I'll be mailing the Sweetheart Valentine Giveaway gifts today and making a
quick trip to Sandy's Quilt Shop to sew a label onto Flo's finished Birthday quilt.
It was a bittersweet weekend. I had so many wonderful blessings to celebrate,
but I have a little matter that I feel I need to atone for with my Coffee Club friends,
too. The details aren't important, but the fact that I'm the kind of person who admits
when I think I've made a mistake and then finds a way to make up for what it is
I'm focused on. I owe them better than I gave last Saturday. Thing is, they're such
dear friends, that they'll tell me, "It's no big deal.", but it is a big deal to me.
Today, I'll begin to try to make it up to them, and I've made a resolution to
myself to be more attentive and worthy of their great, good friendship.
I'll spend the rest of my day in the studio when I get back from Harbour Heights.
I'll share a bunch of pictures on Wednesday. (Tomorrow is Tag's day, after all.)

Frenchman, Paul Le Guen has been named as the new Super Eagles head coach.
ThebTechnical and Development Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, announced this on Monday, saying the appointment was subject to agreement on personal terms.
A member of the technical committee, Paul Bassey, addressing newsmen, said Le Guen is to be assisted by Salisu Yusuf and Imama Amapakabo.
Alloy Agu is the goalkeeper's trainer.
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has said NFF was focused on seeing the country qualifies for the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Pinnick said the decision to hire a foreign coach was taken after the failure of the national to qualify for the 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
He further revealed that already his board has secured a partnership that will pay the salaries of five coaches a development that he added promises a brighter future for the national team.
"We want to avoid as much as possible the perceived mistakes that made us to miss out of the AFCON 2017. To ensure that we brought the best coach that can qualify us for the World Cup, the first thing we did was to ensure we got a partner that will pay the fees of all the coaches. We sent a request of about five coaches and that was granted and the company requested we should keep every other thing under wraps for now.
"After the last AFCON ouster, we started thinking of Russia ad we are making efforts to pay all the coaches so that they will give their best at all times. Truly we are very desirous of qualifying for the 2018 world cup", he said.

This Mom-I-Am was surprised to see that my son, Formerly-Known-As-the-World's-Pickiest-Eater, had added to the grocery list:
Ew, gross! I gave him some money when he drove me to the train station, and told him to go to the store himself as hummus is way too scary for me.
"What do you mean by too esoteric, Mom?"
"Not esoteric! Just plain scary."
"Scary? Have you ever tried hummus, Mom?"
"I could not, would not in a box. I will not, will not with a fox, and I won't even get into how I feel about feta."
"Mom, hummus is just a dip. I bet if you tried it you would like it."
"I will not, will not with a goat. It's sheep guts run over by a Hummer."
"No, Mom, that's haggis, a Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings, and boiled in the stomach of the animal."
"I don't care. I will not try it anywhere. Hummus isn't even in my dictionary."
"But, Mom, it's so good you see! It's hummus
1955, from Turk. humus 'mashed chick peas.'"
"Son, if you won't let me be, I'll take away your Buick key."

In April 2015, the Quaker United Nations Group and the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict released a report titled How Civil Society Engagement can help the UN Peacebuilding's Architecture Meet its Purpose. In addition to reviewing the UN's Peacebuilding Architecture (PBA), the report explains how civil society is a vital link to the UN peacebuilding efforts as it helps the UN better understand the people and communities they serve.
The report suggests that although the initial resolutions of the PBA acknowledge the importance of civil society engagement, these resolutions and guidelines have not resulted in regular and effective engagement with civil society. Through community voices and local interviews, the report examines the current state of civil society relations with the UN PBA. It concludes that better consulting mechanisms with local civil society organizations (CSOs) could lead to deeper insight of local communities and networks in order to successfully fulfill PBA's mandate. These nongovernmental organizations could also help execute, supervise and examine the projects funded by the Peacebuilding Fund.
