Family Medicine
Despite all of the medical advances and technologies that are available to us today, I firmly believe that the patient-provider relationship will always be the foundation of healthcare. Experiencing that one-on-one human connection makes being a family physician so rewarding.
When it comes to health and wellness, my philosophy is "keep it simple." Great things aren't accomplished overnight and trying to do too much too quickly can become frustrating, counterproductive, and ultimately unsustainable.
This year's flu vaccine covers four strains of influenza instead of the usual three, and the convenient FluMist is now the recommended method for vaccinating children
A lot of people don't realize that only a 10% reduction in weight is enough to achieve amazing medical benefits. While those 350 pound patients on The Biggest Loser are doing great and losing 100s of pounds, sometimes it's unrealistic for the majority of people, and if they only lost 35 pounds, they'd drastically help their blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

By Mark Monahan, M.D.
You've apparently heard the old adage ascribed to Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, and others: "The abandoned two certainties in activity are afterlife and taxes." Now you may appetite to add a third authoritativeness about activity in the 21st century: bloom allowance prior-authorizations.
If you've afresh gotten your new allowance agenda for 2017, you're apparently still adaptation the accomplished book about the capacity of what it takes to appointment your physician for one ailment or another. In that morass of detail, it's additionally acceptable you may accept to ask your physician to get your allowance aggregation to say "yes" advanced of time for assorted treatments or drugs — contrarily accepted as "prior-authorizations."
It apparently will appear as baby abundance for you to apprehend from a doctor like me that we feel your affliction — and we allotment it! About two years ago, I wrote actuality about some of the aforementioned problems that insurers' "prior-auth dance" was causing for patients and doctors alike.
I ambition I could say that abundant has afflicted over the accomplished brace of years, but I can't do that with a beeline face. Doctors still face affluence of insurance-related problems. Consider "step therapy" — the action acclimated by insurers to allegedly abate costs by acute patients to try lower-cost or all-encompassing medications afore aggravating added drugs.
The botheration is that all too generally patients ache austere relapses of affection back they're affected to acknowledgment to application medications they've already accustomed afore — aloof because their new allowance advantage requires it!
Adding insult to our patients' injuries, allowance companies abode abundant burdens on doctors and their staffs to advice patients get above-mentioned allotment for these medications that we'd rather not "step" on again!
Despite changes in Virginia's law aftermost year, at my practice, Virginia Urology, our nurses still ample out added than 400 prior-authorizations a week. We currently accept four full-time advisers to baby-sit this paper-intensive process, which totals added than 20,000 approvals a year!
If you are a baby business buyer — as abounding physicians are — you can brainstorm how this adds to our operating costs, not to acknowledgment the interruptions it causes doctors who appetite to absorb as abundant time as they can with their patients.
That's (some of) the bad news. So let's attending for some acceptable news. Working together, the state's Medicaid agency, forth with the Virginia Administration of Bloom and the Medical Society of Virginia, afresh appear that all Medicaid affairs will no best crave prior-authorization for non-opioid affliction relievers (a change that was accustomed to action the advancing accessible bloom crisis with opioid abuse).
And the 2015 General Assembly did accommodate some "prior-auth" affliction relief. While that led to some improvements, there's still affluence of allowance for connected reform. Insurers still annoyance their aggregate anxiety back we try to achieve these affairs in a appropriate way for you, our patients.
Here's one baby archetype of the amateur insurers play: Under the 2015 law, insurers are appropriate to action nonurgent requests aural 48 hours of back they accept them from physicians. Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, we've noticed several insurers assume to be "gaming the system" by calling or emailing our offices for added advice on our nonurgent requests backward on Friday afternoon, back they apperceive that we're either bankrupt or accepting accessible to aing for the week.
Why would they do this? Because back Monday morning rolls about the appropriate 48-hour aeon for processing a prior-authorization appeal has ended. At that point, our advisers are told by insurers that the appeal for a accurate biologic or analysis has been "closed" over the weekend. So assumption who gets to alpha the accomplished action all over? We do. And assumption who waits best for medications? You do!
Is this any way to run our bloom system? Of advance not. Such authority is nonsense. Afterwards commutual a acknowledged pilot activity in cyberbanking prior-authorization, James Lange, a pharmacist with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, wrote in "Managed Healthcare Executive" aftermost year that the "antiquated paper-phone-fax methods" for above-mentioned allotment "create a cardinal of hassles for all stakeholders, which abnormally affect care."
The back-and-forth generally takes 48 hours or more, and leads to delayed analysis and patients giving up on demography a bare drug. Such days, Lange wrote, ""in about-face aftereffect in accidental doctor and emergency administration visits, adverse reactions and akin deaths — all of which affect everyone's healthcare costs."
Besides the delays, added problems appear back insurers use "tiering" (dividing medications into altered levels of cost), crave footfall therapy, and allegation aerial co-payments. Taken together, these practices advance to accent and banking hardships for far too abounding people.
As bad, annoying, and akin potentially baleful as these insurers' amateur can be, Virginia's 2015 law didn't akin awning a ample allotment of the bloom allowance area abounding await on: Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare (for the aggressive and their families). Taken together, patients enrolled in those programs comprise about bisected of my practice, and those programs additionally ache from the types of problems I've described.
All this is why — from a physician's angle — the action charcoal far too burdensome. Authoritative affairs worse, insurers abide to be captious with appropriate affidavit to absolve drugs bare to advice our patients. We are akin seeing added prior-authorization requests for all-encompassing drugs, which should be the atomic big-ticket another in the aboriginal place!
Insurers will altercate that they are aggravating to authority bottomward the amount of unnecessarily assigned drugs or treatments. But frankly, this altercation absolutely turns the accuracy on its head: by attached their costs of accoutrement your bloom needs, they are active up bloom affliction costs by authoritative us absorb added time and money to attack through their paperwork.
And so the aeon of amount aggrandizement continues. A 2014 commodity in the "Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine" estimated that insurers' prior-authorization practices currently costs the nation's absolute health-care arrangement amid $23 billion to $31 billion a year.
So what's the answer? How can we assignment calm with our accompany in the allowance sector? Well, afterwards spending 16 years of aggressive with the concealed bodies who adios my claims for my patients, I action two proposals:
Yet, admitting the adamantine assignment of the Medical Society of Virginia, the Virginia Association of Bloom Plans, and the Virginia Academy of Family Physicians, the allowance area has yet to absolution this advice as appropriate by law. They affirmation that advice — which patients and physicians akin await on — is "proprietary."
Virginians aren't abandoned in this battle, by the way. The American Medical Association and 14 added health-care organizations afresh affiliated calm to aid in prior-authorization reform. Their ambition "is to body a chat amid providers, bloom affairs and their third parties so we can cut out causeless authoritative decay from the system." I acerb animate insurers in Virginia to accompany in this effort.
Such changes are continued behind — not abandoned for doctors, but abnormally for you, our patients who deserve better.

