"A Breath Away" - Love Never Dies
Excerpt - Chapter 23
The following is an excerpt from my recently published book - "A Breath Away" All Rights Reserved - Publisher Friesen Press - Victoria, B.C. Canada
Dispelling the Myths
"When you meet others in your travels and you can't figure out why you have this strange connection, it is because the soul recognizes the soul. In a nutshell you could call it Soul Reunion. This does not only happen on the Other Side, but in this earthly life as well"
Charlene Christofferson - Spiritual Free Thought Study Group - Facebook
This quote of Charlene's resonates with me because it is exactly what I thought of after Craig's death, going back to the first time I saw him standing there at that Christmas Party in 1980. And it is part of what I put in my song that I had to write for the Music Grief Therapy at Hospice "My Forever Love".
They say there's a soul connection, And my soul seemed to feel yours; no longer was I lost and alone. I finally found true love to call my own.
Since all of this I have had many conversations with Craig. Every single day he tells me how much he loves me. We converse telepathically every night before I fall alseep. If I wake up in the night the first thing I hear is "Lynnie are you alright?" The intimacy is as beautiful as it always was. When I wake up in the morning we talk again. At first I felt foolish. Now it seems as natural as though I have always been doing this. And in a way I have. I know without a doubt now that the first time I saw Craig those many years ago at that Christmas Party, I recognized something in him. I believe with all my heart that we were meant to be.
Craig has told me that "yes" he was angry in the early days in Hospice. He did not want to leave me and yet he knew he had no choice. I recalled the day I asked him if he was angry - but he did not answer. Then I asked him if he was afraid, reminding him that he had always said he was not afraid to die. His answer was "yes, but no one wants to die."
He told me that he started seeing someone in the corner of his room but he did not know who it was. He only knew it was someone who had come to guide him home. But he was not ready to go yet and kept shaking his head. It was a bit of a contradiction because he had said when he first entered hospice "I just want to die", but still he did not want to leave me.
The day before he died , he had reached up over his bed grabbing four times at something that he nows says was floating over his bed. And he told me that that day in Hospice when he was trying to say something to me, and all he could get out was "I", he was trying to tell me "I don't want you to see me die". And there I have my answer for that last night where he reached out and pushed me gently away from his bed. He had struggled for two nights and just could not die in front of me. He could not and did not. He sent me home and has told me time and time again not to feel bad about that. It was his choice and what he wanted.
At the moment of his crossing over he spoke my name, "Lynnie", and immediately realized he could still see me. He could see everything that was happening and he was with me when I got the phone call that he had died. He was with me when I drove back to Hospice and he heard everything that I said when I sat by his bed sobbing my heart out. I remember my neighbour Enia telling me "Lynda, he will have heard every word you said" and this made me feel good even if at the time I was not really sure.
Craig tells me that he came home with me that night and reminded me of the bright white line that I had seen passing across the door as I sat in the den. I remembered, and I recalled how I had become very calm and immediately got up and went to bed. He was with me. And just recently he told me that he will be holding me in his arms when it is my time to cross over.
He explains that the hereafter is merely another dimension right next to us. It is as though he is just in the next room. I hear how beautiful it is and how much I will love it when I cross over and how we will be together through all of eternity. In the meantime he does not want to leave me and he doesn't have to. He can be in both places at once, that's how close we are. He tells me that if I meet someone that I can love again, he wants me to do this. I don't want to think about it but he keeps saying this, telling me not worry, that I will still be with him in the end. The best news is that he is whole and healthy, still straight up the back like the man I remember.
But yet there are days even now when writing this book where I have broken down in sobs asking Craig to tell me how we can be happy on the Other Side when we no longer have our physical bodies. And he tells me that I will understand when I get there, that it will be the same as it has always been for he and I. I am then reminded of the saying "as above, so below - as below, so above". We will be the same. Then I asked him "how can you be happy now then with you in spirit and me in physical body". He answered with a question - "are you happy?" to which I replied "yes" and he said "then why can't I be happy".
In Craig's words in a recent conversation with him, "we are still in love, just as we've always been". And he told me that he sees how much I still love him, daily. He sees it when I am driving along in the car taking in the beauty of the light green leaves of spring, remembering how much he and I enjoyed this time of year. He sees it when I am moving my shoulders to the rhythm of a song on the radio, remembering how he and I loved to dance, and a big smile covers my face. He sees it when I am sitting in a chair reading, and all of a sudden I put the book down and think of him. And I see his love for me every single day in the truth that he is still with me. How could I not!
The softness of your face
in love, is beautiful.
The love in your eyes
is so deep,
it makes me weak.
The love we share
is beyond all words, and
makes my heart sing.
I love you.
Stay with me
and I will believe!

