Part of the AlmaHotels group, the Hotel Alma Barcelona is situated in the centre of Barcelona just a few steps from Passeig de Gràcia.
Designated a five-star luxury hotel, this charming establishment offers 72 luminous and generously sized rooms.
The Alma Barcelona occupies a singular early-20th-century building, renovated to integrate classicism with a contemporary feel into a space which flows organically between both styles. In the heart of Barcelona, there is an
oasis of peace and calm, largely thanks to the Jardín del Alma, the garden restored in keeping with Ildefons Cerdà's original plan.
In 1860 the urban planner had envisaged the interiors of the blocks in the Eixample quarter as public green spaces which united the surrounding buildings.
Although many green spaces were originally created within each block, there are now very few left and the charming garden at the Alma is one of them.
Because restorative rest is essential in order to resume travel activities with enthusiasm, the Hotel Alma Barcelona beds are dreamy.
Large mattresses made exclusively for the AlmaHotels and excellent quality bed linen which is laundered in its entirety to prevent the repeated use of bedspreads and blankets.
Rooms can be accessed using fingerprint-recognition technology, further proof that each guest is a person with their own unique traits, not just a name on the hotel register.
In accordance with the AlmaHotels philosophy, the size and distribution of all the rooms ensure the highest degree of comfort.
Luminous spaces, restrained colours and clean scents combine harmoniously in a luxury concept which blends the classic with the modern, craftsmanship with high technology.
All at the service of the most discerning guest.
A charming and majestic suite measuring 120 m2 with a 20 m2 private terrace for a privileged stay. Situated on the top floor
and distributed between 5 rooms with large windows to enjoy the Mediterranean light and views overlooking the city centre.
With dimensions of 50 m2, the Executive Suite is designed to recall the original neo-Classical style of this building in Barcelona's Eixample quarter.
High ceilings, large windows and herringbone parquet flooring with a contemporary feel.
With dimensions of over 35 m2, the Grand Deluxe rooms include a small hallway.
The large windows offer views of the lush garden or Calle Mallorca.
With dimensions of 30 m2 and carefully designed down to the last detail.
Luminous and restrained with a contemporary feel.
The informal version of Alma cuisine. Classic tapas, creative sandwiches and the best organic juices.The cocktail bar in the garden at the Hotel Alma Barcelona offers much more than what can be poured into a glass.
The continuous 12 hour service allows guests to enjoy the garden, an inviting space to savour some delicious tapas, to taste the best coffees and teas in Barcelona, or to drink a special Alma cocktail accompanied by a light snack.
The suggestions offered by the cocktail bar invite guests to try a range of gastronomic delicacies. There is also a small selection of dishes on the menu of three-course meals available during the week
L'Aperitivo - Classic cocktails and Alma hotel reinterpretations with live music.
The aperitif originated in Turin in 1786, when Antonio Benedetto Carpono, the creator of Vermouth, invented the idea of an accompanying snack in order to sell his new beverage.
Nowadays, it is the best way to enjoy a good cocktail and the finest cuisine in a casual way.
From 18.00h every evening, the Alma bartender Gianluca Gabrieli concocts classic cocktails or his own reinterpretations of them, which are accompanied by the version of the Italian aperitif.
Moreover, the bar hosts most of the concerts in the Alma Music cycle.
07.00h - 23.00h
11.00h - 23.00h
The Alma breakfast/brunch buffet offers a perfectly balanced combination of excellent quality, unique local produce. Fresh fruit and juices, traditional breads and cheeses, organic cereals, homemade cakes and French pastries are among the options in this Barcelona brunch.
In addition, there are made to order hot dishes on the menu, including pancakes, the Alma ham and cheese toasty or sausage sandwich, hot chocolate with churros, or eggs prepared to taste: fried, scrambled, poached or in an omelette.
Coffee and tea supplied by the long-standing experts of Barcelona: Cafés El Magnífico and Sans & Sans respectively.
Different coffee and tea options have been carefully selected by Barcelona experts and are prepared by the baristas so guests can enjoy the finest infusions for their first beverage of the day.
Cafés El Magnífico (Barcelona coffee importers and roasters since 1919) permanently offer a special blend for the Alma as well as supplying coffees with varying origins depending on which beans have been imported for roasting in their workshop on Vía Laietana.
The extensive gourmet brunch selection is also available as takeaway. The Good Box was created with the guests who have to catch an early-morning flight in mind, but it is a fantastic option for anyone who wishes to have breakfast on the go. Simply order it 30 minutes in advance.
It is delivered with exquisite presentation and choices include French pastries, mini wholegrain baguettes with Iberian cured ham and a selection of Catalan cheeses, energy-giving toast, orange juice, seasonal fruit, a mixture of nuts, select chocolate, and coffee or tea, among other options.
An open space with views of the sea, the Sagrada Familia and Montjuïc to open up your horizons for the summer sunsets. During the summer months, the hotel opens its rooftop terrace to offer 360-degree views of Barcelona. Sun, sunbeds, live music and unique cocktails for an unbeatable evening out in Barcelona.
There is a programme of intimate concerts featuring jazz, soul and other musical genres to listen to as you enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple, a refreshing soda or an exotic cocktail and soak up the elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.
Wednesday to Sundayfrom 19.00h onwards
Alma kitchen is an organic concept that evolves with seasons for cooking with the best products. In this restaurant next to Passeig de Gràcia, prestigious chef Gio Esteve offers a menu with creative interpretations of Catalan gastronomy adapted to each season's produce.
The dishes are suggestive, even surprising, while always respecting the essence of the ingredients in order to enhance their virtues and flavours.
13.00h - 15.30h 20.00h - 22.30h
Whether for personal care, to eliminate toxins or for well-deserved hedonism, guests have access to a dry sauna and steam room as well as a massage room.

The dry sauna and steam room are completed by the contrast showers in the water zone of the Hotel Alma Barcelona spa.
The gym is equipped with a wide range of equipment, including TRX suspension trainers and personal trainer services. The personalised yoga, chi kung and Pilates services available to guests complete the gym facilities offered at this luxury hotel.
A total of 17 services to cover all needs. Basic, aesthetic, specific, special and holistic categories, they include massages and treatments with relaxing, curative, draining, detoxifying, toning or rejuvenating effects.
The swimming pool has the alma or soul of a Japanese onsen and the palette of a Mediterranean sunrise. Idyllic submersion and a relaxing swim to unwind muscles and mind.
