Ella is a recovering alcoholic. Her young daughters are in the care of her ex-husband Joseph and his new partner Bethan, and she's had to move back in with her father Alan. She sleeps in her daughters' bunks in their old room - constantly reminded of what she has cost herself. She fights with Joseph and Bethan over the girls, with Alan over her AA meetings, and with herself over her guilt. Just when it feels like the whole world is against her, she's befriended by Neil, a strange young boy whose support helps her take responsibility for herself and rediscover a sense of hope.

We have no problem talking about our good dreams. Rarely does the subject of our nightmares enters the picture.
Knowing some of the most simple conversations can help heal. Which is why we should always remain engaged in the plan and purpose.
An astonishing memoir of twelve years as a contemplative nun in a silent monastery.
Cloistered takes the reader deep into the hidden world of a traditional Carmelite monastery as it approaches the third Millennium and tells the story of an intense personal journey into and out of an enclosed life of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Finding an apparently perfect world at Akenside Priory, in Northumberland, Catherine trusts herself to a group of twenty silent women, believing she is trusting herself to God. As the beauty and mystery of an ancient way of life enfold her, she surrenders herself wholly to its power, quite unaware of the complexity and dangers that lie ahead.
Cut off from the wider world for decades, the community has managed to evade accountability to any authority beyond itself. When Sister Catherine realizes that a mesmerizing cult of the personality, with the distortions it entails, has replaced the ancient ideal of religious obedience, she is faced with a dilemma. Will she submit to this, or will she be forced to speak out?
An exploration of the limits of trust, Cloistered shows us how far youthful idealism can take us along the road of self-surrender, and of how much harm is done when institutional flaws go unacknowledged. Catherine's honest account of her time in the monastery - and her dramatic flight from it - is both a love song to a lost community and an exploration of what is most compelling, yet most potentially destructive when closed human groups become laws unto themselves.
With so much wonder and worry in the world right now, how are you dealing? Where do you go to locate your calm? Does it come in a shape? Something you taste? What does your worry and wonder smell like? The big gap in the generations isn't a numbers thing, it's the idea of wanting to work. So many company leaders keep telling me, "It'll stop when it hits their paycheck." That's not an answer, they're getting another job. Loyalty takes a hit. They want more money. Loyalty takes another hit. Those who are sticking around already have too much work on their plates. Loyalty takes another hit.
Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people.

All bets are off as Food Network's test kitchen opens up its doors late night in the new eight-episode series Wildcard Kitchen, where fan-favorite chefs put their money where their mouth is during a high-stakes culinary card game. In each episode, host Eric Adjepong takes over the test kitchen after hours with an exclusive invitation for three chefs to bring $5,000 to play across three hands of his underground culinary poker game. The competitors, who all know each other well, have scores to settle and personal stakes to lose as they battle to create dishes based on the cards they are dealt and bet using their own instincts and cold hard cash. The luck of the draw determines the dishes and cooking time, while wildcards deal unpredictable challenges into the mix that test the chefs like never before. From surf-and-turf with peanut butter to live crab with kimchi, anything can happen in Wildcard Kitchen as mystery guest judges use blind taste tests to determine who walks away the high roller with bragging rights and cash from their fellow chefs. Wildcard Kitchen premiered Tuesday, March 12th at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network.
"Wildcard Kitchen makes viewers feel like they are behind-the-scenes for an exclusive late-night poker game with their favorite chefs," said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery. "The competition and good-natured trash talk is fierce, funny and unlike anything Food Network has offered."
So many seasons of growth for this one family of deer. The innocence of the early moments before walking. Learning how to blend into the forest floor to not be so easily identified. Within minutes this new seed will deepen it's story while discovering the creek leading to the lake. None of this was here in 1997! Then I heard in my heart, "Plant trees. Many many trees." Then nature began a new story.