Candor to Host Head Shaving Event to Support Kids with Cancer
This is your chance to step up, to make a difference in the world, and to be a hero for kids with cancer, all while making a bold statement.
Every two minutes, a child of this world is diagnosed with cancer. As a matter of fact, more kids die from childhood cancer than from any other disease.
On March 17, 2000, the very first St. Baldrick's event took place. The goal that year? To shave 17 heads and raise $17,000. To the surprise of everyone, that number turned into 19 shaved heads, and $104,000 donated to fund childhood cancer research. What's more is that since 2005, the St. Baldrick's Foundation has donated $234 million dollars in research grant funding.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity and through their incredible volunteer base, St. Baldrick's has been able to fund more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except for the United States government.
On Sunday, April 8th, Candor will host it's 8th Annual St. Baldrick's Event at the Candor Elementary School from 1pm-4pm. You're invited to join the residents of Candor and shave your head bald for kids with cancer. Not up for shaving your head? That's okay! You're still invited to stop by and cheer on all of those who will be going bald.
Candor's St. Baldrick's event is free to attend, family-friendly, and will feature several raffles, a variety of food, music, and more. Katherine and her daughter, Grace will be participating in this event and have a goal to raise $1,000 dollars to help kids with cancer, kids like Grace's little friend Brody.
Another young lady who will be shaving her head at this event is Zoey. Zoey's mission is to raise $500 for kids with cancer and if you'd like to help her reach that goal, you can donate here.
Did you know? One of the research hospitals that funds from St. Baldrick's benefits is the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a hospital that this radio station is a proud supporter of!

