Review: Circle of Iron aka The Silent Flute (1978)
Circle of Iron is based on a story created by Bruce Lee and James Coburn that gives a physical manifestation of Bruce's Zen philosophy. Unfortunately Bruce died before it could be made, and David Carradine, and I still don't know who the hell named him the keeper of All Things Bruce, acquired the rights to the story and made it into this film. Did he do Bruce proud?
Not exactly, but it is a train wreck with immense potential given the right creative forces (i.e. not Carradine). The story takes place in a fantasy world where everyone practices martial arts wearing the crappiest clothing ever, and our hero inexplicably wears a loincloth the entire film. I hate to say it, but only Tarzan could rock the loincloth. Of course women out there may think differently. I'll leave that to you. Now I say inexplicably because at least one character actually questions this, when he could wear a perfectly good pair of pants. He doesn't really answer, which is kind of his attempt to be badass, but his White Snake hairdo proves to cancel out any badassness he may have.
I refer to our hero Cord (Cooper), who enters a martial arts tournament in an attempt to win the right to find the warrior Zetan, and to defeat him in battle and take his Book of All Knowledge, which may show Cord how to sew his own f*ing pants. The first fight here is straight out of the David Carradine Can't Fight For Shit book, which would permeate through the entire film. The fighting is slow and the shoddy camera work doesn't do anyone any favors.
Cord loses the fight because he got a little overzealous and kicked his opponent when he was down, but he says screw you guys, I'll go anyway, which begs the question why the hell a tournament was needed at all. Cord follows the winner of the tournament, and the soon finds himself alone after the Monkey Tribe tears the winner up, and all Cord can do is to assist the poor guy into committing seppuku. Cord then takes it upon himself to meet the challenges necessary to get to Zetan, and along with way meets a Blind Flute player (Carradine) who may have the keys to getting past he challenges if only Cord would stop long enough to listen, the Monkey King (Carradine again) who shows Cord a different style of fighting (don't worry, it's still the same old patented Carradine inside crescent kick), Death itself (Carradine yet again) and Chang-Sha, a travelling warlord (Yes, Carradine again)
Can Cord learn the various lessons they have to teach in time to face Zetan? What will he do with the book if he should win it?
This movie really isn't good because it has an uphill fight with the shitty production values and lack of a real martial artist playing the main part, which is yet another infuriating practice that Hollywood hasn't yet put to rest, though Jeff Cooper gives a good effort. He plays Cord with the right amount of arrogance, and he does a good job, loincloth and all, of bringing Cord down when he finds that he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does. The film really follows the Zen/Buddhist philosophy the whole way, but the bad fight choreography and bad camera work really undermines this effort. Carradine is a pretty good actor, and plays all of the parts very well, but his fighting is lacking, as always. Once again he still makes his living off of Bruce Lee's ideas, which really sticks in my craw, and always will. The story is a bit slow in places, but picks up when it needs to. This could have been something special if there was better production values and fight choreography.
As it stands, it's a cheesy look into the philosophy that Bruce practiced in his everyday life, and the journey to try to maintain it…
(On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best)
CHOREOGRAPHY: (2) The main character, a martial arts fighter, is played by someone who doesn't know any. The fights are all badly shot and the choreography is, well, shit.
STUNTS: (3) The stuntmen never really had much to do, since the film concentrates so much on Cooper and Carradine.
STAR POWER: (8) Eli Wallach? Christopher Lee? Roddy McDowell? What magic mojo did Carradine cast to to get this kind of talent to be in this? Impressive, nonetheless.
FINAL GRADE: (4) I am a bit torn here. On one hand, it is crappy, with poor martial arts and productions values so shitty I could have made this film, but the ideas and story beats are really good. Despite the low grade, I actually do recommend this to martial arts film fans as it is an interesting look into Bruce's life philosophy and ideas, and if any film deserves to be remade, it's this one, but let's leave the loincloths at home…
10 Responses to "Review: Circle of Iron aka The Silent Flute (1978)"
ive heard about this film and always wanted to check it out purely for its camp value. Best fight for David Carradines carrer was deleted scene in Kill Bill 2 and also his work in 'Lone Wolf McQuade'
Jet Li would be well suited (if he doesnt speak English in the part as i feel when he speaks his native tongue he is better at portraying emotions and tone) How do you think Steven Seagal would do lol 😉
[…] NEXT: David Carradine may ask you not to question him on the way to the Circle of Iron! […]
Sorry for the late reply, but I was curious about that one comment "Once again he still makes his living off of Bruce Lee's ideas, which really sticks in my craw, and always will." Are you referring to the Kung Fu series, because from what I understand Carradine had nothing to do with the creation of the show and according Herbie J Pilato, show developer Ed Spielman was trying to get the concept off the ground since the mid 60's and that he was planning to sue Universal for the allegations in 'The Bruce Lee Story' but decided not to because Brandon Lee died that same year.
While the Bruce Lee/ David Carradine casting issue did happen, it may be a coincidence that Lee had a concept similar to that and that kind of coincidence has happened in the past with other creators so while I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, like the Father of MMA issue, I take the whole Kung Fu issue with a grain of salt.
Great site by the way, I really enjoy your reviews.

