Episode Summary:  Nellie Bethel, a dynamic Danish dancer who moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams. She begins by sharing her early dance experiences in Denmark, where she started dancing at the age of 10, focusing on MTV-style classes. Her first professional role was in a street dance rendition of "The Nutcracker," which ignited her desire to travel to New York and delve into the roots of hip-hop. However, an encounter with a friend who offered her a place to stay in LA shifted her plans, leading her to fall in love with the vibrant house dance scene in the new city. Nellie discusses the challenges she faced in obtaining a U.S. visa, highlighting the cultural differences between Denmark and the United States. Accustomed to the modesty of Danish culture, she found it difficult to promote herself assertively—a necessity in the American visa process.  Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Nellie navigated the competitive dance industry, initially grappling with auditions and adapting to the commercial dance style, including performing in high heels. She shares pivotal moments in her career, such as being booked for a Super Bowl performance with Madonna but being released due to her height. Undeterred, she later secured a long-term collaboration with Jennifer Lopez for her Las Vegas residency.  Concluding the interview, Nellie expresses profound gratitude for the support she's received throughout her journey and reaffirms her commitment to inspiring others. She acknowledges both the challenges and rewards of the dance industry, urging dancers to embrace their unique paths, remain dedicated, and persistently work towards achieving their dreams.

Renowned rapper and entrepreneur Sean Combs, famously known as Diddy, disputes recent sexual harassment allegations against him. Within the intricate tangle of 2024 court documents, amid the bustling hum of XL Motors, Combs finds himself at the center of a storm, sternly repudiating the accusations that threaten his reputation.Of note is that fellow artist Meek Mill, although not directly identified in the lawsuit, conspicuously dots the legal narrative. Discerning readers may find their curiosities piqued at the subtle hints and veiled references to his potential involvement.These allegations present a significant blow to Combs' highly esteemed public image. Known for dominating the music industry, his immensely successful career spans decades, from his days working as a talent director at Uptown Records to founding his own record label, Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group.As a music producer, Combs has fostered the careers of multiple reputable artists, helping to mold and shape the dynamic soundscape of the industry. As an entrepreneur, he has shown his versatility by branching out into various ventures including fashion and premium spirit brands. An extremely visible figure, any tarnish on his reputation could have significant impact on his varied fields of interest.Combs' adamant denial underscores the complexity and intensity of the situation at hand. Accustomed to the spotlight, he handles the unfolding controversy with a surprising degree of discretion and decorum, underscoring his resolve to maintain innocence.In the legal sphere, anonymity is often granted to offer protection, thus, the indirect reference to Meek Mill raises more questions than answers. Known for an illustrious career in the music industry, Mill's potential involvement raises eyebrows and fuels speculations across both public and legal spheres.Mill, just like Combs, rose to fame after years of perseverance amidst initial challenges at the advent of his career. His chart-topping hits and collaborations with top-tier celebrities have placed him as one of the staples in the global hip-hop scene. How this situation could potentially affect his career remains an uneasy question hanging in the air.Situations such as these serve as important reminders of the legal scrutiny and public judgment celebrities often face. Whether Combs' denial will hold up in court remains to be seen and the indirect involvement of Meek Mill adds another layer of intrigue. In the world where fame, reputation and public perception play monumental roles, both Combs and Mill must navigate their vessels with even more care now. Also, it calls upon the public and fans to respond with mature empathy and withhold hasty judgement until the full truth is revealed.