Joining seller forums is a great way to get fabulous information on just about everything.
Also some (always look at posting rules!) allow promoting your sites, stores, blogs & more. Even if they don't allow any promoting... most allow signatures with your site address.
So here are a few that have been "a bucketload" of information & you can make friends at the same time.
The trick to finding forums you are interested in.... simply google your interest & forum or message boards. SAHMs.... WAHMs ... RVers .... Gardening .... Crafters .... pets ... dogs...
If you sell to a "targeted" group.... join in those groups too! And think outside the box.... if you are a travel agent, join some senior's or wedding groups. If you sell bath & body gift items, join "mom groups". You just never know who will be there & want to buy your "stuff". Google picks up those forums & the posts too!

This morning visit the colorful, chaotic Great Sunday Bazaar where you will see sections for silk and cotton, knives, hats, pots and pans, fresh vegetables and fruits, carpets and jewelery, and even a separate livestock section located several km down the road.
Afternoon transfer to the airport for flight to Urimji and on to Turpan and your hotel.
Day 18: Turpan
Visit picturesque Tuyoq Village to see the oldest Buddhist caves in the Turpan area, dating back to the 4th c. Visit local Uygur families and enjoy beautiful mountain scenery.

Evening visit to the Muslim Mosque and nearby local bazaar.
Day 23: Xian
Continue sightseeing in fabulous Xian. Visit the Provincial History Museum, with its collection of more than 113,000 historic and cultural artifacts unearthed in Shaanxi, northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

What's the big idea
The idea behind GS is based on the idea that outbound marketing requires a very fine-tuned and expensive funnel, inbound marketing requires a big investment and delivers results in the longer-term, but building trusted relationships with channel partners can really scale up your operation.
Yes, everyone knows that channel partnerships can work out really well. But how do you build these partnerships? You can't just call up potential partners and say "hey I have a great idea, how about you guys sell my services to your clients?" Unless you can offer a ridiculously compelling rev-share, this approach just doesn't work.
So here's how GS does it
Let's say you're a credit collections platform. You have a new solution that you want to sell to the CIO. But cold calling or emailing won't work. And developing an inbound strategy will take a while and commitment. Definitely worth pursuing but perhaps you can do better…
- First, the GS team will help you identify the right channel partners. Who has access already to your target audience? For the credit collections platform, it's IT implementation vendors. When the CIO needs to implement an SAP solution or customize their system, they need such a vendor.
- Next, GS will create a list of these vendors, and reach out to interview them. The objective is to create valuable content through these interviews that explains how each vendor is different and to share their insights.
- Then, they package these interviews into what they call an "Insights Report" that puts a spotlight on each of the vendors they interviewed, while adding value to the CIOs: the Insights Report helps CIOs determine who might be the right vendors to work with based on their points of differentiation and insights.
- Finally, the Insights Report gets promoted via an email campaign to the CIOs and by repurposing the content on partner blogs.
The result?
It's a win for IT vendors because they get free promotion.
It's a win for CIOs because they get tons of value.
And it's a win for the credit collections platform, for 2 reasons:
- First, it builds relationships with IT vendors based on goodwill and trust. When these vendors work with a client who needs a credit collections solution, they're more likely to refer the business.
- And second, it gives license to connect with CIOs as an authority in the space that can add a lot of value. Even though connecting with the CIOs isn't the primary objective of this campaign, they too are in the credit collection platform's target audience.
Best of all: it's free to try!
Now let's get to the best part of all this. GS actually developed a "Test" offering. Since this still costs them quite a bit of money, they can only offer it to companies they believe it will work for and thus will become clients. So after a quick consultation call, where they can explain exactly what they do step by step, they can offer to run the test for you, if you qualify.
Worst case scenario, you walk away with a plan that you can execute with your team. Best case, they will test it for you. And then, if the results are positive, you're most likely to become a client.
What does the test involve?
Essentially, it's a smaller version of the full-scale offering. But instead of reaching out to 40-50 potential partners, they will reach out to secure 5 interviews. Instead of designing an Insights Report, they will promote the content in the form of blog posts. And instead of emailing 500-1,000 people in your audience, they will try 100. So it's like an MVP of the full service.
What's next?
If it works and you get at least one client or partner out of it, continuing the service has already more than paid for itself. Besides, if you wanted to replicate it on your own you'd actually have to pay more because they have streamlined their processes, come up with systems, and enjoy scale benefits.
If nothing else, it's worth a try… especially since you can try before you buy!

