we'll walk together
Friday, March 20, 2020
Good morning Friends and fellow Hydro Warriors,
In light of the recent pandemic developments and global health crisis, I wanted to make time to sit down and write a message to all my friends in the hydrocephalus community and beyond. There is a new and increased need for information, support, and comfort as people all around the world are isolated and so many things are in a state of unprecedented uncertainty.
If you have followed my story or have read my blogs in the past, you know that I write and share because I believe that it's is one way to give purpose to the pain and difficulties I've experienced in my own journey. I know there are so many patients and families around the world who are dealing with hydrocephalus without the support that I've been blessed with. So, I want to start by saying this… I'm here. I might be on the other side of the country, or the other side of the planet from you – but I am standing in this darkness with you as we all navigate the new normal with regards to everyday life and our healthcare systems. Even though I can't offer medical guidance, I can offer friendship.
I can offer my own story.
And I can listen to yours.
This morning I wanted to share a couple of random thoughts.
First, I want to take time to acknowledge that this whole thing is really scary and unsettling for a lot of people. For those of us who have a condition like hydrocephalus, it's terrifying to constantly be told that the hospital system is overwhelmed and running low on supplies, etc. The simple truth is that none of us know when we will need to have immediate care for complications with hydrocephalus – let alone the risks of coronavirus. I've learned over the past few years to allow myself to identify and honor these real fears for a moment, then say a prayer or do a meditation that encourages my mind to release those thoughts. Some days, this is just a one-time occurrence, and I move forward with my day. But other times, this process is a continual loop for an hour or two… or the whole day. And that's ok. Anxiety and fear are both paralyzing emotions, but they can often be controlled by response. You can choose to address them, then actively let them go. One minute at a time.
The other thing I want to talk about is the importance of maintaining emotional control in our communication. In uncertain times, the words you use and the things you say (both verbally and internally) go a long way in shaping our experience. Science has proven that the power of spoken word has unprecedented effect on our physical and emotional health. And the crazy thing is that you don't even have to believe the words you say… if you just keep saying them, you will eventually change your perception to match the expression. Words have a unique power to change your life and the world around you.
If you choose to say things that are hopeful, you will be more hopeful.
If you decide to make statements that are filled with love and compassion, you will feel more love and compassion.
If you express peace, you will be more at peace.
These choices will carry over to the people you interact with. The more hopeful, loving, and peaceful your words are, the more others will feel comforted.
In his best-selling book The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz identifies the first principle to live successfully as this: Be impeccable with your word. Because I feel so strongly about this first agreement, I surround myself with positive and uplifting words. The walls of my bedroom are filled with intentional word-based artwork. I regularly write encouraging statements on post-it notes and stick them to my mirror where I will see them and subconsciously internalize them. These notes include bible verses, song lyrics, and statements I want to incorporate into my daily affirmations. I read them silently, and I say them out loud. This has been a great way for me to actively influence the narrative in my mind. It might work for you, or you might find another technique that fits you better. Be creative! Find and use words that give life.
I am committed to finding the beauty in broken moments in life, and often that beauty comes in the form of human connection. Some of the most amazing friendships and relationships in my life were planted and cultivated in the ruins of shared trauma. If you are lonely or isolated, I'm here. Send me a message or email via this site or engage on Instagram (@stayinthearena).
Keep on walking.
We'll walk together.
Love, Amy
bird's eye view
Last month I took a quick weekend trip to Boise to see one of my closest friends. I was excited to be able to finally take a mini vacation, after needing to cancel several scheduled trips in the past 12 months. Since it was my first time on a plane in almost a year, I was a little anxious to see how my brain would handle all the necessary evils of travel. But I made it through the airport without getting too overwhelmed, and I settled into my seat for the flight. As we taxied to the runway, I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer of gratitude. I opened my eyes and thought about the shunt infection and six surgeries this year, followed directly by losing a close friend in a tragic accident, and trying to pull things together at work. Even though it's been the most challenging year of my life, I was healthy enough to take this quick break and see Andrea. As the plane took off, I looked out the window.
