Congratulations about getting for far in the competition! Don't worry about not following trends! I reckon that a good stylist knows good clothing which suits the person they style, not just how to follow recent trends x xReplyDelete

It's so refreshing to see another blogger who doesn't follow trends. If I see an item of clothing I like I buy it, I mean I'm still wearing tops that are considered 'summer' under my jumpers at the moment. I don't set out to buy something just because it fits in with the trends of the season/year.ReplyDelete
The outfit looks lovely, I'm really into my shorts so this look is right up my street! I like how you've added a girly edge with the pink cardigan, its lovely.
Well done in the compitition; you deserve it!

Love this outfit! Those shorts are perfect and I love that you are so honest about your trend following. I don't follow them either, If I like something I don't care if it isn't 'in style' I will wear it anyway!ReplyDelete

After the vision, I feel as if I am tilted and meant to fall onto the tray, to which Jamie grabs the yoghurt and tells me to eat, as I try to swallow and he tells me that it's just in the beginning, that it gets better and I feel like clawing his back, my head starting to spin harder, blurring the edges of the vision as I just press my head against his now near shoulder, he just sits closer. I sigh, getting one of his arms and putting it around me, as he only tightens his grip lightly, I wonder how deep is love even planted and how much should you dig to reach your fate.
Alex throws stars.
"It's odd... you have different memories." I start speaking. "And I seem to be getting them."
His touch is even much more loved than familiar. Everything would be repeated and my own first kiss is different from his. Because he had already loved me twice. It's as if I had lost my memories but I had never built them in the first place and I wondered how often had the wind blown in our faces and how much would the whirlwinds even give us anything and how many times had we traced the walls while kissing somewhere in a close. I wondered how much had I loved him or had he been the one always pulling me down, together? I wonder if the same love I hold for Alex is being erased and just drawn pencil links for Jamie now, as I feel as if the world changes under the mind and his memories, which make it even more odd as if he could rearrange anything-
like the bridal dresses
on top of his
I eat more yoghurt again, taking his arm off as he keeps his own silence, looking at the walls which I'm sure he's very well known off and I feel cold and lonely without his touch, but instead I cross my legs on the bed. I tap my index finger against the yoghurt box.
"You own a store, yeah?" He looks at me surprised and I just feel more cheating, as if I finding the answers to an exam in front of me and writing them down with confidence and understanding that this happens with the sole stroke of luck you could perhaps do if you could destroy something. I remember when I was growing up, my mom told me that there is a specific rock which supposedly if you break in two, you'd be able to change something under your bare hands. I wondered what that thing was and it had given me nightmares because what could one person do and if they could switch one jenga piece in a game, which one would they and would they be careful or would they just lose because it would get them out of the current arrangement? I dreamt that I had taken a hammer and knocked it down, but I never knew what I had wished, because like all dreams whether they come at night or at day are forgotten.
And I presume so had mine, if I had truly done that.
He interrupts my thinking and I wonder how had he bent everything for his one desire and I wondered why is it so that we manage to find ways to get what we most desire and how do we even manage to do so and would luck even exist in this place or is it because of our actions? What freewill do we have if time doesn't exist and by the end of the day we can play the role of God to a bigger extent until we can't cary the weight anymore and we die, just like God would. And I wonder how come some Gods existed and some didn't for that matter.
"Yeah, it's a vintage store, pretty much with everything. We can visit it anytime. It started off quite a while ago and I ended up getting it and I've worked there as well, as running it. It's just... really pretty and that had gotten me through out my childhood, just making sure to pop in and go through things, which people had given in. Then when I started working I ended up really liking reading there in breaks, as people would head out to eat. I always ended up there and the first thing I actually did when I got the store was actually sleeping there. There's the first room, which has the entrance and it has bridal dresses on the top and I had slept there, curled up and oddly enough I was reading a book about vampires back then." He paused. "It's weird to know that something like wishing I was one, given immortality would suddenly become real and not as bloody."
"Maybe coz you haven't killed too many yet." I shudder, recalling Alex draining men's blood and his one time story that there was a period where he would go to different bars or drive around the country just to make sure to get much more men and I wondered if he had done that with Miles as well. The image of them biting the same man seemed privately erotic to me, but I shrugged it off with a blushing jealousy as I still wondered where was Miles and how had he looked like and how come he was easily discarded. What if getting rid of other lovers was the reason we would break the stone into nothing? And why was it a stone? Was that a metaphor that the hardest, oldest things can easily be broken by our own freewill and intense desire to wreck things?
I'm awfully tired and I frankly did this because I was dying to write Bar Eyes even if I barely had the chapter even started and I try to stick to my maximum 3 days break between posting and I've been awfully tired since as usual moving apartments ends up with bullshit like people cancelling last minute even with a contract. Fun. Not really. Sucks awfully. So yeah.
So I haven't been writing that much, but here I am and because of that it's harder naturally to write a chapter or in general to write and frankly my hands are even tired from typing, so I'm sorry if it's short.
The main point of this chapter was the monument, like I was thinking if I should even talk about it in the backstory, but the UL/BR universe is very complex so I'll go there. First things first the UL/BR universe is kind of a turnt over in what I believe in since I'm religious and spiritual. It kind of goes onto the freewill and actually like Alison said made everyone like God, which I think has a lot of roots from Neon Genesis Evangelion's human's desires to be God, only in this case they can become so by different things even if it's minor because frankly by the end of the day we all very often have someone or a few people as our ultimate desire. So the story plays on that, since Jamie here ended up doing what he could to get Alison, while everyone kind of goes on with that ideology really.
I ended up getting worried and I kind of get nervous what if I can't do the odd story telling I used to be able before when I was very depressed and then I would just write things like Schizomilk and Special K, but I still have things like Sultry Room these days and now I focus on more realistic or surreal yet realistic things. But it still went on to be well and kind of explanatory. In Alison's dream it's a reference or an explanation to the monument Alison destroys in Used Lighter, which gives the entire story a very closed circle as everyone is frankly doing everything to get the other. BE was a prologue to tell the rest of the story when UL really explained and told everything on it's end besides the monument, to be honest I like closing off things or leaving open but explained and the monument was that one thing and I just wanted to explain it now with the fact that I had really just thought of it and plays in with the whole accessibility to be God.
Writing BE is a bit weird because it's frankly such a filled Edinburgh story and I haven't been there in years and I'm not sure I'd ever have the stomach to step there again with everything. I don't think I'd manage because I really loved the city and I never expected such things to happen, so it's rather painful to write about places I've loved, which inspired me and so on. But I love it because it matches the story and many stories had the same setting so it's really felt.
I kind of wanted to address since well, I wanted to be a vampire so I wanted kind of Jamie to go, yeah, I wanted to be one and since they're rather different that it's quite a contrast. I hadn't entirely decided how Jamie got the store, since I already have him as inheritance in Blue/Jacket so yeah. I have an idea, I'll see 8) And I just wrote it down rather nicely xD so you'll see how in the next chapter ^^
I'll work more on Miles, trust me more is coming 8) yay Milex XD
I hope you enjoyed it and thank you