ICIMOD participates through SERVIR Himalaya in the NASA DEVELOP programme, giving the opportunity of interns throughout the HKH region to do applied research on environmental topics using Earth Observation and to collaborate with NASA. DEVELOP is unique in that young professionals lead research projects that focus on utilizing NASA Earth observations to address community concerns and public policy issues. With the competitive nature and growing societal role of science and technology in today's global workplace, DEVELOP is fostering an adept corps of tomorrow's scientists and leaders.
DEVELOP bridges the gap between NASA Earth Science and society, building capacity in both participants and partner organizations to better prepare them to handle the challenges that face our society and future generations.
Within the NASA-SERVIR Himalaya project, since October 2012 we are participating in the NASA-SERVIR-DEVELOP partnership.
ICIMOD hosts the NASA - SERVIR Himalaya internship program and has so far participated in three terms. During these ten week terms, interns produce a technical report, poster, brochure and a video on a Research topic related to Agriculture, Climate, Disasters, Ecological Forecasting, Energy, Health and Air Quality, Oceans, Water Resources or Weather. The work is done working in a team with multiple locations, typically representing one or two of ICIMOD member countries and the US.
In this context, three students: Laxmi Thapa, Florencia Matina Tuladhar and Eliza Shrestha from Kathmandu University started as the first batch of DEVELOP interns in Fall 2012. Their topic of research was the development of a Climate Change vulnerability index, using socio-economic, bio-physical and satellite derived data. For this research, they were receiving guidance form resource persons from the Marshall Space Flight Center / National Space Science and Technology Center in Alabama, as well as from advisors of the Global Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC) and the University of Georgia.
Their effort was very successful as their video was awarded with the "grand prize" in the Earthzine fall virtual poster session. For the video please see: http://www.earthzine.org/2012/11/27/climate-change-vulnerability-in-nepal-using-nasa-eos/
During the term organized in Spring 2013 (March-April-May), the same three interns: Laxmi Thapa, Florencia Tuladhar and Eliza Shrestha participated with different intern-colleagues based in the US. Their work was building upon the initial term on the climate change vulnerability index for NepalNepal that included NDVI imagery analysis for vegetation greenness and vulnerability prediction for the 2050s. Also, satellite rainfall estimation was compared with ground based measurements to find their level of correlation. The Spring 2013 term video was awarded with the runner up position in the Earthzine competition. Please see: Developing a Climate Change Vulnerability Index for Nepal Using NASA EOS Data.
In June 2013, we started the third DEVELOP internship term, with two interns from Bangladesh, Ms. Labiba Farhana and Mr. Shishir Sarker, and two interns from Nepal, Ms. Rukumani Rimal and Mr. Nabin Paudel. From the United States we have participation and guidance from the Marshall Space Flight Center / National Space Science and Technology Center in Alabama. Also, from the DEVELOP head office in Washington DC the interns can consult their NASA-DEVELOP Science advisor, Dr. Kent Ross. The topic of research is related to Protected Area management in Bangladesh, making use of Earth Observation and geospatial tools.

