Today I want to share how to create a very simple morning routine and give you a sneak peek into what my routine looks like.
You may be thinking, what is a morning routine and why do I have to add something else on my to do list??
Having a morning routine means you start the day on YOUR terms. You create the tone for the day; you begin the morning with activities that matter most to you.
A simple morning routine really helps on this crazy health and fitness journey, particularly when it focuses on your mindset, nutrition and activity.
When I decided I needed a morning routine, I was tempted to create a super complex PERFECT morning routine, but I encourage you to really KISS (keep it simple sweetie). Your routine should make you happy and you should look forward to it each day. If your morning routine becomes the AM equivalent of a dental visit, it's easy to become resentful or overwhelmed.
How to create a simple morning routine.
Step 1 – Start with a "can do" attitude.
As with any new habit or activity, decide you will make this a part of your life and commit to doing your morning routine daily. Remember, the goal of a morning routine is to benefit YOU. Resolve to become more positive, focused and happy in the morning.
Step 2 – Choose activities to set you up for a positive day.
I always include three main elements in my morning routine, whether I choose to do my routine in 5 minutes, 15 minutes or 50 minutes. Those areas are move, nourish, and believe. (I totally borrowed the MNB philosophy from the good people at Lorna Jane Active!)
I like to do a little bit of activity in the morning. It's not necessarily my main workout but I will take a short walk outside if the weather is nice, do little bit of yoga, or some stretches. Something to get the blood pumping and to help wake me up.
Can you squeeze in a tiny bit of activity? What sounds appealing?
For me, nourishing myself starts with a big 'ol glass of water. I fill my bright colorful Tervis cup with ice water and sip it while tackling the next area, which is "believe." I may or may not eat breakfast as part of my morning routine, depending on how much time I have or if I am intermittent fasting.
How do you choose to nourish yourself first ting in the morning? Water? A healthy breakfast? Green smoothie? Vitamins or supplements?
Believe is all about your attitude. It's about beginning the day in a positive way before the chaos of life comes hurtling straight toward you. I always spend at least five minutes reading a personal development book, watching an inspirational video or listening to a podcast in the morning. (The Model Health Show is one of my favorite health & fitness podcasts.) I totally need to get my head in the right place before I tackle my day, my family and my business!
What is personal development? It's simply working on yourself. It can be developing leadership skills, becoming a better parent or spouse, working on your confidence level, or feeding your mind with positive thoughts for the day. Anything to make you a better person.
Some people choose to use meditation, prayer or scripture reading as a form of personal development, so this is another option for you.
What type of personal development calls to you?
Is there anything else you would like to add to your morning routine to make your AM super amazing? Maybe you want to do a quick 10 minute kitchen clean-up or throw in a load of laundry. It might be taking the kids to the bus stop by 7:30am, or grabbing your briefcase and lunch before heading out the door.
Customize your morning routine to fit YOU.
Step 3 – Map out an ideal morning routine, and create an "oh crap, I overslept" version!
Create a logical order that works for you.
Since I'm tired and moving slowly in the morning, I drink my water first. I'll sip my H2O and pull up an inspirational video on my iPad or book on my Kindle for my personal development. Once I'm a little bit more awake I'll take a quick walk or do some yoga.
This order works well for me, but what works best for you?
On a busy day I can rock this simple morning routine in less than 10 minutes. Come downstairs, chug a glass of water, pop in some headphones and listen to a motivational podcast while I'm doing some morning stretches. Simple and speedy, but it starts my day on a positive note.
On the weekend I have more time. I may drink my water and then eat breakfast. After breakfast I grab a motivational book, sit in a nice comfy chair and read. Very likely I'll sip some coffee! Once the coffee has kicked in and I'm sufficiently awake, I'll tackle a workout. Since it's the weekend and I have more time this will be my workout of the day.
Step 4 – Schedule your morning routine until it becomes a habit.
Set an alarm on your smart phone to remind you to do your morning routine, or put a sticky note on your bathroom mirror. Create some type of reminder so you don't forget or, trust me, you will!
Step 5 – Track this new morning routine habit.
What? Why should I track my morning routine?
Because you want it to "stick" and become a normal, natural part of your day. Tracking habits (whether it's your morning routine, going to the gym, or anything else) is really important. When I'm working on something new I want to see at a glance if I am making progress. Just like your reminder, you can track this habit on your planner, with a check mark on a sticky note, a star on a piece of scrap paper, or throw a quarter in a jar to signify each day you've rocked your morning routine.
I track my morning (and other routines) the printables shown in the image on the left. I like a weekly format so I can change up my routines, if need be. I see exactly which tasks are being done regularly, and which I have to work on.
The printables are available in my Etsy shop. Just click to take a peek.
Bonus Step 6 – Reward yourself.
Your real reward will be starting your day as a more confident, focused, relaxed person, but I always build in rewards when working on a new habit. Schedule a massage when you've completed 20 morning routines, or treat yourself to a scented candle or new book.
What type of reward will motivate you to create this new habit?
The days I do my morning routine start so much smoother. I love that I am the one controlling how the day begins. But what about you? Do you have a morning routine? Or will you be creating one? I'd love for you to share in the comments!

With 100% English Ancestry, I thought it might be really difficult to trace my ancestors back in England from Canada. Only my mother, her father and his mother were born in Canada. This Blog will talk about researching my English ancestors from Canada but also the ancestors of our son in law whose families stretch back far into Colonial French Canada. My one name study of Blake and of Pincombe also dominate my blog these days.

To start your week off right, here are some warm, sunny vibes coming your way!
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I've been spending the week in Sanibel, Florida. My Gran-In-Law has a house there where she spends her winters to get away from the cold. Since I work remotely, I thought it'd be nice to join in on the sun and spend a week down south. Of course, I snapped a few pictures to share with you all the warm seaside feels.
Gran has a few sea shell projects around the house. I promise you, more on this to come.
Our last day in town, we toured the Historic Village where there are old country houses filled with beautiful relics. I wish the pieces could talk – I'm sure they'd have some good stories to tell.
When my plane landed back in Connecticut yesterday, I felt like I was bringing some of the sun back home with me. Things have been warming up! The snow is gone (for now) and I can almost believe that Spring is around the corner.
Much love.