Darling Lynda,
I've read something today that I thought you might appreciate as much as I do:
"Telepathic Communion is a State of Love:
To establish a true telepathic connection with another person, one has to be in a 'state of Love' with that person, while that person has to be in a receptive condition. Then you can send or receive messages to or from people in physical bodies or discarnate people in the Astral Worlds."
-- Heavens and Hells of the Mind I (p. 350), by Imre Vallyon
Good morning, this is my first read for the day, too. I know it has been therapeutic for you to write this hub, and your book. You are to be commended for sharing such a "tell-all" when most people would run for fear of being ridiculed. I believe we are just a sidestep away from this other reality, and after losing both parents within three years, I think about it more often.
When I was 16, my sweet boyfriend was killed in a car accident. I am now 48, and I swear not one day has passed that he does not enter my thoughts. In a weird twist, I ended up moving from Australia to the U.S. where I married my hubby Chris, who is so much like my lost love it is uncanny at times. He looks just like him - his curly hair, his eyes, height, body language, and his happy and carefree disposition... everything. I sometimes feel guilty that I have unconsciously tried to replace Daryl, but I had no knowledge of the similarities in the physical sense for the first year because we met online. What a weird and wonderful world we live in:)
Take care, give my regards to Craig...
Hi Craiglyn, I just wanted to say how profoundly moving your blog is to me. I haven't even read your book yet, and already I am moved to tears! Three years ago I lost my boyfriend in a car accident 6 weeks after we became engaged. The grieving process felt like it was killing me. Now here I am, reading your blog, and I find I am able to relate to several circumstances that you have described. Those first months were so difficult, I found myself crying harder then I ever have in my life, until I felt like my heart HAD to explode from all the pain building up inside of me. Then, I would feel a calm presence come over me, and I would be able to relax. The situation was incredibly confusing at first. I thought it might be Derrick watching over me, I wanted it to be him, but I was never really sure. Hearing your story brings closure to me because now I know I am not the only one who felt that. I also agree with you full heartedly about soul mates. The first time Derrick and I met I was convinced that I knew him from somewhere else. His eyes seemed so familiar to me. I eventually dismissed the notion and told myself I must be confusing Derrick with someone else. I know this is quite a bit of information so I just wanted to finish with thank you for sharing your story, it means so much to me to know that you are only a click away, and that you understand everything I have been through. I look forward to reading your book as soon as possible!
Dear craiglyn,
I took it as a beautiful sign that this hub is the first one I read first thing this morning. You see, I have just made a conscious decision to let true soul love in. After a divorce and many bad experiences with relationships later, I am scared to death about love. Just three days ago, I went out on a first coffee with someone, and half way through it I just wanted to run away. I knew he wasn't right and I didn't want any more hurt in my life. I went home and immediately terminated my internet dating service account (which was only up for three days). But I know Ture Love is possible. For three nights I dreamed of a gentle loving male presence that emanates love to every fibre of my being. He appears to be young, but strong with his love. This morning, before I got out of the bed, I consciously embrace this love within the safety of a bubble of pink light. I got in here, and didn't stop to read until I found this very hub after about 5 links.
And the love between you and Craig simply melts my heart. I am a true believer in the spirit afterlife and have had first hand messages from my best friend who crossed over. But I have never experienced true love, at least not in this life. Thank you for showing me that a beautiful profound love like yours could indeed be possible. Thank you for writing about your experiences so others could be touched, and uplifted. You are truly blessed and we are blessed along with you xo
This was very moving, and inspirational. Thanks for sharing:-))
Hi Craiglyn ... impressive, touching and indeed well done... thank you for sharing this with us...
A Free download I have offered on Amazon... please take a peek and let your friends know
Hugs from Alberta
I always wonder about the "after life" and that is one subject I'll never get tired of reading and knowing. I also believed in "soul mate" --thus, I find this hub very fascinating. How touching it is. I love the short and sweet poem at the end; very delightful. Thanks Lyn!
I'm yet to check your book.
Love from the sky~
I liked this hub here about the afterlife and it has been a very interesting read indeed, that book must have been something of a truly good read for sure.
I believe in the hereafter or life after death myself, I don't think we go nowhere after we pass away. I do believe however we may lose connection with that of our very own identity, but I guess in that cool book one can do otherwise.
The author definitely has a profound imagination for sure, and your hub article has made me wonder if it is possible to detect our loved ones after we pass to the purely spiritual realm, and imagine if that would be possible. Cool stuff!
This is a lovely hub you got here Craiglyn, voted as beautiful, interesting, and awesome!
Thank you so much for this share and I look forward to many more by you.
Hi Lynn,
I would be honored if you would add it to your testimonial page.
Yes, in addition to entertaining and helping others, this book should make a beautiful keepsake for you as well as a special family heirloom.
Hello Again, Dear Lynn,
Have just finished reading "A Breath Away," and though it is the middle of the night, had to come back here and tell you that I thought it was one of the most moving, poignant, true life love stories that I have ever read.
This book should be read by anyone who's ever lost someone they dearly love, not just because it's a tender love story that they can relate to, but because the entire second half of the book takes one through the process of what I call healthy, healing grief.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and each person, as you say, goes through their own process, but what is so beautiful about your book is that it shows the power of reaching out to others, instead of retreating from the world, which so many of those in grief are prone to do.
Also, your depiction of the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice, shows what a difference that caring, competent hospice staff can make both before and after a loved one's death.
Last, but not least, the fact that Craig's spiritual and loving presence helps you through the darkest times of grief, is, to me, what makes your story so compelling. I suspect many widows or widowers have had similar experiences, but never spoken to anyone about it for fear of being ridiculed or labeled crazy. Reading about your experience will bring them comfort and reassurance.
They are not alone, nor crazy, just still remarkably connected with a beloved soul mate who loves them through eternity and is only a breath away.
Sending a Bouquet of Hub Hugs & Love,
Yes, I felt the same way when I read the first page of your book before I just ordered it on Kindle. I don't have wireless internet so I won't be able to "activate" the Kindle version till I get to my library where there's free wireless.
Your book's cover and website is breathtaking and very professional!
This excerpt and the new website about your book, "A Breath Away," has truly touched my heart and made me eager to read the whole book.
I believe that love never dies and that if we remain open to that possibility we can feel, hear, sense and sometimes even see our departed loved ones even as we each live in different realms.
I lost my first love to cancer when I was 18 and he was 21 and that was the first time I asked myself, "What happens when we die? Where do we go?"
I was convinced that our souls do live on and for quite a long time I could feel my love's presence very strongly. Though that is no longer the case, it brought much comfort in the first days, weeks, months and years after he passed on.
After I met and fell in love with my husband, my first love's spirit seemed to leave me, but by then I was ready to fully love again and had met my future husband.
Am headed back to your website to purchase a Kindle version of your book.
May God Bless You and May Your Book Comfort Many Others Who Have Lost a Loved One,
Cheers Lynda, I shall certainly look into that :)
Hi Lynda. I can relate to this hub in so many ways from beginning to end. Voted up as awesome, beautiful and interesting. Keep well lynda and don´t forget to look after yourself during this very stressful time :)
Absolutely beautiful, Lyn -- I often feel the presence of my son when I least expect it and treasure those moments greatly. I'm so happy about your books -- congratulations and blessings! Best/Sis
No worries......One of the hubs I wrote recently, did not show up on my profile page for almost 2 days......but I knew it should be OK, since it was being read! btw,.....I'm Paula....You're Lyn. LMAO!!! That's funny!
lynda....This is so very touching. I felt something stirring inside as I read how you and Craig communicate......I have so many of the same feelings and emotions for my precious soul mate who left me so long ago....Your hub has given me comfort and solace....but I still carry sorrow, lyn.....all these years. It never ever goes away..........UP+++

