Aphorisms -- in context.
Here I barely touch upon the problem of the origin of Christianity. The first thing necessary to its solution is this: that Christianity is to be understood only by examining the soil from which it sprung–it is not a reaction against Jewish instincts; it is their inevitable product; it is simply one more step in the awe-inspiring logic of the Jews. In the words of the Saviour, "salvation is of the Jews."1)–The second thing to remember is this: that the psychological type of the Galilean is still to be recognized, but it was only in its most degenerate form (which is at once maimed and overladen with foreign features) that it could serve in the manner in which it has been used: as a type of the Saviour of mankind.–
The Jews are the most remarkable people in the history of the world, for when they were confronted with the question, to be or not to be, they chose, with perfectly unearthly deliberation, to be at any price: this price involved a radical falsification of all nature, of all naturalness, of all reality, of the whole inner world, as well as of the outer. They put themselves against all those conditions under which, hitherto, a people had been able to live, or had even been permitted to live; out of themselves they evolved an idea which stood in direct opposition to natural conditions–one by one they distorted religion, civilization, morality, history and psychology until each became a contradiction of its natural significance. We meet with the same phenomenon later on, in an incalculably exaggerated form, but only as a copy: the Christian church, put beside the "people of God," shows a complete lack of any claim to originality. Precisely for this reason the Jews are the most fateful people in the history of the world: their influence has so falsified the reasoning of mankind in this matter that today the Christian can cherish anti-Semitism without realizing that it is no more than the final consequence of Judaism.
In my "Genealogy of Morals" I give the first psychological explanation of the concepts underlying those two antithetical things, a noble morality and a ressentiment morality, the second of which is a mere product of the denial of the former. The Judaeo-Christian moral system belongs to the second division, and in every detail. In order to be able to say Nay to everything representing an ascending evolution of life–that is, to well-being, to power, to beauty, to self-approval–the instincts of ressentiment, here become downright genius, had to invent an other world in which the acceptance of life appeared as the most evil and abominable thing imaginable. Psychologically, the Jews are a people gifted with the very strongest vitality, so much so that when they found themselves facing impossible conditions of life they chose voluntarily, and with a profound talent for self-preservation, the side of all those instincts which make for décadence–not as if mastered by them, but as if detecting in them a power by which "the world" could be defied. The Jews are the very opposite of décadents: they have simply been forced into appearing in that guise, and with a degree of skill approaching the non plus ultra of histrionic genius they have managed to put themselves at the head of all décadent movements (–for example, the Christianity of Paul–), and so make of them something stronger than any party frankly saying Yes to life. To the sort of men who reach out for power under Judaism and Christianity,–that is to say, to the priestly class–décadence is no more than a means to an end. Men of this sort have a vital interest in making mankind sick, and in confusing the values of "good" and "bad," "true" and "false" in a manner that is not only dangerous to life, but also slanders it.

Hi, I'm James and I run Crank Creative from my base in Lane Cove, Sydney. After discovering the magic of capturing still images at a young age, I've never been without a camera in hand. It has proved to be an enduring and insatiable love that I cannot shake - it has allowed me a medium through which to display the world through my eyes. An image is a moment of time portrayed in a way of my choosing, beautiful in a very specific way.
I have worked in the media and arts industry for just over a decade now, initially starting in broadcast. With that foot in the door, I was able to combine imagery and my other undying passion, motorcycles. This allowed me to write and shoot both full time and freelance for various motorcycle publications. While I'm still working in that capacity, it didn't completely satiate me. I first picked up a camera to shoot people and to catch a very particular beauty. This is why I had to turn my attention back to that - people. No two people are exactly alike - every single time I pick up a camera to shoot someone new, I know it will be a challenge because every individual has their own nuances, quirks, personality, shape, style and confidence. Each image I create has to produce a visceral reaction and a certain awe. There is no such thing as an image for the sake of an image in my world.
Shooting is my quiet time - it is a time where all other things fade away into obsolescence and I have the space in which to create something unimaginably beautiful.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Named Their Baby… What?
We've been dying to know. We're sure you have too. What is the name of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's baby? Well, the wait is finally over as the two have finally publicly announced their choice.
The couple had their baby daughter around two months ago, but ever since then, the name had been a secret… until now. Rumors have floated around suggesting that the couple was going to name their child "Violet" but those turned out to be untrue. The real name is quite a bit less traditional and familiar… at least for a girl.
The name the couple chose for their baby daughter is: "James." If you're thinking that sounds like a boy's name, try to remember that Blake's name is, well, Blake. And hey, this is the year 2015!
But it is easy to tell that the couple is very happy and excited about their little bundle of joy. Reynolds spoke about parenting at this past Sundance Festival: "The best thing about it — well, everything's great about it, the least impressive thing is the complete lack of sleep."
We hope you and James can get both some sleep, Ryan.

Acne Sarasota
What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition in which hair follicles become plugged with body oils and dead skin cells. The affected areas are typically those with the highest concentration of sebaceous glands, including the face, chest, shoulders, and back. These areas produce a natural lubricant called sebum that helps protect your skin and hair. During acne outbreaks, these glands tend to overproduce, so the excess amounts of sebum become a problem and a perfect host for the bacteria that create acne. The plugged pore starts to bulge, creating a typical pimple. If the follicle is open to air, a blackhead forms, and if it's covered over, the pus within remains white.
What causes acne?
Acne seems to be triggered by hormone production. The hormonal changes that happen during adolescence can enlarge and stimulate the sebaceous glands for some people. Acne is sometimes seen during pregnancy and among some birth control pill users, confirming the hormonal link. There are certain ties between diet and acne, however research is ongoing, without fully-established relationships.
How is acne treated?
There are a number of topical and oral medications that may help reduce the intensity and severity of acne outbreaks. Though it may seem counterintuitive, washing the face more often or more vigorously generally aggravates the condition. A combination of lasers and facial peels can also be implemented to improve acne treatment outcomes.
Types of Acne Treatments Include:
- Over-the-Counter Topical Treatments. You can cleanse twice a day with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and apply a benzoyl peroxide gel or cream. This will assist in drying up the oil and killing any bacteria.
- Treatments Available by Prescription. If your acne doesn't respond to over the counter treatments, prescription treatments should be your next step. There are many types of topical antibiotics and antibacterial to assist in addressing the acne. Retin-A is a common treatment with minimal side-effects which include irritation or sun sensitivity. Your doctor or dermatologist will determine the best course of action based on your specific acne situation. Oral Antibiotics may be recommended for moderate to severe acne to help eliminate the bacteria and decrease inflammation caused by acne.
- Other Forms of Acne Treatment. Includes drugs that block hormone receptors, Isotretinoin, oral contraceptives, laser light therapy, chemical peels, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and laser resurfacing. For those with permanent scarring there are surgical procedures available.

