Holding the space for folks to mark their important moments in a sacred and meaningful way has always been one of the greatest joys of my work. My apprenticeship was in 3 years of baptisms/thanksgivings, weddings and funerals as a rural parish priest which rooted me in practice. I particularly loved the funerals. After that, I moved back home and became increasingly enriched by the earth traditions. I was then invited to take funerals, weddings and other ceremonies which opened out my craft and enables me to offer the flexibility that I believe is invaluable when celebrating a beginning or an ending.
The landscape of marking our rites of passage has changed much in the last 10 years and is set to change even more in the next 10 because people know now that they can choose and be imaginative. I offer ceremonies which I co-create with a family to reflect who they are and their spiritual path. I invite them to guide me as to how much or how little they would like to contribute to the service or ceremony and I offer my experience and skills at helping design the shape and elements of their particular ceremony. I hold them in my thoughts and prayers from when we first meet and for long after the ceremony.
My book "Alternative Pastoral Prayers" gives a flavour of the words and some of the rituals that could be used for a service/ceremony but no two are the same!
I have experience of celebrating baby blessing and namings, house blessings, animal funerals, wedding blessings and anniversaries/renewal of vows, end of relationship and am available to help mark these and any other significant stages on the way eg mother blessings, croning, handfastings, partnership blessings, birthdays, retirement.
There is a standard fee for taking a funeral which is payable through the funeral directors.
For other ceremonies, fees would start at £180 and increase depending on time spent and any travel expenses.

Freedom's Jayden Sharpless named Trib HSSN Girls Soccer Player of the Year
Saturday, December 1, 2018 | 9:36 AM
Trib HSSN Girls Soccer Player of the Year
Jayden Sharpless
Freedom, freshman, midfielder
Freedom rang up goals at a WPIAL-best pace this season, and its freshman phenom provided much of the firepower.
The younger sister of Florida Atlantic commit Myla Sharpless, Jayden adapted to the high school level quickly. She scored a WPIAL-high 64 goals this season, leading the Bulldogs to the WPIAL Class A championship, their second title in three seasons, and a runner-up finish in the PIAA tournament.
Averaging nearly a hat trick per game, Sharpless also led Freedom with 23 assists as the Bulldogs put the ball in the back of the net 194 times this season.
Ellie Coffield, Mars, So., M: Already committed to Pitt, Coffield shone in the midfield for the Planets, who finished as WPIAL Class AAA runner-up.
Megan Donnelly, Pine-Richland, So., F: Drawing Division I interest already, Donnelly led the Rams with 31 goals this season and was named an All-American.
Haleigh Finale, South Park, Jr., F: The all-state striker led the WPIAL Class AA champions in scoring, putting more than 40 in the back of the net.
Maddy Genicola, Norwin, Sr., D: Duquesne recruit anchored the back line for WPIAL semifinalist Knights, who shut out nine opponents this season.
Alaina Kalin, Pine-Richland, Sr., M: The Indiana recruit scored 22 goals and added 19 assists to help the Rams reach the WPIAL Class AAAA semifinals.
Regan LaVigna, Peters Township, Sr., F: Youngstown State recruit and all-state and all-region selection spearheaded Indians' attack for much of the season before going down with an injury in the WPIAL Class 4A quarterfinals.
Landy Mertz, Upper St. Clair, Sr., M: A Dayton recruit who missed much of her junior season to injury, Mertz was named an All-American after scoring 20 goals.
Krystyna Rytel, Shady Side Academy, Sr., M: All-state and all-region midfielder led the PIAA semifinalists with 29 goals, capping a career that saw the Pitt commit find the back of the net 130 times.
Hannah Stuck, Peters Township, Jr., M: An adept goal scorer and facilitator, Stuck helped Peters Township reach the WPIAL Class AAAA championship game and PIAA semifinals, shouldering the load with fellow star Regan LaVigna out.
Jocelyn Timlin, Bentworth, Jr., F: Timlin broke the school career goal record and now holds the mark by a wide margin; she found the back of the net 51 times this season for WPIAL Class A runner-up, giving her 110 for her career.
Michaela Watkins, Freedom, Sr., F: The Youngstown State recruit scored 35 goals for the WPIAL champion Bulldogs, including the game-winning overtime goal against Shady Side Academy in the PIAA Class A semifinals.

The experts let us in on a few secrets
N Shafiq
General manager of Regency Travel & Tours Doha
While most tourists flock to Goa for the beaches, the state's local cuisine is worth leaving the sun lounger for. In tranquil south Goa, the best way to see – and taste – the region is to rent a two-wheeler to explore the coast and discover small family-owned restaurants. Run mostly by fisher folk, you can count on warm, rustic hospitality, fresh seafood cooked in the region's spices (usually a dried and dry-roasted combination of ingredients) and a locally brewed coconut- or cashew-flavoured drink called feni. Head to Martin's Corner in Betalbatim for a taste of authentic Goan cuisine and live music. North Goa, bustling with activity all year round, is a paradise for foodies. The beaches are lined with shacks that operate throughout the season and specialise in seafood. In Baga, Britto's deserves a special mention for a splendid beachfront location with food to match – crab curry rice, pomfret recheado, prawn stuffed crab, Goan sausage pulao… the list is endless.

Take a short ride from Tokyo on a Japanese bullet train to Hiroshima. The city's most famous food is its okonomiyaki, a savoury cabbage-based pancake, battered and layered with any meats, seafood, vegetables or cheeses that you might like, then topped with tangy okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. These unusual ingredients form a delicious dinner, served originally as a cheap, complete meal to homeless and injured citizens after the World War II atomic bombing, and now served in over 2,000 restaurants in the prefecture. Plan also to feast on Hiroshima's legendary oysters. Two fried oysters, each larger than the size of your fist and impossibly succulent, are grilled and served with lemon wedges or ponzu sauce on street corners for about 400 Yen (AED 14). Cap your day off with momiji manju, sweet red bean-filled dessert cakes in the shape of maple leaves, made on neighbouring Miyajima island, and feel thrilled that you've found a hidden foodie gem.