It was a beautiful day in Portland, and although it's getting later in the fall, the trees are still flaming with brilliant colors. Maybe it was because I am feeling more reflective and raw right now, or maybe it's because I haven't seen that bird's eye view of Portland in a long time. But in that moment, I had a perspective of the landscape that I've never had before. I noticed how varied the terrain is in Oregon – with the trees, rivers, valleys and hills. Mount Hood was absolutely beautiful as we flew by the snow-capped peak. The roads in Portland are twisted and intertwined, as opposed to being laid out in a perfect grid like some flatter and newer communities. As the plane ascended higher and higher, the details turned into mere texture… the valleys appeared more like divots and the hills seemed more like little bumps. As I watched everything get smaller, I saw the incredible beauty of the whole picture. This is my Oregon – the place I get to live and love, and the battlefield on which I get to fight through all I've been through. It suddenly dawned on me that this is an interesting analogy of life's journey. In the day to day moments of challenge and pain, we can only see the stretch of road that is immediately in front of us. The valleys seem like deep ravines that take immense effort to crawl out of, and the hills seem like they take forever to climb. While there are pretty things around us when we look for them, we don't see the whole picture for what it is… a complex masterpiece of winding roads and beautiful landscape. If only we could rise above the hard stuff, we'd see it fade into mere texture as it gets further and further in the distance.
Changes in life are difficult to navigate sometimes. It feels confusing and often exhausting to process all the little ups and downs. If I've learned one thing this year, it's that God never leaves me in the dark crevices of trauma. Instead, I feel like He's been there when I've been most desperate – willing to sit with me quietly in the cool black sadness, until I'm ready to move towards the light again. And somehow, I've actually felt more spiritually grounded amidst all the chaos. My choice lies in whether I will respond to the love around me – the love that has lifted and held me through the stormiest days and the darkest nights.
As the airplane lifted through the cloud cover, I looked at the white, misty veil that covered the entire landscape with a layer of soft comfort. As soon as we were above those clouds, the bumps and divots of the terrain were concealed by a blanket of white. I remembered back to a morning this August, when I was battling through severe physical anxiety symptoms after my last surgery. As my heart was racing and I couldn't calm it down enough to drive to work, I texted my dear friend MacKenzie, and asked her to pray for me. I'll never forget her words.
"God, like a weighted blanket I just pray that you would put the weight
of your peace over Amy's whole body today."
And it struck me that the cloud cover is kind of like that weighted blanket, filling all the low points with grace and soothing. God's love covers the whole journey – the whole picture – including the mountains and valleys, rivers and roads. It's not that the challenges aren't still there – but I am covered. I can rest in that safety, and it keeps me moving through the hard things, even when all I can see is the next roadblock that I've got to get through.
Success in this life comes from truly loving the work it takes to build the road to where you're going. It comes from being thankful for the challenges, because of the relationships and lessons that the challenges bring.
It comes from finding satisfaction in the growing.
From finding rhythm in the doing.
Finding comfort in the loving.
And finding purpose in the giving.
These are the mountain peaks in life, and they are well worth trudging through the deserts and swamps to get there. This is how we find peace-- Traveling through the world, covered in a weighted blanket of grace.
Much Love,
It's no secret that I am so excited for the change in seasons. I love the fall in Oregon. I truly love everything about the fall – the cooler temperatures, the rain, sweaters, and football games. My favorite part about autumn where I live is the obvious shift in the position of the sun in the sky – which makes the light so filtered and beautiful, especially in the afternoon. But there's nothing like the glorious palate of colors as the leaves change to red, orange and bright yellow against a blue sky. It's so spectacular, and I can't wait for it every year. But this year I'm even more excited – as this spring and summer were rough for me physically and emotionally. I'm so ready for a change.