The subcompact crossover sector is the fastest expanding section currently. Crossovers are turning out to be the progressed type of sedans, with an increasing number of people choosing cars with raised position and an SUV appearance. It looks like Mazda has actually taken a note of the exact same and has lastly released the freshened 2019 Mazda CX-3, three years after its launch, to bring in a bigger share of the pie. After selling an average of 1500 systems per month considering that its inception, the car remained in determined demand of a refresh to consider that number an increase.
2019 Mazda CX-3 Redesign
As it is with all the cars in this pseudo-SUV segment, the CX-3 obtains an upright stance with a challenging face that will certainly stand apart in the group. Although it obtains moderate updates over the previous design, the CX-3 appears looking handsome in 2019 attire. A brand-new Soul Red Crystal shade has actually been included too.
The chrome on the grille boundary is extended to the within the headlamps as well. Brownie points to Mazda for incorporating it so flawlessly.
If you're a fan of chrome therapies, you will not be dissatisfied. The chrome accents start in advance and continuously the side profile as well– on the window sills and door cladding. A fold, starting from the headlights, runs completely to the front doors. This not just includes a little funkiness to the sides, but also adds personality to the otherwise plain-jane appearance.
The car gets blackened out B-pillars and C-pillars, offering it kind of a floating-roof look. The CX-3 rides on 18-inch, 10-spoke alloys that fill up the large wheel wells fairly well. We would certainly've liked a gunmetal finish to the existing chrome alloys, but they go well along with the various other chrome accents on the body.
Step inside the car, and you'll be welcomed by a familiar looking layout. The facility console obtains a little tweaking occasionally, however nothing significant. The guiding wheel fits completely well in the hands, and the placed controls are also ergonomically put. The horn pad could've been a size or two larger though.
The top-trim obtains you a heads-up screen too, something you do not see frequently in a portable crossover. Sweet!
Keeping that claimed, the cabin is not a roomy one. The front residents would not whine, however the rear guests and your luggage will certainly not more than happy. If you're a high person, you will find the legroom, clearance, and shoulder area to insufficient. Add to that, the sloping roofline that will make your head bump on every bulge; and it likewise impacts the chauffeur's back exposure. The boot has a weak 408 liters of space, which will make suitable two hardtop traveling bags a limited fit.
Call me orthodox, however nothing beats the classic handles and buttons over these touchscreen systems. On the leading Grand Touring trim, the CX-3 gets Bose audio speakers. When it comes to the connectivity, Mazda dedicated a substantial oversight. There is no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay offered below! Seriously, Mazda? When cars half your price can provide it, why would you omit it?
Engine and Specs
The CX-3 is provided with just one engine – a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder SKYACTIV-G unit that generates 148 equines and 146 pound-feet of torque.
An all-wheel-drive system is available on any trim for an added price. The gearbox features hand-operated mode and a Sport setting. The automaker supplies an i-ACTIVSENSE package, that includes LED headlights, Radar Cruise Control, automated rain-sensing wipers, flexible front-light system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, to name a few things
On the safety front, Mazda has been generous. An electronic hand brake discovers its means right into the 2019 CX-3. It additionally obtains auto hill-hold, Blind Spot tracking, Cross-traffic alert, Cruise Control, lane separation caution, high beam control, and smart brake support, to name a few.
The Sport trim is valued at $20,390, while the Touring retails at $22,475. The fully-loaded Grand Touring is a little a lot more pricey and costs $25,745. The costs stated are for the front-wheel-drive versions. If you wish to choose AWD system, you can avail it for an addition $1400 in any kind of trim.
The Mazda CX-3, with all its defects, is still one of the strongest contenders among the various other crossovers. Like we stated previously, if you agree to surrender on the cargo room and the adult-unfriendly-space in the rear, the CX-3 is just what you should go with. Yes, there are some unforgivable noninclusions like the missing Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, yet the CX-3 is still a notch above the competition.
We enthusiasts are constantly hoggish for even more and feel that Mazda had the best opportunity to conquer its drawbacks with the 2019 model. Well, we won't reject that they attempted to provide a far better motorist experience, which is lacking in nearly all the cars in the section. Will this 'old' car reanimate in the new avatar, or slip into oblivion and surrender to the competition? We have high hopes from the CX-3. Let us understand your thoughts in the remarks area too.

If there is one place where we should be completely free, then it is in our own mind. We might have limitations in terms of what our bodies are capable of and what we're allowed to do - but our minds should be free to roam wherever we want them to.
Unfortunately, this is not the reality most of us live in. Instead, our thoughts are dictated by our circumstances and those circumstances are largely out of our control. This is why we will often find ourselves feeling dissatisfied and constantly wanting to push forward, rather than stopping to enjoy life and smell the roses.
And without meaning to get political or philosophical, our capitalist lifestyles only reinforce this nature and try to push us faster.
Are You Happy?
Most of us are constantly in a position of slight dissatisfaction. We feel as though there's 'one thing' that could make our lives better and help us to be happier. Maybe we wish we had just a little bit more money, or maybe we wish we had a bigger house. Maybe we want a better job?
Partly this will be encouraged by the media and by the material goods that we want. We want more money so we can play the latest game, wear the latest clothes and post pictures of ourselves on holiday to show to friends.
And we keep working harder and stressing more to try and accomplish these things - in turn keeping the cogs of society spinning.
Making a Change
But now take a moment to think about that game you find yourself wanting. Aren't there computer games on your shelf right now that you haven't played yet? Aren't there free games you could download today and have just as much fun with? Isn't it just marketing that is pushing you towards that next game and that next expense?
Likewise, ask yourself if having more money would really make you happier. You can travel very cheaply right now - the problem is probably more with leaving work. More responsibility isn't going to help that!
So how do you make a change and start to be freer and happier right now? The answer is that you change your focus. Instead of fixating on what you don't have and on what you want, instead start to fixate on what you already have and what you're grateful for. This is called a 'gratitude attitude' and it's the fastest route to having a satisfying and happy life.
Just filling your thoughts and aiming your focus on what you have right now in your life can bring about a whole shift in the way you feel and the way you think. Some might liken a 'gratitude attitude' to 'counting your blessings' — focusing on what is going well in your life, rather than lamenting what is going wrong.
One way to start yourself off on the right gratitude foot, so to speak, is to make a list — whether you do it with paper and pen or on your computer or other smart device, actually set aside some time to list out the things you are grateful for right now in your life. Maybe it's the roof over your head, the food in your cupboards, the love of your partner or family, or the job that helps you make ends meet every month. Whatever your list looks like, put some actual effort into thinking about each of these points and really focus on your current state of gratitude. If you do this, I think you'll see right away how quickly it can change your attitude!

