Larry Winget! Not Just Your Average Okie From Muskogee!

Oklahoma native, Larry Winget, is not another country singer lamenting the sorrows of life!  Well known and trademarked as "The Pitbull of Personal Developement," Winget turned his heels on a dime, forged a new look, designed some boots and took off in a world of motivational speakers.

In the world of "happy talk" and elevator speeches, Winget snapped one day and got in the face of a heckler who turned out to be his inspiration for the future of his new style.

Directly, but not rudely, Larry Winget's style is more common sense, with down to earth, realistic advice on topics such as finances, kids and career choices.

Larry Winget has appeared in every major media outlet and magazine, he makes a mean cover subject!  His books  made the New York Times and Wall Street Journal best sellers list 5 times.  Must be something he said?

Indeed, if there is a lesson to be learned from the Larry Winget story, it is to simply embrace one's individuality.

"My philosophy is discover your uniqueness and learn to exploit it in the service of others," he says. "Becoming authentic is a hard thing for people to do, but I always encourage people to find out who they really are, to discover their edge just a bit."  (Randy Cordova The Arizona Republic)

Disabling Secrets Empowers Our Truth

I was in the early stages of my pregnancy when in my childhood home discovered my mother dead on the kitchen floor from a single gunshot to the head. My father dead in the bedroom a self-inflicted bullet to his forehead. I was unable to move past the recording in my mind “if only I had returned an hour earlier, I could have saved her.”

With my new marriage already in trouble prior to the tragedy I had already secured the services of a divorce lawyer. The person to whom I married was among other issues writing bad checks all over town, including the restaurant where we had our wedding reception. The owners were friends of mine and did not press charges in the matter for several months. After the funeral, I decided God must have had some reason to spare my life as documentation would show my father had planned on taking my life with my mother’s that night.

I took the traumatic experience as a sign from God and decided my baby needed a father and to give the relationship another chance. The pregnancy and subsequent delivery of my baby saved my life. I had a reason to live, to look forward to each new day. The marriage however was no picnic. My child’s father had a recreational drug habit, often disappearing for days without a word. When he was home “hide and go seek” was a favorite mental exercise along with " you remember" or "forge that signature" were a few of his favorites. As an example money and valuables would vanish. When I would ask about these items my child’s father’s replied “I must be losing it” or he would use my parents deaths and then question me as if I were imagining things.

I did not realize it then, but I do now. I allowed the familiar fear and repetitive criticism of my abusive father from the ashes of the earth to play a major role in my adult life. I did not know how to change the messages on my victim tape, etched in my spirit from the moment I came out of the birth canal.

Maintaining the Teflon imagine in public was easy as long as I did not discuss my married life, including the court and custody battle. I could count on one hand how many people even knew I had a child after the divorce. Keeping women and children safe became a twenty-four hour, seven days a week job. It did not lessen the pain of my child being gone, it just kept my mind occupied.

As I forged ahead trying to fight the legal system for my son, I knew it was lost before it began. The tactics used by my child’s father were stronger than me. In 2005, when I released my second book the father of my child sent letters with court documents via fax to people in the media and places where I was scheduled at stores for book signings. The words he wrote and sent are not worth reprinting. His actions spoke volumes as to his level of pure anger over any accomplishment that excluded him. Winning full custody of my child was not enough, he wanted me to continue to fear the hold he once had over me. This stunt one of several was done in an effort to discredit me and affect my livelihood.

Now as I am about to release two new books, once again, my child’s father sneaks in illegally and without my knowledge submits forged documents to have the case file from 1993 re-opened. The sealed court documents are now open to the public as I discussed in Fridays post.

By disabling secrets we release in us the power to move forward and create positive change.
In 1996, in a dedication to my child in my first book “Defending Our lives” I wrote: “And finally, to my precious gift of love and joy, my child. It is for you that I have written this book. It is my hope that someday you understand that I wanted the world to be a better place.”