07 Apr After I File Bankruptcy, Can I Keep My Stuff? Part One
Everyone who considers bankruptcy wants to know the answer to that question–what will happen to my house, my car, my personal belongings. Most debtors in bankruptcy keep most or all of their property, but the methods of doing that vary, depending on the type of case you file, the kind of property you own, and the existence of any liens on that property. I think a lot of people never really explore their bankruptcy options because they assume they would lose some or all of their property, but that is simply not the case in the vast majority of cases.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is a payment plan, allows a debtor to keep all property as long as the repayment plan meets certain guidelings. Therefore, I will address the consequences of a Chapter 7 filing, and the possibilities for retaining property after a Chapter 7 filing.
A Chapter 7 is a liquidation; the Bankruptcy Court appoints a trustee whose job is to try to identify assets that can be sold to pay creditors, and liquidate those assets. Although a trustee does sometimes take property and sell it to pay creditors, there are many situations where the trustee either can't sell it, because it is exempt, or won't sell it, because it has only nominal value. (In fact, on a nationwide basis, the vast majority of Chapter 7 cases are "no asset" cases, in which the trustee finds no property to sell to pay creditors.) In addition to the trustee, a you will also have to determine how to deal with any lienholders. Your best option often depends on your individual situation. I will address the following possible options for keeping your property after bankruptcy:
- Exempt property
- Exempt property-avoid lien
- Reaffirmation
- "Ride through"
- Redemption
- Buy back equity
There may be even more options, but these are the ones my clients are most likely to be able to use. Again, bear in mind that these options are primarily applicable in a Chapter 7 case. A Chapter 13 Plan takes the place of these options in most cases.
The first option available to allow you to keep certain property is to claim that property as exempt. More information about exemptions is availablefrom a number of sources, and differs depending on what state you live in and how long you've been there. Determining which law to apply and what property is exempt is more complicated that it ought to be, but competent bankruptcy counsel can help you determine the extent to which equity in your home, your vehicles and other property is exempt, and is therefore simply not available to creditors or a bankruptcy trustee to pay your debts. In addition, some types of property, such as social security payments, disability payments, and most retirement plans (including 401k plans) are never available to creditors or a bankruptcy trustee. Consult with your bankruptcy lawyer to determine which of your assets are exempt if you file bankruptcy.
In Part Two, I'll discuss how when exemptions can help get rid of (or "avoid") a lien altogether.

Hodaka Cafe Racer
Posted on August 1, 2009 by Scott in Café Racer, Classic. 3 comments
What a great little Cafe Racer. Hodaka was an American-Japanese company that unfortunately didn't produce motorcycles for very long. Pretty much between 1960 and mid 1970's. This is a two stroke, single cylinder 1972 Hodaka Ace 100. We love the rawness of this featherweight cafe racer. Stripped back to the basics like they should be.

The Realistic Truth About Life With A New Baby.
Life with a new baby is incredibly exciting but also absolutely terrifying! It is one of the biggest changes you will ever experience and one that no matter how hard we try and prepare for, can be a massive shock!
There are so many parenting books and well-meaning friends offering advice for your upcoming life with a new baby that it can be totally overwhelming. The reality is that until you have the baby in your arms the advice can just be words with little understanding.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for reading up and learning all you can but once my eldest got to around the 1-year mark I felt like I had spent a lot of time reading what he should be doing and not so much time learning from him himself.
When I was pregnant with my second child I swore not to open a Parenting book but instead pay more attention to his (and my) needs at that present time. That made my life with a new baby so much more relaxed, enjoyable and less demanding. If you want to know what the realistic truth is about life after baby number 2 then check out this post: 10 Things To Expect When Having Baby Number 2
From my experience of having 3 babies, I have now put together 9 points that I think every parent should be aware of. I hope from reading these that a new Mum or Mum to be can realise that if your baby isn't sleeping or you don't know what to do then it is totally ok. It happens to all new Mums sometimes but the important thing to remember is that each phase will pass!
The Realistic Truth About Life With A New Baby.
1. Yes newborns sleep a lot but there will be the odd day(s) where they don't sleep at all. It will probably be the day you are already the most tired. By the way, your lack of sleep doesn't end when your child is school-aged.
2. Just when you are thinking they are regularly sleeping through the night they will stop. This will be the night you finally treat yourself to that well deserved glass of wine or two!
3. Spend a ridiculous amount of money on a gorgeous outfit for them to wear to Cousin Emily's wedding? Don't bother, they will have the biggest poo explosion ever – somewhere between you putting it on them and you leaving the house to go.
If you like this post then check out: 9 Shocking Confessions of How I'm An Imperfect Mummy
4. There are going to be times that you just don't know what to do with them, As I write this my 6-month-old is lying in bed crying because I just don't know what he wants. I thought he was tired but it seems maybe not?!
5. You are going to feel like everything that is written in the Parenting handbooks is impossible – It pretty much is!
6. They are going to totally surprise you. In the time it took me to write number 5 the baby stopped screaming and fell asleep (totally true!), soooo, I guess he was tired.
7. "They haven't slept well today so surely they will sleep well tonight" WRONG! The quicker you get familiar with the term "overtired" the better. It turns out that the more tired a baby is the harder it is for them to fall asleep!
8. Try not to brag about something your baby does well. The second you do they will stop doing it.
9. On the plus side, it can also work the other way. So complain about what they don't do that you would like them to do and they should start doing it!