The report highlights several recommendations regarding transparency, strategic partnerships, convening power, and mutual accountability. The study suggests that the UN Peace Building Commission, an inter-governmental advisory board that works under the PBA, should set clear guidelines and processes in order to explain their activities and set national peacebuilding priorities. The recommendation includes:
publicly disclosing the Chairs of Country Specific Configurations
providing early meeting materials to relevant NGOS, which would encourage a greater commitment from the CSOs and an understanding of the PBC's mission.
using its power to join various stakeholders and establish an environment for dialogue. This dialogue could identify key drivers of violence and bring attention to countries that are at the risk of resorting back to violence.
Finally, the report emphasizes that the UN should create a role for CSOs and local communities to ensure that both the national governments and the UN carry out their peacebuilding responsibilities. The PBA can establish accountability by requiring UN agencies, upon receipt of financial resources, to consult with CSOs while building project proposals.
The report notes that although these recommendations specifically refer to the review of the PBA, it is likely that tackling these issues will continue to be a challenge to the UN Peacebuilding Commission, and UN in general, despite the current analysis from the 2015 PBA review.

Making Sense of Leadership
The Economist's The World in 2010 is out. I spent time reading it over the Thanksgiving holiday. The articles range from President Obama to Chinese workers to the FIFA World Cup to the swine-flu to museums to Shakira to the crisis in human genetics to e-readers. It has something for everyone. There were many insightful ideas but the one that I particularly liked was by the fairly new CEO of Yahoo! Carol Bartz. Her topic was Leadership in the Information Age which she knows a lot about as the head of one of the world's largest information resources.
When it comes to CEOs, Bartz mentioned how unsettling it can be to learn how new employees know everything about you on their first day. They have scoured the Internet, read your speeches, seen your interviews and picked up all the gossip they will ever need to have a good conversation about your reputation in the cafeteria or online. She writes, "At some companies, insider information can barely be said to exist."
She also says, and I totally agree, that one remark that is out of context or a slight misstatement can be debilitating to new CEOs. Reputations can be damaged over less than Twitter's 140 characters. Old CEOs as well. Bartz writes: "Public companies in particular are so besieged by 24-hour commentary and instant opinion that many managers find themselves paralyzed." After the long holiday weekend with Tiger Woods in the news 24/7 for his early morning car accident, I have to say that the commentariat have been very busy. But back to Bartz. She discusses in the article how hard it is to lead when everyone is second-guessing you and the competition is helping to feed the frenzy on how unfit leadership is. It is a high stakes game today.
How are leaders expected to lead when they are on stage for everyone to throw tomatoes or applaud madly? Bartz suggests that the old model of command and control is obsolete. Leaders have to change direction and be able to explain this new world order to those around them. To make that happen, she suggests listening carefully to employees. Leading from the bottom up. Second, she recommends finding the thought leaders within your organization. Why? Bartz says: "But equally pressing is finding those employees who, though perhaps not the best managers, have the ability to digest and interpret information for others. Grooming these in-house ideas people helps foster a culture of openness to fresh thinking—the greatest energy an organization can have." Leaders need to lead by ideas, not by force of power. Products and services alone are not enough.
The CEOs of the next decade will need to take information from wherever they may find them. Inside. Outside. Inside out. One thing is for sure. They won't find what they need to compete successfully at HQ. They need to be outside their corner offices and starting conversations with all types of people. As I see it, leadership will be all about making sense of this brave new world. Let's call it sense-making leadership for 2010. That's what will make CEO reputations worthy this time around.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI PD 140 2006 Road Test
Traders used to say that that the only good Jetta was a sold Jetta. That made them cheap, and I have the dubious distinction of not only having owned two Atlas Grey Jettas, but of having owned them both at the same time.
One was a 'GT', described by 'Car' magazine as "a Golf GTI with a rucksack". We seemed to have it forever. Eventually I advertised it on my website for £150 or "free to a man of the cloth", and it reverently soldiered on in the hands of a West Country vicar.
