Buckwheat Granola. Mmm mm.
You have to admit though…a lot of granola out there really isn't that great. It's either not tasty — or it can practically put you into diabetic-shock. So unnecessary. Especially if you're adding in some dried fruit, or even fresh fruit. The maple syrup in the recipe below is subtle, in flavour and sweetness — which is perfect…
I don't eat a lot of granola anymore. It's not as easy to digest as something like Overnight Oats or Muesli. But sometimes you just want the crunch. And it's also fun to ADD to Overnight Oats or Muesli.
I think it's fun to switch up the grain often. Buckwheat is hugely under-utilized, has a fun texture, and a nutty flavour. It's also considered a pseudo-seed grain, making it gluten-free AND easier on most digestive systems.
Check out the recipe below or make your own using buckwheat, coconut oil, and maple syrup as a base. (Sub in seeds for the nuts, if you want to send this in a kid-lunch.)
Serve this with milk, homemade coconut or nut milk, yogurt, or a combo.
Maple Buckwheat Granola
- 1 cup buckwheat groats (not kasha)
- 1 cup GLUTEN-FREE rolled oats OR 1 cup of buckwheat/quinoa combo (I sometimes use it – sometimes don't)
- 1/2 cup quinoa (OPTIONAL)
- 2/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2/3 cup pecans
- 2/3 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/3 cup walnuts or hazelnuts, chopped
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dried raisins, cranberries, goji berries or other dried fruit (or less – it sweetens the whole thing up)
- In a large bowl combine grains, seeds and coconut. Combine coconut oil and maple syrup.
- Stir into grain mixture, stirring well. Spread on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet as thin as you can go.
- Bake at a low temperature for about 1 1/2 hours, around 200 – 225 F, without stirring.
- Remove from oven and, WITHOUT STIRRING, let cool. Add dried fruit now.
- When cool, break apart into nice, yummy chunks and store in an air-tight container — like a mason jar. It'll last a while.

Recipe Box: Black Bean, Beef and Veggie Soup
Fall is my favorite time of the year! Well, let me be more specific: cold weather is my favorite time of the year! And with the changing of seasons comes plenty of comfort food cravings. This Beef, Black Bean and Veggie soup is thick, creamy, hearty and comes together in less than 30 minutes (you know, like when it's 6pm, everyone's hungry and the chicken is still frozen on the counter)!
Try this out - You could easily double the recipe to feed a crowd or even omit the beef to make it vegetarian. And the easiest part is that you probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry and freezer right now. So, pour yourself a glass of wine and let's make dinner together.
Beef, Black Bean and Veggie Soup
- 1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 1 lb 80/20 grass fed ground beef
- 3 cans black beans
- 1 qt chicken stock
- 1 tomato, diced
- 2 T tomato paste
- 1 (4oz) can diced green chili peppers
- 2 T Umami paste (you can get this at Trader Joe's)
- A splash of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
- 1 cup frozen veggie medley
- 1 tsp cumin
- Five Mary's Farm Spice Rub to taste
1. In a large soup pot, sweat the onion in EVOO.
2. In the same pot, brown the ground beef and season with plenty of M5 spice rub. Drain the fat.
3. In a food processor, add 2 cans of black beans (undrained) and blend until almost completely smooth. Add that mixture to the pot along with the 3rd can of whole black beans. Season with M5 spice rub.
4. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, chili peppers, cumin, ACV and Umami paste. Give it a good stir until the pastes dissolve.
5. Add the frozen veggies and allow them to heat through for a couple minutes.
6. Give it a taste for final seasoning and serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, plenty of chopped cilantro and squeeze of lime.
Give it a try and let me know how you liked it! Enjoy!

I then went on to complete a Masters degree in 'Educational Leadership and Innovation' in 2011. I have taught at 3 schools previously, with a vast amount of my experience being at GCSE and A- Level. In my previous school I held the position of 'Leading Edge coordinator' which allowed me to go and learn about education in other places, both UK and abroad. Being part of the school day in Sweden and Japan was just incredible. I love travelling and photography and as Head of Geography I want to share my passion with as many students as I can. One of the ways of doing this is being responsible for the school visit to The Gambia and other trips within the geography department."

Scar Reservouir
I have to say one of my favourite places to spend time, a beautiful part of the Yorkshire.The wonder of the natural world and the shear vastness of our local countryside is experienced at Scar Reservoir. Built in the 19th century it took 15 years to complete and supplies 21million gallons of water a day to Bradford. While being constructed, a whole village was built to house the workers. http://www.nidderdaleaonb.org.uk/

After attending a "Camereless Work Shop" with Cherry Kino @ ESA Patrick Studios http://www.cherrykino.blogspot.com/ I was really inspired by the process of manipulating film in unconventional ways such as leaving film in water, burying, exposing film with random objects on top (sugar, salt, lace etc). The cameras and cine film lend themselves to a real nostalgic feel and made me reflect on the past and times gone by. I dug out some old negatives on reels which I have started to work with. Unfortunately the medium is not as sensitive as cine film and is very difficult to manipulated with organic matter. Using stencils I scratched text into the reverse side of the negatives and used some crushed lime stone to soften the appearance (like sandpaper!) I think the result works well and conveys an aged and worn appearance. Slicing the negatives into strips and creating a 3D design produces some beautiful patterns when lit. Also machine stitched text onto negatives but not sure where I will be taking it all, if anywhere!