Veterans and First Responders! That is who we're about!
Taking care of those who take care of us.
Whether it's 22 a day or 2 a day, it's too many!
Our mission is to promote awareness, provide support, and contribute resources to combat suicide in veterans and first responders.
There are certain events that inspire you to do something about a problem! For me, it was a hearing about yet another friend that had attempted to take his own life after a decade of service! This was a trend over years of hearing story after story of once feared men whom I had served with that looked death in the eyes and stared back with a fierce grimace of pride and patriotism.
So I started talking about it and realized that more people need help or are struggling than I could ever have imagined; and finding out that there is not just one fix or solution to the problem. Every person is different, some need a professional, others need small talk with a friend on a camping trip! Whatever the case, I want to make it happen, and for Catch 22 to be a resource for those who have been willing to give it all up for what they believe in. I don't care if it's 22 a day or 2 a year... it should be ZERO!
Why Catch22?...Two reasons.
1. People devote their lives to protect our great citizens and country...So many then struggle with things they've seen and had to do resulting in some of them loosing their lives to themselves. If that's not a "catch 22" what is?
2. In 2012, the VA released a study estimating that 22 veterans per day were committing suicide. That number has changed over the years but has gained traction in the fight against it. So lets "catch" them and stop the tragedy together!

Monday was another day filled with activity
After breakfast and morning devo, we rode the bus to a nearby community to give out bags of food (rice, beans, flour, sugar, etc) that we had packed earlier. We searched for the poorest-appearing families, and tired to explain it was a gift from Iglesia de Christo. Frequently their response to "Dios est bueno" ("God is good") was something in Spanish with "Amen" at the end.
We then drove to a community at the outskirts of Tegucigalpa to build a house and hold a medical clinic. This was rugged, mountainous terrain overlooking a valley with a river. The wood had been delivered as close as possible to the site, but we had to carry all the wood, tin for the roof, and our tools to the site. The building site was about a quarter mile away, up a steep slope covered with rocks and mud. Together with the elevation and warm, humid weather, this was a daunting task. Someone commented that if anyone tried to hire us to do this in the US we would say no way – you couldn't pay me enough to do that! But we did accomplish it, with help from some of the Hondurans who saw us and pitched in to help.
While some of us were carrying the wood (which, by the way, is not kiln-dried and therefore is much heavier than in the US), part of our team started the house by setting the four corner posts 16 feet apart. The house went up relatively quickly even though we were hampered by sloppy mud that accumulated from water trickling into the site. By the end our feet and legs were covered with mud.
This was one of the most difficult sites we have had to build on, but when it was done it was very satisfying.
After we climbed back down the hill, we distributed bags of food to many of the families in the community.
The new homeowner was very thankful for the house; this alone is sufficient reward. However, on this day we received a surprise reward for our hard work: the restaurant where the new homeowner works was so impressed by what we had done that she invited our entire group (over 30 people) to her restaurant for a free meal. So we went straight there (despite being tired and dirty) and enjoyed a delicious meal of grilled meat, beans, and tortilla bread. This excellent Honduran meal tasted even better after a day of hard work!
We capped off our day with a devo lead by Dustin based on Matthew 25:40.
Other than a bat in one of the bedrooms, the rest of the night was uneventful.

