are all being courageous. Stepping out our door to embrace life, to live life ….. we are embodying courage every day.
I used to write a relationship column for a website, until the unfortunate occurrence of its demise. I enjoyed telling the tale of my dating and relationship ventures because I liked to share my experiences. I knew there were women out there who had the same experience and it was good to get input so you didn’t feel alone.
I have one piece of advice for young women who are seriously thinking if the man you are going out with is worth being in a serious relationship. Do not go out with a man that has no life and needs you to fulfill his. You may think you want to be his best friend and lover, but when you get to a point in your career or your life, that is filled with ambition and you need to work hard to obtain your goals, if you have a man that requires you to entertain him then he will keep you back.
The best person to be with is someone who can share his life with you, not someone who needs you to have a life. With both partners fulfilled, it leaves room for conversation and neither partner will feel left out.
It’s exciting to know that you have subjects to talk about, friends on both sides of the relationship to see and spend time with as well as being able to plan get-togethers without feeling frustrated that you are providing the guest list of only your friends.
A healthy and happy relationship is one that is shared between two of you. It’s not easy and there are so many aspects that sometimes it’s hard to keep a handle on it. Don’t become his party planner, become his girlfriend.
When someone picks up the phone to call someone else, does the time really matter? I think it does.
I never used to call any of my friends after 9pm, when there were young children in the house. I liked it when I was asked what was the best time to call.
I remember after I got divorced and started painstakingly dating, I had guys call me up until midnight on a weekday and I was furious. As a single mother who had a full time job, I thought it was rude and disrespectful.
Even now, the person I’m dating insists on calling me 15 minutes before I have to go to bed. What kind of meaningful conversation are we supposed to get into when I have my eye on the clock? Even after telling him that it would be better appreciated calling earlier, that doesn’t work for him. Therefore, he should be able to call whenever it suits him? Not a chance! He gets voicemail.
People don’t like getting late phone calls. The best thing you can do when you start making friends with people at work, school or in a relationship is ask when’s the best time to call your place. It shows respect and thoughtfulness and a good basis for something that can last awhile.
