Cutting loose - coming to terms with your Parents
I specialize in working together with Women on their Goals, Visions and Self-Esteem. To a large degree I do so because I believe that a balanced, fulfilled woman does not only make an amazing difference in her career, but also for her community and her family. Everyone should feel like they can achieve what they set their life out to be. Every woman should feel like she has control over her own progress and even if she sets aside years raising her children, should still have the inner knowledge that there is personal growth and happiness for herself. Once you reach the point where stability comes within, you can provide the feeling of accomplishment to those around you.
On the other hand, if you have difficulties feeling balanced and you try to draw stability from your children, you enter a different kind of parent-child relationship. Howard M. Halpern explains in his book "Cutting Loose", how each of us as parents have 2 drives: we want our children to become strong and independent, and we also want them to be weak and dependent on us. In my experience, the more you focus on balance and personal growth, the more you will want your child to be independent and strong.
Here is a paragraph from the book that explains quickly and simply the difficulties one might experience in having a healthy relationship between parents and children:
"In every parent there is a wish that his or her children grow up to be strong, independent, effective people. And in every parent there is a wish that his or her children remain weak, dependent, ineffectual people. The relative power of these two wishes can vary greatly, but if your parent's wishes that you be dependent and inadequate have been dominant, then you are probably in trouble, because the pressure on you to obey their "Don't grow up" wish may be irresistible.
The parental wish to have his child become strong and independent doesn't need much explaining. That is what parents are for, and throughout the animal kingdom parents train their offspring for autonomous survival and then unceremoniously push them from the nest. Kahlil Gibran talks of his parents being the bow and the child's being the arrow.
The parents wish to have his or her child remain weak and dependent needs a lot more explaining, because it contradicts basic biological reason for parenting. We can understand it more clearly when we realize that the parent's desire to see his offspring grow and be independent comes from the mature parenting part of himself, while the parent's desire to have his offspring remain attached and dependent comes from the little child within."

The rock duo has released two previously unheard tracks through the Vault subscription service of Jack White's label, Third Man Records.The two songs are fuzzy, bluesy takes on vintage tracks: "Signed D.C." comes from '60s psychedelic act Love, while Otis Redding originally performed "I've Been Loving You Too Long." The latter features some especially gnarly riffs from Mr. White. Listen to audio rips of both tracks below. The Third Man Records Vault service offers exclusive access to its members from the label's artists, so perhaps more unreleased Stripes tracks will see the light of day in the future.

we had to rush home tonight to get ready for girls' night.
this is how we roll.
cheerios and sippy cups.
so tonight was girls' night at my house.
we sat around drinking spiked raspberry limeades and ate lots of good stuff like my apple blueberry dump cake.
we did eventually get around to playing pokerkeeno--too bad though...it really cut into my socializing and drinking time.
i think next time we should just skip the po'keeno and bust out the karaoke machine instead!
thanks girls for a great night! y'all are the best! and thanks for smiling for the blog!
one more thank you to john for watching the kiddos. even though we had some drama, you are my most favorite-est hubby in the world.

Hey beauties! I recently stopped at my local drugstore and purchased some makeup that I wanted to test out. I had an itch to try some affordable products so I made a few purchases. I wanted to show you all what I picked up and my thoughts on each item I bought.
The first item I picked up was a concealer. I was going to just pick up my usually FIT me concealer but I knew I wanted to try something new. So, I grabbed Maybelline's Age Rewind concealer and it works well. I'm not the biggest fan of how the product sits on dry skin but if it is used lightly it is a good concealer. I also feel that the sponge on top soaked up a lot of the product and a lot of what was in the component was lost in that sponge. It felt like the FIT me concealer lasts me a couple of months where this concealer lasted me not even one month of use. This concealer costed around $9.
The next item I picked up was the Maybelline eyebrow define full brow pencil. This is a product I've used before but I decided to go for another color. I stopped using this product because I felt that it was a tad bit waxy on my eyebrows after a while of using it. I either got a bad batch or they changed the formula but after buying a basically waste of money product that was too waxy I turned to ABH brow pencil. It was getting expensive as I do my eyebrows everyday and the product was quickly running out. I tried the Maybelline eyebrow define full brow pencil again and I had better luck this time. It isn't too waxy and works as a good ABH eyebrow pencil dupe. This product was around $8.
The next item I got was the ELF Volume Plumping Black Mascara. This mascara was definitely not the best I've ever used as it did run on my makeup after wearing it all day. With that being said I did only spend $2 on it which was a good price for the product. It wasn't flaky but it just ran on my makeup. I also have a 14 hour day that is nonstop. So, it could be possible that it isn't the fault of the mascara but it could have been oily or sweaty skin.
The final product I purchased was the ELF Intense Ink Eyeliner. This eyeliner only cost me about $3 and it works so well. I actually loved using this but it isn't for precise use. If you like a sharp wing you better move on. The chunky nature of the liner and the rougher felt pen makes it near impossible to make a sharp wing. I use this and KVD Tattoo Liner together; one to make the line on the lid and the other to make the wing.