Breaking Up Of The Limestone
To move forward with the "Secret Life Of Objects Brief" I felt I had to explore the physicality of the lime stone and engage in it's actual make up. As limestone is made up of animal and plant life I was expecting a little more to look at when I broke it open. The different layers are visible but not that interesting. However the stone does have a sparkly quality which lends itself to aspects of "finding something precious" or appropriating "a precious childhood."
Because the stone physically represents the passing of time through it's layers of plant and animal forms it is an important aspect and as a material needs to be incorporated into my work.

Although a realy lengthy process in todays standards Typsetting was an enjoyable medium to work with. For me it was the physical aspect of making and the contact with the medium that generated a sense of satisfaction at producing a piece of work. I experienced a real sense of the past and the hard work which must have been endured to produce text before the advance of technology.

"Maidenhair" French Knitted Human Hair
Echo And Reverence @ St Mary Church York
I am very much drawn to the work of Susie MacMurray. She evokes a response of empathy and sensitivity through the use of materials which carry the remnants of humanity. (Hairnets, violin bow hair, human hair.) She reflects a space with a transient and ephemeral quality. The act of repetition and direct link to traditonal methods such as sewing and the historical reflection of her work are aspects that interest me.

My Childhood (1972) Bill Douglas
Autobiographical poetic, social realism film portraying a childhood in a deprived run down Edinburgh mining village.
Bill Douglas uses bare rooms and pared-down images to convey not the actual material appearance of his childhood surroundings, but what it felt like to be there. Very little dialogue within the film but the deeply moving images portrayed in the film play out the narrative with such sensitivity.(The scene above has Jamie, the main character, helping his Grandma to keep warm by placing her hands around a cup he has heated up with hot water. With only a slight tapping of his hands against his Grandmas an image of tenderness is portrayed amongst the deprivation and squalor.) It is this sensitivity that interests me and the way the non actors within the film portray a real and genuine narrative on screen

Light Night @ Leeds College Of Art "Past Times"
These two images were originally taken last year as research for the brief "Psycho Cities" My starting point was the sight of the old red bus station which for me held associations with times gone by. The bus station symbolized the journey from Harrogate and arrival in Leeds for a night of clubbing in my younger days!!
The images show the deterioration of the buildings around the site, the decay, corrosion and how nature pushes it's way through and takes over regardless. They are part of the Light Night exhibition at Leeds College Of Art.

Light Night Film
Using alternated images of the elements and children interacting with the limestone I produced this reflective short film.The ebb and flow of life's cycle, nostalgia and memory are key elements within the film as well as the act of play and exploration with the materials nature provides. The film will be situated in The Light in Leeds city centre along with other 2nd year Art & Design Interdisciplinary work for the Light Night exhibition and Art In Unusual Spaces.