I was curious where OpenlyGray.com was going when I saw a social media post about it from a business gal pal.  Was it a site for older people with Gray Hair?  Nope! I ‘got it' and smiled. It's way cooler than that! It's a movement. It's an attitude adjustment about aging! Lord knows we need one. Thanks to the longevity revolution we are in a unique time and place in history. Until now many in their 50's 60's, 70's, and beyond believed it was time to stop. That isn't the thinking of older adults today at all! I Invited Lee St. James and gal pal Brooke Stachyra of Openly Gray, to join my show to share their purpose with Openly Gray and their big disruptive plan!  Lee St. James is the Co-Founder /Creative Director of Openly Gray Lee is a Cannes award-winning, multidisciplinary CD who has led major brand content development for over 20 years. From strategy to conception through execution Lee believes in partnering cross-functionally to build consensus and ensure projects meet all milestones, deadlines, budget, and business results requirements. Accustomed to fast-paced and start-up environments. He is constantly onboarding new technologies and innovative processes while ensuring compliance with corporate and client standards.  Brooke Stachyra handles Partner/Client Success for Openly Gray Brooke is a social media consumer specialist. Proud former NBC Page, longtime (recovering) journalist-writer, and storyteller with a million tales! NBC News, Time Inc/People Magazine veteran. Former content creator for Church and Dwight brands Arm & Hammer, OxiClean, and Trojan. Social media contributor for the American Cancer Society and CUNY. Grown X woman, lover of all things 80s. Name that tune champion! Foodie and travel enthusiast, bougie barganista, and expert in anything about Bravo's Real Housewives.   They are on a Mission to Loudly Call Attention To These Facts:    The Gray Market has $8,000,000,000,000 (that's trillion) waiting to be seen   For the next 30 years, 10,000+ people will turn 65. Every. Single. Day.   In our conversation Lee said, “When you turn 50, this is something that we observed years ago. We being the royal we, we observed years ago that you turn 50 and all of a sudden you become invisible. You become invisible to the opposite sex. You become invisible to your friends, sometimes even your family, but definitely to the marketing world. Marketers are taught from day one that you go after the 17 to, say, 45. Sometimes people switch it to 17- to 54-year-old market, but then after that, you stop. “ “Well, times have changed, and as you mentioned, there's $8 trillion in assets at play that are controlled by what we call the gray market, which is 50-plus. To put that in context, we saw a great little snippet about if you put this in context, this would be if the gray market in the U.S. was a country. It would be the third largest GDP in the world.” “There's so much more to this audience and that's why we are Openly Gray. And there are two sides of the organization. One is called OpenlyGray.com. We are marketers. That's our goal. We want to get clients to start recognizing this audience and not leave all that money on the table.” “On the other side of the coin though, we're advocates. So openlygrey.org is an advocacy organization, anti-ageism, pro-helping people grow older and grow into the next phases of life. And even there's an offshoot called Cozy Homes Community where we're trying to help build communities for 50 plus folks.”   It's a big mission for Openly Gray who feels their biggest hurdle is to get relatively young brand managers and clients who are still in their 30s and maybe 45 to recognize that this is an audience that they are missing out on.   Brooke said,  “It's unfortunate, but what Lee is saying is absolutely true, that you have the people that are in the power that are making the decisions that are creating the content aren't seeing us. We are invisible and we have to make them see the dollar sign. There is expendable income. There's money.”   I'm personally passionate about encouraging people to transform how they think, feel and act, to embrace and enjoy and celebrate whatever stage of life they're at.    And like the folks at Openly Gray says, it doesn't matter how much hair you have on your head or what color it is or whether you have any of it all, it's the mindset and the attitude!   Enjoy learning more about Openly Gray and their growing movement that's not stopping anytime soon in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show.

This is where our story begins, with our main characters Wei, Li, and Jing preparing to embark on their heart-pounding chopsticks journey.Zh: 魏，一个刚刚来到北京漂泊的青年人，面对匆忙长城的人流，内心充满了忐忑。他在家乡习惯了手抓饭，却第一次尝试用筷子吃长长的面条。这对他来说无异于攀爬一个高峰。En: Wei, a young man who has recently drifted into Beijing, feels uneasy amidst the bustling crowds of the Great Wall. Accustomed to eating with his hands back in his hometown, he nervously attempts to use chopsticks to eat the long noodles for the first time. To him, this task feels like climbing a tall peak.Zh: 李，已经在北京繁华的生活中打拼数年的老鸟，想要帮助他的朋友魏。他总是轻松自如的挟起筷子，面条就仿佛顺着他的意愿舞动起来。En: Li, a seasoned city dweller who has been hustling in Beijing for years, wants to help his friend Wei. He effortlessly wields the chopsticks, making the noodles dance as if they are following his every command.Zh: 静，是这家小饭馆的老板娘，曾帮助过无数像魏一样的新北京人。她解链拿起筷子，慈祥的笑容总是能让人平静下来。En: Jing, the proprietor of this small restaurant, has helped countless new Beijing residents like Wei. She gracefully picks up the chopsticks, her compassionate smile always bringing a sense of calm.Zh: 魏依靠着李和静的教导，开始尝试挟起筷子。他时而打结，时而散乱，甚至还把面条弄洒一地。但他没有放弃，他用尽了全身的力气，挟住那无法驾驭的面条。En: With guidance from Li and encouragement from Jing, Wei starts to try picking up the chopsticks. Sometimes fumbling, sometimes messy, he even spills noodles all over the floor. However, he does not give up. With all his might, he grasps the uncontrollable noodles.Zh: 李悄声指导魏，静耐心的鼓励他，饭馆周围的世界仿佛静止。终于，在大家滚烫的眼神中，魏成功的将那怪异的两根棍子夹住一根面条，将其准确的送入口中。En: Quietly directed by Li and patiently supported by Jing, the world around the restaurant seems to stand still. Finally, in the heated gazes of everyone, Wei successfully clamps down on the odd pair of sticks with a noodle in between and precisely delivers it to his mouth.Zh: 静露出满意的微笑，李胸有成竹的瞥了他一眼。魏喜极而泣，胜利的味道似乎比面条本身更加鲜美。En: Jing displays a satisfied smile, while Li gives him a knowing glance. Overwhelmed with joy, Wei tears up, as the taste of victory seems more flavorful than the noodles themselves.Zh: 这是他们的筷子之旅，一程美好而简约的旅行。这并不只是关于如何用筷子吃面条，更是关于勇气，关于友谊，关于坚持不懈。在灯红酒绿的北京都市中，他们找到了彼此。而这一切，都源于一根滑腻的面条和一对新奇的筷子。En: This is their chopsticks journey, a beautiful and simple voyage.