More facts have emerged on the circumstances that led to police' discovery of the location/hideout of the notorious Kidnap kingpin, Evans leading to his arrest on Saturday.
Sources attributed it to an informant residing in Magodo and intelligence reports that revealed identities of his three girlfriends.
It was gathered that after the Inspector-General of police deployed his Intelligence Response Team to track the notorious kingpin, they made huge progress from the documents recovered from his hideout in Igando, Lagos after the miraculous disappearance of his last victim.
The documents reportedly aided them in identifying occupants of that apartment and opened an avalanche of information leading to Evans movement.
However, the discovery of the fact that he resided at Magodo area of Lagos State was partially attributed to the N30m IGP reward.
A source, who spoke with Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that the leader of IGP's team, Abba Kyari, who was tracking their locations had planned to round-up all the suspects, in one swoop, but his plans failed as Evans was always changing locations, making it difficult to get his exact location.
The source stated further that while Kyari was searching for Evans, he mobilized some residents of Magodo Estate, giving them clear descriptions of Evans, his vehicles and the name of his security man.
IGP, Ibrahim Idris, also announced a bounty of N30million on information that could lead to the arrest of Evans.

The combination of all these led to the rounding up of three women believed to be Evans girlfriends, and they were identified as Amaka, Ijeoma and Ngozi.
The operatives were said to have discovered that Evans was very close to Amaka where he rented an apartment for her in Okota area of Lagos State.
Sources explained that Evans was fond of sleeping in Amaka's house on a regular basis and they decided to use Amaka to lure him however, the kidnap kingpin avoided Amaka for fears that she may have been picked by the police.
However, one of the police informants in Magodo made a breakthrough as the IRT were banking on Amaka, and he called and informed the police that he has located Evans apartment.
He also disclosed that Evans has not been seen around his house for a long time and he was believed to have moved out of his house.
Vanguard source revealed that Evans became highly elusive at this time as he was aware that the police were closing in on him and he moved away from his home and relocated to a hotel in Agidigingbi area of Ikeja. He also moved his wife and children to Ghana and was trying to dispose some of his properties at the time he was arrested.
The final piece fell into on the day of his arrest, according to sources, he was said to be unaware that operatives had located his apartment in Magodo, when he contacted Amaka on Saturday morning.
"He was said to have called her on the phone around 4:15am, without knowing that some policemen were with her and asked her to wait outside her compound to meet him.
She reportedly joined him later at the spot and as soon as she got into the car, he attacked her, threatening to kill her for not informing him about the police presence in her house.
Evans was reported to have gotten angry, driven away with her in his Grand Cherokee SUV and they had an accident at Iyana-Ipaja area where he abandoned the vehicle, seized Amaka's phone and asked her to go home.
It was from there that he picked a cab to his residence at Magodo to pick some few things towards travelling out of the country. After then, we swooped on him and arrested him inside his bedroom."