The beautiful thing about the changes that the trees go through in the fall is that the color and drama that manifests is actually a visual signal that the leaves are dying. As the trees are losing their current covering, the brilliant color and dramatic changes that occur are actually part of the process – a symbol of death and future renewal. And just like the leaves, so many things in life have a way of being breathtaking and theatrical as they change. Shunt surgery is one example. As the shunt begins to malfunction, life slowly starts to shift. That's like the first hint of fall color. Then there's a lot of appointments, decisions, and usually pain. Like the brilliant colors of the leaves, the situation is ever changing. Physically and mentally I battle, and I go through a roller coaster of medical attention and a firestorm of frustration that finally ends with brain surgery. As the actual act of having surgery has become more frequent for me in the past few years, it feels like letting go and accepting that we're to that point again. Mentally I fight so hard against it, right up until I hear the final decision from my neurosurgeon. Then I melt down and cry, accept where I'm at, and finally let go. I feel like the whole timeline of the shunt malfunction or failure is like the fall leaves in the sense that there is a process that has a lot of phases. The colors of my pain and emotion become more and more intense, until they finally let go and the surgery happens – like the leaves falling. This process is necessary in order to reset physically and mentally and start over again.
As much as the fiery colors of anger and frustration before shunt surgery are like the fall leaves, the depression and anxiety afterwards are like the grays of winter. When I get home from the hospital, there are quiet days where I'm alone in my healing. I'm sleeping a lot, and everyone has returned to their daily routines. It's not that I don't see or talk to anyone, but there is a lot less interaction for a certain period of time. This isolation is necessary, as the rest is crucial to healing body, nervous system, and mind. Accepting that there are seasons of emotion that accompany my physical challenges has been an area that I've had to actively work on in the past few years. Even though I am a positive and driven person, I have had learn to go through these seasons appreciating them for what they are – for what I am becoming in the changes. Knowing each period of difficulty doesn't last forever keeps me moving – and has allowed me to slow down and acknowledge where I'm at in the process.
My surgeries and shunt infection this summer felt like a multiple-round all-out prize fight. I got knocked down six times-- but got up seven. I was strong going into the arena and somehow, I was stronger when I left-- but my body and heart were beat to a pulp, literally and figuratively. Even though I was grateful for the journey and everyone who took incredible care of me during the process, I was affected in ways I couldn't see. Trauma and antibiotics changed my body on a molecular level, and about a week after my last surgery, I experienced my first panic attack. The anxiety symptoms in the weeks that followed were exhausting, frustrating and completely foreign to me. I spent hours walking and praying, begging God for understanding. When my chest would tighten and my heart would race out of control, movement was one of the only things that helped. I felt like I couldn't breathe, but I knew I could. I felt like I was dying, but I knew I wasn't. My mind was at peace, but my physical body was raging. I was experiencing the aftermath of everything that I had gone through – and I was very aware of it. I worked with my doctors to understand and treat what was going on, and eventually the season passed. But those few weeks felt like the ultimate end to fall, the time when after all the leaves have turned colors and held on through the rainstorms in autumn, they finally let go – and fall to the ground in a final show of surrender. My brain was done. And I acknowledged it, I appreciated the process, and I have allowed myself to move into a period of winter – of quiet and solitude. I'm processing through sadness and grief, sitting in the monochromatic feelings, knowing that the cold and lonely days will pass if I continue to move through them.
As time goes, I'm trying my best to be present in my healing. There is value in this time of quiet, because I need it to regenerate and reset. Everything in nature was designed to experience this cycle – it's natural, and it's absolutely crucial to forward progress. When the spring comes and the new growth pushes through, I will rejoice in that change as well. I'm always amazed when violet colored crocuses will poke their way through half frozen ground – the first sign that spring is coming. And before I know it, little pink and white blossoms will open on the fruit trees and parts of the Willamette Valley feel like a bed of cotton candy. The ultimate example of finding beauty in the broken moments is knowing that none of this is possible without those months where everything lies dormant. As I reflect on the fall, and move through the winter, I will remain grateful for the process, and continue to seek peace despite the hurt I've experienced.
We were made for seasons.
We'll be ok.

