The Oyster Box Hotel - A shimmering pearl on the Indian Ocean
Situated on the lush tropical coast of KwaZulu-Natal province, the iconic Oyster Box Hotel (a member of LHW) is one of South Africa's most recognizable and awarded luxury properties. The historic white edifice is a well-known landmark on Umhlanga's pristine beachfront, and overlooks an equally famed lighthouse on the Indian Ocean. Originally the site of a modest 19th century beach lodge, this prominent hotel was first opened in 1954. After being acquired in a rather derelict state by Red Carnation Hotels in 2006, an extensive renovation project saw the premises meticulously restored and expanded, opening its doors yet again in late 2009.
The surrounding neighbourhood has a village-like feel and consists mainly of a few other hotels, luxury condos, shops and restaurants. A well kept winding promenade runs along the shore, where runners, families and tourists can observe beautiful vistas of the sea and the distant Durban skyline.
Arriving at The Oyster Box is an elegant affair - you're warmly welcomed by amicable doormen dressed in white safari suits (complete with pith helmets) and shown to the eclectic lobby. Entering through a huge reclaimed antique revolving door instantly transports one to a bygone era of maritime glamor. Inside a myriad of congruous decor elements highlight the hotel's intrinsic interior design.
There are 86 rooms and suites, all with various aesthetic themes and amenities - from expansive sea-facing suites to secluded garden villas with private plunge pools. Although this is technically not a boutique hotel, it certainly feels like one, as impeccable attention to detail prevails all around. The owners' carefully curated collection of artworks, antiques and sculptures adorn the entire building which adds a precious personal touch that fondly reminds of a home, rather than hotel.
My classic sea-facing room was part of a new extension constructed during the refurbishment, even though you'd never guess it. The inviting Cape Cod-style interior featured an uplifting yellow color scheme with botanical fabrics and mirrored surfaces, which cleverly devised an illusion of space. Of course, my favourite part was the private balcony overlooking a manicured green lawn and the shore beyond. A small but stylish bathroom featuring their exclusive B | Africa products and finished in timeless white and brown marble completed my luxury lodgings.
This hotel affords guests a multitude of options when it comes to food and beverage destinations. Its grand central atrium, known as The Palm Court, is the dramatic stage for their celebrated afternoon tea spread. An incredible selection of sweets, savories and other delicacies (all made onsite) are extravagantly displayed in the centre of this lavish yet unpretentious environment. Hence its reputation of being one of the finest places on the continent for taking tea.
The Ocean Terrace, their all-day eatery, is an intricately decorated Moorish-inspired dining hall in tones of turquoise with beautifully latticed walls. The space spills over onto an expansive al fresco patio, where views of the beach and a sparkling swimming pool flanked by crimson umbrellas and eye-catching pinstriped sun loungers lure you outside. This is where you head for a sensational breakfast feast featuring an epic array of local and international favourites. No wonder epicures flock here - come to think of it, that may be for the endless supply of oysters and bubbly... I also recommend having their famous Curry Buffet, which showcases a lip-smacking array of authentic masalas and sambals.
A hotel of this calibre is expected to offer a signature fine dining experience, and The Oyster Box does not disappoint. Gourmands have been reserving their seats (and pleasing their palates) at The Grill Room for nearly 70 years! This intimate, classical restaurant is a sophisticated culinary haven that still present traditional encounters like their Guéridon service (food prepared at your table) and an authentic 1920's Hors d' Oeuvres Trolley, serving delectable 'old fashioned' appetizers. Also, their skillful Maitre'd, Hendry Pakiri, who oversees operations here, has worked at the hotel for over half a century - I can understand why he's never left...
For drinks and snacks there are three trendy bars to choose from. The perfect place for seaside sunset vistas and cocktails is The Lighthouse Bar - with its vibrant plantation-style interior and wraparound veranda, it's often frequented by stylish locals. For oysters and sushi or pre-dinner aperitifs, guests can relax at the fittingly nautical Oyster Bar. Here colonial wicker ceiling fans, a handsome marble bar counter and patterned settees create a breezy atmosphere that'll keep you anchored for a while... Finally, for the loyal pub patrons, there is the punchy Chukka Bar. This tiny taphouse has a lively energy and is conveniently located right off the front entrance of the hotel.
Once you've checked in at The Oyster Box, you literally don't have to leave the property for anything. Apart from the gorgeous surrounding natural environment, the hotel boasts a variety of different leisure facilities. These include a 24-seater cinema, library, gym, swimming pools and a purpose built state-of-the-art spa.
I recommend booking your signature treatment in advance, as this accoladed sanctuary is in high demand. With its 6 tasteful treatment rooms, a marble-clad oriental hammam, plunge pool and dedicated tranquility lounge, hedonists can truly indulge in this sanctum of calm situated in a secluded corner of the jungly gardens.
I spent several hours sun worshipping and lazing around the azure blue swimming pool, confined by luxuriant palm trees. A sprightly troop of monkeys that call this perfect paradise home provided hours of free entertainment. These playful primates have also served as inspiration for several murals and mosaics by gifted artist, Jane du Rand, around the property.
Another permanent inhabitant, and unofficial mascot, of this charming hotel is its furry feline proprietor, Skabenga the cat. Although illusive at times, I was determined to meet this famous furball before my departure. During my last evening I spotted him looking cool as a cucumber on his favored sofa in the foyer. Unfortunately, he wasn't in the mood for an unscheduled photo shoot and refused to strike the right pose for that perfect picture - so I borrowed an image from the hotel. I now follow him on Facebook - and find myself enviously admiring his flawless portraits!
Having looked in at the hotel on several occasions over the last few years, I gathered an idea of the service culture at The Oyster Box. This time, as an in-house guest, I was not surprised that the staff lived up to my steep expectations. There appears to be a tangible camaraderie amongst the employees here - from waitrons to gardeners, chefs and housekeeping personnel, everyone seems to pursue the same common goal: to maintain this exceptional hotel's status as one of the best on the continent. Since its acquisition by the Tollman family, the already reputable level of hospitality excelled exponentially, and firmly established this property as something truly special.
My thoughts
I remain thoroughly impressed by this distinctive yet easygoing beachside retreat. The hotel manages to deliver an unassuming and luxurious first-class experience that is near impossible to fault. When I said goodbye, I realized with a smile just how rare this remarkable place is, and that my return would be inevitable. Its sincere persona and memorable identity founded on an endearing heritage and humble beginnings undeniably makes The Oyster Box a shimmering pearl on the Indian Ocean.
* I was kindly invited by the hotel and my 3 night stay was partly complimentary.