My Mother Has A Condition
Our most recent family road-trip was a weekend in St. Andrews. We were up with the birds on all the days.
We actually loaded the car on Friday, after a coffee with my Dad in honor of my Grandma's birthday, and I (humbly?) shouted from the blog-tops about the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards.
Baked potatoes and cheese for breakfast on the road, which Isla and I actually paraded in front of cheese-phobic Neil. (She may look like him, but she's a mini-me.)
Now. You might argue that I'm addicted to social media, but before this weekend, I never took my laptop on a family trip. I did have it on our recent trip to New York, but that was two weeks, and I forgot my charger in our car at the airport. A laptop with no juice doesn't count.
This time I took my laptop and triple checked for my charger. I wanted to experiment with hotel writing, and keep up with the Awards buzz.
We arrived in St Andrews and Isla asked if the fire alarm would be going off like last time we were in a hotel.
She compared shoes with the very nice lady at Reception who was very surprised to hear that my tall and talkative child is still 3. (But she's grown out of her 4–5 clothes. Hi, Mom.)
We ate a lovely hotel dinner, which was prime for people-watching and great for our really short commute back to our really hot hotel room. With windows you couldn't open, but an air-conditioner we eventually figured out.
Now. My husband, though I love him with all of my dearlies, is a walker. He is a walker and a computer genius who somehow cannot calculate what 'within walking distance' really means (but who the hell am I to complain about that, really?)
One of my favourite things to do is to get lost with Neil. The possibilities are actually endless, the air smells different and anything can happen.
Like an argument.
'Are we there yet?' From me, not Isla.
'It's just up there.'
We arrive at LOVELY LOOKING CAFE 1. Which would be lovelier if it were OPEN. But it's CLOSED. Because it's 7.30 in the morning. Did I mention that?'
'Dearest husband, why must we be up with the (fucking) birds everywhere we go?'
'Because we're on holiday, (gahddamnit).'
'People on holiday usually get to eat.'
'I offered you muesli, trail mix birdseed at the hotel.'
'That's not holiday food (absolute greatest love of my life).'
'HEY YOU GUYS. THAT PLACE IS OPEN!' says Isla, our darling girl.
And so, we three intrepid travellers found a place where coffee isn't just for Instagram. Where other people began to wander in for their relaxing weekend brunch. Little did they know.
After Isla Amelie-d her raspberries, she actually ate them.
Now. I know this is honestly a first-world problem. But at one point my cutting skills meant my poached egg fell off my Eggs Benedict.
I looked down at my egg and muffin.
'Well, shit,' I mumbled.
'SHIT. SHIT. SHIT', yells Isla.
'Isla, don't say Mummy words. She has a condition, she can't help it,' says Neil.
And yes, people where staring. Hi.
'I've never seen you go that red before, lovely wife.'
'Well played, clever husband.'
I consoled myself from my motherly embarrassment by upgrading my phone. Because I was due for one.
I then disappeared into a bookshop and made friends with a stranger.
How many books can I fit in my suitcase? She asked her husband.
I have the same question.
I buy books to remind me of where I've been.
Me, too.
I think I'll get this one because of my Italian grandmother.
Me, too.
'Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt but Iagreewitheverythingyoujustsaid.'
We traded book recommendations, and Italian grandmother stories, but not names. She asked if I was other things as well as Italian. I must have that kind of face.
'Well, yeah.'
I'm like an everything bagel.
I debated telling her I'm waiting on one of those family history DNA tests. But that wasn't bookshop conversation, really.
We said goodbye and I went to find my people in the children's section.
Neil's sister came to meet us, and we went to a depressing aquarium and an even more depressing beach.
'Should your brother be up on those rocks?'
'Probably not. But they're having fun.'
Isla chose one toy from the gift shop. A plastic princess with a plastic hairbrush. Yes, really.
On our way out I may have driven over the hairbrush. By accident. Yes, really.
That made my kid cry.
She cried so much that some weird stranger actually said, 'Don't cry, little girl.'
Which made her cry harder. And cling to me for 20 minutes. In public. Which rarely happens any more. I kinda liked it. It's nice to be needed.
But I didn't like the my kid crying part, so against everything I stand for, except the making my kid happy thing, I bought her another (gahddamn) plastic princess. Because I drove over the first one. Or something.
We then found a pub that I felt underdressed and slightly too feral to spend any time in. But we had a groovy time. And Isla enjoyed taking the dresses off both her dolls. We're apparently in the naked doll stage of her development.
I had a gin cocktail. Which happens less often than you might think. It was delicious and the gin came from a purple bottle. Kismet. I've since bought a bottle of the lovely gin.
The next day, I felt more creaky than usual. It was harder to swing myself around for my various morning transfers. I didn't particularly know why. Until I looked at the clock. It was 6.30 am. I was half-dressed and already writing words.
'How is it so early?'
'We're still on holiday.'
That day was a butterfly garden and another bookshop. Beautiful.
I had birthday book vouchers to use, and use them I did.
76 bucks worth of books on 75 bucks of vouchers and a stamp card. Do I know how to book-shop, or what? It's like I made a profit.
We packed the car with my new books, and the books that I brought with us.
'Mummy, I think you have a book problem,' says Isla.

