IT’S TIME!! IT’S TIME!! IT’S TIME!!
As I mentioned the other day, writing this book has been a labor of love. A complete and utter labor of love.
Anyone who knows me, knows my story, and reads this book, will know the labor of love and gamut of emotions put into each word.
I’m amazed as I sit back and read through these pages and think, “Who wrote this?!”
Then I hear a gentle reminder, “Remember when you invited me in each time you sat at the keyboard?”
Yes … indeed. These words … this book … and the heart behind it is Divinely written. I believe that with every fiber of my being!
<— This kid, Taylor Rio, my soon-to-be eighteen year old … wise beyond her years.
A living example of forgiveness and grace. It was one my most favorite things to do, to be able to dedicate this book to her … my first babygirl.
Taylor, you inspire me more than you might ever know. Stay strong my love and live in the plans your Savior has laid out for you.

Attractive element of content. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and in accession capital to claim that I acquire in fact loved account your weblog
posts. Any wayy I will be subscribing inn your feeds
or even I success you get entry too persistently fast.
Remarkable! Its really remarkable post, I have got much clear idea regarding from this paragraph.
What does this mean? In the practical sense, not much… but in the legal world, it works as
a sort of sleight-of-hand that protects Uber in the event of a lawsuit.
You see, under the law, employers are considered to be more responsible for the actions of their employees than they are for the actions
of their independent contractors.
Uber has used this argument to protect itself against third
party plaintiffs many times, including in a lawsuit filed
by the family of a young girl who was killed by an Uber driver while crossing the
street. If they can use that defense against an innocent child, you can bet they’ll use it against you!
However, this issue is still a legally hazy one.
Strong legal precedent has not yet been established on this particular question, and different courts have come to different conclusions.
Right now, the status quo seems to be that Uber drivers are considered employees in some areas, and independent contractors in others.
Regardless, you can be certain that if you were hit by an Uber
driver, the company will do what it can to avoid having to pay you a dime.
In these situations, a personal injury attorney is
more important than ever, and one with experiences in Uber cases is a definite plus.
If you find yourself in an Uber accident, you should take the same steps that you should take after any automobile
accident.
These steps include protecting your own safety by getting out of
the line of immediate danger and calling 911 if anyone has been injured, remaining at the scene and sharing insurance information with any other drivers who were involved, calling the police
if the accident is serious, and reporting it to your insurance company.