5 Simple Ways I Incorporate Mindfulness Into My Daily Life/
Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. This awareness helps us recognise what is happening inside of us (body, mind, emotions) and around us in every moment.
When I first discovered mindfulness, I only practiced it on my yoga mat or meditation cushion. I would feel very peaceful while I meditated or practiced yoga, then as soon as I stepped out into the world I would feel anger and anxiety at the traffic and busy streets. I didn't know that there was another way to be in the world.
Sometime later during a day of mindfulness in Melbourne, I practiced mindful tea drinking for the first time. As a group we sat peacefully and enjoyed our tea in silence. As I sipped my tea, I had a big 'aha' moment. Tears streamed down my face as I realised that mindfulness is not just for the yoga mat or cushion, it is a way of life. My perception to my way of life forever changed that day. I experienced a breakthrough and they were tears of relief, relief that there is another way to live, a more peaceful and joyful way than I had been living all my adult life.
Over the last 4 years, as I've nourished my mindfulness energy, my practice has brought more peace and joy into all areas of my life. I know how to take better care of my anger and anxiety, my family relationships have improved, I find peace in my daily activities, and I have a deeper appreciation of nature and the people I love. I also now enjoy sharing this peaceful way of life with others.
In my mindfulness practice, I enjoy having a daily organic formal practice, which changes day to day and includes sitting meditation, mindful walking, yoga, Qi Gong and Tai Chi. I also enjoy practicing mindfulness informally by bringing it into my everyday activities. I find that my formal and informal practices nourish and support each other.
I'd like to share five simple ways I've been incorporating mindfulness into my daily life over the years.
1. Waking Up
The first thing I do when I wake up is breathe and smile. I feel grateful to wake up with a new day ahead. I often recite a gatha (poem/verse) from my mindfulness teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh:
Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand-new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully each moment
and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.
Reciting this gatha while I breathe and smile helps me let go of any anxiety I may feel about the day ahead. It brings me peace and calmness and I carry this peace with me as I sit up, place my feet on the floor, and take my first steps of the day.
2. Showering
As I step into the shower I practice smiling. My smile nourishes my gratitude for having fresh clean running water. My smile also helps me be present so I can enjoy the feeling of the warm or cool water on my skin. I step out of the shower feeling flower-fresh in body and mind.
3. Driving
My mindfulness teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, asked us "Why rush? Our final destination will only be the graveyard." This reminds me to go slowly in life and especially when I drive. I try to always stay at the speed limit and give myself lots of space between my car and the car in front of me. When I stop at the red light, I smile at my old habit energy of irritation and use the red light as my 'bell of mindfulness' to bring my mind home to my body with my breath. Speed humps used to annoy me but I recently added a new driving practice to enjoy them! I slow down the car to peacefully drive over them while at the same time slowing down my mind with deep and calm breaths.
3. Preparing and Eating Meals
I really enjoy preparing my meals at home with fresh, organic and wholesome ingredients. In the past I would rush through cooking and be irritated at how long it takes. Now with mindfulness, I enjoy each task. Smiling also helps. Sometimes I catch myself with my grumpy face, and then I smile with gratitude to have delicious fresh produce. I smile at the vegetables and reflect on the journey they have taken and the elements (rain, sun, earth, clouds), farmers etc.) that have nurtured them. Then when I sit down to eat, I take away any distractions (TV, phone, books, newspapers) and eat just to eat. Between each mouthful I place my fork down and focus only on the food in my mouth, chewing slowly and enjoying the waves of tastes and textures. Eating without any distractions makes the food become real and I appreciate and enjoy my meals immensely. I've noticed that I eat less now too.
5. Queuing Up
While I am waiting in a queue at the supermarket or the post office, I try to practice "non-waiting". I become aware of my habit of reaching for my phone to distract myself and leave my phone in my bag. Instead of checking my phone, I stand peacefully and enjoy my breath, being aware of what's happening inside me and around me. Then when it's my turn to be served, I am ready to offer my smile, peace and freshness to the cashier.
I'd love to hear about your informal mindfulness practices. How do you bring mindfulness into your everyday life?
A lotus to you, Buddhas to be,

The Grammar Question
"Did you know that some modern dictionaries are notoriously liberal and others notoriously conservative and that certain conservative dictionaries were actually conceived and designed as corrective responses to the 'corruption' and 'permissiveness' of certain liberal dictionaries?" (David Foster Wallace, "Authority and American Usage," Consider the Lobster. Back Bay Books, 2006. p. 67). Linguistic conservatives are formally known as Prescriptivists and linguistic liberals as Descriptivists. Prescriptivists subscribe to 'correct,' rule-bound usage, while Descriptivists argue that correctness rests upon usage, which is relative.
In the Writing Center, we are happy to focus on sentence-level issues during your consultation. We know that proofreading your own writing is a difficult task. How can you catch your own mistakes if you don't know where you've gone astray? Also, what is a "mistake," anyway? And according to whom? Usage debates aside, peer-consultants in the Writing Center want to help you write sentences that say what you mean in the way you want to say it. Above all, we want you to leave a consultation confident that you've expressed your idea in the most appropriate and effective way possible for the purpose and audience of your work.
If you bring in a paper and tell us that you want to work on grammar and mechanical issues, we'll read through the text alongside you (sometimes aloud) to identify any usage errors we encounter. Because it's unlikely that we'll be able to work through an entire paper over the course of only 45 minutes, we'll probably focus on a few paragraphs or a single page during a session aimed at sentence-level issues. Additionally, we may not identify nor correct all of the usage errors we encounter as it's best to focus on those issues that occur more than once in your text. This way, we'll address the most troubling and persistent issues first, and by isolating patterns, you'll learn to recognize them yourself much faster. During this sort of work, we may come upon a sentence that just doesn't sound right. It's possible we won't be able to quickly explain to you the underlying rule or concept that would allow you to revise. In these instances, we may together consult a writing handbook or draft some options for rewriting the sentence. In any case, you can expect us to ask you questions about your ideas that you want to get across so that we can discuss the various ways of restructuring a sentence to have different effects on your reader.

New Publication: Rapid timing of musical aesthetic judgments
Our paper entitled Rapid timing of musical aesthetic judgments was published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.
In this task, we used a gating paradigm to identify how quickly listeners could accurately judge whether or not they would ultimately like a piece of music. Across four experiments, we found that listeners can do this quite rapidly - within hundreds of milliseconds.
See the press release for this paper here, and you can find the paper itself on our Publications page.
The So Strangely podcast
Amy co-hosted the first episode of the So Strangely Podcast, out this week. The podcast is hosted by Finn Upham, PhD student in Music Technology at NYU. The name "So Strangely" is taken from the classic example of Diana Deutsch's Speech-to-Song Illusion, where the phrase "sometimes behaves so strangely" is repeated to a point where the speech becomes melodic.
Each week the podcast will feature a co-host who will discuss a recent paper in #musicscience. Finn and the co-host will interview the first author of that paper. This week, we discussed Psyche Loui's paper White matter correlates of musical anhedonia: Implications for evolution of music.