For all eternity, a mother’s love always lives in their child’s heart. And that is something no one can ever take away!

Murdered Infant Was A Life, Not A Toy Doll

Take a good look at these two individuals who starved their 5 month old helpless, infant child.
Neither one of them should ever, see the light of day। There are those who would possibly defend this man and woman making excuse's such as they had a troubled past or a history of mental illness themselves and the general pubic should not be so hard on the parents of the murdered child. I disagree. We have to hold those who commit these unimaginable crimes of horror, accountable. We must stop using the abuse and mental illness "cushion" as an excuse and a defense in these particular crimes. This is not a doll, This was a human life!

Journal Register-Peoria, IL , Benjamin Sargent died with his eyes open, fists clenched and strapped into a car seat after eight days without food or water, authorities say।
The 5-month-old was dropped off at his parents’ house on Feb. 4, wearing a bright-blue snowsuit and strapped into his car seat. Eight days later, he was found in the filth-strewn home in the same position, Peoria County State’s Attorney Kevin Lyons said Wednesday during a bond hearing for the parents, Tracy D. Hermann, 21, and James E. Sargent, 23, both of Peoria, who are charged with murder for their son’s death.
“It’s the worst case of child neglect we have seen since the turn of this century,” Lyons said afterward. “(On Tuesday), I told (Peoria Police) Chief (Steven) Settingsgaard that this case even rattled me.”
The charges state the parents’ actions, or lack thereof, were “brutal and heinous ... indicative of wanton cruelty,” factors that could mean they face up to 100 years in prison if convicted.
Lyons also said he might seek the death penalty for the two. State law allows a capital charge if the accused is older than 17 and the victim is younger than 12.
“He died from starvation due to neglect from these two defendants, his parents,” Lyons said, spitting out the last word with contempt.
Circuit Judge Glenn Collier ordered Sargent and Hermann held without bond, pending a hearing this afternoon, when it is expected that Lyons will present more evidence as to why the two should not be released pending trial.
Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said Benjamin weighed 10 pounds when he was found by police. He was nearly eight pounds at birth, she said.
Reading from a prepared statement, Lyons said police found the infant sitting in his own waste, all the while strapped into the seat, which was in a crib.
A person who was staying at an unattached garage adjacent to the house had seen Benjamin at some point, thought it was “odd” that he was still on the living room floor after being dropped off and moved him, car seat and all, into the other room.
There Benjamin sat for eight days, most of which both Hermann and Sargent were home, “playing video games, watching TV, feeding and caring for themselves,” Lyons said afterward.
Police had interviewed Sargent, who at first told them he had moved the baby “once or twice,” but later conceded that he might not have moved Benjamin at all during the week, Lyons said.
Hermann’s last contact with her son was the night before police were notified. Then, she allegedly told police she “looked at the baby in the crib and presumed he was sleeping, so she said she stuck a bottle between the baby and the side of the car seat so that when he woke up, he could grab it and feed himself,” Lyons said in open court.
The house, Lyons said, was in complete disarray, with clothing everywhere and spoiled food left out. The temperature in the baby’s room was nearly 80 degrees, he said.
Hermann then left for Iowa to meet with a man she had met over the Internet, the prosecutor said, noting that she allegedly told police “ Benjamin was not her duty and that it was James’ responsibility.”
Prosecutors from Lyons’ juvenile division have already begun proceedings to permanently remove Hermann’s 3-year-old daughter from the home.

Parents: Time To Find Out Who Your Kids Are Dating

We never really pay attention or think much about our kids being in an abusive relationship। We tell them to stay away from strangers or never to put their drink down at a party, but, as parents do we ever ask and check in with our kids and their relationships? As a parent, why not consider printing a copy of this off and either sitting down with your teenager and discussing the questions or lightly mention that you saw this and thought it might be of interest and leave it at that। Ask about their friends, if they suspect, they are in an unhealthy situation at the moment.
