White Bird Movie Review & Giveaway

Many thanks to Kingdom Faith Marketing Services for providing a sample of the film for review. My opinions are 100% my own.

During the horrors of the German Holocaust, my family lost five members of our immediate family; my paternal Great-Grandfather Aleksander’s sister, brother-in-law, and their three children; all under the age of seven. A tragedy that has brought the awareness of the atrocities of the Second World War into focus for myself and millions of others throughout the world.

Similarly seen in the new Holocaust drama “White Bird,” based on the graphic novel, of the same name, by R.J. Palacio, and directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland), an expander to Stephan Chbosky’s “Wonder.” In “White Bird,” a French grandmother reminisces her childhood foibles to her grandson, Julian, over tolerance, teenage angst, and shared childhood uncertainties.

White Bird” begins with Julian, being belittled by peers, while attending an elite Manhattan prep school, similar to how he, himself, treated others, in not being able to join friends at the lunchroom, and being made aware that he was instead sitting at the “loser’s table.” Leaving Julian ostracized and unable to fit in.

His Grandmère Sara (Helen Mirren), who’s in New York for an exhibition of her art, tells Julian the main tale of this film. An event in 1942 in the Alsatian region of France, where fifteen-year-old Sara (Ariella Glaser), a Jewish girl whose mother and father (Olivia Ross and Ishai Golan) refuse to believe that they will be unable to escape Nazi occupation, in their season ahead.

Their aspirations are soon dashed when Sara, formed into hiding in the barn owned by the family of a classmate, Julien Beaumier (Orlando Schwerdt), nicknamed “The Crab,” a young man walking with braces due to a Polio diagnosis. As time passes, Sara, protected by Julian’s family (Gillian Anderson and Jo-Stone Fewings), grows closer. Soon, however, times take a sharp turn for the pair. A shift that embroils their closest friends, family, community, and country into the grotesque tropes of the Second World War.

A positive point of the film is its cinematography. Photographed in a wide, picturesque format, “White Bird” showcases 20th-century France in golden hues and softened tones. With houses and towns shot in picturesque scenes, this tale of unspeakable societal horrors mixes soft landscapes and clever imagery that lovers of cinematography will enjoy. Showing less the gritty horrors of the war and the unspeakable atrocities of the Nazi regime, focusing instead on a neat packaging of one of society’s greatest tragedies. That, even for an adolescent film, leaves this lover of history, with a familiar understanding of the time, who having lived in France, myself, much to be desired. However, for others, the “White Bird” film will be a memorable piece.

In the greater scheme, this youth-based romanticized tale sends an overall positive message of hope and healing. As Grandmère Sara states, “You’re there to forget many things in life, but you never forget kindness.” A message that so many modern, real-world individuals could gain from such a sweet, simple message. Encouraging us all to be brave and kind.

My Bag, My Story Initiative & Reader Giveaway

Did you know that my family, my Grandmother, Carolyn, and her brother, Danny Lee, adopted me as a child? A simple act of loving devotion that has left me with a lifelong desire to see other children find their forever homes. No easy task, as many children in various state foster care systems are moved from home to home, from house to house, often toting their limited belongings in transient, trash bags. Leaving impressionable children, young scholars, artists, and athletes already struggling to find their place in this world, struggling to retain personal dignity and space.

While these problems lie much larger, more complicated socioeconomic, economic, and politicized issues. Yet, there are simple ways that everyday people, those like you, and I, can help- ways as simple as they are straightforward.

My Bag My Story,” a non-profit organization that strives to improve the lives of foster youth by providing children with high-quality travel-style bags. With each bag purchased, another high-value bag is donated to help children navigate state foster care systems.

This initiative seeks to address the stigma of children and adolescents being prevented from the indignity that comes with carrying their possessions from place to place in mere garbage bags. Providing foster youth bags that are more than practical simplicity. These bags, train cases, and duffle bags are symbols of value, support, and recognition. Affirming the value of the shared human experience for every child in the foster care system. Helping American foster children feel seen and supported.