Searching for Signs: Practical Advice
Andrea Carrese | Nov 02, 2011 | Comments 0
It's so exciting to discover there's this wonderful, loving world of spirit guides and angels. We're so lucky to have access to this helping hand. So how do you go deeper once you've gotten your first sign from your guides?
When working with your guides the next step is practice, practice, practice. Like with meditation, we meditate once and then we ask what's the next step? The next step is to keep practicing meditation. After you get that first sign from your guides, ask yourself this question when you think about your spirit guides: Am I going to spend more time disbelieving or am I going to go deeper with my guides? Go deeper, I say!
I use nature to communicate with my guides. I see things in plants and animals and in clouds but you may not have access to that, and you're just beginning. My main advice to you is to be open and be present. Once you've asked your guides for a sign, for an answer, be aware of your surroundings, of what's going on, be alert. They are there. As I said in this episode you might be asking for an answer and looking at the clouds, and you're best friend will walk in with a magazine and a page folded over that is exactly what you're looking for. In the beginning, I asked you to test your guides. Like Sheila did, ask to see a rose, or something like that. A rose did appear for Sheila, and from there she kept asking talking to her guides. Her rapport with her guides blossomed. You've got to choose to believe. So you believe, now what?
Many of you have asked what's the next step… It's been hard for me to break it down because the guides are so a part of my life, and I've been doing this for so long. In fact it took me 4 years of asking my guides everyday, waiting for an answer, to find out their names, who they are. So please, don't worry if you're not getting what you want right away, keep asking, you will get answers.
Here are practical tips on how to cultivate a relationship with your guides, how to get answers. Try journaling, as often as possible, about what you're asking your guides and what answers you think are coming to you. Keep track of your questions. And then keep track of the possible answers. Remember: your guides are going to communicate to you using one of your 6 senses. You may hear the answer; you may see the answer. The answer will come. It's your job to keep looking, listening, sensing, to keep asking. A relationship with your guides is like any relationship; it requires open communication, patience, willingness to stay in it and keep trying. Like they say a marriage is work (in the best, most spiritually expanding way!) so is a relationship with your guides.
My other tip for you is if you choose to go down this road with your guides, which I hope you will, commit to it. There are a lot of frustrated spirit guides out there because they've been invited into life to help you, and they're sending signs and talking to you, giving you answers, and you're not paying attention because even though you've invited them in, you're not sure you believe. If you invite your guides in, then believe, commit to believing. Also, remember to invite them in (this is the biggest tip of all). They can't help you unless you invite them in. And they can't/won't interfere with your free will. They will give you answers and advice but it's up to you to listen, to receive. Trust they are there. Trust yourself; trust your guides.
Another tip to go deeper with your guides, to take it to the next level after you get that first sign, is to meditate, quiet your mind, open your heart, be still. Your daily meditation is a great place to start. Practice awareness. Your guides can't help you if you're not open and aware. They may have been answering you all this time but because you've been busy and distracted, you've been unaware of the information coming in. Try 5 minutes of meditation today. (How to meditate? Watch the Happiness Series episode "Take 5" and try these simple tips: Take 5 minutes to talk to your guides in meditation, be still, focus on your breathing, focus on an object while you speak to your guides – like a candle, focus on what you're asking for…)
Another tip: be realistic in what you're asking for… ask for what you need in steps. Example: if you need a job, ask for help with your resume, with connections, start small and then you can go bigger, once that communication line is opened between you and your guides. Include your spirit guides in your innermost thoughts to help you with your immediate problems. They are there for you! And again: keep track of how your answers come to you. This is where keeping a journal is key. If you're not getting an answer to a question, reevaluate that question. Is it the right question? Are you really addressing a problem? What do you most need?
Many people have asked me if we evolve spiritually with our guides. We evolve through our guides. Our guides are already spiritually evolved. They're helping us all to evolve. Because we invited them in (remember, they can only help if they're invited in) they are helping us to fine tune our 7th sense, our spiritual sense. The guides are wonderful tools in life and for going deeper spiritually. Invite them in today.
I'll give you an example from my life on how my guides use signs to point me in the right direction and to give me help. While preparing for the Season 2 Happiness Series shoot, I spent most of one morning trimming some overgrown grasses in my back yard. My mind was racing with thoughts about what to talk about with Sheila. Where do I start? What do I say? It didn't take long for my guides to come in and assist me, there, as I folded back a section of the weeds stood a frog staring up at me! It is said in Native American traditions that each animal that crosses your path has a specific meaning. Lifting the grasses I had trimmed into the wheel barrel I looked up to the sky at a crow circling and squawking to be noticed, I didn't need to look up the definition of crow, whenever it squawks it's a warning message to me… maybe I should go and look up Toad, I thought to myself, and there perched on to of the weeds was a praying mantis! Now there was no doubt my guides were trying to get a message to me. I gave up the rake and the hedge clipper and reached for my Animal Speak book.
Animal Speak is a book written by a Native American named Ted Andrews. It is a comprehensive dictionary of animal, bird and reptile symbolism I picked up years ago. As I may have told you, one of my guides is a Native American who came from a Tribe called Yokowanna, I just refer to him as Yokowanna because it is easier. My fascination with Nature and how it moves through us is endless, so it's no wonder the guides use nature to speak to me.
Under toad, I read to "look for opportunities to assert yourself and develop self-reliance, also to expect lucid dreaming, while asleep and awake…" which was pretty much what was happening, my mind was filled with ideas to share with you. Under praying mantis, I read "the power of stillness" still the outer mind, go within so we can draw upon greater power in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual worlds. The stillness can simply be contemplation, meditation, or even when we sleep to dream! That message from the praying mantis was enough for me to sit quietly and arrange the barrage of messages floating through my mind while listening always to my inner voice.
I find these signs in nature, these plants and animals that appear to me, part of the network my guides have created to communicate with me, to let me know what direction to go in, to offer me warning or comfort depending on what I need. I use clouds too for answers. I find I connect to the natural world. And for me, being in nature, is very important. But for you, maybe you get the signs you need from billboards and conversations with friends. Just remember: nature is there, and if you're present and aware and respectful of the plant and animal kingdoms, your spirit guides will always, ALWAYS, find a way to talk to you.
Let us at Happiness Series know what signs your guides send you, how you talk to them, what works for you and what doesn't. We want to hear from you. Let's all share our stories about this and more!