Good girl tames bad boy in Constantine's first novel.
High school junior Wren Caswell has entered her "semester of discontent." Denied entry to Sacred Heart Academy's National Honor Society for being "too quiet" and ranked No. 49 out of 102 students, Wren has never stood out from the crowd. Grayson Barrett is a repentant player and self-described "term-paper pimp" trying to distance himself from his crew of baddies and leave his manipulative ways behind. When Wren saves him from choking on a cocktail weenie at a wedding reception held at her family's banquet hall, the Camelot Inn, their lives become a game of Mars vs. Venus. The stereotypical male-female dynamic takes hold: Wren becomes the reformed con artist's "moral compass," and she spends too much time overanalyzing his actions and apparent disses, pretending she doesn't care when he doesn't return her texts. Wren and Grayson share the narration chapter by chapter, and their witty banter moves the story along. Nevertheless, it's still a fairly standard teen love story: Girl and boy from different social circles meet, face obstacles from family and friends, and fall in love.
Feminists may recoil, but fans of light romance will discover a satisfying weekend read. (Fiction. 14 & up)

Hey Great Girlfriends!
When I was single, I didn't own a plant or a pet, I had very little responsibility but I never got around to growing my business. When I got married, the desire lingered but I thought I was too busy so it remained just a dream. Now I'm a mom of two boys and my productivity coaching business is flourishing!
I'm excited to share about productivity because it's one of my favorite topics! Have you ever gone to a conference, felt inspired, vowed to make a change then went back to life as usual? Better yet, how did you do on those New Year's resolutions? Did you lose the weight, quit the habit or accomplish the goals? A few months ago, I started a productivity challenge, kept the participants accountable and it warms my heart every time I receive a call or text about the success they are experiencing. This is my way of empowering others to achieve their dreams because productivity is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.
The reason we don't accomplish our goals is not that we are tired or incompetent, it's because we lack the support we need to create positive habits. Productivity relates to achieving the desired result and requires efficiency and strategy. Let's not confuse activity with productivity. Being busy does not necessarily mean you are being productive.
I'll share my story. It has always been my dream to start a coaching business. What changed?
1. Desire – my desire to see women accomplish their goals became stronger because my passion was tied to something more significant. #Purpose. I want to die empty knowing that I fulfilled my purpose. That desire prompted me to set a deadline for starting my business because a goal without a deadline and an action plan is merely a daydream.
2. Mindset – Motherhood is not a graveyard, Motherhood is not where dreams go to die! Instead of saying "I can't achieve my goals because I have children"; I thought "I have children so I have to achieve my goals.#Legacy. I had to get rid of all the excuses, quit playing small and stop limiting myself with wrong thinking. I know I can achieve anything my mind can conceive so I had to change my mindset and believe that I am enough, I have enough, and there is enough. This is exactly what I tell my clients to help them accomplish their dreams!
3. Action – I started working on my goals because mediocrity and complacency were not viable options. I like to write down my goals, break them up into bite-sized pieces, execute and revise as necessary. This is how I started my coaching and I employed the same steps when I had the desire to write a book. I kept waiting for the perfect opportunity to work on the chapters. I knew that if I spent one hour, I would eventually make a huge dent. That perfect opportunity never came so I had to make a shift. My new goal was to work on my book for ten minutes Monday through Friday. I set my alarm and some days the momentum picked up and I wrote longer. Other days, I literally wrote for ten minutes but I celebrated the ten-minute accomplishment. Two months later, I had my second book completed!
4. Support – I put in the time, energy and sweat equity and then my cheerleaders and accountability partners showed up. They kept me motivated when I became discouraged or hit roadblocks. Why would I need help if I wasn't doing anything? The provision comes with the vision! My family and friends realized that I was serious about accomplishing my goals and supported me in different ways. Some kept me accountable and checked in on me to keep me encouraged; some offered to play with my children so I could have quiet time to work and others acted as sounding boards to develop ideas.
So my message to you is you are enough, you have enough and there is enough. The beauty is that we get a new start every day, so don't wait until next week, next month or the new year to work on your goals. I'm challenging you to start today!
Rose-Anne Uwague is a Productivity Coach who works with clients to achieve their goals through introspection, accountability, renewed perspective, and humor.

