Let's face it, anybody who is up to something worthwhile needs a coach. Olympic Athletes all have coaches, not because they are terrible at what they do, but because they are great and they are going for something even greater, and they know they can't do it without the support of a coach. The same holds true in every area of our lives, and especially when it comes to leadership.
In today's podcast I go over the coaching methodology and framework that I have developed and utilized over the years with the intention to inspire you to enhance your ability to coach, or be coached, more effectively. I go over the four iterative phases of my coaching approach and discuss specific deliverables and objectives for each phase, as I guide my clients from gaining clarity to developing a strategy, to executing with accountability, and finally expanding their influence far beyond their initial objectives.

Last night for example, I was ruminating on doppelgängers and 'perchance' clicked on a Netflix movie on that very theme. The Scapegoat written by Daphne du Maurier deals with familiar Du Maurier subjects: identity and self, unknown territories, feelings of belonging, and spiritual questions.
I've been thoroughly absorbed in profound personal experiences, and a deep study of timeline jumping, doppelgängers, quantum jumping, remote viewing, parallel lives, and time travel and will write about them here at some time. The synchronicities and magic of it is quite off the chart and keep me shaking my head with wonder at the elegant timing of them all.

PLEASE NOTE this URGENT UPDATE for the WORLD from Simon Parkes about a Possible False Flag Event or World War 3
A psychic's view of Simon Parkes' information in the following videos.
The Czech Republic government is telling its citizens to prepare for the worst.Normally Simon Parkes 'would do a newsletter however, as the situation is so important' he is doing this brief video update.
Most are aware of the situation in Germany regarding storing food and water for upwards of 20 days, and the prospect of conscription or forming a citizens army is being discussed in the mainstream news.
The REAL topic is carefully being hidden and the argument that it is to combat terrorism is nonsense.
The truth is that the negative illuminati in the US have made it known to the German government that they wish to undertake some form of false flag or attack upon a German target.
Germans understandably are very cross - 'If you attack us we're ready for war and will conscript the arm we will provide food and water for our citizens and we will go on a war footing.'
They're taking a leaf out of President Putin's book.
They hope the Americans will back off.
The situation for all of Europe is very serious.
Simon understands London as well as California are potential targets.
This has nothing to do with a mainstream terrorist attack, and all to do with a false flag to try to embolden a third world war, and we really must be strong and not let that happen.'

Awake at 3am?
Near Devizes, Wiltshire
Simply the Best
I had my very own experience wondering 'Did my intense fascination and focus on a tube torus have something to do with the crop circle crafted in a field in Alton Barnes on August 1997?
Here is a small fragment from my ebook published exactly four years ago in August 2012. You may like to purchase The New Frontier: multidimensionality for the full account.
I have often wondered whether I may also have connected to a similar group intention or stream of consciousness. In 1997, I was led by many remarkable synchronicities from Mt. Shasta in California, to a field in Wiltshire in the United Kingdom, all in less than a week, to have my first momentous experience with a crop circle.
In late 1996, I travelled extensively in a camper van through much of California and the Four Corners region of the United States, and in April 1997, I rented a beautifully located apartment where I could look out to the mysterious mountain at Mt Shasta. I spent my days meditating and researching, meeting the locals, exploring the mountain, and taking photographs of lenticular clouds and landscapes, including the magnificent forests around Lake Siskiyou.
On the US Independence Day, July 4, I watched a series of DVDs with friends during breaks in the celebrations that explored the features of the tube torus, which later led to further studies of sacred geometry, the golden mean, the Fibonacci spiral, the flower of life, the Merkabah, Metatron's Cube, zero point, and the harmonics of sound.
Something new ignited in me that day, and on the very next day, I signed off on my apartment and travelled north along the Oregon coast to Portland, where I sold my camper van and boarded an aeroplane for London, not really knowing why I was doing this. I was merely following very strong inner impulses.
On arrival at Heathrow, I rented a car and followed my impulse again, which surprisingly, did not take me to London. Instead, I travelled west. That night, I stayed in a stunning bed and breakfast with a luxurious bath and the best of British humour on the radio.
The following day, I gave free reign to my intuition again. It took me along the M3 to an arts festival in Marlborough, Wiltshire, which meant most of the accommodation was booked out. It was now July 12, 1997. Imagine my surprise when the gentleman giving me directions to a bed and breakfast drew a mud map of country lanes with the key locator being the latest crop circle at Alton Barnes, which was a massive tube torus overlooking one of the twenty-four chalk horses that grace certain grassy slopes and fields throughout Britain.
The dimensions of the immaculately crafted tube torus may be estimated by the size of the people as seen in the middle of the photo. That evening, I watched the sun set from the very centre of this crop circle, overlooking an ancient white chalk horse to the left, and before me, I swear the goddess was lying in the field in elegant repose. Thus began my ongoing study of crop circles and the role of the tube torus and its relevance to our understanding of life on earth and throughout the universe.

Neem Karoli Baba on Jesus
Devotee: "You said to meditate like Christ. How did he meditate?"
Neem Karoli Baba: It seemed as if Baba was about to answer, but instead his eyes closed and he sat there completely still, completely silent. It felt like he had totally disappeared. It was extraordinarily powerful, as if the whole universe had become silent. A tear came down his cheek, and after a couple of minutes, his eyes half opened and with great emotion he quietly said ... He lost himself in love, he lost himself in love.....

