Announcing 30 Day Notice VIA @kaiology




Announcing...

 

 

 

 

Kori Maitland leaves behind everything that matters to find herself. In her search she travels from the east coast to the Midwest to find the love of her life. At least, that's what she believes. After moving across the country and a five year relationship with Layla Bradford, Kori is given a 30 day notice. Although Kori didn't believe that Layla would leave, she does and Kori is left with the challenges of dealing with a broken heart, being left on the west coast, and permanent employment. As Kori struggles to get her life back together she realizes that Layla's 30 day notice was not the first one she had ever received. Kori deals with all the notices as she looks back over the past five years of the relationship. As she tries to mend her broken heart she travels back to the Midwest to find a job and to hopefully start a business. It isn't until Kori gets back to the Midwest that the betrayal from old friends turns her world upside down. Kori finds herself faced with eviction, an accident, a cheating lover, and her past.

 

Can Kori find who she is without losing herself along the way? Or will she succumb to the trials in life without reaching her intended goal?

Eblast: Bradley Fowler, Author of 3 Books to help his plight to ban inequality #michlit


Equality Belongs To All Regardless of Religious Beliefs

A detailed look at religious lore
 
         A riveting novel 

   An LGBT Empowerment Guide            
  (Accord, Hernandez-Montiel v. I.N.S. (9th Cir. 2000) 225 F. 3d 1084, 1093 ["Sexual orientation and sexual identity...are so fundamental to one's identity that a person should not be required to abandon them."];Egan v. Canada, supra, 2 S.C.R. 513, 528 ["whether or not sexual orientation is based on biological or physiological factors, which may be a matter of some controversy, it is a deeply personal characteristic that is either unchangeable or changeable only at unacceptable personal costs"].)
     Even more, many religious followers neglect to understand the power the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches have over their individual religious beliefs; and because of this, America continues to grow divided on such issues as equality for same-sex couples. However, 2 Corinthians 8:14 instructs: ...but by equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want; that there may be equality… 
     As a result, author B.L. Fowler has not only compiled some thought-provoking evidence that deserves analyzing. But this Universal Life Church Monastery ordained minister  and certified paralegal has spent the last five years, feverishly developing an astounding journey, which proves the Scriptures still have purpose in today’s society.
After all, Matthew 22:29 instructs: Ye err not knowing the Scriptures or the power of God. 
# # #
Also, author B. L. Fowler has written Why Homosexuals Deserve Equality Rights-An Empowerment Guide. This enthralling guide is packed with case law from the Supreme Court, Constitutional law, Christian scripture that supports equality for all, regardless of sexual orientation; and, personal testimony from “Survivor” Series winner- Richard Hatch,and Penn State College Professor Mel See Sholtz.        
We Err Not Knowing Or Studying The Scriptures Matthew 22:29 by B.L. Fowler (Kindle Edition - Nov 16, 2011) - Kindle eBook

These comprehensive mandatory procedures will clarify and streamline the processing of film credits for Alaska. It included putting on a training seminar for Alaska CPAs in January.