Honing in your message is such a valuable communication skill set.   —Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN   As a board-certified pediatrician, author, podcaster and social media maven, Dr. Carole Keim has seamlessly transitioned from meeting clients in clinics to connecting with them in non-traditional ways.    Dr. Keim has been providing reliable medical advice to new and anxious parents all around the world in formats that are accessible from anywhere, meets new parents where they are, and offers just-in-time learning – particularly during the first few years of childhood.   Interested in learning more about how healthcare professionals can use social media? Check out this insightful interview with Dr. Carole Keim. ▶️    ✔️ How it all started – Dr. Carole's WHY Dr. Carole embarked on her social media journey during the pandemic when everyone was relying on online platforms. While transitioning to house call practice, she noticed that many parents were seeking information online instead of bringing their children to clinics.  Realizing the abundance of misinformation available, Dr. Carole decided to create short videos. Through platforms like TikTok, she successfully connected with people worldwide as her engaging content went viral, supporting everyone, regardless of their location.   Accustomed to delivering short presentations and having vast experience from working in various clinics, Dr. Carole found it effortless to create 1-minute videos. This was her way of sharing valuable information on different topics repeatedly with parents and while addressing panicked phone calls she received during the middle of the night. ✔️Why use social media as a Healthcare Professional? What made her social media channels so popular was that she didn't originally have any intention of selling anything. Instead, she simply wanted to provide valuable information to people. However, her platform unexpectedly became a means to share her book “The Baby Manual” with those who needed a no-fluff guide for new moms.  This led to the creation of a successful podcast, which has been downloaded over 50,000 times and listened to in more than 135 countries. The podcast even reached the top of the charts in both the Pediatrics and Motherhood categories.    ✔️ Tips, tricks & advice to get started If you're a healthcare professional who's just starting to use social media, it's completely normal to feel a bit nervous about the possibility of someone misinterpreting your medical information and causing negative outcomes.  However, bear in mind that while medical advice is personal, there are universal truths to rely on. It's important to embrace your own unique voice and have confidence in your expertise. At the same time, advise your audience to first seek their own local healthcare providers who have a personal understanding of their specific situation.    Make sure your communication is clear and concise. The goal of medical education is to establish a strong connection with your audience and provide them with actionable and useful information that gets straight to the point.   Dr. Carole Keim MD is a board-certified pediatrician from Boulder, CO.  She is the author of The Baby Manual: The Ultimate Guide for New Parents, Bye Bye Boobies (a coloring book to help toddlers who are ready to stop breastfeeding), My Happiness Journal (a mindfulness journal with guided prompts that help you to feel happier as you write in it), and Holistic Mamas Handbook.   Dr. Keim believes that a holistic, patient-centered approach is best, and believes in empowering patients and parents to take care of their own health and their child's wellbeing.  She wants to help everyone everywhere (and is doing it!) with her podcast, book, and social media accounts.    Website link: linktr.ee/drkeim  The Baby Manual: The Ultimate Guide for New Parents: https://amzn.to/47OYLud Bye Bye Boobies: https://amzn.to/46ShkMG  My Happiness Journal: https://amzn.to/46NPQbi Holistic Mamas Handbook: https://amzn.to/3GxdHkT    #HCSM #HealthcareSocialMedia #MedEd #MedicalEducation #Patient  #Physicians #Nurses    ------------------------------------------------------------------------About MelissaBPhD Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN.