Executive Summary
The Mindful Workplace Alliance is dedicated to creating mindful workplace cultures by developing and connecting leaders of mindfulness programs in the workplace to share the best practices and build community.
If you are reading this, chances are that you believe there is a better way to work and you are interested in bringing mindfulness into your organization. As mindfulness gains mainstream popularity, many practitioners are asking how to bring the benefits they've experienced into the broader community of their workplace… and yet, there are very few examples.
Based on the experience of developing and implementing mindfulness programs at organizations like Google, LinkedIn, Cisco, and close to 20 other companies, we created this playbook to help others bring mindfulness into their organizations. We understand that this is likely not part of your day job, so we thank you and are here to support you on this journey.
Our goal is to provide you with a framework, pragmatic tools, and the best practices that reduce complexity and time. We understand organizations, their people, and their cultures are unique—and we have organized this playbook into three broad, sequential phases for implementation so you can take the guesswork out of embedding mindfulness in your organization. Feel free to pick and choose from this "menu of options." Some of you might have years of experience and others might be just developing your personal practice.
Regardless, this playbook seeks to meet everyone where they are. This is an evolving work in progress, and we continue to learn and share the best practices for the greater vision of workplaces that are flourishing financially while being a force for good.
Thank you for stepping up as a leader in your workplace and seeking solutions that will serve us all.

IT was meant to be a symbol of pride - but a tattered St George's flag has angered passers-by in Huddersfield.
Health chiefs thought they were doing the right thing when they hoisted the flag on an NHS- owned building opposite Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
But it got shabbier and more threadbare by the day.
Local councillor Tony Woodhead said: "It's gradually falling to pieces.
"Every time I pass it a bit more has gone. It's getting smaller and smaller."
The flag was hauled to the top of Acre Mills in Lindley in June during the World Cup.
It replaced an unofficial one which had been put up by patriotic employees without permission from their bosses.
Hospital managers said the home-made effort was "inappropriate" as it was neither the Union Flag nor the official England flag.
Health bosses agreed to take the replacement down yesterday after the complaints about its appearance.
A spokeswoman for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust agreed: "It does look tatty."
She could not say if another one would fly in its place.

An American diplomat adopts a newborn baby but a series of bizarre deaths and the warnings of a terrified priest lead him to believe that his son is the anti-Christ.
Subtlety has never been Richard Donner's strong suit and in his painfully hokey old school Gothic horror, over-egging is most definitely the order of the day. From the intrusive and clumsy soundtrack to the deeply unconvincing sets and poor makeup effects, The Omen is like a compilation of everything that went wrong with Hammer horror films. Gregory Peck's earnest hero is a dreary protagonist and the concept of his "saving the world" by murdering a five year old does not sit well at all. The film's few saving graces lie with the supporting cast; young Harvey Stephens' Damien is an undeniably creepy presence, Billie Whitelaw's nanny from Hell is entertainingly psychotic and both David Warner and Patrick Troughton provide all of the best moments including a couple of inventive deaths.
This is not enough to save the film however, which has dated very badly indeed. Old fashioned, overly melodramatic nonsense.

Shooting with Alex a few days ago was so much fun. We already wanted to take pictures together a couple of months ago, but now it finally worked out. It was a really spontaneous shooting, so we just met in her flat which is actually really photogenic and beautiful and had a great afternoon shooting together.
I hope you enjoy the results.

When asked about their expectations for 2012, only 18 per cent of Canadians anticipate their employer will invest in such programs. Furthermore, only 17 per cent of 1,542 Canadians surveyed believe employers will do more hiring, compared to 29 per cent for 2011. Similarly, lower employee expectations exist for investments by employers in new equipment (29 per cent versus 20 per cent this year). "A general sense of economic uncertainty may be reflected in employees' expectations for 2012 when compared to a more cautious optimism at the beginning of last year," said Cathy Pin, vice-president of BMO commercial banking. "Canadians likely expect that the current economic conditions will have a measurable impact this year on the investments companies are prepared to make in their workforce. However, this appears to be in contrast to what we are hearing from businesses and what we found in our survey of business owners in the late summer."Regionally, Albertans are the most likely to say their employer will be hiring more people in the coming year (32 per cent ) and are among the most likely to say employers will be purchasing new equipment (31 per cent).

The unemployment rate is expected to fall slightly to 7.2 per cent by the end of 2012," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO capital markets.© Copyright Canadian HR Reporter, HAB Press.

Delusional Thinking/
Author Paul Sweeney wrote "Self-delusion is pulling in your stomach when you step on the scales." A great visual example (someone should use that one in a commercial!).
Even when the subject is less fleshy, shall we say, human beings can succumb to delusional thinking.
For example, working with a recent grad, I was surprised when she emailed me a few job postings - of supervisory positions in environments in which she had not yet worked. That's delusional. You really must pay your dues and work your way up - yes, even with a degree.
At the other end of the spectrum I have clients who have many years' relevant experience, and hesitate to apply for an entry level management position, even though they absolutely have a chance! Rather than delusional, these folks don't give themselves enough credit! Once we've worked together to recreate their self-marketing documents, resume and cover letter, they are energized and cannot wait to launch their job search.