'Aadhaar linking is latest arsenal for cybercrime fraudsters'
As India shifts to a cashless economy, cyber threats are at a new high with the number of incidents occurring in banking systems increasing in the last few years. Data released by the Pune Police clearly mentions that increasing cyber fraud in the city has created an extra burden for the police force. Hindustan Times spoke to Rohan Nyayadhish, director of Digital Task Force, Cyber Crime Helpline.pune Updated: Oct 30, 2017 18:44 IST
As a cybercrime expert, why do you think that there is an increase in the number of cyber frauds?
We all are living in a cyber world. Internet is a two-edged weapon, it depends on how you use it. Inappropriate use of internet creates opportunity for miscreants to commit fraud.
According to data released by the Pune police, there are new trends in cybercrime. Can you please elaborate on these trends?
There are new trends in cybercrime. Criminals are now not using traditional ways, they use modern technology. According to me, there are three types of crime which are trending. First is money transfer using card credentials, second is GST-ITR filing fraud and third and most trending is Aadhaar card linking fraud. In the third type of fraud, criminals are mostly targeting people in the old age group.
Can you please explain the Aadhaar card linking fraud?
In this type of fraud, people receive a call from a fake bank employee. These fake employees collect your bank account details saying that they will link your Aadhaar number to the bank account. In such type of fraud, there is theft of information of your cards. This information is then used to make online transactions. Those on the other side lure them and collect details about the ATM card numbers, passwords and bank account details. The fraudsters threaten people by saying that their cards would be deactivated in case they do not cooperate.
Pune police claimed that they had recovered ₹60 lakh, do you think it is enough?
If this figure of recovered amount is compared to the figure of the number of cases registered, then it is a disappointment. The conviction rate in cybercrime related cases is also very less. It becomes difficult for cops to deal with such cases, if they do not have technical training. I have conducted many lectures and seminars for the police force and I feel that many police personnel still require training. Transfer issue, lack of interest, lack of technical background, infrastructure issues are some of the problems faced by the cops.
Do you have any suggestion for these problems?
According to me, there is large scale change in the recruitment process of the police force. Along with other criteria, there should be technical criteria too during recruitment because cybercrime is not only related to 'Cyber Police Branch'. Every cop should be able to investigate cybercrime. Also, the government should not transfer any cop having expertise in cybercrime to other divisions, otherwise there will be a loss of his expertise.
What do you want to appeal to our readers?
Please be aware and do not share your bank details in any circumstance. I especially request old people to be aware. Also keep your system updated. Do not open any unknown mail.

I am going to make fun of my friend for a second here. She is a lovely, beautiful, Godly germ freak. I always knew this about her, but I saw it in action last week when my daughter and I traveled by train with her and her daughter. As I happily sipped my coffee and my daughter played with her doll ON THE FLOOR OF THE PUBLIC TRAIN, both of us oblivious to the presence of germs, bacteria or other such toxins, my friend was in full-on battle mode. She was relentless in her attack against impurities. Hand sanitizer everywhere! I had no idea my exterior surroundings could be so toxic.
As I now giggle thinking back on our trip, I can't stop thinking about that hand sanitizer. I wish I could do what my friend did with her hands to my heart. I want to squirt a big glob of it in my heart, and then I want to really rub it into all the gunky crevices where impurities like jealousy, bitterness and selfishness live. This verse says plainly that the pure in heart will see God, and I want to see God. I want my faith to be real. I want my God to be more than an invisible idea that I visit silently on Sunday. So, how do I do the pure in heart part?
Well, anyone who has ever gone to Sunday school knows that the answer to just about any Christian question is "God", "Jesus" or "the Bible". And I think that is true here. Still, in the wake of Easter, we have to look back at the religious leaders who studied scriptures day and night, who built a nation bent on looking for a Savior, who believed whole-heartedly in God. And when the Jesus stood before them - so closely that their spit would land on His face - they said, "Crucify Him!"
They believed in God, they knew scripture, but they did not see. Their hearts were not pure. So, when I look at this verse, and I wonder HOW, how do I get a pure heart? I have to look at two things: my motive and my obedience.
First, motive. In all the Christian/God stuff that we do, what is our motive? Is it to feel good about ourselves? Is it because we are good Christian women and that is just what we do? Is it something we need to check off to feel productive? When I sit to have my quiet time, when I go to Bible Study, when I serve those in need – why am I doing it? Is the truth of it that I want to see myself in a better light? Or is it because I want to see God? God tells us, "You will seek me and you will find me, when you seek Me with all your heart." Let's be clear: God can be found; He wants to be found. This is not a spiritual game of hide-and-seek where you are always "it". God is in the business of revealing Himself. The question is, are we truly seeking Him? In all that we do in our Christian realms, are we seeking Him or are we seeking a prettier version of ourselves?
The second heart sanitizer is obedience. I really, really stink at obedience. I am good at reading God's word and making notes about its poignancy in my journal. I can even write about it… like…I …am…doing…right…now. But doing what it says is far harder. I get up, put the Words down, go about my day, and wonder why my heart is so grimy. Have you ever gotten a pump of hand sanitizer and not rubbed it in? I rolls right off. It may cleanse that spot where it landed, but that's it. My friend rubbed her hands raw getting that stuff in every crease of her skin. God's word is not meant to be doppled on the top of our hearts. It is meant to be massaged all into our hearts. We do that by obedience. Scripture tells us to be careful with our words; and as we obey, it is like the sanitizer begins to wash away the part of the heart that is critical. Scripture tells us to honor our parents, and as we do that, His word begins to wash away the part of our heart that is breeding resentment. Our obeying is the massaging of the heart, and massaging done by Holy words purifies.
We can be so topical in our faith – showing up at events, reading our devotions, singing our songs. And we wonder why we don't see God, why our faith feels empty. William Barclay says we can only see what we are able to see. If I go for a walk down a country road, I am likely to see a bunch of weeds, maybe an odd wildflower, some vines. But if a botanist walked down the same road, he might see plants that could be eaten, maybe some exotic herbs. He may notice a flower that is a rarity in that it typically blooms in countries far away. He sees what I don't see because he has spent years looking and testing and studying and thinking about plants.
The same is true with God and His word. We will see what we are able to see. And we are able to see more and more as we take His word into our hearts. We hear His word, we study His word, we rub His sanitizing Word into the dark corners of our hearts as we obey His word. We think about Him, we abide in Him, we love Him, and then we get up and we walk through our lives LOOKING for Him.
The more we look for Him, the more we will see Him. CS Lewis said, "It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to."
Let's be women who live wanting to see God