On June 9, the Missouri Mental Health Foundation hosted the Missouri Mental Health Champions awards and banquet in Jefferson City.
The keynote speaker was Christopher Kennedy Lawford, actor, motivator, and author of four bestselling books – Symptoms of Withdrawal: A Memoir of Snapshots and Redemption (2005), Moments of Clarity (2009), Healing Hepatitis C (2009), and Recover to Live: Kick Any Habit, Manage Any Addiction (2013).
Recipients of this year's award included Kate Certain, Cory McMahon, and Christine McDonald.
Ms. Certain has been described as "a light in the tunnel of mental illness." She speaks to numerous consumers, practitioners, law enforcement professionals, and the general public through a speaker's bureau for NAMI in Kansas City. Additionally, she was recently featured in the Kansas City Public Television (KCPT) film titled Lost Minds: Kansas City's Mental Health Crisis, a documentary which focuses on the growing number of confrontations between people with mental illness and the police of Kansas City's streets.
Through his advocacy efforts, Mr. McMahon is shaping the future of public policy for persons with disabilities. Mr. McMahon is an active and effective participant in public policy discussions that impact persons served by the Missouri Department of Mental Health. He has testified before legislative committees at the State Capitol, collaborating with legislators and their staff to maximize resources for persons with disabilities.
Ms. McDonald continues to inspire others on their recovery journey by advocating and sharing her story of resolve and courage. She is an internationally recognized author and speaker on the social injustices facing underserved populations today. As a survivor of human trafficking, homelessness, and addiction, Ms. McDonald – now blind as a result of a disease that forced her to choose between her unborn child and her eyesight – is on a mission to bring justice and awareness to the forefront of social change through education and unconditional love.

She could have gone to a different pharmacy.
A licensed pharmacist in Niagara Falls is facing charges after police say he compelled a woman to remove her clothes before he would fill her prescription.
Police say Kenzia, a licensed pharmacist at McLeod's Pharmacy on Buffalo Avenue, threatened the customer to notify other pharmacies to not fill her prescriptions if she did not comply with his demands.
He looks somewhat nuts. (my opinion)

What Inspires Your Mind and Makes Your Heart Leap?
If your mind is searching for clues to answer this question you are not alone. Often people are unable to answer this simple question because they are living in what I call "survival mode". I happen to be a master at operating in survival mode as I have spent years living in it. Even today I occasionally get caught in a wave that tugs me back in that direction. What I have learned is that when your day to day revolves around chasing your next have to it is not uncommon to feel numb and/or uninspired by your life.
Survival mode is usually sparked by a life changing planned or unplanned event. It could have been caused by the birth of a child, an ill parent, you starting a new job or possibly your own business. It could be a combination of many things; there are endless possibilities. Whatever happened it seriously disrupted your day to day life. Maybe it felt like a tsunami, or maybe little by little, the time you spent taking care of your physical, mental and social needs evaporated.
When you are living in survival mode, often, you are neglecting important areas of your life (your health, your career, personal life… what ever it may be). However in most moments all your energy is focused on getting through the day. When you wake up in in survival mode it is not uncommon that you immediately leap into action, worried about how you will get it all done. Even if little to none of your have to's excite you, the stress propels you forward.
The most side serious effect of survival mode is that your life begins not to resemble you. Your needs and desires stop being met and you no longer feel inspired or excited about how you spend your time. Even a simple question, like What do you do for fun?, becomes difficult to answer. If the people around you (work, significant other, kids, etc… ) are clear about what they want and are trying to fulfill their needs they may be looking for your help. It is easy to say yes to them, without realizing that this may mean that you are saying no to you. The times that you feel frustrated and even resentful can be softened with the satisfaction that comes from helping others. One of the perks of being needed is that it may help you avoid the unknown. You can claim, with reason, that you do not have time to think about it and/or make changes.
If you resonate with what I am talking about you have a choice. You can continue to live in survival mode or find ways to break free. Survival mode is not a life long sentence. If you cannot connect to your needs and desires it is nearly impossible to get them met. The cycle of filling other peoples needs and your life not moving forward will continue. Living in survival mode for an extended period of time means that you are helping others live their life and forgetting to live your own. Are you ready to start living your live again? If you need a reminder, please know that you deserve to love your life!
Action Ideas & Tips:
Are you ready to re-connect with what inspires your mind and makes your heart leap?
1) Make Regular Appoints with Yourself
Make yourself a priority. Put time on your calendar to give your mind breathing space. It may be helpful to decide that during this time you will do something that is relaxing and adopt the airline take off policy, turning off anything that has a power switch or battery. Eliminating distractions allows us to tune into ourselves.
A few ideas… go for a run, take a bath, read a book, meditate or paint.
2) Start Asking Yourself Questions
If you wanted to get to know another person you would ask them questions and listen intently to their answers. You can get to know yourself by asking questions like the ones below and exploring where that takes your thoughts. Record this in some way.
A few ideas to record your thoughts… write in a journal, record yourself in audio or type the answers on your computer.
A few questions to get you started… What did you do for fun before? What energizes you? What do you miss most about your life?
3) Take Yourself Out
Make plans to go out with yourself. Explore something that interests you to see how you like it. When things get hectic, it is easy to push your needs aside and that is where accountability can help show how committed you are. There are many studies that show when people have something financial at stake they are much more likely to follow through. If you want to work out and are having problems getting your butt to the gym, hiring a trainer can increase your commitment level.
A few ideas… take a class, commit to donating to a cause you don't agree with if you don't meet your deadline or consider hiring a coach.