Hey beauties! I'm here with a makeup review and today I'm reviewing the Liquid Frost from Jeffree Star Cosmetics. I literally was quaking when I saw Jeffree Star was coming out with a Liquid Skin Frost so I just had to get it! I needed to write a review on it and show my first impressions because I didn't want to test it before I did a blog review and document my experience.
Of course, as always, I will talk about the packaging of the product. It is in very durable packaging and it is definitely vanity worthy. I like that there is so much product you get in the bottle. I also am in love with how the cap twists and locks so there is no accidental spilling. The top also has a pretty durable button that allows the person to suck up the product with their eyedropper and dispense it.
The unicarton was very cute and of course it was pink. What was really cool about the unicarton was how it seemed almost holographic, which of course I am obsessed with. I got the shade Frostbite because clearly the name is sickening but the shade itself is gorgeous! I was conflicted about which one to get because I wasn't sure what shade would best suit my skin tone. Right now I'm in between foundation shades because I am losing my tan from the summer but I want to make sure that if I go tanning it will still be a good shade for me. I worry only because my skin tone is so warm that any colder toned highlighter makes my skin look very orange.
Luckily Jeffree Star Cosmetics was able to make this beautiful shade that actually makes my skin look gorgeous and glowy. You can even build it up to make it look a lot more blinding but I wanted a more natural look. It also wasn't too glittery or chunky which could be a problem for other Liquid highlighters. It was the perfect amount of shimmer for me and I definitely recommend purchasing!

Hey beauties! I wanted to share a DIY costume and makeup look I did for my fellow blogger AlexaTheGirlGamer. I was very proud of the makeup I did on her and I wanted to share my work. She also was pretty happy because she got a pretty cute Halloween costume out of it.
She wanted to wear a masquerade mask but she couldn't find a mask that fit her personality. So she explained to me what she wanted and I did my best to give her the masquerade mask that she felt incorporated her personality and the colors that she wanted. Those colors were obviously blue and purple which matched the shirt she was wearing.
I used the Laura Lee Party Animal palette as well as the Norvina Palette and the Too Faced Unicorn Palette to create this look. This eye look was mainly inspired by her sweatshirt and slightly by what she explained she was looking for in a mask. I then used eyeliners from Sephora, Julep and Bow N Arrow to make the drawn on masquerade mask.

Hey beauties! I am really excited to share the review of HUDA Beauty's Faux Filter Foundation, I've seen this all over social media and in ads everywhere and I have been anticipating trying it. I ended up getting it in a sample and I decided why not! So I tried on the foundation and kept it on for over twelve hours.
When I saw this little sample packet I honestly thought they did well when it came to packaging–even though it was a sample the packaging of the sample is definitely quality. I tried the lightest shade in the ones we were given which is Macaroon. I applied this foundation using the same techniques I use while I apply my daily makeup.
At first I realized how cakey the foundation which got a little better when I threw on some setting powder and setting spray. Everything had seemed to resolve itself until I was 6-12 hours into wearing the foundation. The foundation had creased in my smile line, completely disappeared around the edges of my nose, sheer on the bridge of my nose and forehead and cracked in the middle of my brows. I was sorely disappointed in this foundation and I am glad I tried the sample before purchasing it because I wouldn't have been happy if I wasted money on it. This may have been because of my skin type or just the way my skin is in general and the way it is textured etc. Just because I say this didn't work for me this doesn't mean that it couldn't work for someone else and if it does than that's great!

Hey beauties! Today, I will be reviewing an Elf product that I recently picked up from Target. It was one of those products that begged to be in my cart. There was no way I could refuse purchasing this especially being in the spirit of buying things I don't need. Isn't that any Target trip though?
First, we are going to discuss packaging as always. I actually love the packaging for this product. The sleekness of the crystal looking tube and even the typography is aesthetically pleasing. I can tell that the better quality packaged products are the more expensive ones. This lip gloss was $8 not including tax.
I got this lip gloss in the shade pink cosmo. I thought the name of this was suitable for the color and flavor of this lip gloss. I am very happy that this lip gloss isn't plain, it has refined glitter in the lip gloss itself that gives it a perfect sheen to it.
This is a before and after picture of no product vs. wearing the Lip Plumping Gloss. In a way I feel that there is a minimal difference in the plumpness of my lips. If anything I feel it filled my lips out a little more but it didn't make them noticeably bigger. I do enjoy this product though as a lip gloss in general. Something I am happy with is that the refined glitter isn't gritty on the lips which tends to be an issue with products like this.
Overall, I like this product and I feel like it made my lips fuller but nothing too noticeable. With that, I recommend this more as a lip gloss than a lip plumper. I hope you enjoyed this post and remember to subscribe for email notifications for when I post new content and comment down below what your thoughts are on the results of this Lip Plumping Gloss.