Reblogged from Science on the Net
Last December, newspapers around the World have given space on their pages to the Chinese moon landing attempt, which unfortunately failed shortly afterwards, when the rover suddenly failed. Even if the attempt ended in failure, it remains a significant symbol of how much China is investing in scientific research and technological innovation. Moreover, in 2020 China has planned to build the Chinese Space Station.
But not only aerospace engineering. Also particle physics seems to be fundamental in the development program for Chinese innovation and INFN is now one of the major partners in this project. "Italy is a privileged partner for China in the field of particle physics, and Chinese researchers are asking us for years to collaborate on their projects," says Fernando Ferroni, President of INFN. "For three years there has been an agreement between Italy and China to work together on their scientific projects and this year, on May 17th, we will meet their delegation to secure future collaborations."
China is currently working hard to build new satellites and is taking a lot of inspiration from Italian technology like AGILE, a satellite launched in 2007 to explore some of the most violent phenomena of the universe,PAMELA, which investigates cosmic radiation, and FERMI, the NASA satellite mission dedicated to the study of gamma radiation. Furthermore, a recent collaboration between Italy and China was born to study the variability of the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and to realize a sophisticated seismic monitoring equipment to be installed on the CSES Chinese satellite that will be put in orbit in 2016.

Even in Legislative "Short Session" – Number of States Pursuing Shared Parenting Remains Strong
Legislatures across the US alternate between "regular" and "short" sessions with the latter curtailed by upcoming elections. Further impacting the number of bills introduced is that four US states, North Dakota, Texas, Montana and Nevada, host bi-annual sessions, meeting only once every other year.
With the 2018 legislative session being shortened and several states with a strong interest in shared parenting not meeting at all, one might expect the number of bills being considered in 2018 to be lower, perhaps even significantly.
Leading Women for Shared Parenting has now completed its review of statehouses across the US and has identified twenty states considering Shared Parenting Bills in the 2018 legislative session.
Further, five states (Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Minnesota and Illinois) have introduced new bills, meaning in the past 2 legislative sessions, 30 US States have considered a legislative change to Shared Parenting.
With 110 world experts having endorsed shared parenting, and having recently updated their findings, it remains the best outcome for children. Dr. Linda Nielson has also updated her review of the 60 studies available in English speaking journals and summarized:
"In sum, independent of family income or parental conflict, Joint Physical Custody is generally linked to better outcomes for children."
· Shared Parenting is popular, achieving 70+% favorability in repeated polling & voting results.
· Shared Parenting improves children's relationships with both their mothers and their fathers.
· Shared Parenting reduces stress on children.
· Shared Parenting was the recommendation of the largest study of children post separation or divorce, which reviewed 150,000 kids
As Fatherlessness is a growing epidemic and Family Courts are a very significant contributor, more elected officials are opposing their state Bar Association and joining the push to have their state enact what both current research and experts say is best for children.
States considering Bills in 2018 include:
1. Kansas
2. Missouri
3. New York
4. Vermont
5. Michigan
6. New Jersey
7. New Hampshire
8. West Virginia
9. South Carolina
10. Connecticut
11. Alabama
12. Massachusetts
13. Minnesota
14. Illinois
15. Maryland
16. Iowa
17. South Dakota
18. Wisconsin
19. Washington, and
20. North Carolina
A full listing of bills, including links to the proposed language, a listing of bill sponsors and their associated party is available here.
Additionally, LW4SP both hopes and expects shared parenting to be presented in Canada in 2018 and looks forward to advocating for the enactment of this legislation.

