This week,  I got sick during a work trip and spent more time lying about than I have in ages. My isolation was prolonged when I arrived home after several days, having left my only phone at the hotel. It turned out to be a much-needed break.

After being reunited with my Iphone,  I looked at the world through my Google lens and found my top three stories that mattered.

1) On December 2nd, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Kansas City Chiefs held a  moment of silence for all victims of domestic violence after their beloved teammate killed his girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself just yesterday. What a painful mess for them all, and for the little baby that’s left orphaned now.

2) This week, Morocco confirmed that it will join the Hague Convention’s Civil Aspect on International Child Abduction. http://www.imperialvalleynews.com/index.php/news/world/2456-accession-of-morocco-to-the-hague-abduction-convention.html

In theory, it means if an American child is taken by a Moroccan citizen to Morocco, their government will intervene and have the child promptly returned to America to sort out custody matters there.

3) A generous offer for the ultimate Christmas gift-for free! If you or someone you know would like to find a missing family member for Christmas, contact http://www.look4people.co.uk/

Have a great week.