Hey beauties! I'm super excited to review Makeup Revolution's Reloaded eyeshadow Palette. I recently hauled this in my Ulta Haul post which you can read here: Ulta Beauty Haul. This palette really caught my eye because of the many different shades that were in the palette.
Of course, as per usual, we will discuss the packaging of the product first. Makeup Revolution in general is very affordable and this palette itself only costs $7. With that in mind the brand had to cut corners somewhere to keep products good quality but still at an affordable price point. They clearly cut corners when it came to packaging. It's definitely lower quality packaging, I feel that Elf Cosmetics has better packaging.
Now, as for the quality of the eyeshadows themselves. They aren't the best quality I've ever seen but they definitely aren't the worst. It took a few swipes to get good pigment on a lot of the matte shades. When it comes to applying them with a brush I feel that you have to make sure you are using a dense brush otherwise you aren't going to pick up enough product. It's kind of hard to blend so this isn't a palette for those who are just starting to learn how to do makeup. The one problem I have is that the iridescent white shade barely even shows up which you can see for yourself since it's the first swatch on my arm under the yellow. I would definitely test these eyeshadows out at Ulta before making a purchase!

Hey beauties! I think from now on I am going to try and give you all little breaks in between my haul posts since I do hauls so often. So here I am today with a review of a liquid lipstick I wrote about in a haul post yesterday! You can check out that haul post here: Ulta Beauty Haul #2.
So, if you missed the post yesterday make sure to read up on that because these two posts are directly related with one another. I purchased a liquid lipstick from Ulta in the search for a nice fall shade. I grabbed this lipstick from Dose Of Colors and I was automatically obsessed. It was a nice berry mauve shade which gives me a break from the constant nude shades I usually wear.
Let's talk about packaging, of course we do this first before jumping into the review. I think this packaging is very simple and sleek but it would be the perfect addition to the vanity. It is great quality and it honestly reminds me of Jeffrey Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick packaging! I love the frosted look of the tube and the white chrome duo is gorgeous.
The shade name of this matte liquid lipstick is Warm & Fuzzy. The shade name honestly translates to how this lipstick makes me feel. I love how this shade looks on me and the formula is amazing. The matte finish is perfect and it's tested (by me) to be kiss proof but definitely not food proof so make sure you carry it to re-apply if you are planning to dine-out. It wasn't a streaky lipstick but I did apply two coats and the picture above is the result. This is definitely a brand worth checking out, their products can be found at Ulta on Ultas website or on Dose Of Colors website.

Hey beauties! I'm here to finally review the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina eyeshadow palette. I just got this for my birthday from one of my best friends and I have been super excited to test it out and share my results with you all. From the looks of this palette I actually wasn't sure if it was for me. It just didn't seem like a palette I would use very often but I decided I wanted it just for the sake of collection but I was wrong! I'll discuss why later…
First, let's obviously discuss packaging as always! Since the Norvina palette is the sister palette to Modern Renaissance, Subculture, and Soft Glam it has the same velvet packaging. I am in love with the lavender color of the palette as well. The packaging is made well and it's sturdy like it's sister palettes. If you don't know Claudia Norvina is the daughter of Anastasia Soare who is the original creator and owner of Anastasia Beverly Hills. Her daughter Claudia Norvina is the president of the makeup company and this palette is named after her.
The inside of the palette is the classic sister palettes look as well. I've always loved the look of these palettes. They are simple, sleek yet elegant and look great on any vanity. I love the shade range on the palette as well, it's absolutely gorgeous. But the shade range was a reason I wasn't sure if I wanted the palette in the first place. I didn't know if I would use the shades in the palette… until I swatched it!
After swatching the shades I knew that this palette wasn't something I wanted just for collection. The shades look so amazing swatched and seeing them in the eyeshadow pans does not do these gorgeous shadows justice. They are very pigmented and are soft shadows. My favorite shades are Summer, Wild Child, Rose Gold, Soul, and Love.
I did an eye-look with this palette and I used the shade Base to soften my eyeshadow primer, I then used the shade Incense as a transition shade. Afterwards, I used the cool toned dark brown shade called Volatile in the crease of my eye and I blended it out into a cat eye. I used the shade Summer on my lid and on the inner corners of my eyes. To give the eyes an edgier look I took one of my favorite shades Soul, which is a periwinkle color, and blended it on my lower lash line. I then added some mascara to finish off the look!
I loved this palette and I hope you enjoyed this review post as well as the eyeshadow look I made with it! Please remember to subscribe for email notifications for when I post new content. Comment down below what shades you like the most from this gorgeous ABH palette!

Hey beauties! I am officially on vacation and I couldn't be happier. These next two weeks I will be doing vacation related posts! So this post is going to show you an easy makeup look you can wear when going out on vacation (these makeup products also don't require much space in your carry-on or suitcase)!
I did dewy foundation, I contoured my cheeks lightly with pink blush and applied BECCA Cosmetics highlighter in Opal. My eyebrows are filled in with Estee Lauder's Brow Pencil and combed with MACs Brow Gel. I did my eyeshadow with a mauve pink shadow and smoked my lash line out with the same pink shade I then used Opal on my lid. I threw on Kat Von D liner and lashes. Lastly, I put on Jeffree Star Cosmetics Christmas Cookie Velour Liquid Lipstick.
I hope you enjoyed this post and remember to subscribe for email notifications for when I post new content. Comment down below what your thoughts are on this eye look!

