Robert J. Allen and Dorothy A. Allen’s newly released “When You Have No Fear” is a thoughtful narrative that gives a glimpse into what married couples struggle with


News Image

“When You Have No Fear”: an engaging story taken from the real-life circumstances that the two authors have faced in the sixty years of their union. In this poignant work, the couple shares how communication and assurance are essential in a marital relationship. “When You Have No Fear” is the creation of published authors Robert J. Allen, a consultant and mentor to more than eighty religious orders and non-profit charities and an advocate for Mentally Retarded Citizens who leads their fight for local rights; and Dorothy A. Allen, an established poet, an avid quilter, and a fervent churchgoer at Most Blessed Sacrament Parish. Together, the couple resides at Arlington, Texas.

The Allens share, “When you have no fear is a true-life story of a middle-class couple who held on to three important elements in life: faith, love, and trust. Without faith in God, his son Jesus Christ, and love for Creation, there is no need to exist.

“The bond of love that transcends all circumstances becomes the most valuable of the ways a marriage can continue. Two of these elements are possible because of the gift of trust. Without trust, we cannot live with or without fear; trust is the unknown ingredient that allows two people to move beyond hate, suspicion, uncertainty and the willingness to just give up.

“The book shares that open weakness of allowing pride to overshadow humility, greed to overtake responsibility, and faith that gives strength to accept one’s errors.

“‘circumstance does not dictate the results,’ unless you allow your weakness to control your destiny.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Robert J. Allen and Dorothy A. Allen’s new book is a deeply absorbing journal that gives several insights about marriage.

View a synopsis of “When You Have No Fear” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “When You Have No Fear” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

GS Diamonds® Introduces Three Men’s Diamond Engagement Ring Collections to Celebrate Marriage Equality.


men's diamond engagement rings

GS Diamonds Men’s Collections

Here we believe that love should always be outspoken and celebrated, so we could think of no better way to embody the values we hold most dear in a modern design that can remind of the true and profound meaning of love.

Customers will be able to view new collections on: gsdiamonds.com.au/engagement-rings/mens

GS Diamonds is proud to be one of the few companies that were always passionate about showing support for LGBTQ+ community. Here we believe that love should always be outspoken and celebrated, so we could think of no better way to embody the values we hold most dear in a modern design that can remind of the true and profound meaning of love.

This year, same as for over 35 years of its history, GS Diamonds selects only the remarkable designs – an impeccable art and ideas that are truly miraculous. Launching our first men’s diamond engagements rings collections, we set our new level of diamond excellence by picking only the superlative ethically sourced stones.

Our designers and gemologists searched for shapes that can accompany the modern, organic and dynamic forms of the new designs. Pure as daylight, dazzling diamonds mounted in a precious 18ct gold ring are meant to never be forgotten.

The initial launch features Signet, Unity and Heirloom collections.

Refined Signet rings with graceful proportions and fluid organic forms as a delicate, yet strikingly bold, metaphor for the power of love. Its versatile and rather unisex design features a single diamond in a bezel set and beautifully curved gold band.

Unity is the ultimate expression of organic design. Smooth and natural shapes that hold the centre stone in a perfect balance of form and proportions. Noble and astonishingly beautiful design that may leave your chosen one speechless.

Heirloom revises a classic style with powerful contours. An exquisite contemporary profile with a striking centre diamond – a style that can be passed from one generation to another.

The aesthetic of the collections is inspired by a modern and pure gender-neutral allure that makes each design irresistible. A combination of distinct, flowing contours and stones dares to reflect a transformed role of diamonds in jewellery fashion, paving the way for new traditions for the LGBTQ+ community in celebration of love in all of its manifestations. Because love always wins.

Universal Life Church Files Lawsuit Against Allegheny County, Alleging That Their Ministers are Being Denied the Right to Solemnize Marriages


Graphical illustration of the state of Pennsylvania emblazoned with the shield and laurels logo of the Universal Life Church Ministries, all floating above an excerpt of the U.S. Constitution.

The Universal Life Church Ministries filed a Federal Lawsuit Against Allegheny County, PA on Wednesday

The complaint alleges that Allegheny County officials have repeatedly denied the right of ULCM ministers to solemnize legally valid marriage ceremonies.

The Universal Life Church Ministries (ULCM) filed a Federal lawsuit against officials of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, May 12th. The complaint alleges that Allegheny County officials have repeatedly denied the right of ULCM ministers to solemnize legally valid marriage ceremonies.

The case (Number 2:21-cv-618) is before the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. In its initial complaint the ULCM highlights the unique stories of five of its ministers, each of which allege that Allegheny County officials refused to recognize the legitimacy of the ULCM or the validity of any ordination it had granted by informing these individuals they could not legally solemnize marriages in the county.

In denying the rights of its ministers, the ULCM argues, Allegheny County has violated the Establishment, Free Exercise, and Equal Protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The Church has asked the court to enter a judgment declaring Allegheny County’s actions unconstitutional and to issue an injunction barring Allegheny County from continuing to deny recognition to its ministers.

The Universal Life Church Ministries is one of Earth’s largest religious organizations, having ordained more than 20 million individuals. The Church was founded on the belief that “we are all children of the same universe” and is welcoming of people from all denominational backgrounds. It asks that its adherents abide by two tenets: 1. Do only that which is right, and 2. Every individual is free to practice their religion however they like as long as their actions do not impinge upon the rights or freedoms of others and are in accordance with the law.

The ULCM is perhaps most widely known for its provision of religious ordinations over the internet. ULCM Ministers perform weddings, baptisms, funerals, and other types of spiritual ceremonies, in addition to conducting general church services and ministering to their communities.