I'm going to concentrate more on making and keeping appointments with myself for the gym, books I want to read, etc.
Always thoughtful advice! Keep up the great work!
I hope you had a great Christmas. Happy New Year to you and your husband. ( i like saying that). I love reading your news letters. They are always very inspiring, and i continue to be inspired you. I have always admired what you went on to do & I'd love to snip your bangs or give you a big hug soon. XOXO!!! Shannon Ellis.
P.S. I've moved since then. My number is still the same.
This is very good stuff, it seems to me.
I think part of life is knowing how to balance
the needs and wants of others with our own
needs and wants, and that is tricky, to balance
self-giving with self-getting. I think it's
important to consider this prayerfully, and then
to be at peace with God and with ourselves.
By the way, there is a new book out that seems
intriguing to me entitled, "God Wants You Happy:
From Self-Help to God's Help," by Fr. Jonathan Morris.
The title resonates with Laura's encouragement to
love our lives.
Nice work, Laura.

If you are a fan of Tintin, then it is quite natural that you must have fall in love with the Snowy for numerous times. And, while reading that story, you also thought about of getting a white terrier. There is no doubt about that Small Dog Breeds make an ideal companion and a perfect pet to carry at your drawing rooms. They are generally lovable and pleasant in nature. It is often seen that they become the best companion for their owners.
Friendly and lovable
Small Dog Breeds are much active than other species.Manyveterinary doctors stated that these dogs are very active and agile when they are young. These kinds of species love to cuddle with potatoes, or snuggled on the beds.
These dogs come at a very low rate. These species require very little amount of food, and it is quite understandable that it won't hamper your grocery bills. If you are travelling, then you can carry these species with the minimum of effort. Most enticing part is that they are very much children friendly.
Get the best one
A small dog breed weighs around less than 22 lbs. The height of these dogs is not more than 16 inches. These kinds of dogs are almost maintenance free. Apart from occasional brushing, these kinds of dogs don'tneed any sort of special attention. There are two kinds of dogs –dogs with furry hair and without any hair.
Breed like Welsh corgi is a classic example this species. The Queen Elizabeth II of England had a corgi for a particular period of time. Barring Corgi, Toy Poodle, Pembroke shire, Pug are the example of this breed. However, Fox terrier can be become yappy at times. In order to handle them, you may need to send them to an obedience school. However, most dog of this breed doesn't need any kind fussy training.

Truck Driver Forced to Show Birth Certificate Claims Racial-profiling
Abdon, who did not want to use his last name, says he provided several key pieces of information but what he provided apparently was not what was needed.
The agents needed to verify Abdon was in the country legally and it is not uncommon to ask for someone's birth certificate. She also said this has nothing to do with the proposed bill or racial profiling.

Mighty MO Ukulele Festival - a ukulele vacation!
Jerry just so happens to be the owner and luthier of Boat Paddle Ukuleles (and let me tell you, he is creating some SWEET ukes). Back in 2011, he and Janelle decided to organize the first ukulele festival that the state had ever seen, and so was born the Mighty MO Ukulele Festival. This year, they are thrilled to be putting on the 3rd annual Mighty MO Uke Fest in peaceful New Haven, Missouri (just down the road from Boat Paddle Ukuleles). The Cedar Creek Conference Center will play host to this year's festival which is taking place July 11th-14th. You can make plans to join them and get registered here.
Janelle, MMUF event coordinator, told me a little bit about how it all began.
"I've been organizing events for 7 years and am a part time musician as well. My husband had attended some ukulele festivals and we began to discuss the possibility of putting together the first uke fest in Missouri. So, with a little encouragement, we decided to make it happen. The first year, the 2011 MMUF was held in downtown New Haven, MO supported by volunteers from the Riverfront Cultural Society --an organization which I started several years ago. After the first uke fest, we realized that accommodations for food and lodging were too limited and we needed a location that could offer more space with everything on-site. When I discovered that the nearby Cedar Creek Conference Center (which had previously been an exclusive retreat) was available, it was a no-brainer. The Center is a jewel in the sand and a perfect venue for us with a beautiful setting. It was there that I began to really bring all our ideas to fruition, gaining the inspiration I needed to make it a truly exciting event."
Newcomers to this year's festival can look forward to performances by Gerald Ross and the Flea Bitten Dawgs, as well as informal and themed jam sessions for beginners and experts alike. Other festival activities include ukulele workshops, a tour Boat Paddle Ukuleles, and even free luthier service with Jerry Hoffman! Vendors of all sorts will be setting up shop at this year's uke fest and you'll have opportunities to take home some goodies with raffles and silent auctions.
If for some reason that's not enough to peak your interest, Janelle tells us that the resort itself is worth the trip.
"The location is worth noting because it offers a unique setting for the festival. Cedar Creek is a secluded and cozy retreat center on 200 acres in Missouri wine country. One point of interest is the replica of a Western Town on the property which stretches out like a movie set, originally built for the children of the Vatterott family who used the property for their retreat from the city."
As I corresponded with Janelle about the festival, I gotta say, it was very refreshing to hear the enthusiasm and passion in her responses. Simply put, these folks are not just out to make a few bucks and sit in an ivory tower. They genuinely LOVE all things ukulele and are actively taking part in every aspect of the festivities.
I asked Janelle about what she hopes the Mighty MO Ukulele Festival will help accomplish.
"Everyone who comes to the festival, young or old, new or experienced, wants to be inspired to learn more and receive joy playing ukulele. And this comes about in many ways –some are subtle, some are observable. So our mission is to offer as much inspiration and learning as we can in many forms, that fill up all the senses."
So there it have it, folks! Check out the website, get yourself registered, and plan on spending a few days in a relaxing environment with your fellow ukers!