Hey beauties! I'm excited to finally review Urban Decay's newest eyeshadow palette Born To Run. This was featured in my post Shopping Haul because I went to Sephora on my Trip To the mall and purchased this palette. I was ecstatic to review this palette!
Of course, we will discuss the packaging of the palette first. This palette's unicarton is super cute, it has the Urban Decay symbol with pieces of the front of the palette in the letters. It almost looks like the UD is cut out and you are looking at the front of the palette already. Such a cool concept! For the packaging of the actual palette itself, I love that Urban Decay complied a ton of travel photos and made it into a sort of travel mood board. The palette's packaging is also super sturdy because it's made of plastic (not heavy duty cardboard or thin tin like a lot of other palettes).
The palette itself is huge. It's a lot bigger width wise and length wise than I expected. There are 21 shadows in this palette, which is a decent amount of shadows for an eyeshadow palette. The mirror is very large and the palette is luxuriously heavy, these are two things I make sure to note when buying a palette because the price point becomes important if they skip out on the packaging. The color scheme of this palette is very different and definitely gives me the travel feels.
The size of the pan for these eyeshadows are pretty big, they are about the size of my thumb. The only problem I have with the palette is that there are a few shades I personally know I won't typically use.
The eyeshadows have a lot of color pay off. They are not only pigmented but there isn't a lot of fallout either. These eyeshadows blend together seamlessly and there are endless amounts of eye looks you could do with this palette. I love that the palette can be used a lot and also something you can display on your vanity. The shimmer shades are also very creamy.
I did an eye look using this palette i started off with the tan shade Breakaway to soften the eyeshadow primer, I then used the peach shade Still Shot as my transition shade. I then blended Riff into my crease and then blended the shade Good As Gone into my crease and blended it out. After, I took concealer and applied it to the sides of the shadow to make it a more defined shadow line (cut crease look). To top the look of I threw on a winged liner and fake lashes.
I really loved this palette! I hope you enjoyed this post and remember to subscribe for email notifications for when I post new content! Comment below your favorite shade from this palette!

Starting on January 11th, we will begin our preaching and small group series through the book of James. It is a relatively short letter in the New Testament that focuses on teaching believers to live out their faith; we're calling the series, Reflecting Our Faith in Action. As we get close to the start, I wanted to introduce you to the letter and see why it is so beneficial for us to study.
Author and Title of the Letter
As with the other General Epistles (1, 2 Peter; 1, 2, 3, John; Jude), James is titled by the author's name. James addresses the letter with limited detail: "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ" (James 1:1). Most believe James the Just (who was also the brother of Jesus) wrote the letter. The first recorded acknowledgement came by AD 253 by Origen, an early church father and theologian. This James is first identified in Matthew 13:55 as one of Jesus' brothers, along with Joseph, Simon, and Judas. Initially, James didn't believe that Jesus was the Christ (John 7:5), yet he seemingly believed after Jesus appeared to him after the resurrection (1 Cor 15:7). James' presence and leadership in the Jerusalem church throughout Acts, including multiple encounters with Paul regarding Gentile believers and their response to the Law. Jewish historian Josephus records the martyrdom of James the Just; most agree that he died in AD 62.[1]
James' Audience
James seemingly wrote to Jewish Christians ("the twelve tribes in the Dispersion," 1:1) in an effort to encourage them through the trials they have encountered since being scattered throughout Judea and Samaria (cf. Acts 8:1-3). James' tone is uniquely Jewish when compared with other letters in the New Testament, yet it is clearly written to Christians (2:1).
Major Themes of James
Persevering Through Trials
The letter opens with the call to "count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds" (1:2)[2] and closes with an exhortation to persevere and to be prayerful until the coming of the Lord (5:7-20). As stated above, James' audience is clearly enduring persecution and suffering for their faith in Christ. With this as the opening and closing points of the letter, the middle of James is greatly shaped by this theme.
Living Out an Authentic Faith
The most significant theme relates to how one's faith should be lived out. While James does not teach as much on the content of the gospel, he clearly writes with the gospel as the foundation. James 1:19-27 exhorts us to "be doers of the word" and defines a pure religion as one that demonstrates love and holiness. Much of the rest of the letter addresses the various ways believers should live out their faith authentically. He defines an authentic faith as one that:
- Does not show partiality among the saints (2:1-13)
- Is not separated from works demonstrating faith (2:14-26)
- Seeks to tame the tongue (3:1-12)
- Demonstrates wisdom through their living (3:13-18)
- Does not generate strife in the body (4:1-12)
- Rightly recognizes God's sovereignty (4:13-17)
James concludes the letter with a warning against those who fail to live out their faith authentically (5:1-6) before giving a final exhortation of perseverance to the saints (5:7-20).
Caring for the Poor and Oppressed
The situation facing James' audience was seemingly grim and difficult. Having been ostracized from their home city, they were caused to find fellowship among the saints in Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch (Acts 11:19-21). The result was harsh conditions for them that prompted James to write this letter of encouragement whereby the topic of how to treat brothers and sisters faced with such circumstances is raised.[3] James makes multiple references regarding the necessity of caring for the poor for those claiming to have faith in Christ (1:27; 2:15-16). As was learned through studying Amos, God's heart for the lowly is evident throughout Scripture.[4]
Significance For Us
James is a highly practical and applicable book. It has, in fact, the highest percentage of imperatives than any other book in the New Testament.[5] James gives clear instruction for what a life lived out should be. Yet, the temptation is for us to remove such instruction and exhortation from the rootedness in the gospel. It is integral as we begin this study that we understand that for James- and all the biblical authors- the life to which we are called to is impossible without the grace of God. While James does in fact set the bar quite high for what 'pure religion' looks like, none of it is possible were it not for the work of the pure and holy Savior. Without Christ, James knew full well that he and anyone without faith in Christ would remain severed from God. Let us build upon our understanding of the gospel as we learn from James how we can endure our lives in our own period of scatteredness, awaiting the return of Christ and faithfully seeking to live out the faith we've been given.[1] Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 20.9.1 [2] James 1:2-18 speaks significantly to this topic. [3] James 1:2-4, 12; 2:6-7; 5:4-11. [4] For a few examples, read Deuteronomy 14-15; Psalms 9; 72; 145; Isaiah 10:1-3, 41:7-8; Luke 4:18.