Israel is in the depths of a bloody war. Jews inside and outside of Israel don't feel safe. Antisemitism across the world is on the rise. Anything with a Jewish symbol on it is targeted. Echoes from the PTSD-induced horrors of the holocaust sound louder than ever. How does one smile during these dark times? Influencer and promoter Uri Cohn has an answer. Embracing his hard-to-hide Israeli identity, he walks the streets of "Jew York" proudly. Accustomed to the protests happening in the Big Apple, along with the rallies and events focused around Israel, Uri has put his talent for comedy and memes to the test. His tongue-in-cheek jokes step up to the mic on Bad Jew, hosted by Chaz Volk, to give listeners hope and enthusiasm during a time filled with so much hate.  About Uri Cohn Uri Cohn was born in Israel and proudly served as a medic in the Israeli Defense Forces. He graduated from Shuk Mahne Yehuda University. Uri has a long history of creating memes and posting funny content online related to Israel.

On this particular day, Salt Lake City's emergency services call on Sergeant Mitch Vetere. Accustomed to rescuing lost hikers, he goes to the scene they tell him of without any anxiety. In his 35 years of service however, he has never experienced this...

Melissa Accordino, MD, is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Program Director of the Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program at Columbia University's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. Through leading clinical research trials in cancer she has been bestowed grants from high profile foundations like The American Society of Clinical Oncology, The Hope Foundation, and The American Cancer Society, and many more. A leader in cancer research, she aims to improve the quality and delivery of cancer care and cancer survivorship within oncology. “I tell my fellows, go meet with these big wigs. If you're the one person in their day not asking them for a bunch of money and you just want some advice and let them talk, that'll be the highlight of their day.” Accustomed to the reality of mentorship from both sides, Dr. Melissa Accordino joins us in this episode of the Medicine Mentors to remind us that asking for advice is good, but asking for advice early is better. “It's hard to admit that we do need the help and to yield that control...But I think in order to grow and be successful, it's essential." Pearls of Wisdom:   1. Asking for help is good, but asking for help early is the secret sauce. When our teammates need help, we want to be able to take on the burden. And at the same time, when we need the help, we should lean on them. 2. We all have a lot more in common than we think. We can start by finding common ground with our potential mentor and even just make small talk. That makes the relationship build organically and turns it from a skill-based mentorship to life-based mentorship. 3. We should stay true to ourselves. It's important not to sit there to try and tell our mentors what we think they want to hear, because if they're really invested in helping us, then we need to be honest.

A WW2 fantasy: a spy and a pilot take refuge in each other.by PeriodPorn. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Max turned around, still half asleep, pulling my body into the half-moon of his own. We lay on a straw mattress in the loft of a barn that had been taken by the resistance here in rural France, and for modesty's sake we had retreated to either sides of it; a difficult task, now made more challenging by the pilot's movements.He took a deep inhale, his face nestled into the back of my neck, and exhaled warm breath onto my tingling skin. Now, with me in his arms, his nightmares were retreating into the dark recess of his subconscious.We had slept beside each other for four nights now. That was how long it had been since we had found each other on a backroad from the border, him separated from his grounded plane and me… well, I had kept myself separate from everything in order to remain undetected. Every night he had been wracked with awful nightmares; this was the first he had touched me in his sleep.I knew that this respite from undoubtedly horrid images should be protected, but an itch inside of me yearned for his hands, now securely fastened at my waist, to animate themselves and explore my body. He had removed his cotton undershirt to sleep better in the heat, and in the dappled moonlight of the barn I could make out the sinews beneath his bare skin.“You hardly know him”, my brain hissed to itself, cannibalistic in it's determination to stifle the urges. “And he's not even awake so he doesn't know what he's doing”-Yet, I tilted my pelvis back ever so slightly. I sighed, trying to mimic the unintentional sounds of someone asleep. The movement made my body arch back into his groin. His body seemed to instinctively tighten around me, welcoming the way the space between us vanished. I felt small, childlike inside his broad, muscular frame.I tilted my pelvis back yet again, hoping the rhythmic movement might stir some kind of consciousness into his lower half. I moaned, as if I was the one having nightmares now. His arms, once slack against my lithe torso, now stiffened.That might have done it.I continued to keep my eyes shut, gripping my arms tighter against his, as if I were protecting myself. The more I created this fiction, the more real it felt. Hadn't I been trying to make myself invisible, protecting myself from enemies this whole time?“Natalie?” He whispered, his Scottish vowels thick and low in his hoarse semi-consciousness.I waited a moment, then pretended to rouse myself. I murmured a little.