Cyprus has been occupied by many nations, with bundles of influence on its cuisine but has distinct differences from Grecian fare: the cooking style of Cypriot cuisine is less refined and more rustic than its Greek neighbour and dishes are simpler with fewer sauces. Head to the old town districts or deep into villages like Sotira, in the east, to my all-time favourite traditional taverna on the island, Mousikos. A mammoth windmill graces the entrance and the mezze feast includes an unpasteurised halloumi cheese so freshly churned it's still warm with creamy goodness oozing out. Another excellent foodie destination is Vietnam, where thanks to the French colonisation, the flavours are more refined than those of its Thai neighbour. Street food is prolific and it's one of the few countries in the world where you can eat well and hygienically on the street. In the UNESCO World Heritage quarter of Hoi An sits a beautifully restored Chinese house – now restaurant – Ancient Faifo, serving creative French-Vietnamese fare.

Why did you move to Rincon? We moved to Rincon in hopes to start a new and exciting life! Ryan's sister has been living here for about 8 years now, and since they both surf, it only made sense. I just came along for the beaches! ;)
Favorite sandwich shop? Our favorite sandwich shop would probably be the new Island House at Casa Isleña. They're producing delicious (and maybe a little pricey) boars head deli style subs.
Best beach for waves? The best beach(es) for waves really could depend on the day, but most of the time you can't go wrong with Domes or Maria's.
Favorite beach to unwind? The best beach for chilling would be the Marina. No waves ever and a sandy bottom that stays at about 5-6ft deep pretty far out. Sandy Beach is awesome as well, but you have to go on the right day as the current can get really crazy.
Best place to get your yoga on? Yoga! We're fortunate to have a few really great spots for yoga. My two favorites are Barefoot Studio and La Paz.
Best place for live music? Live music can be found at almost any bar on different night of the week! Lucky 13, El Bohio, La Copa Llena, Pool Bar, Villa Cofresi.... The list can go on!
Favorite eats, besides Lucky 13 of course! Mmm favorite eats! We love The Lazy Parrot, La Copa Llena, La Cambija and Ode to the Elephants..just to name a few!
Best place to make out? I'd say the beach of course! But if we're talking romantic restaurants/bars to get your smooch on.... I'd go with Ode to the Elephants, La Copa Llena, The Lazy Parrot or the Zen Garden at Pool Bar.
Hottest people are where? The hottest people are usually going to be at Tamboo or Cocktail Club. Both have fun, wild environments at night where the ladies can dress up and get their dance on!
Coolest thing about Rincon? The coolest thing about Rincon, in my opinion, is the energy it holds. There's so many different kinds of people that come through our little town. It's almost as if a tiny part of everyone gets left in some way or another. Even your worst days in Rincon really aren't so bad. You can find pretty much anything you're looking for from the laid back, relaxation of being in the Caribbean. Or the wild and crazy party scene (of being in the Caribbean). You can live lavishly or off the grid. It's a great place for singles or families. Young or old. Not too many places in the world can you say that about. All the while, we've managed to (somewhat) keep our home a secret.
What's your perfect day in Rincon? My perfect day in Rincon..whew. 80 degrees with no clouds in the sky and a slight breeze. Have a nice home cooked breakfast with (my husband) Ryan on our patio. Go to the beach (Sandy's most likely) all day, having all of our friends surrounding us. Get in some paddle boarding and maybe snorkeling. Maybe pop into Tamboo every once in a while for some cold drinks. Go watch the sunset at Villa Cofresi with some Piratas. Get dressed up nice and choose where to have dinner, then end the day with some cocktails with friends at Casa Verde or Tamboo. ......but that's just coming from a married woman who doesn't surf :P
In your opinion, if Rincon were a pair of pants, what would they be? If If Rincon were a pair of pants it'd probably be white or black linen pants. Nice and breezy for daytime; you can even wear them over your bathing suit to the beach. But can also be transformed for night wear. And they can be unisex. Male and females can both rock some awesome linen pants!< Back to Locals Unzipped

