ILUMIN Staff Profile: Katie Young
5 Questions for Katie Young
Katie brings a wealth of experience to LUMIN Education's consulting team. Since 2012, she has been counseling students in college admission, and in 2017 she completed her graduate certificate program in Educational Consulting through UC Irvine.
We asked Katie five questions to help you get to know her better.
1. What is one of your favorite aspects of working with students?
I love talking about college all day, every day! After getting to know students, it is fun to show them different collegiate environments where they would not only be great fits, but also fill niches and thrive as unique contributors. y thoroughly researching and visiting colleges, as well as speaking directly with admissions counselors, it is possible to determine the values of a given campus and whether those align with my students'.
For example, my student, Kira, really wanted a college where curiosity and questioning the norm were valued by both professors and fellow students. We found that environment for her at University of Chicago. Similarly, my student Jennifer wanted an intellectual campus where discussion and open-mindedness were valued. We discovered that Reed College was a perfect place for her to study.
I truly believe that every student has a college where he or she belongs and delivering the perfect applicant and application right to the admissions officer's doorstep is my passion.
2. What is one insight you've earned from being involved in the college admissions process?
There is no such thing as a model applicant. Students should never try to "keep up with the Joneses" by copying course schedules, testing plans or extracurricular activities from older students they see as successful. Colleges are not looking for cookie-cutter, well-rounded students. They are looking for students who are one-of-a-kind, who are truly interesting, and who find unique ways to pursue their passions in high school.
For example, my student Nicole had three big interests: film, engineering, and women's rights. Her affinity for engineering was obvious early in life, but her interest in film burgeoned only after joining her school's television production team on a whim. Her dedication to women's rights stemmed from her grandmother who, growing up in rural China, was not allowed an education. Nicole found a way to combine all three interests, making a short stop-motion animation film about her challenges as a female aspiring engineer and her desire for all girls to pursue their goals free from discrimination. She entered the film in the White House Student Film Festival, and won. She went on to be accepted to every UC campus and eventually chose to attend UC Berkeley.
It's helping students identify and combine their passions that makes counseling students in college admissions a new adventure year after year.
3. What do you want students to know?
I want students to know that setting realistic expectations for college is important.
The harsh reality is that there is a valedictorian with a perfect 1600 SAT score and an impressive resume at every single high school in America. There are over 37,000 high schools, which means there are way more than 37,000 amazing students applying for approximately 2,000 spots at each of the top 10 colleges (not to mention all the stellar international and home-schooled students in the mix). My student might be one of the fortunate and deserving admits...but she might not be. It is my job to prepare her for that "no."
I'm not here to crush students' dreams -- in fact, I encourage students to follow their hearts and apply to Stanford or Columbia if it is truly their ideal college. I did, and even though I collapsed into a puddle of tears on my doorstep when I didn't get the big envelopes, I don't regret it. My goal is for my students to feel the same way: to look back and have absolutely no regrets about this process. To me, that means not only following your heart, but also looking at the numbers in black and white and making wise decisions.
Just clicking the box and adding Merced to a UC application is not enough. My students will be doing their homework, visiting campuses, and ensuring that even if they are only accepted to one of the colleges on their list, they know they can be happy and successful there.
4. What do you want parents to know?
The most important lesson I can share with a parent is that every student is different. It is not productive to compare your child to others. Each student is unique in terms of what they respond to, what motivates them, and what is most important to them. Colleges don't want dozens of the same student, so there is no reason for a parent to force a child into being someone they are not.
I once worked with a student, Jared, whose older sister got into Cornell, USC, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, and other top business schools. He tried to replicate her resume, while his parents tried to replicate the parenting style that had worked for their first child. He was forced to pick up and continue her projects and leadership roles, letting go of his own interest in law and politics in the process. He was absolutely miserable: his grades started dropping, he had disciplinary problems at school, and he couldn't have a conversation with his parents without someone yelling. Needless to say, no one was surprised when Jared was rejected from nearly every college he applied to.
Conversely, my student Adam's older sister was a star who got into UCLA and interns with the LA Times. He was a B average student who wasn't interested in activities at school and struggled to get above 30 on his ACT. His parents never compared him to his older sister or expected him to replicate her success. They let him follow his interest in psychology, manage his own schedule, and choose his own colleges. He was accepted to thirteen of the fifteen colleges where he applied because he and his parents set realistic goals and listened to one another.
The best outcomes are only possible when parents and students communicate enough to share common goals and expectations.
5. What is one way you can help?
I think the greatest way I can help is through my ability to listen to a student's words and help him translate those words into actions.
One of the biggest mistakes high school students can make is to think too small. They often give up before they really try. In my experience, there is always more that students can do, and sometimes all it takes is for someone to point out the path.
For example, I had a student named Wyatt who often complained that no one showed up to sports games or events at his school. I asked Wyatt how students could find out about these events, and he said there was a morning announcement over the loudspeaker. That information was often too little too late, as it only mentioned events for that day, and many students didn't pay attention to announcements anyway. I asked Wyatt how he would improve that system, and he thought about making a calendar and posting it on bulletin boards. I asked him if students would even look at bulletin boards -- aren't they busy looking at their phones during passing periods? A lightbulb turned on, and Wyatt realized he should design an app that students could use to see not only which events were coming up, but who was going. He made the app central to his campaign for class secretary, and won.
The same process works for college application essays. Students often have trouble recognizing what is valuable or interesting about their lives.
One of my recent students, Matt, was struggling to come up with a captivating idea for a personal statement. During one of our many discussions, someone was microwaving lunch in the nearby cafeteria. I mentioned that it didn't smell great, and he replied in a blasé manner that he couldn't smell it. In fact, he was born without a sense of smell. I was shocked that he didn't seem to think that made him unique. I helped him think about how his way of interacting with the world was intrinsically different from everyone else's, and he caught on. We discussed how he first discovered his sense was missing, and how it helped him realize that there are unseen and unsung forces in our world. He related that to his desire to study physics, a great essay was born, and he was admitted to UCLA for mechanical engineering.

It Is Just The Way You See It!
I truly believe that the five fold is basically passion and point of view. When you are passionate, that passion drives you. I was passionate to get a room in my house built from scratch to finished project. Because of that the dry walling and sanding, the tedious cutting in for painting, etc. were not so bad. I was driven to get it done the best of my ability.
The beauty of the five fold is "vision" and "Point of View". The way one perceives his world and his place in it is his passion and point of view. It is no different for the five fold. Let's briefly look at these "points of view":
The evangelist is driven by the desire to see birth and rebirth, taking the lost (those not knowing Jesus) to becoming found (finding Jesus as their Savior). General Booth of the Salvation Army is an excellent example. Winning the lost became all consuming to him, thus he founded an army to proclaim salvation to the lost. Unfortunately, when the lost is found, a new birth or rebirth proclaimed, nurturing their growth is not the evangelist's top priority, for he/she is ready to move on and win yet more for Jesus.
The pastor/shepherd is driven to care for the sheep. Shepherds nurture, feed, and care for their sheep, which becomes a tedious task, for they teach a believer how to make their new found faith into a lifestyle. A pastor's vision is to hear the words of Matthew 25:35-36: "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you invited me in, needing clothes and you clothed me, sick and you looked after me, in prison and you came to visit me."
A teacher's passion is to validate the Word of God, the written Word, the Logos Word, into the lives of every believer. They want to validate the believer's walk with the Word. The teacher wants to validate this new found faith and lifestyle through the Logos Word, making it a Rhema, or living Word. John 1 says the "Word became flesh and dwelt among us." The teacher wants that word, now in Spirit, that dwells in each believer to teach that believer the truth and fulfillment of the Logos Word through faith. Study the scriptures is powerful, but dangerous, for if it is done without the Holy Spirit, believers can become Pharisees, those who knew the Word in Jesus' time, but opposed the truth and spirit of his teachings.
If a prophet had his/her way, they would spend all day in worship, in reading their Bible, in intercession and prayer, in intimacy with God the Father, His Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Adam and Eve lost their intimacy with God when they sinned, but Jesus' death and resurrection restored the intimacy lost through sin. Sin has been conquered, death defeated. A prophet is trying to make up for lost time. Their drive, their passion, their point of view is to be intimate with Jesus. Nothing else matters to them.
An apostle has experienced the pain of seeing the lost and the passion to win them to Christ, has experienced the over whelming passion to feed the sheep physically and spiritually to have them walk the walk in their lifestyle, has experienced the power of teaching with authority the Word of God, has experienced that intimacy with his/her God through Jesus, but unfortunately can not to all of them himself unless he wants to get burned out, which happens to many a man of God who takes on more than he can handle. An apostle's point of view, his vision, his sight is seeing the Big Picture, the Church as a whole. Since he cannot do it all himself, he is commissioned to encourage others who have the other four passions and "prepares God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (Eph. 4) His job is to "see over" the Big Picture, not "oversee" it, for that is the Holy Spirit's job, and to prepare God's people for the works of service.
The five fold is five distinctly different points of view that can divide the Church if not led by the Holy Spirit, or be the very tool to unify it.