Kearney, Neb. – Former Tri-City Storm forward Nick Lappin became the 12th former Storm talent to play in an NHL game Friday for the New Jersey Devils. In his second game Saturday, Lappin recorded his first point, making a beautiful backhanded pass through traffic to Devante Smith-Pelly in a Devils' win against Tampa Bay.
Lappin and St. Louis Blues forward Jaden Schwartz are the Storm's two active NHL players. Schwartz scored his first goal of the season, a game-winner, Friday for the Blues against the Los Angeles Kings.
At the college level, Storm alum and Union Captain Michael Vecchione followed up a six-goal, eight point week with two goals and three points in weekend victories against Rensselaer. Vecchione leads the NCAA with ten goals and is tied for the Division I lead with 16 points.
Here's a look at some other top performances by Storm alumni over the past week.
Professional Hockey
Goaltender Power: Wilcox and Copley win at AHL level
Adam Wilcox and Pheonix Copley split goaltending duties in 2011-12 before Copley was traded to Des Moines in February 2012. Each have made it to the AHL, the level below the NHL, and earned weekend wins for their respective clubs.
Wilcox, a goaltender for the Syracuse Crunch, won back-to-back appearances on Friday and Saturday. The 23-year-old has a 3-2-0-0 record, 2.60 goals against average and .897 save percentage.
Copley, who made his NHL debut with St. Louis in 2016, won his first game of 2016-17 for the Chicago Wolves, denying 26 shots in a 7-3 win Saturday against in-state rival Rockford.
Mingoia leads ECHL Atlanta
The Atlanta Gladiators, ECHL affiliate of the Boston Bruins, cruised to a pair of wins this weekend and forward Trevor Mingoia (TC: 2012-13) factored in with two goals and three points in three games.
Saturday in an 8-2 rout against Orlando, the former Providence National Champion scored a career-high two goals. Mingoia leads Gladiators rookies in goals and is tied for first among ECHL rookies with two power-play goals.
The Gladiators boast two former Storm players, Trevor Mingoia and former Storm Captain Kenny Brooks.
College Hockey
John Marino on the board for Harvard
Harvard swept its first two games of the season at Arizona State and defenseman John Marino (TC 2015-16) scored a goal in his first NCAA game for the Crimson. A 2015 sixth-round pick of the Edmonton Oilers, Marino had five goals and 30 points for the Storm in 56 regular season games. He skated in all 11 Clark Cup Playoff games, collecting two assists.
Marino paired on the blue line with current UMass-Lowell freshman Mattias Goransson for most of last season. Goransson had an assist for UMass-Lowell Saturday in a victory against Nebraska-Omaha.
Gamez brings helping hand
Former Storm Captain Garrett Gamez (TC: 2012-15) led Providence with a career-high three assists in a 6-0 win against cross-city rival Brown Sunday. He has one goal and four points in seven games for the 15th-ranked Friars.