Have you ever started out on a path going in one direction only to find yourself, hours later, mindlessly ending up somewhere else?
You planned to check your Facebook page but somehow you ended up on Twitter.
You intended to have a dialogue in one of your LinkedIn Groups, but two hours later you find yourself down a rabbit hole reviewing interesting but irrelevant information and you have no idea how you got there.
"What happened?" you ask yourself, as you emerge from your internet stupor. You were tricked, once again. You've been taken for a ride, sucked in, disgusted with yourself you tell yourself you will do better next time. It is the best kept secret in the world, this "compulsive dependence" of sorts that many of us can have, with social media.
Admit it. Your having an "affaire de ceour." You didn't mean for this relationship to happen. Social media lured you, enticed you, and crept up on you while you were totally unaware. "Beguiled!" You tell yourself, "I've been hoodwinked and tricked." Very simply put, social media has seduced you."
Accept as a matter of fact that one of the many roles and functions of social media is to engage, entice and connect with you.
Social media is a powerful marketing platform that allows us to connect and market our products, skills and services to people all over the world. If used correctly, it can catapult your business exponentially. Yet, if used incorrectly, it can be, as Darren Hardy aptly states, " ……a weapon of mass distraction."
For those of us who are entrepreneurs, time is our most precious commodity. We juggle many roles such as wives, husbands, parents and professionals. We can find ourselves spending a lot of time using social media, after all, we need to market ourselves, promote our services, and develop our internet presence, but are we really using our time judiciously?
You have insomnia, so you might as well do some work on your computer. You check your Twitter account repeatedly to see who tweeted you and who didn't. You check to see who pinned you, who liked you, who is following you, and who is talking in your group. Without knowing it, you are busy spending an awful lot of time on the internet. What are you doing?
Unless you set your boundaries and limits as to what you will and won't do, social media will hold you in its grip and take control of you.
Once we acknowledge that one of the roles of social media can be that of seduction, we can let go of the strong feelings of recrimination and reproach that we can develop about our attention span, lack of ability to focus, and begin to take control of the situation.
You can stop now with the self-doubt, the self diagnosing and self -recrimination. No, you don't have Attention Deficit Disorder; after all, you successfully graduated from high school, maybe even college. Surely, someone would have noticed your distracting tendencies by now. So no, you don't have attention difficulties. You do however, have organizational ones.
All it takes is some awareness and a little discipline which is something that we all have.
Before sitting down in front of your computer or lap top state your intention clearly as to what you are going to do.
- I will spend 1 hour today, reviewing and responding to the LinkedIn groups that I am a member of.
- I will spend 40 minutes on Facebook, reviewing and responding to my likes
- I will review my Twitter account and send out 5 to 8 tweets.
1.State your intention clearly. Write it down on a sticky note and put it where you can see it and stick to it.
2. Set the amount of time you will spend on line and stick to it.
3. Finish your intended online task or project before indulging in the interesting tidbit of information.
Remember social media is a tool, an instrument, a device for us to use. We are in the driver's seat. We are in control. Knowing that part of the social media game is to attract, entice and seduce you, you can learn to set limits and boundaries about how and what you spend your time doing while on the internet. Use your time constructively.
So, are you in control of your use of social media or is social media in control of you?
This has been a tongue in cheek blog written for entrepreneurs who perhaps are not aware that they need to develop some limits and boundaries regarding how they use the internet. If, however, you find your internet usage is interfering with your day to day life, you may have a problem. Take a look at the list below, which according to Toronto Family Counselling Services, are signs indicating the possibility that internet use has become problematic.
- * Spending excessive amounts of time (6-8 hrs. per day) on Multi-User Dungeons, Newsgroups, Chats, two-way communications (i.e.: ICQ), Messenger Services etc.
- Your social life depends on making acquaintances on the internet.
- Your sex life depends on making acquaintances on the internet.
- Spending less and less time on meals at home or at work, and eating in front of the monitor.
- Denying time with your loved ones while spending too much time on the internet
- Family members complaining about you spending too much time in front of the monitor
- Checking on your mailbox too many times a day
- Logging onto the Net while already busy at work
- Sneaking online when spouse or family members are not at home, with a sense of relief
- Increased anger, denial and anxiety when asked to stop
If you are not sure but suspect you, your partner, or child has a real and serious internet addiction problem, connect to your local addiction service provider in your community and ask for an assessment.

There is a great deal to learn about living full time in a recreational vehicle park, so it's vital to do your homework earlier than you decide to maneuver into one in your RV. Additionally they shed themselves of furnishings, art work, something that takes up loads of house (such as pastime supplies, holiday decorations, containers of family photos, libraries, magazines, newspapers or collectibles), pets, unless they are very small, cumbersome electronics, extra clothes (especially cumbersome gadgets), duplicate household items (comparable to second units of dishes and silverware), decorator gadgets, heavy cleansing gear (comparable to full sized vacuum cleaners), duplicate tools and recreational equipment (similar to kayaks, skis and clunky sports activities gear).

In case your dog cannot journey in the cabin with you due to size or if the airline canine service is simply too massive, then they can be shipped as checked baggage and one other size of canine crate can be utilized. Because November is at the tail-end of the season, the chance of a hurricane or main tropical storm is low. As a result, travel insurance coverage is much less essential.

text: There is a fair bit of confusion out there with regards to the right kind of content to put out as part of any content strategy on social or otherwise. I've figure that it really boils down to 3 fundamental human needs to either be entertained, educated or inspired. With all the content out in the world, doing each of them will illicit some sort of response, but when they start working together the content becomes worth spending time with. Alone they create novelty but together they can create value.

Standing in a choice and sunlit spot along the Dallas parade route that day in November 1963, Abraham Zapruder put his Bell & Howell 414PD to his eye and filmed the 26 seconds that shook Americans to their core.
His granddaughter Alexandra Zapruder describes the day of the Kennedy assassination, and the burden of subsequent years, in her new memoir, "Twenty-Six Seconds."
"I've got it all on there," a horrified Mr. Zapruder realized, reviewing the film hours later: the beautiful day, the photogenic president, the first lady in her pink suit, the explosion of blood, the end. It was the first of hundreds of thousands of times the images would be studied — by federal investigators; the Warren Commission; and an array of Americans who used it to support ever wilder theories of Soviet plots, a federal government cover-up and other conspiracies.
In this age of dashcams, body cameras and police confrontations taped on iPhones, Mr. Zapruder's 26 seconds stand as the most famous bystander documentation of a crime. Today, these recordings are the kind of firm evidence we have come to expect — indeed, it's the absence of a film that raises suspicion. But in the 1960s, the Zapruder film was that rare occurrence, where events and an amateur's camera lined up. It was proof of both what happened and what did not. Perhaps its rarity is what also fueled — to the lasting sadness of its maker — denial by some in a shocked and grieving nation.