The charming garden of Hotel Alma Barcelona reclaims the urban concept with which Ildefons Cerdà (1815-1876) designed the Eixample district: utilising the interior spaces of each block as a place for socialising and bringing natural light, ventilation and a joy of living to his urban planning.
Designed by architects Nori Furlan and Paco Llonch, the garden is an oasis of carefully cultivated vegetation, slate paving and hardwood benches.
More than a simple garden in the centre of Barcelona, it is a shrine to silence, something which surprises visitors when they see the contrast with the surrounding city bustle.
Due to its features, the charming garden space is ideal for private meetings and corporate events at which harmony will be the guest of honour. It is available for private bookings.
The rooftop terrace is separated into two spaces, one part looks towards the emblematic building of La Pedrera while the other faces the characteristic outline of the Sagrada Familia, both designed by Antoni Gaudí.
These spaces are are ideal for celebrations and other intimate gatherings and are available for private bookings.
The privileged views from this Barcelona hotel terrace add a fantastic perspective to any lively event.

Do I really have to save game before giving egg to desert hermit and let game idle for hour? I don't want to lose one hour of progress, because I get gold salamander instead of red. I don't remember what I did 2 years ago in my last playtrough. Or I can play as normal and save before talking, when one hour passes? I want red salamander for Rye/Emma marriage.

The Elder Scrolls Online players discover serious item duping exploit
The MMO's in-game economy may have been disrupted by players making use of a bug.
An exploit in The Elder Scrolls Online allowing players to farm unlimited sums of gold has been discovered and is making waves today. While developer ZeniMax Online Studios has already stepped in to prevent further use of the bug, it's unclear just how much the exploit has thrown off the in-game economy and what can be done to rectify the situation.
A Reddit post by user Mistress-Rarity today brought the issue--which has reportedly been known about since launch, and possibly the beta--to the attention of the public. Without going into detail, it describes the simple process of duplicating stacks of materials by depositing them into a guild bank. Those materials can then be sold to vendors for gold, and by repeating this process, players can amass huge fortunes without having actually done anything to earn them.
In response, ZeniMax disabled access to guild banks early this morning. Additionally, the most recent patch includes changes to the way auto-stacking in guild banks is handled, which may prevent the exploit from continuing to be used once guild bank access is restored.
The existence of an exploit like this has much more serious ramifications in the case of an MMO as compared with a single-player Elder Scrolls game. ZeniMax has not yet indicated how it plans to address the impact of the exploit. Earlier this month, it announced permanent bans for thousands of players found to be cheating, but bans alone may not suffice in this case, as the money and materials accumulated through the exploit may now belong to players who did nothing wrong.
Following a lengthy beta, The Elder Scrolls Online was released on PC on April 4 and is set for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June. The first update for the MMO, entitled Craglorn, is coming to PC later this month.
GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

The Musée de la Percée du Bocage
- 5 Comments
- Last updated: 22/10/2018
In hundreds of villages and towns across France can be found memorials and commemorative plaques to mark their liberation by Allied forces from June 1944. One such village is Le Plessis-Grimoult, which has a small memorial in the square, to pay tribute the men of 5th Battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry and the 43rd Wessex Division, who liberated the village on 7th August 1944.
Some 12-miles to the east of Le Plessis-Grimoult, is the town of St Martin des Besaces, which goes one better, having created its own community museum, telling the history of its liberation on 30th July, during an attack known as 'Operation Bluecoat'. It is hard to believe that the area, which today is so quiet and peaceful, was once the battleground for some of the hardest fighting to liberate France.
On 30th August 1944, the Normandy campaign was in its eighth week and progress by the Allies was going slowly, in the face of stiff resistance by German units, such as the 21st Panzer Division and the 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions, also. The Allies had yet to break through the German front line and begin to push them back, and so Operation Bluecoat was devised. The operation, involving the British 7th and 11th Armoured Division, 6th Guards Tank Brigade, 15th Scottish Division and 43rd Wessex Division, along with other units, under the aegis of XXX Corps and VIII Corps, would advance across a broad front, to push the Germans back.
It all sounded so very simple, but the reality was harsh and for over a week the fighting was fierce. The history of this week-long battle is told in the town museum of La Percee du Bocage, in St Martin des Besaces, which was established by Monsieur Jean Ménard. Housed in a purpose-built building, the museum is an exhibition of artefacts, photographs and dioramas to present a small, but no less important, part of the overall campaign, which is unique to the town.
Operation Bluecoat began early on the morning of 30th August and units from 15th Scottish Infantry Division and 11th Armoured Division were given the task of capturing the town of St Martin des Besaces. This was achieved that day and the people of the town are very rightly proud of the fact, as recognised and perpetuated by the museum.
Staffed by volunteers, the museum is incredibly rich in the range of its presentations and attracts visitors from across the area and school groups attend to utilise the resources. The displays are arranged in eight different exhibition areas to explain the fighting in and around the town, using photographs and audio descriptions to relate the impressions of the soldiers and civilians who witnessed, or were involved in, the events.
On entering the first part of the exhibition, the display gives a brief presentation of French Resistance and the dangers of being under German Occupation. Items here include arm bands, radio transmitters and documentation used to distribute information. Large photographs line the walls with captions to identify the soldiers who took part in the town's liberation and mention something about them.
Although there are a few American items, this museum is about the British and the German units that fought here. One of the dioramas shows German defenders with a Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon taking cover in a ruined building. The manikins are life-sized and look like tailor's dummies, but they serve the purpose, which is to display the uniforms and equipment. Concentrate on the weapons, equipment and other items and it is a very good exhibition. Suggested length of duration for a visit is at least one hour, but to really see everything will take two-hours.
The model diorama of the fighting around the town is an excellent centrepiece and the voice commentary explains events. Small spotlights inside the display illuminate the points which are being explained and this helps orientate visitors and put things into perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit back in July this year and I will go back again, because I would like to read a bit more about the soldiers and study the maps in more detail. It is not that far from the bigger towns such as Vire and Caumont and it really is worth the detour to visit, because it expands on the whole Normandy campaign.
Like many French museums, the souvenir shop is well-stocked, not only with the usual books, models and DVDs relating to the history, there is also a small selection of reproduction items, including webbing and even German anti-tank Panzerfaust weapons. It also stocks some collectables, such as shell cases including 'trench art', which is interesting. The museum also hosts a Liberation Special Event, which includes re-enactors encampments, vehicles, demonstrations and even a collectors' market. Details are listed on the website.