Notes on H.P. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine
Volume 1 (page 2 of notes)
Notes on "The One Life, Active and Passive":
As I continue this section it becomes obvious where the names of the two pages before these notes begin came from, Tzim.htm and Tzum.htm. The familiar metaphor of breath: out - exhale - Tzim; in - inhale - Tzum. One cannot clearly demonstrate where this process begins, one must merely pick a state and call it "first", it is totally arbitrary. Speaking of Tzim-Tzum it becomes obvious that the two states can only be arbitrarily demarked as Tzim or Tzum. The quote from Isis Unveiled now is crystal clear, there is no contradiction in terms.
In this section is also introduced the word sacr, or zakhar. This word is the root which sacred, sacrifice and sacrament derive. This is analogous to the Indian Lingam. Ref: The Source of Measures. The symbol for the Kali Yuga is given as the inverted five pointed star, possibly another allusion to the phallus, or sexual organs somehow ?
Notes on "The Secret Doctrine - Pantheism - Atheism"
This and That. That cannot create, or have distinct qualities, for then it would not be That but This. This can create, but because it can create it must be finite, it must have specific qualities. That is like infinite space, like Nuit in Thelemic cosmology, This is like Hadit.
Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing
her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a
sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be
ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not
of thee at all, since thou art continuous!
Liber Al vel Legis
Section I verse 27
That rather contains within itself the potential to become anything, in short all possibilities. The manifested universe that we perceive is in "reality" all That. This is in That, not That in This.
The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs.
Liber Al vel Legis
Section 1 verse 8
The above statements make it obvious, to me anyway, how well "Thelemic theory" fits with "Theosophical theory". I know why the Blue Equinox contains the Voice of the Silence, I always loved this work, long live Lanoo ! I have missed the true significance of this inclusion until now. By the above I don't mean proof by reduction to absurdity, but the removal of extraneous elements such that the theories are stripped down to their essence. Thus stripped the theories complement one another, as opposed to opposing one another.
For another explanation of the above and what is to follow see

Every Friday night on Dixon Street, you can barely manoeuvre your way through Chinatown from the bustle of the weekly markets. But now you can experience the vibe without actually being in the fray – by sitting above it all at Yebisu's new restaurant, with a Japanese lager and few charcoal-grilled skewers.
In many ways Yebisu Bar and Grill is like the original Yebisu Izakaya on George Street, which is popular for being similar to what you'd find in Japan. But the new restaurant has a bigger menu, more space and a better view. "Like Yebisu Izakaya but extra," says Yebisu's owner Arioki Kondo.
One side of the restaurant has the expansive view – instead of concrete, the second storey has a series of large plastic flaps which can be peeled back completely so almost half the restaurant is open-air. "On a sunny day it looks like a balcony; very beautiful," Kondo says.
Kondo has designed the space himself. He commissioned the murals on the wall of Gundam anime characters and Japanese landmarks, the odd, painted bricks and the bar that looks over the kitchen. "The restaurant on George Street is very popular but if this was exactly the same as the first shop it'd be very boring," he says. "I wanted to make it funky."
The kitchen is the domain of Eita Kimura, the head chef. He overseas two charcoal grills, a sashimi station and a menu with around 200 dishes. It's all typical izakaya fare – glazed, chargrilled skewers of everything from crumbed pork and chicken thighs to hearts, skins and frankfurters. There are raw dishes of both sashimi and marinated sides like wasabi octopus. The bigger dishes include fried noodles, steak and curry-salt fried chicken. Specials are cutely presented on a paper sign made by one of the staff.
The drinks are typical of an izakaya too – bottles of the Japanese lager the restaurant is named after, other Japanese brews on tap, a range of Japanese whiskies and, of course, sake. The latter is served from a roving cart. "We show each person the sakes: this one is sweet; this one is dry. We do a free tasting and if you like it and buy it we ring the bell and yell 'sake!'" Kondo says.
Yebisu Bar and Grill 55 Dixon St, Haymarket (02) 9211 3038<
Hours Sun to Wed 12pm–11pm Thu to Sat 12pm–12am

Most development actors agree that the current model for development assistance, which produces so few positive results, cannot be sustained much longer. While many alternatives have been proposed, few have received widespread acceptance. A number of studies and official statements have been published recently that reject development aid in its current form. One of the most remarkable positions was that of Jean-Michel Severino, Director of the French development agency, in an interview with La Tribune. It is increasingly difficult for even the staunchest defenders of the current system to explain the need to preserve a model that demands so much effort for so few, if any, results. Taxpayers in developed countries are fed up with the idea that their money is being thrown away on corrupt tropical dictators. Similarly, citizens from developing countries do not appreciate how their impoverished conditions are used to attract funds that, at the end of the day, return to the donor country, after having worsened the conditions of poverty. It is therefore time for a revolution.

He's such a warmongering racist, he even made Muslims hate Obama.
thanks to Gateway Pundit and duh…Atlas!
Reuters reported::
The demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags, some chanting "Death to Obama," had gathered outside the Swiss embassy which handles U.S. interests because Tehran and Washington have not had diplomatic ties for nearly three decades.
Pictures obtained by Reuters showed the president-elect's image laid on the road for cars to drive over it, and other images showed demonstrators burning the Obama poster.