Ellis Faas is a brand that I've been interested in trying for awhile so I took the opportunity while at The Makeup Show Orlando this past weekend to give them a whirl. My first product from them: Milky Lips L202.
For those new to the brand, Milky Lips is a long-wear liquid lipstick. It has a glossy finish and is highly pigmented. It is housed in a silver pen-style click brush applicator. The formula feels extremely comfortable on the lips.
L202 is a Dark Blood color. Literally…it is a dark blood red color. It can be applied in a thin layer to appear more stain-like or a full application that will give you semi-opaque glossy coverage. I would describe it as a gloss/lipstick hybrid.
Wear time was decent (4.5 hours) but this will be significantly affected if you're eating or drinking. It's non-drying but I wouldn't call it hydrating. It did not leave a stain on my lips like I was expecting (the rep stated that it would), but this was a positive for me.
My only complaint is with the brush applicator. It takes FOREVER to get product at first use. I'm talking 50 clicks. It was a little frustrating because I wanted to be careful not to over prime the applicator (old memories of the Stila applicators that are similar), but being patient with the click process helped keep any product from being wasted. The brush bristles are a little more stuff than I expected, but this helps with better control.
Overall I really like this product. I don't know if I would call it a new fave but I definitely think it's something worth having in your personal kit. If you're a makeup artist you would definitely want to use more sanitary practices to apply this to your clients but that's not a problem at all.

Every fall is packed with fun fall trends, and this year, the over-the-knee boots are big. I love them for their edgy and faltering look, and even though the over the knee boots don't work with everything, most of us have pieces in our wardrobes that they pair perfectly with ~ I am talking about skinnies, blue or black that would match the color of the boot. You can pair the boots with long sweaters to create a long lean leg, and you are ready to rock the look!
On a personal note, I wanted to share that after a two month ordeal, we were finally able to finish most of the floor reconstruction in the house and move back in (you can read more about my house-flooding story here). I decided to install dark flooring this time, and it looks very different from the lightly colored floors I've always had. This, of course, means that the color of the walls and accents need to be changed… Yes, I always manage to complicate my life, but I guess this is the life I like ~ it always evolves and is never dull. So this weekend I'll be spending a lot of time in home stores… and this relaxed fit sweater, skinnies, and over-the-knee boots would probably make a perfect outfit for that.

Almost immediately the speaker lost me.
I had signed up for a webinar on storytelling and was looking forward to it. Thinking I'd learn new tips, I made time in my day to tune in. It took a few minutes to demonstrate value, and I was patient with the introduction phase of the presentation. But from the very beginning the speaker's voice started to irritate me.
She was using uptalk. Uptalk is a pattern of speech which sounds like you're asking a a question instead of making a statement. Uptalk is a speech pattern heard in many teenage peer groups. So, it caused the presenter to lose credibility. In addition, she spoke with a vocal fry, which is a gravelly, low pitched quality. Think Kim Kardashian.
The result was that I left the webinar. I couldn't listen to that for even 30 minutes. The information would have to be cutting edge research in order for me to listen until the end. Uptalk is sweeping the nation and I continually tell young audiences that this way of speaking doesn't serve anybody in the workplace. If I wasn't willing to listen to a free webinar on an interesting topic, Imagine the impact of uptalk when trying to influence a manager or prospect.
When it comes to communication, the meta message is in the tone and not in the words. Uptalk communicates a lack of conviction and confidence and can taint a public speaker's brand. Maybe the speaker was an expert. I'll never know because I didn't have the interest to find out. By simply bringing the voice down at the end of a sentence a presenter will automatically sound more authoritative. It's a little tweak that can have a big impact.
Public speakers and communicators have the power to manage perception. To be heard as an expert it's not enough to know your subject. You need to sound confident. And to do that, hold on to this thought: Down, Sentence, Down.

5 rounds with stellar form:
20 straight leg situps
20 tick tocks R 25/35
20 tick tocks L 25/35
20 superman back ext
20 v-ups
20 Aussie pullups
Post "done" to comments.
Daily Extras - double up the reps (minus the Aussies)
Workout Notes:
Depending upon what the might Wheel dished out to you Monday, you might be a little behind on pulls this week. Those Aussies should cover it.
Be careful with Aussies. Only Vets to this movement should do that many reps. Half, or less for the rest of you!
If you are looking for an extra challenge, try to do those SLSUs without using momentum.
It'd be funny to be able to do this daily! (GPP OK)