It is a remarkable museum to visit and adds significantly to the understanding of Operation Bluecoat and the important part it played in forming the Falaise Pocket, where the German army in Western France was destroyed. The website has all the details of opening times and this can be found at: www.laperceedubocage.fr.

Healthy Hormones, Naturally
Our hormones regulate so much in our body – from our metabolism and energy levels to our digestive function and mood. Whether you have been diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, PMDD, and hypothyroidism or you're experiencing symptoms such as menstrual cramps, bloating, hair loss, fibroids, mood swings, rashes, breakouts, difficulty losing weight, and fatigue, there are ways for you to get better whether or not you're on medications.
Although birth control pills are an option, there are other ways to not only manage your symptoms, but to get to the bottom of why you're experiencing what you're experiencing. It's never to early or late to start taking better care of yourself, so address those hormones now!
Thyroid Health
The thyroid, a small gland in our necks, regulates our metabolism, temperature, energy levels, mood, our other hormones and so much more. Symptoms associated with thyroid dysfunction include fatigue, anxiety and/or depression, weight gain or loss, hair changes, nail changes, skin changes, digestive disturbances, and more. Blood tests and your body temperature are good ways to gauge thyroid function and are used to implement a treatment plan that may or may not include thyroid hormone. If you're experiencing some of the symptoms listed above, talk to Dr. Anne about how you can address your health to feel more like yourself!
Periods & PCOS
Are your periods regular? Do you know if/when you ovulate? Do you get pain, breast tenderness, acne, and/or mood swings before your period? Are you getting inflammatory acne and excess hair growth? All of these symptoms tell us about what your hormones are doing and along with testing, can be improved upon. You don't have to have painful periods and you don't have to always have your binoculars on in search of your next period! We're all a little different and need different things to support our cycles. Ask Dr. Anne about how you can support your hormones and menstrual cycles (and the symptoms that come with them!).
Menopause & Perimenopause
Perimenopause and menopause can bring with them irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, wrinkles, sagging skin, vaginal dryness, low sex drive, weight changes, mood changes, and so much more. With hormonal fluctuations, these symptoms can be difficult to manage. Support your natural hormone pathways and using naturopathic modalities, this transitional period does not have to be so rough. If you're experiencing some of the symptoms listed above, talk to Dr. Anne about how you can address your hormones and symptoms to feel more like yourself!

by Joe Pulver
Room: appearance of pain untempered.
Below: street corner with a lamp post—a blonde, eyes to belly a poem, magnified—more than life. Both glowing, drawing the world to them.
Day the resident of light, played his part, met the end, went out.
Night, the desolate river faithful only to shadows (and passions, and crime, and blasphemies, and those bruised souls caught in the juju of inflamed black dreams), came.
The blonde, red rouged lips, blue eyes, blue eye shadow, sleek black dress that promised journeys in meadows of burning sun, came to stand. Didn't have to wait long. Never does.
Above: the room of winter. And the heavy man (his crime, sorrow), rigid and narrow—condemned in a grave-room without bridges—whose last-puff-voice spent the stars on wayward empties.
But he remembers orbits, and threads, and the horizons of summer days, dripping with light that could not be withered by black rain collisions. Once he dreamed of flowers—soft peach petals, and easy chair futures . . . Once. He remembers . . . Yearns for more again, for flame.
At his window of steel he sees it.
Flame. So warm . . . so warm . . . to reach out . . . fingers free of millstone pockets, stretching, surging . . . to touch . . . something of the sun . . . again . . .
Presses his palms—exclamations, flat to the glass . . .
And she looks in his direction. Up. Smiles. Her gaze lingers. Invitation.
The instant dream, a tide of music fills him.
His feet a fever rolling, he leaves his room of warped confusion, of rags and cluttered ashtrays, and blank pages . . . The bird free. Its diamond eyes soar . . .
Through halls of dust and squabbling whispers of hunger.
He believes today is not yesterday returned to bestow attacks of splintered and broken.
His breath and dreams in the street of stakes, straight to her side.
He leans into her bubbling cheer. Hears answers flutter. Follows the wake of her chariot of light.
Her phantom-white hands open a door. He enters the bright shore of her pretty, glossed rooms. Shore to corner her castle is set with lace and rainbow flowers.
By the French doors to the balcony he sits. Has tea. Delicate, spiced and warm. And is drawn to her smile of spring in high places.
The night is young and sings of her. The smile of the moon, a spirit bird resting in its white nest joyously beguiled by her warmth.
That warm smile, the sweet thing of Earth that begins in her laugh and sings promises of redemption and more opens petrified places within him . . .
Drawn to it, as he would be drawn to anything or any presence that could turn him from ill star-winds and bleak phantasms of foul decay.
From her mouth and breast charms flow.
She laughs.
A pretty little web she spins.
Her sculptured sweater of All For You comes off.
A shoulder. Salt-white . . .
And soft. . .
His émigré eyes tremble.
The big electric moon colors the meadow of her breast.
She turns and laughs.
Opens the doors to her balcony.
Whirls in the naked moonlight.
The spaghetti strap of her clinging black dress falls from her shoulder.
She laughs, strokes the pale skin of her shoulder.
Her fingers dance in the pallid light.
He wants to say, "I have dreamed of you. Of your cotton candy kiss . . . Your gaze." He remains silent.
Staring at her. At—
Her fingers, secret songs from far corners, touch ghosts captured. Spills them like wine.
They're in his hair.
Sighing in his ear. Charming him with delights spilled from the moon.
They trick his eyes.
She blows him a kiss.
Rushes to his side . . .
The scent of his blood, kissing the animal in her soul. It rubs her in her dry places.
Her ache for blood-comfort throbs.
She sat on his lap. Put her arms around him.
Whispered, weaving her spell. Soul-stealer, cooing lyric yeah-yeah-yeahs in her game of I will love you . . .
Promised . . .
His barriers broken, swept away by the bottomless Paris hours of pleasure on her death-silent lips of rose.
Her face is a lake of open summer sun . . . He tilts into her eyes. In his midnight core cries her name . . .
Her fangs penetrate the smooth flesh of his neck. Get hold of his vein . . . the pleasure burst, the flow—enchantment—of sultry fire . . .