Well, I am so happy and so proud at the same time to say that it's officially been a week of living in our magnolia dream home. Now that I have been living here, the real estate term "turn-key home" takes on a whole new meaning and now I don't think that those people who are looking for a turn-key home aren't so crazy after all. I want a turn key home too!
Somehow Kendall and I inconveniently managed to coordinate our move in date to where I would be sleeping in the house for the first time all alone as Kendall would have to be working in Oklahoma for the week. Being home all alone takes on a whole new meaning when you're in a place that's still all too unfamiliar and the slightest creaks and crannies will summon a spook. But with my little guard dog by my side, I managed to survive. Honestly, I couldn't be more happy here. My heart feels at peace and my longing for home has finally been fulfilled.
While Kendall was away, I was given some time to myself to do what I love to do the most: make a house into a home. But I think in this case, it was more of a mission to make our house skeleton a little more livable so we didn't feel quite like we were living in a construction war zone, even though we still kind of are. Because I had been so adamant about moving into our new home as soon as it was possible, there have been quite a few mechanical "luxuries" that we have settled to go without until we find the time to make happen.
Currently, out of the 5,000 total square footage of our house, there is only one little room that has air conditioning. I have deemed that little room as my sanctuary, as I often resort there during the moments that the summer heat of the day is almost overwhelming. This room that I call the ""studio" is the room that we are currently camping out in and will eventually turn into a guest bedroom. As I was deciding on how I would like to decorate this room, I did my best to do so with my house guests in mind. Which I hope will be you one day!
My dad was my hero and helped my dream come to life after he helped me install the (first of many) ship lap walls. I plan to hang a lot more white ship lap throughout the rest of the house, so I thought that doing more of a "raw" look in the guestroom would be really pretty. I absolutely love the way that it turned out. Welcome to the studio…
I love the natural light that this room holds and how airy and fresh it feels in here with the newly painted white walls. This room may not be big, but it's the perfect little cozy space that Kendall and I both needed to retreat to after a long day's work. I have yet to finish the detailed decorating since I have all of my little trinkets packed away, but it sure has been fun to shop around for new pieces!
Just this past week while Kendall was away, I summoned my mom and sisters to go shop with me as I was on a mission for two art pieces to hang above our end tables. I hit the jackpot at the Hobby Lobby clearance rack and got these two massive, already framed, canvases for $18 bucks each.
Before I knew that we'd be living in this little guest room, I was ripping out old carpet and carelessly cutting away the edges as I was eager once again to say good bye to the things of old. Well, as you can see, the old yucky carpet is still here and what's still exposed was my janky carpet cut. Annoyed as I was at myself, I was determined to find something to mask my mistake. I found this wicker rug that I'm now slightly obsessed with at Ross, of all places, for another very cheap price! Then to put the icing on the cake, I found this little brown wicker basket at my favorite local thrift store to help mask my cut carpet even more.
Another consequence that we face for my eagerness to move in is that we don't have our gas line hooked up yet. That means no hot water. But before I start to complain any further, I actually welcome the cold shower as another way to find relief from the heat!
Another consequence that we face for having no heat is that we have no dryer to dry our clean clothes in… So I went a little old school and bought drying racks for the clothes and have actually really liked drying my clothes this way. I'm not going to be too hasty in converting my methods over to the old-fashioned side, but for the time being, it has worked really well and the clothes dry fast since the house is so hot. And it doesn't cost us a penny!
I think the project that I am looking forward to getting done the most these days is finishing out the kitchen. We have yet to get our kitchen sink installed, so having this unfinished kitchen has caused me to think a lot harder about my cooking tasks at hand before I even begin. What can I make for supper that won't come from the microwave and won't render a mother load of dirty pots and pans? I have two little buckets that I use to wash the dishes… I have to go outside to our working faucet hose and haul the water back into the kitchen so that I can hand wash my dishes, rinse them and then pray that they don't get any dust on them in the drying process. It's a pretty old school method, but it works.
Below is a little sneak peak into one of my many jimmy rigged projects that I have seen need for and put together since I thought I'd need just a little bit of organization in my life. In this case, I really needed a little counter space to store small food items and utensils and also to have a place to work while I cooked.
As hard as I am working to keep our house clean and not make it feel like a construction war zone all of the time, I feel as though the one enemy that I will never be able to master until this project is completed is the dust. I also think that my feet are now permanently stained a few shades darker of a grey as I wander the floors of our home in my bare feet. I don't know where the heck this dust is coming from, but as hard as I try, these are the size of piles that I sweep up in the house almost every time. When I used to sweep up these massive piles of debris, I'd only see them as a burden and a bother, but now I choose to see it as a joy. Because sweeping reminds me that we are finally home. This magnolia adventure has only begun.
Our doors are open and you are always welcome…

Figs are good source of flavonoids and polyphenols. Figs and other dried fruit were measured for their antioxidant content. A 40 gram portion of dried figs (two medium size figs) produced significant increase in plasma antioxidant capacity. Figs also have higher quantities of fiber than any other dried or fresh fruit. This plant has featured in many books in which they are believed to have healing powers; whether this extends beyond fiction is debatable.
Due to this, it has also been associated with aphrodisiacs. This erotic, fleshy fruit is said to act as a powerful sexual stimulant. Originally from Syria, it is one of the oldest known plants. Ritual copulation followed the arrival of the new fig crop in Ancient Greece and it is said to have been Cleopatra's favorite fruit. For the ancient Greeks the fig was one of the sacred foods associated with fertility and love. In some Southern European countries wedding guests throw figs (instead of rice) at the newly weds, as a sign of fertility.
Legend has it that eating a fresh fig while naked in front of a woman is one of the world's most erotic acts. Because when its split down the center and cradled by a palm, the fig's pink flesh is said to resemble a woman's sweet unmentionables.
The luscious fruit's womanly wiles were immortalized in the words of one of literature's dirtiest birds, author D. H. Lawrence, who dedicated a poem entitled "Figs" to its sensuality.
Some historians suspect that the fig's original home was the Garden of Eden, and that the fig was the original temptress, the true forbidden fruit.