I always tell people that "I like reality" when it comes to my photography. Usually I'm talking about not using Photoshop and getting things right in camera. However, many times this pertains to capturing real moments and real emotion. Even when I'm creating a dynamic shot that requires some set up, I'm always looking for the real moment that is occurring between my couples. That's what I got while working with Tony & Charlett. I didn't really have to direct them, I didn't need to tell them to smile. They were always smiling, naturally playful, and very obviously in love.
I've known Tony for a long time. He's one of my fraternity brother from back in college and he has always been a good guy. When he called me to discuss photographing his wedding I was very excited for him and honored that he called. When I spoke with Charlett it was very obvious how important photography was to her and that's always a plus. For their engagement session we hit a number of spots in downtown Los Angeles. More and more I'm discovering hidden gems throughout the city, even within places I've been to many times. We shot a bit at Union Station (things have changed since I last shot there), across the way by Olvera Street, and at Disney Concert Hall. I had a very hard time narrowing down the images to post, always a good problem to have.
Congratulations Tony & Charlett, I can't wait for your vineyard destination wedding!

11th Ward Tax Tricks Written Up In DNAChicago
Casey Cora in today's DNAChicago spotlights the 11th Ward Tax Tricks event we are sponsoring Thursday along with 11th Ward Neighbors. Casey writes:
"Hosted by The Civic Lab co-founder Tom Tresser, the ongoing, citywide seminars are for residents looking to learn how money is being collected and spent under the oft-misunderstood economic development tool of TIFs.
"Here's how it works: When an area is declared a TIF district — by law it's supposed to be in a "blighted" area — the county sets a "base value" by totaling the property values within the district."
"Then, the amount of property tax money public agencies like schools and parks can take from that area is calculated using that base value for 23 years. Any additional property tax money generated from an increase in property values within the TIF district is instead sent to the TIF fund overseen by the city."
"The event is sponsored by Friends of Maureen Sullivan, the political group backing the candidacy of 11th Ward aldermanic candidate Maureen Sullivan.
"In a statement, Sullivan criticized TIF misuse and what she's labeled the 11th Ward's "old-boy leadership," citing her decade-long crusade to renovate the long-shuttered Ramova Theater, which is owned by the city."
"The city in 2012 spent $330,000 shoring up the building but hasn't secured a developer to renovate it."
About That Shoring-Up Of The Ramova
City ownership of the Ramova has been a major topic of Maureen's community work since she created and led Save The Ramova in 2005. It was Maureen who called attention to the specific architectural damages to the building and it was her work that forced the appropriation of remediation funds. Before her pressure, the city had let the property deteriorate.
"It's just one chapter in a ten-year long story of fighting for that theater," Sullivan said. "But it's an important one."

Do you have a proverb, adage, motto or axiom you live by?
Or perhaps multiple?
Most likely you do.
For some reason those specific words captured and spoke
to us at one time or another.
There is something undeniably particular about them.
They become trusted and sacred wisdom that can have a tremendous
impact on the trajectory of our lives.
They can guide us when we are lost, galvanize us when we are sluggish,
ignite a passion within our soul that had been absent or simply provide
sound understanding we had been lacking.
At the same time, there are similar sayings that we love and hold close
but don't carry as much weight.
We may become calloused to their potency by our familiarity.
One of these that comes to my mind is, "attitude of gratitude".
I (Ryah) have listened to multiple people speak to the importance of being
thankful and the guaranteed mental shift that comes with changing our
perspective to one of thankfulness.
I have sought to consistently apply it and utilize it.
Overtime however, it began to loose some of its dynamic power and robust application.
Dr. Gary, DC recently decided it would be a fun to talk about this idea on
Lunch with the Doc. We were walking down the street to eat at a local
restaurant on Ocean Ave and to our dismay it was closed so we turned
around and walked across the street to Laguna Sushi.
Just as we were walking up one of our bestest friends, Mr. Dave Tosti
appeared in his black Countryman Mini coup, rolls down his window
and greets us.
There was no other option than for him to park his car, eat lunch with
us and talk about the importance and beauty of gratitude.
It was a wonderful lunch and a great reminder to live a life of recognition,
thanks and gratefulness.
Check out the video below. Enjoy!

Aston Villa did have goal-scoring options, they simply chose not to use them.
With Keinan Davis joining Jonathan Kodjia on the side-lines as Aston Villa prepared to face Derby County this weekend, Villans boss Steve Bruce opted to kick off the match without a recognised striker.
The thing is, not only was forward Scott Hogan sitting on the bench but, in youngster Callum O'Hare, Villa have a potentially brilliant partner for the former Brentford man.
Hogan and O'Hare is a partnership some Villa fans have been desperate to see develop and yet Bruce headed into a clash against a fellow promotion hopeful with neither of them, seemingly hoping for a lucky goal on the break rather than taking he game to the Rams.
Ultimately, and unsurprisingly, Derby won 2-0, leaving Villa supporters to wonder why Bruce continues to make bizarre decisions before admitting afterwards that yes, perhaps he made a mistake.
Hogan is not a bad player, even if his goal-return for Villa has failed to justify his price tag or the hype that accompanied his arrival. He simply needs the right player operating behind him and O'Hare fits the bill perfectly.
The 19-year-old showed in his EFL Cup appearances earlier this season what he is capable of, quickly forming an impressive understanding with Hogan, who scored three goals in his first two cup outings.
O'Hare is ready to step up for Villa in the league, while overlooking Hogan when they need goals is baffling to say the least.
Have something to tell us about this article?