He opens his mouth of sad dreams to speak.
NO words
NO smile
His voice of NOTHINGNESS drowns her voice.
No trance, no wine, this pain, This HOLLOW vulgar language of NOTHING.
TERROR, the journey of pain. Burning in her.
It, the black drift of the hardest truth, scrapes through her. This sharp pecking, tearing crow leaves her tongue a black dry rag.
She tastes her own FEAR. Tries to pull back . . . Too late. It has touched her in her deepest places . . .
She begs, black fever in her inmost deeps . . .
Her arm and her hand go numb, fall away lifeless.
The toes of her left foot wither in her shoe. Fingernails dry and split . . . Her skin goes grey.
It, the HOLLOW NOTHING, moves. Consuming. Not harpooned. No BOOM—no BANG—no boots splashing, no hulk shambling through the labyrinths of her mind . . .
It takes NOW, and ME . . . Scatters all the grains of I. Broken shapes the lost in ashes countries of her memory. Takes sorrow and fight. Leaves holes in images/concepts.
Losing the places and things between the lines. Words are broken, guttural fragments . . .
What parts of HER the indifferent destroyer leaves burn to run, but there's no where to hide.
THERE disappears as it erases every "Mercy" she barricades herself behind.
Bones snap.
The dead blood in her veins sours and burns.
Facts become unstable. Incomplete.
Fear becomes pure.
Being's gallery is full of holes, tiny infinities of emptiness. Identity, pieces of it, now a difficult narrative littered with craters of blind motionlessness . . .
Some bitterblack, silent tiger crisscrosses her thoughts, mind—Soul. Takes sad and dreamy and past of wishes and stories. Its mouth of nothing takes, invades, leaves barren EMPTINESS. The nightmare beast feeds . . . No pretty smile, no tone, no knife or fork, no jaws, just takes . . . and takes . . . There and gone . . . Takes any something into its hollow and leaves HOLLOW.
Quietly it numbs. No method. No precision. No fitting or connected . . . no cracks or mysteries to hunt for information . . . I, or some part of it, transformed, into NOTHING.
It cuts.
Turns off edges, pieces, leaving NEVER BEEN.
It, the soul eater, is moving the borders of her mind. It ripples, rends, burying what parts it takes in absolute of DARK . . . Self divided by SILENCE, but it's not an impact, not a surface pulling, it is just something that exists, something without heat or consciousness that leaves gaps . . . holes . . . HOLLOW . . .
Fear builds.
One I crumbles as terror presses.
Another piece/section/pattern GONE.
Panels woven of iron-and-steel-I and undying, monolithic-Me that could not be dislodged and had outlived one vampiric death, feed the cold expanding BLACKNESS.
A slender piece of Me (perhaps it was a foreground, perhaps a translation, perhaps the memory of a woman in a painting, or a flood of baggage fighting for escape in a song), out of bridges and keys, reaches for a wavering candle of hope that dies alone in the saturation of blank space.
She, summoning a dimming I, shivers as things close, as interiors lose their center and are sucked into Never Again. She can almost see them unwind . . .
laughing when the old man's false teeth fell out as he tried to scream/the way home/the dark tunnel in the fog and the snob/the message rushing in Babi's chest/the early autumn chill on the marble floor, her bare feet leaving bloody footprints/the New Year's mimes lying silent—truly silent/the hottest blood of all/the pretty black-haired girl in the devil suit on all fours, begging/amazing/intricate/the game of nursery rhymes that ended with a half-gurgled grunt of a scream/how warm it felt/bees and marmalade/being informed it was not the end of the world, merely the end of summer—all the clairvoyant nights after/Miles' hushed bye-bye crying/needing math/. . . impulse . . . /absorbing expressions/existence struggling in the white steel hands of the incomprehensible
how simply amusements arrived
flanking prey (wide-eyed Casanova, or courtyard-smooth, god-like thigh of pungent poetry sick of her husband or boyfriend's urge storms—blood's BLOOD) before sampling
the quick fix of BLOOD
sureness/pleased/when I was/reached/solved/every minute of faith closed by this coursing never again of atrocious emptiness . . .
A tear scars her cheek as she tries to recall things now not simply forgotten, but wholly eradicated.
Where first and before were, now is no after, no moments of concern, or doors. Where the authority of solid and known stood, now is things no more.
Losing: all the howls that climbed the walls . . .
of her
what she made
her achievements
what she has seen
the Frankenstein mind of 200 years [feeding/hunting/shaking that fine, tight ass for the prey] 200 years The Thirst drinking hot, gushing BLOOD—200 years of hard, ugly mass murder, dripping (and smeared) with scarlet red BLOOD . . . 200 years of corners and lies: she has been a bitch, a breathtaking syllable in a poem, a coyote, a vagina, an altar, a killer of men, anger, and not quite sure (learning to redecorate after the new clock stomped out the sun) . . .
it's her world
as SHE understands it
HER examples
HER points
HER illusions
HER conclusions
mouth putting an end to
their thirst
she thrived on their fire
. . . preface/possible
nothing is
She is losing herself—
-for a second
-dirty rags of silk
-for the living there is only death
-had to have/not asking/wanting to explode/every juicy little tidbit
-so help me
-what do you mean
-his gray and green rotten fangs
Losing all the pieces and threads of 200 years of power . . .
Her mouth hangs open noiselessly. It can not find or form words. Not the ones she requires.
The gestures and posture of appearances, the muscles and foliage of time she could return to, not cast off, but zeroed!
Her passages erased.
She is naked.
"Fuck." Sputters out . . .
Rain . . . The promise broken with pen and ink . . . The lush paradise the silver lady visitor used to spill over her childhood dreams . . .
Reckonings . . . the murmurs of listen here . . . the listings, noteworthy and those that no longer play the mainstage . . . each and all no longer contributing.
Once and coupling and directions and spent slowly, or ruffled, or carefully, have parted from consciousness . . . even "It was just of the tip of my tongue" is now lost . . .
Where she was sharp and unflappable, brambles of fear ring the hollows.
Predator is PREY. Not embraced, yet drained.
Less and less of herself to deal with . . .
Less and less of the I who is Me to protest/sustain, to know I and all its senses exist in the future—Any future . . .
Less and less of her very essence to rely on . . .
No stars within to find . . .
Her hunger taken from her.