Harvey Keitel's teenage son assaulted in New York City
Harvey Keitel's teenage son was assaulted in New York City on Tuesday, Fox News has learned.
NYPD Lt. John Grimpel told Fox News that a male victim was taken to Beth Israel Hospital and treated for minor injuries.
"On Tuesday June 12, 2018, at approximately [5:30 p.m.]... it was reported to police that a 13-year-old male victim was assaulted after a verbal dispute ensued. The individuals fled the location in parts unknown," Grimpel told us.
Police would not confirm the victim's identity, however, Fox News has confirmed it was Keitel's 13-year-old son Roman.
Roman Keitel was riding his bike in lower Manhattan when he was beaten up by two teens trying to steal his bicycle, the New York Daily News reported.
Keitel refused to give the teens his ride and who in turn assaulted the boy, punching him in the face and the nose, the newspaper reported. The teens didn't reportedly end up stealing the bicycle.
No arrests have been made and suspects were not immediately identified. Harvey Keitel's agency didn't immediately return a request for comment by Fox News.
Roman Keitel is Harvey's youngest son. Harvey Keitel, 79, is currently rapping up "The Irishman," which is set to be released on Netflix in 2019.

A subtle change in nomenclature, but it signals an important shift in the way General Motors Corp. is determined to build the brand identity of individual models.
You might call it GM Marketing by Smale.
An estimated $40 million marketing push for the model goes into full swing Sept. 8 with a multimedia campaign that uses "Riviera by Buick" as the only tag. "The new symbol for quality in America," the theme line used in other Buick advertising, won't be applied to Riviera for at least six months.
The car's exterior carries two Riviera badges, front and rear, and a "Riviera" nameplate on a side panel. The Buick name appears only on the interior dash, where "Riviera by Buick" is scripted.
"We want to really put the spotlight on Riviera," said Jay Qualman Jr., Buick's general director-advertising. Mr. Qualman and other Buick executives hope the sleek new $27,000-plus Riviera will earn the status of "a new classic" in the tradition of the original Riviera, a 1963 model that established the idea of a personal luxury car.
The Riviera isn't the only new GM model that will be marketed as if it were a separate brand.
The Aurora, a new $32,000 luxury sedan, will get similar treatment and will be sold only by Olds-
mobile dealers who complete intensive customer-relations courses. An Aurora ad campaign from Leo Burnett USA, Chicago, will break in mid-September.
"This is a marketing approach that has been used successfully in package-goods areas," said John Bissell, managing partner with Gundersen Partners, a Bloomfield Hills, Mich., marketing consultancy. "You can see the hand of John Smale somewhere in the background."
Mr. Smale, GM's chairman since a boardroom revolt in late 1992, is a former chairman of Procter & Gamble Co. noted for his marketing expertise. He's said to be actively involved behind the scenes in developing GM's broad marketing strategy.
It remains to be seen how far GM will carry the move to bolster the identity of individual models. The automaker has about 50 car and truck model names split among six divisions and subsidiary Saturn Corp. Creating a distinctive identity for each model could be too costly for GM and too confusing for consumers.
The Riviera is the kind of high-image vehicle that could benefit from a separate marketing effort like the one crafted by McCann-Erickson Worldwide, Troy, Mich. The car's competitors include luxury models like the Lincoln Mark VIII, Chrysler LHS, Acura Legend, Lexus SC300 and BMW 535.
Centerpiece of the effort is a 60-second spot that will run on ABC, CBS and NBC during prime time on Sept. 8 and 11.
The spot positions the Riviera as a stylish concept car come to life. It uses a "Mission: Impossible"-like plot, with two men breaking into a design studio to steal a Riviera and then leading a high-speed chase involving a helicopter and a roadblock.
The campaign also includes three 30-second spots on network and cable; gatefolds, four-page inserts and spreads in a variety of newsweeklies, business publications and upscale lifestyle magazines; and radio, outdoor and direct marketing components.
McCann developed an 8-minute video that has already been mailed to 60,000 people who requested more information after seeing the car at auto shows or in teaser advertising that broke in July. Future Riviera print ads will also carry an 800-number or a business response card to get the video.

Gluten Free and new Burger King Fries
The fries are still on the company's "gluten sensitive" list, which includes menu items that do not contain wheat, barley, rye or oats. Kristen Hauser, a Burger King spokeswoman, sent me the most updated version of the list this morning. It indicated the fries continue to be made without gluten-containing ingredients.
Hauser did not immediately provide details on specific ingredients. But if she does supply that information I will update this blog. Of most concern to gluten-free consumers is a new coating reportedly on the fries to keep them crispier and hotter longer.
Burger King continues to note that the fries may be fried with gluten-containing foods. This could include breaded onion rings. Foods fried in oil shared with gluten-containg items are generally considered to be cross-contaminated and unsafe on the gluten-free diet.
Burger King says the new fries are thicker and have less sodium. "A thicker cut of potato gives each bite more fluffy, potato flavor on the inside and crispy, golden-brown deliciousness on the outside," the company said in a press release anouncing the change in their fries, the first since 1998.

so much better to make your fries at home yourself.. and I have a trick for soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside fries! it does require home canning though. Simply cut your fries and bottle them in quart jars the same way you would any other potatoes (though we do add seasonings to the bottling mix, that way they are pre-seasoned..) then, when we want fries, we just open a bottle, pat them dry and fry them up. So yummy, you know exactly what's in them, and when they're gone, well, then you're done and no more fries. 1 quart jar is good for 2 people (ok, maybe more, but you're not gonna want to share..)

When I worked at BK 10 years ago they fried the onion rings in the same oil as the fries, so I would ask before ordering them. So far the only place I can eat fries is Wendy's and I always call first if it's one I haven't been to before, to make sure they have a separate fryer for the nuggets and fries (which most do).

For pupils in several German states (although not here in Bavaria) the new school year has already commenced. For the youngsters a page turns, a new chapter begins, although I cannot explain why this annual transition still resonates with an old codger in his seventy-seventh year. Perhaps it is just the intimation of autumnal days to come.
However autumn seemed far off this weekend in Munich. Blue skies and hot sunshine seemed to have inspired many to make a final exodus from the city, leaving an amazing number of unoccupied parking spaces and empty café tables in my 'village'. I suppose I was slightly envious of those who could get away, but only until I thought of the horrendous traffic jams they would face when it was time to return!
What Jessi is facing in the first year of her professional career is the fact that there will be no more long vacations, those summer breaks in the academic calendar. However it seems that she is fully capable of making the most of weekends, enjoying the proximity of Berlin's many lakes and (if the pictures do not lie) having great fun with her posse!