My other Jetta was a 16v, which, in Autocar's capable hands, had actually proved to be slightly faster than the Golf 16v hatchback. 0 – 60 was just over 7 seconds, in second gear. Those old Jettas were quite raw cars. They just looked so dull that no one in a policeman's uniform ever even noticed their existence. I remember tagging a BMW 535i across Oxfordshire at 120mph. In fairness I'd better point out that the BMW was slightly handicapped by a stepladder on its roof rack. The case would never have got to court anyway because no one would have believed it. An invisible Volkswagen and a 120mph window cleaner.
Now Jeremy Clarkson has given the new Jetta his kiss of death in The Sunday Times. He could not find a single feature to redeem it, likening the prospect of a forthcoming return journey to "spending an hour in a coma". To the great man's credit he desisted from ever mentioning the name of the new Jetta's predecessor.
Actually, the Americans for whom the Jetta is built, never got a Bora. Or even a Vento. To them the new Jetta is simply the fifth incarnation of VW's Golf with a trunk, now built for them and everyone else who wants one in Mexico. JC questioned why anyone would ever want a Jetta rather than a Golf or a Passat. The answer is why Jettas, Ventos and Boras have always sold well in Europe. You can fit an LPG or CNG tank in the trunk while still leaving plenty of room for luggage.
As with Jettas of the past it's so cavernous you can get your voice to echo in there. It takes 529 litres, which is the equivalent of the contents of 705 bottles of wine. It's 29 litres more capacious than the old shape Mercedes S Class, and 44 litres bigger than the current VW Passat. Golfers can lay their clubs length-ways and get their trolleys in too. On top of that, the rear seat backrests not only fold down 60/40 but also are key-lockable. (Not much point in a car with a boot if the boot cannot be made secure.)
Luckily I didn't get the same car as JC. Instead of a 150PS petrol engine and a Tiptronic autobox, mine came with VAG's 140PS TDI and six-speed manual. It arrived in the middle of a snowstorm, happily on 'comfort' tyres (Michelin Energy 205/55 R16s).
Once I got the seat sorted the car felt as familiar as a pair of old boat shoes. With the weather forecaster promising white-out I thought I better get the snaps done as soon as possible so took it a favourite horizon. On the way I found out it's geared about the same as my long-term 307 and C-Max but the PD injectors allow a lot more flexibility. You can get right down to 40mph in 6th at just over 1,000rpm and still pull away cleanly, whereas the 307 and C-Max aren't very happy below 55mph in 6th. And it had none of the all-or-nothing turbo surge I have sometimes experienced from VAG's 2.0 litre PD 140.
Big C does have a point about the doom and gloom dashboard. It's so unrelentingly black you feel like you're driving a coal face. Not as bad as Jettas used to be, though. One of mine even had a black headlining. On the other hand, the central console has so many places to put things even a pickpocket would be pushed to fill it up with the day's takings. Oddly, it also has a pair of handles. Not quite sure what they're for.
VW seems to insist on side-bolstered seats these days that serve little purpose other than to wear out and make it hard to get into the car. However, the rear seat will take three 5' 9" adults as long as they haven't been eating too many pizzas. And unlike the Lexus IS250, piggy in the middle does not have to sit with his head directly under the interior light.
Steering is very light on those Michelin Energy 205/55 R16s. Handling is okay but this is not a car that encourages you to hustle it. At normal cruising speeds it's quiet and doesn't chuck muck all over its backside like a Golf does. And it must be more aerodynamic than a Golf because I found it extremely easy to average over 50mpg, which is a lot better than the EC combined figure.
That means drivers with more time on their hands should regularly get a real world 55mpg plus. Making the Jetta 2.0 TDI probably the most economical 2.0 litre diesel you can buy.
As well as the one with the biggest boot.