Mental health treatment and recovery, including addiction treatment, should include a multitude of approaches. Traditional therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, pharmacological therapies, and many others have been shown to have promising results.
But, when accompanied by so-called non-traditional methods like music therapy, recreational activities, mindfulness practices, and others, the results can be miraculous.
Using HealthRhythms in mental health and addiction treatment
Recreational music-making, including HealthRhythms Group Empowerment Drumming, is more than just playing drums. Karl T. Bruhn, Father of the Music-Making and Wellness Movement says, "Recreational Music Making (RMM) encompasses enjoyable, accessible and fulfilling group music-based activities that unite people of all ages regardless of their challenges, backgrounds, ethnicity, ability or prior experience.
From exercise, nurturing, social support, bonding and spirituality, to intellectual stimulation, heightened understanding and enhanced capacity to cope with life's challenges, the benefits of Recreational Music-Making extend far beyond music. Recreational Music-Making ultimately affords unparalleled creative expression that unites our bodies, minds and spirits."
Remo Belli, Founder of Remo, Inc.

Obituary for Nilmer E. "Nick" Jacobson
Nilmer E. "Nick" Jacobson, 90, of Caledonia, died Tuesday, December 7, 2010, peacefully at his home.
He was born July 30, 1920, in rural Kenyon, Minn., the son of Nels and Ida (Lee) Jacobson. Nick attended rural country school.
Some would say, Nick was born with a mechanics wrench in his hand. He worked for Hector Construction Co. in Caledonia for 31 years and the Houston County Shop for another 10 1/2 years. Nick also ran his own shop where on the weekends, he fixed cars and enjoyed spending his time there. On June 27, 1954, he married Adeline Raitz at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hector, Minn. Nick served on the Caledonia Volunteer Fire Department for 20 years and the Caledonia Ambulance for six years. He was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Caledonia where he served on the church council and he was also a Cub Scout leader. Nick enjoyed many years of hunting, fishing, and camping with family and friends. He also enjoyed woodworking and he had a love for airplanes and flying. Nick had a huge love for his family and friends. His kind heart was always there to help. One of his famous quotes was "take life one day at a time."
Survivors include his wife, Adeline of Caledonia; one daughter, Kathy (Gordy) King of Caledonia; three grandchildren, Wesley King of San Diego, Calif., Nicolas (Amanda) King and Kristin (Chad) Aasum, both of Caledonia; three great-grandchildren, Riley Aasum, Loralei Aasum, and Isaac King; one sister, Pearl Sathre of Northfield, Minn.; three sisters-in-law, Marlys Jacobson of Rochester, Minn., and Norma Jacobson and Ruth Jacobson, both of Kenyon, Minn.; and many special nephews and nieces and their spouses.
Nick was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Larry Jacobson; three brothers, Ossie Jacobson, Sam Jacobson, and Lawrence "Bud" Jacobson; and his sister, Eleanor (Joe) Flom.
Funeral services will be Saturday, December 11, 2010, at 11:00 a.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Caledonia. Rev. Steven E. Meyer will officiate. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery at a later date. Friends may call at the church on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service. Jandt-Fredrickson Funeral Homes and Crematory, Caledonia, is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be sent at www.jandtfredrickson.com.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Udell and his staff for the wonderful care and kindness given to Nick at his home from Gundersen Lutheran Hospice.

January is a time of change - new year, new resolutions, a perfect time for a fresh start.
The holiday decorations are all packed up and put away, but before you mindlessly arrange your stuff the way it was before you shifted it to accommodate the season, think about ways to give your home a fresh start as well. Rethink furniture placement. Eliminate clutter. Organize your space so it works efficiently for you and it is comfortable and a pleasure to live in. Easier said than done? Totally!
Here is a new year's resolution challenge for you - don't keep something just because...use this opportunity to challenge the status quo. William Morris said, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.". This famous quote is a great measuring stick to use to determine what stays and what goes. Don't waste your money trying to buy things to go with a piece of furniture, paint color, or floor covering that you hate in the hope that they will somehow help you hate it less. Buy what gives you joy.
We had a client who called us in to rescue her master bedroom suite - she liked some things about it (much of her furniture, her custom bedding and window treatments, her collection of jadeware and artwork), hated others (the oppressiveness of the wall color, the rug, the uncomfortable loveseat).
We recommended some pillows and a rug in patterns that would pull together the golds and burgundies in her bedding and valances with the jade in her accessories, a lighter, but still warm, paint color, a pair of comfortable chairs and ottoman for a useable lounging spot by the fireplace, and simple re-arrangement of artwork and accessories. She was excited by our suggestions and delighted with the outcome!
New rug ...
Pillow and upholstery fabrics ...
Rearrangement of the artwork and accessories ... and voila! A fresh new space that is comfortable, functional, and distinctive with just a few key changes!
Look at your home with new eyes and decide what about it you need to change and what gives you joy!