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?
We're five guys from Krakow. We all come from different musical backgrounds but instead of creating blackened triphop punk downtempo ethno core we all sort met in the middle and created something which, in lack of better words, can be described as post metal.
2.So far you have released a demo, full length and have been a part of the split, can you tell us a little bit more about your musical sound?
Our sound has been evolving throughout the records you mentioned. We started with a combination of electronica, rock and post metal on the demo. Since then we have been shifting towards a darker sound by incorporating more metal and hardcore. We try to stay open and treat each music genre as a set of tools that can be used to create whatever sound is in our heads.
3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
War, human nature, our flaws and vices are the topics we oscillate around these days. Lyrics are usually quite abstract. We don't want to draw pictures or tell stories, instead we're just triggering our listeners with the lyrics, while leaving them enough space to create their own interpretations.
The cool thing is that even each of us in the band has their own interpretation of the lyrics. I find it hard to discuss lyrics, because they are usually written to express something that cannot be expressed any other way. Recently we've written the lyrics in Polish, while at the same time aimed to reach broader audience. Obviously not many people are going to understand them, but we feel the language adds to the general feel of the music, makes it harsh and a bit more confusing. I guess that reflects the lyrical themes as well.
4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Fleshworld'?
The name comes from my love for Twin Peaks. Fleshworld is the name of an adult swingers' magazine which is implicated in the main plot of the series. For me it symbolises an idea of tainted beauty, a combination of love, lust, drugs and death.
5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?
We played a couple of good shows and a few bad ones as well. There is no golden rule, sometimes a crowd of ten can make a show special and memorable. The best shows for me are the ones where we get to play for people that haven't heard us before and they like it. I like to surprise people.
It's always a great experience, I just enjoy playing in general. It's nice whenever we succeed making a connection with the audience despite our show being a very introspective act. Not with what we say between songs, but with getting immersed deep into the music, get into a kind of trance.
6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
We definitely want to travel and promote the split we've released. We're planning to go abroad and visit a few countries but until final arrangements are made I can't give you any more details. We're updating our band pages regularly so we're sure to get people informed as soon as the tour is set up.
7.In October there was a split album with you, Gazers and Viscera///, what are your thoughts on the other bands that have participated on the album?
We're very glad to be able to put our music next to bands like Gazers and Viscera///. I think that all the songs included on the split create a cohesive work of art and although each band has its own distinctive sound, there is a common element in all three of us. I love the atmosphere and energy of Gazers' music and the straightforward and raw sound of Viscera///. I feel like we complement each other on the split.
8.The split is going to be released on Unquiet Records, can you tell us a little bit more about this label?
I've founded the label on whim about a year ago and since that time I feel it has developed into a significant passion of mine, or a challenge of sorts. Of course, there's still a long way to go for me to be satisfied, but it's getting better. It's always been a one-man enterprise, and there's never been anyone to teach me most of the difficulties of running a label. The roster is getting more cohesive and consistent with every release, aiming to put out music that's dark, strange, imaginative and a bit unsettling. I also like my releases to be original in terms of the visual aspect, with a lot of handmade elements but calling it entirely DIY may be a slight overstatement. Unquiet Records is improving constantly, which will be evident pretty soon.
9.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of post metal?
We don't get much recognition worldwide. We're trying to push our music to different audiences in different countries but it's a slow process, especially when you take the DIY route and don't have a big label to back you up. Whenever we reach international audience the response is usually positive which, of course, makes our hearts grow.
10.When can we expect another full length album and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
We want to take some time with this one but the creative process has already started. Right now we're sketching some ideas but I already know the next full length is going to be another step in the evolution of our music. As I said before, we continually dig deeper into darker sounds and genres but we don't want the heavy to outbalance the mellow and melodic. I guess that in terms of sound, the next record will be a constant struggle for supremacy between those two elements.
11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
I always looked up to the best in the genre, so Cult of Luna, ISIS, Neurosis, Red Sparrows are definitely on my top list. Recently I've been listening to a lot of blackened hardcore, which has been gaining momentum for the last few years. I'm also looking forward to the new Godflesh record because J.K. Broadrick's music has been a huge inspiration for me.
I always have difficulties answering this question, and always tend to forget what I like the most… well, aside of the obvious post-metal influences (Neurosis, Isis, Cult of Luna, Minsk), I've always been into bands like Secret Chiefs 3, Fantomas, etc. I'm also a huge fan of Dead Skeletons, Goat or Woven Hand, Kehlvin, or OM but the bands that inspire me the most nowadays are Oranssi Pazuzu and Deathspell Omega. Probably many, many more, but I'm drawing a blank J
12.What are some of your non musical interests?
I personally like good food, cars and weed. In any order.
Yeah, definitely food, but also games and traveling.
13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Looking at the state of music A.D 2014 we all should be grateful that the underground scene still exists. Being able to create and listen to music which is unrestrained by marketing figures and sales plans is the best thing in the world and we should all support it and keep it alive for as long as possible.

Actors Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, and Michael Gambon were interviewed next, and spoke about their impressions of the park, as well as the production on the films ending. On the subject of the "Deathly Hallows" film wrapping, Mr. Radcliffe commented on a short film put together by the crew of the film, showing the last sixteen months of production. His response to this film: "I don't think there is any shame in saying we all cried like babies." Other highlights:
- Rupert is most excited about the Pub, while Dan is a fan of the frozen Butterbeer, Rock Cakes, and Treacle Fudge.
- Michael Gambon jokes he does not abide by the safety rules his character gives during the ride.
- Gambon was scared of the Dueling Dragons ride. Knew it was a mistake as soon as he got on.
- Felton and Radcliffe will return to the park if they ever feel homesick for Leavesden Studios.
Next, actors Bonnie Wright, Matt Lewis, Warwick Davis, and James and Oliver Phelps took the stage to give their impressions on the park, as well as talk a bit about wrapping the Harry Potter films. Highlights:
- Bonnie Wright is happy they can "give a park to the fans… to experience what we've had is amazing."
- Warwick Davis sums the park up in three words: "This is magic."
- James Phelps feels it is surreal you can say "I'll meet you in the Three Broomsticks for a drink."
- Bonnie Wright and James Phelps comment that, unlike on set, you can take things home from here.
- Cast has raided the shops at Wizarding World. Warwick Davis' hotel room looks like Ollivanders. Matt Lewis wants the Gryffindor Sword.
- Matt Lewis believes the States, without its castles, is the right place for the HP theme park.
- Warwick Davis says finishing Potter films felt like no other film he's done before. It was very emotional.