Most 2600 games zero out RAM and the TIA upon startup, and if that happens, the machine is reset to a known state, hence no frying effects. So frying must do something to interfere with getting the start vector from $FFFC into PC. I'd guess that there's still noise on the bus when the 6502 tries to address $FFFC, causing the PC to get initialized from somewhere else instead. Also, what exactly are you doing with the RAM? I wouldn't expect a random sequence of RAM values to accurately simulate frying. More likely, frying just flips a handful of bits in the RAM, and it may be more likely for a bit to go from 1 to 0 than the reverse... - Erik Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://stella.biglist.com

Summer and winter
In the winter of 1996 I visited my aunt and uncle in St Paul, the less well-known of the Twin Cities, in Minnesota. Minneapolis being the more outgoing twin. Blue skies, frozen lakes, snow and a bitter dry cold are how I remember it. This summer I visited again with my family and was surprised to discover how lush, green and watery (not icy) Minnesota is! As a newbie in the States in '96 the most enduring impression for me was the apparent lack of people in downtown St Paul, until I discovered the balmy malls and sky-ways that opened up inside the skyscrapers. With my family in July this year, it was the heat that kept us off the street, but we enjoyed milling around in the air-con cafes, shops and spotless atria.
outdoor market
Soon after we arrived in the US, we visited the Asian Market in downtown St Paul, displaying colourful flowers and vegetables. We pottered around the market and my aunt bought some beans for a delicious curry she made later that day.
Minnehaha Falls
Our hosts enjoyed taking us to the local sights, including Minnehaha Falls [1]. Jacob Fjelde's sculpture, 'Hiawatha and Minnehaha' has stood near the falls on the banks of Minnehaha Creek, since 1912. Based on Longfellow's poem, 'The Song of Hiawatha', the sculpture has been featured on postcards for over 100 years. After cooling off in the spray of the falls, we stopped for a soup and sandwich lunch in one of the many cafes and delicatessens in the region. The interiors of the dellies typically have high ceilings, dark wooden features and luxurious leather booths. The sausages at the Ukrainian Deli got a definite thumbs-up from my Serbian husband, Dragan.
Walker Art centre
Minnesota's famous 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' sculpture by artist Coosje Van Bruggen (originally from the Netherlands) and her husband Claes Oldenburg can be found at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. It is full of fascinating sculpture from the 20th and 21st centuries and is definitely worth a visit.
It takes some doing to come up with something truly original, but in 1931 Calder did just that with his kinetic sculptures. They became known as 'mobiles' and this beautiful example employs Calder's typically colourful abstract forms. I have always liked his work.
The Mall of America
I had fun at the Mall, especially when I voted that Dragan take Aleks on the log flume! People fly to Minneapolis from around the US to visit this enormous shopping mall. [3]
The Weisman Art Gallery
Gehry, a master of titanium clad architecture, created this beautiful gallery beside the Mississippi River at the University of Minneapolis in 1993 (see above). It houses an eclectic collection of modern American art, Korean furniture and Mimbres pottery, amongst other artefacts. Weisman was a Californian philanthropist, who made a huge contribution to the museum's collection. [4]
A Trip to Wisconsin
We took a short road trip to the neighbouring state of Wisconsin and enjoyed a stroll by the Mississippi on a pretty little shore called Sea Wing Park in the town of Diamond Bluff. [5] The river marks the boundary between the two states. Our son Aleks paddled and I, as usual, chased uncooperative butterflies with my camera!
Paddle Steamer Tragedy
Sea Wing Park is named after 'The Sea Wing', an excursion paddle steamer that capsized due to strong winds in nearby Lake Pepin in 1890. 98 passengers of the 215 people aboard drowned in the accident and it was one of Wisconcin's worst travel disasters. [6]
I thought I would leave you with a few impressions of the Stadium, Skyscrapers, Art & Mall.
My next blog post will be about our trip across Canada, from the East to the West!