A US man has been detained in Canada and a US bound flight delayed for four hours after authorities found a mock explosive device in his bag.
Joseph Galaska, 58, from Cudahy, Wisconsin was charged with mischief after US customs officers at Toronto's Pearson International Airport found a mock improvised explosive device (IED) inside his bag, City News reports.
Canada is one of several countries that allows US Customs Border Protection to operate on foreign soil.
Galaska was due to board United flight 547 bound for Chicago yesterday morning when he was detained.
"I can't speak to why the person would do that," a US Customs and Border Protection spokesman told CBC News.
"When we encountered it, out of an abundance of caution, we're going to treat it like it's a real thing. And we're going to involve local partners there to ensure it's not a real IED. Fortunately, it turned out to be a fake."
Passengers on board the flight were due to depart shortly after 7am but US port authorities revoked the plane's pre-clearance to enter the US.
Video taken on board the flight showed the United flight's pilot explaining to passengers why their trip had been delayed.
"Throughout my career, I have always been very truthful and honest about situations like these, and I'm going to just do that right now," he said.
The aircraft was taxied to a secure section of the airport where passengers had to wait four hours before disembarking and collecting their luggage. They were then required to undergo further security screenings before re-boarding the flight.
Canada's Minister of Transport Marc Garneau has launched an investigation into the incident.

Returning from that trip I decided to pioneer a Dental Mission. I partnered with Coach Ramey Stroud, a Mill City diver, and Stuart Gow, Director of the Matava Eco-Resort on the island of Kadavu. Together we identified dates for our trip, solicited the cooperation of Air Pacific, the national airline of Fiji, the Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism Association and the Fiji Ministry of Health. Salem Hospital generously shared information about our trip with their staff.
I traveled with Dr. Mike and Mrs. Carrie Litchfield and Dr. Sean Hanson of Salem and Jim and Gina Jepsen from Ione, Oregon. Dave Beard from Tasmania met us at Matava and joined our team.

For the last 75 years, especially during times of economic uncertainty, families have counted on the certainty of federal deposit insurance. "The American people can rest comfortably knowing that their FDIC-insured deposits are 100 percent safe," said FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair. "In fact, there's no safer place in the world for their checking, savings or retirement money." How can you make sure all your deposits are safely protected within the federal insurance limits?
Learn the rules for deposit insurance coverage. In particular, be aware that Congress has temporarily raised the basic deposit insurance coverage from at least $100,000 to at least $250,000 per depositor, through (under current law) December 31, 2009. That means, through 2009, if you (or your family) have up to $250,000 in your deposit accounts at one insured bank, you don't need to be concerned about the safety of your money.
Also remember that you may qualify for more than the basic insurance coverage at one insured bank if the funds are held in different "ownership categories." For example, under existing law, if a couple has deposits in single accounts, joint accounts and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) at the same bank, through year-end 2009, they could qualify for up to $1.5 million of FDIC insurance coverage (see table).
An example of how FDIC Insurance can add up:
Husband's Single Account: $250,000
Wife's Single Account: $250,000
Husband and Wife's Joint Account: $500,000
Husband's IRA: $250,000
Wife's IRA: $250,000
Total Insurance Coverage: $1,500,000
In addition, if you have deposits in another category called revocable trust accounts — typically payable-on-death and living trust accounts — you'd receive up to $250,000 in FDIC insurance coverage for each beneficiary.
That means a revocable trust account owned by a husband and wife naming four beneficiaries would be insured up to $2 million. (The husband is insured up to $1 million because he has named four beneficiaries, and the same applies to the wife.)
If you have more than $250,000 at one insured institution, find out if it is fully insured. It's especially important to take a closer look at your deposit insurance coverage after an unusually large deposit, such as after a home sale, an inheritance, or if you "roll over" a large company pension into an IRA at a bank.
Another time to review your insurance coverage would be after the death of a joint account owner or a beneficiary on a revocable trust deposit account. Likewise, look at your deposit insurance if you have accounts at two institutions that merge.