Note: December 21, 2012 was the final day in one of the Long Counts in the Mayan Calendar. There were rumors that the end of that long count would also be the "end of the world". Within the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path, this date represents the opportunity to enter a new world: the human world. This is the third in a series, written by Janneke Koole, on the opening of the gates to the human world. In Part 3, we look at the Southeast and South directions in the prophecy.
The Orange Horse has always held the belief systems of the people concerning peace and all academic pursuits. We now know that external peace is only possible when we have internal peace, when inside ourselves we stop the war between our inner man/woman, when silence the inner dialogue enough to be receptive to truth.
The dark force feeds on all forms of ignorance. And when the people are fed only partial truths, when schools promote mediocrity and squelch free-thinking and true problem-solving, when our leaders and the media models spin-doctoring and double-speaks, then the children are in danger! And the children are the next generation, the future care-takers of Grandmother Earth and her Children.
What can we do to make a difference? Clear our wombs of all forms of pity and dedicate ourselves to develop benevolent compassion. Prepare powerful space of learning and growing for the children. Develop wombs that will welcome new spirits, dharma spirits. Train boys to become men who will seed their dreams of peace with freedom! Learn all about the teachings of the She Thoughts and the Quodoushka and anything that inspires you to express your individuality, your way with power and in beauty.
This is the place of the family, Earth Mother, and all the Earth Changes carried by the Red Horse. Grandmother Earth is and will always balance and re-balance herself. She is not in danger – we are! And yes, the earth is changing and we need to find new forms that promote deeper understanding of the Ecological Balance Laws. Study Nature – She knows what She is doing!!
What can we do to make a difference? We can do ceremony – especially at the times Grandmother Earth's natural cycles (the seasons) and the Sister Moon (new moon and full moon). Make sure your homes are domed. Examine your lifestyle and restore greater value in your everyday environment. Encourage and support the Rites of Passage and honor all parents in their daily challenge to create family. Practice honesty and integrity in all your actions.
In Part 4, we look at the Southwest and Northwest directions of the prophecies. Click here for Part 4.
See Part 1 for background and overview

5 Most Visited Countries In Asia
A lot of people from all over the world are coming to Asia. It is because Asia has two of the most world's visited countries. Bangkok is the worlds most visited is another stunning factor. Below a list of the most five preferred Asian countries that have witnessed a large number of international travelers who opt to visit due to some specific attractions from each city.
It experiences an approximate of 57,600,000 tourists a year. It has started opening up to international visitors recently. But it is experiencing a large number of people from all over the world at its shores of hordes that is Beijing, Great wall and Shangai not forgetting the Terracotta Army that was the only tip of the iceberg. Its age-old History of the ancient culture, as well as traditions, are the magnet for those foreigners who are looking for an exotic experience of the east.
The sights of this country are without a shadow of a doubt the majority of reasons why the number of tourists visiting China annually is so high. The Great Wall Of China is a spectacular sightseeing destination that many tourists visit the country just for that. It helps that China is the largest country in Asia as well.
It witnesses an approximate of 24,800,00 tourists annually. It offers some beach destinations that are the best like Tioman, Sipadan, and Langkawi. If you add the world-class shopping which is situated in Kuala Lumpur, you will realize that it is nearly 25 million visitors yearly which is a good number indeed.
It's no surprise that Malaysia is the second highest visited country in Asia. It's insanely beautiful and very much appreciated by all the tourists around the world. The country is spectacular in every single way imaginable, especially the city of Kuala Lumpur.
Hong Kong
It witnesses an approximate of 22,400,000 tourists every year. It is nearly at the top of the list because of a technicality that comes from the mainland China; the day trippers hop across to go for shopping at the glitzy malls that are available here because Hong Kong has a status of having a free port. There is also a unique Hong Kong massage that offers enough pleasure to the visitors any time they feel like.. Even if you exclude this horde you are likely to have 9 million tourists that are genuine.
Hong Kong is a unique place on this list because it is exquisitely smaller than all the other entries. It's a city that is extremely popular in the tourist world because of how special and vibrant it truly is.