I met Marc when I was in Seattle at Microsoft a few years ago -- he was a super friendly, knowledgeable guy. We kept in contact and he was always passionate about what he was doing and what everyone else around him was doing. He was a guy I had hoped to meet up with again down the road and it's shocking that I won't get that chance.
My best to his family.

Don't be a normie
We all know Brandon Woelfel.
Okay, maybe I shouldn't assume that everyone knows Brandon Woelfel by name. But, upon looking at his social media feeds — or even a single photo of his — most Instagram users our age would recognize his style instantly. Saturated bubblegum colors, pretty girls posing by neon lights, bokeh polka-dotting the entire background, and all the other features of his portrait style have become very familiar in today's photography community.
As a style becomes more popular, naturally, more people begin to emulate it. With Brandon Woelfel, I found this to be especially true. I cannot seem to get away from the luminous, colorful style when searching to discover more contemporary portrait photographers.
And, frankly? I'm tired of it.
Don't get me wrong; Brandon Woelfel's creative brand caught on for a reason, and his talent and work ethic are beyond question. His achievements are those of a rightfully respected artist. But why do so many photography accounts I stumble upon now look almost exactly like his? I do not follow multiple photographers on Instagram to see the exact same images over and over. In fact, I hope that each artist I follow brings something uniquely them to the table.
We don't all need to be Brandon Woelfel.
Rather, I believe we should all be ourselves, to the most sincere degree possible. Which, funny enough, is one of the hardest things to do, especially in a creative field such as photography.
Now, I am by no means an omniscient part-artist, part-philosopher. But I have been in the same boat. Here are a few tips I follow when I'm stuck in an artist's block:
Combine two styles
Take the colors of Woelfel and bring them to landscape photography. Take the grain from film photography and apply it to clean, digital images. Combinations immediately force you to step out of the norms of a particular approach. Plus, the two creative styles or facets you choose to combine would likely be different than the two your neighbor may combine, making that choice an act of originality in itself.
Alternatively, taking inspiration from sources completely outside of photography also adds an element of personality. Draw from rules of painting, try mixed media to quite literally add another layer to your art, or use ideas or techniques from completely different realms outside of art, like engineering or physical sciences.
Finally, you could collaborate with another artist! Morphing your two styles together could result in pieces neither of you would have thought of independently. One person could style while the other could shoot, or one person could choose the location and the other could edit the pictures. Possibilities are nearly endless.
Think about the why, not the what
Rather than thinking about a style in particular — portrait, landscape, etc. — think about why you are drawn to them in the first place. Why does it make you feel inspired? Is it the mood it creates, the image's composition, the colors? Answer that question, and try to apply it to your particular style. For example, you can take the colors of a landscape shot and incorporate them into an editorial photograph, or draw inspiration from the facial expressions of a concert photo in portrait photography. Sometimes, the idea behind the photograph matters more than the content of the photo itself.
Try a dumb, crazy idea
Sometimes, I think of something absolutely absurd and share the idea with my friends, saying something like, "Oh my god, wouldn't it be ABSOLUTELY NUTS if I just did a fashion editorial shoot with teacup pigs wearing my old American Girl doll's clothes I have sitting in my closet? Ha ha, that would be crazy."
But, why not try it?
Test one of those "what if" ideas, and see where it takes you. Do not be afraid of making mistakes or doing something "stupid." Why limit your creative pursuits? You have no idea what actually might come of them.
What makes you as a person unique to begin with? How are you different from your friends, family, classmates, or that guy you passed in Trader Joe's? How can you show that part of your personality through your photos? Not every photo has to be self-reflective — in fact, some of the most interesting photos push the photographers out of their comfort zones, becoming characters different from the artist themselves. However, in a creative rut, thinking about yourself is an easy place to start.
Additionally, be aware of your bias. Just because you do something similar to someone else does not mean it is not uniquely yours. Rather, attributing when appropriate and being sure not to copy others' work exactly and on purpose, will help in the pursuit of originality.
Hopefully a few of these tips will help take you out of that frustrating period of artist's block. Just remember: you are not Brandon Woelfel. You are yourself. Let your photos show that.

Bill Clinton to speak in Homewood neighborhood
September 7, 2016
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Just days after a visit from Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine and current Vice President Joe Biden, Former President Bill Clinton will swing by Pittsburgh this Friday for the Democratic party's latest stop in the Steel City.
At 11:45 a.m. on Sept. 9, the Pennsylvania Democrats will host the potential first gentleman at the Greater Pittsburgh Coliseum in the Homewood North neighborhood.
According to 2010 census data, that neighborhood consists of 93 percent black residents, a demographic Hillary Clinton has consistently fared better with than her opponent, GOP candidate Donald Trump. A recent NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll reported that 87 percent of black voters support Hillary Clinton and eight percent of black voters support Trump.
In Pennsylvania at large, Clinton has maintained a lead over Trump since July. A CBS/YouGov poll this week placed Clinton eight points ahead of the Republican candidate. And a Washington Post-SurveyMonkey poll conducted in all 50 states, released Tuesday, placed Pennsylvania as one of six states that "leans democratic" and estimated Clinton has a four-point lead over Trump in Pennsylvania.
According to a release from the Clinton campaign, Bill Clinton's speech on Friday will focus on the importance of this year's election for Pennsylvania voters and their families and will be encouraging Pennsylvania residents to register to vote.
As an official campaign event, his speech will emphasize Hillary Clinton's ability to be a strong leader for the country, the release said.
Bill Clinton has campaigned for his wife in Pittsburgh before. On April 20, less than a week before the Pennsylvania primary election, Bill Clinton spoke on Pitt-Johnstown's campus and in South Side, encouraging Pennsylvania voters to turn out and support Hillary Clinton in the primary.
Bill Clinton's stop in Pittsburgh later this week highlights the Democrats' focus on key battleground states like Pennsylvania this cycle. Hillary Clinton hosted a rally at Carnegie Mellon University's campus on April 6 during which Mayor Peduto spoke and officially endorsed Clinton's campaign. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also campaigned here prior to the primaries.
The last Republican to visit Pittsburgh was Trump, who made a campaign stop at the airport in June. He previously visited Oakland in April for a town hall-style meeting at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum.

