A King without a Kingdom

A child with royal blood, covered in rags miseducated simply cause of another man's past yet he possesses qualities of a leader destined for greatness if he can see beyond the people but when the streets watching, egos start flaring that same little boy will eventually stop caring because kings must be cultivated, groomed, and guided but where is his kingdom? it must be hiding so this kingdomless king barters with ignorance arms himself with genocide, becoming a national hindrance all this because a king was miseducated of his heritage and place in this opulent nation a King? how so, when he breeds destruction? yet, we see the potential in a boy whose suffering does his checkered past makes him less that a king? his bloodline hasn't changed or does that mean anything? they say life is unforgiving and you reap what you sow but now he acknowledges his shortcomings, while retrieving his cloak being miseducated early, now motivates his desire to know his desire to right his faults and ultimately grow but this king, will the world ever acknowledge him? As a king, The One Without A Kingdom

Beauty queen contestant Miss World Canada Anastasia Lin is being silenced by the Miss World competition over her critique of China's human rights abuses. Many of the Miss World corporate sponsors are Chinese companies who have pressured the competition from allowing Miss Lin to even speak on human rights - her official platform.  The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Hollywood Reporter have reported that there is Chinese pressure to not have the pageant event become embroiled in Lin's activism.  Marion Smith, executive director of The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, whose organization has partnered with Miss Lin for her new film, The Bleeding Edge, says: “The Bleeding Edge stands as an example of the kind of honest critique of the communist system we need in the popular conscience. The repression and torture of China’s prisoners of conscience is simply appalling, and China has tried desperately to hide this reality. Tibetans, Uyghurs, house Christians, members of Falun Gong, and human rights activists have shown remarkable courage in the face of communist intimidation; it is time we start to recognize what that courage costs.” Despite Miss Lin being able to speak on this subject, The Bleeding Edge premieres tonight.  What: US Film Premiere:The Bleeding Edgeand Q&A with Director Leon Lee Where: The Landmark Theater E Street, 555 11th St NW, Washington, DC 20004 When: December 14, 2016 from 6:30PM to 9:00PM Registration: Visit VOC’s Eventbrite page to register. #China #WashingtonDC #BeautyPagent #TheLandmarkTheater #USfilm #TheBleedingEdge #MissLin #Eventbrite #VictimsofCommunism #Communism #NewFilm #MarionSmith #AnastisiaLin #humanrightsactivists #HollywoodReport #CNN #FilmPremiere #Tickets

I had initially thought I would do a rainbow of colors for this week's layout since it's my birthday this weekend. I even had the cutest birthday decorative embellishments picked out weeks in advance. But for some reason, I wasn't feeling it when it came time to decorating for this week. Instead, I felt the desire to go with a black & white layout featuring these absolutely adorable diary stickers. It's so simple yet fun - a perfect fit for my mood this week. #happyplanner #blackandwhite #diarystickers #rabbitanddog #plannerlayout #marionsmith