Crime - Sacto 911
Music booster arrested on suspicion of embezzling $44,000 set for Oak Ridge High School program
The treasurer of a high school music booster program was arrested on suspicion of embezzling funds totaling more than $44,000 for her own personal use, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's and District Attorney's offices.
Gloria Rodrigues of El Dorado Hills faces 15 charges of embezzlement and forgery after allegedly taking funds from the Oak Ridge High School Music Boosters program. Rodrigues will be arraigned Monday, said Assistant District Attorney Joe Alexander.
Funds from the boosters program, a nonprofit organization, help support students and staff who participate in Oak Ridge's music department, according to the Music Boosters website.
In late May, representatives from the organization convened a special board meeting to address inconsistencies in their financial records. They found "several suspicious financial transactions," said Sgt. Anthony Prencipe of the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
Board members contacted the district's school resource officer, who subsequently reached out to detectives from the Sheriff's Office.
On May 25, detectives obtained a search warrant and combed through Rodrigues' home, where there were "a lot of documents to go through," Prencipe said.
Last Thursday, more than two months after the initial search, officers arrested Rodrigues and booked her on suspicion of 40 crimes relating to forgery and embezzlement, Prencipe said.
Those 40 counts were given to representatives from the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office, who decided to file a complaint with 15 felony counts against Rodrigues, Alexander said.
The first is an embezzlement charge, which alleges that Rodrigues stole $44,036.63 from the Oak Ridge Music Boosters program.
The remaining 14 counts each represent an instance of forgery. Rodrigues allegedly forged Music Boosters board members' signatures on checks for her personal use 14 times between November 1, 2017 and February 25, 2018, Alexander said.
If convicted of all 15 charges, Rodrigues would face a maximum prison sentence of 12 years and 4 months, according to Alexander. Alexander also speculated that Rodrigues would be liable to pay back the Music Boosters in full, plus dole out additional fines.
All charges will be brought against Rodrigues next Monday morning, when she is scheduled to be arraigned, Alexander said.
Oak Ridge Music Boosters President Suzanne Campanello did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Being open to new processes is an important part of my studio practice. My professor (and one of my favorite people) , Steve Loucks, would constantly remind me, "Never let your process dictate your ideas." I try my best to consider every tool I have access to as I start a new project. Sometimes the tool is the potter's wheel, sometimes paper patterns, sometimes a clay extruder, but more often it's just my hands.
One of my favorite ways to work is to cut up and reassemble wheel-thrown parts. The combination of throwing and hand building is challenging and makes my imagination run wild. I make the parts one day and cut them up the next day (after they've had time to harden). The rest between those steps create a distance that allows me to see the project with new eyes. I am able to envision new solutions - a new interpretation of yesterday's idea. So much fun.

In Amsterdam live 180 different nationalities. That makes Amsterdam the ultimate melting pot. Besides showing portraits of representatives from these different countries the exhibitions tells the stories of 30 remarkable and extraordinary people that lived in Amsterdam but were born in other countries. These 30 people left their footprint in the daily live of the Amsterdam people. They created landmarks in the city. This exhibition in OBA (public library) shows us that foreign people bring value and colour into the city and our lives.

Who are you and who am I? Are we sharing our society and our culture? Should we embrace each other or should we protect ourselves against 'the other'? What do we fear? Are we capable to feel safe between peers or do we only feel safe as the conqueror, as the strongest? How do we take responsibility for the past? Am I white or black? Should I answer this question at all and what difference does it make anyway whether you're white or black?
How did the Dutch society develop after slavery was abolished in 1863? What is the influence that the integration of Surinamese and Antillean's has had on the Dutch society and how does it affect me? Many questions to think about, and that is exactly the goal of the "Black and White" exhibition in the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam. The exhibition ends at "the square", a stand where performances, films, debates and other activities are regularly organized.