“Natalie,” he said, more gently this time, “I think you're havin' a nightmare.”You're a sneaky bitch, my brain thought- but his arms were so strong, his chest so firm against my back. I hadn't felt this safe since the start of the war. I was alone then… I had been alone for years. I had used men sexually, of course… but not for my own comfort. Not for my own pleasure. Hadn't I known from the moment he smiled from beneath his RAF cap that this could be a different kind of ally?“You're having a bad dream,” he repeated softly, with a tenderness I almost couldn't bear. As if I'd known him for more than two days. As if the thought of me, my safety, and my unreachable subconscious was of the utmost importance to him.I turned in so I was facing him, curling inwards and tucking my face just below his chin. I would never admit to being frightened by daylight, but in the darkness, I permitted myself this luxury; comfort. I had been frightened for so long, one almost comes to accept it; it was a fear people who did not know wartime would never understand.One of the pilots arms wrapped around my back and scooped me up, the other wrapping underneath my neck to cradle the nape of my hairline. His fingers were coarse unlike mine which were still soft from handling weapons of a slightly different kind: transistor radios.“Shhh,” he whispered sleepily. “It's alright.” His hand was so big that whilst still cupping the back of my head, his thumb could rest against my cheek. It stroked my face calmly, sending chills from the root of my torso up my spine.My breath caught a little, suspended between us. His other arm was still draped around me, no doubt feeling the change in my body. His body stilled too; he was suddenly holding his breath as well. His thumb, however, maintained its steady rhythm.I held my breath still, willing it to edge closer towards my parted lips.And then, it did. I could feel it… His thumb was edging closer and closer towards my lips, and then dared to caress them, catching slowly against my full lower lip as it did.The moment his thumb caught my lower lip, I exhaled, a light breeze brushing against his skin. His thumb lingered there, against the warm and wet skin inside. He was waiting for me to protest, to push him away.The silence between us felt electric. I moved one of my legs to negotiate the space between his, hooking myself around him so that our bodies could press together. With my chest now against his, I could feel the air between us thudding with quickening heartbeats.He did not remove his thumb from the entrance of my mouth. He was waiting for me to give him a signal to proceed.I gently brought his thumb between my teeth. It felt both coquettish and primal; the feeling of something fragile, soft, ready to be destroyed.Yet, his thumb retreated. I might have lost hope there, embarrassed and rejected, were it not for the feeling of his thrust pulsating against my lap. An unmistakable reaction of longing.I should not have worried; his retreating thumb dragged down my chin and neck slowly, leaving a slightly damp residue behind it that cooled quickly in the night air. Simultaneously his other arm brought me even closer to him, his breathing quickening.“Natalie,” he whispered, betraying a deep sense of longing. I knew he wanted me, then. He wanted me quite desperately.But I did not want it to be quick. I wanted it to be slow.I brought my free arm up behind his head so I could drag my fingers from the back of his head to the back of his neck, bringing my face up to meet his. Would he take it from me greedily, as if I were some street woman in a foreign city, an anonymous body that he could hide inside until his grief had retreated?He seemed to sense this. Instead of greedily launching at my mouth, he held me there.“I wish I could see your eyes,” he whispered urgently. “Your eyes…”“You can,” I promised him. “What do you see?”I was terrified of his answer, because I knew that so many men had answers readily prepared for questions like this; it didn't matter who was looking at them or who was asking. Intimacy was a game, a war they could win on foreign shores before returning to their squadrons to regale their mates with their conquests. I felt too deeply for that. Losing this moment to a parlour story meant for male amusement would be too painful.He was silent. Then, in a voice of resignation and sadness:“I saw a lot of pain.”There was no pretence, no air of manipulation. There was familiarity, however; a sense that he recognised it in me because he felt it himself.I held his neck here, hit with a wave of grief for us both. I would have pulled him so close that his body merged with mine, if I could. But this hand released him as soon as it held him there, tracing down the skin of his spine until I could pull it inwards towards our stomachs and continue this unbroken line, ever so slowly, around his side and drag it upwards between us against his almost hairless chest.I felt his heart beating there. His mast continued to throb against me, but it did not cheapen the moment. It intensified it. I knew he wanted me, and that it took everything in him to restrain himself… because he needed me more than he wanted me. He needed me to be here, in whatever way, and he wouldn't do anything to risk it being taken away.