CAIRO – 5 November 2018: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) announced Monday that the country's foreign reserves increased by $40 million to reach $44.501 billion at the end of October.
This increase comes in a line of increases that comes as a result of the $12 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Egyptian government reached October 31, an agreement to give Egypt the fifth $2-billion settlement. After receiving the $2 billion, Egypt will have now received $10 billion.
This is the fifth out of six instalments that are part of the $12-billion loan agreement that was approved by the IMF executive board in November 2016.
The agreement came after the IMF staff team reviewed Egypt's economic reform program for the fourth time during their visit from October 18 to 31.
"The staff-level agreement is subject to approval by the IMF's Executive Board," IMF's statement revealed.
The statement reviewed the results of the economic reforms in Egypt, concluding, "The Egyptian economy has continued to perform well, despite less favorable global conditions, supported by the authorities' strong implementation of the reform program. GDP growth accelerated from 4.2 percent in 2016/17 to 5.3 percent in 2017/18 while unemployment declined to below 10 percent. Meanwhile, the current account deficit narrowed to 2.4 percent of GDP in 2017/18 from 5.6 percent the year before, primarily driven by strong remittances and a recovery in tourism. Gross general government debt declined from 103 percent of GDP in 2016/17 to about 93 percent of GDP in 2017/18, supported by fiscal consolidation and higher growth."
Furthermore, the statement explained, "The Central Bank of Egypt's (CBE) prudent monetary policy helped bring down annual inflation from 33% in July 2017 to 11.4% in May 2018. However, inflation increased again to about 16% in September 2018, reflecting the pass-through from energy price increases in June and a stronger than expected increase in volatile food prices in September."
IMF added that CBE targets to reduce inflation to single digit in the medium term, "Egypt's fiscal policy in 2018/19 and beyond will continue to aim at keeping general government debt on a clearly declining path and achieving a primary surplus of 2 percent of GDP. The government also remains committed to continuing energy subsidy reforms and raising revenues which will help create fiscal savings to invest in a well targeted social safety net, human development including health and education, and infrastructure."
It also referred to the external financial conditions for emerging markets which make CBE committed to a flexible exchange rate policy that will help enhance competitiveness, protect Egypt's foreign reserves, and cushion against external shocks. Egypt's banking system remains liquid, profitable, and well capitalized.
The state explained that Egypt needs to continue its energy reforms and raise revenues to create fiscal savings to invest in a well-targeted social safety net and human development strategies.
"To improve fiscal transparency and public access to information, the authorities have continued to expand the data disseminated on the budget process and execution throughout the year," it added.
IMF welcomed the authorities' comprehensive efforts to improve the living standards of the most vulnerable.
It noted that that efforts like Takafol and Karama, which has expanded to cover around 10 million individuals, and such programs are vital for micro-financing, and youth and women empowerment.
"We welcome the authorities' comprehensive efforts to improve the living standards of the most vulnerable. These efforts include: Takafol and Karama, which has expanded to cover around 10 million individuals; Forsa, which has created job opportunities for graduates of the Takafol program; and, Mastoura, which provides microfinancing to women for sustainable income generation. These programs are being complemented with the Sakan Karim program to provide clean drinking water and sanitation to rural areas. Moreover, a social package consisting of an additional increase in the salaries of public servants, an increase in pensions, and a progressive increase in tax credits has been implemented."
"The government continues to make efforts to implement reforms that aim to help the private sector invest and create the jobs needed to achieve more inclusive and sustainable growth for Egypt's young and growing population. These reforms include: improving access to industrial land; promoting competition; improving transparency and accountability of state owned enterprises; and fighting corruption," the statement read.
Finally, the team thanked Egyptian authorities and the technical team in the CBE and finance ministry, as well as others, for their hospitality.

Who says Bush and Cheney are mean?
They're really nice to some people.
They're really nice to some people.
Glad they took it easy on poor ol' Chevron. Aw shucks, this must be what they meant by 'Compassionate Conservative'.
If our country bothered to collect all taxes it is owed, and close the most blatent loopholes, we could be on our way to a balanced budget. Of course, we'd also have to put the brakes on Bush/Cheney's pork, er, privatization fever.
You mean W and Deadeye Dick bent over for the oil companies?
I hear a hankie in W's left rear pocket means he takes.
I hear a hankie in Deadeye Dick's right rear pocket means he gives.
I hear hankies in both pockets mean "do what you want, but clean up after yourself."
Thanks to RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman for the gay slang. You hot boy!
Windfall profits tax should be imposed and used to fund retrofits at refineries. Cheaper and more effective than New Source Review litigation or waiting for the oil companies to be forced to do it by corporate Congress.

Ref http://iamback.com/blog/ Works pretty well with JAWS... but: - the default option for JAWS is to read screen text for links and not title. So only when I realized that the << and >> links before and after current month's calender had title set on them, I switched to title reading and then it announced Sept and Nov because current month was Oct. And before I thought about titles, I just clicked on the links and discovered that they take me to previous and next month. One alternative is to have an image link. The image can be of << and >> signs and the alt can be previous month and next month respectively. Then titles are not needed. - While reading down a column JAWS reads headers ok. But only for col#2 i.e. Tuesday, it reads the dates in first column as row header. So it reads 11 as row header for 12 and 18 as row header for 19. In other columns I did not face this problem. In all it is very good.