Relax! No one said it was going to be easy.
Or maybe they did and you fell into the trap/lie/myth of thinking that your biggest and wildest dreams were just going to float on over to your fingertips as you decided you wanted them, for real, this time.
Seriously, did you think it was going to be THAT easy?
Wouldn't you already have the thing, if it were so?
I was talking to my coach last night, in a little bit of a funk, and being just slightly boo-hoo-y, and actually honestly, sounding perhaps a little bit like a spoiled brat.
Oh, WHOA IS ME, I get to create a life and a business of my own design.
I get to have time and money freedom.
I get to travel the world in luxury.
I get to build a business from my sweatpants from my couch mid-snuggles with my dog, or from an airport lounge in my favorite high vibe outfit, with a glass of Sancerre in hand.
Seriously, life is sooooo hard.
Haha, ok but anyways - back to my point.
Did you seriously think it was going to be easy?
Why do you act surprised when you hit a wall, an obstacle, a "problem" (which you KNOW are just opportunities anyways).
Did you think it was going to be easy, overnight, instantaneous to create a seven figure business with tens of thousands of dollars and programs flying off the shelves and a routine spot in Entrepreneur Magazine??
And although it's tempting to be all victimized and blame it on "all the coaches" who are posting about their fabulous lifestyles and only showing the glittery shit and yada yada, PLEASE - spare me the whoa is me, let me be victimized by everyone else's process and how they show up online and let me make it about THEM, instead of actually just taking responsibility for ME, because THAT'S actually what they've been doing that I've been unwilling to do which HAS them flying around the world first class sipping on Dom Perignon.
Anyways, I digress. (Nothing gets me more heated than when you, YES YOU! - waste your time bitching about how Everyone Else is doing it - Number one rule of success - STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE, EYES ON YOUR OWN PAPER)…And play nice while you're at it, yeah??
So back to this idea that you think creating your wildest dreams was supposed to come easy, and freely and go off without a hinge.
I'm sorry.
I know you're frustrated that its not that way.
I am too, sometimes.
But the longer you spend moping around, kicking rocks, cursing your lot, and feeling SORRY for yourself??
The more time you waste:
-Being hard on yourself
-Not creating your soul's work
-Being stuck in victim mentality
-Adding stress to your nervous system
-And just NOT in any way, shape, or form, being magnetic to your soulmate tribe!!
Can you find it in yourself to pick yourself up by your bootstraps, aknowledge to yourself that this is actually just what it looks like, realizes you're not special, and get the fuck on with it (this process of creating your dream life?!)
Listen, the only reason I say this to you is because well, A, you need to hear it, but because B?
I was pulling this shit yesterday too.
I was talking to my mentor who makes MULTIPLE seven figures a year in her business, is online famous, THE leading mentor for online badasses, and who walks her talk like no one else I've ever seen online.
Hearing her remind me that this is just part of the process and that at EVERY level, you will have doubt and fear and the only thing that will ensure your success, is that you keep going, sort of smacked me back to reality.
I'm not saying that creating your dream business is all about struggle and strife.
Not at all.
But if you REALLY mean it, and you're REALLY following your purpose work, and you're REALLY going after what you REALLY want?
You're going to have to drive up to the surface, and heal, and release, ALL THE THINGS that were initially in the way of you creating that to begin with.
You're going to have to develop habits of consistency.
You're going to have to actually learn some business basics of what the actual fuck to DO online.
You're going to have to build confidence, strength, determination, grit, resilience, passion, fervor, and humility.
You're going to have to clean up all of your wacky ass scarcity shit and heal your relationship with money.
You're going to have to learn how to love and accept yourself.
You're going to have to learn how to BE yourself.
You're going to have to learn how to SHINE YOUR LIGHT.
So…ermmmm….yeahhhh…..not for the faint of heart.
That's why most people who want to build an online empire…don't.
They perhaps weren't aware of what it would take and got a few months/years in and were like holy shit, I can't handle this.
Or they knew it, and they got into the thick of it, and just couldn't hang.
It takes sheer determination and commitment to walk the plank when it's tough. Especially when it's tough, month after month, year after year.
But if you want it bad enough, you'll just keep going.
And that's how success is born.
Just keep going.
We wrapped up Stop, Drop and Journal (the live version), almost two weeks ago, and are currently packaging it into a self study course, which will be available within the next couple of weeks!
This is a 21 day online course with daily journaling prompts to help you develop the CONSISTENCY and the HABIT of your journaling practice, which if you've been following me for more than five seconds, you know has helped ME personally to create a life and a business of my own design, with intention. Besides journaling though, we go deep into the process of being responsible for your reality, and how to create your results using your mindset.

As published in Nashville Post, October 3, 2017
Health technology holding company Trilliant Health has acquired fellow local venture Expression Health Analytics, adding to its lineup a suite of analytics services that help hospitals keep and grow their customer bases.
Terms of the acquisition by Trilliant — formed earlier this year from the merger of Aegis Health and Clariture Health — of Expression aren't being disclosed, but the deal does involve local angel investment firm NueCura Partners converting its investment in Expression into a stake Trilliant. In addition, Expression Founder and CEO Jeff McDonald and Director Rick Hernandez of Tech Coast Angels will join the Trilliant board while Tony Corley of NueCura will become a board observer.
Two-year-old Expression is built on a national claims database that includes data from multiple insurers and other sources. The platform contains more than 100 terabytes of data and helps clients analyze acquisition and outpatient site development scenarios, among other things. Those services will be integrated with Aegis' and Clariture' data on employees, patients and health care shoppers to give providers a clearer picture of their growth options.
"Jeff and the Expression Health team have developed a powerful analytics platform that ingests and normalizes more than 300 million claim lines per month, which provides Expression Health's clients with the ability to spot trends and understand patterns," said Hal Andrews, CEO of Trilliant. "Expression Health will be Trilliant's business intelligence engine for [surgery centers], hospitals, health systems, physician practices, and other providers."