Philippians 4:8: "Whatever is pure…think on these things."
If we are to "take every thought captive" (2 Cor. 10:5, NASB), then we need to know what kinds of things deserve to be let in. Everything else gets entry refused.
Philippians 4:8 gives us a checklist of descriptions about things we should be thinking: true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, worthy to be repeated, virtuous, and praiseworthy. Today we will be looking at the fourth in this list: pure.
What does the word pure really mean? How can we ingest thoughts and images that are pure? And is it really that important?
Purity has so many different connotations. Did Paul mean "clean," "holy," "unadulterated," "sanctified" or "set apart," or pure sexually, as in "chastity" or "virginity"? The Greek word hagnos comes from the root hagios, which means holy, set apart, & sanctified. But it also has the idea of chaste, unpolluted, undefiled. It can mean strictly sexually pure (the Septuagint's Greek translation of Gen. 39:7-12 regarding Joseph), but it seems in this very general list of good traits in Philippians, a broader meaning of "clean" or "holy" is implied.
Titus 1:15-16: To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work (ESV).
What are we Ingesting?
I'm going to take this opportunity to rant about the filthiness of most TV shows and movies these days. If you don't want to be convicted about what you nourish your mind with, skip this section. 😊
We all—including myself—need to take a moment of self-evaluation. Ask yourself, while I'm asking myself again, "Is what I'm watching, reading, or listening to considered 'clean' by the Bible's standards? Would I be pleased or ashamed to have Jesus come watch TV with me or read my magazines or go out to the movies with me or browse the Internet with me?" Because He is with us all the time. We take Him along with us while we do all these things.
I know that I often need to remind myself of His constant presence, because my standards can so easily slip down again. I'll give you a very specific example. I used to love the movie, "Kate and Leopold," with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman. I'm intrigued with anything to do with time travel, and I love a good romance. ❤ However, this particular movie has quite a bit of cussing in it. I decided at one point that it wasn't helping me to keep my mind clear but instead was helping the temptation to swear to grow even stronger. So I gave away the movie.
Then just recently, I found "Kate and Leopold" again on Netflix. I didn't have to spend any more money to buy the movie again, so I watched it a couple of times. Each time I watched it, I remembered the reason I gave it away in the first place. I tried to ignore it and not let the cursing even enter my mind. That works some, but only to a certain extent. The cussing does eventually dirty my mind.
It's just not a wise use of two hours of my life. If I want to relax and watch a movie, there are plenty of other cleaner movies out there to spend my time on. It's hard to give up such a great movie! There are so many good things about it! But that one impure quality was hindering my walk with the Lord, not helping it. So, off of my To-Watch-List it goes. I don't know about you, but I personally need a constant reminder to Keep my Thoughts on Track.
Purity is Practical
1 Tim. 5:2: Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters (NLT).
2 Cor. 6:3-10: We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry. In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by our sincere love. We faithfully preach the truth. God's power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense. We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors. We are ignored, even though we are well known. We live close to death, but we are still alive. We have been beaten, but we have not been killed. Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.
The Bible tells wives specifically to be pure:
1 Pet. 3:1-2: Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives when they see your pure and reverent demeanor (Berean Study Bible).
And the church specifically to be pure (like a wife, the Bride of Christ):
2 Cor. 11: 2-4: For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ. But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
The Bible tells young people specifically to be pure:
1 Tim. 4:12: Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity (ESV).
Psalm 119:9: How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word (NLT).
Purity is a goal for all of us to work toward:
1 John 3:3: And everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as He is pure (ESV).
James 1:27: Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you (NLT).
James 3:17: But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere (NIV).
1 Tim. 1:5: The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith NLT).
Prov. 15:26: The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but gracious words are pure (ESV).
I still remember a visual demonstration that my youth pastor, Robert Cooke, showed us in high school. He took a bowl full of mud and asked us if this mud could ever be clean. Then he slowly added cup after cup of pure water. It made a little bit bigger mess than he anticipated, so we moved the demonstration into the kitchen. 😉 It took several minutes, but eventually, the pure water cleared away all the impurities and left a completely clear bowl.
The point was that it's never too late to change our thinking habits. Even if our mind has been sullied to the point that we think it's too far gone, it's not. If we stop putting more mud in, and start putting pure things in, our minds will eventually be cleansed and purified. Of course, the opposite is true, too. If we continue to fill our minds with gunk, they will never be clean and pure. It's our choice.
So when the Bible here in Philippians tells us to think on pure things, I think it means to think about things that are clean, undefiled, good and right, things that don't sully our minds with any minutiae of sin; the ultimate would of course always be God. It's always good to meditate about God and His Word.
Do you have a specific example of something the Lord has convicted you of but that you don't want to let go of, like my movie example? Please share in the comments below or in our Facebook Group, Practical Living for Christian Women! We won't judge. We all struggle with this. Let us pray for each other and hold each other accountable. (Feel free to ask me every once in a while if I've added "Kate and Leopold" back onto my list! Just the possibility of you asking will help me remember not to.) 😊
Next in the series on Philippians 4:8: "Whatever is Lovely."