5 ways smartphones can boost your efficiency and productivity
If you think your iPhone or Android is wasting your time, you're doing it wrong. These tips and apps will help you save time and, quite possibly, money.
We are deeply connected to technology. Computers, smartphones, tablets, apps, and social media platforms influence nearly every aspect of our lives.
In some ways, all of that technology has improved our productivity and the speed with which we complete our work. However, more devices also mean more information to digest and, sometimes, more work. Often, it ends up complicating life more than simplifying it.
Thankfully, there are a number of apps designed to make your life easier by boosting your efficiency. Of course, there are numerous apps and services that will help you, but we've chosen five that address the more pressing concerns in our lives.
Read only relevant news stories
All of us like to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events, but with so many blogs and news sites, it helps to have an app that curates this content for you. That way, you're left with only the news that interests you.
If you're an iPhone user, Prismatic is one such app for curation. It uses your preferences, location, and subscriptions to shape an intelligent news app. Also, the article you're reading is accompanied by three of the most popular tweets to show the general mood. Sometimes they're general tweets, but the slick design and clean interface makes it a solid app. There's also a desktop version for those who don't own an Apple device.
For Android users, there are the Flipboard and Google Currents apps, both of which are equally good for organizing your news feed. Flipboard is by far the more stylish of the two, but Currents is arguably a more versatile product.
Get—and stay—organized
If you need some extra help getting organized, there are a number of apps to keep yourself in check.
Along with the Calendar function that's included with any Apple or Android phone, there are apps such as Astrid, Remember the milk, Clear, and Any.Do to keep you on top of your schedule. With the exception of Clear, all these apps are free and will help you if you put a little time into them.
Save time completing tasks
It's one thing to be organized, but what about completing those tasks that are spread across different apps, such as tracking deliveries, paying bills, and syncing your phone contacts with your Facebook account.
If you're an iPhone user, consider downloading EasilyDo. It can connect to your social media and email accounts and, instead of clicking on a task and directing you to said app, it lets you complete them through the app itself.
If someone's birthday was coming up, for instance, you would be notified and allowed to post a message through EasilyDo. If you have an appointment, it alerts you when you should leave and provides directions.
The app has some nice touches like alerting you to bad weather the night before an appointment, tracking shipments, and merging duplicate contacts. Perhaps the best feature is when you pull down on the list. It shows you what tasks you've completed and how much time you've saved by using the service.
Avoid eye strain
Chances are you work in front of a computer every day. spending at least eight hours looking at a screen can strain your eyes. Plus, looking at screens late at night, whether on your smartphone or TV, makes it difficult to sleep.
If this is the case, you should download F.lux for your desktop. Compatible for both Windows and Mac users, F.lux adds an orange hue to your screen so it's easier on your eyes and prevents you from getting headaches.
Since looking at a screen at night isn't good for you, the app automatically adjusts itself when it reaches evening in your time zone, so all you need to do is select your settings and let it do all the work.
Unfortunately, the app isn't available for Android, and can only be downloaded on a jail-broken iPhone or iPad. If you're not comfortable jail breaking your phone, then you will have to wait until Apple or Google allow an official version in its stores.
Wake up feeling fresh
Speaking of getting to sleep, if you wake up feeling groggy or struggle to get out of bed, you might consider monitoring how you sleep.
If you're an iPhone user, you could download Sleep Cycle, which monitors your sleeping patterns and wakes you up at an optimal time. By setting the alarm, it will wake you up within a 30-minute period, depending on your sleep cycle. The more you use it, the more you'll be able to identify patterns that aid or hinder your sleep, such as caffeine, mood, time spent in bed, and timing.
For Android users, Alarm Clock Xtreme is a good alternative. Along with a straightforward interface, the app has some nice touches including a home-screen widget that tells you when your alarm is set. It can also detect when you're moving and disable the alarm for you.
On top of that, it could be worth visiting the site sleepyti.me, which will help you calculate the best times for you to fall asleep. Just enter in the time you need to get up and the site will recommend different times for you to sleep.

EVERYONE gets their Baltimore Running Festival photos for FREE!
That's right, thanks to CareFirst BlueCross Blue Shield, this year everyone will get access to Free Race Photos! Participants will have the ability to share all their race photos on Facebook and/or download them at no charge. Everyone will have the ability to take the hi-res download to your local photo store to make prints.
You will receive an email just before race day with instructions on how to post your Free Race Photos gallery directly to your Facebook account once they go live. Some photos are posted during the race so be sure to post your gallery ASAP so your friends and families can keep tabs on your race day experience! Others are posted soon after the race and throughout the weekend so be sure to check in often. Those who opt in to post to Facebook will be entered into drawing to win one of 10 free entries into the 2019 Baltimore Running Festival.
PHOTO TIPS: Be sure to wear your bib on the front to ensure the photographers capture your bib number in the photos and keep your race bib uncovered and in clear view. We recommend stopping your watch a few seconds after crossing the finish line so it may be possible to identify your photograph.
SCENIC FINISHER PHOTOS: CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield has also made arrangements for photographers to take finisher photos with the Inner Harbor as a backdrop to help make the memories last. Photo stations will be set up along the water near the Inner Harbor Amphitheater where you can get a photo with the FINISHER Tower and the Inner Harbor in the background. Finisher Photos will be available for posting or download with your other race day images when you register for your FREE PHOTOS.

This three-day spiritual retreat provides an opportunity for you to learn more about faith, to experience Christian love and support, and to make new faith commitments. The point is to inspire, challenge and equip you for a closer friendship with Christ and for Christian action at home, church, school, and community.