NORTH BERWICK, Maine — A female driver was airlifted to Maine Medical Center Wednesday evening after a two vehicle accident on Route 4.
According to Lt. James Moulton of the North Berwick Police Department, the 2:47 p.m. accident occurred after the driver of a 2000 silver Subaru Forester rear-ended a black Dodge Durango, which was attempting to turn left onto Oaks Woods Road.
Although the two occupants of the Dodge Durango escaped the crash unharmed, response teams had to use extrication tools to remove the driver of the Subaru from her vehicle.
The woman was later airlifted from the scene of the accident to Maine Medical Center for unspecified injuries sustained during the crash. According to Moulton, the woman was conscious and breathing after the accident.
Both vehicles, which were heading north along Route 4, sustained damage — with the Subaru Forester sustaining heavy damage.
The North Berwick Police and Fire Departments both responded to Wednesday's crash. Traffic along Route 4 backed up as a result, and officers detoured northbound traffic along Oaks Woods Road and turned southbound vehicles completely around.
Moulton estimated the detours would remain in effect until shortly before 5 p.m. as North Berwick officers completed reconstruction of the scene.

Collective Poetry at King's: Resurrection
'Resurrection' by Jecinta Mellen
He lay dead.
Before He was even born,
Strangers threw shame upon His name, scorned
His mother.
He lived perfectly, though
Foxes have dens,
Birds have nests,
He had no place to lay His head.
And even in death
His enemies said, "He was a liar
He said He would rise after three days
Let soldiers guard His grave
And let everyone know He was a liar."
After three days
The women came to the tomb at dawn
In the early light.
Expecting to mourn
Expecting to find
A broken body wrapped in cloth
And instead
The brightest light shone that morning
And the best news rung out.
He is risen!
In new life and glory
Death put to death
The question of life
Answered in the savour risen from the grave
It was just as He said it would be
What sounded at first like defeat
Was in fact the opening notes
Of His victory song.
The greatest ever sung
Any remnants of guilt, shame, sin
You may look for in tatters at His feet,
Still stuck on heart or sleeve
Are gone, gone, darkness flown away
Obliterated, forgotten, when we turn to His face
The only memory left
Marked in His hands and side
Not to condemn
But to bring life.

International Yoga Day: Yoga & Fearlessness in Eating Disorder Recovery
When I began my yoga teacher training in 2014, I read an incredible book by a renowned yoga teacher, Erich Schiffmann. In his book, "The Spirit and Practice of Moving in Stillness" (1996), he states, "The purpose of yoga is to facilitate the profound inner relaxation that accompanies fearlessness."
I recognize fearlessness as doing something so great as recovering from an eating disorder. As the yoga teacher at BALANCE, I always aim to promote fearlessness in our weekly yoga classes.
Studies on yoga as a complementary therapy to eating disorder treatment have been conducted, although findings appear to be inconclusive at this time (Balasubramaniam, Telles, & Doraiswamy, 2012). Despite this, it has been found that two-thirds of residential treatment programs have implemented yoga therapy into their treatment programs (Frisch, Herzog, & Franko, 2006). Yoga is clearly doing something right on the ground.
Physically, yoga is known to modulate the stress response, calm the nervous system, reduce the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and ease rapid breathing (Harvard Mental Health Letter, 2009). In my experience, yoga therapy brings the focus back to the function, not the form, of the body. This can be incredibly rewarding for someone suffering from an eating disorder. Yoga demonstrates to the patient that physical strength, mental clarity, and inner relaxation can be more positive attributes than thinness, yearn for control, or perfectionism. Yoga can even help cure the cognitive distortions an eating disorder creates.Through the three pillars of yoga- physical practice, breathing techniques, and meditation- clients can work to separate their fears from reality, to reduce anxious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to find inner relaxation.
I welcome all of us to welcome more yoga into our lives, to welcome the fearlessness that comes with inner peace and internal fierceness. And to those struggling with eating disorders, perhaps you will consider adding yoga, even something as simple as belly breathing, into your recovery. It may even ignite your fearlessness deep inside.
This post was written by Cassandra Lenza, MS, LCSW, RYT. Cassandra is the Clinical Director here at BALANCE. She is an experienced individual, group, and family therapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders through the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia (CSAB), where she was extensively trained. Cassandra has conducted psychotherapy and evidence-based interventions in numerous eating disorder outpatient treatment programs throughout New York City. She is a member of the National Association of Social Work (NASW) and Yoga Alliance, weaving yoga and mindfulness into the therapeutic process as BALANCE's resident yoga teacher.