A few months ago I was a panelist at a women's luncheon featuring women in business who were leading from a position other than the C-suite. If you, like me, aren't aware of what the C-suite means, it's the suite of offices in a business that house the CEO, COO, CFO, and other important, accomplished leaders.
I didn't even know what C-suite meant, so perhaps I did fit in well on the panel. I work for a non-profit nature center, am a blogger, and in general lead by getting dirty in the thick of the work - whatever that work might be.
The luncheon was somewhat uncomfortable for me. I didn't feel like I belonged on the panel, let alone in the room with hundreds of other women in business. Many, if not most, were much more accomplished than me and could speak of their experiences doing hard work to contribute in their industry.
Here I was, nervously picking at my lunch while the keynote speaker dazzled the audience. A new friend, Nancy, was sitting beside me, and as her lunch was placed in front of her she inquired to the young waitress if her entree was, as requested, gluten-free. The waitress didn't miss a beat, quickly said yes, and moved on to the next table. The response was so fast that Nancy and I looked at each other with expressions of doubt.
"You must be feeling risky," I said.
My beautiful, wise new friend said, "No, I am feeling trust-y."
All the doubt of feeling like I belonged at the luncheon, what I would say to make an impact on the group, all of it: Gone. Faded in into the background.
"I am feeling trust-y."
What does it take to feel trust-y? Oh, goodness. It takes so much. So much energy and thought, and at the same time the abandonment of thought and use of instinct.
I, too, choose to be trust-y.
I trust that this little cabin will meet our needs, day-after-day and year-after-year. I trust in the satisfaction I feel at having enough, doing enough, and being enough.
I trust in the simple, satisfying life my husband and I built. All glory to God.
I trust that He will continue to shape and move our lives on the path He has set for us. He trusts us to work out the details.
I trust the companions, human and animal, that are by my side. These companions will help fill the empty corners of my soul. Those corners are where the anxiety and sadness hides. The bulk of my soul work depends on me. I trust my companions to call for me, grab my hand, and pull me along. I trust them to "sing the song of my heart when I have forgotten the words."
I trust our small homestead to feed us, nourish us, and nourish others.
I trust my instincts. I trust my ability to reason, calculate, and move forward. I trust John. I trust his motives, his ideas, his joyful spirit.
I trust this Earth, even though she doesn't trust us. We've done so much to betray her, that she is understandably skeptical. I trust that I have the confidence to say NO, or even YES, when tough decisions about environmental stewardship come my way. I trust that I have the words - close by, on the mere tip of my tongue - to inspire others to also steward our Mother Earth.
I trust that all I need is all I have.
I trust the woman I have become, all thanks and glory to God, whether I am a mother or not. I trust my body.
I am feeling trust-y.

After thieves used their car as a battering ram to break into a gun shop in Georgia, I suspect the leftists will be calling for cars to be banned, or at least for universal background checks on used car sales. After all, the smash and grab would not have been so feasible without the use of the "assault vehicle", which by the way, was stolen too.
(VIDEO at bottom of post)
This story is yet more proof that criminals do NOT try to pass background checks before they use a gun in a crime or sell it on the black market. They did not use a bag of stolen money to politely walk in the gun shop and go through a background check to purchase the rifles. They stole them. Just like they stole the car.
The owner of AR Bunker says that 3 thieves broke into his gun shop and stole at least $70,000 worth of rifles. Some of these rifles were the AR-15 semi-automatic rifles that the media continues to erroneously call "assault rifles".
"There are a lot of states that ban these kinds of weapons lately, and I would imagine that these types of weapons are worth a lot of money up north somewhere," The owner Rusty Morris said.
The police arrived only 20 seconds after the robbery took place, which is a rather impressive response time, but still the thieves got away and investigators have a theory as to how they got away.
"They think someone was waiting for them on the interstate and they carried the guns through the woods, up the interstate and left the car, which was stolen from Union City," Morris said.
As to why the thieves stole the guns Morris also had a theory.
"There are a lot of states that ban these kinds of weapons lately, and I would imagine that these types of weapons are worth a lot of money up north somewhere," Morris said.
You have to ask yourself. Why would a criminal not be willing to go through a background check to get a gun? Pretty obvious answer. The problem is that the anti-gun crowd has the ignorance to believe that this will actually stop the criminals from getting guns.
Let's face it. Obama is after your guns. This free video reveals "3 secret loopholes" to defeat Obama's gun confiscation schemes for good. CLICK HERE. (Sponsored ad)