Composite Wizard
Original Publication Date: 2001-Feb-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2003-Jun-18
Publishing Venue
This disclosure discusses a technical high level programming design to create a new "composite" wizard from a group of completed smaller "sub" wizards. The disclosure deals with an implementation done in Java in a Windows environment and implemented within a wizard framework used by IBM developers of wizards for the AS/400 Operations Navigator. The wizard concepts discussed are fairly general however, and the design could be implemented in most any language or development platform. In our development environment, a wizard consists of two major components or classes, the wizard state machine and the wizard databean. In order to launch the wizard the developer constructs an object of a third class "WizardManager" passing in an instance of the wizard state machine and the databean that the developer coded the implement the wizard, as well as the list of pages or panels for the wizard (in the order they are to be displayed). The state machine class implements an interface called "WizardStateMachine". An interface in Java defines methods that all classes implementing the interface must implement. The WizardStateMachine interface defines two methods that must be implemented by any class that implements the interface: public int getNextPage(int pageIndex)

Zip Through the Waistband
This article by Martyn Smith from Threads #191 (June/July 2017) describes a technique for installing a zipper at the back of a skirt. Martyn writes:
I used to alter ladies' designer suits and, from examining some nice examples by Valentino and Dior, learned a great way to create a smooth zippered closure for the backs of skirts and trousers. Rather than zipping up to the waistband and closing the waist with a button or hook, this method continues the zipper through the waistband, stopping at the top. There's no need to find a flat button or to stitch a buttonhole through many fabric layers, or add a hook and bar. This streamlined closure is slightly different from typical zipper installation. It finishes the waistband ends at the same time that the lining is attached at the waistline, saving you a few steps. I encourage you to give this technique a try…

Product Description
The K&N AirCharger High Performance Intake are truly state-of-the-art. Starting with the largest conical shaped High-Flow air filter that can fit into the engine compartment while using factory holes and mounting points. This extra filter size provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures and holds more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). The filter is isolated from high engine temperature by a heat shield designed to lower the temperature of the air entering the engine, which increases horsepower. Next we attach the filter to a rotationally molded tube made from interlaced High Density Polyethylene. This process allows us to precisely shape the tube to reduce turbulence and accelerate airflow into the engine. This is why some of K&N's tubes have unique shapes or indentations that are specifically engineered for each application. Finally the tube is connected to the engine with adapters made from high strength materials such as silicon and reinforced nylon and ensures long life. Put all this together and you have the best high-flow intake system available today.
-Guaranteed to Provide more HP and Increased Acceleration
-Engineered to Specific Vehicle Design
-Easy to Install, Usually in 90 minutes or less!
-Lasts up to 100,000 Miles Before Service is Required (depending on driving conditions)

Sweet Potato Hummus
By á-49696
- 2 cups chickpeas
- zest of 1 organic lemon, juice of 1/2 lemon
- 3 small sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2-3 pinches sea salt
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
Adapted from mynewroots.org
Step 1
Note: Don't get too hung up on the quantities of ingredients with this recipe – it's hard to make a mistake! Use more or less sweet potato than called for, more or less chickpeas if that suits you (or even leave them out!), omit the cayenne or throw in more if you like it spicy. Just work with what you have and what tastes good to you.
1. Place sweet potatoes (with the skin on) in a baking dish in a 400 F oven and bake until very soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size. (You can also steam the sweet potatoes, but I find baking them is more flavourful.)
2. Let the sweet potatoes cool down so that you can easily remove their skins – they should just peel off. Place them in a food processor with the remaining ingredients and blend on high to mix.
3. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of cracked black pepper, and whatever herb you have on hand. This is wonderful with raw veggies, healthy crackers, or pita bread.
This dip doubles as an amazing sandwich spread, particularly on crusty sourdough with avocado, sprouts, and fresh herbs. I even eat this on the side of a rice bowl, or use it as a thickener for soups and stews, especially when I am cooking with lentils because they are a brilliant combo. Such an easy and yummy addition to just about anything! It will keep in the fridge for a week, but I highly doubt it will be around that long. Happy hummus-ing.

not a guy. I have friends who are girls, you know. — Hello? – Hey, it's me, Ruby.
– I know. – Did you see it?