Compared to other countries it is incredibly small, but in Hong Kong, you can find absolutely everything you need and more, that's why this city is beyond popular.
Approximately 7,700,000 tourists a year. Bali is a large and popular island becomes the most prominent attraction site in the area Individuals from across the world come here due to the long stretches of decadent beaches as well as the resorts that are famous for their hospitality and the Hindu temples that are beautiful.
Another tourist magnet is Jarkata which is the capital city. A travel guide will take you to many islands that are famous for water sports and the activities of under water.
Approximately 6,200,000 tourists a year. Surprisingly, Though it number five in the countdown. Tokyo is a city that is world class, and Jam enjoys a whole a lot of historical and cultural jewels which will probe one to go for a travel guide to go through before going to the field.
It has one of the biggest and busiest airports that can be explained by a sheer number of visitors who use it as a transit point when flying across the whole world. Another good explanation is that Japan is an island hence making in remote and also only approachable using air.
People who visit Japan are mostly interested in the history of the country, all the ancient temples and samurai memorabilia. It is extremely popular in foreign tourist demands so they try to go on tours that are specifically according to their needs.

Two Rocks
October 17, 2009Posted by on
We had a couple of hours to kill so we decided to leave Perth and head North to see what we could find. We tried to keep to the coast which wasn't easy as signage is not good.
What struck me was the new houses and subdivisions. We drove for about an hour and all we saw were new houses. We even went through subdivisions that are built and don't have anyone living in them yet. What an eerie feeling! It is like driving through a ghost town, but new.
Another thing that we noticed was the amount of boats and boat ramps. Every town no matter how small it was had boat ramps. There would be a line anywhere from 4-10 of them in a row. Fancy boat ramps. And, boat storage places. There were boats everywhere. The waters don't look that calm, but they must be because the boats really ranged in size from small runabouts to beautiful large yachts.
We ended up in Two Rocks situated about 45 minutes from Perth, aptly named for the two rocks sticking out of the water near the marina. Another boating community, fishing not pleasure. All of the fish boats are dry docked so it must get rough in these parts. It looks like it does. The coastline is beautiful and the sand is white, very white!
Two Rocks has a large statue which is not unusual for Australia. They seem to like to build large statues of the weirdest things. My first impression of this statue was Good King Wenceslas, but it wasn't. It turned out to be King Neptune! It is the remnants of a marine theme park that went out of business. Two Rocks then went back to being a small fishing village.
Two Rocks is as far as we went. It was time to head back to Perth. We found a nice little marina pub and had something to eat. Not hard to find marina's either as there are many. I tell you, I thought I was from a boating community, but I have never seen so many boats, marina's and launches as I did North of Perth
Unfortunately, it was time to turn back. I would have like to have seen more of the North Coast. Beautiful!

CHICO — When people ask Lauren Wimer what happened to her arm, she just tells them. "I was born this way," she says.
Whether she's waiting tables, taking university science classes or dancing ballet, "It's not an issue," she says.
Wimer's left arm stops below her elbow; she has no left hand. But she has spent her young life not letting that get in her way.
Wimer, 23, graduated from Chico State University last December with two majors: cellular and molecular biology, and microbiology.
She has been working as a server at La Hacienda restaurant since March. Her last day is Aug. 18, because she's moving back to the Bay Area to begin a master's program in biology at Dominican University of California in San Rafael.
Her goal is to become a scientist. "I want to study diseases, the problems with diseases, so they don't spread," she said.
Wimer has studied her own condition of having one arm. "It's a birth defect, just the luck of the draw. I happens mostly to girls — but only one in 600,000, and the arm usually ends 2 to 3 inches below the elbow," she said.
"I lead with my left foot, that means I always start with my left foot forward. I might have been left-handed," she said.
When Carolyn Haft and her husband stopped by La Hacienda for dinner recently, Wimer was their server, and they had a friendly conversation.