Session on college planned at Park
State Sen. Katie Sieben, State Rep. Karla Bigham, and guidance counselor Dan Powers are hosting an informal forum, "Saturday Conversations with Minnesota Colleges," inviting higher education institutions (University of Minnesota System, Minnesota State Colleges & Universities and the Minnesota Private College Council) to Park High School in Cottage Grove to talk about education options in Minnesota.
The purpose of this event is to give students and their parents an opportunity to hear about potential higher education institutions and program options in Minnesota. Each institution will make 20-minute presentations and representatives will be available for a question and answer session at the end. This is not a promotional talk -- it's an informational session that prospective students and their families are encouraged to attend.
Saturday Conversations with Minnesota Colleges will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, March 7 in the Park High School Cafeteria, 8040 80th Street South, Cottage Grove.
If there are any questions, Powers can be contacted at (651) 768-3723 and Bigham can be contacted at (651) 296-4342 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Good morning!
How's your Monday? The day's moving by like molasses over here at the library, but the better to tell you about vintage stuff with, my dears. :) This weekend, I was looking at a local vintage shop's instagram when the following picture made my heart skip a little beat. Have you ever! Seen so beautiful! A lamp in your whole life! You may have, but I know I have not:
|Savant Vintage...I'm coming for you. And this lamp. I hope it's not $1,000,000
UHHHM! What a sight for sore eyes! The color and the texture and the ordinary-turned-extraordinary of this marbles-and-Popsicle-sticks craft confection is making me want to throw caution to the wind and install it in my office, toute de suite. What are we looking at though, folks? I know from my obsessive thumbing through titles like Outsider Art and The Complete Book of Retro Crafts that this lamp has its roots in a collectibles genre called "tramp art". I immediately call to mind David Carradine in either Bound for Glory or Boxcar Bertha, a poetic rambler riding the rails, living outside of society, and taking time to whittle a cigar box here and there. In case I was wrong, I decided to look through the internet for more concrete examples and explanations of the the delightful art pieces.
From a website appropriately named Trampart.com:
What is Tramp Art?Tramp art is an art movement found throughout the world where small pieces of wood, primarily from discarded cigar boxes and shipping crates, are whittled into layers of geometric patterns having the outside edges of each layer notch carved. The artists used simple tools such as a pocketknife to carve the recycled wood. It was popular in the years between the 1870s to the 1940s after which the art form started to decline. It was made in prodigious numbers. The most common forms were the box and the frame. Although there were no rules or patterns to lend commonality in the artists' work there were objects made in every conceivable shape and size including full sized furniture and objects of whimsy.
So you don't actually have to be Oklahoma Red/Wallace Beery in Beggars of Life to make tramp art, but because of the easily obtained, discarded materials, it would be feasible that you could make this kind of stuff whatever your station in life. One of my chief gripes about modern day crafting is how much money you often have to lay out to get started in jewelry/felting/needlepoint/whatever. This stuff, if you have a pocket knife, a piece of an orange crate, and some artistic vision, you can make some pretty amazing stuff.
Check out what I was able to find online (ebay, Etsy wise, anyway). You'd better believe I'll be looking for similar pieces out in the wild:
Check out what I was able to find online (ebay, Etsy wise, anyway). You'd better believe I'll be looking for similar pieces out in the wild:
|Folk Tramp Art Cigar Band Glass Bowl
I love how packaging in the first half of the 20th century was just better. These are made from cigar bands, and you'd only have to smoke about 66 stogies to get a high quality piece of collage art like the piece above (for Al Swearingen, that's like half a day's worth of puffing). Another piece of tobaccoania this non-smoker is into are those tobacco silk quilts and filmland tobacco cards-- again, you're lucky if you can get a coupon towards future merchandise, much less beautiful, printed pieces of silk or cards of your favorite movie stars along with purchased item these days. Still, for pure, horror vacui loveliness, I am really into this bowl.
|1930's Tramp Art Hand Mirror, Nice wood tramp art mirror.
Doesn't this hand mirror look like something they'd have at World Market right now? The woodburning process is also termed in some of these listings as "pyrography", which may sound like a mid 90's alternative cd, but is actually just any kind of wood decoration through controlled burning.
|Antique tramp art crucifix with hanging metal Christ suspended on carved wooden cross with emblems
I'm not much for collecting religious iconography, but this crucifix is beautiful.
|1930s Vintage Tramp Art Pyrography Dresser Top Lamp, Primitive Folk Art Red Fringe Wood Lamp
Now we're talking! I just love looking at each of these and thinking of someone's grandfather being like, "You want a what! I can make you one of those! Gimme some time, I'll make you one up in the garage", and setting to the task of diligently creating whatever kind of decorative art the fairer sex saw as necessary for setting up housekeeping. "You wanted a lamp, here's you a lamp!" See how it comes complete with little drawers for keeping knickknacks in and built in picture frames?
|Bottle Cap Lady Tramp Art Carmen Miranda Style
Now, this bottle cap lady I actually remember from the Retro Crafts book. However, if you can get a couple hundred thousand more bottle caps, you can dream big and think outside the house in terms of what to do with these discarded pop tops, à la this Russian woman and her bottle cap house. You heard me. HOUSE. It's amazing, too. How about this snaky basket made out of bottle caps? Start drinking now!
|American TRAMP Folk ART Hand Made Bottle CAP Basket
|Vintage Folk Art Cigarette Wrapper Purse
More cigar band decoupaging. I'm telling you, I need one of these things in my life:
I was particularly attracted to this heart shaped wooden shield with the name "Carmela" carved into it. I see so many things like this where someone's tried to make something look old and hand hewn like this, and it's a night and day difference between the imitated and the imitator.
AAAH! ANOTHER MARBLE LAMP! Maybe there's hope for me yet!!
|Decoupage CIGAR BAND LABEL Tray Tobacco Tramp Folk Art
|Vintage Folk Tramp Art Popsicle Sticks Marbles Table Lamp
There were lots, and lots, and LOTS of boxes, as you could imagine, but this one was the prettiest to me (and has one of the most intense price tags..YEEKS, people). I love how the texture of the wood plays of the shape of the box and the little velvet and brass inlays.
|Exquisite Tramp Art Ornately Decorated Box
This is probably something more like I could actually make, minus the lettering. Doesn't it make you want to scrabble through your junk drawer at home and just paint everything gilt? I know I have geometrical whatnots every which way but loose in my house...now, to formulate them into a plan...
|San Francisco Exposition 1915-Folk Art -Tramp Art
|Antique American TRAMP Art Wood BOX
And last but not least, this just may be some folk art, but I loved the display of it on black velvet, with a red velvet matte, with the gold frame. So turn of the century and so ornate and so something I need to have in my house. Now, the same thing, but with the rosettes in the shape of a bird or a tiger or a human face. Let's get on this!
|Victorian Antique Paper Tramp Art Cross Folk Art Naïve Flower Frame
You can see more examples of tramp art here, and here, but the one I really want to see is that marble lamp in next to my computer at home. The lovely glow it would give off! How happy I would be!
How about you? Have you had your interest piqued by any collectibles lately? Which of these tramp art pieces are your favorite? Have any hand-hewn heirlooms in your family or in your personal collection? Tell me all about it!
That's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more vintage tips and quips. Have a great Monday! See you then!