Camping the Great Ocean Road
January 1, 1970
by Kyle Johnson
An easy and affordable 4 day trip from Melbourne
Living in Melbourne on a working holiday visa, my partner and I are often looking for trips that we can do from the city. The Great Ocean Road is a must-see in Australia, so we set out to do it over 4 days, with a rental car and a tent. This was plenty of time to see the sights and hit all the tourist spots. In fact, 3 days would probably have been enough.
Contrary to our usual travel style, we decided not to book anything in advance, and just go with the flow. It is such a hot tourist spot that you can't miss much, even if you don't do any prior research. You just follow the one-lane road and signs, and take your pee breaks at Tourist Info Centers. They'll provide you with maps and can quickly highlight the hot spots. Easy!
The majority of tourist sites along the Great Ocean Road are free – making this a very affordable trip. As budget travelers, we stayed in campgrounds, and opted to buy most of our food at grocery stores, with the exception of local treats such as the scallop pie. If you are driving a campervan and hoping to find public car parks to sleep for the night, you may be out of luck on this trip. We learned that some shires do not allow this and will heavily fine you. The Surf Coast Shire is one of these. However, paid campsites in the local holiday and RV parks typically only cost $25-40 per night. In total, our trip cost us $350 for 2 people.
DAY 1: Torquay to Kennett River
Torquay is a surfing town, birthplace of RipCurl and Quicksilver. But if you aren't up for surfing, there are some nice sandy beaches and walking trails along the coast that you can follow. The Surf Coast Walk begins just east of Torquay and stretches west to Fairhaven, so you can park your car at any of the free car parks along the coast, and pick up the trail for any length that you'd like. We started our 1 hour walk at the Point Danger car park. We had originally hoped to do some snorkeling there, as the Point Danger Marine Sanctuary boasts some nice kelp forests and sting rays during low tide, but the water looked pretty rough. So we continued walking along Back Beach and then picked up the Surf Coast Walk which crosses Spring Creek on a nice boardwalk pathway. We continued to Rocky Point for some nice views before returning to the car.
Bells Beach is a renowned surfing beach, but only suitable for the experienced. So if you aren't surfing, there really isn't much to see. But if you have serious FOMO like myself, it is a relatively quick detour off the Great Ocean Road to check it out.
The visual of the Great Ocean Road that you likely have, winding along the coast, only begins just after Anglesea. If you are nervous about driving, have no fear – there are frequent pullovers on the road (heading west only), to allow for passing, as well as frequent signs reading "IN AUSTRALIA, WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT"…just in case you have somehow forgotten this crucial piece of information? There are also frequent lookouts for you to stop and take photos. However, driving can become a little difficult at sunset with the sun in your eyes and reflecting off the ocean spray.
Aireys Inlet is worth a stop to check out the beautiful sandy and violent beach, and to make the short walk up to the Split Point Lighthouse. Tours of the lighthouse can be arranged, but we just walked up to the base where there were some lookouts.
Teddy's Lookout and Erskine Falls are a small detour from Lorne, and definitely worth stopping to see. Teddy's Lookout is a 1 minute gum-scented walk from the car park to a nice view of the coast. You can take another short walk (100 m) down to a lower lookout, or continue along a longer trail. Erskine Falls offers a nice change of scenery after you've been staring at the coast for a few hours. It's a green drive up to a car park, and a 2 minute trail to the upper lookout. You can continue down a massive set of stairs to the base of the falls for a much nicer view, and even hop across the river if the water level is low enough, to get right up to the base of the falls.
We ended our day at Kennett River Holiday Park, a relatively small RV Campground that has a population of koalas that live behind it! Regardless of whether or not you stay there, you can walk or drive up Grey River Road behind the park, and spot them in the trees. There is also a 30 minute forest walk that you can do at night to spot glow worms. Unfortunately we visited after some devastating fires, and this trail was closed. The Kennett River Holiday Park had a comfortable camp kitchen, BBQ, bathrooms and showers. If you are looking to do more classic camping, nestled in nature without such luxuries, there are campgrounds within the Great Otway National Park. Most must be booked and paid for in advance (usually $28/night and can accommodate up to 6 people), however, there are multiple free campgrounds that operate on a first come, first serve basis.
DAY 2: Apollo Bay to Port Campbell
After Apollo Bay, the Great Ocean Road wraps inland, first through green forested land and then through country side. Maits Rest is a beautiful 30 minute trail just off the highway, along winding boardwalks, through lush rainforest and under giant ferns.
The next turn off is for the Cape Otway Lightstation, which you must pay an entry fee to see. We decided to skip this, but still did the drive out to the lightstation, because it's a popular drive to spot koalas. Tourists will be pulled over all along the road.
At Lavers Hill, you can take a detour along the C155 to go to the Otway Fly Treetop Adventures (paid activity), or to see Triplet Falls, Hopetoun Falls, or The Redwoods. Parks Victoria calls Triplet Falls one of the iconic sites within the Great Otway National Park, but we weren't very impressed. Perhaps there just wasn't enough water flow at the start of February when we visited, but with the heavy vegetation and the low flowing waterfalls, we didn't see much at all. The trail was beautiful though, very similar to Maits Rest, except it involved a lot of stairs and included some history and artefacts related to the logging industry.
The Great Ocean Road will then meet back up with the coast. The next major stop is Gibson Steps, which are a MUST if you are able to do stairs. The steps lead down the sheer cliff to a beautiful sandy beach, where you will have a view of 2 Apostle-like rock formations. But these are not considered part of the Twelve Apostles.
Very nearby are the Twelve Apostles, themselves! There is a large car park, bathrooms, information centre, and a trail that crosses under the Great Ocean Road to multiple viewpoints of the rock structures and beautiful coastline. We caught them at sunset, when the cliffs glow yellow and mist lingers in the air.
After the Twelve Apostles, it was a little too late to stop and see Loch Ard Gorge, so we decided to leave it for the following day and stay in nearby Port Campbell for the night. We stayed at the Port Campbell Holiday Park, located in town, next to the Tourist Information centre. It had a very nice and large kitchen, as well as bathrooms, and other shared indoor spaces.
DAY 3: Port Campbell to Warrnambool
We decided to do the 12 Apostles Gourmet Trail on Day 3. So we started by backtracking along the Great Ocean Road to Princetown Road, which takes you inland to the various stops along the trail. On the way to Princetown Road, we stopped to see Loch Ard Gorge, which is a really beautiful area with an interesting coastline and history. It is easy to see what makes it part of the "Shipwreck Coast". From the car park, there are nice and easy trails to various lookouts, as well as a gorgeous beach sheltered by rock walls on either side that you can walk down to.
We then decided to re-visit the Twelve Apostles, since it was on our way. It looked quite different at 11 am. Compared to our misty, romantic, sunset view the previous day, it was much brighter and clearer. We were glad that we took the 20 minutes to stop.
After turning onto Princetown Road, the Gourmet Trail took us approximately 2 hours to complete, but we only made 3 stops in between all of the countryside driving. It may not be worth doing if you are crunched for time, and don't intend to buy anything. We stopped at Gorge Chocolates for a few little samples and to buy a tiny treat, then continued on to Apostle Whey Cheese where we participated in a free tasting session of their 12 cheeses. Then we hoped to stop at Newtons Ridge Winery but it was closed. Many of the places along the Gourmet Trail have seasonal hours, so if you are hoping to stop somewhere specific, it is best to confirm their hours. We continued to the town of Timboon to check out the Railway Shed Distillery. We had expected to see a real distillery in operation, but were disappointed to find that it was really more of a very stylish restaurant with some whiskey samples.
From Timboon, we returned to Port Campbell to join back with the Great Ocean Road. From here we made quick stops at The Arch, London Bridge, The Grotto, the Bay of Martyrs, the Bay of Islands, and Boat Bay. These were all worth stopping for, as they were all right beside the road and required very little walking…but after staring at the amazing coastline for 3 days, our stops started getting quicker and quicker. Plus, we were trying to make it for Cheeseworld in Allansford before its closing time at 5 pm. We made it just in time to try some of the samples and make a couple purchases at the store (very affordable cheeses!), but once again we had hoped to see an operating factory – which is not offered due to Health and Safety Regulations.
We then drove through Warrnambool to Kilarney to check out the Kilarney Beach Camping Reserve, which sounds beautiful and only costs $20 per night for a site. But upon arrival, we didn't even need to get out of the car to realize that we didn't want to stay there. The campground consisted of a cricket field and clubhouse in the middle, and RV sites surrounding the perimeter. Blaghk! Typically we wouldn't care about the lack of luxury, but it was a rainy night, and we had been spoiled by having indoor camp kitchens. So we returned to Warrnambool, a sizeable city, where we grabbed some groceries and then pitched our tent at the Fig Tree Holiday Village. It was a comfortable campground with lovely owners, and we were lucky enough to spot a koala in a tree within the campground.
DAY 4: Back to Melbourne!
By Day 4 we ran out of things to do, because we didn't care to continue any further west. However, worth a stop is Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve, which sits within an extinct volcano crater. From here, you can return to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road, or take the inland route which will save you more than 2 hours of driving. Remember that if you chose to take the Great Ocean Road home, you won't be able to pull over on the side of the road to let speedy people pass or to appreciate the view quite as easily as you did heading west. We chose the inland route, and broke up our drive home with a stop in Geelong. Depending on the day, you could stop for a tour at the Little Creatures Brewery.