"It wasn't until later we noticed she has only one arm. She is a great waitress," said Haft.
They asked her about it and Wimer was happy to share. "She was really quite inspirational, very goal-oriented. She doesn't see herself as disabled," said Haft.
Because Wimer has her left upper arm and elbow, she can use it to help balance trays and deliver plates to diners.
Wimer moves seamlessly when one of her orders is ready. First, she brings out the "jack," or collapsible stand. Then she brings out the tray with food and puts it on the jack. "That's usually done with one trip, but I make two trips," she said. Then she serves.
Michelle Sereda is one of the owners of La Hacienda. "Lauren is very confident and an awesome employee," she said, adding she quickly moved up from host to server. "Overall she's a hard worker and always willing to do more."
Wimer likes being a waitress — just like she enjoyed working as a phlebotomist at Chico State's Student Health Center when she was a student.
There have been challenges. "I was really bitter when I was a teenager. I was never bullied, but you know teenagers — you're upset if your hair isn't perfect."
Getting her driver's license was a challenge, but she finally did and bought a car with a stick shift. "My grandpa was terrified for me," she remembers. "But I'm still driving that car, five or six years later."
She has tried a lot of different things, including playing sports like basketball, golf, soccer and volleyball and she especially likes ballet. "People see limitations. I don't. I just have to practice everything," she said.
People's reactions are interesting, she said. "A lot of people notice. Some just stare, they give me a cold look. Others are super sweet. And kids are awesome about it, they are just so honest. I have a 6-year-old sister who asks me if I'll grow a hand someday. That's pretty cute."
She said she has a friend who had a leg amputated, and was glad to be there for her. "She had a hard time with that. I was able to say, 'I'm here to tell you — you can do this.'"
Wimer grew up in Crockett in the Bay Area. "My mom and dad took me to Shriners' (Children's Hospital). They helped me with a prosthetic there. I got my first one when I was about 2, but you outgrow them so I had to keep getting new ones. The old ones have a silicon sleeve and they're very heavy and hot. Now I'm waiting for one made by a 3D printer. It will be lighter and have better fingers, too. I should get it in about a year."
While Wimer is looking forward to getting her master's and living in the Bay Area again, leaving Chico is bittersweet. "I have a huge family down there. But I will miss my friends here."

No Shave November
I don't know the history, but some men have begun taking on November as a month to grow facial hair. There are various plans at this point. Some call it "Novembeard." Some grow just a mustache and call it "Movember." I stuck with the term "No Shave November" although what I technically did was probably more akin to "Novembeard." Oftentimes, men use this as a means to heighten awareness about various things. I did not. I just did it say that I could.
Growing it out is one thing, but the real fun comes with shaving it off. Here's the progression:
Full Beard
Riker Cut
Goatee with Sideburns
The "Lawrence"
The "Magnum"
All Gone

This week's quote comes from George Orwell, author of Animal Farm, and is a list of rules Orwell gave for writing. I thought all of his advice was really good, especially the second one. I tend to add extra words to sentences like "that" that aren't needed. My writing always flows so much better when those extra words are gone!
"Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous." – George Orwell

I am always surprised at how folklore advice can become so commonplace that we can all become guilty of accepting things as fact without ever really questioning the true validity of the shared declaration. Instead, we often just accept and adopt the new information as fact and share it forward.
In bygone days there were "wives-tales" like, "Don't go swimming for at least an hour after eating or you'll drown"…, or present day fables like, "dark roast coffee has more caffeine than medium roast", or "women are the weaker sex", (haha, just had to throw that one in).
Another area where I am always amazed at fables gone fact, is in the area of interior design and more specifically – in interior paint color selection.
If I had a nickel for every time I have heard; "light colors make a room seem bigger", I would have a really, REALLY huge pile of nickels.
In my career and experience as both an interior designer and 3 dimensional artist, I have found this statement so misleading as to be more false than true. While it is true that light colors play a role, light colors, in and of themselves do NOT necessarily make a room feel larger. Actually, well placed color within a room can make it seem larger than a room that is finished in a single pale or bright shade.