A payroll tax cut sounds good and I suppose it is good for families in the short term, but it defunds social security.
I favor tax cuts (or a simplified tax code, at least) and a serious overhaul of social security, but supporting a tax cut that defunds social security while showing commercials of the other side pushing granny off the cliff is a little disingenuous, don't you think?

Saturday 28th May 2011 finds Terry Cryer in conversation with William Ellis at the Southport International Jazz festival. Presented by RedHouse Originals and SCF Hub Gallery in association with Look 11. Two of the UK's most successful and prolific music photographers collide in their shared experience at Southport International Jazz Festival Gallery for 2011. Terry Cryer has a way with a camera like no-one else; timeless, intuitive, effortless, iconic and alluring. His images and unique printing techniques tell stories that words could never define. Cryer's stunning portraits of the great jazz and blues musicians of the 1950s capture the essence of the time and create a compelling insight into the key figures in this revolutionary movement. Cryer's 1958 portrait of Muddy Waters is featured on the Mississippi Blues Trail to mark the legendary musician's cabin at the Delta while Sammy Davis Jnr was so enamoured with Cryer's photograph, taken in a Londonnightclub in 1960, that he would go onto use it as his publicity shot throughout the 1960s. Cryer's photographs are held in distinguished international collections including the Henry Ransom Center at the University of Texas and collectors and admirers of his work include Sir Paul McCartney and Jools Holland. Terry Cryer kindly took the time to speak to WinkBall about his amazing career behind the lens. Have a listen to this great icon of photography and let us know your thoughts, here at WinkBall.com

A village near the coast of Sumatra lays in ruin after the Tsunami that struck South East Asia. Image: Wikipedia Devastating tsunamis could be halted before hitting the Earth's shoreline by firing deep-ocean sound waves at the oncoming mass of water, new research has proposed. Dr Usama Kadri, from Cardiff University's School of Mathematics, believes that lives could ultimately be saved by using acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs) against tsunamis that are triggered by earthquakes, landslides and other violent geological events. AGWs are naturally occurring sounds waves that move through the deep ocean at the speed of sound and can travel thousands of metres below the surface.

However, our favorites are when Walsh being called on his stupidity and he and his little buddy Max Hynes act tough and threatening.... over the Internet:
As fun as that was, the best exchange is the one that follows. Really it has it all: shitty tattoos, threats, horrible spelling, incomprehensible leaps in logic, taking credit for the accomplishment of people better than you, and pseudo-social/historical analysis:
|Yes, because Googling something makes it true. BTW,
we did do a little write-up some years back on this topic.
|Ehem... might we introduce you to the Sumerians?
|Again, what's this "we" shit Max?
|"I'm going to prove I'm not brainwashed by repeating
an old, racist, mantra that doesn't require any
deep though! That will show him!"
|This, ladies and gentlemen, is the extent of SOS
socio-cultural analysis. We think Walsh should
apply for a grant.
That's the sort of impulse control that we've come to know and love from the SOS.
Now, as much fun as Walsh is, we think that we have someone who surpasses him:
Stay tuned and trust us when we tell you it will be worth the wait.

|LC at US Weekly Hot Hollywood party 2011
Anywho, I was determined to get a lace skater skirt and have managed to find one extremely similar! I unlike LC can't walk for my life in a pair of heels so a comfy pair of pumps it is!
Those of you who know me will know I adore Lauren Conrad. She came across extremely well in her reality tv series and the fact she left the show to TRY and have a more peaceful life makes me love her more. Her style has always been a hit in my eyes and I haven't seen an outfit on the lady which shows any flaws! Not only is she beautiful she's got the brains too! I've read her series of books and they are worth the purchase if you were obsessed with The Hills...
She's has given us the best quotes and words of wisdom EVER and throughout her TV series she went through normal girl drama with normal girl feelings! You can tell she is not after fame, fame, fame like some of my other celeb idols ahem*Kim K*ahem. It would be impossible for me to choose just one favourite quote so, here are a few of my favourites... (This was really hard, if you like what you read you need to get some more of her quotes in your life!)
Anyway I love you LC!! p.s Happy Belated Birthday! (I know she won't read this, but cut a girl some slack!)
What do you think, a good style steal? Who's that celeb you just can't get enough of?

