There are some movies that entertain...and then there are movies that matter. Still Hope is one of those films.
As a mom, a former teen, and someone who cares deeply about protecting kids and educating families, this movie hit a place much deeper than I expected. Still Hope is not just a film about human trafficking, it is a story about what happens after survival. About the courage it takes to rebuild. About the reality that freedom is only the beginning.
Free business sends signals whether it is intentional or not. Your website, your customer service, and your branding all play a massive role, but one signal often gets overlooked: the condition of your building. People notice cracked walkways, stained floors, and worn-out surfaces before they notice your signage. These details are something that shape the first impression long before the first conversations even start.
Hands-on suturing practice is vital in medical training, yet many students have few opportunities to practice before treating real patients.
Operating room time is limited, cadaver labs are often hard to access, and clinical rotations provide only brief supervised sessions, creating a gap between textbook knowledge and practical skill.
Suture practice kits offer a safe, affordable way to practice at your own pace, allowing repeated technique practice without patient risk or resource constraints. This repetition builds muscle memory and confidence for real procedures.
Choosing the right kit requires knowing what separates a quality training tool from a subpar one. This guide shows what to look for, the skills you can develop, and how to select a kit that matches your learning goals.
(Advice for Teens from a Mom Who Was Once a Teen)
I don’t talk about my teenage years much.
Not because nothing happened, but because a lot did.
I successfully earned myself a pretty rough reputation as a teen, and it followed me straight through high school and into my early twenties. And while I’ve healed, grown, forgiven myself, and built a life I’m proud of, I would be lying if I said those years didn’t make things harder than they ever needed to be.
Now I’m a mom.
And I look at my daughter, standing on the edge of the tween and teen years, and I feel this deep urgency to tell her the things I wish someone had told me clearly, honestly, and without sugarcoating.
So this is my letter to her.
And maybe, if you’re raising a tween or teen, it’s a letter to your child too.
Your home is more than just a place to sleep and eat; it’s a reflection of who you are. While furniture and wall color lay the foundation for your decor, it’s the accessories that bring your personality to life. These finishing touches transform rooms from generic to uniquely yours, creating spaces that feel warm, inviting, and authentically expressive.