“I need you too.” I breathed. He could have me in whatever way he wanted… if that's what he really wanted.I could feel his face tilting towards mine, slowly, until his breath whispered against my mouth. Our lips were so close, his breath sweet and warm, smelling of the mead we'd drank with the resistance soldiers downstairs.His lips were soft against mine. I realised then that I had imagined this moment every time I looked at them, plump and full. His wrested with mine, not trying to part them but just enjoying the way they melted into each other.I was hungrier, it seemed; I gently parted his, daring my tongue to trace within just has his thumb had done only a few moments before. He drank me in. His warm tongue wrapped against mine, sending tingles through every nerve ending available, making me hungrier and hungrier.He finally broke his stillness. He gave in to his urges and grasped my body firmly. He positioned me on top of him as if I weighed nothing. My groin could not be separated from his, seeking heat and pressure, pressing against his shaft and his lower abdomen as I righted myself on top of him.Electricity surged inside of me, moving me to sit up away from his intensifying kiss so that I could straighten my arms and brace them on either side of his shoulders to slowly rock the seat of my body against him. I was abreast a wild horse, willing it to pursue.He groaned quietly, rock-hard beneath me. I continued to work him, wanting to feed the desire I knew was raging inside of him. It became too much to bear; he reached up with one hand and secured it behind my neck, bringing us together so that he could kiss me again, more urgently and messily this time.I slipped one of my arms down against his chest again, wanting to coax the creature that was aching for mine. He almost snarled inside my mouth as he grabbed that same hand and used his body to deftly spin me to my back, pinning both arms up on either side of my head. I exhaled through a smile, exhilarated by his careful control of my body.Now he had me pinned, and with a masterful restraint pulled his crotch away from mine so he could move quickly down towards my base. It was yearning for touch.I found myself nervous; he may not do this for women, I thought. A lot of men don't. Yet his fingers must have found the hem of my silk nightgown resting at my thighs because I could feel the roughness of his touch grazing upwards against my sensitive, soft skin towards my mound.I was not wearing undergarments. The pair I used were precious and currently drying somewhere… does he think me a whore, I worried-He seemed to sense my mind fretting because one of his hands felt down the side of my body slowly, taking in my shape. He was soothing me, willing me to relax. His caress was deliberate, careful, finishing at the side of my body where he gripped my hip, his fingers sinking into my soft arse cheeks.He audibly groaned here, starved for the softness of a woman's body.“Fuck,” he breathed, using his free hand to gently part my knees even further and position himself at the entrance. His head remained above water, however, and I could feel his eyes searching for mine through the dark.“Please…” he begged gruffly.“Please,” I exhaled urgently, bucking my hips upwards in an attempt to bring him closer to me. I felt his dark hair, dark brown and curly in the daylight, tickle the sensitive inner side of my thighs, signalling his descent into heaven.“Slowly,” I begged, my body already wired with so much desire that I felt I might break if he touched me too quickly, or too hard.He slowly kissed along the parting of my lips. This was almost too much; my inhales were short and sharp. He finally slid his warm, wet tongue between the folds ever so slightly, barely reaching the pink beneath that was slickening in preparedness.I groaned now, all other thoughts fleeing my body in anticipation for the moment his tongue would properly enter. When it did, I felt a rush of warmth cascade from my feet upwards. I could hear the sound of his wet tongue against my own moisture, lapping upwards towards the golden crown at the top. He was slow and deliberate, without feeling mechanical or procedural; He was listening to my breath, instructed by the movement and response of my body.I made a guttural sound as he reached the sacred place, his tongue flicking against it gently before massaging around its edges-“Yes,” I gasped, “like that-”But he didn't need my help, because my body was riding against his face, helping him reach the momentum it needed. His tongue quickened its pace, sensing that I was riding towards something that was fast approaching-“I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming” I chanted breathlessly, the ebbing of warmth in every part of my body concentrating into an intense beam that was crescendo-ing into its peak. It had been so long since I felt this.His tongue, darting deftly, was only seconds away from that final stroke. When it finally came, the crest of the wave brought a spilling sensation that had my legs quivering around the sides of his head. Then, my body felt as though it had melted away entirely.He hungrily kissed upwards from my abdomen, resurfacing to kiss my mouth with stubble wet from my release.“Max,” I whispered. I was panting slightly, my eyes still rolling backwards towards the darkness above. I was immobilised. “I'm sorry, I…”“No,” he stopped me. He didn't care if I returned the favour; he was too busy kissing my body lightly, devouring every inch he could. I must have tasted salty with sweat. I smiled, willing myself to return to reality.I reached for his hand, guiding it up towards my breast. His body came with it, softly pressing against mine. I could feel his member was already stiff – it seemed to have only strengthened in the time since I'd last felt it in my hand – but with the mention of my soft breasts, it quivered against my abdomen.His fingers started to gently coax the nipple, sending goosebumps down my torso. He was not like other boys, who grabbed and pinched. He took it into his mouth, sucking ever so gently. My other hand felt for him, moving from the base towards the tip ever so gently.