Day 30, nice to see you!
Today marks:
30 days of eating Keto.
30 days of no alcohol.
30 days of Intermittent Fasting.
30 days of personal development.
30 days of no Mexican food.
30 days of living my best life.
30 days of believing in myself, being disciplined, showing up, AND (the most important in my mind) keeping a promise to myself.
That's right – I set a goal and accomplished it. I didn't cheat. I didn't lose focus. I didn't give up on myself. I freakin' nailed it so good!!
(As a complete side note, I've had the image above saved since August 25, 2018. It spoke to me in a way that I wanted to feel so unbelievably connected to the words, but I wasn't there yet at that time. Today I scrolled through my photos on my phone until I found it. I am there. It's taken such a long time, but I want to be friends with my body and treat it in a manner that shows that completely.)
How much weight can you lose by doing Keto?
I ended up losing 15.4 lbs in 30 days by following the Keto diet and doing Intermittent Fasting. Isn't that so crazy amazing? So much weight in such a short amount of time! I am such an instant gratification kind of girl (working towards not being), so seeing that much weight fall off in such a little amount of time was really awesome for me. It definitely kept me going and helped with the motivation no doubt. As I noticed, the weight fell off a lot faster in the first 11-days. After that, it was about the "healthy" 1.5-2 pounds per week.
I never felt deprived or like I was on a diet. Keto is so easy for me because the foods that I love and crave are all Keto-friendly foods and meals. I've found each meal to be very filling and the snacks help in the middle of the day. I cook just about every night now, which is something entirely new, but I really enjoy finding new recipes and trying them out.
What is Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent Fasting is a time approach to when you eat food. You eat during a defined window and fast (only allowed water, tea, and/or black coffee). You don't restrict calories and it's not really a diet. 16:8 is the most common intermittent fasting. It involves eating only during an eight-hour window during the day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours in a 24 hour day. Research has shown that intermittent fasting may support weight loss, improve blood sugar, boost brain function, & increase longevity.
My fasting window has been 11am – 7pm. I followed the 16:8 and found it to be pretty easy (after the first few days). I think it was quite a shock to my body initially, but then my body adjusted to it perfectly. My normal day starts with me waking up around 5am and having black coffee until I eat lunch at 11am. For the first couple of weeks, I drank black coffee and that is tough, y'all. I never got used to it and I sure did miss my one stevia that I used to put in my coffee. I switched over to Bizzy Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate and my morning coffee got increasingly better! It's smooth (bye-bye bitter black coffee) and you can enjoy it cold or hot! I've gotten used to drinking it cold every morning and love the taste! Try it out if you're looking for something new (the reviews on Amazon are the best out there!).
Between lunch and dinner, I usually have some raw almonds, a scoop of Justin's peanut butter, cheddar cheese Whisps, an avocado, or beef jerky as a snack. Around 6pm I eat dinner and then I am finished eating by 7pm. So far I haven't felt hungry late night or early in the morning, which is something I worried about with intermittent fasting.
My 30 day goals:
On my Day 1 of the "living my best life", I wrote in my journal what I wanted to do daily and what place I wanted to be in on my Day 30. Here's what I wrote:
In 30 days:
1. I want to lose 10 pounds.
2. I want to blog at least every other day.
3. I want to be consistent with my leadership skills.
4. I want to feel more comfortable in my skin.
5. I want to add 6 new presenters to my Younique team and really focus on them making money.
6. I want to learn how to get a literary agent.
7. I want to take a bikini picture to see the difference from Day 1's bikini picture.
8. I want to be proud of myself for not giving up.
To be honest, I did just about everything except the literary agent part, but I am proud of myself and that's the most exciting! Feeling comfortable in my own skin again is such an amazing feeling! Although I'm not quite ready to post my bikini pictures, I know I will be soon enough. The best part though? I didn't lose any focus, especially with food or alcohol. I adjusted, planned accordingly, and never once felt like I was doing something really hard or that I didn't want to do. Whether it was a tough day or it was a friend's birthday, I never deviated. Not even one time. I honestly don't even know that I can say that about much in my past, so this is a huge victory for me!
In order to feel comfortable in my own skin, I've taken more time for myself. There has been a huge amount of personal development, podcasts, documentaries, and just overall self-love poured into me over the past month. I've found that walking or riding my bike (even for just 30-minutes a day) helps me to get in that good headspace and allows time for a podcast. While I've noticed a difference in my clothes and appearance, the inside has gone through a massive change too. I notice that I practice more patience in my every day life and with the people closest to me. I remind myself every day to let the real me out and show up because I've learned that's how courage works. You have to be vulnerable regardless of how the outcome goes. This is definitely something challenging for me and one that I need more time for, but it's getting there. We are all works in progress, right?!
March 25, 2019 to Present Day and what I've learned
I feel like I'm on the greatest discovery of my entire life. I'm growing, learning, becoming a better person (inside and out), and not giving up on myself. I've learned to trust myself just a little more since I'm not giving up on what I want to do anymore. I've learned that I will fall and fail many times, but that I am strong enough to get back up and keep on going. I think the best lesson thus far though, is that I've learned that I am worth every single bit of happiness and just all the good vibes that come my way. I deserve it. I want to live this life making a difference, not just sitting back and letting the time pass.
If anything I've said resonates with you, I hope that you will believe that you too are worth a change. You are worth believing in yourself. You are worth reaching new and greater heights. You are worth growing. You are worth going after your dreams, no matter how many times you've failed in the past. You are worthy. You matter. You are worth all the magnificent things this life has to offer.

It's one of the toughest problems facing any of us in the audio space: How do we leverage social media to spread our actual audio content? This problem is made tougher by the fact that various social media platforms are all in on video and images, but not so much all in on audio. There are a number of platforms available today that attempt to solve that problem and give your audio a chance to go viral. One of my favorites is WAVVE. In this video I'm touring the brand new version of WAVVE with founder Baird Hall. As Baird says, this is the first public peek at their new platform! We … [Read more...]

Video goes viral, but what about audio? I have never even heard the expression "viral audio," have you? "Going viral" means "being shared." So why is it so tough to share audio online? In some cases the sharing capability is clunky or nonexistent. But even where conventional sharing functions exist there are two larger problems: Consumption and discovery. Consumption: Online audio is hard to consume. Okay, not hard, but taxing. If one picture is worth a thousand words, then it takes a thousand words to communicate one picture and – more importantly – the time to consume a thousand … [Read more...]