We could tell by the nervousness of the sea gulls that something was coming within the next day or so. They would not sit still. They would soar in groups and then disappear for hours at a time. Although we didn't have a barometer, my ears could feel the pressure dropping. We were now checking the weather via telephone to the US, at $12.00 a pop, twice a day.
Today, we would take the 40 minute water ferry ride to Cancun and pick up the parts at the airport. I was torn between two crucial tasks. Should I make the trip to the airport to make sure my young crew did not get distracted by the Cancun beach front, which I knew would be teaming with equally young female vacationers? Or…should I stay with the boat and start tearing the steering apart to prepare for making the repairs and also start to prepare for the approaching storm? I was reminded of an old TV commercial where Gabe and Earl were standing in the bunk house looking out the window at the pouring rain. Gabe turned to Earl and said, "Earl, the boss wants one of us to go out and fix the fence and he wants me to go into town for supplies." Two of the crew stayed with the boat to start to batten the hatches, while I and two other crew members took the ferry "into town."
In addition to picking up the parts at the airport which went fairly smoothly except for the exorbitant importation taxes, we had to find a sewing kit to repair a small sail rip. It would also be a good idea to have it available in case we did get into some heavy weather and have to make additional repairs. We were all back at the boat within four hours of our departure, much to the chagrin the two crew members who had accompanied me. My hunch was correct. The moment the ferry landed in Cancun, there were hundreds of vacationers lounging on the beach. I left them there to "mingle" while I took the taxi ride to the airport alone.
By the end of the day, we had made the necessary steering repairs. In addition, we had repaired the water pump that had decided to go on the fritz, the head that had gotten clogged and the automatic bilge switch that had decided to fail.
That evening we again called the States and listened in to the weather channel. The tropical storm was increasing in intensity and was due to cross Cuba within 24 to 36 hours. Its path was predicted to follow Cuba's southern coast line and then turn more northerly as it left Cuba and was back in open water. We pulled out our charts and began to wonder "what if?" What if it didn't turn north and what if it continued to strengthen? It was on a track to hit us head on.
We were due to depart just about the time the storm would be making up its mind whether or not to turn into the Gulf of Mexico. Having lived through several hurricanes both on the Gulf Coast of Texas and in Florida, there was no hesitation when I announced that our departure would be indefinitely delayed. The next chore was scouting out the best place to be around the Island, should the storm decide to visit.
We spent the next morning scouting potential anchorages. We found a great little bay within the Island, unfortunately the water depth precluded us from entering the protected waters. The decision was made that where we were at the Marina was probably as good as anywhere else we could move to, so we doubled up all lines in preparation. The docks were alive others involved in the same chore. The sky was beginning to send signals that something was amiss. That afternoon, our "weather call" confirmed that the storm should be off the western coast of Cuba early in the morning of the next day. That would mean that if it didn't turn north, we would feel the effects tomorrow afternoon. We decided to have a few margaritas and a good meal ashore since the Island very possibly could be without power the next day.
We were awakened the next morning by the rocking of the boat in 20 knot winds. The sky looked much worse today than it had yesterday. The winds were increasing as each hour passed. Mid-morning, our call for weather info confirmed the northerly turn. The storm was not yet a hurricane but winds were in 3wexcess of 60 MPH. Perhaps we were going to dodge the bullet. We did odd jobs as we waited out the residual effects. We recorded winds in excess of 40 knots before it finally decided to subside. I thought it amazing that the minute the storm was not headed our way, everyone was very anxious to leave. I assured them that we were not going anywhere for at least another 24 to 36 hours. I didn't want to be following a monster that might turn around on me.
The storm continued its progress north and by the next afternoon was well into the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico and was forecast to make landfall somewhere in Louisiana. We started to plan our departure, topped off extra fuel tanks, took on fresh water and provisioned for the return trip. The provisions were interesting. It seems that in our brief stay the two crew members that did the provisioning had become, they thought, fluent in Spanish. Oh, well, actually canned tripe is pretty good. We left the next day on our return trip to Key West, and we all wondered what other "challenges" lay ahead as we watched Isla Mujeres disappear over the horizon.
Day one of the return was a little rough but not intolerable. The morning of day two found us in 9 to 12 foot waves left in the path of the storm. Although it was a little difficult to keep a footing, since the period of the waves was great, the ride was not intolerable. The winds continued to increase and we were forced to double reef the main and roll up the furler for a smaller foresail. We were riding the current on the way back and should be back in Key West in a total of three days.
All was well and the weather was starting to calm on our last day. We unfurled the jib and shook out the reefs in the main. Nothing left to do but raise the main back to it's original position. I hate it when I hear that all too familiar "Capt. Matt, I think we may have a problem." The main had jammed on the way up and was stuck about a foot from it's fully raised position. It wouldn't go up and it wouldn't come down.
This particular modern sailing machine had internal halyards. That means that the only part you can see is that which comes out of a small opening at the top of the mast, and the other end that comes out a small opening near the bottom of the mast. Very clever idea which cuts down on the noise of clapping external halyards but not good for troubleshooting and fixing problems. It didn't appear that there was a problem at the bottom of the mast, so it must be at the top. "Volunteers?" I asked, as everyone seemed to scramble to find something that had to be taken care of right away. Although the seas had calmed considerably, it was not going to be fun going up the mast in a boson's chair in 4 to 6's.
Jonathan was now, by far, the lightest one onboard. Especially after hugging the rail for quite some time after I told him what tripe really was. "It makes sense for him to be the one, right?" asked the other three students almost in unison. After a brief explanation of physics and how what throws up must come down, one of the other students volunteered.
We prepared the boson's chair, making sure to put an extra line on just in case the halyard parted. "Let's see, you'll probably need a screw driver to take off the weather plate in order to see the pulleys inside the mast" I said. "Don't know if you will need a regular or phillips so you should take both. Better take a pair of pliers as well, just in case." Everything in order, we slowly used the winch on the mast to raise the student to the top to hopefully find and repair the problem. I was not a happy camper when the student announced that the weather plate was not put on with screws but pop rivets. Since we had neither a battery powered drill or a 50 mile extension cord, we decided to live with the problem for a while. We might have been able to use a chisel to knock off the rivet tops, but I felt it would be too dangerous under the current conditions. It wasn't pretty, but we were still sailing.
We picked up the light at the entrance to Key West around 2100. The end was near. "What are we going to do about the main?" one of the students asked. "Who has never been up in a boson's chair?" I inquired. Three of the four crew's hands timidly were raised. Jonathan was once again ruled out so we flipped a coin to see who got to make the final assent with the knife to cut the halyard. (The halyard was jammed too tight to be able to release the shackle.)
We prepared to work as a team to get control of the main once the halyard was severed. One student steered, one was at the top of the mast with the knife, one was tending the winch which kept the student at the top, and I and the final crew member anxiously awaited the drop of the main. We rounded the entrance light and I sounded the command to cut the halyard. The main immediately fell slack and started its downward decent, simultaneously we all shook and jumped in horror as we heard and witnessed "bombs bursting in air," whistles, rockets and a sky filled with fire. Our celebrated return had just begun. After recovering from the shock, we finally tied up at the dock and made the final log entry at 2330, July 4th.