Oh, for an angel . . . for a line . . . for a sky . . . but—
crumbs to follow home
None and
No rope or white horses to ride to freedom and faces and life . . . No bone-faced winter clock of slow to snarl at. She has forgotten joy and how to scream . . .
No womb
No survival guide
No child's books
and ever-soft Mama's voice, so alive with beauty . . .
shades of life unfurled
or blood—life saving BLOOD!—soul feeding BLOOD!
or flames
in This END
or how to say it
The last fragment of her/I/Me/the vampire thing does not snap, or sink, it is not of birds, or Socrates, is not worn out by running through 100 strained lives . . .
The agonies of this spilled void—that does not call or sleep or move straight across
Auroras and places . . . NO.
Memory banks, various montages, streets, personalities, years living and morphing, interconnected to ideas and descriptions and inspirations unwoven . . . Empty.
No lore and its offshoots . . .
No carpet of cowards awaiting her sunrise grave-mouth . . .
Identity—first shy, timid life, and this fearless passage.
The Whole.
No longer unified.
Quietly there . . . and gone
This incarnation of her collective moments slips . . . away
an uncommon death, no thunder, no muttering, no black-wing worm thing from the stars—its red lust a fist of sickness—hunting mortals
broken, out of bravely and finally . . . she no longer knows want . . .
Her heart, a clock without real numbers, stops.
Not even a last breath to gain . . .
(No LOADED right side of the brain. Nothing crosses the corpus callosum.)
Empty takes EVERYTHING.
leaves a grey husk of flesh (No other Me on the other side of the wall of Self; No I to have faith in Me; Not alone (inside) with herself, keeping her secrets; No other coasts of thought; Me not waiting there; Me out of trouble and miscalculations; No Me to find Me; No Me expecting, rising to deal with important matters and truth—imagined or saw; Who I am, as lost as the words of the Purple Sage; Forgetting the addiction and the whip. Forgetting what the black magic d(ID). No I'll committing . . . or thinking . . . or interfering . . .)
No clues; no headlines . . .
a grey husk of flesh
He inhales, takes his nothingness inside—back. Closes his puppet mouth. Wishes he could find a smile or a friendly hand to sever his ties.
He puts his hands in his pockets. Dust and forgotten tides of silence from his world of pain gets under his fingernails . . .
Back in his silent room of bitter autumn pain he tries to recall her smile . . . her eyes—tender birdsong echoed in their soft-fire starlight . . . thinks he remembers her clothes were almost off . . . maybe his gloom blushed as her golden grace gathered . . .
She laughed? Yes. Yes, she did, (it was real) he was sure of it . . . It spilled yellow/white/soft/shining light, warm gardens of light . . .
And was there . . . a kiss?
"Who cares for me?"
So full of teeth blazing, the sun (just this moment risen) is silent.
(LOVE ~ Forever Changes)

Good news for Friday Night Lights!
Watch with Kristin from E! has some good news for all us Friday Night Lights fans….
She has insider information that apparently is indicating the football-relationship drama will be picked up for a second season, or is at least well on its way to being picked up…They had already requested six additional scripts, which was a positive sign…. Travel arrangements and signing of the cast are these apparent indicators now….
I'm really glad to hear this information. I was a late addition to the show….Initially, I remember thinking how incredibly stupid the idea way, but then I decided to watch it, and it really is a great show.
Highly produced, great acting and camera work….It's about so much more than football, and it's good to see that the network is making an attempt to listen to fans and keep it on the air…..I wish we could say the same for FOX and their show Drive…..They pulled it way too fast!
Hopefully we'll get an announcement in the coming weeks to make this official…..say around middle May.
Check out the full scoop if you want over at Watch With Kristin

My appearance on this morning's "Today" show, in which I demonstrated how a kind of simple, warm vinaigrette can be the base for different five-minute sauces.
My appearance on this morning's "Today" show, in which I demonstrated how a kind of simple, warm vinaigrette can be the base for different five-minute sauces.
Comments are no longer being accepted.
Looking forward to trying this recipe. The heavy tomato based sauces are tiresome!
Thank you for the wonderful suggestion! I just made a sauce with freshly toasted coconut, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes. It is delicious on my fried tofu that I combined with blanched carrots and broccoli.
Wow, that's quite the spread for a 4-minute piece! Yum! I'm so happy simple sauces are coming (back?) into fashion; they were what helped me learn to appreciate herbs and seasonings and which foods they complement.
Take carrots: one could nearly make a meal from their potential variations–
a) shredded, mixed with mayo, lemon juice, paprika, walnuts and raisins,
b) roll-cut, steamed and drizzled with garlic butter and parsley,
c) diagonal cut, blanched and soaked in vinegar with onions, jalapenos and cilantro,
d) whole, tossed with olive oil and roasted, sprinkled with toasted cumin,
e) roasted and pureed, swirled with an orange juice, yogurt and ginger sauce,
f) mashed, served with lemon honey butter,
g) matchstick cut, tossed with basil vinaigrette,
h) cooked and riced atop waffles with a maple syrup and whipped cream cheese sauce,
i) iced curls, tossed with a cucumber raita or sweet-sour sauce,
j) julienned, sprinkled with soy sauce and chives,
k) baked in a cheddar shallot sauce….etc.
As the general populace gradually awakens to the need to feed ourselves whole rather than prepared foods, hints such as those you share will be of immense value to the inexperienced cook as well as those used to complex recipes. Thanks for the contined inspiration!
Loved Mark's presentation. I only wish the Today Show host stopped injecting his witty banter into the program. It was useless and very distracting.

Paul Merson believes it would be embarrassing for Manchester United not to attack bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
United currently sit 16 points behind Jurgen Klopp's Premier League leaders, and are some way off the top four as the pressure mounts on Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
However, Merson believes that with Liverpool under pressure to keep top spot from Manchester City, United can go with an attacking attitude and "have a go" at the hosts – unlike the last two goalless meetings between the two sides at Anfield.
The former Arsenal star told Sky Sports: "I think tactically, Mourinho is up there with the best of the best. But really they've got to win here, because the gap is getting ridiculous.
"Mourinho might have to have a go at Liverpool, particularly as Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea have favourable games this weekend. It could be double digits to the top four, which is too many points.
"Liverpool have everything to lose, the pressure's on now. But if they win this, it's another game ticked off, a big game done.
"I've seen these games too many times, and they disappoint at the highest level sometimes, unless you're a major connoisseur of football and like a 0-0 better than a 4-4.