Reflecting Is a Sign of a Huge Jump About to Occur (Here's a bit of mine & How Much of This Works)
This is a "time" of great reflection, as many look over the year, over their human life, over what they now understand and move into a phase of more commitment to themselves (and all as ONE). This this is a POWERFUL TIME (vibrations) in many ways, as WE now have more SOULS awake on Earth than ever before. Many still dazed, confused and trying to make sense of what doesn't make sense anymore, many ready to let go huge of old programmed realities that no longer serve, many embracing their dreams, many in the BEING PHASE with their consciousness expanding into the ethers/other dimensions to finally see/detach/transcend all of those old things, many moving further into service roles to fulfill their own Soul Purposes/Missions/Roles here, while all are continually going through a huge physical body/life upgrade process to move EACH FURTHER into HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS EXISTENCE....
Heaven on Earth.... is available to all who embrace and are truly ready.... This is a huge journey, an evolving/evolution in every way. A convergence of timelines and existences all in this one right here. (Click Read More below...) ↓↓↓
When we reflect, this is a sign that we are preparing to jump, and because this entire next week/end of 2016 linear year is about reflecting, this is the HUGEST ONE we've experienced ever, in this physical incarnation here. The "new year" technically begins on 12/26....
This has been a HUGE YEAR for us all in a multitude of ways... this entire experience from our initial incarnation/walking in.... bigger than any of us ever knew.... and it continues... and it's always "just the beginning".
For me, wow.... I always share a bit of mine with you. So here we go....
December last year, I went deep into the CORE of all existences, of the galaxies...my consciousness was there, flying through "space" and clearing deep heavy galactic (grid) lines and ancient lineages of heavy duty stuff..... It was also "my final decent" as a higher self, as I experienced "descension" the Solstice 2 years before, after maintaining an ascended state for 2 years prior and then "boots on the ground" in 2013... to "show" how this is done. From the ashes, as the Phoenix we continually rise, as Christed beings "returning", as all things, simultaneously, merging my LeMUrian and Atlantean and Galactic Aspects over the years too... Huge is an understatement ....
In January, igniting the 3-Fold Flame inside of me, working with the Fire of our Kundalini consciously and purely... entering the Purity Phase on a whole new level than the years before....
In the physical, a home dedicated to Sacred Ascension and in-service As Light, with several of those who are thus far my closest SOUL FAMILY here to awaken further, work together, with some to go off to do their own journeys elsewhere, perfectly for them, to spread their own Angel Wings & Phoenix Wings to fly and touch the lives of others too and experience their realities the way that they choose to do.
Completing a Clearing "Twin Karma" cycle over 2 linear years: (I use these words loosely), only because in one aspect it is true, in another it is not, for we go far beyond "just twins", while being our own twins inside too. He wanted no part of waking up, preferring to be oblivious to most all of this because it "messed with his mindset of a world", yet our universes brought us together for our energy fields to merge. My job was to help wake him up through him being EXPOSED to my light/all of this, while letting him go off and experience his own realities too, and not inner-twine our realities, because we are on completely different paths. He was here to awaken me further, by opening my heart to a partner here, which was not an "option" before, in my mind, for WE did not have partners here. He assisted me with clearing old programs held in my own cellular memory (from being a walk-in at this body's age of 3), totally conscious and aware at all time, I maintained my higher aspects of me in every way, experiencing the absolute beauty and purity of a soul bond/connection, while also resolving that which presented as lack of respect, lack of love/openness, lack of everything by him and all around me. In August, I cleared all "twin karma" that we had from all of our infinite existences and while we are connected as souls, he is gone doing his life for himself and I am in gratitude for the many roles we played out. The purest soul and the most human too. All things bring us further into balance and purity within ourselves.
Early in the year, my "current now team" (Awesome Team), Lee Bonde flew over (for himself) and to "train" to my way to help me and take lots of the workload off of me. After a few months, flew mainland to work remotely and do his reality his way. He and I have been through so much and it's awesome to become Soul Family and "have each other's backs"... to come through, to step up, to support each other, inspire each other... and in no way, from a place of any lack.
Then Elizabeth Crooks came on-board a few months ago, to contribute/share her awesome skills in helping get projects together & up online (and more).
At first, they had to work for free, invest, pay their way, they had to step up, they had to commit and SHOW ME they were serious and truly/fully on-board. (It's part of the "new value system process that each has to go through). I had gone through a gazillion that I provided all for first.... waiting for them to come through, teaching me... we don't do this... that's the old human way. The words "Go on, do it yourself, let others join you when they are truly ready. Not before". This is a reversal of everything human. And they did/do.... as we do. :)
Last night the words in reflection were "When I stopped waiting for others to step up, I stepped up. Then I didn't need them to anymore". This has been powerful for me for years as I Quantum Timeline Jumped and others had to keep up with me if they wanted to be a part of "this" and making a difference together and fully-in-service to also abundantly receive.
Now, I have a team that I pay to work full-time, as most have no idea how much work we do... and the more of us come together and DO, the more we all receive to share and support us all. Everything is backwards/the opposite of the "lower vibrational dimensional realms".
Humans show up with their hands out, wanting something for them. In every capacity, WE have to PROVE OURSELVES (to ourselves/Universe/Us) and transcend our own humanness. Our Universe (US) provides FOR us when we step-up FULLY and come through.... and each will come to understand this the higher in vibrational frequencies we go.
As a Team, we share & We support each other in every way. We honor each others choices and space, and we come together in every way. All money that comes in supports us all. Human says "that is mine" and thinks about themselves. I've shared everything for years, supported and used everything that I have for all of us, whoever was with me at the time. It didn't matter, because this is how we DO HIGHER DIMENSIONAL REALITIES here now.
Unconscious Human aspects cannot share, are selfish and think only of themselves. They show up when they want something and they "disappear" when things are awesome for them....then they come back around when it's not. I "learned" (realized) these patterns (energy) years ago. I stopped feeding this energy anymore. I stopped allowing those who didn't respect and appreciate me as I came to love, respect and appreciate myself. I started returning the GIFT OF RESPONSIBILITY to everyone and I focused every bit of my own energy and resources on what was truly important (as a SOUL) and I stopped allowing LESS in my own immediate world, as humans will try to keep "being less" when it isn't true, yet the belief is so deeply ingrained that often we have to let them go to have experiences to assist them break those patterns for them. When resistance and fight is too strong, then this serves no one. Passive aggressive resistance is a human protection mechanism that takes awhile for each to see within themselves. My role was to love them, respect them, appreciate them, have gratitude for them and release them to go figure it out for themselves.... and if/when we hit that vibration to come back together to all pull our weight and contribute, then we will. It's beyond beautiful and it's the loving and respectful thing for us all to do. If not, it wasn't meant to be and we totally understand and respect this too. Everything is exactly as it's mean to be. Divine Order is always present.
Here we do not judge, here we don't impose, and we don't allow the old programs to continue anymore. Here we are all equal, hierarchy completely goes (this is a human thing too). Here we work together, live together (or apart), play together and share, support, inspire, contribute from our hearts/souls..... fully..... with everything that we have access to and are.
This has been a year of accomplishments, of completion in every way. Embodiment on a whole new level than ever before, as before it was an individual aspect, then a few of them, then balancing each of them and working out any distortions still left so a complete merging of all aspects of the OVERSOUL could occur within. This year it was just maintaining my presence as all of them, inside of me... with the depths of my own soul fully visible, shared and simple.... it is very simple here.
This year has been awakening masses even more than the previous years, sharing massive amounts of light encoded information to assist, reaching more and it's so very cool, as it started out in the thousands at the first of the year and this year grew into several million and continues to grow from there.
No, I don't get to interact with each person, but I do get to touch and connect with each soul in ways that human's can't. I work with the most amazing beings, share my life with those who are truly all-in/share/support me too and I share/inspire/uplift/support in every way that is appropriate (humans often require different responses), while honoring me and what I am here to BE & DO too.
This is not just a completion year, it's a completion phase and for me a completion of this whole existence thus far. Entering Avatar Consciousness & OverSoul Embodiment mid-year took on a whole new facet and still there's sooooooooooo very much more to come!
Quantum Existence is not for the faint hearted... it takes (my phrase) growing Wings with Balls (don't steal it, as it's my tagline for the Upcoming Ascension Boot Camp and the term I used when I first activated my own Divine Masculine while standing in my Divine Feminine years ago). Yep, we do it then we understand. lol....
Here, you gotta challenge yourself if you want to do this easier. You have to stand in your power to become a CREATOR, ALCHEMIST and SOURCE INCARNATE here. The pureness that you are, as Divine Essence Love is just a part of it all. The POWER to transcend all, to activate and anchor all and to MAKE IT HAPPEN from inside of you. Each comes to understand when it's time to "get out there" fully and DO it.....
What's coming.... will require that you CHOOSE and COMMIT to which Earth you want to exist on. The old one will intensify collapse, while NEW Earth thrives and is more abundant and easier than ever before. Go inside, access those subtle dimensions and expand across all to achieve all that you came here to BE and DO. As you do, everything comes forth to support you... for you didn't come here to fail.... you came here to AWAKEN and COME ALIVE FULLY again.
You can't mess this up or "do it wrong". You experience everything exactly as you are meant to. Being conscious gives you a active choice in HOW YOU EXPERIENCE all.... Your developed Crystals and fully activated Quantum Cells give you abilities you did not have as a sleeping/unconscious human. Yet you must DESIRE this more than you choose to listen to fear, lack and sit in judgment trying to hold onto old things that create the illusion and discomfort of suffering. The more your body evolves energetically, the more realities are energetic and easy ... the more human, the more physical density and the more physical this experience is. Each must cycle/move through every dimension and aspect, cleansing distortions and embodying more light to physically transcend the entire human/all existences from within.
Pick... your human existence or your SOUL existence.... for each experience will reflect your choice. Trying not to choose transmits resistance out to reverberate an experience back ... this is how all realities work. They are a "return" of frequencies and energy transmitted out that cause physical matter to take form and feed that energy back to each one of us. WE are DOING ALL OF THIS TO US. Avoidance creates resistance and discomfort until all unconscious energy is gone. ♥
I love you guys! We've got this. Now who is ready for even more awesome than we've experienced thus far? Lighting the trail, opening those portals and holding those gates open for all who are ready to JUMP WITH US/ME. Keep going. Don't look back. All will dissolve in the dust that you leave behind and blow those higher dimensional doors wide open for you! ♥
Happy magical everything! ♥