On February 12, 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded by a multiracial group of activists, who answered "The Call." They initially called themselves the National Negro Committee. The founders were Ida Wells-Barnett, W.E.B. DuBois, Henry Moscowitz, Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Villard, and William English Walling. The group was formed partly in response to the horrific practice of lynching and a 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois, that was sparked by the lynching of two African American men. Many of their formative meetings were held at the Michigan Street Baptist Church in Buffalo, New York. The NAACP led a long campaign against lynching and established itself as a legal advocate with a series of early court battles. The organization battled D.W. Griffith's 1915 film, "Birth of a Nation," which contained demeaning stereotypes of blacks and glorified the KKK. In 1930, the association laid the groundwork for reversing the separate-but-equal doctrine that had governed public facilities since 1896. The campaign ultimately led to the U.S. Supreme Court's historic school segregation decision in 1954, Brown vs. Board of Education.
Some issues of importance included desegregation of eating places, fair housing, job opportunities, and placement of teachers and administrators in the public schools. The naming of a Lincoln Street "Rosa Parks Way" was a community effort that was led by the Lincoln Branch.
The real story of the nation's most significant civil rights organization lies in the hearts and minds of the people who would not stand still while the rights of some were denied.

What's Your Social Media Voice? - 201–202
You're doing everything right in social media marketing: you've got buy-in from bosses, a strategy for success and your ROI is all figured out. But if you don't have a brand voice, you'll never get from mediocre to amazing. We all know that a social media voice gives a brand a chance to develop a personality and style all its own. But what is your voice—is it hip, communal, playful, educational, sophisticated, fun, irreverent, inspirational, helpful or a million other adjectives? So how do you find your brand's voice?
This session will explore:
Culture – how your corporate culture's hallmarks can be uniquely represented in social media
Community – how your community communicates on social media and how to find the right social media tone
Social Media Channel – how to change to a brand personality that is comfortable, conversational and relatable, and entices your audience to engage in a way that optimizes any social media platform

Taylor & Zach
Rain? It's good luck, right?
Taylor and Zach's wedding at La Massaria in Gilbertsville was nothing short of beautiful, even though it really did pour most of the day. Their families and bridal party were troopers when I drug them outside between rain drops and it really made for some beautiful vibrant outdoor photos! Luckily, while it was pouring, La Massaria has beautiful windows for indoor portraits! Excited to finally share this one. Enjoy! xo