VETERANS ID CARD ACT (H. R. 91) View Online
Earlier today, Speaker Boehner signed the Veterans ID Card Act (H.R. 91). This bill will allow all of America's veterans to have a permanent ID card that proves their military service. It now goes to the president's desk for his signature.
Yes, this sounds like one of those things that should exist already. Even now, however, there is no universal way for our veterans to prove their status. Some have special ID cards, but many have to carry around old forms that contain sensitive information and, of course, weather over time. It's another hassle and headache our veterans shouldn't have to bear. With this bill, introduced by Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL), we're fixing the problem, making it easier for our veterans to get the services they need and better protecting them from identify theft.
This is more good news for the people's priorities, and the latest in a series of reforms we've enacted to help the nation's veterans, including initiatives to help prevent veteran suicides andallow more veterans to seek private care.
Of course, there is much more to be done. "We're going to continue to do our part," Speaker Boehner says, "but only the president can change the culture at the VA."

Silver Silk & Beads in Savannah Georgia
Sterling silver jewelry, handmade beaded jewelry, and accessories
Wakesurf is a version of the sport of wake boarding. The main distinction in between wakesurf and wake boarding is that there is no rope associated with the former. As you all know, the rope or the cable television plays a very important function in the sport of wake boarding. Nevertheless, this rope is practically absent as far as wakesurf is concerned.
How does a person discover propulsion in the lack of a rope? The person is towed by the motor boat for a brief range. She or he is attached to the motorboat with the assistance of the rope for a short distance. However, once the individual gathers momentum, the rope is launched and the private brows the wake on his or her own. The most apparent concern is- Is it possible to surf the wake with no other type of propulsion? The answer is certainly- yes.
The individual who surfs the ocean uses the waves to progress. This allows him or her to surf the waves with no other kind of propulsion. Nevertheless, best site here it is impossible to find waves on lakes. That is the reason that motorboats are utilized to produce wakes to reproduces the wave that is discovered in the ocean. The individual then proceeds to surf the wake without the support of the boat. The private utilizes the aerodynamics of the wake to keep moving. Naturally, sooner or later, the momentum of the individual is lost and she or he has to start all over once again. Nevertheless, depending on the choice of the motorboat and the choice of the wake browse board, you can keep moving for a long period of time.
Unlike wake boarding, the option of the motor boat becomes crucial in wake surf. The rear side of the boat is frequently weighed down with ballast, lead, sand and even individuals. The excess weight in the backside forces the boat downwards into the water and this leads to the development of a strong wake. Because the individual surfs the wake at a range of not more than five feet from the boat, he or she remains in a position to keep moving for a long period of time.
The proximity of the individual towards the boat creates a major security danger. Making user of any ordinary motorboat is not acceptable because the majority of the boats have an outside or inward outward motor. The danger of the individual being pulled into the props is extremely high. This can lead to major injury to the wakesurfer. To ensure this issue does not arise, just those boats that have an inward motor needs to be utilized for the sport of wakesurf. No other motorboat needs to be used.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – October 22, 2014 - MGX Minerals Inc. ("MGX" or the "Company") (CSE: XMG) reports engagement of Kemetco Research Inc. ("Kemetco") to conduct advanced metallurgical studies and develop an optimized process design for the East Zone of the Company's Driftwood Creek Magnesite Project. The Company also reports that a high temperature furnace has been acquired from SentroTech, a manufacturer of high temperature laboratory and commercial furnaces, to further calcination and roasting studies for the production of refractory grade magnesium oxide and expects delivery of the furnace within days.
The metallurgical work will be supervised by Dr. Gie Tan, Director of Hydrometallurgy at Kemetco, and will build upon beneficiation studies completed by SGS Lakefield Research Ltd. ("SGS") in 2008. Extensive test work on East Zone bulk samples by SGS resulted in the development of the basic upgrading process. Magnesite recovery rates of 93.4% using conventional reverse flotation methods and removal of up to 70% of silica and 30% of calcium oxides were reported (Aghamirian and Imeson, 2008).
"We are very excited to begin the final phase of metallurgy testing and process design at our Driftwood Creek Magnesite Project. As silica represents the overwhelming majority of impurities by percentage at Driftwood, the application and implementation of an upgrading process to remove the silica offers the opportunity to vastly increase the potentially economic resource and cut-off grade, as well as increasing the purity and therefore the market value of the final MgO product," stated MGX CEO Jared Lazerson.
The Company plans to further investigate the opportunity to sell the high purity silica by-product that would be produced as a result of the upgrading process. High purity silica is in demand as a source of flux to smelters. As well, the Company is currently considering vertical integration opportunities involving the production of value added products with MgO as its core component.
Driftwood Creek Magnesite Update
A close spaced eight hole diamond drill program and land survey were recently completed at the East Zone of Driftwood Creek for the purpose of delineating an initial mining block and NI 43-101 Resource Estimate, which is currently underway. The Company plans to dovetail the Resource Estimate into a result dependent Mine Plan for the purpose of applying for a Mining and Reclamation Permit for an Industrial Mineral (Magnesite) under the British Columbia Mines Act.
About Kemetco Research Inc.
Kemetco is a privately owned contract research and development company specializing in extractive metallurgy, chemical processing and specialty chemical analysis. Kemetco is a member of the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA) and maintains participation in the CALA Proficiency Testing Program for specific tests registered with the Association. Kemetco was formed after the acquisition of the industrial process division of B.C.

Different reasons were raised why many teenagers utilize or mishandle steroids.
The issue is, similar to anti-infection agents steroids seem, by all accounts, to be a wonder 'cure'. Patients with devastating arthritis or asthma appear to be right away better on steroids. =Justifiably the specialists swing to them quick, regularly first line of assault. Anti-infection agents were once held for outrageous crisis are currently being used on the most inconsequential of conditions. Steroids are currently given out as promptly as anti-microbials even to babies, at the first indication of irritation of any sort. Steroids make up many over-the-counter skin tranquilizes, and are considered the medication of decision for asthma, arthritis, and back issues, bowel issues and for all irritations or hypersensitive responses.
1. To enhance their athletic performance. Many competitors saw recourse to utilize performance enhancer substances on the grounds that the strain to win is colossal.
2. To expand their muscle estimate or to decrease their muscle to fat ratio. This gathering is experiencing the behavioral disorder called muscle dysmorphia, people who think they have mutilated figure. It is so disturbing on the grounds that as indicated by an investigation, 9-to-11-year-old females utilize steroids to improve their manufacture as well.
3. Part of an example of high-chance practices. Like the thrill that they get from drinking and driving, driving a cruiser without a cap, carrying a weapon, and manhandling other unlawful medications, taking steroids give that adrenaline they can't clarify.
What should be possible to forestall steroid manhandle?
As indicated by the scientists who do the investigation on steroid instructive programs, it has demonstrated that basically showing students about steroids' bothersome effects does not persuade them that they can be unfavorably influenced, nor does such educating demoralize young people from taking steroids later on. Be that as it may, exhibiting both the dangers and benefits of utilizing anabolic steroid is more successful in persuading them about steroids' negative effects, apparently in light of the fact that the student-competitors locate an adjusted approach more solid. You'll most likely get instruments and aptitudes to build up you as a specialist group pioneer. If you're prospects are not expanding as you'd like-if you need to partner with people with like interests-get connected to the 'Rebel University' organized course today! Find out the official meaning of "steroid"!
There are many side effects to the utilization of steroids. The minor side effects of steroid utilize incorporate skin inflammation, sleek skin, abundance hair growth, and extending of the voice. The significant side effects steroid utilize incorporate an expanded danger of growth, expanded danger of heart and liver ailment, jaundice, liquid maintenance, decrease in great cholesterol, hypertension, and changes in blood coagulation. Dissimilar to anti-infection agents, steroids are largely expansive range, they don't just influence the zone of the body you wish to treat, however disperse their effects through each cell. This is turn may cause various side effects. For a long time we have realized that steroids can routinely cause over movement of adrenal hormones, which delivers Cushing's sickness, described by a fat abdomen and face.