– The trailer? Yeah, the trailer. I mean it was a-mazing. Un-believable. Isn't Tanner Von Quads
totally perfect? Oh, like unbelievably perfectly
perfect, perfect, perfect! Let's stalk him. I'm already on it. I'm in love. It appears you have an
expression of sadness on your face. How am I supposed to compete
with Tanner Von Quads? Oh, that? Tom, relax. He's not
even real. It's just a movie. Just a movie? Angel – I mean,
girls love him! No one calls their friends when I walk into a room. Why don't you try to be the
perfect guy, just like Tanner? Thanks, Ginger. I wish there was
a way to do that, but there isn't. Haven't you ever heard
of Ideal Guy Headquarters? Ideal Guy Headquarters? It's an exclusive website with
all the stuff you need to know to become a perfect guy. Uh. Did you hear that? Maybe
there's someone you want to impress. All the answers to your problems
are right here in my hand. This website could make
me the perfect guy? Tom, the only things that
are perfect are numbers, and you don't look like a 6,
a 28, a 496, or any other perfect number to me. Ben, I don't know what girls
are looking for but I'm pretty sure it's not whatever math
thing you just said. Oh. "The right sunglasses
for any time of day." There are different kinds of glasses
for different times of days? I didn't know this. "Ten new push-ups you've
never seen before." You know, sometimes I feel like
they don't want us to know about all the push-ups. "How to do everything
better and faster." Okay, this is awesome! Pretty soon Angela is gonna
love you even more than she loves that Tanner guy! What? Angela? That is not
why I'm going to read this! Tom, we know that's why you… Uh-uh, uh-uh, That's not why! Hey, Man! – Oh, that's me –
Welcome to Ideal Guy Headquarters. Click here to order your
Perfect Guy Starter Kit. Begin your new life
as an irresistible dude! Oh, you're gonna be way
cooler than that Tanner guy! I will be cooler than Tanner. And
my starter kit will be here tomorrow. Huh ! I mean, it's here! It's… beautiful.
I mean – whatever. A little spray. What do you think?
Is it working? Tom, you put on a scarf,
a bracelet and cologne. How could that possibly
change how people react to you? How about now? – huh? Wow ! What is that smell?
It's so handsome. Hey, cool glasses! I know. Well, Angela, you may be interested
to know that it just so happens that – No way! Ruby just got us
tickets to the premiere of "Get Down Two: The Uprising!" Oh-lala, premiere is French for
"you get to see the movie before anyone else" I know
because I used to live in French. You should sit in the front row
so the movie hits your eyes first! Yes! Tanner Von Quads will be
right in front of us on the big screen! Well right, yeah, but it's not like
he'll actually be there. Whereas right now, in front of you,
there is a guy who – What?! Tanner will be there?!
And he's signing autographs?! Oh come o… I mean
totally cool, totally cool. The starter kit was a good start
but it's not enough. I have to get another kit or do something. Or else you think you'll
lose Angela forever… No! That is not what I said!
This is not why I'm doing this! Hank, log on to Ideal
Guy Headquarters. It's time to get perfect-er. The perfect guy
works out every day. And drinks giant protein
shakes when he's done. He should never ever be
without his signature shades. A perfect guy is like a shape
shifter. When necessary, he can assume the perfect body. Totally. And of course, every
perfect guy has an arsenal of dance moves ready
for use at any moment. So hot. You guys want
anything else, or what? I mean, is there anything
else I can get you? I mean anything else at all? Everything's perfect… Rhonda. Gee, thanks… I mean, I don't
usually say things like this but – uhm – you smell real good… I smell… ideal. You know what?
Dessert's on me today. Did you see that? Free dessert!
I mean if this works on Rhonda, this will work on anyone. Definitely! I'll be at that premiere tomorrow
and I'll show Tanner Von Quads that he is no longer the most
perfect guy around! I am! I see him! Me too! Me too! He's glowing
with handsomeness! I think we just made eye contact! No way! Are you guys
like in love now? Yeah. I think so! Is that… Tom? Do you know that guy? TVQ. What's up man. You might
not know me, but I know you. Oh, hey man. Nice shades. TVQ. Stay beautiful. I'll do the same. Hey man. You've been the most
perfect guy around for a long time, but I have news for you. There's
a new lady's man in town. And you are looking at him.