"I'd like to think they're going to have a go and put Liverpool under pressure, because they are under pressure – they're top of the league. It's embarrassing if they don't go and have a go. It's Manchester United. Going there and shutting up shop is a joke.
"They have to score, because I can't see this United defence being good enough to keep a clean sheet. They had a walk in the park against Fulham and still allowed them to score. The best form of defence is attack."

Dr Caroline Edwards Senior Lecturer in Modern & Contemporary Literature at Birkbeck, University of London.
Moon voyage narratives have inspired writers for almost two thousand years, since the ancient Greek satirist Lucian of Samosata projected sea voyagers caught in an Atlantic whirlwind onto the moon's surface in his True History. Lunar travel became a popular subject for speculation in the seventeenth century, as the new science of astronomy brought Earth's only satellite tantalisingly into view. After the publication of Galileo's telescopic observations in Siderius Nuncius (1610), the idea of inhabited moon worlds was explored in a number of travel and philosophical narratives of lunar contact. By the mid-nineteenth century, tales of troglodytic moon civilisations had become increasingly focussed on the scientific principles of space travel, replacing earlier satires and fables of extra-terrestrial utopian societies with detailed accounts of projectiles and proto-rockets travelling to the moon.
During the Cold War's space race and America's Apollo lunar programme in the 1960s, a number of well-known science fiction writers imagined near-future scenarios of settlement, travel and even tourism on the moon. When Apollo 11 landed on the moon on 20th July 1969, two of the genre's best-known authors were interviewed as part of a live CBS television broadcast. Watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin step onto the lunar landscape, Robert A. Heinlein confidently asserted that "before the end of the century we will have hospitals on the Moon for elderly people to enable them to live quite a lot longer," whilst Arthur C. Clarke concurred, informing viewers: "Do you realize the first baby is going to be born off the Earth before the end of this century?"
Only a handful of moon landing narratives have been published since the Apollo programme closed in 1972 – mainly written in the tradition of "hard" science fiction, featuring scientist protagonists and detailed expositions of lunar colonisation and terraforming. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Apollo landing, a small number of narratives about reaching the moon have recently been published – most notably two novels that consider African space programmes (Deji Bryce Olukotun's international thriller Nigerians in Space (2014) and Namwali Serpell's Zambian epic The Old Drift (2019)). Today, internationally co-ordinated efforts to reach Mars have eclipsed the old dream of visiting the moon, with missions such as Mars One capturing the public imagination. The moon remains a crucial first step in building nascent space programmes, however, with Chinese and Israeli programmes sending robotic spacecraft to analyse lunar geology. As we inch closer towards commercial space travel, literature continues to explore what lunar landings mean for different nations and their narratives of progress – both in the near-future as well as during the 1950s and 1960s space race.
Francis Godwin, The Man in the Moone (1638)
Considered by many scholars to be the first work of English science fiction, The Man in the Moone (1638) drew on the rapidly expanding frontiers of geographic and scientific knowledge in the early seventeenth century. The story features a Spanish protagonist, Domingo Gonsales, who flies to the moon in a chariot powered by geese and encounters an ancient lunar civilisation. Written by Francis Godwin, bishop of Hereford, and published posthumously, the text confused contemporary readers who took it to be a genuine travel narrative translated from Spanish. Situated within seventeenth-century discourses of astronomy and cosmology, The Man in the Moone offered its readers the utopian prospect of discovering a new world via interplanetary travel that echoed the real-world discoveries of Columbus and Galileo.
Cyrano de Bergerac, The Other World: Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon (1657)
In his satirical novel, The Other World: Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon (1657), French dramatist Cyrano de Bergerac responds to Godwin's Man in the Moone with his own eccentric story of lunar civilisation. Ascending to the moon in a carriage powered by fireworks, Cyrano's first-person narrator discovers a lunar society that critiques contemporary European politics by imagining a utopian inverse – appearing to be "this world upside down." Monetary value is established not by possessing gold but by composing poetic verse, roasted larks fall from the sky already cooked and the season is spring all year round. Cyrano uses the moon to defamiliarise European conventions and engage his narrator in a philosophical discourse about morality and religion, ultimately refuting standard Christian beliefs (including the existence of God and the immortal soul), causing him to be cast out of the moon and descending back to Earth.
Aphra Behn, The Emperor of the Moon (1687)
Inspired by an Italian commedia dell'arte, Aphra Benn's last produced play The Emperor of the Moon (1687) combines popular interest in celestial travel and the expanding frontiers of the New World with a satirical critique of the Royal Society. The play's protagonist, Doctor Baliardo, thinks he has communicated with a lunar race when he spies cavorting nymphs through his telescope (which, at over twenty feet long, is a comically phallic prop in the play). Lunar habitation is, as the audience realises, a hoax played on the gullible doctor by his own family and servants, who dress up as the lunar royal family and its ambassadors and place images on the glass of his telescope. Featuring state-of-the-art stage machinery and crowd-pleasing song-and-dance routines, Behn's play was extremely popular and its use of slapstick and burlesque to criticise the empiricism of contemporary astronomy chimed with Restoration audiences.
Jules Verne, From the Earth to the Moon (1865)
One of Jules Verne's hugely popular Voyages extraordinaires, From the Earth to the Moon (1865) combines a humorous tale about weapons enthusiasts with impressively accurate and prophetic scientific speculation. The members of the Baltimore Gun Club have been tasked with projecting men onto the lunar surface by constructing a cannon as long as the Eiffel Tower. Despite the comedic silliness of the American protagonists and their imperial ambitions, the novel contains extended calculations on how to build a projectile capable of launching into space. Although the acceleration necessary to launch their gun-rocket would have pulverised the astronauts, many of the text's scientific predictions anticipated aspects of the Apollo 11 mission – including locating the launch site in Florida, building the capsule out of aluminium and naming it Columbiad (the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia in honour of Verne's book). The novel's cultural importance was confirmed when Mission Commander Neil Armstrong cited Verne's narrative in a communication broadcast on 23 July 1969 as Apollo 11 returned home from its successful moon landing.