Our house has a new addition to the front yard, a "FOR SALE" sign. My feelings about this are all over the map. So much has happened over the past few weeks. Where do I begin?
Well, I guess it all goes back to about seven years ago, when the company that my husband Brent works for was laying people off. There were multiple buy-outs, pay-cuts, and of course the dreaded downsizing, downsizing, downsizing. The writing was on the wall. There was no future for Brent at that company. He had dodged several rounds of lay-offs, but pay cuts and salary freezes had squeezed us beyond return. We had to make tough decisions before things went from bad to worse.
We sold the hobby farm that we had worked so hard to build. We sold the animals, our personal property, and eventually the house. I especially mourned the loss of my beautiful downstairs studio space where I had taught not only my own children, but dozens of students as well. Brent had installed the flooring himself and had handcrafted the wooden dance barres. He'd put in cabinets and a sink. It was the perfect space for art, dance, theater, and more. We had done everything on a shoestring budget, but we still owed too much money.
I was never going to make enough income from teaching Ladybug Arts for the financial investment to pay off, but the investment I was making was in people, not money. There are more important things than money, right? I believed that everything would work out, right up until the day when I realized that it wouldn't.
I ended Ladybug Arts prior to putting the house on the market, for many reasons. But the decision was quickly validated when my mom's health took a sudden sharp decline. I became her caregiver, while also preparing to sell the hobby farm. My heart was numb. Everything was ending all at once.
Mom was dying. My job was gone. My firstborn was leaving for college. There was no time to process what was happening. From there, the hardships snowballed. Mom passed away in August. Our daughter started school in September. We sold our house in October. The smell of fall leaves and the hauntingly beautiful breeze that carries the colors away take me back to that time. Colors change, then fade, then die.
Never again would I see my kids bouncing down the halls, riding their bicycles on the long gravel driveway, or running with the miniature sheep in the pasture. All of it was gone, including the kids. They weren't little anymore. None of them would "bounce" down a hall with their wispy hair flying in the breeze. Clomping, shuffling, or bounding–that they could do. No, we didn't have Santa Claus believers or Tooth Fairy wishers in our family anymore. Life was changing, whether I liked it or not.
We moved into a small house in a town about an hour away from our hobby farm. Here, where we are now. The treeless leaves were soon snow-covered. And after a long winter, spring came. The trees were green and full of life again. Yes, they were different trees, in a different place, but life began again.
It's pleasant here. The neighborhood is pretty and nearly perfect. It's a nice place to live. But it's not our place. Four years after moving in, the house is on the market.
During our four years here, Brent went back to school. He received his graduate degree in Education last month, May 2015. He has one final semester before getting his teaching certification, the student teaching semester. Teaching full time without pay, while also paying tuition? He has to quit his day job? Isn't there some other way? No, there's not. He worked too hard to get this far only to give up now. Things at his current job aren't improving. He had no luck getting a new job in his field. It was definitely the smart play to go back to school and start a new career. But at least he still had his job…
And then we found out that after years of crying wolf, the wolf was finally actually undeniably at our door. Brent was told that his position will be eliminated in August. He is getting laid off. Well, there goes the safety net! This student teaching semester was going to happen, whether we had cold feet or not. At least he'll be able to draw unemployment benefits, for a while anyway. Looking at the positive was what we tried to do, but nothing can take the fear away completely. Brent has had a job since he was a teenager. He had never been laid off. He had never been unemployed. He had always, always worked.
And I had always, always, been underemployed. My primary focus was on my family. I built my artistic career around our lifestyle. My husband's job always came first, the kids next, and my job was dead last. Jump-starting my career was what I'd attempted to do ever since my oldest went off to college. I've made progress, but not enough progress. Here we are again, needing to sell our house.
We'll rent something cheaper than our mortgage until Brent's student teaching semester ends. Then, he'll be certified to teach and our plans are to move to Ireland against all odds. We still have those nonrefundable plane tickets that we'd bought with money raised from my side job as a garage sale maven. Oh yes, we're doing this thing.
So, the house is on the market. The pain and loss from selling our hobby farm, and everything that meant, is complicating my feelings toward selling our house in Pleasantville (not the real name of the town, I'm being facetious). I never wanted this pleasant house in this pleasant neighborhood. I wanted MY house, the one we raised our kids in. I wanted that life back, but the past isn't mine to have, except in my memories.
The past is safer, because it is over. I know how the story ends. The future is scary. Who knows what hardships and disappointments lie ahead! What if there is grief lurking around the corner, a sorrow that runs deeper than losing my parents, a heartache more profound than I can imagine?
But what if there's something wonderful ahead? What if the future sparkles brighter than I could ever imagine? And what if my hope in the future is a self fulfilling prophesy?
Some things in life are beyond my control, but I can always choose my attitude toward what is happening to me. I can choose to be grateful for the past, hopeful toward the the future, and content with the present.
Today, this moment, is all I'm guaranteed. And at this moment, I hear my children's voices in the kitchen. They're laughing. They're happy that it's Friday and that there are molasses cookies on the counter. The house is on the market. But this moment, spent in a pleasant house with my kids' laughter in my ears, this moment is not for sale.

Garage Door StylesAll Garage Doors
Garage Doors, Now in Black
Submit a request online >
Two Great New Choices for Your Garage Door
We're really excited that black is now a factory-available color for two door styles. The Hamsphire 138 - pictured above - is a door from General Doors Corporation that we've installed for years. With the all new black finish, you now have the ability to change the front of your house in a positive dramatic fashion. We think the picture about in black really ties together the front door and shutters. In this case, a white garage door in the same style just would not create the the same impact as the version in black above. To illustrate the difference, here's the same model garage door, with the same house, in grey instead of black:
While the grey door is nice, compared to the black we think it doesn't quite have the same impact as the contrasting black on a grey facade.
The other door in available in black is the Windemere, by General Doors Corpration. This is a steel carriage house style garage door that is available in nine colors, now including black.
In any colors these doors are an excellent choice, chosen by many homeowners for their construction, reliability and ease of maintenance. Both doors are available and ready for installation.