Editor-in-Chief: Kenneth D. Candido, MD
The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate (BMC) injections in the lumbar intervertebral disc. The secondary objective is to evaluate utilization of health care services, hospitalization and spine surgery. A total of 20 patients with chronic (> 6 months) discogenic low back pain who received intradiscal injection of either PRP or BMC were followed in this study with data on pain (Verbal Pain Scale, VPS) and function (SF-36) collected at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months post-injection. Additional assessments included utilization of medications, health care services, hospitalization, and spine surgery. Of the 20 patients, 18 remained at 6 months and 15 remained at 18 months. Of those who remained, more than 50% relief in VPS was noted in 94% of patients at 6 months, and in 93% of patients at 18 months. An improvement in SF-36s physical component summary (PCS) was noted in 100% of patients at 6 months, and in 93% of patients at 18 months. There were no reported side effects or adverse reactions noted from the injections. Medication use decreased in 89% of patients at 6 months and in 80% of patients at 18 months. None of the patients presented to the emergency room, were hospitalized, or underwent surgery for the spinal area treated with the injection. This study supports the safety of a single intradiscal biologic injection and provides additional evidence for its efficacy in management of lumbar discogenic pain, with improvements in both pain and function, and decreased utilization of medications and medical services thereby decreasing health care costs.
Key words: Autologous, biologics, platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, injections, lumbar, disc, discogenic pain, regenerative medicine

Cycling towards Positive Change. 20 bikes for 20 change makersTue Sept. 30th 2014
The Downer Company has been a big sponsor for our Trust and continues to be a key business contributing to the development of our young people and their families.
Downer asked Genesis to select 20 young people from our organization who were deserving of receiving a brand new mountain bike. Although there were many deserving young people, priority was given to those aged between 12-14 years old due to the size requirements of the bikes.
The event was held at Kings College in Otahuhu and was part of the Annual Downer Conference. The Downer staff teams had to assemble the mountain bike to be gifted to the young person as part of a team building exercise.
On the day, our youth arrived at Kings College excited to take part. Each youth participated and attended a cycling safety workshop, where they learnt about the basic ABC's (Air, Brakes, Chain) of cycling safety and the importance of being safe on the road while on a bike.
Following training the youth were asked to go outside only to be greeted by a crowd of Downer staff clapping and cheering for them. The master of ceremonies explained to the Downer staff that each of the young people were there because they had made changes and were on the road to making more positive life choices. One of the recipients excitedly explained "all those people clapped for us and gave us a bike".
Rob Woodley (Genesis General Manager) was given a chance to explain what Genesis does and thanked the Downer team for their support before congratulating the youth.
Finally, our 20 excited youth were given their bikes, helmets and cycling safety gear. They then participated in a cycling exercise where they got to practice braking and signaling from their bikes. "We learned about how to ride our bikes safely," explained on youngster.
We are grateful to Downer for this opportunity to gift these bikes to our deserving young people. For many of them, this is their first bike and something that is theirs to keep. "This is my first bike, that is actually mine, and its brand new too" explained a grateful young man. Again, thank you Downer for thinking of Genesis, we hope to continue our partnership in the future!

Somali Elder warns Turkish and UAE interest in Somalia
Abdi Ahmed Ali, an elder has warned the hidden agenda of Turkish and United Arab Emirates (UAE) interests in Somalia, as both countries are on the ground for investments.
The rivalry between Turkey and the UAE is seemingly spilling into Somalia, as the country is prepares for a presidential election scheduled in January, 2017.
The Elder said the two governments are positioning themselves to ensure the election of allied Somali politician as the country's next president.
Turkey has been the greatest ally for Somalia since it sent massive aid to Somalia during the 2011 famine that killed hundreds of thousands of Somalis.
Subsequently, the UAE, a long time strategic rival of Turkey had started copy-cat major developments in Somalia in a bid to outshine Turkey.

Email marketing is the perfect way of keeping in contact with your customers on a regular basis, and also increasing your customer base. The number of options available to you with marketing with email can be surprising. The advice in this article will help you to navigate your way through email marketing, allowing you to understand the advantages for both you and the business you run.
The first commandment of e-mail marketing is to never send unsolicited messages. Your emails may be marked as spam by people who are not interested in receiving them. This is very bad for business and you may be blocked by certain Internet providers.
Each email should only contain a single topic. Customers will be quickly overwhelmed if you are trying to cover too much material in one email. Determine the one message that you need to get across in the email and focus on that idea. Your readers will like your brief and to the point newsletter, which isn't burdened by tons of unwanted information.
In order to promote excitement in your customers regarding receiving emails, offer them special discounts or limited promotions in your newsletters. When you send these kinds of newsletters, not only will your readers enjoy participating, they might refer their friends. You should consider creating a referral program for your customers so that they can get an added benefit for forwarding their emails to friends.
Use as many sources as possible to help you find out as much as possible about email promoting. You will find a lot of helpful books or websites. You should also look into joining a class or a workshop about internet marketing in your area.
Keep in mind that the sole purpose of building an email list is to sell your wares. That means that every single email should bring readers closer to buying. This can be done by writing emails that give information on new products or promotions on old ones.
As mentioned above, email marketing campaigns are a great way to reach out to your customers and expand your customer base. The things you learned in this article can open up new channels for you to master using emails and the Internet to grow your business.