All-Ireland Pole Vaulting
Championships: 10
Record Height: 12' 5" (1957).
Gaelic Football
Clubs: O'Hanrahans, Eire Og, Shamrocks.
County: Carlow.
'I started out with a curtain pole when I was nine years of age. I was friendly with James Dempsey whose family had a hardware shop in Carlow. They had the poles. And I got fond of the vaulting.'
Dinny's octogenarian eyes remain steady as those gathered in the room whoosh at the thought of a nine-year-old whizzing through the skies at one end of a curtain pole. But such are the diminutive beginnings of mighty champions.
Fast forward twenty years and the same small boy was midway through an epic reign which saw him winning the annual All-Ireland Pole Vaulting Championships ten times, including nine in succession from 1952-1960.
Sport is in the blood. The Hylands were originally tenant farmers of the Earls of Portarlington and lived north-east of Portlaoise at Morette, in a landscape called The Heath. Dinny's grandfather and father, both called Michael, were born on the farm in 1852 and 1886 respectively.[i] Michael junior was all set to inherit the farm and had developed a passion for the active life. 'He played Gaelic football and cricket', says Dinny. 'Lord Portarlington would bring teams to play at Emo Court and all the tenant farmers would make an opposing team.'
However, shortly before the First World War, the Hylands ran into a crisis when their two main corn cutting machines broke down. Michael Senior was obliged to sell the farm and relocated to Emo. His seven sons moved to Carlow Towen where Michael Junior and another brother ran a pub on Tullow Street. Like many a publican before and since, they found their generosity got the better of them and they made no money. 'They just weren't able to run it', says Dinny with a sympathetic shake of the head. And so they sold the pub and Michael Junior became a fitter, working first at Richard's Foundry in Carlow, and later as a lorry driver and labourer at The Shamrock. Dinny would similarly spend most of his working life with Thompson Engineering at Carlow's Hanover Works, and later at the town's Hydro-Hoist factory.[ii]
Michael Junior continued to play sport when he moved to Carlow, playing cricket at the club in Palatine and, in the absence of a senior team, playing County Football for the Carlow juniors. In 1913, he played for the juniors who went on to win the Leinster Championship.
Dinny's mother Molly was born in Dublin but came of Carlow stock. Her father Mathew Whelan hailed from a farm at Tomard near Milford and ran a pub in Leighlinbridge. 'Aye, there was a lot of pubs in the family at one point', says Dinny. 'Farms and pubs'.
Michael and Molly married in 1923 and had four boys and three girls. 'I was third from the bottom or fourth from the top', offers Dinny, who arrived in May 1929. He was brought up on Tullow Street, just opposite the Presentation Convent, and educated by the Christian Brothers.[iii]
Not surprisingly, the Hyland children all inherited an instinctive zeal for sport. Dinny's three sisters were feisty table-tennis players. His eldest brother Michael was frequently to be seen swimming in Carlow's rivers and, adds Dinny's wife Delma, he was 'fairly handy with a hula hoop too'.[iv] His late brother Paddy played both rugby and Gaelic Football; he was on the team with Dinny when O'Hanrahans won the Carlow county final in 1945. As for the younger brother Brendan, 'I'm not sure if you'd call it sport, but he was good at playing cards'.
Sporting options were something of a rarity in Dinny's childhood. 'It was during the war years and they hadn't the price of a football', he explains. 'There were some league matches but there were no matches between schools in my time.' On Wednesday afternoons the kids would make their way to run around a sports field on Carlow's Green Road, where the regiments of the British Empire had drilled half a century earlier.[v]
Dinny was the sportiest of the Hyland siblings. From O'Hanrahans, he became one of the star players with the Shamrocks (Carlow's town team), winning the 1949 Carlow Junior Football Club final.[vi] He also donned the red, green and yellow jersey of his county to play half-back for their National Football League campaigns throughout the early 1950s. He won the Dr Humphrey's Cup at the Carlow Championships for the best All Round Athlete in 1952, 1953 and 1954.[vii]
But it was as a pole-vaulter that he became a household name across Ireland. It seems likely people have been using sticks and poles to shoot into the skies since the invention of hands, particularly in marshy areas. The first definitive pole vault competitions appear to be those held in Ireland during the Tailteann Games, which took place in the 2nd millennium BC. It had remerged as a competitive sport in Cumbria by the 1840s and was one of the most popular events at the inaugural modern Olympics in 1896.
At school, Dinny was often to be seen vaulting walls and hedges with a rough-cut pole.[viii] 'We were doing six foot and thought we were great', he laughs. At the age of 18, he became more serious about it, using a 10-foot bamboo pole to clear a timber lath, taking exact measurements every time he landed.[ix] 'Timing is everything' he counsels. 'And relaxation.' Sometimes he landed hard. 'I never jumped on a mattress in my life', he says. And yet he never gave himself an injury.
In 1948, the 19-year-old competed for the first time at the All Ireland Youth Championships, and won Bronze with a jump of 9 foot 5. In 1950, he won the contest and broke the Irish record for the first time with a vault of 11-5 in Enniscorthy. Just minutes later his friend and rival Val McGann of Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, cleared 11-7 in the same contest.[x] But in July 1951, Dinny set a new record at the annual Guinness Sports at Iveagh Grounds, Crumlin, with 11-8 ¾ and this time it held. [xi]