It is fair to say that the property sector has taken longer than other asset classes in the adoption of new technology; certainly, when compared to Financial Technology (FinTech) Property (PropTech) was very slow to join the party. Indeed, the property sector has traditionally been slow to change, even before the internet revolution However, there are understandable reasons for this, particularly when pitting the financial and property sectors head-to-head.
Shares, Bonds, Commodities, Cash and Property make up the five asset classes; the first four fall within FinTech whilst PropTech is very much a sector all on its own. Whilst, in the world of finance, stocks, shares and currency are comparatively quick and cheap to trade, property is not. There are many players in the property sector; investors, developers, planners, designers, construction companies, building material manufacturers, sales and letting agents, lawyers… the list goes on.
Not only do each have their own revenue streams to protect, more significantly, their individual roles in the property development process take time. So, due to the diversity of the stakeholders and the complex construction process it starts to become much more clear as to why the property sector has seemingly taken longer to adopt new technology.
It is also worth noting that early technology investors were understandably more attracted to FinTech? With the diverse requirements of stakeholders, lengthy planning and construction timescales and the costs associated with property transactions, it's not hard to see why massive sums were initially invested in the less challenging and faster moving world of finance. However, PropTech is catching up and significant investment is now being ploughed into all manner of PropTech start-ups.
It is very difficult to put a figure on the total investment in PropTech right now, mainly due to the fact that there are so many sectors, many of which arguably overlap with FinTech. Market reports and data specialists, Venture Scanner estimate a combined funding of around $30 billion across 12 categories which were identified as follows: Property Management, Construction Management, Facilities Management, Portfolio Management, Home Services, Commercial Real Estate Search, Long-term Rental/Sale Search, Short-term Rental/Vacation, Life/Home/Property and Casualty Insurance, Real Estate Agent Tools, Indoor Mapping and IoT (Internet of Things).
Whatever the actual figure, it is fair to say that FinTech is now a major sector which is highly attractive to investors, with the availability of seed and development funding we can expect to see a continued growth in FinTech solutions.
With so much going on across the whole of FinTech it is difficult to see if there are gaps, however we at Pixel can see progress in Indoor Mapping, our own area of expertise. Since 1996, we have been developing a range of Selector systems which help developers, housebuilders, digital marketing teams and selling agents promote properties off-plan. We have continued to take advantage of technology to create an altogether more engaging and immersive experience for property buyers; accessibility to WiFi, improved telephony, access to Big Data etc. has helped us to develop technology that matches the modern buyer's expectations. If you can spec your own car online, which many buyers now do, why can't you spec your new home? If you can see the view from your seats when buying tickets for a sporting event, why can't you see the view from the windows of your new home?
The adoption of this technology is being driven by public expectation, however we still see slowness in reacting to this demand from the housing industry, it is the forward thinking developers that are experiencing the big wins – properties are selling quicker and the data gleaned from buyer activity is de-risking future developments. Sales teams are spending less time with buyers post-sale because they've selected their finishes on a screen in the comfort of their own homes.
The internet revolution is strewn with hard luck stories where traditional businesses didn't move with the times; Blockbuster turned down the chance to buy Netfilx for $50 million back in 2000 because they saw it as a "very small niche business", now valued at $100+ billion it adequately demonstrates the perils of ignoring consumer demand.

Haggai/Zechariah/Malachi: Opening The Windows Of Blessing
Haggai/Zechariah/Malachi: Opening The Windows Of Blessing
We so easily lose heart when God doesn't answer us right away. God's people reacted that way as they returned from exile in Babylon. But in the midst of their discouragement, God sent three prophets to remind them that blessing eventually comes from obedience. Renew your confidence in God's promises as you are challenged to deeper levels of obedience.
13-week Study: Haggai-2 weeks; Zechariah-8 weeks; Malachi-3 weeks. Six days of guided lessons, 20 to 30 minutes long, help and teach you how to discover God's precepts, purposes and promises on your own. Questions for group discussion or individual study are provided on Day Seven along with closing commentary.