Information and Support
Everything we provide, share, and offer, is a way for each to choose consciously what each values as important and worth, in supporting and accelerating their own heart-opening experiences here, as well as further activating their own LightBody too. Each one of us does this differently, yet to understand that all is important and serves a much bigger picture/purpose, we start to understand that Energetic Exchange is a way to respect, reciprocate, gift and in-turn support the vastness of what we receive ENERGETICALLY and that all of these things are just tools and ways to activate, therefore it's not about a "thing" anymore.
All are here because they receive something, through the Light Encoded sharings and various ways to activate, elevate and expand by way of opening our Universal/Cosmic heart/ higher mind chambers and Gateways, often in seemingly unorthodox ways. By combining various activation tools and utilizing each for the purposes of stimulating and awakening pure beauty, kindness and a deep sacred connection from deep within, all of these "things" are just something that we each consciously choose to use. The value is not the value of a "thing", yet instead the value of what we decide is our reasonable exchange in order to receive heart-opening Soul activations, which is determined by how we utilize these "things". The value is determine by you, how you value and place worth on your your own Awakening Soul journey, and what tools you feel will most benefit and assist you with this. The value is the value you place upon yourself, your energy and what you choose to utilize to accelerate your own awakening journey and current (LightBody) phases you are in.
The tool itself doesn't matter. Your openness, your making a conscious choice and deciding what's important and how you desire to do this for yourself, as what "things" you feel will most benefit you in opening your heart. Your conscious choice is a very important part of the your own Awakening processes here.
Through our own higher states of love-consciousness, we take the focus off of the thing and we shift it to what we feel will most assist us with our current processes and phases. We shift the value off of the "thing" and onto our energy, our vibration, our LightBody, and what we feel will assist us with opening our hearts to/through more beauty, unity, kindness and love.
Our Entire Value System evolves, as we start to value ourselves and our Light/Energy, we start to value the energy, the work, the contributions of others too.
Here, each is supporting ENERGETICALLY the work, the programs, services, those working in Dedicated Service to create, share and provide the vastness of all that is offered to support, inspire, awaken, assist and consciously evolve.
Each is contributing to a much higher purpose, the Evolution of a much Higher Consciousness HUmanity. Your CONSCIOUS EXCHANGE becomes a part of this. ♥
In essence, what you are investing in, is your own SoulBody/LightBody and you are consciously choosing (free-will) activation tools to work with, in order to further assist you with the acceleration of this. You are exercising a conscious exchange of Love Energy (In form) in order to do this, which will in-turn assist with fulfilling higher purposes and Service to HUmanity roles here.