2017: Let's Do This. #quitplayingsmall
With the holiday season upon us, I know you are swamped with answering emails, writing copy and figuring out how to grow your biz…while also fitting in errands, parties, yoga classes and fulfilling client sessions, so thanks for taking the time for you right here. You might also be spending these days deep in thought on the year passed and all that you accomplished and how much you have grown and where you are heading with 2017 just around the corner…while buying gifts, attending parties and visiting loved ones of course :)
One of the beautiful things about this time of year is that it is an opportunity for us to take a pause as well. Going into the winter solstice is a time when the earth gets quiet and we can embrace reflection and quiet, to really look at what we want for ourselves in our lives both in and outside of business. You may have had some really hard times this year in life, relationship, health or business and some deep desires about what you are ready to manifest in the coming months.
You may be in a state of pure joy and celebration…or you may feel a sense of frustration and angst which is hard to admit, especially at this time of year. When those thoughts of not doing enough, or having enough..or not BEING enough sneak in, it can be all consuming and can create a ripple effect of sadness, loss, fear…and even depression. Whats can even be more frustrating here is that believing that your desires are just not sign to happen then blocks you off from receiving the very gifts you so deserve!
So if you are feeling joyful and excited about what is to come, and you already to transform your life in all areas this year- fantastic! And if instead you are feeling that blockage and are uncertain you have what it takes, then take a few minutes to feel it, process it…then let it go. Because the truth is- you would not be here right now, reading this, if you were not meant to be an inspired and empowered coach; if you were not meant to have all your dreams come true.
Its all on its way dear one! Whatever you have been working so hard on this year, and wherever you have focused your energies- they are not wasted! Time takes time- something I have learned along the way…and asking for help is never a bad thing either!
Here's the thing: You are not stuck. You are not helpless- and you can have it ALL! Really! If you are feeling that low energy then process it- let it all out, then seek support and take a step forward every day! Growth is about deciding to let go of playing small…in ALL areas of life and sometimes the universe gives us little reminders about that…just like this one ;) I want to put out a hand for those of you who are closing the year feeling ready. Ready to make things happen. Ready to follow your dreams. Ready to grow, change and empower others. Ready to be in your power and highest vibration!
We are now taking applications for Living Brilliance Mastermind; an intimate group of 12 women who will be learning, growing and manifesting together in ALL areas of life! If you are ready to say hello to the next best version of yourself and to create what you know deep down you are meant to in your business, then we need to chat :) Its time to look ahead and live brilliantly from this moment forward!
Here's the thing…there are a whole lot of courses out there these days that talk about systems and structures or "how to" steps and formulas…the problem with those is, they don't teach you much about real client attraction, how to grow a sustainable business and how to sell. The even bigger issue is that these programs do very little to target the biggest issue of all- the personal development that is necessary to develop a long term, successful business. Every client I have ever worked with has needed to address what was going on inside in order to succeed on the outside, be it mindset, boundaries or confidence and clarity in and with themselves. In order to show up 100% and be seen as an expert, you must BE and feel, as you are that expert on the inside.
You must be ready an able to show up and feel good doing it. Many people do not realize that to be the superstar in their business, they must become the superstar in their own lives- from mindset to self-love and confidence. Without transforming your own blocks and challenges, there is very little point in learning the tools and strategies of online business. And here's the thing:You don't need to do this alone! This high vibe, intimate mastermind, Living Brilliance, is about just that. It is about stepping into mastery of the brilliance of who you are as a person and therefore allowing you to shine as a coach and online entrepreneur.
Fill out the application and come with all your questions. I look forward to chatting to see if this is a fit for you! And if its not- how we can get you to massive momentum and deep manifestation regardless! CLICK HERE FOR LIVING BRILLIANT :)
This time of year is an opportunity. Its about about the ability to start fresh with a decision to make 2017 the year you step into your power fully, own your worth and serve in the way you are meant to- the way that you were born to serve on this planet! And I have your back every step of the way!
Let's make magic this year Conscious Coaches!
xo Shelley
PS- Oops, I forgot to mention that we are offering a $100 coupon for anyone who is part of our special community on Facebook: Conscious Coaching Entrepreneur Facebook Group! Be sure to let me know you are a member!
PPS- First 8 masterminders receive a free 90 minute Intensive in December - only 2 left, so don't hesitate one this one- you deserve it!

Vintage comforter sets – Well made, comfortable sheets are available in a wide range of prices, since sheet metal manufacturers now make quality sheets that fit any budget. The best sheets do not depend solely on the price. Knowing how to choose well made bedding that will last for many washes begins with an understanding of what a quality bed sheet will do.
The best sheets start with a high density of threads. Thread count refers to the number of threads per inch of the fabric on the sheet. A sheet of 400 threads has a tight weave that counts 200 threads, since the top thread count per inch will offer a more substantial, tightly woven sheet. The fabric is an indicator of the comfort and warmth of the sheet. A high number of armor means the sheet will keep the bed warm, but the sheets of the armor may be too hot for summer. Keep in mind that a sheet with a high thread density is not necessarily the most comfortable if it has a lower frame.
Cotton sheets are good and soft sheets that breathe. Sheets that are 100 percent cotton are expensive, but Egyptian cotton sheets are even more expensive than cotton. The Egyptian cotton used in some of the leaves actually comes from cotton grown along the Nile, and cotton is spun and woven into leaves in Egypt. Egyptian cotton sheets are the most luxurious sheets that can be found, and the price reflects it.

Ukraine and the Future of NATO: Redefining Old Notions of Warfare and Conflict
The ongoing crisis in Ukraine has refocused the international spotlight on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as the alliance approaches a critical juncture. Depending on the degree of further escalation in the region, this crisis could lead to resurgence in NATO's strength and global respect—or it could vastly undermine NATO's credibility. Russian President Vladimir Putin has very cleverly positioned Russia to exploit the gaps in NATO's prescribed role, carefully avoiding alliance tripwires while still subversively contributing to instability, unrest, and violence in Ukraine. Thus far, Putin's tactics have confounded NATO leaders and military planners, whose paradigms and procedures anticipate a very different sort of "regular" war. The upcoming 2014 NATO summit, to be held in the first week of September, will prove crucial in shaping the fate of the alliance. NATO faces a watershed moment: the alliance can either choose to adapt to become a strong, twenty-first century institution, or it can allow itself to fade as an artifact of the twentieth.
To maintain its relevance in the future, NATO must focus on building military capabilities to face the kind of savvy, non-linear foe it confronts in Ukraine and adapt to this type of nontraditional adversary by redefining established notions of warfare. A commitment must be made not only to increase total defense spending but to ensure that money is spent in the right ways as well. That means more relevant capabilities and an emphasis on interoperability among member states and partner nations. Proper response to such threats will require building more Special Forces, enhancing intelligence sharing, development and implementation of urban war-fighting strategies, and a heightened emphasis on international cybersecurity.
The Ukraine episode has also illustrated the ability of leaders like Putin to leverage oil as a weapon and launch savvy information campaigns to incite violence or quell domestic dissent. Hence, NATO's deterrence theory also needs to be reimagined to reflect the reality of multi-element conventional conflicts, in which the threat of military force is credible and acts as a complement to economic and diplomatic pressure. NATO should also reform its decision-making processes to make them more flexible, as the current requirement for unanimous consent risks inaction or too late a response to rapidly emergent crises.
As the normative backbone of the international system, NATO and the European Union will lose credibility and effectiveness without becoming better equipped to address evolving threats. While it is true that Article V—the collective defense principle built into NATO's charter—applies only to NATO members, as the world's most credible and capable military alliance there remains an implicit broader responsibility to uphold global norms. That states do not invade or annex other states is fundamental to the current international system, and preserving this order requires reinforcement from NATO. Barring strong action to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine, NATO's future enemies will take note of the alliance's significant strategic weaknesses in the face of nontraditional threats.
In the short term, NATO has the potential to both affect Russian behavior and bolster its own military capabilities for future missions. One opportunity for NATO to increase its capabilities is by purchasing the Mistral-class ships currently being sold by France to the Russian Navy. In addition to preventing Russia from further upgrading and expanding its military arsenal, such measures would help modernize NATO's maritime forces and better equip them to respond effectively to future crises.
As a direct response to the situation in Ukraine itself, NATO should offer President Putin a balance of carrots and sticks to dial down tensions. To sustain deterrence and assurance of allies, NATO should continue to support U.S. President Barack Obama's European Phased Adaptive Approach strategy for placing various elements of the ballistic missile defense systems in Europe, including sea-based systems in the Mediterranean, land-based radar in Turkey, and additional elements planned for Romania and Poland. Meanwhile, NATO can reduce some tensions with Russia by agreeing to halt the expansion of its member states, particularly the potential to include Ukraine, whose membership in NATO would trigger an immediate Article V crisis given the existing tensions with Russia. NATO can and should continue to support Ukraine and other countries threatened by aggression without formally inducting these nations into the alliance. For Ukraine to join NATO while factions within the country are actively engaged against Russia militarily, however, would be to invite escalation.
Regardless of the course taken by the conflict in Ukraine in the coming months, it will be essential for all parties involved in September's impending NATO summit to fully recognize the necessity of the alliance's ability to act as an effective military coalition. In the face of equally unorthodox, ambiguous, and unacceptable aggression from Russian forces, ensuring this effectiveness will require redefining old ideas about the nature of warfare. Now is the time for NATO to rethink its traditional and historical purpose and structure by reshaping itself to match the new face of international conflict.