H. G. Wells, The First Men in the Moon (1901)
Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine, H. G. Wells' scientific romance The First Men in the Moon (1901) imagines mankind's first lunar mission as the result of an unlikely collaboration between the eccentric mathematician Dr Cavor and a bankrupt young businessman, Mr Bedford. Dr Cavor has developed a helium-like substance, which the pair use to power a glass flying machine. Armed with a copy of Tit-Bits, several thick blankets and some cases of provisions they set off into space, navigating their course by using steel roller blinds to attract or deflect the gravitational pull of the moon. Bedford's shamelessly avaricious plans to colonise the moon and prospect for gold are scuppered by their discovery, on arrival, of an advanced race of Selenites. Wells drew on Johannes Kepler for inspiration, echoing Kepler's posthumously published Somnium (Dream) (1608) by setting his Selenite civilisation underground in a network of industrialised tunnels and caves. Unlike his predecessor Jules Verne, however, Wells' lunar narrative is less concerned with the scientific accuracy of rocket launches and lunar landing than the utopian possibilities of the moon's otherworldliness as a setting. Full of weird fungoid plant life, throbbing subterranean machinery and insectoid alien moon men with tentacular appendages, Wells' narrative remains an enjoyably grotesque action adventure as well as a philosophical inquiry into man's relationship with non-human life.
Thea von Harbou, The Woman in the Moon (Die Frau im Mond) (1928)
The author of over 100 film scripts, novels and short stories, Thea von Harbou's impressive literary output has been almost forgotten and her role as one of Germany's most prolific screenwriters overlooked in favour of her role as Fritz Lang's wife and collaborator. Lang's 1929 science fiction silent film Frau im Mond (The Woman in the Moon) (1929) was adapted from von Harbou's 1928 novel of the same title, which featured a technophilic tale of rocket launch and successful moon landing filtered through a melodramatic romance plot. Von Harbou incorporated technical issues in contemporary rocket science, astro-medicine and astronomy, as well as echoing the earlier moon voyage narratives of Verne and Wells. Like Wells' lunar prospector Mr Bedford in The First Men in the Moon, von Harbou's Frau im Mond also features a breathable atmosphere and plentiful gold reserves on the dark side of the moon. Lang's film adaptation (which involved technical input from Romanian rocket scientist Hermann Oberth) stunned audiences with its realistic two-stage rocket launch and is credited with inventing the countdown to zero that was later used in the American space programme.
Arthur C Clarke, A Fall of Moondust (1961)
Following his 1951 lunar novel Prelude to Space, which combined scientific verisimilitude with poetic vision in a narrative of space flight to the moon, Arthur C. Clarke's A Fall of Moondust (1961) remains a thrilling tale of lunar survival. In the mid-21st century, mankind has established a scientific research community on the moon and lunar tourism attracts wealthy sightseers visiting the lunar seas. When a moonquake sinks a cruise ship, the passengers and crew are trapped with a finite air supply, awaiting rescue. Clarke's work as a spaceflight advocate and active member of the British astronautics community not only informed his fiction but also influenced the aerospace industry – his text on rocket design and orbital mechanics, Interplanetary Flight: An Introduction to Astronautics (1950), outlined methods of spaceflight that were later used by the Apollo programme. A tense page-turner, A Fall of Moondust extends Clarke's astrofuturist vision of mankind's conquest of space as both necessary and inevitable.
Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966)
Published just 3 years before the Apollo 11 moon landing, Heinlein's award-winning The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) envisioned lunar colonisation as the first step in mankind's inevitable migration into space. The novel matches thrilling adventure with technological speculation and a compelling cast of characters. Lunar colonists ("Loonies") live in vast underground warrens and harvest wheat to be sent back to an over-populated Earth, which has established the moon as a penal outpost. Featuring polyamory, frontier libertarianism and a lunar uprising that echoes the American Revolution and the Bolshevik October Revolution and is spearheaded by a sentient supercomputer, this novel remains a classic work of science fiction.
Tawfiq al-Hakim, Taqrir qamari (Moon Report) (1970)
Egyptian playwright Tawfiq al-Hakim's mature works examine key issues associated with the space race that the Apollo moon landing brought into sharp focus: should national space projects attract more funding than social programmes to prevent hunger and eradicate poverty? Could scientific research be better directed towards the elimination of disease? Echoing the scientific romances of H. G. Wells, al-Hakim's 1957 play Voyage to Tomorrow asks audiences to consider whether technological progress can be equated with human progress, ultimately rejecting scientific utopia in favour of utilising science to eradicate hunger and poverty. The moon was of particular interest to al-Hakim – his short story Taqrir qamari (Moon Report) (1970) and one-act play Shair ala al-qamar (Poet on the Moon) (1972) drew on lunar locations as settings for exploring these ethical dilemmas. Published shortly after the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, Moon Report dramatises the story of two extra-terrestrials writing a report about life on Earth in which they call for the world's resources to be distributed more equitably. Poet on the Moon (a sequel to al-Hakim's earlier Brechtian play Food for the Millions) similarly uses its engineer protagonist to pursue the dream of eliminating hunger. Written in colloquial Arabic, al-Hakim's science fiction plays use this popular form of entertainment to raise serious questions about scientific and technological achievement, reminding us of the long tradition of science fiction in Arab literature and theatre.
Deji Bryce Olukotun, Nigerians in Space (2014)
Although the Nigerian protagonists of Deji Bryce Olukotun's debut novel Nigerians in Space (2014) don't actually make it into space, this is a novel centrally concerned with man's relationship with the moon. Set in Houston in the early 1990s, the protagonist is a Nigerian lunar geologist tasked with stealing a sample of moon rock from NASA's lab to bring back to West Africa to kickstart Nigeria's space programme. Dr Wale Olufunmi dreams of the technological advances that a successful Nigerian moon landing will bring – communications satellites that can help improve crop yields and track population censuses, bringing innovation to the country as well as reversing colonisation (the scientists plan to return the rock samples to the moon). Shortly after publishing the novel, Olukotun learned to his surprise that the idea of a Nigerian (or African) space programme wasn't quite as outlandish as he had imagined – Nigeria had actually been running a space programme since 2003 and in 2015 a non-profit foundation Africa2Moon launched a crowdfunded continental mission to the moon.
Namwali Serpell, The Old Drift (2019)
Namwali Serpell's genre-blurring epic debut The Old Drift shines a light on one of the space race's more bizarre sub-plots. In the early 1960s Edward Makuka Nkoloso, a member of the Zambian resistance movement, founded an ambitious National Academy of Science, Space Research and Philosophy with the single aim of sending a teenage girl (and several cats) to the moon before the Americans or the Russians. Launched on Zambian Independence Day in 1964, Nkoloso invited the world's press to inspect his training ground at an abandoned farm near Lusaka – where his Afronauts were rolled down a hill in an old oil drum to simulate the experience of weightlessness. Based on extensive archival research, Serpell's novel brings to vivid life a fascinating moment in Zambia's resistance movement that blended anti-colonial performance art and humorous protest with a genuine scientific desire to reach the moon.

