Ben had bigger dreams than serving chai lattes to hipsters. He had wanted to be a singer and a songwriter, but life doesn’t always follow the script we try to write. Ben has a family and bills to pay. So when he’s offered a manager position at the coffee shop, his financial problems seemed to be solved. Then a new reality television show — The Song — comes to town. Without him knowing it, Ben’s precocious 10-year-old daughter has entered Ben in the competition. Now Ben must decide if he’ll pick up the microphone, along with a shattered relationship he left behind, to pursue the life he was meant to lead. Will Ben, in following his dream, lose himself?

It is on a sad note I inform you that someone's beautiful ginger kitty was hit tonight on Wallace Rd 😞 Description: About 1-2 years old, ginger tabby.

I didn't witness the incident, but rather I found him/her on my way home from work this evening. I picked the little darling up, and laid it on the berm (on the left side of the road, not far down from New World.)

For obvious reasons I didn't take photos; if this is your furbaby I am so, so sorry for your loss 😞 I prayed over this baby, and pray you too will find comfort in this grief and loss ♥