Scientists are also looking at stem cells from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, but Cytori thinks the money is in the fat.
The company wants to be one of the first to commercialize the use of stem cells from fat and bring new therapies to patients. "There are broad markets for our platform technology," Chief Executive Christopher Calhoun said. "Stem cells work in a variety of ways and are going to work for treating a variety of conditions, by turning into muscle or bone or cartilage. And that on its own creates a lot of different opportunities."
Lets say this article written by Terri Somers, is nice, but not really outstanding Its very special though, since it was the first full article written by any media writer on Cytori and appeared already in early 2006. Not surprisingly in the website edition of a local newspaper- Signon-SanDiego.
Link to the original article - HERE
Last month, the company gained European regulatory approval to begin using its machine, called the Celution System, in clinical trials on humans. Cytori plans to begin using the system in clinical trials outside the United States in applications on the heart, said Dr. Alex Milstein, vice president of clinical development.
It's also planning to begin studies in Japan using fat-derived stem cells in reconstructive surgery. Meanwhile, the company is pursuing U.S. regulatory approval for its system as a medical device. If the company can clear that hurdle, its plan is to begin clinical trials in the United States, using the fat-derived stem cells in cardiac applications, spinal disc regeneration, gastrointestinal disorders and peripheral vascular disease, Milstein said.
The magic of stem cells is that they are the building blocks of the different types of tissue in the body. Cytori deals with what are known as "adult" stem cells, which are programmed to become a specific cell type: bone, blood, nerve or tissue. Studies have shown that adult stem cells sit within reservoirs in fat, bone and blood until they are called upon to repair a broken bone or damaged tissue.
They are different from embryonic stem cells, which are formed just days after conception and develop into the many different cell types in our bodies.Embryonic stem cell research has been controversial because it requires the destruction of embryos, which some people believe are lives that should be protected. Each type of stem cell is showing scientists that it has its own unique qualities. And each requires different methods for retrieval.
Only a small amount of stem cells can be pulled from bone marrow, Milstein said. To create a sufficient amount for therapy, the marrow must be sent to a lab where it is used to grow more cells. This process, called culturing, can take two to four weeks. It's expensive – estimated to cost about $30,000 – and requires the patient to make a second visit to the doctor to receive the therapy, Milstein said.
Cytori focuses solely on retrieving its stem cells from fat, which is more plentiful, easier to retrieve and therefore less expensive, Milstein said.
"Most people, including myself, have fat they wouldn't mind getting rid of around their waist . . . or their love handles," Milstein said. But even thin people have enough fat to provide stem cells, he said.
Cytori didn't start out obsessed with fat. The company was founded in 1996 as MacroPore Biosurgery and focused on orthopedic implants, which it still sells. The company went public in 2000, trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange. Two years later, founder Calhoun met UCLA professor Marc Hedrick, who first discovered stem cells in fat. Hedrick had founded StemSource.
In 2002, the companies merged and Hedrick became president. Last year, MacroPore changed its name to Cytori and began trading on the Nasdaq, where shares sold yesterday at $7, giving the company a total stock value of $106.7 million.
For the first nine months of last year, the company reported losses of $12.2 million on revenue of $4.9 million. As of the end of the third quarter 2005, the company employed 130 and had $10 million in cash and cash equivalents. In November, it received $11 million by entering a collaboration with Olympus. And earlier this week it reported it received an $11 million milestone payment from Olympus for receiving European regulatory approval.
Some Californians are making nonmonetary donations to Cytori every week. The company receives liters of raw material from people who agree to allow the fat removed from their bodies during liposuction be used in research. The pinkish-orange fat tissue is first transferred into a small centrifuge containing enzymes that help digest it, separating the yellow-tinged fat cells from pink regenerative cells that include stem cells, collagen and other tissue scaffolding.
The desired regenerative cells are then skimmed off and placed in a larger centrifuge, which goes through a relatively quiet spin cycle to rinse the cells with a saline solution and further separate the stem cells from other cellular material.
The final product is the color of pink lemonade.
The stem cells in about one cup of fat can generate what Cytori currently considers to be a therapeutic dose, Milstein said. The system would allow a doctor to remove a small quantity of fat from a patient and process out the stem cells and regenerative cells within an hour, so that they could be injected into the patient in real time, he said.
Giving the patient his own stem cells as a therapy should avoid THE issue of rejection by the autoimmune system, he said. Since Cytori is not manipulating the cells in any way, and the machine would be used to inject patients' own stem cells back into them, the company hopes regulators will consider it a medical device.
That would require a much faster and less-complicated approval process than for the approval of drugs or therapies. The company envisions that its final system, which the Japanese company Olympus is helping Cytori refine, would be placed in a hospital surgery suite or catheter lab.
As a doctor is snaking a catheter into a patient's heart, the machine could be separating the stem cells from fat for injection when the doctor is ready. Making the system affordable is the key to grabbing investor interest, said Stephen Dunn, an analyst with Dawson James Securities in Boca Raton, Fla. Stem cell therapy is considered personalized medicine, meaning therapies are tailored to individual patients' needs and genetics. Investors have objections to putting their money behind personalized medicine because typically therapies are thought to cost about $30,000, Dunn said.
"To be commercially viable, and reach the point where insurance might cover it, the cost to the hospital or doctor needs to be about $5,000 or less," he said. Adult stem cell therapies, such as the one Cytori is pursuing, seem to be in that range, he said. Good clinical data would also help an unknown company such as Cytori get on investors' radar, Dunn said.
"The issue now is for Cytori to go through the steps to collect that data, showing its system can be used in effective and safe therapy," he said. "My job is to professionally handicap biological technologies, and Cytori looks pretty good. So far I haven't seen any red flags." Even if the therapy appears to work, there could be other questions.
As a cardiologist, stem cell researcher Dr. Judy Swain would like to see the company collect data showing that the restorative effects of the therapy for heart ailments is a result of the stem cells and not the other matter, like growth factor, in the space between the cells. "I'd like to see them label the cells that are injected and show whether the cells stay where they are injected," said Swain, who is UC San Diego's dean of translational medicine. "Do they divide? Do you get more? Are they in sync with the other electrical impulses in the heart muscle?"
"Most other tissue and organs, you can put extra cells in and if they are not doing any good, at least they won't do anything bad. With the heart, those extra cells have the potential to do something bad electrically," Swain said.
Cytori executives say they do not know if the fat-derived stem cells alone are responsible for the restorative results shown in animal studies. Once the company passes its regulatory hurdles, Calhoun said, studies on the efficacy of the therapy and characterizing the cells functions are priorities they will tackle with collaborators.
If the stem cell business takes off, Cytori already has a secondary business up and running: a stem cell bank. "We're really not marketing it right now," Calhoun said. "But younger fat appears to be much richer in stem cells." People could have their stem cells harvested early, he said, bank them and rest easier knowing they are there should they be needed.