The South End, with its mix of tony nightspots and busy social service agencies, has long bridged the chic and the gritty.
But recently, residents and community leaders say, things have taken a darker turn.
They have noticed a surge in addicts wandering dazed into traffic, people camping out in neighborhood parks, and homes being broken into.
And then four shootings, including a homicide, in a weeklong period earlier this month struck at the very soul of the South End, a neighborhood transformed from its skid row past to its trendy present. The shootings prompted a peace march Thursday night, a community meeting Wednesday, and calls for increased police presence.
Crime is actually down from a year ago, police say. But that has done little to diminish concerns on the streets and inside the homes of the neighborhood.
"For me, it feels worse than at any time in the past 10 years,'' said longtime resident Scott Lush, a board member of the Claremont Neighborhood Association.
At the community meeting, Police Commissioner William B. Evans tried to allay fears, saying that the shootings involved people known to police and that the South End has improved dramatically over time.
"It's not like things are spiraling out of control," Evans said.
Major crime in the South End has declined 15 percent from 2014 to the present, according to the most recent Boston Police Department data.
Last year, there were 11 South End shootings in which a victim was injured. This year there have been five.
Incidences of robberies, larcenies, auto thefts, and burglaries also decreased in the South End, an area the police define as bounded by Albany and East Berkeley streets and Warren, Columbus, and Massachusetts avenues, ending at Melnea Cass Boulevard.
By comparison, there have been 14 homicides in Roxbury so far this year compared with 10 during the same period last year, police data show. Last year, five homicides were recorded in the South End; so far this year, there has been one.
"We have a lot more violence in some of Roxbury, Mattapan, and Dorchester, and we work hard every day to bring [crime statistics in] those neighborhoods down," Evans said. "This is one homicide [in the South End]. We should all be alarmed by it, but it's a safe neighborhood."
Steve Fox, who has lived in the neighborhood 30 years and chairs the South End Forum, which includes representatives of 15 neighborhood associations, said the data do not always tell the whole story. The way he and other residents see it, he said, shootings and incidents involving addicts are encroaching on the South End's quality of life.
"The statistics will tell you there is no crime wave,'' Fox said. "But we've seen in the past couple of weeks an accelerated rate of gun violence. . . . It is safe to say in the South End, this is an unusual surge for us."
Lush, the board member at the Claremont Neighborhood Association, said he has seen more addicts and homeless people loitering in the area near Boston Medical Center, a hub for social services, including shelters, methadone clinics, and programs for the down and out.
"All of these institutions have been there since the 1970s,'' he said. "That's when the South End was a war zone. But these poor souls are up against people who paid $1,000 per square foot for their homes."
Regina Pyle, chairwoman of the board of the Ellis South End Neighborhood Association, said the violence coupled with the increased presence of homeless people is concerning.
"The South End is very diverse,'' Pyle said. "The area I live in is very upscale, with all sorts of new young professionals."
Fox said he convened Wednesday's community meeting of the South End Forum. The meeting drew more than 100 people to the United South End Settlements building on Rutland Street. One attendee carried a container full of discarded syringes. Another said his home was recently broken into and his car window was smashed.
Police promised better patrols, more lighting in the troubled O'Day Playground, more training for at-risk youths.
Authorities said they intend to place more street workers in the Villa Victoria housing development, where Wellington Ruiz, 25, was fatally shot Dec. 9.
About two hours after Wednesday's meeting ended, a man was shot and wounded near Massachusetts Avenue and Washington Street.
On Thursday evening, Evans and Mayor Martin J. Walsh joined about 70 people in a march for peace. They carried candles and flowers, and stopped at past scenes of violence, including the spot on Aguadilla Street where Ruiz died.
They held a moment of silence near a memorial for Ruiz — which included candles, liquor bottles, and his photo — before Emily Duval, 14, read a prayerful reflection written by the poet Maya Angelou.
"Father, Mother, God," Duval read. "Thank you for your presence during the hard and mean days, for then we have you to lean upon."
As the march began, Walsh tried to assure the crowd.
"We need to make sure that we make sure our community's safe every single night,'' Walsh said.
Alex Maizonett, a 17-year-old marcher, said he understands the need to assure safety but said the city should also focus on increasing the number of community events.
"Basketball leagues, community cookouts," he said. "Just to bring everyone together."
The march came to an end at O'Day Playground, where another moment of silence was held for several homicide victims before Maizonett read a version of St. Francis' prayer for peace.
"Lord, make us an instrument of your peace," he read. "Where there is hatred, let us sow love."

Becky and Jill | Outer Banks Destination Wedding
Becky and Jill | Outer Banks Destination Wedding
Beach cottage wedding in Corolla, NC
Becky and Jill live in California, but Becky grew up in Hampton, Va and has visited the Outer Banks many times. They chose a Pine Island beach front home in Corolla, NC to wed this past weekend.
Jill is a contributing author in Hello Giggles, check it out if you like to smile!
The girls, and their pup Riley, had friends and family from all over the US (I heard an Aussie accent in there too) gather to celebrate their commitment to each other.
Becky and Jill had hair and make-up done in the same room, but back to back -so no peeking! Riley sat in her momma's lap, quivering a bit from all the excitement and hustle.
Jill used these last moment's to go over her vows to Becky.
The girls got dressed in separate rooms, on separate floors, to keep as much a secret as possible. They both had 'Bride' robes, and Jill has on a tank that reads, "Oh my god Becky". These girls are hilarious!
We met upstairs for a private first look. And by private, I mean I was there loudly clicking the whole time.
Sweet words had Becky's twin sister mopping up tears behind her.
While Jill and her sister are over here cracking up! I think Becky's brother, who officiated the ceremony, had everyone giggling as they realized the quote he cited from Hugh Anthony Cregg III, was actually song lyrics from, "Power of love" by Huey Lewis and the News. Follow think to have the song in your head all day.
Jill, being Jewish, taught Becky a Hebrew prayer to say during their wine ceremony. After they finished sipping the wine, they passed it over to Becky's brother, who quickly downed the glass as not to waste.
After being pronounced, 'wife and wife', Jill and Becky had their first kiss and then a stomp on glass followed by a few "Mozel Tov's!" from their guests.
We had perfect spring weather on the OBX and were able to walk to the beach for portraits. Riley is just so happy for her momma's!
Becky and Jill did not have bridal parties, instead they told their close friends to dress in a coral color. I love this idea! Everyone coordinated and looked great for pictures, but didn't match- everyone had their own style!
Both of these ladies are just stunning! I need two gorgeous brides for every wedding please! These two are in love and so very kind and sweet with each other.
One of our favorite vendors, DJ Bruce, had everyone up and dancing! Renee Landry Events had café lights strung across the top of the dance floor and High Cotton BBQ provided the most delicious pork you'll ever taste!
After the girls first dance, they had tandem father/daughter dances. They started off traditional, but turned into a funny coordinated dance for all! These girls are hilarious, and so are their dads!
High Cotton BBQ catered the reception. The girls had to show their out of town guests the traditional NC way of eating coleslaw on top of the sandwich.
The Greenhouse Picker Sister's outfitted the wedding and reception area in a boho chic style of repurposed doors, drawers and desks.
Alicia, from Lovie's Salon and Spa, did an amazing job with hair and make-up!
Becky and Jill's family and friends gave touching speeches that had me sniffling behind the camera. Of course, it ended on a funny note, as Becky's good friend told of Jill's Cher impressions.
I love when couples personalize their cake toppers. We see a lot of white chocolate seashells and graham cracker sand, as most of our weddings are on the Outer Banks.
It was like the '90's hit just me in the face- but in the best possible way, folks! I mouthed the words to Salt-N-Pepa's, "Shoop" and Wilson Phillip's, "Hold on" while I spied bright yellow and hot pink hair standing on end. Two Troll Kids topped their wedding cake! The trolls wore matching bride dresses, no doubt hiding their jeweled belly buttons.
Congrats, Mozel Tov and L'chaim, gals!
I hope your lives are filled with love, laughter and babies!!!