Chai-Spiced Citrus Slow-Cooker Pork
I almost never use my slow-cooker, but every time I do, I wonder why I don't use it more. It makes flavorful meats so easy, that it makes me want to put it to work more often!
The pork in this recipe comes out so tender and bursting with warming spices, refreshing orange citrus, and the nourishing textures and flavors of a great cut of meat.
I first made this recipe in the fall to elicit the tastes of autumn: think chai spices with notes of citrus in a hearty-yet-fresh combination of flavors.
By cooking this in a slow-cooker, the meat stews in liquid for hours on end, ensuring that every bite is tender and bursting with flavor.
And you can make this in a big batch (this recipe is 8-10 servings worth), and have it available throughout the week to serve in tacos, on top of salads, underneath runny eggs (trust me on this one... it's amazing).
It's so versatile, and really is an impressive dish. I've served it at dinner gatherings and it's a true crowd-pleaser!
Let me know how you use this one in your kitchen! I love seeing how these recipes end up on your plate.
- 3 lbs pork shoulder
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 a small red onion, chopped into strips
- juice of half an orange (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 cups bone broth or stock
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt or real mineral salt
- a few sage leaves
- Add chopped onions to the bottom of a slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix the spices together (cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt).
- Rub all sides of the pork shoulder with the spice mixture (make sure to use up all of the spice mixture).
- Place the spice-rubbed pork shoulder into the slow-cooker.
- Add the orange juice, apple cider vinegar, broth, and sage leaves to the slow cooker over top of the pork shoulder.
- Set the slow cooker to the "pork" setting, or set to cook for at least 8 hours.
- After about 8 hours, the pork should be very tender and brown on the outside.
- Transfer the pork from the slow cooker to a large bowl to shred. Using two forks, shred the pork.
- Serve immediately, or store for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Thanks to Whole Foods Market Montgomery County for generously providing the ingredients for this recipe, and thanks for reading!

Our Bottom Line:
This is a classic production of Hamlet, Hdstarring Laurence Olivier, and direted and produced by him. Loud cannon, braying trumpets and lots of men in tights are never far away and you might regard the whole action as too 'sicklied o'er' with pale mists but at the same time there is the spill of grave dirt from Yorick's upended skull, a Hamlet and Horatio friendship that is as believable as their features are finely chiselled, and – the clincher for me – a wonderful and atmospheric score by William Walton.
Our Review (****)
The Academy Awards 2017 will soon be awarded and it is of note that the first non-American film to win the 'Oscar' for Best Picture was Olivier's Hamlet. It also won in three other categories: Best Actor in a Leading Role, for Olivier; Best Art Direction; and Best Costume Design. Not bad for a classic tragedy at a time when you might think that post war audiences needed cheering up, although arguably Olivier's heroic performance is as thrilling as you could wish. Not bad also when you consider that the villain of this urNordic Noir was once called Feng, that the Player King 'is' the second Dr Who, Patrick Troughton; that Peter Cushing is Osric and it is Christopher Lee who walks on (& off) as a spear carrier. So this Elsinore atop its beetling cliff is indeed a regal house of horror set about with the 'trappings and suits of woe'.
That award for Best Art Direction is perhaps better understood by its current name, Best Production Design, for this is Hamlet in stylish mode. It is in sharp black and white and its tracking shots are straight out of the M C Escher manual of impossibly ascending and descending stairs. In cinematographic terms it looks like an exploration of perspective with the expected symmetries half obscured by sea frets and wet stone. The Ghost blends in well. It's significant, I venture, that this is one castle with no handrails to its stairs or battlements on its platforms. Osric, attempting yet another bow, does tumble down the steps but otherwise it's just the camera that swoops and falls on the dark and moody sets of late expressionism. It lingers, very suggestively and more than once, upon the empty royal bed of Denmark. Less a 'nasty sty' than a what-might-have-been for Hamlet and Ophelia.
From the beginning, 'this is the tragedy of a man who could not make up his mind'. At any rate that is how we are encouraged to receive it, as 'Hamlet the Uncertain'. However, that's not how it works. More 'Hamlet the Resolved. Near on two hours of textual content is cut: effectively Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and Fortinbras go to't – and Olivier's Prince is dead-set on his revenge once he is up and out of his chair at the foot of the council table in the second scene. This is not a 'dull and muddy-mettled rascal', a 'John-a-dreams'; no, this is played pretty fast and furious. Hamlet's elation at the success of his 'mousetrap', laughing – literally 'Ha, ha, ha' – in the face of the King, and nearly pushing a torch into his beard, is positively exhilarating, as is the drama of the panic stricken court. Hamlet then stands on a table and bellows his triumphant song and it does not seem that long before he is plunging his sword into his damned uncle in the final scene. I counted three full length thrusts.
That central scene of Hamlet and the Players (at 1.03.38) and then the dumb show is magnificently done, not least as it is introduced by Hamlet's "Speak the speech" instruction to the actors, which – whatever your views on RP and Shakespeare – is a masterclass in choice diction and intonation. He then, unthinkingly, puts a blond wig on the boy actor, who will be playing the Player Queen, and is shocked at the immediate resemblance to Ophelia. It's the blond braids that do it, framing the beauty of a 19 year old Jean Simmons, alongside the 41 year old Olivier. Their scenes together are, for me, close to the best in the film, second only to the consummate and consummating screenplay of its end.
Loud cannon, braying trumpets and lots of men in tights are never far away and you might regard the whole action as too 'sicklied o'er' with pale mists but at the same time there is the spill of grave dirt from Yorick's upended skull, a Hamlet and Horatio friendship that is as believable as their features are finely chiselled, and – the clincher for me – a wonderful and atmospheric score by William Walton.