It's been a while since my last post. Life has gotten in the way, as it often does.
I had the best of intentions of keeping this blog up to date while we were traveling. But we were denied wifi for the majority of our trip. This scarce resource that we were so accustomed to at home made work a priority whenever we could get our hands on it. My thoughts about our travels fell to the wayside. And I regret it.
Luckily I kept a journal and I can still post about our trip. But it's not the same.
But this is for you Milosci. I know how important it is for us to document our time. And I know how much we both wish we were flying overseas soon.
Where did I leave off.......
Oh yes, after two days in Cinque Terre we decided to spend our third day in La Spezia. A town that Rick Steves seems to have written off with the phrase "work a day". But the four of us loved it. It was unfailingly honest and simple. It was real and raw. It's a fishing town and doesn't apologize for it.
We spent the morning planning out our next couple of days, which were going to be quick stints in Milan and Venice and we wanted to make sure our trains were in order. It also gave Tim and Jess time to plan out the rest of their European trip. We then wandered out into La Spezia to explore.
We took photos, sauntered to the water front, ate a ton of foccacia and enjoyed a slower day overall in comparison to the jam packed couple days in Cinque Terre. That night I made pesto gnocchi and we sipped on wine and went to bed early. We were scheduled to be up at 4am for our train to Milan the next morning. I had a Last Supper to see. And there was no way I was going to miss it. But more on that in the next post.

The psychiatric term for it is experiencing intrusive thoughts (or obsessive thinking,) but most of us know it simply as the inability to stop turning something over and over in your mind, to worry at it like a dog even as you desperately try and drive it from your consciousness.
I get it worst when I'm trying and failing to sleep. Sometimes, in those miserable minutes or hours, my chain of thought becomes so involuntary that it almost seems those thought processes have a serpentine life of their own, writhing and turning back in and over each other. Pulling up thought after awful thought until what is happening no longer feels like something I am doing, but something that is done to me.
I think this song ('Serpents' by Sharon van Etten) does a damn good job of conveying what it feels like to unwillingly torture yourself in this way; both in the case where her mind can't stop running through the awful wrongs her partner has committed against her(first and second choruses), or whether its hopelessly looking for rationalizations which will enable her to forgive him for them (third).
Also her short-lived identification with the 'serpents' in the second verse is interesting; intrusive thoughts don't always have to be taken as wholly external to oneself, there are ways of acknowledging them as somehow part of us which don't overlook how unbearable they can often be.
But mostly I just think that the harmonies are stellar.

Warren Buffett Says He Is More Likely to Buy IBM Shares Than Sell
Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, said Monday he would be more likely to buy than to sell IBM shares over the next two years, and that he did not seek to profit from global central bank actions.
Buffett, who presided over Berkshire's 51st annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska over the weekend, told cable television network CNBC: "We would be much more likely to buy more in the next 12 or 24 months than we would be to sell shares, but we will make that call as time goes along."
Buffett, whose Berkshire held an 8.59% stake in IBM as of the end of last year and who has caught some flak for his stake, said his cost basis in IBM was around $170 a share and that he had still never sold a share.
IBM shares were little changed at $146 in early trading on Monday.

Buffett also said he did not seek to profit from global central bank monetary policies, but that low and negative interest rates could produce an unanticipated reaction.
"It's a fascinating movie to watch. I don't try to make money off the movie," Buffett said.
"If currency in a bank is worth less than currency in your hands or in a mattress, that could produce something in the way of behavior that nobody has ever anticipated."
Buffett, whose Berkshire is an American Express shareholder, said the company's loss of its contract with retailer Costco Wholesale Corp was "significant" but he agreed with American Express Chief Executive Kenneth Chenault's decision to split from Costco.
He said American Express would remain "under attack" from alternative payment methods, but he remained confident in his stake.
"Costco was a very, very, very valuable co brand to have for American Express, but that value wasn't limitless," he said.

Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger told CNBC, however, that he would have made the opposite decision with regard to American Express's contract with Costco.
Buffett also criticized companies that repurchase their own shares at too high a price: "They have in mind a limit as to what they pay for any business they buy except their own, and it has become fashionable to repurchase shares."
Buffett, who has ordered that most of the money he is not giving away at his death should be placed in an index fund, also said active investing as a whole was "certain" to produce worse than average results.