Easy! Made six cards!
The cardstocks are Core'Dinations, left the blue alone but used my edge distresser on both the orange pieces. Inked the patterned paper, around the verse and the embossed butterflies.
I placed the butterflies and verse on each card dependent on the patterned paper scraps. The small blue gem draws your eye across the card. The butterflies are popped up with one wing glued down to create a bit more dimension (thanks for the tip Marianne!).
I am going to enter this into the Blue Moon contest (see links). This isn't a "best card" winner but maybe I will inspire other beginner card enthusiasts?

Fast forward a few years and I'm still striking a pose, only the casting has changed to my beautiful baby boy, Deco. Shh! Don't tell Babs, she'd die of jealously.

Jesse and I have been working non-stop on his Kickstarter campaign for American Psycho the musical. Needless to say we've been living and breathing all things Patrick Bateman for the past few weeks so when we thought of making a baby morning routine for Mother's Day, we really couldn't resist. I have a feeling we'll be out a lot of money for Dec's therapy sessions someday… Hope you enjoy!
And be sure to follow Patrick Bateman on Twitter for all the AP updates! follow Patrick Bateman on Twitter
This signed copy of American Psycho is just one of the very cool rewards on the AP kickstarter page. If you are still reading this and have not visited Jesse's page (did I mention it was American Psycho on Kickstarter?) I'm thinking you are a robot whose programmer forgot to write code for basic knowledge of pop culture combined with the human emotion called curiosity.
My hubby, Jesse Singer, is producing AMERICAN PSYCHO, a musical based on the book by Bret Easton Ellis. And last week he boarded the roller coaster ride named "kickstarter" to raise funds for the production premiering in London, December 2013. In true wifey fashion, I've put aside my usual Internet shinanigans to help Jess get the word out. Soooo if you have somehow found this post on the world wide (and incredibly overpopulated) web – here is his Kick(ass)starter page. It's got a very high cool factor so check it out.
Still on the page? Hangout with me on g+! Well, watch a recording (that has horrible sound delays – I can't decide whether to blame Google or my slow Internet connection. Probably my slow Internet connection. Write "I need to install new router" mantra 100 times.) of me hanging out with myself on g+. For lots of blank stares and keyboard sound effects click here.
So I was feeling pretty rotten this past week, so of course I decided to shoot a video from my "sick bed" instead of getting some much needed sleep. Brilliant. Originally I had planned to make a fun video about a beer pong tournament I was in the previous weekend, but of course all my plans fell through when I feel ill and spent what little energy I had caring for Baby Deco.
PS I know the pop phone thing is kinda weird, but get used to it, cause I'm too cheap AND busy to figure out a better solution right now.
I recently did a collab with the awesome Turkish technology review channel, iPhonedo on YouTube. And since the video posted last week the awesome peeps of iPhonedo have been arriving on my channel SuperCaliListic. So cool. One tiny setback…I don't speak Turkish. So this video goes out to the iPhonedo Army. Thanks for all the love and I hope you enjoy hanging out in Super Cali Land!
Bütün iPhonedoculara teşekkür ederim.
Yakınlarda, YouTube'dan iPhonedo isimli harika bir Türk teknoloji kanalı ile çalıştım. Geçen hafta video yayınlandığından beri, iPhonedo izleyen harika insanlar benim SuperCaliListic isimli kanalıma uğramaya başladılar. Ne güzel. Bir tek minik problem var ben Türkçe bilmiyorum. Bu videoyu iPhonedo ordusu için hazırladım.
Gösterdiğiniz ilgi ve sevgiden dolayı hepinize çok teşekkür ederim. Umarım SuperCaliLand'de geçirdiğiniz vakitten memnun olmuşsunuzdur.
I was recently in a collab with the YouTube channel iPhonedo – technology reviews for Turkey. It was a super fun shoot and although I don't speak Turkish, from what I can SEE it seems pretty funny. Check it out. 🙂
AND iPhonedo used some of the footage to make this GarageBand music video. Very cool:
Often when I walk up or down stairs I find myself thinking about scenes from an Alfred Hithcock film or M.C. Escher's "House of Stairs". Tuesday as I walked up this particular set of stairs I decided to film the experience. Click to watch:
The grandparents are in town so Jesse and I decided to go to his office to do our taxes. Let's just say I'm hard at work. Hard at work analyzing how my sweater makes me look like a matronly librarian type while I spin around the room. Let's just say I'm not the paperwork type and I'm avoiding my very intricate receipt filing system. Which consists of wading up all my paperwork into a tiny little box and then sorting each meaningless scrap the day before my taxes are due.
So my husband is producing the musical American Psycho and the other night he brought home a very lifelike and therefore very scary Patrick Bateman doll. I kinda freaked out and banished the figurine to his office. Click to watch.