“I could do this to you all night,” he promised me quietly-“No.” It was my turn to stop him. My strength had returned.I slunk downwards towards his cotton pants, bulging against what was within. I pulled them downwards, feeling his legs start to kick them away. We had showered hours before for the first time in months; his body smelled faintly sweet, a musk of summer sweat just starting to descend upon both of us.I kissed the inner sides of his thighs and up around his navel, wanting to draw out this moment for him. I moved unpredictably towards his erection, trusting that in the darkness he was relying on the sensation of touch alone. When I finally and slowly licked the length of his shaft, I heard him gasp in the darkness above me.“Natalie,” he exhaled with something that sounded almost like awe.I continued to slick his shaft with my tongue, working my way up towards the tip carefully, only tempering it ever so delicately. I needed to take it all into my mouth, though; I did, working up and down slowly, creating pressure with my lips as I went.“Ugh,” he groaned, “Oh, Jesus…”I worked him at the same slow pace, feeling his member throb with the base of my tongue. He was writhing beneath me on the bed, his hands grasping for my hair, my arm. The slowness was excruciating-So I replaced the pressure of my mouth with the pressure of my hand, gently increasing the pace. He was in ecstasy, laughing amidst the groans of delight.“You're amazing”, he exhaled in disbelief. I could hear his smile. I would have continued for as long as he would have me, but before long he was begging.“I need to be inside you.”I was quick to oblige, my opening aching with the promise of him. I straddled him once more, one hand bracing gently against his firm abdomen while the other hand guided him inside.There was little resistance; I was already so wet, enveloping him as if we had been designed to take each other and each other alone. He was the one who wanted to go slowly now, starting to buck his own hips up underneath me to feel me tighten around him… but I wanted to stay in control now, in the same way he had taken charge of me.I rocked forwards and back on him, riding him so that my pussy moved up and then back down to the base of his shaft with every stride. It felt as if he were entering me for the first time, over and over. I pinned his arms down, letting him relax into the feeling of being taken.He sat up abruptly, laughing in delight, pulling my torso towards his so that he could position me to be leaning back a little. He held me there easily with one arm, using his strength now to push upwards inside of me, pulsing harder and faster.I groaned, feeling him start to hit the wall of my cervix and hint at that inner spot, a different kind of dulled pleasure starting to awaken. I gripped my legs around the back of his torso to intensify it. He responded by taking both arms around me and standing up, lifting me easily and turning me over onto my back, gently laying me down while still maintaining his anchor inside me.He pumped inside of me here, harder than he had before. I wanted him to. He was starting to give in to his own needs now, rather than only thinking of mine. It was not reckless, or angry; it was deliberate, controlled. He was starving, but I knew too that he would hold out as long as he could.I felt my inner centre start to glow with the promise of a different kind of climax. I was surprised. I let out a low, sustained moan and positioned my legs so that they would tuck over his shoulders. I needed him to go even deeper now.He obliged, pumping. His breath was short; I could hear he was getting closer because he was exerting more and more force in his breaths, trying desperately to hold out. But I wanted him to surrender. With my face beside his head, my soft mews of encouragement were right beside his ears. Nothing was lost on him, and every sound I made egged him on.“I want you,” I said in a low whisper. “I want you.”This was too much for him; he spluttered, his body spasming suddenly. I could feel his rod giving it's final quiver, releasing his load inside of me. This filled me with such intense satisfaction that I rode my own kind of second wave of pleasure.He sighed, falling against my breast bone and burying his head into the side of my neck. He inhaled here, holding my head in his hand, cradling it. The pressure of his body against mine felt like home. I felt safe.“Natalie…” he murmured. I don't know what followed in his mind, what he was thinking but not saying, but it didn't matter. He rolled over onto his side, stroking my face in the darkness. Accustomed to the darkness now, I could see his eyes, searching for mine.I allowed myself to blink once or twice and look up at him. I didn't want to be separated from him… but I tore myself away to clean up.The air was fresh around my body, naked of it's covering, somehow removed in the throes of ecstasy. I hoped this would bring him relief, that he could sleep now, that I would return to the bed to find him sound asleep. His body was sprawled on its back, the moonlight illuminating his gorgeous expanse of chest, muscle and smooth pale skin. I found my place beside him, trying not to disturb. But within moments, he had turned himself inward to hold me again, our bodies returned to their half moons, only now there was only skin separating us.by PeriodPorn for Literotica.