Introducing Lady, my Dachshund

Now that you're a graduate, what's next?
September 4, 2013 § Leave a comment
Many of youngster these days have either an undergraduate degree or even a post graduate degree and are all facing a common BIG problem. The issue is that they are UNABLE to find a job.
Suppose they happen to get an interview, they will not be paid adequately for the level of education attained just because they do not have the necessary experiences. Don't you think that the issue of exploitation arises?
Personally, I believe that these days after your first degree it's better that you strive to get a job, gain some experiences and if ever in the work there is more prospects, why not go for a Master degree in that field?
What's the use of producing elites when they can not find a suitable job?
Dear boys…
February 27, 2012 § 2 Comments
The boy is a type of child made from a faulty chemical Y at the Man Factory.
Dear Boys,
I hope that one day you will fall on my blog and across this particular post. The trend among boys these days is to pretend to be so macho! Unfortunately it is sad to see what you are doing to your future.
The most striking thing I have seen that is that boys get over excited so easily upon petty issues. It is more than girls! Seriously after hearing a gossip form here and there all that crop into their mind is solving the issue physically.
My personal experience was at the University when someone higher up the ladder at the SU popped in the class while the teacher was still explaining. He was hell-bent on throwing us out of the class to throw us out of that class. Luckily the lecture is a magistrate and he dealt with the issue very sensibly. He explained to him that we will almost end and that he should allow us some more minutes When we left the class he was behaving like those stupid kids rejoicing upon a 'victory' and he dared to reply us ( almost like mocking us). I wonder if he was bullying our whole class…
Another kind of boys are those who are very protective towards ones particular friends. The moment the latter is in trouble or whatsoever, all they do is play the blame game instead of lending a helping hand.I believe keeping your sang-froid is one of the major attribute that define your personality and anyone who can refrain from acting stupidly in a fit of anger, pressure is someone with a great personality.
I do not understand boys' particularly aggressive behaviour. (I'm not stereotyping..) I agree that they are trying to protect their self-esteem and that it is really heard to accept defeat in a boys' discussion but seriously, the ones that forgive and move on are the better persons. The ones who keep their composure and take a good decision based on hollistic facts are
the real gentlemen.
To end, I am not stereotyping again.
Suicide in Mauritius…
February 26, 2012 § 5 Comments
As praised, Mauritius is heaven. Nevertheless looking at the innumerable suicide cases these days it feels otherwise.
Suicide used to be common among people who had psychological problem, financial problem, relationship problem but the trend changed to educational and work constraints.
Mauritius is knowing a high number of suicide among youngsters. I think more specialised bodies should be set up to help those people who have suicidal tendencies or even if we know someone having those tendencies we try our level best to help them.
At the educational level, teachers should give up humiliation. Gone are the days when students were humiliated in front of the whole class and beaten as animals. There are various ways to punish a child. Psychology and pedagogy training should be mandatory in the curriculum of teachers.
Also, considering the 11 year old boy case who committed suicide lately we see that the child was beaten and he lost his father tragically. Adding up to this, his family lived in extreme poverty. When cases of murder happens in our country I think great assistance should be given to those relatives so as to avoid suicidal tendencies.
At professional level, more precisely in the Police Force section I think that the punishment given to the trainers should be reasonable. Not everybody have the same character or react the way. There are people who are very emotional by nature and the moment they are humiliated or shouted at they lose their control and are totally vulnerable to suicide. Professional should engage in a new policy that of treating workers well.
Stress is another fact leading to suicide and yet there are many ways to get over it. Many leisure facilities are available these days. One's frustration should not be vent on others as it might have undesirable consequences. A personal fact was that last time a lecturer came to class and the only student she took upon was me. I was not given time to justify myself that she went on and on. The next moment I could not bear that anymore and I made her aware that I was leaving her class. I reported the matter to the people concerned and soon the matter was solved. However, the opinions of other who were present that particular time in class are really biased. It used to extremely disturbed me to step again in that class but many of my loving ones really encouraged me to get over that. It worked. Have I not be surrounded by such people I would have seriously made a nervous break down.
So whenever you are humiliated, on the verge to have a nervous break down, feeling awkward about opinions and regards of others, talk to your dear ones.
Are some doctors without brains or ethics?
September 8, 2011 § Leave a comment
At times we found ourselves in situations where people get you on your nerves and you try hard to control your words.
Happened that I fell ill and went to the hospital. On entering the doctor's room, the very first thing she asks me why did not I go the dispensary? I was stunned! I replied nicely to her that in the dispensary all I get as medicine is 'Panadol'(paracetamol) for any health constraints I get. She told me bluntly " This is what you will get here as well." She was so arrogant and angry. I felt like she was paying me for taking her time. She asked me useless questions instead of coming to the point directly.
She made me feel so awkward with her questions that I frowned. Then I told her I have been suffering from certain muscular pain and other health constraints and i waited for a question to proceed further. Nevertheless all she could tell me was "You don't have illness.Stomach pain in not an illness.You are not ill."
This time I could not bear her anymore and was about to move out of her room. When she saw I was angry and bored with her silly questions and answer game, she took her stethoscope and put it on my chest and asked if I was allergic with any medicine. I gave her a response and she proceeded with her writings. Eventually all I got as medical care was paracetamol and dyclofenac to be drink together thrice a day.
I wonder if this will cure my health problems. No doubt we hear a lot of complaints about doctors these days in Mauritius. I am not generalising but there are excellent doctors as well in our country. I respect your knowledge dear doctors but I would like to highlight the fact that it is because we, ordinary people demand your services that you are employed and your earn a decent living and status. But why is it that you people make us so desperate to let us know what we really suffer from?
No courtesy..
February 22, 2011 § 4 Comments
Few days ago, on my way to university, I was waiting for the express bus early in the morning (6.3O a.m). Unfortunately, that was not my day as i got standing all way long from Goodlands to PortLouis! This is the most awful thing that a girl can endure.
When i got in the bus, i had to go at the back to stand as more people will be getting in the bus on the next stop. As the bus speeded, tiny as i am, i was going in all the directions. Poor me, it was difficult to stand up handing that bar for 45 minutes. In the back, sat all the men and boy but no one had the courtesy to offer me their place. We wonder where all the courtesy has gone!
I remember one morning last year in the express i gave my place to an old man because i could see the difficulties he was having to stand while the bus is going at full speed. Being a girl ,i offered my place and the men kept looking as if it was something normal. I am not generalising but i got friends (boys) who do give their place.
Last time, a few friends and i went for lunch and while crossing the road, a bus stopped to give us way. As we crossed the road,a car behind the bus, overtook it and ran over the pedestrian crossing. We stopped on the spot and we got panicked. Luckily the driver stopped at the right moment. We stared at him hoping, at least, for an apology but to our surprise, he swore at us and drove away. Not only he was wrong but he had guts to get angry at us. Damn! where the courtesy has gone?
In our everyday life, we all encounter such problems and no doubt, with time,Mauritian courtesy is disappearing.People it is high time to get to introduce again courtesy in our culture.

Ashish SS19
Eat. Sleep. Rave. Repeat.
For spring summer 2019, Ashish invited us all to an underground 90's rave. The DJ was blasting techno from the massive speakers, whilst boy voguers danced on raised podiums, and couples kissed in dark corners. The wet look created by makeup artist Issamaya French and hairstylist Sam McKnight took on a whole new meaning, with the models appearing more and more drenched as the show progressed. There ain't no party like an Ashish party.

I'm tired, I've been stressed out – not for any particular reason, just stressed out, maybe from being tired: clearly a vicious cycle. I've got some money saved up from Christmas and selling off CDs, and I won't say it's been burning a hole in my pocket, but I've really been wondering what exactly I should do with it besides just funnelling it back into more music or just saving it. Something didn't seem right with that – that I made a big effort to rid myself of some excess CDs, and it's not going into something "fun" for me. Maybe it's selfish, but I feel like there have been too many times where I've opted to go for the safe thing – music – instead of the "fun" thing, whatever that may be. And so I let the issue sit, figuring that the money isn't going anywhere, and should something "fun" pop into my head, I should seriously consider going for it. And then something did:
But reason tried to intervene – "Come on, a remote control car? You're two weeks shy of being 33 years old! This is not the behavior of a 33 year old man – a father, no less." And so I backed off the idea. But it kept nagging at me, taking me back to much younger days when my biggest concern was getting the battery for one of these things charged quickly to get out and play with it, or tearing it apart to rebuild it again after cleaning it. These are obsessive little tasks that keep a bored mind occupied, and maybe that's exactly what I need right now. And let's be completely honest here: I had one of these when I got laid off in 2001 and wound up selling it to get some much needed cash, so it's not like I'm not one to give in to toys like this.
So, finally tonight I made up my mind: this is my birthday present to myself. I bought the Tamiya TLT-1 Max Climber kit, the remote control, battery, charger, and other assorted small things necessary to bring one of these beasts to life, and as a good birthday present should, it should (if the UPS gods smile upon me) arrive just in time for my birthday next weekend. It's an expensive diversion, but it's going to be a fun diversion.

Bright and Dark
This project by Alexander Design is incredible. It's bright with tons of natural light, while incorporating a range of darker colors to bring depth to the space.
This kitchen is great. I love the navy blue cabinets paired with the wood shelves.
I love so many things about this bathroom. First of all, the floor is fantastic. The tile reminds me of a vintage Moroccan rug. And the rug on top of it is lovely. My favorite part is definitely the shower. The black subway tile is so unexpected and maybe even feels a little out of place. But the white walls and floor balance out the shower, so it doesn't feel too visually heavy. Simply stunning!