Friday Funday brings you some fun and interesting links from my travels around the internet during the previous week.
My Mother Is Insane [del.icio.us]
No matter how messy you think your living space is, this probably beats it. And I thought I spent a lot of money on eBay. Please note that this is not in reference to =my= mother, who throws away important things (like owners manuals) if they're left out on the coffee table too long.
Barcode Yourself [del.icio.us]
This would have been perfect back when I wanted to get a barcode tattoo (if you don't already know, feel free to ask me why getting a tattoo is probably not a good idea – especially a barcode one).
Motion Induced Blindness [del.icio.us]
This stuff is blowing my mind. I love optical illusions. I want to paint some of these on my walls and trip people out when they come over.
Amazon.com: Free Music Downloads [del.icio.us]
Did you know that Amazon had a page listing all of the free, no-DRM MP3s available for download on their site? Neither did I. Yet another reason why Amazon kicks ass.
UPDATE: Here's an RSS feed of Amazon's free d/ls.
Identity Card Concept Project [del.icio.us]
I saw an article about some of these cards several years ago and thought they were super-cool. This site not only has all the cards I saw back then, but several others that I had never seen before. I want some of these.0 People like this. Be the first!

How To Enable Twitter Two-Factor Authentication
Twitter has added support for third-party two-factor authentication Apps, make it harder for hackers to break in and keep accounts much safer. Previously, you either have to turn on SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) or generate a one-time login code. Now you can use third-party authentication apps like Google Authenticator and Authy.
There are many online services that don't offer two-factor authentication (2FA) nowadays, but Twitter is very late but on track. Still, it's better late than never for those of us who want to keep our accounts safe from hackers.
To turn this feature on, Here is how to set it up:
- Install a two-factor authentication app like Google Authenticator or Authy, and set up your personal account with the service on your phone.
- Log in to your Twitter account and then navigate to Settings.
- Under the Security head, check the box that says Verify login requests and type in the verification code you receive via SMS on that page.
- Next, click the button labeled Setup a code generator app; You will see that a bar code is promoted along with the instructions.
- Open the two-factor authentication app on your device that you installed earlier and use it to scan the bar code.
- You'll now see a six-digit code labeled Twitter in your 2FA app. The next time you try to log into Twitter, you'll be prompted to enter this code that changes every few seconds. It works even if your phone is offline.
What are your thoughts on Twitter's two-factor authentication?

Carrie R. Graveel, PhD
Senior Research Assistant Professor
Van Andel Research Institute
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Current Research
Goal: To identify novel targets for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
Impact: Drs. Graveel, Vande Woude, and Tsarfaty are investigating how a gene called MET promotes the spread of breast cancer (metastasis) and resistance to therapy in patients with aggressive breast cancers. They hope to identify biomarkers of response to therapy and identify new approaches for preventing metastasis.
What's next: The team will continue to pursue genes that play a role in breast cancer risk and treatment resistance.
In order for breast cancer to spread to other locations in the body, cancer cells must break away from the primary tumor and travel through the blood or lymph system before invading distant tissues. Oncogenes are genes with potent tumor promoting effects. Drs. Graveel, Vande Woude, and Tsarfaty are studying the oncogene MET which promotes metastasis and resistance to treatment. They are using laboratory models to investigate how MET drives these activities in aggressive forms of breast cancer.
Full Research Summary
Research area: To understand how tumors spread to other tissues and identify new targets for therapeutic development.
Impact: Breast cancers that spread to other tissues—a process called metastasis—have evolved to gain a survival advantage that makes them resistant to cancer therapies. There is no cure for metastatic breast cancer and an urgent need to find effective therapies to both prevent breast cancer from spreading and treating it in those diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. The research team of Drs. Graveel, Vande Woude, and Tsarfaty have been studying a potent driver of metastasis called MET. With BCRF support, their work has led to new insights into the activity of MET in promoting the motility and survival of cancer cells and identified other genes that partner with MET in its metastatic program. Collectively, their work is increasing our understanding of how cancer cells gain the ability to spread and form new tumors and will inform new strategies to treat and prevent metastatic breast cancer.
Current research: The research team will continue ongoing studies using specially designed laboratory models to delineate the role of MET in breast cancer metastasis.
What they've learned so far: In the last year, the team identified several genes that modify the ability of MET to promote breast cancer initiation and progression; defined several metastasis-promoting programs activated by MET; and discovered that MET expression is found at high levels in some tumors from patients with estrogen receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancers.
What's next: Using their unique laboratory models and expertise they will identify and characterize the modifier genes that promote MET-mediated tumorigenicity. The relevance of these modifier genes will be examined in human breast cancers. They will further interrogate the role of MET inhibitors in aggressive breast cancer. Overall, these studies will provide an unprecedented view of the genes that influence breast cancer tumor initiation and progression and identify potential prognostic signatures and therapeutic targets.
Dr. Carrie R. Graveel earned her PhD. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002. She then served as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. George Vande Woude at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) from 2002-2007. In 2007, Dr. Graveel became a Research Scientist and in 2010 was promoted to Senior Research Scientist. In 2011, Dr. Graveel became an Instructor in the VAI Graduate School and in 2013 was named a Research Assistant Professor in VARI. Dr. Graveel's work was the first to determine that a mutationally activated receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) can induce diverse tumors in vivo. In 2009, she was the first to demonstrate that the MET oncogene plays a critical role in triple-negative breast cancer and may be an attractive target for clinical treatment. Recently, her laboratory demonstrated that MET may play a role in therapeutic resistance of HER2+ breast cancers. Currently, her work focuses on how receptor tyrosine kinase signaling networks drive tumor progression and can be leveraged to develop effective therapeutic strategies for triple-negative breast cancer patients.