OEA Disappointed by Expected Cuts to State Revenue
Statement by OEA President Linda Hampton:
"Despite the fact that our public schools are underfunded and Oklahoma's taxes are already among the lowest in the nation, this week we learned that another tax break will take place in 2016. Most Oklahoman's will see either no benefit at all from the tax cut or will, at best, receive an additional $30 next year. Oklahomans want low taxes, and we've already achieved that; however, they also want good schools, sound roads and bridges, and sufficient police officers and firemen to keep us safe. If given the choice, the average Oklahoman would have considered it a better use of tax dollars to ensure our vital functions of government do not receive further cuts.
"As teachers, we always look for lessons we can learn. The lesson here is that, while it may sound good on the campaign trail to say we'll each have an extra $30 in our pockets next year, the reality is that this money would be better spent educating Oklahoma's students."

As we bring people into our organization, we look for those who share our values, thus fostering relationships based on trust—for employees, insurance companies, and clients.
*According to Insurance Journal, August 2019 issue.
From the beginning, Leavitt Group has been built on a foundation of trusted co-owners with local insights and experience. This core value has remained central to Leavitt Group as it grew from one agency into one of the largest insurance brokerages in the United States.
In 1952, Dixie Leavitt opened an insurance agency in Cedar City, Utah, with one company appointment and no clients. By the decade's end, Dixie had thousands of clients throughout southwestern Utah and southern Nevada.
When Dixie Leavitt and his brother, Bert, incorporated Leavitt Insurance Agency of Las Vegas in 1959, Dixie owned 60% and Bert owned 40%. Using this 60-40 arrangement, Dixie and other co-owners invested in and created agencies in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. Dixie formed Leavitt Group Enterprises in 1962.
Dixie built Leavitt Group on a foundation of able and trusted co-owners. He recognized that each agency should have nurturing insurer relationships, autonomy in staffing, and increasing sales and profits with which to build an adequate capital base.
As the number and size of affiliated agencies grew, the potential of strength in numbers became apparent. In 1978, the group formed Leavitt Group Agency Association (LGAA), providing member agencies with the multi-agency strength necessary to maintain insurer relationships, to offer placement services, to provide employee benefits, and to support other group-wide services, such as E&O coverage, accounting, IT, data management, marketing, and other key supporting activities.
Since its early beginning in 1952, Leavitt Group has grown into one of the largest independent brokers in the United States. Since 1989, consolidated revenues have climbed from $8 million to $250 million. Throughout this period of growth and success, agency profitability ratios have remained well above industry averages.
Leavitt Group continues to expand into new areas and various market segments—from agencies serving in smaller communities to large agencies serving complex corporate accounts. Leavitt Group recruits qualified insurance professionals and affiliates with agencies who share the same foundational values based on integrity.

Top Ender and Baby Boy have been enjoying The Tom and Jerry Marathons that have been on the last few days in our house. Top Ender was trying to explain an episode to me that I hadn't seen as she had thought it very funny.
"Well Itchy was chasing Scratchy and then they turned round and were chasing the other way!" she giggled
"Tops, could you say that again for me?" I asked
"Itchy was chasing Scratchy and ..." she got before I interrupted
"Itchy and Scratchy?" I laughed
"Tom and Jerry I mean!" she giggled back
And to think we haven't watched The Simpsons in ages!