Alternating Currents & Daytrotter
Guys! We had SUCH a great time in Davenport, Iowa this past weekend. We got to play in the Inaugural Alternating Currents festival over at Daytrotter headquarters and it was a BLAST! If you're anywhere near Davenport, Iowa, we HIGHLY recommend you head over there for a rock show. Amazing place with amazing people. They even live-streamed our set... That's posted on our Facebook page.
The following morning, we were exhausted but stoked to play a LIVE set for the Daytrotter sessions. They took care of us once again and let us rock a fun four tunes for you, LIVE. They live streamed that one, too. How cool is that? Here it is in case you missed it. Also, did I mention we got to rock with our brothers The Smoking Popes!? They have live streams over @ Daytrotter, too! Check it out. That's on our Facebook page, too!
Anyway, we miss you. Hope to see you guys this Saturday at Tivoli in Downers Grove for our set with our brother-in-rock, Johnny from Lights Over Bridgeport. He'll be rocking the double duty that night playing with us and his fellas in LOB.

Yes, that's one of the greatest running backs of the past 20 years, riding the wrong way down a rain-slicked road, popping a wheelie, then swerving out of the path of a bus at the last possible second.
Lest you think that this is not Marshawn Lynch, the former Seahawks star, here's some indisputable visual confirmation.
For any local NFL fans Marshawn Lynch is kicking about Paisley on a BMX �� doesn't like being video'd �� @NFLUK @SkySportsNFL @SkySportsNewsHQ pic.twitter.com/Cwspe2kwXbâ Steff CSL RSC (@Steff_James84) January 17, 2017
Resident NFL Media Brit Henry Hodgson likened this cameo to Cristiano Ronaldo pedaling his BMX through my small New York hometown.
The Gazette, a newspaper serving Paisley and surrounding areas, reported that Lynch was filming at the Houston Kiltmakers shop. Lynch's presence at Houston Kiltmakers could be connected to the Super Bowl being played in Houston next month. This seems a long way -- literally and figuratively -- to go for a joke, but we'll reserve judgment until we see it.
Be careful, Marshawn. You ran over many defenders in your day, but you will not win a collision with a bus. OK, you probably won't win a collision with a bus.

We spent a Sunday afternoon on the Jefferson Park short 9 since the weather was sunny and a bit warmer. Kids are free after noon and it was nice to walk alongside them as they left a trail of wedged out lawn along the way.
I wanted to take a peek at the waterfront since I'd been spending so much time down there this week learning more about the squid. I haven't seen the water on a low tide, but arrived about and hour prior to the low. I started on the wheel side and didn't have much luck.
I glanced over at the Aquarium side and it appeared the bite was on. My wife had gone over to explore with our youngest son. My older son and I packed up and moved to get in with the action.
We found a spot and bellied up to the railing and cast out. The water line was alot lower, but soon after the first squid came to hand. My family was soon tired and hungry, so I called it and we went to Ocean city for some Chinese food.
Only brought back 9-10 squid, which I'll hopefully add more to this week.

Yoga and the Wisdom of Ayurveda
The go-to resource for planning your yoga retreats & holidays. Find all you need to know about destinations and take your practice to the next level.
Discover Yoga Retreats now
As the spread of Indian wellbeing knowledge continues to migrate around the world, we stand on the brink of a revolution in health. Ayurveda, India's ancient science of holistic health care, is tipped by industry experts to be the wellbeing phenomenon of this decade.
An extensive field of knowledge devoted to personalized care according to your individual Ayurvedic dosha type, Ayurveda opens the door to a new level of depth in your yoga practice.
The basis of Ayurvedic medicine
Yoga and Ayurveda are twin sciences based on an original Vedic system of evolutionary theory called Samkhya. The theory explains how pure Spirit (or Consciousness) evolved into the objects of our material world, which all share a basis in the five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth.
Some Ayurvedic medicine and herbs
These five elements form the basis of the Tantric theories of the chakras that run through the Hatha Yoga system, as well as the basis of Ayurvedic medicine, which carefully analyzes the individual to give you the health treatments and lifestyle practices most suitable for you.
Ayurveda to revolutionize your yoga practice
Knowledge of your personal Ayurvedic type can seriously revolutionize your yoga practice, giving you the tools to pacify your own particular Ayurvedic dosha imbalance.
Kairali Yoga, an Ayurvedic hospital located in Kerala, India
When you choose a yoga retreat experience at an Ayurvedic center, you will benefit from a skillful and intuitive doctor's analysis to put you on the path to perfect health.
Ayurvedic doctors are equipped with years of in-depth scriptural training to enable them to assess the balance of Vata dosha (ether and air elements), Pitta dosha (fire and water elements), and Kapha dosha (water and earth elements) within each individual.
Go on a meditation and Ayurveda retreat and apply the Ayurvedic knowledge to your yoga practice!

Depression Self Help - How do you accomplish that when you're the one that's depressed?
I'm standing on the other side of depression so I'm putting myself in your shoes – someone who's battling depression actively – and I'm thinking to myself "If someone would have said that to me when I was actively battling depression I would have lectured them up one side and down the other about how 'I can't help it' or 'I have a chemical imbalance' or 'look at everything I've been through.'"
So if you're thinking these things right now, or any other number of excuses we come up with when we're battling depression, I have one thing I want you to remember…You're Right.
I am not a cruel person. I'm not a person who lacks compassion. One of my loudest characteristics has been said to be empathy. I am just a girl who has been through it. I probably haven't been through what you've been through. (I know. That's what I used to respond with as well.) Perhaps you're right. But you haven't been through what the next person has been.
There is always someone who has it worse than you do.
I don't mean to undermine your feelings - believe me, I've had them. But I want you to know before you tread deeper into this website, my intention here is to help you get out of your own way using depression self help. And I will if you'll let yourself.
So yes, we've heard it all before. What a cliché actually. The "there's someone else who has it worse than you" phrase. But truly, have you ever taken the time in between your sorrows to look around?
I knew someone who was a victim of something unspeakable. This woman is now one of the happiest and most inspiring women I have ever known.
When I made up my mind to get my life back, I would think of her whenever I was feeling down, to remind myself, not of her troubles, but of her victories. To remember that nothing I have ever gone through would be as difficult as what she had to overcome, but she did. Why did she? Why did I? Why should you begin
Depression Self Help
Because whatever you're going through, from this moment on, is in your past.
And now, one moment later, another moment is gone and it is now in your past. You began reading this webpage a few moments ago. They are now a part of your past. Our lives are passing us by one moment at a time.
The past is gone. It can't be changed, or rearranged, so let it go. The future? The future is a result of what you're doing now. What are you doing today? Being depressed in the present is the worst investment you can make toward your future.
So, from this moment on welcome yourself to your new life. Take a deep breath, start your positive self-talk and let go so you too can experience the relief that comes with depression self help.