My Bag, My Story Founder, Cara Finger, explains that the organization’s origin started when she “Became a foster parent and watching children always have their belongings in a trash bag or grocery sack or nothing. Everyone kept saying this was normal. I said it doesn’t have to be normal, so I set out to have bags made for kids,” That “having a bag to call your own instead of a trash bag gives a child dignity and makes them feel valued. A bag seems so small but makes a huge difference in their foster care experience. Making a child feel like they are worth more than trash is so important to me.” A message vital to me as a fellow adopted child and as someone who, in turn, has helped support members of my own extended family to adopt children in recent wartime conditions.

Beyond community and state donations, My Bag, My Story has partnered with more than 30 Tennessee-based organizations to work directly with children in the foster care system to get them high-quality duffle bags, train cases, and backpacks. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, My Bag, My Story depends on the generosity and support of national corporations, including Dell, The Predators Foundation, Saint George’s Episcopal Church, and the Target Corporation.

National Foster Care Statistics

According to the United States Department of Education, more than 400,000 children rely on the National Foster Care System. With nearly 20,000 young persons aging out of foster care annually, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, respectfully. Many are without the option of being reunited with their families of origin or legalized adoption. Presenting challenges to young people transitioning to independent living without the guise or financial means of establishment. You can learn more about the foster care system and its many challenges to young children and adolescents, here.

Ways To Help

Ordering a bag from My Bag, My Story, helping to lend security and dignity to children and young adults navigating the foster care system, is one great way you can help send young Americans onto the path of dignity and diversity, today! With so many great options and styles, featuring high-quality fabrics, your generosity can help uplift children from the comfort of your own homes. You can also read other My Bag, My Story accounts on its website, and check out My Bag, My Story on Instagram and Facebook.

How to Spot the Signs of Domestic Violence

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, is a serious issue that affects millions of people each year. Being able to recognize the signs that someone may be in an abusive relationship is important so you can provide support and connect them to helpful resources. Here are some key signs to look for that may indicate domestic violence.

Changes in Behavior and Mood

Sudden changes in someone’s normal behaviors or mood can signal domestic abuse. Some examples include:

  • Withdrawing from friends and family 
  • Losing interest in activities they used to enjoy
  • Appearing anxious, depressed, or suicidal
  • Having trouble sleeping 
  • Showing major changes in personality

Abuse takes a psychological toll and often leads to mental health issues like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Pay attention if someone acts out of character or displays emotional warning signs.

Signs of Control

Abusers aim to gain power and control over their victims. Tactics can include:

  • Not allowing them to see friends or family
  • Monitoring their activities, communication, and spending
  • Making all the decisions in the relationship 
  • Demanding obedience and limiting independence

Watch for signs that someone is isolated or their activities are controlled. Lack of freedom is a hallmark of domestic violence situations.

Unexplained Injuries

Physical abuse may result in unexplained injuries that the victim tries to cover up. Some examples are:

  • Bruises, black eyes, cuts, broken bones
  • Burns that could be from scalding, cigarettes, or other objects
  • Bite marks or marks from choking or restraints
  • Bald spots indicating hair was pulled out

Take note if injuries are explained away, attributed to clumsiness, or hidden with clothing. The locations, frequency, and severity can also indicate domestic abuse.

Damaged Property and Belongings

Abusers often take out their anger by damaging property. Signs can include:

  • Holes in walls or broken fixtures from throwing objects
  • Ripped clothing or belongings
  • Damage to vehicles
  • Broken cell phones or devices

When property damage is unexplained or written off as accidental, it may point to an abusive partner’s violent outbursts.

Fearfulness and Anxiety

Victims often exhibit a palpable fear of their partner. You may notice: 

  • Flinching or jumping when touched unexpectedly 
  • Appearing anxious when their partner calls or comes home
  • Worrying about making their partner angry

Look for signs they are walking on eggshells around their partner’s moods and actions.

How Social Workers Can Help

As the linked article on the importance of social workers explains, social workers are critical in assisting domestic violence victims. They can connect people to shelters, counseling services, legal aid, and other community resources. Social workers provide emotional support and help victims process trauma through counseling and support groups. They can assist with safety planning, housing assistance, child services, and financial aid if someone needs to rebuild their life after leaving an abusive relationship. 

Social workers advocate for victims as they navigate complex systems and make decisions. Their training in mental health, trauma, family issues, and crisis intervention makes them well-equipped to comprehensively help domestic violence victims in creating a plan to escape abuse and heal.