I love how you are handling the attacks with authenticity and compassion for your ego. I love how you continue to live and teach practical spirituality, seeing the lure of theoretical spirituality and refusing to fall for it.
Results bring the greatest redemption. As you stated, if you keep winning soon there can be no denying your talent. Each of us who has benefited from your teachings is a win for you. We will not be swayed by any attack on you from anyone. We will share the benefits of your teachings with others who trust us. I would love to see a changing of the current consensus through this natural, grass-root movement.
Thank you so much for being who you are and teaching what you teach. You are leading us into that new society you dream of.
Posted September 17, 2016
I can truly appreciate someone who can actually be honest about their ego and how they feel. It is such a rare quality.
I have wrestled with the whole "good/evil", "dark/light" thing. The aspects of ourselves are each part of the truth of our being. If we really seek to understand the nature of ourselves, we need to be able to look at ourselves wholly. It seems to me that intent is the only real "good" or "evil".
To speak of what would be viewed by many as a character flaw within ourselves requires courage. If we continue to do this, I see that people can gain understanding of the higher nature of self.
We suffer. The pain that is blinding people requires that we do exactly what you have done to heal...tell the truth.
I find that by doing that very thing, the walls of judgement and fear get pretty damn soft. When we bare ourselves to others with humility and respect, the being inside of them finds a safe place.
Well done!
Dearest Teal, - well done! Your thoughts and observations s o resonate with me. Words can't express the gratitude I feel towards you, your way of teaching, your being deciding to survive your past, your courage and strength to "keep going" despite incredible challenges.
know that you are so loved, understood, appreciated and treasured. Always.
See you:-)!
Dear Teal,as a Reflector (HDS) you were born to reflect. Every aspect of the life brings. And you're so magnificent and wonderful. I am so grateful that I found you here. Your process with all the impasses is like a compass for me. He keeps me in the direction of the I know deep inside that it is coherent.Thank you for letting me participate in your "development". I wish you a bold progression. May your light shine even brighter. Much love
"The powerlessness inherent in being accused of something you did not do, but having no one on your side..."
This is absolutely not the case, as I will show. I have been watching this situation for some time, in detail, and have become very well acquainted with the stinking unfairness of it, the exaggerations, distortions, misconstructions, all of it. Many of your detractors might quite rightly be called "haters" in that they appear to detest the very breath that you breathe and unconsciously misinterpret every explanation or overture that you make, no matter how truthful, vulnerably given or well meaning it may be. If you maintain silence, they say "Why isn't she addressing our allegations?- Because she can't, that's why!" But the moment you do (even exhaustively, as with your wholly adequate book comparison) they cry "Ha! Look, she's 'explaining herself' - we've got her on the run!" And if there came a day when everything had been explained, they would be only left with their hate, without a convenient hook to hang it on. Give these people ammunition and they will unhesitatingly shoot you dead with it without a second thought. Central among the agitators are, I see, a superficially meticulous "poison pen" whose particular specialty is "taking the moral high ground" by casting your activities in the most dubious light possible and crying foul (which she does by misinterpreting the context of your actions and ignoring alternate explanations); a basically fanatical, sexually repressed religious zealot who is presently (you must have seen) degenerating into literally laughable and embarrassing excesses of almost villain in movie egoism (imagining now that all the gods of India stand behind her mean-spirited and demonstrably half-baked mission); and that former indigo child, another fanatic whose mind was changed by the new 'big man' in her life, although in her case towards materialism.
There are others, and then you have, basically, "mob", the relatively mindless satellites who believe things instantly just because someone said so, particularly if it's bad, because then they get to attack a 'manifestation' of the amorphous evil bogeyman that has been making them feel shitty forever. And they get to experience validation: say something unpleasant about Teal, however fatuous or fictitious, and they'll get an avalanche of 'likes.' Way to go.
Anyway, all of this only goes to show that I, and others, can discern some of what is happening. In terms of practical support, I have various suggestions which I believe may be helpful in permanently addressing these issues. If you want to hear my two cents worth, you have my contact details.
Great example Teal and well written. Thank you for your authenticity. I was bullied when I was little and we are all bullied at some point when we are adults too. Ugh. It only made me stronger in many ways. Jealousy is such a strong emotion. Spirituality as you know is experiential. It's not book smarts, it's street smarts. Many many people do not have street smarts. School of Life because of their programming. I did come to the conclusion that ascension is unconditional love after 2 years of daily practice. Wow this love thing is really buried eh? So I understand you simply can't tell people to start unconditionally love people lol. What are your suggestions to a spiritual guide/teacher? Baby steps I know. You should write a guide on the phases/stages of spirituality. ? Sorry, if you have already done this... In the meantime I am thinking of questions for your Toronto workshop.
thats beautiful Teal
I used to always be accused of something I did not do. I have cried so many times because I am not understood and it didnt matter what I said, no one believed me.
Now I see that I was a threat to them and so it was easier to accuse me.
Thank you for this post.
I love you n I cant wait to see you in Dublin (oh yeah baby
The noisy poltergeist in my room needs to read this.
love and peace,
Probably one of my favorite blogs.
"It is very dangerous to not be aware of the activity of your own ego. It is especially dangerous when you are not aware of the activity of your own ego when you are a spiritual teacher, with thousands of people looking to you for guidance. "
Thank you ^
And thanks for being authentic and logical with the Ego. Ironically, people who condemn the ego and act like they've shut it off are viewing the Ego from such an Ego perspective.
Great post Teal. You pretty much described two things I struggle with:
1) authenticity , because I live in Utah and most of my closest friends are mormons. I disapprove the mormon church and the Mormon religion for several reasons,but mainly because we were bullied by mormon church leaders in the area we live in orem. I like to say what I think and feel with respect, but my mormon friends still get defensive and take it like if i am attacking them or disaproving of them. My visiting teachers stopped calling me and stopped visiting with me after one of these authentic conversations. They said once they would be my friends for ever but that changed when I expressed my discontent with their church. Now I dont say what I really think anymore to my other mormon friends. We talk and deep inside , I know I'm withholding information . It's hard not to hate myself when I do this. I feel like a hypocrite. How cancan I be authentic and not loose my friends in the process?
2) when we were bullied the leadership told us to forgive and forget but never explained how to do this and seemed very disappointed when we were not able to to do this. It was like we were doing this on purpose. At some point we received a letter from the mormon first presidency saying that " we were troubled waters since we were not able to move on". They placed the responsibility of their failure to help us on us. We felt guilty for a long time because we tried to forgive but it just didn't happen automatically like they wanted. Today, we still struggle with moving from the mormon religious life to a secular life. We resigned our membership but we struggle with anger, depression, feelings of betrayal, loss of self identify and loss of life meaning and many other issues. How can we heal from religious trauma? How can we move on to a new life? It's not automatic for sure.
Posted September 18, 2016
I share the same dream of a newer society. I hope it comes true and faith is getting stronger day by day.
Posted September 18, 2016
It is common for spiritual teachers to face resistance, as their growth automatically touches the wounds of others. This cannot be helped. Examples includes Lord Buddha and Jesus. By using them as a model, Teal will know that she is not the only one. She will have models to fall back upon. She will see that she is walking the path she is meant to be.
On the other hand, concerning the issue of faith: this is the first step of many religious or spiritual seekers. When they encounter difficulties that faith alone is insufficient, they will be guided to the next step. I can say tt because I have walked this path before.
Hello, Teal's ego! I like you, and celebrate your work and I'm glad to know the truth about you, instead of believing lies. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing this, Teal. I am so grateful to have a teacher friend who is aware of her own ego (add that to the list). Some days, especially recently, the concensus has been my nemisis and the world feels like a game of dodgeball. Thank you for showing that through The Completion Process and inner child work that there is, and always is, a way to heal, give compassion to one's self, and share. That.ego can be acknowledged. And that everyone can have worth. I stand with you always and think it is kick ass that you rock at spelling. Love you.