I was wide-eyed awake at 1:30 am this morning. I had a dream that our girls were trying to 'skydive' from the balcony of our house and I was trying to run, in the middle of the night, to catch them. Naturally, after waking up to this odd dream (100% random) I couldn't go back to sleep. My dream felt so real, even though I knew both of my girls were sleeping upstairs (and yes, I checked their monitors to be certain).
Perception and Reality-- it's interesting how the first impacts the latter so often. Take this dream for instance-- not real, not remotely real, yet it felt that way for a few hours. This got me thinking-- what if I started acting on those feelings from that dream? What if I started viewing the girls in light of that dream, wrapping them up in bubble wrap because they can't be trusted in the middle of the night from shenanigans? Forcing them to sleep within eyeshot just in case? And then take it a step farther- what if I viewed them and treated them accordingly for the rest of their lives, all because of one perception of their judgement?
How often do we let our feelings and ideas and mischaracterizations guide us in operating as if it is the truth, most especially about people? I know I'm guilty.
Perceiving someone as rude and therefore he/she is rude. Perceiving someone as cold or harsh therefore he/she is cold and harsh. We stamp people with labels and then hold fast to that label for a lifetime, sometimes.
Some people would argue-- 'But this is intuition, I'm a great judge of people'. Or-- 'I had a gut feeling so I acted on it.' I think there are times when intuition is in play-- especially as a parent, I see this. Often, when we advocate for others and their needs, we do have an intuitive ability to read the situation especially for someone in the midst of struggle.
But oh-so-often, this becomes a statement to justify our feelings that are dwelled on or acted upon, turning perception, warped or maybe justifiably, into an operating truth.
While we shouldn't operate as nieve, foolish individuals who can't see a pattern that negatively impacts people, we should filter thoughts, ideas, and feelings through lenses of empathy, asking ourselves 1) where our perceptions might be incorrect or not real 2) what world is this person coming from. Not a literal part of the world, although this might be true, what is this person's framework for life? For today?
"That is, when we judge the actions of others, we should put ourselves in their place, trying to understand how they see themselves and their world. And when we judge ourselves, we should see ourselves as others see us, overcoming the ease with which we find extenuating circumstances for ourselves." -Riso/Hudson (Personality Types)
What I appreciate about this statement is that it brings into reality that we are constantly judging or determining more about those around us. (Don't view "judging" in the same way we use this word in society.) When we start to operate in this manner-- a manner of grace and a filter for feelings-- I have found, that relationships flourish tenfold, that we let people off the hook, our own hooks of perception. (Also the direction of this post was less self-reflective but that last line-- 'overcoming the ease with which we find extenuating circumstances for ourselves. Put a pin in that.)
For young professionals, this could be a game changer in the workplace, allowing for both empathy and accountability. A balancing act, not something that naturally happens, but with intentionality, we can choose to filter our perceptions.
Also, side note: We will continue to study this idea-- the Enneagram-- on the Sharpen podcast in the coming months. Stay tuned!