Throughout the 1950s, Dinny dominated at the three main annual contests – the Ireland Championship, the Leinster Championship and the Cork City Sports Championships.[xii] Every year the good-looking 5' 9" vaulter from Carlow vaulted a little higher - and the crowds who came to watch got a little bigger.[xiii] The Irish Times declared that he had 'stolen the limelight' at the 1955 NACA (National Athletic Cycling Association) All-Ireland Championships when he soared over the lath to become the first Irishman to vault 12 foot, reaching 12-2.[xiv] He ultimately jumped 12-5, which was over a foot higher than the record when he started.[xv]
'The Sunday Press were always publishing his picture', recalls Delma proudly. Delma Fenelon was a fun-loving bootmaker's daughter who lived around the corner from Dinny on Barrack Street.[xvi] ''We were neighbours and he was friends of my brother', she says. 'He used to go with other girls in between. A lot of girls. But as someone says to me, "you got him in the end, Delma!"' And did she have any vaulting ambitions herself? 'I did not!'
They were married on St. Valentine's weekend of February 1960; five children followed. Their son Michael, trained by Dinny, later won the Irish championships with a jump of 14-6. Sport remains in the blood, with a granddaughter who hurdles and a grandson who is a promising tennis player.[xvii]
Denis (Dinny) Hyland of Quinnagh, Carlow, passed away on May 1, 2015, at St. Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny. He was survived by his beloved wife Delma and their children Mike, Liza, Jim, Sinead and Donncha.
[i] By his wife Mary, Michael Hyland Snr fathered seven sons and daughter. By 1911, Michael, the eldest born 1886 and father of Denny, was a fitter, Martin was a labouer, John was a fitters apprentice, William was a clerk at the coach factory and the younger sons – Joseph, Patrick and Denis – were at school.
[ii] Peter Thomas (grandfather of Kathryn Thomas) owned Thompsons and died in January 2010. During the 1950s, Thompson's specialized in aluminium tipping trucks.
[iii] 'All those houses have gone from Tullow Street now', says Delma. 'You'd get lost even if you were born and reared there'. The Christian Brothers were based near the railway station.
[iv] Michael joined the Irish aircorps at the age of 17 and, in 1948, went to work as a mechanic with the Israelites in Tel Aviv for four years. He had a month's holiday every year. 'He had a great time', says Denny. He came back and worked for an American firm in Shannon but was then transferred to London where he is now. As of April 2010, he is 85 years old, living in Slough, London and as fit as ever.
[v] This was in the 'old Barrack Field behind the Union.'
[vi] The Shamrocks smashed St Andrew's 0-16 to 1-6 victory; the game was played in Dr. Cullen Park in the Spring of 1950. Denny also played variously at played half-back with O'Hanrahans and Eire Og. He has a Carlow MSC medal with O'Hanrahans in 1945, and two county medals playing for Carlow in the 1951 National Football League campaign. He played with Carlow again in 1952 Leinster Champs and was on and off the team t/o 1950s. But he returned to pole vaulting when Carlow got beaten.
[vii] In 1955, he won the pole vault and was second in 100 yards, long jump and high jump. ('I wasn't that good at the high jump', he says. 'I could do maybe five foot seven').
[viii] 'Years went by and I got away from that. But then I was 18 years of age and I took it up again. We'd pole-vault over a timber lath. He was using a 10 foot bamboo pole by the which was a little more flexible than the curtain pole. They'd land directly into a hole in the ground full of sand. 'There was no mattresses then'.
[ix] He used to practice on Stanley's land outside Carlow, with a makeshift pair of posts and an old lath. He always jumped with bamboo and resisted the springier thrust of the steel poles favoured by his rivals. Nor did he try the fibre glass poles which arrived in the 1950s.
[x] Denny has also competed against Dr. Pat O'Callaghan's sons. Ulick O'Connor was also a pole vaulter. Val McGann is now a successful artist in Maine. http://www.valmcganngallery.com/
[xi] 'I was beaten in 1951. It was a tie but I lost on faults. You got three goes and if you miss, you get a fault and if you miss three times, you were out'.
[xii] His Olympic aspirations were kyboshed by a complicated division between the two main Irish athletics bodies in Ireland which meant he was not allowed participate. 'Ireland couldn't use anyone from the north in athletics. It was fine if you were a boxer or a swimmer. You could have two brothers from Fermanagh. One could box for Ireland but if his brother ran, he'd be representing England. It didn't make sense'.
[xiii] At the time of his pole-vaulting successes, the 10-time national champion was also a Private in An Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil (the reserve force of the Irish Army).
[xiv] 1955 was County Carlow's Year of Champions 1955 – Denny Hyland set new Irish pole vault record, Ernie Jones won the Irish PGA Championship and Tess Delaney captured the Leinster Senior Girls Singles.
[xv] Denny repeatedly broke his own record, peaking with a 12 foot 5 vault at the Cork City Sports in 1957.
[xvi] Delma was the elder daughter of Jimmy Fenelon of 12 Barrack St (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlcar2/Little_Barrack_st.htm) who worked in the Boot Factory, married to Lil Walsh and had two daughters, Delma and Margaret. Delma's Fenelon grandfather hailed from Myshall. Delma married Denny Hyland, and her sister Margaret married Joe Nolan (Tullow) of Mix 'n' Match.
[xvii] In the mid-1970s, the family relocated to Quinnagh, just outside Carlow town.