The Universal Life Church Ministries and its ministers are represented in this case by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP.

HUGGA Premium Hospital Wear and Accessories, Designed for Functionality, Modesty, and Ultra-Cozy Comfort, Finds New Niche with Expectant and New Moms


HUGGA Premium Hospital Wear and Accessories

Like so many entrepreneurs, my original motivation was solving a problem that I intimately understood. Now, as is so often the case, I am delighted to discover that my solution also solves a number of other problems, including what to wear when having a baby.

HUGGA®, the world’s first premium brand to innovate patient-centered garments, has discovered a new niche with moms-to-be. The line of hospital grade and antimicrobial gowns and masks, along with hospital robes, socks, sleeves, and beanies, were originally designed to provide comfort and coziness to patients with chronic conditions that necessitated extended hospital stays. Now, based on a very limited test, the company has learned that the brand’s design features also solve the comfort and modesty concerns of women in the maternity ward.

“Since being diagnosed with acute Crohn’s disease at seven years old, I have spent a lot of time in hospitals. Because I did not like the uncomfortable, reusable gowns provided by the hospital and felt that they hindered my recovery, I went on a journey that led me to founding HUGGA,” said Yonathan Azran, Patient and Founder, HUGGA. “Like so many entrepreneurs, my original motivation was solving a problem that I intimately understood. Now, as is so often the case, I am delighted to discover that my solution also solves a number of other problems, including what to wear when having a baby.”

A family friend, who was preparing for the delivery of her first child, contacted Azran to see if she could get the full line of HUGGA products to bring to the hospital, as it was very important to her to be comfortable and covered.

“I just got back from the hospital and I cannot thank you enough for the gift of HUGGA! The antimicrobial gown was so soft and comfortable, and kept my body covered the whole time, something that really mattered to me,” said Gladys. “The beanie and socks were great to wear in the hospital because I hate to be chilled. The design features are amazingly functional and are great for breastfeeding.”

HUGGA products are unisex, washable, and designed to meet a myriad of patient needs. The current line features six styles: The Never Give Up Gown, The Hotelish Robe, Yonathan’s Favorite Socks, Be a Hero Masks, The Better Bedhead Beanie, and The (Nothing Up My) Sleeves. The line is offered in soft, dove grey tones in sizes S/M and L/XL. Products are sold individually and in three different sets aptly named Care Packages.

ABOUT HUGGA®

HUGGA, the world’s first premium brand to redefine the patient experience, was founded in Los Angeles, California in 2020 with the mission of helping patients feel confident, nurtured and loved. HUGGA gowns and accessories are hospital grade, anti-microbial, luxuriously soft, and designed for stylish comfort and mobility. Founder Yonathan Azran has spent much of his life in the hospital in a continuing battle with a serious auto-immune disease. He founded the brand to bring the comfort of home to the hospital. The brand name HUGGA was inspired by the Danish word hyyge, which means coziness, comfort, and well-being. Sold separately and also available in customized care packages, HUGGA’s unisex products are designed to provide loving comfort to patients. Products and a portion of the company’s proceeds are donated to organizations who assist those who need help paying their medical bills.

AACFL Los Angeles Divorce Attorneys Protecting their Clients from a Changing Economy


The Los Angeles chapter of the AACFL is an organization of elite attorneys dedicated to excellence in the financial aspects of litigation.

The CFL” designation has taken Los Angeles by storm with the recent launch of the American Academy for Certified Financial Litigators (AACFL) Los Angeles Chapter in April of 2021. The AACFL is proud to announce the creation of this chapter and applauds the commitment of its Founding Members. The organization’s mission is to solve a growing problem in the divorce world a rapidly changing economy.

It makes sense that this demand has grown in the divorce world. A common path for attorneys is to study liberal arts at the undergraduate level, then to go to law school, and then to be advocating for their clients’ financial future without any formal financial training. The mission of this group is to fix that problem because of how complex today’s financial economy has become. A solid understanding of the financial fundamentals taught in the CFL™ Training course can make the difference between an attorney’s client struggling after their divorce and the client being able to start the next chapter of their life with more financial security for their family. While years of experience as a divorce attorney is undoubtedly valuable, imagine the power and benefit to clients of combining that legal knowledge with enhanced financial skills!

An additional goal for the group is to raise the level of financial knowledge in the family law community, freeing up the judge’s schedules from having to deal with these matters. This will allow judges to spend more time on areas such as domestic abuse, custody problems, and other important, non-financial, family matters. The organization believes that this is a goal that society would benefit from greatly.

The uniqueness of the CFL™ designation and training program is that it was developed by nationally recognized financial firms, financial experts, attorneys and judges who believe in the mission. To create public confidence, the CFL™ designation is only awarded to members of the AACFL who have taken the time to study and receive a passing grade on an objective, comprehensive exam covering these concepts. Not all divorce lawyers would make the commitment of time and effort to obtain and prove their knowledge in these areas. The AACFL seeks to publicly recognize the dedication of their members.

The AACFL seeks to publicly recognize the dedication of these Founding Members and will be indicating those who have earned the CFL designation on their Los Angeles website, available for public viewing: http://www.aacfl.org/chapter-la.

The AACFL is hopeful that this trend will continue in California and that its mission of helping the public and the court system will be achieved through the dedication of its members. Currently, the Founding Membership represents some of the finest divorce attorneys and firms in Los Angeles. The organization has been growing rapidly and currently has membership in over 20 metropolitan areas. Congratulations to the following Los Angeles Advisory Board and Founding Members!