Choosing an implant dentist!
A question that is a constant problem for my potential patients, is" how do I choose an Implantologist?" I have been asked this many, many times, and it is almost an impossible question to answer. Whilst the General Dental Council keeps a list of specialities, there is no official speciality in Implantology, despite the fact that it is desperately needed so that the general public can make an informed choice of implant dentist.
When I was president of the Association of Dental Implantologists UK, we had many meetings with all interested parties involved in Implantology to try and gain consensus on having a speciality in Implantology, unfortunately, many specialities within dentistry, would like to have implants under their umbrella, from oral surgery, through periodontology to restorative specialities. Sadly, no consensus could be achieved at the time, so to go back to my earlier statement, it is extremely hard for the general public to ascertain who is well qualified to place implants for them, and who is not.
I would however like to offer some help; when I started doing implants in the mid-80s, there was no qualifications whatsoever in implant dentistry as it was a relatively young speciality in the UK, that is not the case now, there are MSc's, certificates and all manner of courses that can be completed, including one by the Royal College of Surgeons in London. While these are useful measures of an individual's ability to pass an academic exam, Implantology is a practical sport, so the most important qualification is experience. As with all techniques, the more you do it the better you get, and to have a good grasp of implants, you need to be placing in the region of a hundred implants a year, in order to increase your ability. Those individuals that only place 6 to 10 year are the people to avoid, they tend not to have enough time carrying out the surgery to become better, but their toe in the water keeps them thinking that they can. Clearly, those that are training will be in that situation, but generally, they work under the tutelage of a mentor who is highly qualified, you can aid them with their treatment planning, and carrying out the appropriate treatment.
The other thing that you need to look for when choosing an implant surgeon, is what type of implant they use; there are many, many different implant systems available in the market, some very good, and some not so good. From the patient's perspective, they automatically think that whatever the dentist is using must be the best, that is not always true.
One should always look for a premium brand of implant, that has a good research background and is supported by a large and competent company, so the chance of them being around in 10 years should you require any replacement parts is high. So in conclusion, it is very difficult for the average man in the street to recognise a high quality Implantologist from the crowd, as everyone seems to claim they can do implants these days.
These are the Exeter Dental Centre top tips: –
- Look for experience in your surgeon, ask about the numbers he's done and his success rate
- Check he's using a premium brand implant that ensures you have good backup
- Ask about their sterilisation techniques, they should be beyond reproach
- Ensure that before you proceed you obtain a written estimate of the cost
- Talk to some other clients that have had similar work completed by the same clinician, preferably several as they wore all have different experiences
Good luck with finding a great Implantologist, they are out there, but they are not as numerous as you would think, don't forget, always ask other people their opinions.