There are many reasons you may be trying to cut the caffeine in your diet. Maybe your daily coffee and energy drinks are keeping you up at night, making you jittery, or simply making too large a dent in your budget. Here's how to decaffeinate.
Do It Gradually
Going cold turkey won't just leave you craving caffeine, but may leave you with withdrawal headaches. Cut the caffeine by 25% one week at a time until you are down to your desired intake. Also, stop drinking caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime.
Find Alternatives
If budgeting or sugar and caloric intake is part of your reason for cutting the caffeine in your diet, find a few alternatives to your favorite cafe coffee. For example, matcha green tea, espresso, green or black tea, or even a "dirty" tea latte.
If you are used to drinking coffee all day long, then it is an essential part of your daily hydration. To ensure you remain adequately hydrated replace the coffee you always have in hand with non-caffeinated tea, decaf coffee, water, and other sugar-free beverages.
It won't be as hard as you think, but it will take some self-control!

The workshop with Uzo was excellent in setting out the processes and systems of a customer journey. It allowed us to realise the importance of the touch points, documenting and constantly analysing the journey. Thank you!
Uzo 's enthusiasm, strong expertise in all matters business and her passion for people make her an excellent life and business coach. I have come away from each session feeling more emotionally empowered, clear sighted about the next steps for my business and confident that I can and will succeed. Uzo has been a very positive cheer-leader in this leg of my life. I can confidentially say that she will make a lasting and positive difference in the life of any individual and business that she is invited to work alongside.
I just wanted to say thank you Uzo. You were a key part in helping me build my confidence and encouraging me to understand that I needed to grow as a person. This has led me to starting my own business.
Thanks to Uzo's workshop, I have a better understanding of the lead generation process, and can define better who is my market and my target. She also helped me to visualise the different systems that I can put in place directly in my business for the different journeys of my customers.
Working with Uzo and going through her training courses on client attraction and strategy planning, has really broken down key components that my business needs in order to
progress. By strategizing my mindset, market, and priorities and with Uzo's help, I feel my business will excel at a faster pace.
Uzo is one of the best facilitators I have had the pleasure to meet so far. She was very pleasant and controlled, and handled what can be a very difficult population very well. She was engaging and fun whilst staying very professional. I would love Uzo to deliver all the workshops to my stores. I'm very impressed.
I decided to work with Uzo as I had reached the stage when I needed to review and improve the packages I was offering to clients. I knew that with her business experience and
corporate background, Uzo would be an invaluable thought partner. Working with Uzo helped me gain more clarity to shape the products and services I offer my clients.
Furthermore, she enabled me to focus on the value that I'm able to deliver. I now have more confidence creating proposals for prospective clients, which reflect that value. Uzo is a very insightful and astute coach with a warm personality and direct approach which make her a pleasure to work with.
I have worked with Uzo on several different projects. She is driven, focussed, very inspirational and achieves excellent results for her clients. If you are feeling a bit stuck, you need to speak to this lady – she will sort you out and you will be transformed!
Uzo is an amazing coach! She helps you dig deeper and guides you in finding your purpose. She is very detail-focused and goal-oriented, she's a great coach and one I would highly
Thank you for doing it. It was wonderful and your delivery was amazing fun yet informative.
I was in a job that was making me very unhappy and unfulfilled. I had tried many different things for the last year and nothing worked. I was referred to Uzo and everything changed.
Uzo has an incredible ability to push you to be honest with yourself and take the practical steps to make changes. Her wealth of experience and knowledge allows her to relate to
numerous situations and her wicked sense of humour allows you to relax and feel at ease with her. All qualities you look for in a coach. I have now taken the steps towards starting an
amazing new career.
Taking the personal development course was a real eye opener, helping me point out my strengths and weaknesses while allowing me to learn how best to capitalise on my abilities. Teaching me the power of networking and building relationships is a lesson I have started implementing in my workplace, relationships and even in conflict situations. I also learnt a lot about myself and the kind of person I am, learning not to say yes to every opportunity that comes my way therefore not wasting valuable time and keeping my focus on my goals. Thank you for a brilliant, thought provoking session that has impacted my life in a positive way.
Your team building work has changed the way I think and probably my own approach. Your ability to tailor your services to suit the Client and work within their haphazard environment was impressive. It showed how exible and versatile you can be, how much you knew your stuff and how relaxed you were presenting.
Thank you. The training workshop was really thought-provoking. It has given me new ideas and inspiration.
I found the session with Uzo to be really useful for a number of reasons:
1. Clarity on messaging we use to tell prospects in a simple concise way, exactly what we do.
2. A useful framework for looking at prospects + clients that makes sense and is above all simple to put into practice.
3. Reinforcement for some of the good practices we already have and use but possibly don't put much value on.
Uzo is so personable, fun and I love the extensive examples and also the chance to talk about our business and get some real value straightaway. Thanks so much! Oh and I would 100% recommend to anyone I know that would benefit.
I highly recommend Uzo. She is the coach to work with when you feel lost. When you want to put a map in place that will take you on a journey, and that has core milestones that keep you on track. She ignites hope, and the ability to believe, but at the same time she kicks your butt! When I approached Uzo for coaching, I had been unemployed for about 5 months after being made redundant from my job. I felt like I needed clarity. I was in transition, looking for a new role and attending interviews, but at the same time, I had this burning desire to set up my own business. I needed validation that what I was thinking was viable, and reassurance that I still had the ability to build something great after my confidence had been knocked. I stumbled across Uzo on Facebook and I contacted her. We had an initial chat and the reason I decided to hire her was really things that were said during our chat that resonated with where I was, and where I was trying to go and I believed that she'd be able to guide me on the path to achieving what I was hoping to do.
Uzo has taken me from an idea to delivery. Since starting work with her 9 months ago, I now have a team and we have delivered nine large-scale events. We've learnt a lot, and have been able to establish a growing reputation in our market. If you want to get things done, work with Uzo and come out with a clear plan of how you want to structure yourself, your business, your goals, your objectives and have a point of accountability.
