Man. Times are tough.
I haven’t struggled like this in I don’t know how long.
Just when I think I’m kinda caught up, more bills come my way.
You see, with vendor season, to secure your spot that’s months away, you have to pay for it now or lose your spot. Hundreds of dollars of invoices are on

He knew she had just became an “adult.” They did contact him and tell him to not contact her anymore. He’d been grooming her for years.

Please. Keep open, honest conversations with young adults in your life. Sadly they are not immune to predators.

Let them know you’ll always listen.

teenager.

Predators were in physical form, they still are but now in online form too.

My niece showed me an email she received from her former teacher that she felt was inappropriate. I agreed. I called the police. Because she had JUST turned 18, like 2 weeks earlier, they couldn’t do anything.

I caught my landlord looking in on me when I was alone, living in a bungalow, when I was 20.

A car with a male driver circled the block many times when I was walking to work when I was 20.

I don’t know how many men stopped to ask me if I wanted a ride when I was a

Predators and young women/men

We talk to our youth about predators, those who prey and groom children

But continue the conversation when they’re 18-22 years old too, please.

I was approached by a pimp when I was 18.

A mini skirt and fish net stockings were bought for me for my “video delivery”

Airport Security didn’t open until 4 am so as I was sitting waiting to line up, I sent Brandon a text - any updates? “It’s a girl, we just finished up!” and he added a photo!!

I was supposed to arrive in Grande Prairie on January 27 but my flight ended up being delayed until the 28th at 5:30 am.

My dear friend Kathy was picking me up at 1:30 am to take me to the airport. But at midnight, Ashley text me… She got up and her pants were wet. I said

Hey!

Did you know the movie “Life on the Line” with John Travolta was mostly filmed in Langley, Fort Langley and Maple Ridge. When they showed the Hilltop Cafe sign, I was like Hey!

Anyway, working away. Feeling down lately. Just focusing on work. 🙏🏽🪶
