Life Philosophy - "The notion that strong, empowered women are often dismissed as having "attitudes" rather than legitimate standards and principles is a frustratingly common occurrence. These women, who refuse to compromise their values and self-respect, are frequently painted as difficult or confrontational simply for standing up for themselves and what they believe in. However, this perspective completely misses the mark. Rather than "attitudes," these women possess an unwavering sense of self-worth, a refusal to be treated with anything less than the respect they deserve, and a determination to live according to their own moral compass. They have standards - standards of behavior, standards of treatment, standards of integrity - that they will not lower or abandon, no matter the pressure to do so. This is not attitude or defiance for its own sake, but a confident assertion of their identity and an unapologetic commitment to their principles. Strong women understand their own worth, and they will not be shamed or intimidated into compromising it. Their strength lies not in aggression or hostility, but in their self-possession, their authenticity, and their steadfast refusal to be anything other than who they are. It is this very strength that some seek to dismiss as a mere "attitude" - a tragic mischaracterization that aims to undermine the power and validity of women who dare to live according to their own rules."

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