The food system is broken. Factory farming and monocultures are rapidly degrading the environment and depleting our resources. Within the good food movement, there is widespread consensus about this. Where the real debate lies is in how we should fix it. Is more technology the answer to food sustainability or the problem? Will lab-grown meat and engineered faux meat lead the way to a carbon-neutral future or will the solution come from the plant-based movement? Quite possibly the answer will incorporate innovations from both technological advancement and culinary/agricultural tradition.
Regardless of which gains favor, our food system is in dire need of a course correction away from decades of heavily processed foods, genetic modification of seeds, and the overuse of fertilizers, sprays, packaging, and shelf-stability at the expense of nutrition, taste and sustainability. We are in the midst of a revolution toward the radical rediscovery of nature's resiliency that stems from healthy soil, biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, culinary traditions, and social engagement in food experiences. The good food and impact investing communities need to maintain focus on how to re-connect consumers to nutritious food while developing a sustainable and equitable food space. This is an opportunity to adopt a multifaceted approach.
With all this in mind, FoodFutureCo continues to seek out innovative scale-up enterprises that embrace transparent sourcing and natural ingredients spiced up by culinary traditions. Our Cohort III companies embody this mission. This month, as we celebrate the graduation of Jewels of the Forest, Metabrew and Zoni Foods from our accelerator program, we asked our founders what social impact and culinary tradition mean to their work.
Shroom Snacks - Hunter Bryson & Wyatt Bryson
When did social impact become a part of your mission/work?
Social impact has been an integral part of our work even before the formation of Jewels of the Forest. We see mushrooms as not only healers for our bodies but also for the planet. Mushrooms have huge health benefits for everyone. They are a keystone species in any regenerative ecosystem. They are the soil builders, cleaners, decomposers. Our mushrooms are commercial grown on agricultural waste such as corn stalks, corn cobs, straws, and hulls. The mushrooms are harvested for food and the spent mushroom blocks are then used to make compost and soils. It's a win-win for all involved and helps close the permaculture circle. When you eat our mushroom jerky you can feel good knowing you are eating something healthy while also supporting one of the most sustainable crops on the planet. That is why our motto is "Feeding the world one mushroom at a time"
What are your thoughts on food in the plant-based alternative space that is enhanced by more engineered vs. natural ingredients inspired by culinary traditions?
At Jewels of the Forest, we feel we have found the perfect balance of culinary tradition and modern food science. Mushrooms have cultural roots across the globe dating back centuries. Our jerky itself was developed from traditional ingredients and flavor profiles found in Thailand. Meanwhile, mushrooms grown commercially have their origins from mycelium cultures and mushroom spawn grown under strict sterile conditions. So initially it is a highly technical process.
We think that the pendulum swings both ways but always rests in the middle. Food science and food engineering are so new and a huge emerging trend, it will be interesting to see how far it swings. Traditional is tried and true and still around for a reason, because it works. For our product we walk the center path drawing from heritage recipes and advances in food science. Best of both worlds.
What makes mushrooms such an exciting opportunity for the regenerative agriculture movement?
Mushrooms have been known as an excellent meat substitute for many years thanks to its umami flavor and meaty texture. Mushrooms are hailed as one of the most sustainable crops on the planet, only requiring 1.8 gallons of water to produce 1 pound. When compared to beef at 1850 or more gallons to produce 1 pound, its a no brainer. Jerky itself is a huge growing market, while plant-based jerkies are growing 7 times their meat counterpart.
Do you think by doing good you're more successful?
We truly believe that with the right intent of doing good for our community and our planet we will have longer lasting and more fulfilling success. Success for us is more than building a profitable company. It is knowing that we are helping to build a better world through our products. The smiles on peoples faces when they try our jerky is worth its weight in gold. That's the kind of success we strive for. We deal in smiles and full bellies.
Metabrew - Natalie Neumann & Romy Raad
How would you define your mission and goals? Is there a social or environmental benefit?
Our mission is to create energizing drinks that are purpose driven, nourishing, accessible and delicious. Our vision is to empower people to make better choices and become their own heroes by providing them with a new and innovative energy experience.
We are providing REAL FOOD - to make you feel better and lead a better life. Our mission is reflected directly by what is inside our bottles. We empower people by providing them with only the best ingredients, because we know that they will not only taste best, but also that better ingredients ultimately make you feel better and improve your health.
We aim to make the U.S. beverage industry healthier and more sustainable. We have sustainability and environmental consciousness wired into our personal as well as our business DNA and believe that by offering an alternative to the consumer, we can change the current standards for the better.
How has the local community and ecosystem influenced your mission and/or how you run your company?
Moving to NYC was the main reason behind starting Metabrew. We were faced with the struggles that come with living in a high pace environment as well as the negative consequences that the current food industry standards have on your health.
On the other hand, NYC is home to inspiring people and entrepreneurs with new and innovative products. And along with them comes an array of amazing resources and networks. This really inspired us and helped get our company off the ground.
Furthermore, it is essential for us to only use top-quality ingredients that have been produced in an ethical and humane way, without pesticides or harmful farming techniques. What this means for us is forming personal relationships with suppliers, and scrutinizing their farming practices.
We try to have all our suppliers as close to our Long Island manufacturing facility as possible. For instance, we developed a close relationship to our coffee bean supplier. He visits the farms in Nicaragua multiple times per year to ensure fair standards and overall quality and roasts the beans, just for us in Brooklyn, a few days prior to production.
What is the greatest lesson you've learned, so far, as social entrepreneurs?
"Stay true to your values." Developing a food business is hard, especially if you are trying to go against current industry standards. The temptations of taking the easy way - like adding sugar, preservatives or emulsifiers to cut costs, simplify logistics or extend shelf life - are always present. And being questioned by investors to why we don't just give in doesn't make it any easier. However, we truly believe in our mission and values and hearing our customers praise what we do and seeing how it helps them become better versions of themselves is the validation we need to keep going.
What are your thoughts on food in the plant-based alternative space that is enhanced by more engineered vs. natural ingredients inspired by culinary traditions?
In our eyes, food should be simple - you should be able to tell what it is and where it comes from in nature. We grew up in countries (Germany and Lebanon) where food is heavily rooted in the culture, where eating what's in season and what the local farmers markets have to offer isn't a new trend. Therefore, we are advocates of real food that fits your body's and the planet's needs.
Consuming heavily engineered foods - no matter if plant-based or not - is not something we agree with. The goal shouldn't be to copy meat as closely as possible. The goal should be to celebrate and optimize what nature has to offer. There are amazing sources of alternative proteins like mushrooms or even crickets that can be produced in an environmentally conscious way to feed the world. In other words, eat more (real) food.
Zoni Foods - Zoë Lloyd
Why is social and environmental impact so important to you?
I attribute my environmental stewardship to my mother, who cared immensely about wildlife, the oceans, and the land. I am proud to do what I can to use business as a tool for environmental and social good.
What does success for Zoni look like to you?
We define success as getting our products in front to the majority of Americans (no matter what channel)- helping them eat more healthy, plant-based food everyday.
What are your thoughts on food in the plant-based alternative space that is enhanced by more engineered vs. natural ingredients inspired by culinary traditions?
At Zoni Foods, we believe food from the earth can heal us and make us feel good. We also believe that the way our food is grown and processed can significantly impact our health. These are the reasons why we source real, whole ingredients to make our meals and never source any processed or human-engineered food. We do our best to source ingredients that are grown organically and locally as we believe transparency in where we source our food and how it is grown is key to building a more just food system. In order to decrease consumption of meat and dairy products, I think many Americans want easy substitutes, like the Impossible Burger, which help them transition to a more plant-based diet. I applaud these efforts as they are helping to reduce the deleterious impacts of animal production and helping feed more people with fewer resources, but this approach is not in line with our values at Zoni.
What does social impact mean to you as the founder of Zoni Foods?
I believe social impact means the positive, measurable effects an organization may have on humans or society more broadly in a way that is aligned with the organization's' values and mission. I believe social impact isn't the consequence of a one-off event or project - it is an enduring, longer-lasting impact that sprouts from the DNA of the organization.