Recognizing domestic violence is the first step to taking action. Don’t ignore red flags or explanations that don’t seem right. Speak up if you suspect someone is being abused. With support, many victims can get protection, counseling, and escape abuse.

Friends, if you or a loved one are experiencing domestic violence, please click here for help. Everyone deserves relationships free from domestic violence-you are no exception. When you’re ready, please seek help. Know you are seen. You are loved. You matter. You are worthy. If you’d like to share your story, please leave your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you.

Essential Strategies for Assisting Aging Parents with Grace and Dignity

Caring for aging parents is both an emotional and practical journey that requires a delicate balance of support, respect, and empowerment. The goal is to provide care that upholds their dignity while helping them adapt to the challenges of aging. To achieve this, it’s important to employ strategies that focus on small victories, social engagement, and the thoughtful use of technology to enhance independence. Here are some fresh ideas on how to assist aging parents with grace and dignity.

Emphasize Small Victories to Build Confidence

One of the most effective ways to maintain your parents’ sense of dignity is by celebrating their small achievements. Aging can sometimes lead to feelings of inadequacy or frustration when certain tasks become more difficult. Instead of focusing on what they can no longer do, focus on what they can still accomplish, no matter how small. For example, if your parent has completed a physical therapy session or cooked a simple meal, make a point to acknowledge their efforts. A comment like, “I’m so proud of how you’ve been sticking to your exercises,” can uplift their spirits and reinforce their capability. By focusing on small victories, you’re providing emotional encouragement that helps them maintain confidence in their abilities.

Encourage and Facilitate Social Engagement

Social engagement is crucial to your parents’ emotional and mental health as they age. Isolation can lead to depression and cognitive decline, so it’s important to keep them connected with their community, family, and friends. Whether it’s participating in a local club, attending religious services, or simply having regular coffee dates with friends, staying socially active can significantly improve their quality of life. By moving into a modern care home, such as the facility offered by Morris Care, your loved one will have the opportunity to mix with other residents and forge connections. If mobility or health concerns make it difficult for your parent to socialize in person, consider using technology to keep them engaged. Help them learn how to use video calling platforms to chat with loved ones, join online interest groups, or even participate in virtual events that cater to seniors. This not only combats loneliness but also keeps them mentally stimulated and connected to the outside world.

Foster a Sense of Contribution

One powerful way to assist your aging parents with dignity is by ensuring they still feel like they have something valuable to contribute. Aging can sometimes lead to feelings of uselessness, especially when physical abilities start to decline. But everyone has something to offer, regardless of age.

Ask your parents to share their knowledge or skills with you or the family. Whether it’s cooking a family recipe, telling stories from their past, or offering life advice, involving them in family activities keeps them connected and gives them a sense of importance. You could also encourage them to engage in volunteer work, if feasible, or contribute to local causes in ways that match their abilities. Their involvement in meaningful activities reinforces their sense of purpose.

Create Opportunities for Physical Activity

Physical activity is an important part of aging gracefully, as it helps maintain mobility, strength, and overall well-being. Encourage your parents to engage in activities they enjoy and are capable of, whether that’s walking, yoga, gardening, or even simple stretching exercises at home. To make physical activity more appealing, consider joining them in these exercises, turning it into a bonding opportunity. You might take regular walks together, attend fitness classes, or even practice mindfulness and stretching exercises at home. Keeping active will help them to feel physically capable, independent, Morris care, and in control of their health.

Respect Their Desire for Privacy

As parents age and may require more physical assistance, respecting their desire for privacy is essential for preserving their dignity. Tasks like dressing, bathing, or managing medical care can feel invasive if not handled with sensitivity. Always ask for permission before stepping in to help with personal tasks, and provide as much privacy as possible. For example, if you’re assisting with bathing, make sure to allow them to perform parts of the task independently where possible, or cover areas they aren’t currently washing to minimize discomfort. Offering them the space and time to manage as much as they can on their shows that you respect their boundaries and still see them as capable individuals.

Cultivate Patience and Flexibility

Patience is one of the most important qualities when assisting aging parents. As their capabilities change, some tasks may take longer or need to be done differently. It’s essential to approach these changes with understanding and flexibility. For example, if your parent struggles to remember things or becomes slower in completing tasks, avoid rushing or correcting them too quickly. Instead, offer support when necessary and allow them the time they need to adapt. Be open to adjusting the way care is provided, recognizing that their needs may evolve. A patient, flexible attitude shows respect for their pace and process.