LifeLight, the non-profit ministry based in Sioux Falls, S.D., that hosts the largest free Christian music festival in America is coming to the largest state in continental America. LifeLight has announced it will hold a Memorial Day weekend free Christian music festival at Willowood Ranch near Sherman.
The mission of LifeLight ministry, as stated on its website is "Taking the church outside the walls, bringing Light into the darkness with the life changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." The original South Dakota Festival is the largest and most well-known event of the ministry. Beginning on a church lawn as a one-night event in 1998 it has since grown to become one of the nation's largest music festivals.
"Held annually on Labor Day weekend in Sioux Falls it attracts hundreds of thousands visitors," said Julie Klinger, LifeLight Festival Director who was in town working with Anna resident Ann Goade, the Texas Festival Coordinator. "For a first-time event here in Texas we are hoping for to see 10,000 people each day."
"It was a two year project to get here to Texas," continued Klinger. "We went to the community where we wanted to bring our message, met with several churches in Sherman, looked for business and community support, and needed to find on-the-ground people here."
Enter Goade. "When I found out that the festival was going to be in Sherman I signed up and started organizing volunteers," said Goade. "And from small roles I wound up with the big one as the festival coordinator."
The festival needs 500 to 600 volunteers with more than 200 already lined up. Volunteers are still needed, and for those that did not sign up on-line "just show up at the festival and we'll sign you up," said Goade.
The three day festival begins on Friday, May 24 and will be held on 350 acres of the beautiful Willowood Ranch between Sherman and Bells. It will feature bands and performers from around the globe on four stages. There also will be speakers, plenty of food, merchandise tents, skateboarding, the arts and plenty of room for camping.
"There will something for everyone — young and old," said Goade.
To get to the festival from Sherman go east on TX 56E, which is E. Lamar St., continue on TX 56E for 6.7 miles and then turn right onto Pink Hill Rd.

A growing number of churches and chapels in the UK are bought every year and converted into dwellings, whether it is for the quirky housing alternative they offer, the beautiful period features, or simply because they hold the potential to achieve more living space.
As with any change-of-use project, there are certain challenges that need to be overcome, in order for the final product to be of good quality and high commercial value. And one of the most common issues with such conversions is a low level of natural light.
Although churches and chapels turned into single homes can offer great amounts of daylight thanks to the large stained-glass windows, bigger buildings are usually turned into several apartments, and are commonly split between two levels. This means not all flats will benefit from the same quota of natural lighting, as project manager for AJ Properties, Gary Rushton, explains: "We're currently working on a large church conversion on High Park Street in Liverpool, looking to deliver 26 new apartments by March 2016. Our architect wanted to incorporate as much natural light as possible, and suggested we use roof windows to achieve the desired Lux levels."
The contractor needed a high quality product that was also competitively priced, and found LB Roof Windows after a quick internet search. Aurora is the supplier's own range of roof windows, manufactured by the VKR group, who also produce the well-known Velux brand. Offering similar features and benefits to the popular Velux products, Aurora is also a more economical choice, helping builders and contractors add value to their projects, while protecting their profit margins.
"We've done our research and looked at many options before choosing to go with Aurora from LB Roof Windows," said Gary.
To assess the quality of the Aurora Roof Window, the company had initially only ordered one product, but the architect was so impressed with it, that they went on to get the other 25 needed for the church conversion immediately.
Gary commented: "I was also extremely impressed to see how proactive and helpful the team at LB Roof Windows is. When I ordered the first Aurora Roof Window to show it to the architect for consideration, they called straight away to remind me that I will also need the multipurpose slate and tile flashing pack in order to ensure the correct installation.
"Once we made our decision, LB Roof Windows' sales director, Adrian Cooper, came to visit the site and offer his recommendations and technical advice, which we found very reassuring and helpful. Both the product and the customer service we have received were excellent, and I have subsequently used the same supplier, for other sites I am currently project-managing," added Gary.
LB Roof Windows' Adrian Cooper said: "This is a stunning project and we were happy to assist the contractor and provide them with our attractive Aurora Roof Window, for which we are exclusive suppliers.
"As land for housebuilding is becoming an increasingly rare commodity, while demand for homes is relentlessly going up, more and more opportunities of this kind will become available. LB Roof Windows has one of the most comprehensive ranges of products to help builders, contractors and architects achieve the desired levels of natural light and ventilation with an elegant solution, whether it be roof windows, skylights, roof domes, flat roof windows, or roof lanterns," concluded Adrian.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bolangir, Nov 3:
Odisha's Agriculture Minister Pradeep Maharathi faced the opposition ire as BJP workers today showed black flags during the former's visit to Bolangir district to assess the drought situation.
The minister was shown black flags near Nanuhandi village in Patnagarh and at Mahulibahali village in Turekela block in the district. Police arrested four BJP workers for their alleged involvement in the incident.
Alleging the state government of doing very little for the farmers' which has failed to stop suicides, the members of BJP showed black flag and shouted slogans against the government.
The members of the saffron party demanded the government to announce entire Bolangir district as drought-hit. Besides, they demanded adequate relief package to the affected farmers and compensation package to the family members of the deceased farmers.
In a related development, Sports and Youth Services Minister Sudam Marandi was also shown black flags during his visit to Ganjam district.
The agitators tried to prevent the minister's vehicle from moving forward by sleeping in front of it. They were opposing the shifting of the sports' hostel for girls for weightlifting from Berhampur to Bhubaneswar.