Clearly we can all agree that as a rule, light colors "bounce" or reflect more light than do dark tones, so obviously a room painted in all light tones will seem brighter than a room painted darker. This is a byproduct of the fact that we humans have relatively few rods in our eyes (around 120 million). Rods are light receptor cells located in the back of our eye and are responsible for collecting light, hence it is this mechanism that decides how well, or how poorly we can see in dim or dark conditions. By comparison, our feline friends have six to eight time MORE rods than we do. This suits them well for nighttime "mousing". Personally, I am fine with this as I much prefer to spend my evening sipping a glass of wine or cognac by candlelight than chasing mice.
But, back to the matter at hand. Rooms painted in lighter tones. Simplistically speaking we might assume that a room painted in lighter tones will always seem larger than a room painted in darker tones. However, that assumption has flaws. The first is that "illuminance" is not the only factor our brains contemplate when interpreting 3-dimensional spaces.
The level of "light" is considered and measured based on a number of factors. These are described simply as follows:
"The "brightness" of light can mean different things: for example, the amount of light coming from a light source is luminous flux (lumens), the amount of light falling on a surface is illuminance (lux), and the amount of light reflected off a surface is luminance (cd/m2)." – (Read more…)
But as I mentioned, this illuminance, or the brightness of a room, is not the only factor our complex system of vision takes into account when calculating the size and shape of a space.
The first consideration to understand is that In actuality, if a brightness level is too high it can actually mar our ability to see planes and surfaces and we become unable to perceive actual depth and space at all. We can actually make a space seem "flatter" and therefore smaller if we overdo the "brightness and light" factors.
The second fact to consider is that because we live in a 3 dimensional world, our brains have developed complex processes for interpreting various aspects of visual data. In this case I am referring to "perspective". Deciphering "perspective" is what allows us to see and move through the X, Y and Z planes that surround us. For the purposes of my explanation, I will be focusing primarily on how we perceive the third, or the "Z" plane that I will refer to as "depth".
Brightness alone does not give our eye any information relating to depth or shape. To perceive these things our brain searches for additional information. Most notably, it seeks variations in tonal depth. As all artists know, to make an object appear further away, darken it slightly, to bring it to the foreground – lighten it.
This is called "shading". Shading and shadows are vital information that allow our brains to perceive the shape of an object or space. We can assume height, width, depth, curves, slopes, and multitudes of minute variations within a space through the billions of calculations our brains do every moment as it interprets the information received from the eye.
So back to my topic about the myth that light colors make a room seem larger.
Stating that a room is made to feel larger by painting it in bright colors is too simplistic. In my experience, a truer statement would be, careful use of light and shaded, or "darker" tones can make a space seem larger. I promise you, I can take two identical rooms, paint one in a single light tone and in the other I can introduce color and shading, and I can make the second room seem larger than the first.
I can achieve this by considering BOTH, illuminance AND perspective. To make your space feel larger, don't feel you have to hang yourself on the "beige and white" altar. Instead, follow the few steps below and you can once again be confident to introduce color into your world without fear of making your home or apartment feel small!
Now the fun part. Choosing paint.
First mistake. Please DON'T work with only one color. But If you insist, because you have "issues" and there is only one color in this entire universe that you like, then please have it tinted in lighter and darker versions. Ask your paint store to do this for you – if you need 4 gallons of paint to complete your room, have two gallons mixed in your primary color, one gallon in a ½ tint lighter, and one gallon in a ½ tint darker. Trust me, using tints properly can have a profound affect in making your room appear both brighter and larger.
For the rest of you who are brave enough to use color variations, choose your favorite color "palette". By that I mean, falls tones, pastel tones, spring tones, or "winter". Then choose your absolute favorite "depth" of color. Yes, if you just love deep dark denim blue, or a rich mahogany or chardonnay red, or the gentleman's club evergreens, then know you can include at least one of these in your palette without absolutely no fear that you will shrink or darken your space!