Because he's talking to you. I'm talking to you. I'm talking
about me. But I'm talking to you. Listen, I'm just
doing my thing, man. Oh yeah? Well, now
I'm doing my thing. Hank, the music,
where's the music, Hank? Sorry, sorry, so sorry. Oh no. System failure. Handsomeness
fading. Shutting down. Trippple spinnn double bicep
fleeeexxxx… Boop! Nooooooo! TVQ 5000. Tanner Von
Quads was a… robot? Wow. Plot twist. I'm confused and heartbroken! I'm just confused. He's broken. Broken forever! Pff… Robos… Hey! That's the guy that broke
Tanner Von Quads! Get him! What? I didn't know. When being chased by an
angry mob the perfect guy always uses a helmet. Thanks! You sure were fast, but those
girls were faster. Then they caught you and started
punching you and kicking you. Anyway, you were there. Ha, sounds like you
were perfect out there. Oh, I'm sorry I ruined your
night and broke someone that you loved very much. Tom, I didn't really love Tanner
Von Quads. I loved the characters he played in his movies.
The handsome, chiseled, manly… Well, at least now we
know that no real person could actually be as
perfect as Tanner Von Quads. I wish I knew that before
I bought all these sunglasses. Why don't you donate
them to this charity for economically challenged cool guys? Charity is good. And Tom,
I do think you're perfect. The most perfect friend in the world! Side-hug? Come here, buddy.

ClickFunnels versus Every person Else.
Many people ask how ClickFunnels compares with various other touchdown page contractors such as Leadpages, Unbounce, as well as Infusionsoft.
For the most part it's not really a fair comparison because each of these tools succeeds is one location or the other.
The graph above gives a complete evaluation – however I'll highlight several of the major comparisons listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Prior to ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the big canine.
Leadpages is merely a lead capture software program – absolutely nothing more. You could produce touchdown pages, lead boxes, collect leads … that's basically it. In addition, the Leadpages templates are additionally restricted on customization.
ClickFunnels is far more flexible – it's much easier to use and does so far more than develop lead capture web pages.
Simply put, Leadpages is truly just a touchdown page builder, while ClickFunnels is focused around developing highly incorporated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a touchdown page or sales web page builder. It has some of that performance built it, yet that's not what it's understood for.
At it's core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that enables you to handle your entire client data source. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, yet it's not virtually as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is additionally exceptionally expensive and pressures every brand-new client to pay $2000 for a compulsory kickstart coaching package simply to find out how to make use of the complicated system (which is infamously tough to utilize).
ClickFunnels Associate Program
There are two main courses people decrease as ClickFunnels users.
Those that opt to make use of the tool for their company – in hopes of one day accomplish both Comma Club (over $1M in revenue).
And those that are interested in earning easy revenue as a ClickFunnels Associate and winning the Dream Cars and truck Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 to your dream car if you reach 100/200 active regular monthly signups, respectively).
With a whopping 40% monthly repeating compensation, ClickFunnels easily has among the greatest affiliate programs of any kind of platform available.
That's right – you get paid a recurring 40% payment on every affiliate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Associate Program. However, exactly what does that truly correspond to?
The basic strategy is a $97/month financial investment and the Etison Suite plan is a $297/month investment. as a result you make $38.80 each basic plan and $118.80 per Etison Suite strategy … every single month!
Usually, every 100 signups will bring in $4000/month in associate compensations (more or less depending upon how many Etison Plan customers are in there).

The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is by far the greatest system if you are planning to conveniently develop high transforming sales funnels.
Since it was built from scratch to be the most effective sales funnel building contractor, it beats out every one of the competition because regard.
On the surface, it may not be the cheapest product out there – however if you use it to its complete capability, your business will end up being much more rewarding and you will conserve cash from not needing to utilize various other tools. Interspire Customization
