Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before.

Police arrested 40-year-old
Kimberly Lawson for allegedly having sex with a
dog, a German Shepherd named Adam.
The dog's owner Caroline Morris says she found out
about the abuse when her neighbors came and told
her what they saw.
"Saturday morning and he just said someone is
having sex with my dog, and I just could not
believe it and I said lets call 911 and that's
what we did," said Morris." - Memphis
What if an unknown illness cost you everything? That is what happened to a Mid-South woman whose medical crisis has baffled doctors for almost three years now. It is a medical mystery you may find hard to watch, but what this woman lost to disease she has gained in strength and spirit. Shanyna Isom was a high school graduate working toward a law degree. "I was in my junior year and I was studying criminal justice," she said. Today, loved ones have to help her get out of bed or off of the sofa. "It's almost as if it's a nightmare and you're trying to wake up out of that," she says. A nightmare that began in September 2009 when Isom had an allergic reaction to steroids she was given for an asthma attack. Within months, she was eaten alive by a debilitating skin disease doctors have yet to diagnose. "Over time it started to turn my legs black with bumps," Isom said. Doctors in Memphis treated Isom for everything from eczema to a staph infection." - 5 News
"An honor student who worked her way out of Chicago's crime-ridden Roseland neighborhood to become the first in her immediate family to graduate from college, Moody's life had once been on a different course. But in May, less than a week after she received a degree in criminal justice from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, a jury convicted her of killing a 21-year-old mother of two after a senseless altercation over a young man. Moody claimed that she had been bullied by a group of women from the neighborhood and that the shooting was self-defense. The jury decided it was second-degree murder. Now the young woman born to a prostitute and crack addict who abandoned her at the hospital after birth, a young woman who believed that education would be her ticket "out of the ghetto," is serving a 30-year sentence in an Arkansas prison. "My world has been turned around," Moody said, tears trickling down her face as she sat for an interview at the McPherson Unit, a women's correctional facility about 100 miles northeast of Little Rock." - chicagotribune
"Who does this dump shit?" This dumb ass girl actually went to another house to beat her up, because she said something on Twitter. The police should lock her ass up! What makes it so bad, what if she would have killed the girl while she is stumping on her. She could deny it, but hey Sherlock wanted her friends to video tape the beat down so that she could broadcast it later..."WOW"
Premeditated murder is what it would have been called if she accidentally kill this girl in her fit of rage.
Just think, that her minute of anger could have cost her a life time of anguish behind bars...
"A Memphis jury has found 17-year-old James
Prindle guilty of raping a 23-month-old girl. The
jury took all day on Friday to convict Prindle on
all counts.
Prosecutors claimed Prindle committed the
disturbing act against the toddler while
babysitting at Cordova Creek Apartments in August
of 2010. Though just 15 at the time, he was later
charged and indicted as an adult.
"There's no DNA, no semen, no blood stain. You'll
hear how the child was bleeding but nothing links
James to the sexual assault," said Prindle's
defense during opening arguments.
Prindle was accused of bathing the child before
running to a neighbor for help. Prosecutors say he
told that neighbor a lie that a "large black man
wearing a mask broke into the apartment," that
police later disproved.
The next story Prindle told, according to
prosecutors, was that his friends were responsible
for the rape. His defense attorney says he lied
about the robber because he was trying to stay out
of trouble with his mother for having friends over
when he was supposed to be babysitting.
"He's hanging out with friends, high, running the
apartment complex. That's what he was doing,
making up stories lying about being in the
apartment every time he was left alone for hours,"
claimed the defense.
Prindle's attorney says Prindle, who had not only
smoked marijuana but had taken Xanex, wasn't home
at the time of the rape and says once he found the
little girl beaten and bruised he did everything
he could to help her" - Memphis