General Purpose of Event:
To promote bilingualism in the community and educate parents as to its benefits for the academic success of students Rationale: The components of this event are designed to raise awareness on the benefits of speaking more than one language, to celebrate being bilingual, and to address NEW Academy's commitment to prepare students with the global skills they need for success in the 21st century global economy. Research shows that students who participate in multilingual programs attain high levels of academic achievement. Additionally, according to a recent UCLA study, two-thirds of employers prefer to hire a bilingual employee over a similarly skilled non-bilingual employee. Therefore, we consider that it is necessary to educate our community on the value of solidifying our students' first language as they acquire English proficiency, and become fully bilingual and biliterate citizens of this new economy.

Timber – An undervalued playground material
Timber is a fantastic medium for playground equipment. Aside from the aesthetic and tactile advantages (see below), the timbers used by Andrew Smith Timber Creations are hardwearing, long-lasting and resistant to fire and pests.
A common misconception is that timbers do not last as long as plastic and metal play equipment. All playground materials do eventually break down, and while plastic will split and metal will rust, creating laceration risks, timber will deteriorate softly and gradually, meaning the equipment is still safe to use while repairs are organised. With an annual check-up, timber play equipment is extremely long lasting.
Andrew Smith Timber Creations Pty Ltd use sustainably sourced and recycled Australian timbers.
Over time, we have been able to source more Red Ironbark and White Cypress to improve the quality and the longevity of our elements.
White Cypress
Timber Creations have a sustainable source of white cypress that is regularly available for use. White Cypress is a great softwood timber for playgrounds as it is highly durable, not susceptible to Lyctid Borer, resistant to termites, and has an extremely low shrinkage rating. It also has a wonderful scent!
White Cypress has many interesting features like dark brown knots, but a great, very fine texture and beautiful grain that children love to explore, making it perfect for play sculptures.
For more information, download our factsheet, with information sourced from the Australian Standards for Timber – AS1720
Red Ironbark
We currently have Red Ironbark available, sourced from discarded, recycled trees. Red ironbark is an Australian Hardwood which is highly durable and hardwearing. It is fantastic for outdoor structures, as it is sturdy, reliable, durable and long-lasting in weather-exposed structural applications.
Red Ironbark is also a very beautiful timber, with heartwood colours ranging from a deep red to red-brown, and a distinctive yellow sapwood. It blends seamlessly in outdoor environments.
For more information, download our factsheet, with information sourced from the Australian Standards for Timber – AS1720
Benefits of Timber Elements
Environmental effects
Timber Creations uses recycled timber for all our products, which has a very positive environmental effect. Recycling wood saves massive amounts of heat energy as well as reducing deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions.
Apart from the fantastic environmental advantages of recycling discarded timber (of which there are many), timber products contribute to a wonderful sense of place and beautiful environmental surroundings. Timber elements provide visual continuity with the landscape gives a feeling of spaciousness and tranquillity. Natural materials result in no jarring of colour which creates feeling of peace.
Child Development
Connection to Nature
Children have an inborn inclination and interest in the natural environment and its elements. It makes them feel comfortable and appeals to the senses as it is our biological home; we have an organic connection to nature that we often underestimate (Pelo, 2008).
It has been shown in multiple studies over the last decade that natural settings enhance cognitive abilities, in particular executive functioning. For children and young people it has been shown that exposure to natural elements leads to an increase in attention span and focus, creative thought processes, problem solving abilities, self-discipline and self-regulation as well as reduced stress levels and increased physical and emotional health (Driessnack, 2009).
Developing Naturalistic intelligence
One of the biggest problems of today is concerned with children perceiving themselves as separate from nature. Nature is the dirty, scary thing somewhere out there – no relation at all to their own lives of school, homework and TV. Children need to be able to connect more with nature; studies say it is a necessity for general well-being. The first step towards this is the incorporation of natural elements into their everyday lives; a connection between the scary nature out there and the structural safety of the school playgrounds and parks that they are used to (Dore, 2010).