5 Keys for Inner Peace
5 Keys for Inner Peace
By: Sika Degbo
"You're the only home you'll ever know. Decorate yourself with love and compassion, furnish yourself with inner learning, declutter yourself with reflection, and don't let the dust of routine pile up on your soul."
The above is a quote that made its way to my tumblr page through one of the many uplifting accounts that I follow. I unfortunately can't properly credit its author, but the truth of the sentiment is very clear. Treat yourself with love and compassion. Care for yourself and treasure the "home" that is you.
Often times, we can become so consumed with striving, achieving, and tending to the outer-appearance of our lives that we overlook the quality of our internal state. By following the five keys below, you'll be right on your way to maintaining a happy and healthy inner state. And when you get the inside right, everything else will follow.
"Look down at your body
there is no home like you
thank you"
- Rupi Kaur
Practice being present
Setting time aside for your mind to be at peace is so essential to your mental health. Incorporating a daily routine of meditation or mindfulness will give your state of mind serious relief. I recently read Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now and the biggest takeaway that I learned was that by focusing on what's right in front of you, you can practice detaching from the default chaos of the active mind.
Stress and anxious feelings are the result of pondering the future too much while depression and low-energy states of being are the result of pondering the past too much. When we're truly present in the current moment and acknowledge that we're not defined by our thoughts (no matter how crazy they get), we are at peace. Meditation and trying to get your thoughts to quiet down may be a challenge at first but I recommend using apps like Headspace and Insight Timer as an introduction to the practice.
Watch what you consume
The things that we consume deeply affect how we feel. We're all familiar with this when it comes to the foods we eat. We know that if we eat a ton of fried food, sugar and alcohol we're most likely going to feel heavy and bloated, whereas if we incorporated some fruits and vegetables we'd feel lighter and more energetic. Less commonly acknowledged, however, is the importance of monitoring the content that we consume. Our mental states are sensitive to everything that makes up our daily life. The people around us, the music we listen to, the movies, the news, and the TV shows we watch. Even our environment affects our mental state. Anything that makes us feel discomfort is a sign that an adjustment needs to be made.
Prioritize your relationships
We can do the work of becoming healthy and stable and even manage to feel at peace more often than not, but life loses its color when we go it alone. "Staying-in" is becoming the new hip trend but if your daily life is lacking in interpersonal connection, you could benefit from making it a point to schedule happy hour or dinner with some of your favorite people a couple of times a week. If you're too busy to make time for meeting in person, then try scheduling a check-in phone call if only for 10 minutes. Feeling connected with others who care about you will infuse your life with feelings of love and a sense of meaning. It's powerful to know that we're strong enough to go about this life alone yet not wanting to. The right relationships can propel us to new levels in all areas of our life so make sure you show them the appreciation that they deserve.
Make time for fun
Ever fall into the rut of going about your daily grind during the week? Often, we'll go to work and if we have enough energy we may hit the gym afterwards, then we'll go home, have dinner, go to sleep then repeat it all over again the next day. Saturday arrives and the week that just passed feels like a blur of living the same day over and over again. When the weekend comes we may be so exhausted that we just want to laze around, or we'll have to run errands and do chores that were neglected during the work week. When this becomes a cycle for weeks on end, we tend to start dreaming of a rejuvenating vacation with sandy white beaches and a clear blue ocean view.
Vacations are great and important, but we can all benefit from building in vacation-like experiences into our regular life at a weekly or even bi-weekly basis. What that fun will look like varies depending on your particular taste. For me, fun is reading a new spiritual book in a cute cafe with a latte, going to workshops and seminars, exploring markets with friends, going to the movies, hanging out on the west side of LA (I've been loving Venice lately!) and trying new restaurants with friends. Incorporate a sense of adventure into your life to keep your soul happy. If you live near a major city, there are most likely plenty of cool things for you to experience going on.
Get quality sleep
Our lives are more active than ever before and we're more plugged in than ever before. If we aren't frantically running around from work obligations to social obligations, then it at least feels like we are to our overstimulated brains as we're watching TV, listening to podcasts, scrolling through social media, and reading articles and books. If we're not dedicated to giving our minds a break through being present or we're pushing it to its boundary with loads of caffeine, then getting it to turn off for deep rest can be a tough feat.
Sleep is the cornerstone of a healthy life. We all know how sluggish our physical bodies get and how loopy and/or cranky our brains get when we're running on low sleep. Our quality of sleep is directly correlated to our quality of life. We know that we should be getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night but if we can't manage to reach REM levels of sleep, it affects all areas of our lives. Start winding down for the night at least an hour before you intend to close your eyes and set a caffeine curfew if your body is especially sensitive. For tips on how to structure your night routine, take a look at our article on the topic!
Cherish the home that is you with these 5 keys and most of all, practice listening to yourself. Listen to your personal feelings and honor what they tell you. Your mind and body will thank you for tending to its needs and treating it kindly.

The Pipe Organs of St. Patrick's, Glück Orgelbau, Opus 16 and Opus 17:
Through the goodness of our parishioners, two new pipe organs by the Glück Pipe Organ Company were installed in 2014 to replace a smaller Möller pipe organ that was failing mechanically. The grand scaling of the new instruments, featuring two twin consoles of three manuals each and a combined total of 62 pipe ranks (over 3000 pipes), matches well with the cathedral-like size of the St. Patrick's Church. The instruments will continue to serve the community in raising the hearts of the faithful to God, and endow each liturgy with a splendor of beauty fitting for the holy sacrifice they celebrate.
