You‘re Doing Fine Oklahoma...Forgotten Women of LawtonLooking into old cases can be downright infuriating.
Why aren't they solved easily just like on TV?
The answer is...sometimes Investigating agencies don't even keep a file on a cold case, much less have a team dedicated to solving them.
This is a very small fraction of the unsolved homicides of women in Lawton, Oklahoma from the 1970's and 1980's.
If you're mad, please start contacting agencies to help them see that there are people who care.

#WeGotGoals by aSweatLifeThis #WeGotGoals HostFUL Episode is Full of Gratitude PracticesPrior to Thanksgiving week, aSweatLife hosted a breakfast-and-learn focused on gratitude practices - a buzzy topic to be sure, but one that we were excited to talk about in a very different way.
Editor In Chief Kristen Geil led us through a few gratitude visualization exercises, and we all went into the day feeling all kinds of warm-fuzzies alongside the rest of the 50 attendees. On this episode of the podcast, the four hosts break down what we did during that breakfast-and-learn and why we did it, as well as what our own gratitude practices look like.

You'd be way, way wrong.
As Kline will matter-of-factly tell you, he grew up in an abusive environment in Battle Creek, Michigan.