Growing My Heart
Whenever anyone of us has daydreamed about romantic love in the future, no one ever thought, "I'll met a wonderful person, fall in love, and then he'll die. And then I'll meet another wonderful person and fall in love." Every fairytale or love story follows a pattern where two people meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. As these stories start there is usually a dreaded additional suitor, a mean boyfriend, or a lack of connection in the woman's current relationship, but all signs point to the fast-approaching moment where she meets her one and only soul mate. In some ways, my life mirrored this story before Isaac died. It was like a love story out of a book. City girl falls in love with a humble, cowboy. But when Isaac died, my happily ever after was interrupted with a sequel.
After Isaac died, my heart shattered and my world shifted. Whether I wanted life to move in a different direction, it was moving and there was no way for me to get off the train. I knew quite quickly how I needed to adjust in the aftermath of his death. I knew I was to go back to school and develop a more advanced career. I also knew that at some point I would want to marry again. Although I think most people assumed that I would date and remarry, I know it can be difficult for others to watch me actually date. As I move forward, I understand that for others this only makes their grief more real. As Isaac's wife, every moment following his death was a reminder of his absence. Those millions of moments made it impossible for me to ignore or push away the great loss that I felt. Others do not experience the same number of moments and changes that I have. I felt very nervous when I told my in-laws that I was dating. I felt scared because I knew it could compound their grief. I felt scared because I love them and I didn't want them to feel more loss. I felt scared that it could change my relationship with them. There is no rule book on how to introduce your boyfriend to your in-laws. While introducing my boyfriend to Isaac's family was intimidating to me, informing others of my boyfriend has not been easy either.
When I told my family that I had met someone, there was some trepidation along with excitement for me. I think those who love me knew how much pain I had experienced and did not know how to respond to news that I would now be in a position that could leave me vulnerable to heartbreak once again. Some friends were very excited. Other friends and colleagues expressed concern. Often widows get advice like, "You need 3 years." While some people questioned if I should date, others questioned how much I still incorporated Isaac into my life. Some questioned if I was ready to date.
I wasn't.
I wasn't ready to date and I'm not "over" Isaac. This can be difficult for others to understand. I will never get over losing Isaac. There is never a time that a woman is ready to lose her husband or ready to date again. Life almost never works that way. Life has a way of preparing you as you simply live it.
As I've noticed people's reactions to my situation, I've realized how much we want things to be simple, or black and white. I, too, like things to be organized and in their place, but when Isaac died everything changed. My life could no longer fit in a box; it wasn't cookie cutter. I not only mourned the loss of Isaac, I mourned the loss of my simple life. Isaac was a simple man and there was something so beautiful about that. I knew that life after Isaac would be complex. I worried about my ability to love another person. I hoped with all my heart that I would be able to.
As I pondered what my love for Isaac meant for my future, I asked myself a few questions. If you really loved someone, does that carry you to the end of your life? If you really loved someone, does that prevent you from loving another? Does great love help you to feel open to new love? Is suffering or loneliness a manifestation of love? To love someone new, would I stop loving Isaac? Could I still love Isaac and love another man?
I struggled with similar questions when I was about to have my second child. I worried that I would be able to love Rose as much as I loved Wyatt. Or what if I loved Rose more than Wyatt? But once I had Rose, I knew that love doesn't divide, it multiplies. And although I can't explain how it is that I can still love Isaac and now love Adam, I know that I do. When others seem confused, I feel like they are asking me, "Is it black or white?" And I want to answer them, "It's a beautiful rainbow." But how do you explain color to someone who can only see black and white? It may seem strange to use the analogy of color to explain grief when we usually associate death with black. However, death has taught me that just like color, the possibilities are endless. In a way, Isaac was my sunshine and his death was the most terrible storm that blew in. But Adam is my rainbow. He is this miracle that I never could have expected. Rainbows require both sun and rain but sometimes rainbows appear before the storm is over.
When I met Adam, I didn't how our lives would fit together. As my feelings for him grew, my heart grew too. It hasn't been an easy process. I've had to heal my heart as it grows. In many ways my relationship with Adam has forced me confront parts of my grief that I might otherwise have procrastinated. It's been such a blessing to have Adam's support as I grieve and heal. I think people can worry that Adam replaces Isaac and Isaac will be forgotten. Others may assume that Adam fixes the loss and that I'm "all better" now. I've heard other widows say, "I'm not giving back my widow card." I'll always be a widow because I lost my husband. And someday I'll be married again, but entering a new relationship doesn't change the journey I took. My journey to point B was not a direct line from point A. It's not that everyone needs to know what it took to get here. I don't feel some great need to hold onto the title of widow, but I also can't pretend that I'm the same as I was before or that marriage reverses things.
About a month before a met Adam, I remember feeling really down. It had been almost a year since Isaac's death. Even though a year had passed and I was more used to being a single mom, it still felt so heavy and difficult. I remember praying on my knees one night. I told God that I couldn't understand why he was asking me to go through the hardest thing I had ever been through and to do it without my partner. I told God that if this is what he wanted me to do, and I wasn't going to have help from Isaac, I was going to need His grace. And then He sent Adam. I really believe that. As a grieving, single mom starting a PhD program, I didn't have time to date in the ways people typically date. I couldn't imagine dedicating time to online dating. I couldn't imagine dating long distance, and I couldn't imagine that I could find anyone to date in Lubbock. But as Adam and I became friends and I started to like him, I realized that maybe I could date. As we interacted through work and school, it was easy to get to know him really well without the dating process taking away from my time with my children. There was no other way I could have created the space for a relationship. The relationship was possible because it didn't require me to make big changes overnight or sacrifice the other important things in my life.
As I look back on the past year, I'm filled with wonder as I see how God has worked in my life directly and through others. I can't say that it has been easy because it has still been a difficult year as I had to navigate school, work, single parenting, and a new relationship. God didn't make things easy but He made things possible that felt impossible. And most of all, He helped me to replace tears with laughter and loneliness with connection. I'm so grateful to have Adam in my life. There aren't a lot of people who will join you on your journey, especially the way a partner does. Most of us commit when things are at their best and we commit to stick around when things get bad. But because of my situation, I think Adam and I have been able to see both the good and the bad. Dating after marriage is very different. It can often feel more like marriage because you can't so easily be swept away by the fantasy. There are children, responsibilities, and grief to remind you that you still live on earth, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Real love doesn't live in a fantasy but lives in adversity. Finding love isn't about finding a big heart, a perfect heart, or an unbroken heart. It's about growing your heart.

Hillary Clinton's Presidential Run Could Change The Way Movies Portray Female Presidents
Up to this point, those many of us wishing to witness a female president take up in the White House have had to settle for seeing our dreams met in fiction alone. Now that Hillary Clinton has announced her campaign for presidency, though, we might no longer have to rely on films and television shows to undertake this huge step in civil history. And that's a great thing for many reasons, not the least of which being the fact that most of our media's fictional female presidents have been… well, not exactly great.
The general community of women who have ascended to the position of Commander-in-Chief in American pop culture has been marked by either abject inadequacy, bona fide villainy, or an ultimate disinterest in the job (usually in favor of exploring a romantic relationship, or raising a family). Sure. we've had some passable entries over the years — Patty Duke in Hail to the Chief wasn't bad (she was, after all, Patty Duke) — but the vast majority of ladies to earn the POTUS title on the big or small screen have not quite lived up to the caliber of competence that we'd want for the leader of our nation.
Beginning with one of the earliest entries to illustrate an America led by a female president, we have the 1964 comedy movie Kisses for My President. More concerned with the challenges that the role of First Man imparted upon President Leslie McCloud's husband's masculinity than it was with anything to do with the POTUS herself, the film came out the gate with some misguided intentions...and that's long before it concludes its story with McCloud resigning after finding out she is pregnant because she ultimately decides that she is better served to cater to her family than to the nation at large.
These disappointing portrayals of female world leaders continued on, even through eras less amenable to such an ostentatious embrace of chauvinism. More recent variations on the idea have given us Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica (undone more by her physical disease than by genuine incapability at leadership), Selina Kyle of Veep (intelligent, but wicked and insecure to the point of self-sabotage), and Sally Langston of Scandal (a good politician, but she murdered someone, so there you go).
As such, we could really seem to use a new perspective on female presidency. No longer should we be beheld to the insinuation that a married woman or a mother cannot devote full attention to governing the United States; and maybe we shouldn't feel stuck parodying the Sarah Palins of the world, as seen in films like Iron Sky, when there might be plenty of more optimistic figures out there on whom to base our characters — especially now, with Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign underway.