Copy of Walnut Pickers of Arslanbob
It's the favourite time of year. As the summer heat subsides and the air clears, villagers living on the slopes of Kyrgyzstan's Fergana Range head to the forests to gather walnuts.
Loading their ex-Soviet military jeeps with tarpaulins, blankets and kitchen utensils, they prepare to spend a month living beneath the canopies of the forest.
Kyrgyzstan's fertile Fergana Valley is home to some of the largest intact stands of walnut trees on earth. Legend has it that Alexander the Great, having conquered this region in the 4th Century BC, brought some of the walnuts home with him to Greece and they were subsequently scattered around the Globe.
Families each rent a parcel of land where they set up camp and spend their days scouring the forest floor for walnuts. The money they earn from selling the nuts at market is around 2-300 US dollars which provides a valuable additional income in a society where the average income is less than $1,000.
But it's not all hard work. It's treated as a bit of a holiday and children are given a free pass from school. Families from adjoining plots gather together to drink tea and share picnics around open fires and children can be heard laughing and chatting as they run around with cotton bags filled with walnuts.
During Soviet times the forests were owned by the state and workers were employed to pick walnuts which were exported throughout the USSR. After the collapse of communism, and the hard times that followed, the very survival of the forests were deemed at risk as Russian forest management schemes broke down and people were tempted to fell trees for firewood. People were forced to keep livestock which they let roam uncontrollably in the forests resulting in young saplings being eaten.
Since that time international NGOs and forestry experts have helped to slow the post-Soviet degradation and replace it with a collaborative one that gives more power and a profit incentive to local residents. However, animals do continue to graze in the forests and local say they don' t have the funds to pay for new planting, particularly when late frosts have impacted the harvest for the past 2 years, something they blame on climate change.

parenting support
Parenting is harder than ever. Parents find themselves facing challenges that no other parents in history have had to face, while living in a society which is not always supportive to parenting.
Challenges include:
- Rapid advances in technology; cell phones, social media, video games.
- Economic difficulties making it necessary for parents to work more, be available less and still come up short financially.
- Mobility leads to disconnection from the support of family of origin and friends.
- Media is always present or readily available, but not always in line with a family's values or appropriate for children.
- Conflict around how to parent.
This does not even include typical parenting challenges; such as discipline, setting rules and limits, communication, special needs children, behavioral problems, blended families, addictions, etc. It can be overwhelming.
In general, childhood is one long learning process and parents are the coaches, gently guiding these children through life. A parent's fears or anxieties may cause even well-meaning parents make some of the following common parenting mistakes:
- Parents prevent their children from experiencing negative feelings. The child's happiness becomes their main goal. Children need to experience a whole range of emotions and learn how to regulate.
- Parents take away free, unstructured play. It helps them develop knowledge and skills. When children are overscheduled, they may not learn how to problem solve or think creatively.
- Children are burdened with parents' expectations for them. There is a difference between being encouraging and forcing a child into a role.
- Parents make children responsible for the parent's emotional state. Children learn early on what makes their parent happy or keeps them calm. Some children take on this role at the expense of their own growth and development.
- Not allow them to have their own thoughts and feelings. Children are often invalidated and taught to ignore their feelings.
Well-meaning parents may not have had good parenting role models or may feel confused by advice. Seeking the help of a professional offers a chance to explore your own parental anxieties which interfere in your ability to see clearly what your child really needs and is capable of. A therapist can help you navigate parenting challenges, set limits and respond without emotional reactivity to your children. A therapist can help couples learn how to parent together, despite differences in parenting styles.
Although there are many books on parenting, one of my favorites is:
Screamfree Parenting: The Revoluntionary Approach to Raising Your Kids by Keeping Your Cool by Hal Edward Runkel www.screamfree.com
Also helpful is the Parenting with Love and Logic program: https://www.loveandlogic.com/parents