Assisting aging parents with grace and dignity requires a thoughtful combination of practical strategies and emotional support. By focusing on small victories, encouraging social engagement, leveraging technology for independence, and respecting their need for autonomy, you can help your parents navigate this stage of life with confidence and fulfillment. Ultimately, it’s about empowering them to live as fully and independently as possible while ensuring they feel respected, valued, and loved.

Regaining Financial Freedom: Tips To Go From Bad Debt To Prosperity

Let’s face it, bad debt is something that nobody ever wants to get themselves into. You don’t have to be stuck with this bad fortune forever! So, let’s roll up our sleeves and chart a path to send it packing while paving your road to financial freedom. Here’s how you can kickstart your comeback.

Evaluate And Restructure Your Debts

First things first: what’s the damage? Pull out all your bills and get them in a line—how much, who’s it for, and what’s the interest rate? Seeing everything you owe on one list can be a game-changer. This might sound like a big step, but a credit corp solutions company can offer ways to consolidate your debts into one manageable payment. Imagine swapping several high-interest payments for a single one with a lower rate. More manageable, right? It’s like decluttering your financial closet, and who doesn’t enjoy a good cleanout?

Create A Sustainable Budget

Oh, the dreaded B-word—budget. But trust me, it doesn’t have to be scary. Start tracking where every dollar goes, and I mean everyone. You’ll soon see where you can cut back—a little less dining out, maybe? And boom! You’ve got extra cash to squash that debt. It’s all about making your money work for you, not the other way around. Apps today can do most of the heavy lifting, categorizing your spending in a snap. Pretty handy, right? Think of it as having a financial GPS guiding you through the spending jungle.

Boost Your Income

If trimming your expenses isn’t cutting it, let’s think bigger. Need more cash? Let’s brainstorm. Maybe it’s time to ask for that raise, start a side hustle, or turn a hobby into cash. Every extra penny can be a soldier in your battle against debt. And who knows? That side hustle could turn into your main hustle before you know it! Plus, extra income streams can become new avenues for saving once your debts are cleared.

Focus On High-Interest Debts First

Here’s a nifty trick: tackle the debts with the nastiest interest rates first. Keep up with minimum payments on the others, sure, but hit the high-interest ones hard. This method will be your debt-killing superpower. It stops those big bad debts from growing any bigger, and you’ll save a ton on interest in the long run. Who doesn’t love saving money? By reducing the costliest debts, you’ll feel a significant lift off your financial shoulders.

Monitor And Build Your Credit Score

As you’re paying down those debts, don’t forget to keep an eye on your credit score. Timely payments? Check. Lower balances? Check. All these moves are giving your credit score a nice little boost. Checking your credit report regularly for errors is also a must—think of it as keeping your financial report card in tip-top shape. Services that monitor your credit can alert you to mistakes or fraud, pretty much giving you peace of mind.

Conclusion

So, as you can see, this is a plan to not only ditch debt but to lay a solid foundation for a future where you’re in charge of your money. It’s a journey, sure, but every step forward is a step out of debt and into financial freedom. Stick with these strategies, and you’ll build habits that not only get you out of debt but also help you stay out. 

God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust Movie Review & Giveaway

Many thanks to Pinnacle Peak Pictures for providing a sample of the product for this review. My opinions are 100% my own.

In a time of constant change, with everything from global climate change to constant and divisive political and religious strife, finding one’s footing in our current society can be difficult. Especially for faith-based reasoning. This is why I am recommending the upcoming film, “God’s Not Dead.” This film, starring David A. R. White (GOD’S NOT DEAD, Evening Shade), Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy) Dean Cain (Lois & Clark), Samaire Armstrong, (The O.C.), Ray Wise (ROBOCOP), Scott Baio (Happy Days), Charlene Tilton (Dallas), with guest appearances by Governor Mike Huckabee and Newsboys, is currently the most successful faith-based franchise of all time.

Featuring Reverand David Hill (played by David A.R. White), with other familiar characters and a Newsboys cameo, appears in the latest installment of the God’s Not Dead movie series. In this installment, David Hill grapples with this crucial question: Does God still have a place in politics? This revolves around the hotly debated political questions in America today regarding the relevance of Christianity in the public square and the viewing of the government’s duty to stand on perceived biblical values and a vocal minority’s repeated view of their own “fundamental God-given rights” throughout the series.