Inspired by a painting
A new collaboration is underway! Brittany approached me about contributing to her blog monthly. After running through a few ideas we came to this one! Recreating paintings in the real. Painting will be from different eras in history and Brittany will be talking a bit about them each month on her blog. The photos on this series really had to be exact, the lighting, the composition, all of it. Kate Osborne took the beautiful photos and will be working with us all year! See more and read about the painting this arrangement was inspired by on Brittany's blog. This beautiful painting is by Peter Faes.

The Department of Justice on Tuesday responded harshly to a federal district judge's accusations that he was deceived by government lawyers in a case involving President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration.
The judge in question, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, ordered additional ethics training for 3,000 Department of Justice attorneys, a punishment which government lawyers argued to "far exceed the bounds of appropriate remedies."
The lawyers also included that disclosing personal information by June 10 on 50,000 illegal immigrants who qualified for protective status as parents of American- born children would represent an "unprecedented breach" of trust.
In response, Judge Hanen, in his 28 page ruling on May 20, said the lawyers deceived the court by saying they didn't act on the 2014 Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents when "over 100,000 three-year deferred action renewals" were being processed.
Calling it a "serious" calculated plan of unethical conduct, Hanen ordered any justice lawyer wanting to appear in any of the 28 states that are suing the federal government over President Barack Obama's immigration policy to attend a three-hour legal ethics course, which in turn encompassed the aforementioned 3,000 attorneys.
He further stated: "clearly there seems to be a lack of knowledge about or adherence to the duties of professional responsibility in the halls of the Justice Department."
In response, DOJ lawyers wrote a 12-page filing stating that Hanen's conclusions were wrong and of their intent to appeal the order.
"The Department of Justice takes with utmost seriousness the public trust committed to it to represent the interests of the American people in the courts of the United States, and insists that its attorneys adhere to the high standards of ethical conduct and professionalism required to carry out that critical mission," department lawyers wrote in an excerpt within the filing.
They also argued that they would be producing sensitive personal information about illegal immigrants.
The U.S. Supreme Court is deciding whether the administration's 2014 immigration policy deferring deportation of illegal immigrants whose children were born in the United States is constitutional.


text: Share: Comments Print March 23, 2011 at 11:09 AM Rankings, rankings, and more rankings Posted by Larry Stone It seems like all kinds of lists and rankings are being released today, including Forbes Magazine's annual franchise valuations. The Mariners check in at No. 15, with Forbes estimating their value at $449 million, up 2 percent from last year (when they ranked 14th). According to Forbes, the average baseball franchise is now worth $523 million — though I should point out that MLB annually claims that Forbes figures are inaccurate. Darren Rovell of CNBC presents the top 10 selling jerseys by players, as well as the top 10 teams by licensed product sales for 2010. Not surprisingly, the Yankees are at the top of both lists (Derek Jeter's jersey being the top selling). The Mariners aren't to be found on either; I thought Ichiro's jersey might make it, but it didn't. Tim Lincecum sneaked in at No. 10. Baseball America comes out with their annual farm system rankings, with the Mariners placing at No. 18. Earlier this spring, Baseball Prospectus was kinder to Seattle, putting them at No. 13 in their organizational rankings. And Keith Law on ESPN had them at No. 10 (no link because subscription is required, but MLB Trade Rumors.com put together a handy-dandy spread sheet which places all three rankings side by side for comparison. Find the link here). FanGraphs is in the midst of unveiling their organizational rankings this week, on a countdown from 30. They've reached No. 22 so far with no Mariners, so they're at least in the top 21. But here's their top 10 Mariner prospects list, released in January. And, just for the heck of it, here are the Mariner prospects rankings for Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America. Happy perusing! (I also wanted to call your attention to this heartbreaking story about former Mariner Chad Cordero, whose 3-month-old daughter died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in December. Here's a followup blog post with some background on SIDS and the Corderos' efforts to raise awareness.) Comments

Steve Hughes has two selections from Stratford on Sunday
It is a fairly "run-of-the-mill" Sunday in Britain with three meetings at a relatively modest level. Stratford stages the best action with a couple of quality handicaps meriting further attention. We had a successful Saturday with wins for Emotionless (SP 11/4) and More Bucks (advised 12/1) plus an each-way placing for Coeur de Lion (advised 12/1).
Stratford 3.35: Vosne Romanee
In a race where a strong gallop throughout looks assured, this looks best left to the top weight Vosne Romanee.
A horse with a high level of form over hurdles, especially in big fields where he enjoyed the strong gallops – he was fourth in a Scottish Champion Hurdle and finished second at Cheltenham previously. He is also very much a fast ground specialist so will enjoy the ground conditions here.
His record around this sharp, left-handed track is a perfect 2-2, albeit in weakish contests and he won with plenty to spare a couple of weeks ago. The one worry I have is that he did take a couple of fences to warm up that day and he will need to be in touch early because I would expect the likes of Festive Affair, Lord Ben and Theflyingportrait to go hard from the start. If he can lie up then his natural pace at the end of a race can take him past those pace-setters who might soften each other up.
Stratford 4.30: Lillian
The winner of this race on last year's card Lillian looks to be peaking to produce a peak performance this afternoon.
She had a busy campaign last summer winning three times over extreme trips, culminating in a win in this contest off a mark of 119. The handicapper probably had her in his grip thereafter, but she has been easing down the weights after defeats in her last four races and is now only 3lb higher than that last win.
I thought her last effort was quite encouraging at Newton Abbot in a race where they crawled around for the most part. Her stamina kicked in too late as she finished off strongly into a close fifth and hopefully they will go a more suitable gallop today which will help massively.
Recommended bets:
1pt win – Vosne Romanee – 3.55 Stratford – 11/8 Paddy Power
0.75pts each-way – Lillian – 4.30 Stratford – 8/1 Ladbrokes, Corals (1/5 odds first 3)