FIDO Alliance (Fast Identity Online Alliance) is an industry consortium that was introduced in 2013 to amplify online security, bringing in stronger authentication to safeguard the interests of the people all round the globe. Today, they have brought in a 'FIDO Certified' testing program that measures the level of compliance. Hence, products or services having the 'FIDO Certified' logo will prove that the company has a high-quality interoperable FIDO implementation that will work with other services and products with the same certification. In short, the consortium has stepped up to finally bring an end to the password.
Sources pointed out that 18 different companies have already received their FIDO certification, thus making way for interoperating services to take effect in the near future. However, these aren't comprehensive enough and wouldn't do away with the password right away. Instead, once it is deployed, people will have a robust alternative to keying in a string of gibberish characters. The FIDO specification was first published in December, establishing the ground rules of the post-password authentication. A FIDO system can accept a user login from any FIDO-certified device, whether it uses a fingerprint scanner, a voiceprint detector or any form of technology that is still outside our reach.
During the launch of the certification program, Brett McDowell, Executive Director of the FIDO Alliance, said that the program has been brought in to satiate the need of a revolutionary online security standard that is uniform across all products and services and is interoperable as well. The Alliance has laid down simple logo using terms that allow potential websites and other parties to demonstrate their support for FIDO.
People close to the project pointed out that Google's login service was the biggest system to receive FIDO's certification as a two-factor server. However, the Alliance sees the two-factor authentication as a mere stepping stone. In fact, many FIDO certified services have already moved beyond the two-step process into a more ambitious territory. Having said that, companies like Alibaba, Bank of America and Visa, all are FIDO certified but are yet to roll out the FIDO compatible login system.
The FIDO Alliance is here to change the state of online security and bring in a more robust, but simpler authentication program which will eventually phase out the way we login into systems and services, making them interoperable and reducing their reliance on passwords.

Handling & Care for Mister Alphabet
Your safety is of utmost importance to us, so thank you for handling Mister Alphabet with care.
Due to the fragile nature of Mister Alphabet, the following Precautions should be taken when handling him:
Please keep out of reach of small children. Children under the age of 6 should not handle the doll under any circumstances.
Children under the age of 10 should be accompanied by an adult at all times when handling Mister Alphabet | Porcelain.
If any porcelain component should break, set Mister Alphabet aside and carefully clean up any sharp fragments; small fragments can break free in addition to larger pieces
If any magnet or wire becomes visible or loose inside the hands or feet, set any parts aside including Mister Alphabet, to be assessed for possible repair. (Contact us below to discuss).
Below are some Recommendations that will help ensure Mister Alphabet does not experience too much stress:
Handle the figurine gently, being careful not to smash any porcelain parts together by shaking or dropping the figurine.
We recommend occasional use but not continual use, bending sparingly for a longer "shelf life".
The head, hands, and feet should not be pulled or twisted assertively. Parts may become loosened from the armature if bent or pulled with force.
Porcelain is a fine clay—a silicate that vitrifies (melts) and becomes glass-like when heated to maturity. Porcelain is very strong—stronger than steel in some regards—yet is susceptible to shattering if dropped or struck with a hard object. Depending on the angle of impact and the thickness of porcelain, a porcelain piece might simply bounce—unharmed—even off of concrete.
Porcelain without glaze is sometimes referred to as "raw" porcelain. We favor such porcelain for its aesthetic qualities including a matte sheen and breathable surface. However, this surface is porous and susceptible to stains in a similar manner to raw wood or canvas. Without a protective layer, the stain seeps into layers of material deeper than the topmost layer, making it difficult to clean. Although we provide a light coating of matte ceramic protectant, if your porcelain face becomes stained or damaged, contact us for ways to address the issue. Methods of repair may include light grinding stones or certain kinds of sanding techniques or paints.
Rare-Earth Neodymium Magnets
The following warnings pertain mostly to exposed, loose Neodymium magnets. However, as a precaution, please be aware that Mister Alphabet's magnets are to be handled with caution, especially around anyone with a pacemaker.
Keep neodymium magnets away from all children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Do not allow children to handle or play with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attach to each other through intestinal walls causing serious injuries and even death.
Keep neodymium magnets away from anyone with a pacemaker.
Neodymium magnets create strong magnetic fields around them, which can interfere with pacemakers, ICDs and other implanted medical devices. This is because many of these devices are made with a feature that deactivates the device in a magnetic field.
Keep neodymium magnets away from your wallet, computer and TV.
The strong magnetic fields emanating from neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes or other such devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic appliances.
Keep neodymium magnets away from your GPS and smartphone.
Magnetic fields interfere with compasses or magnetometers used in navigation for air and sea transport, as well as the internal compasses of smartphone and GPS devices.
Neodymium magnets can corrode.
Our magnets are finished with a nickel plating, and this coating provides enough protection for most applications. But remember, neodymium magnets are not waterproof. They will rust or corrode in the presence of moisture. If used underwater, outdoors or in a moist environment, they can corrode and lose magnetic strength.
Dating back to the 1920s, viscose is a semi-synthetic material which should be washed by hand to avoid damaging the fibers. Commonly used in textiles, viscose rayon and is made from cellulose—a fiber that is neither fully natural nor fully synthetic—made from trees or grasses such as bamboo. Mister Alphabet's rayon/spandex clothing is permanently affixed to the figurine and is not meant to be tampered with or removed. General stains should not be treated with bleach or harsh chemicals. Follow general guides for spot removal from natural white fabrics, using mild soap and water and blotting techniques. Do not machine wash Mister Alphabet…he doesn't like it.
Other Questions?
We hope you can enjoy Mister Alphabet for a long, long time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.