Teach students a valuable lesson about reusing and recycling.
All NSW public schools have been directed by the DEC to perform more rigourous checks on the safety conditions of trees on school grounds.
This is important for safety reasons, but may result in taking away the only small connection students have to nature and natural materials!
Trees are also decorative play elements within the school, and students develop attachments to particular trees that they would be sad to see take away with no replacement.Many schools are now in a situation in which they have to remove multiple trees from their grounds.
So keep the trees, but make them safe!
Timber Creations can take potentially dangerous trees and transform them into beautiful, functional, natural seating and play pieces that conform to the rigourous KidSafe safety standards.
Often, the work can be completed on-site, and the trees never has to leave the grounds. If this is not practical (such as during school terms when students need to use the area or when specialised workshop equipment must be used), the trees can be delivered to the Timber Creations workshop and are returned as fun, safe play equipment that retains the natural shape and beauty of the tree the students and staff loved.
Turn the departmental directive for the removal of trees into a positive and creative venture by:
- Keeping durable, quality timber on the site of growth
- Using the cutting down of trees as an educational programme on-site
- Creating the "cradle to grave" story of sustainability with trees
- Less cost than removal from site
- Having a positive and creative message for parents
- Community acceptance in lieu of criticism
- Less use of fuel and transport in removal
- On-site storage of carbon in lieu of landfill or smoke emissions, less greenhouse gasses
- But, best of all, the opportunity of your school achieving beautiful assets in your school grounds

IUI number 2 didn't work. I actually handled that a lot better than I handled the first one. So we are moving on to IUI number 3 and we decided this will be the one that will work. The number 3 is our lucky number (yeah, that's a long, lame story) so this just has to be the one!
I went to my baseline appointment at the fertility clinic yesterday. The appointment went as usual except for when I was walking out. I walked past a girl that was getting her blood drawn. This isn't anything new because let's face it, when you are dealing with infertility, you should expect to constantly be poked and prodded. I used to get so scared to have my blood drawn and now I don't give it a second thought.
So anyway, as I walked past the girl, I overheard her conversation with my nurse. (Yes, she's MY nurse.) My nurse said "This is a GOOD thing!" and the girl responded with tears in her eyes, "But I'm so scared."
I can only assume that she was pregnant and getting her blood drawn to test her hormone levels. I walked out to my car and the moment I got in, I burst into tears. It just felt so unfair. That poor girl should get to be excited about being pregnant but she doesn't get to do that. After dealing with infertility, you feel so broken. Nothing goes your way and your body constantly lets you down, so why would pregnancy be any different?
I hope that her pregnancy is uneventful and that she finally gets the baby she has been working so hard for. I hope that her infertility wounds heal even though the scars will always be there. And I hope I get to that point someday soon. Here's to IUI number 3!

~Wisdom Wednesday...Don't Judge Someone for Their Choices/
I'm a huge fan of Germany Kent's quotes. They are filled with wisdom and insight. Her quotes subtly encourages you take a moment to self reflect. Sometimes, if you are guilty of the message it brings about conviction. Conviction then usually brings about change. One of my favorite quotes by her is
"Don't judge someone for their choices when you don't understand their reasons" - Germany Kent
Often times we have an innate ability to judge others by the things they do, say, or even wear. I like to call it human. I think everyone judges at some point in time or another but it's what we do with those thoughts that matter.
It's easy to judge when you don't know a person's story. Even when you don't know the story, giving thought to why they've made the choices they did shows maturity and empathy. Take a few moments to understand why those choices were made. Reflect on personal choices you've made. Do you remember the time when someone made their own conclusion about your life but had never met you? We've all had that moment. I'm often judge by my natural state to observe when in new surroundings or unfamiliar people. In the beginning of all new relationships I'm social, but reserved. Some have thought I was too serious or not fun. They've later learned I'm very lighthearted and lovable. It's not until after I know the spirit of the people I meet I began to indulge, or not.
The next time you find yourself in a mental space that's filled with thoughts or critiques about someone whom you don't know, pause, then ask yourself "If I'm willing to give time to judge this person, am I willing to give time to understand this person? If your answer is yes, then do it. If your answer is no, then I think it's safe to say you should think twice about who is it that should be judged.
Shared over a cup of tea,
...From My Thoughts to Yours, Jamara