The 4 Top Ways to Share Your Offering on LinkedIn
These tactics will get engagement and gain the ultimate traction from your content.
Running a business is hard. Undoubtedly, your hands are already full with the day-to-day realities of your industry. You know that social media marketing is essential in today's marketplace, but here's the rub – doing it effectively is a full-time job.
When you focus your energy on the one social media platform tailor-made for business, you will maximize your reach. Your target audience is already waiting for you on LinkedIn.
Less Work, Better Results
In mid-2017, LinkedIn boasted a half-billion professional members. Some 61-million senior level influencers and 40-million decision makers are LinkedIn regulars, making LinkedIn the place where your company needs to be seen.
Promoting your offering – whether it's an article, video, infographic, or value proposition – is key. The trick is to get the content in front of as many eyeballs as possible, where it will have the most impact.
Sound easy? Actually, it is. Here's how you can leverage your LinkedIn presence to get the most traction from your latest offering.
Firstly, use your profile
Your LinkedIn profile is the first point of contact where potential customers get to "meet" you and existing clients get your latest updates. Your banner is one of the most visible elements on your profile page.
Use this as the valuable advertising space it is and incorporate your offering into your profile.
Your personal branding and the character of your business should be reflected in your banner image. Banner graphics are a remarkably effective means of sharing valuable information in a non-salesy way.
Separate from your headshot photo, the background image should have a similar look and feel as your website. This is where you can use the available real estate to share your unique value proposition, your mission statement, or your latest offering in an immediately visible format.
The profile summary description is another section where you can showcase your latest and greatest.
LinkedIn gives you 2,000 characters for the content in your summary description. You can share a link to your offering without sacrificing valuable words needed for your summary. Just remember that if you want the content link to appear before the "show more" dropdown, it must be incorporated in the first 200 characters.
Don't discount the power of images. Uploading as media can give your offering a "face." People are hot-wired to respond to visual clues, which makes sharing content via an image a potent marketing trick.
If your image can incorporate a human face, so much the better. Marketing psychology confirms that people are attracted to images of human faces more than any other subject matter.
Secondly, the news event
Think like a newspaperman. Share the "Big News" – the announcement of your offering – as a Status Update. Extra points for an appropriate image or graphic.
Sharing a URL linking to your content or an image should take the form of an "update." Any time you have something short and punchy to say, use the "update" option. And it will attract more attention if you share an image or a link.
Always use the "write an article" alternative when sharing longer content. One caveat – while images are essential, long-form content with multimedia doesn't perform as well as articles without multimedia.
One little-known fact is that updates shared on a Thursday perform better than those shared on any other day of the week. Having said that, for top visibility, you should be sharing several times a week and at different times of the day.
Thirdly, go for groups
Groups are a potent way to generate leads on LinkedIn. But this strategy has to be executed with subtlety and finesse.
There's no place for overt advertising. Groups allow you to engage with the community and build credibility for your brand. Additionally, groups connect you and your network to a vast pool of businesses and professionals in your industry.
One natural offshoot of sharing relevant content with your Group is driving more traffic to your website. You can expect higher engagement from individuals who are in the same field of business and share the same pain points.
This is a channel for sharing your valuable content with an audience who would benefit most. Every person in your LinkedIn Group is a valuable potential lead.
By linking your offering in a group update, you can gain valuable feedback, boost engagement, and generate useful discussions.
Fourthly, messaging
Use LinkedIn messaging to build connections with your target audience. But out of all your network of contacts, who are the people most likely to be potential customers?
Get a picture of your typical prospective customer; identify your target audience by creating a buyer persona and grow your brand with personal engagement.
When you have a clear picture of your ideal client, you can form connections with them through LinkedIn private messaging. Having used personal messaging to build a relationship, you can then get your offering front-and-center on their radar by using a CTA link that will drive the receiver to your offering.
One word of caution: You should always be careful not to spam your connections.
Why This Fails
Ironically, most people fail at this seemingly easy practice.
These are not marketing secrets only available to a chosen few. Most business people recognize the value of social media for online success.
It's not about your number of followers or the size of your network – they're only resources. If you can't tap into this stream of potential clients, then clearly, your social media strategy isn't working.
A healthy social media presence means new subscribers, new business, great engagement, and valuable conversations. If you are not making money, something is wrong.
If your LinkedIn strategy isn't delivering results, you are not doing it right.
Shouting, not listening
Don't shout at your audience. Too often, businesses forget that social media is all about conversations and engagement. Concentrating on pushing sales and conversions is a sure way to get your audience to tune you out.
Attaining an understanding of your audience gives you insights into the kind of content that will be read and shared. It is a waste of resources to produce an offering that doesn't trigger a reaction with the people you most need to reach.
Don't discount the tremendous value of feedback. Take the time to really listen when your audience shares their thoughts on content you've produced. If you take the time to listen to your viewers, you will gain an understanding of what they want to see.
Not putting training into practice
Many business people learn how to use LinkedIn effectively, build their brand, and develop new client relationships. But learning how to use LinkedIn in your general marketing and business development is a useless exercise if you don't put that learning into action.
Creating a social media strategy based on posting an update when a new product or service is on sale is not sharing valuable information. It's when businesses engage and interact with their target audiences that their social media strategies can be counted a success.
LinkedIn, Unmined Gold
A LinkedIn platform is a content marketing and lead generation dynamo. There's a reason that it is the most popular site for business professionals. Done properly, there is no real limit to the number of business leads you can develop.
LinkedIn is the place where professionals go to connect. But at the same time, it's an impressive search engine intended to drive qualified traffic to your website or profile.

Let´s forget the world for a second and enjoy two rolls of film showing the natural beauty of Hannah photographed by Danny Lane.
The model: "My goal for the shoot was to create something that evoked a feeling of intimacy and closeness, and showed me in a more natural state. The shoot was so simple and unposed, unlike a lot of stuff I've done before. I felt very relaxed during the shoot and I think that came through and made the images feel really natural and easy. I loved working with Danny. His work has a super organic quality that I really appreciate. I'm so happy with what we were able to create together!"
The photographer: "I was happy to shoot with Hannah. She is definitely one of my favorite faces I've seen in a while. I think I could have photographed her sneezing and she still would have looked pretty. We shot at my apartment in Los Angeles. Two rolls of film. She wanted to make something that felt personal. I think we nailed it. She wasn't wearing any makeup at all. Coincidentally we are both fans of those Hanes granny panties.. .so they were the common thread. We agreed on many aspects of art and work. I would photograph Hannah once a week if she'd let me. As with most of my collaborators, I am very happy to have made her acquaintance."