text: The combination of Wood Handrails with Wrought Iron Balusters has proven to be the most versatile and enduring development in architectural interior design in modern times. The warmth, comfort and tone of a wood handrail coupled with the virtually unlimited design possibilities of wrought iron have made this type of system the design of choice for architects, designers and home owners. Rather than repeating a single baluster through out a system, wrought iron balusters are varied in patterns that further increase the scope of design possibilities. From simple elegant, to rustic to luxurious and everything in between you can achieve a beautiful and unique combination using these two different media. Here are just a few examples of our recent projects.

Androstenone Pheromone Concentrate - the Effects of Pheromones - an IntroductionThe term scent comes from 2 Greek words: pherein ("to transfer") and hormon, which suggests "to promote". Pheromone medical definition chemical compounds released by one individual that affect the sexual physiology and habits of another person.
You're looking for the female or male of your dreams, remember that pheromones in your body scent are playing a large role in mate attraction. People who use commercial scent items assert that the product (scent perfume, perfume or oil) they use boosts their beauty to members of the opposite sex. But it's not simply sexual attraction that is increased by using scents. Users of pheromone fragrances report that individuals pay more focus on them and are generally more friendly to them.
People can Not Purposely Spot Another Person's Scents, I.EWe cannot "smell" them in the conventional sense. But, if scents are undetectable by the human sense of odor, how can people be affected by pheromones? The answer is human pheromone production detected by an organ inside the nose called the vomeronasal organ (VNO). The VNO passes the signals that pheromones send out, on to the part of the brain which governs some basic human feelings, like love, hate, anger and, naturally, sexual arousal. Making such an intriguing anecdote on Pheromones took a lot of time and hard work. So it would be boosting to us to find out that you have made great use of this hard work!
Male scents play a role in preserving the health of females, especially the health of the female reproductive system. Scientists have actually discovered that women who have sex with guys at least once a week are more likely to have typical menstrual cycles, fewer infertility difficulties and a milder menopause than women who have sporadic sex. We can happily say that there is no competition to the meaning of Pheromones, when comparing this short article with other articles on Scents discovered on the internet.
- Because 1870 researchers have actually known about scents and taped the effects of scents on mating in insects and other animal species.
- In 1986 the researchers showed the existence of human scents and started to document their impacts on human beings.

Study results, recently reported in the August issue of Chest, indicate that exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the upper arms, shoulders and chest improve the ability of individuals with COPD to perform normal activities of daily living.
The exercises involved lift weights in five differing movements, designed to activate the pectoralis, deltoids, triceps, trapezius and biceps muscles.
This study has implications for both clinical practitioners in designing pulmonary rehabilitiation programs as well as individuals in the home environment. Increasing the strength and responsiveness of the upper extremities and chest not only increase the strength of the extremities and chest, assisting with respiration and activities of daily living, but also increase the general energy levels of the individuals. Fatigue was decreased significantly, as was the sensation of shortness of breath, encouraging study participants to increase their overall activity levels.
When an individual is short of breath and easily fatigued, exercise can be intimidating and difficult to initiate. Beginning with a less taxing form of exercising, such as seated arm exercises, could assist individuals with COPD to take those steps toward regaining some measure of control of their life. While exercise will not reverse some of the effects of COPD, it can significantly slow the progression of the disease and enhance the quality of life.