The echoes of past scandals continue to resound in the present as the Murdaugh family saga unfolds. This South Carolina legal dynasty's corruption seems to have seeped through its generational roots, tainting their understanding of rules, regulations, and rational thinking.    The patriarch, Randolph Murdaugh Sr., set the stage as a formidable solicitor in the early 20th century. His practices, while ostensibly legal, raised eyebrows even then, hinting at a pattern of privilege and power that would define the Murdaughs for generations to come.    Fast forward to the present day, and the family's once-hallowed name is mired in scandal, with Alex Murdaugh at the epicenter. Accused of orchestrating the brutal murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, Alex has shocked the nation, leading many to question how corruption has passed through the Murdaugh lineage.    Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program, and Tony Brueski, renowned podcast host, have examined the Murdaugh case extensively. They point to a troubling connection between the family's long-standing sense of entitlement and the seemingly irrational decisions leading to their downfall.    According to Dreeke, when individuals are continually shielded from consequences due to wealth, power, or influence, it can lead to distorted thinking. The rules, as they apply to the rest of society, start to lose meaning for such individuals. This insulation from the real world can potentially lead to irrational behavior and impaired decision-making.    In Murdaugh's case, their vast legal connections and influence in the South Carolina Lowcountry seemingly provided them with a unique immunity, fostering a belief that they were above the law. From the controversial cases tied to the Murdaugh law firm to the alleged theft of settlement money, the family's actions reflect a dismissive attitude towards legal and ethical boundaries.    Brueski suggests that this warped perspective could have been a contributing factor in the shocking crimes Alex Murdaugh stands accused of today. Accustomed to bending the rules without repercussions, he may have believed he could orchestrate a brutal crime and escape detection.    The impact of generational corruption on rational thinking is not limited to the Murdaughs. Still, their case provides a chillingly clear example of how unchecked privilege can breed arrogance, irrationality, and potentially, criminal behavior.    As South Carolina grapples with the fallout of the Murdaugh scandal, it's clear that the family's century-long legacy of power and privilege has left a stain on the state's legal landscape. As investigations continue, there's hope that justice will finally be served, signaling an end to the era where the "rules didn't apply" to the Murdaugh family.

For a week, 2023 loomed as the Year of the Pitch Clock. After two weeks, maybe we started getting used to it. Baseball's ability to inject a foreign object into the game's bloodstream and make you think there's nothing unusual about it is unsurpassed. Before we know it, perhaps we won't notice those enormous advertising patches on the Met uniform sleeves, either (yet somehow be overcome by an uncontrollable urge to visit a certain hospital). Greg and Jeff also share their thoughts on the historical bookends of Mets catching, Francisco Alvarez and Hobie Landrith (26:06)

How do you feel about aging? Are you trying to avoid it at all costs? Are you doing everything you can to prevent it from happening? You may not be able to prevent it, but it's important you understand your emotions regarding what getting older really means to you. 

When metalhead Eric Harper was 15-years-old, his parents announced that the family would be moving to Portugal. Accustomed to his life in the U.S., Eric took the news harshly. But Eric's new experience abroad introduced him to a lifelong passion: classical guitar. “[There's] a pattern of God always having my back and moving me to places I don't want to go to,” he says. In this episode, Jack and Eric talk about the peculiar guidance of the divine throughout life's moments, and the communities we make along the way. Climb with us on this week's Soul Ladder Music!

A song from the 1956 musical "My fair Lady"

Yasmani Grandal is on a mission to return to accustomed levels as the Chicago White Sox plan for 2023. Grandal had a disappointing 2022 season filled with injuries and his offensive production was below his standards. Grandal is in the last year of his contract and has stayed in Chicago this off season to get himself stronger, healthier and better prepared for the grind of 2023. What could go wrong for the White Sox this pat season definitely did. They found all sorts of interesting ways to lose games and struggled to find leadership once Tim Anderson was shelved with an injury in early August. Anderson clearly sets the tone for the White Sox. Would the organization try to give Anderson a contract extension to make him a member of the White Sox for rest of his career? Does Tim Anderson even want that or does he want to test free agency in a few years? The Sox would be wise to make a decision on Tim Anderson sooner rather than later.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to another fan-centric episode as we discuss the off-season path laid out by Rick Hahn during the recent general manager meetings in Las Vegas. The White Sox are believed to be more active in the trade market instead of addressing their issues with money. Could the White Sox actually acquire Sean Murphy from the Oakland A's? What would the Sox have to give up and is focusing on catcher the right course of action? Rick Hahn is hoping that players return to form in 2023 and it sure seems like a strategy by the front office is to hope that guys that underperformed will get back to accustomed levels. It's the season of hope and the Sox are definitely doing that. Thank you for your continued support. Find the podcast everywhere and catch us on our YouTube channel.