While more entertaining than philosophical debate, it hosts various quips to explain right-winged talking points of our current political season. While less scholastic and more sensationalized in design, the film references Biblical principles that will resonate with conservative Christians. It’s a clean, family-friendly film that will help you understand the perspective of friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers with conservative leanings this election season.

In this exacting perspective, it’s a film to be enjoyed. Explaining in a non-serious, less-abrasive manner current political and socioeconomic themes often absent in modern political advertisements or commonly streamed, public programming. While not every Christian will agree with the hard-hitting political themes in the movie, with many opposed to the core messages promoted throughout the story, including its overly dramatic messaging, it’s a perspective worth watching with friends and family.

I appreciated that the film’s plot presented a handful of views of God and his Word, and overall Bible teachings throughout the film. While there could have been dozens of more references compiled throughout the film’s script, the portrayal of the Passion, the price for serving Christ, and the perceived need of the suffering as his disciples, is worth viewing and examining from one’s perspective. Gauging the views of this oration and implied modern political aspirations of Scripture-including Matthew 5:10–12, John 15:18–20, 2 Timothy 3:10–13, and 1 Peter 4:12–14.

The movie’s central plot largely centers around the debate over preserving religious freedom, the “separation of church and state.” While I as an attorney and writer didn’t agree line-for-line with the plot, I could take away sincerity in this manuscript as a whole. Especially in the opening scene, a powerful scene seeking to draw in the audience’s emotions regarding these very issues. That, even for me, I was able to film utility in these scenes of the movie.

As coverage of the Arkansas congressional incumbent, Rick West, unexpectedly dying of a heart attack before election day. His opponent, Senator Kane (played by Ray Wise), has a press conference where he’s questioned regarding the restriction of religious freedoms. Then, focusing audiences on the film’s distinct plotline by showing old clips of previous presidents Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy speeches on fighting for our freedoms and the importance of keeping America as one nation under God, footage of churches closing during the Covid pandemic, showcasing secularists rallies, and a child checking the “Atheist” box on a piece of paper as his professed religion. All formulations of why voting conservatively will help push America forward.

Finally, transitions to a scene where the story’s antagonist is confronted with news concerning a women’s center that is closing due to public spacing being used by women in transition as a haven for Bible studies. Where a comparison is made between modern American political leanings and the Chinese government blaming all nation’s economic and social pressures on religiosity. Focusing less on decades of the nation’s humanitarian cruelties, the repression in Xinjiang, arbitrary arrests, the forced labor of the Uyghurs, the egregious assault on Hong Kong’s autonomy, the barbaric restriction of Tibetan citizenry, restricting vital medical pathologies, and the timely, life-saving information of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, or the cultural stifling of Chinese critics, authors, athletes, and artists. Instead, focusing on the persecution of Christians in China. Implying that the same religious and socioeconomic depravity could soon happen, here, in America, if voting for heavy-handed Christian-focused rights is not maintained.

Later in the film, during a podcast debate, the focus of the film turns to voting. Reinforced by a scene that depicts struggles of race, economic instability, and lost hope in the future of the nation. One in which 40 million Christians won’t vote in Federal elections, with another 15 million refusing to be registered. The film’s central focus became the notion that “Political campaigns set the example for Christian involvement in the civic square.” In other words, if Christians are not speaking up for their rights, not the rights of fellow Americans, they will be taken away.”

The film’s central premise, that of “American Church-Going Christians” being demonized due to their belief system in God, prayer, or creationism is unfounded. That secularists have weaponized this Constitutionalist separation to eradicate Christianity from all public squares, replacing it with secular humanism is both egregious and unfounded, the film does beg the overall question, “Why Americans cannot engage in political or religious discussion without hate-filled, theocratic debate?” A message I will ponder openly throughout the remainder of this current political season. The internal dialogue over my relation to naturalism and nationalism, respectfully as an American, woman, or Christian. I hope you will do the same, too.

This film is engaging with a captivating story and a renowned cast that keeps the whole family entertained. Allowing friends and families to discuss the current political climate with courage. Most importantly, this film demonstrates Christians, in politics and life, should be optimistic, excited, and hopeful about the future.