-Accredited Member of AIPP Australian Institute Of Professional Photography-
I am a tireless seeker of knowledge, occasional purveyor of zen wisdom and also coincidently, an Editorial portrait photographer.
When you hear the word "Photography" you instantly think of captivating images, breathtaking scenery or gorgeous models, and while this sums it up, to me it is so much more than that. Photography is not just a hobby or my job, it is indeed my passion.
For as long as I can remember, I've always had a camera in my hand. Even though I didn't know it at the time, I have come to find out that producing these images and working with such amazing people that this is my calling, my life and what I want to do more than anything.
I shoot in analog film, I shoot in digital. I wrestle with every image. I assume that perfection is possible, and I strive to wring it out of every picture.

Do you ever find yourself within 5% of your goal…. and then you go mess it up?
You're SO close to where you want to be you can practically taste it. Or maybe you're even there already.
But then…
You start to slack off
You start to feel "unmotivated"
You start to avoid the work.
You self sabotage, regressing RIGHT back to where you were before.
I've self sabotaged a LOT of things—
My body. My business. My relationships.
I look around and see it happening to most women, especially other entrepreneurs with your business.
WHY do we do this?
>> Self sabotage is a natural human protection mechanism <<
We all have a "thermometer" in our brains for what is the "normal" state of things // how we see ourselves–with our body, our relationships, money.
This is our safe zone and what we know keeps us safe so far. It's our self-image.
Every time you venture out of it (ESPECIALLY if you succeed RAPIDLY)–the thermometer goes up.
Our human tendency is to regulate back to safety. So if your external world doesn't align with how you see yourself inside… You have to bring it down. Because the success is unknown = it's unsafe.
This is why 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt within 5 years: They get a ton of money quickly but don't see themselves as a rich person inside. They still see themselves as poor and broke, so they pull them selves back down to how they see themselves inside.
Their INNER world doesn't match their OUTER world.
To stop self sabotaging for good you have to actively re-set the thermometer to what is your "normal" for you. With your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and who you surround yourself with.
It's a daily practice.
It's not hard, but most entrepreneurs are simply unwilling do the work for this so will be stuck in the self-sabotaging cycle forever.
Obviously this is a MUCH bigger topic that we go into during coaching together, but here are some tips for you:
1) Understand WHY it's happening: What are your FEARS associated with this level of success?
- What makes you feel like you might not be worthy or deserving of this success?
- What fears do you have with this level of success?
- What self-doubts, hesitations, etc do you have with this level of success?
- Why might your brain and body feel like it's unsafe or disconcerting for you to have this level of success?
- What are the thoughts, beliefs, actions, that you need to have to maintain this level of success? Practice these DAILY.
- Why is it actually very safe (and required) that you maintain this level of success?
- Where are you NOT acting like your higher level self and still acting like your LOWER self // the OLD version of you? (for example maybe you're avoiding managing your money, which is not what your higher self would do)
- COMMUNITY: IS CRUCIAL: If you want to increase your thermometer you MUST be surrounding yourself with fellow entrepreneurs who are at your level OR ABOVE. This will help re-align your NORMAL state for yourself.
- PRACTICE: Re-setting your thermometer is not hard but it DOES require daily practice and shifting of your fundamental beliefs which have been wired in you from a young age. Daily journaling and self-awareness is key.
Understanding your MIND + Mastering FEAR is the KEY to being successful RAPIDLY as an entrepreneur.
Doesn't matter how much strategy or skills you know. If you self-sabotage it and can't manage your mind, it doesn't matter 🙂
Make sure you're in the FEARLESS BOSS LADIES group for more tips and LIVE sessions on how to rapidly LEVEL UP your business with confidence and power:

PS: >> Ready to END the self sabotaging and actually make MONEY in your business?? <<
What you're going through is normal. Self sabotage is normal. But if you don't learn the mental skills to address it, you're going to stay stuck in this cycle forever and never grow to the massive success + impact you KNOW you could have.
If you want to work with me to RISE to your next level, I'm running an 8 week mentorship program for 1% female entrepreneurs to dramatically increase your income and influence. I have not announced this publicly yet but will only be taking 10 people for this (2 spots are already filled).

Blue Shoe got a Restoration Award!
Well, in all truthfulness, not really the house per se, but the contractor got an award for the work he did on my home. He did do a great job... insulation, wood windows, age appropriate siding, plus all the structural work in the basement. As it was phrased in the award ceremony...."an appropriate restoration with a restrictive modest budget"... meaning I was always on them about cost details.

Leo Babauta on Focus, Flow, and Matcha
By Eric Gower Feb 6, 2013
I recently had matcha in SF with the inimitable Leo Babauta. This guy, despite having created an army of fans who love his musings on productivity, happiness, minimalism, frugality, vegetarianism/veganism, health and fitness, setting goals, and many other topics has clearly digested the concept of humility. He has a long list of impressive achievements, yet he's one of the humbler and most self-effacing people I've met in a long time. Check out what he has to say below about "best practices" concerning concentration, focus, and flow. And by all means check out his delightful blog at Zen Habits.