In the 20th Century, making the news was almost entirely the province of journalists; the people we covered, or ?newsmakers?; and the legions of public-relations and marketing people who manipulated everyone. The economics of publishing and broadcasting created large, arrogant institutions — call it Big Media, though even small-town newspapers and broadcasters exhibit some of the phenomenon's worst symptoms.
Big Media, in any event, treated the news as a lecture. We told you what the news was. You bought it, or you didn't. You might write us a letter; we might print it. (If we were television and you complained, we ignored you entirely unless the complaint arrived on a libel lawyer's letterhead.) Or you cancelled your subscription or stopped watching our shows. It was a world that bred complacency and arrogance on our part. It was a gravy train while it lasted, but it was unsustainable.
Tomorrow's news reporting and production will be more of a
conversation, or a seminar. The lines will blur between producers and consumers, changing the role of both in ways we're only beginning to grasp now. —Dan Gillmor
—Making the News: Book Introduction (Draft) (eJournal)
Gillmor has posted part of his forthcoming book, and is inviting comment. Today's a heavy grading & teaching day for me, and I've already got a backlog… maybe I'll come back to this later.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The judge who sent Lindsay Lohan to jail has removed herself from the troubled young actress's drunken driving probation proceedings, following complaints she had improper conversations about the case.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel "was having calls and discussions with people on the case and we were not present," said Jane Robison of the Los Angeles District Attorney's office.
Robison said on Wednesday that Lohan's case will now be overseen by Judge Elden Fox, although there are no new court hearings.
Lohan, 24, is currently in a 90-day drug and alcohol rehabilitation program at the University of California, Los Angeles after having served 13 days behind bars for violating her probation in a pair of drunken driving cases.
Among the improper contacts Revel had with people in the case were discussions over where Lohan would attend rehab.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine
exerts a deadly impact on the Middle East and across the globe. Attempts to resolve this schism have proved ineffective and the conflict has only intensified. The world has moved increasingly toward deep resignation. Something entirely new is called for!
What is the source of the conflict between Palestine and Israel – really?
What is missing that, if provided, could powerfully alter the status quo?
What is possible for Israel and Palestine – the whole world – when the conflict is over?
Consider what could be possible by engaging in these questions without fixing the conflict – others are working hard in this realm and for the most part unsuccessfully. One key could be to transform the source of the conflict.
To learn more about The Israel Palestine Project, read What is TIPP? and Our Story
Facing the facts: Why "fixing" won't work
To understand why transformation, not change, is the path forward, we must first be grounded in present reality. The relentless colonizing of the West Bank by Israel and the often violent subjection of the Palestinian people is systemic and not affected by demonstrations and appeals for redress, except in minor and temporary cases. Meaningful change, including the end of the Occupation, is not possible under the aligned and relentless impacts of Israeli military administration, military and civilian courts, the Israeli army, border police and civilian police, government bureaucracies and ministries, and the majority of the Israeli media that support the Occupation and related policies. Under these conditions, answers to the questions above are found not in the realm of change but in the realm of transformation.
Knowledge is power. To engage with current events in Palestine and Israel, visit TIPP's Blog and join the conversations on TIPP's Facebook and LinkedIn pages
Transformation, rather than change
So, what is the source of the conflict? TIPP agrees with the assertions of key leaders in both Israel and Palestine that the source of the conflict lies in mutually-contradictory national histories which have developed over time, promoting ideologies that profoundly influence the actions taken by both sides. What's called for, a common story that would powerfully alter the status quo, has never been accomplished - until now!
Through an international collaboration, TIPP has now completed A Common Historical Narrative, the first-ever common historical narrative of the last 130 years in Israel and Palestine. After over a decade of intense work among authors and historians, the narrative manuscript has been accepted for publication in English, Arabic and Hebrew, and the process of publication is now underway.
Read excerpts from A Common Historical Narrative, a labor of love by an international team
Creating a new context
A Common Historical Narrative sets the stage for the possibility of transformational work "on the ground" in Israel and Palestine. Here, TIPP's focus can shift to programs (currently being designed) to be conducted throughout Palestine and Israel, in which participants will have the authentic experience of freeing themselves from the clutches of a limiting past enshrined in the separate narratives that divide both peoples. By engaging with A Common Historical Narrative in a process that profoundly listens, reveals commonality, and engenders acceptance, participants will undergo a profound shift in perspective, within which new possibilities can be created.
This "completion of the past" by Palestinian and Israeli participants can transform the conflict at its source, creating a vast opening, a new context, making possible the emergence of powerful, charismatic leaders. This process, as demonstrated by The Israel Palestine Project, could become a model pathway for the resolution of inter-generational and intransigent conflicts anywhere in the world.

Jack Berriault
1930 - 2016
On August 24, 2016, Jack Berriault, TIPP's Founder and Executive Director, passed away.

Global economy: Low growth, but not stagnationSince the end of the Global Financial Crisis, economic growth has fallen short of historical averages and consistently disappointed policymakers. Deflationary shocks have continued to roil the markets, and much of the world's bond market offers negative yields. Some still believe the world is headed for Japanese-style secular stagnation. And yet the modest global recovery—at times frustratingly weak—has endured, proving the most ardent pessimists wrong.
With forecasters having downgraded global growth outlooks for at least five consecutive years, we believe that the risks to consensus outlook of 3% are more balanced this year. We continue to anticipate "sustained fragility" for global trade and manufacturing, given China's ongoing rebalancing and the need for structural business-model adjustments across emerging-market economies. We do not anticipate a Chinese hard landing in 2017, but we are more bearish than consensus on China's medium-run growth prospects.
Our growth outlook for developed markets remains modest but steady. Increasingly sound economic fundamentals supported by U.S. and European policy should help offset weakness in the United Kingdom and Japan. For the United States, 3% GDP growth is possible in 2017, even as job growth cools. Our long-held estimate of 2% U.S. trend growth is neither "new" nor "subpar" when accounting for lower population growth and exclusion of the consumer-debt-fueled boost to growth between 1980 and the Global Financial Crisis.
As we have previously written, many developed economies are likely to struggle to consistently achieve 2% core inflation over the medium term, given digital technology and excess commodity capacity in China and elsewhere. That said, some of the most pernicious deflationary forces are cyclically moderating. U.S. core inflation should modestly "overshoot" 2% in 2017, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise rates. U.K. inflation is also set to overshoot following the post-Brexit depreciation of sterling. By contrast, euro area inflation will only return to target levels gradually.
Inflation: Global disinflationary forces waning for now
The U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to pursue a dovish tightening, raising rates to 1.5% in 2017 while leaving the federal funds rate below 2% through at least 2018. Elsewhere, further monetary stimulus seems possible, but its benefits may be waning and, in the case of negative interest rates, potentially harmful to the very same credit-transmission channel that monetary policy attempts to stimulate. Even so, the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of Japan (BoJ) could yet add to the quantitative easing implemented in 2016.
Monetary policy and interest rates: Central banks grapple with their limits
Chinese policymakers have arguably the most difficult task of engineering a "soft landing" by lowering real borrowing costs and the real exchange rate without accelerating capital outflows. The margin of error is fairly slim, and policymakers should continue to provide fiscal stimulus to the economy this year to avert a hard landing. The most important policy measure we are monitoring is the pace of reforms for China's state-owned enterprises, which are currently key sources of over-investment and deflationary excess capacity.
Vanguard's outlook for global stocks and bonds remains the most guarded in ten years, given fairly high equity valuations and the low-interest-rate environment. We continue to believe that global bond yields will not increase materially from year-end 2016 levels.
Investment outlook: Muted, but positive given low-rate reality
Bonds. The return outlook for fixed income remains positive yet muted. In line with our past outlooks, our long-term estimate of the equilibrium federal funds rate remains anchored near 2.5%, slightly below that of the Fed's "dot plots."1 As a result, our "fair value" estimate for the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield still resides within the 2%–2.25% range, even with two to three near-term increases in the policy rate. As we stated in 2015, even in a rising-rate environment, duration tilts are not without risks, given global inflation dynamics and our expectations for monetary policy. Recent low volatility and compressed corporate bond spreads point to credit risks outweighing those of duration.
Stocks. After several years of suggesting that low economic growth need not equate with poor equity returns, our medium-run outlook for global equities remains guarded in the 5%–7% range. That said, our long-term outlook is not bearish and can even be viewed as a positive when adjusted for the low-rate environment.
Asset allocation. Vanguard's outlook for portfolio returns is modest across all asset allocations when compared with the heady returns experienced since the depths of the Global Financial Crisis. This guarded but not bearish outlook is unlikely to change until we see a combination of higher short-term rates and more favorable valuation metrics. In some ways, the investment environment for the next five years may prove more challenging than the previous five, underscoring the need for discipline, reasonable return expectations, and low-cost strategies.
1"Dot plots" are charts published by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in the Fed's Summary of Economic Projections, showing points where FOMC participants, who are kept anonymous, believe the federal funds rate should be over the next few years, in the absence of economic shocks.
All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.
Investments in bonds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.
Investments in stocks or bonds issued by non-U.S. companies are subject to risks including country/regional risk and currency risk. These risks are especially high in emerging markets.
There is no guarantee that any particular asset allocation or mix of funds will meet your investment objectives or provide you with a given level of income.

About SRCT
The Spa & Wellness Association of Singapore represents stakeholders from all sectors of the Wellness Industry including entities in the Beauty, Hair, Nail, Massage, Slimming, Spa, Fitness and complementary health care business.
The Wellness Industry has faced many challenges over the last few years including escalating costs, slowing economy and keen competition. One of the key issue is the unclear definition of therapists where the untrained and novice can also claim to be equal to those of us who are professionally competent, well trained and have many years of experience as a practitioner. Incompetent therapists not only undercut our business, but they also bring a bad reputation to the Industry as a whole.
The SWAS Registry of Complementary Therapists (SRCT) is designed to segregate those who are Professionally Competent, in terms of qualifications, knowledge, skills and experience from those who are not yet competent. SRCT promotes professionalism and responsibilities therefore encourages Consumers to seek the services of Professionally Competent Therapists. SWAS opens the application for all practitioners to join as a Pro Tem member.
About Complementary Therapy
The definition of Complementary Therapies (or sometimes known as alternative health treatments) are treatments that may be used alongside standard medical care (mainstream Western medicine) and other methods to enhance wellness. Complementary Therapy do not fit into the mainstream Western Medicine or Health Care. Some examples are: Massage, Yoga, Meditation, Herbal and Aromatherapy etc. Most complementary therapists enhance well-being with a holistic approach which may include physical, mental, spiritual and dietary practices.
How Complementary Therapy works
Most modalities in Complementary Treatments work towards reducing stress and tension, improving the immune system, promoting circulation, eliminating wastes and toxins, alleviating aches and pain, generally enhancing fitness and well-being.
The Wellness Industry
The term Wellness is generally used to describe a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. The World Health Organization defines Wellness as " … a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
The Wellness Industry may therefore cover all business entities and stakeholders that embrace a product, service, method or process to promote the awareness, practice, development or enhancement of a healthy and fulfilling life.
Professional Ethics, Performance and Code of Conduct (PEPCC)
SRCT registrants are committed to observe Professional etiquette, good business practices and customer care.
- SRCT registrants hold valid professional qualifications or certification of competency in a recognized field of practice accredited by a National or Industry Qualification and Certification body.
- Validated work experience practicing the skills of a specific modality of treatment under a recognized field of practice.

The revolutionary NEXO 45°N-12 wedge monitor brings all the benefits of line-array technology to the stage.
|Product Code
Buy this from the A.C. Audio Online Store. Request more information or contact us now for purchasing information.
Unlike a conventional high frequency waveguide in which the exit is rectangular, the NEXO's waveguide forms a 'smile' enabling cabinets to be linked together to form arrays with no interference between wavefronts. Now there's a single monitor reference covering the needs of all musicians, scalable for wider coverage and higher SPLs.
The 45°N Series very high headroom before feedback, and focusses coverage only where it's needed, resulting in lower acoustic power on stage. SPL and frequency response is consistent up to 2.5 metres back.
An ingenious magnetic locking system joins multiple monitors together to form arrays. The compact, low profile design is less conspicuous than conventional monitors (ideal for live TV production), and the 45N-12 features a non-slip base with a skid system and ergonomic handle for easy repositioning on stage.
System Applications
- Touring or fixed live sound applications
- Live television production
- Single monitor reference covering the needs of all musicians

Faith Methodist Church is a church of small groups! Small groups are the key to experiencing life in the church. A small group is more than a Bible study or fellowship group; it is the primary place of care and ministry, where group members experience community and love, build up one another, and are equipped to serve others. It is a community where we are accountable, transparent and open with each other.
The Five Purposes of F.A.I.T.H
We are a community of small groups, with every member connected in soul-to-soul relationships in a small group. This loving atmosphere of forgiveness and acceptance so permeates the church that members are always meeting needs where they find them, and healing hurts where they see them.
Together with the small groups we belong to, we gather weekly for weekend Celebration Services to express our love for God with songs, prayers and giving as one congregation. We will also be a people engaged in unceasing prayer and gathered, in our small groups, in worship and praise regularly.
In our small groups, we serve fellow members and the community together with our God-given SHAPE (Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences).
Our small groups will be a community where life change and transformation take place. This will be done through the study of the Word, prayer for one another, accountability, authentic fellowship, serving together, reaching out together as a team, and more. As God works in each person through the small group, by His grace, we will grow to become more and more like Jesus.
The small group is also the place for developing Christ-like leaders of influence in the church and our world. These Christ-like leaders of influence would be people who are fully growing in the purposes of F.A.I.T.H, who in turn are a positive influence in our church, families, neighbourhoods, workplaces and schools, and even to the regions beyond.
Our small groups invest in relationships with people in our spheres of influence, the community and the regions beyond as a team so as to transform lives and change the world.