Once you have chosen that "foundation color" you will need to select an array of complimentary colors in the palette you have identified (fall, spring etc). Choosing this complimentary array is also key to how you can use color and still keep your space feeling spacious. To learn how to choose and how to use the colors or shades you have chosen and how to apply them to the "light", "medium" and "dark" walls you have identified in your space, please come back for my next blog where I will go into step by step detail.

UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) pictures batch 3, a continuation of Transparent flickering fish-like bird UFO, and comes with more UFO photos. Some of the objects will not be shown here, typically if they are just dots or really unclear.
UAP pictures batch #3 (IMG_5990 May 25th 2017 at 02:39:38 pm)
Some of the pictures of batch #3 (extracted from IMG_5990.JPG) with 10 unknown objects in the sky, but only 2 of the most interesting are shown here, among others three UFO spheres in a row, or cluster! Also check out the bottom hi-res link to the original full-size photograph, and see the objects there for your own research only!
To me, it clearly looks like three ball-shaped sphere UFOs together in a row...
It can be difficult to see, but there also seem to be some white "smoke" above the spheres, like it is coming from each sphere, blows upwards a bit and leave a smoketrail behind (imagination), like if they were coming fast against the camera (imagination).
I saw something like this in the old Battle of LA 1942 UFO footage, where several small spheres were flying fast around the bigger object in the searchlights. Some of those had packed into a cluster of three (or five) objects. In connection with another incident, I saw smoke, or plasma, come out from four spheres in different sizes that seemed to be heading toward me, but that is another story! Below photo is inverted.
Above picture shows clearly three round shapes close together, resembling spheres ready to what? What these are used for would be interesting to find out. Surveilance and the ability to monitor a situation could be one reason maybe. Another could be for protection purposes maybe, used to guard an area searching for all kinds of outside interactions to be sure the main vessel is safe! My very first UFO pictures was actually also a sphere, a round dark shape quite large indeed, see Large stationary UFO sphere
This object is not very clear in the picture, but something is there and it is not an insect or a bird. Looks like there are two black dots on the front of this object.
Due to the shape and the equal sides you can see in the last inverted grayscale picture below, I can only say, that it is not an insect or a bird, but I can´t identify it.
I can not be sure my drawings below are correct, but this is what I see in the pictures. And the pixels can cheat you and make optical illusions. And as you might have noticed, the "handle" on top of the object shown in the drawing below to the right, is taken from the last gray-scale pic right above. But the second pic above shows no "handle" on top of the object, shown in drawings below to the left.
The unidentified aerial phenomena pictures shown above can be checked by you! Just use the link below and see the original high resolution photograph for your self., and study the 10 objects that are there. UFOs or not? You may have an opinion, feel free to comment on this!

It was a brief weekend respite from the brutal winter, and I HAD to get outside, despite not feeling well. Was surprised to see this dried hydrangea had survived snow storm after snow storm. Fragile looking, but resilient.
Today, back to reality and 30 degrees…colder temps to come and snow again on Wednesday…at least we got a break. 🙂
Weekly Photo Challenge: Threes

The topic of this week's photo challenge is Three. This can be interpreted by using three photos to show three different perspectives of the same subject or by taking three related items.
As I pondered how I would interpret the challenge, I went into my cramped little bedroom to my computer and saw a couple of contented cats. (Forgive the unattractive humidifier…I have been sick and I thought if I tried to move it out of the way before taking the photo, I might disturb the cats.)
I then took a close-up of each cat in their chosen sleeping place. Aimee chose the cushy spot.
Zoee chose the office chair for her nap. (The ultimate in human catering to cat, I am kneeling on the floor at my computer as I post this so I don't kick Zoee off the chair!)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Treasure
Posted in Weekly Photo Challenge, tagged family, heirlooms, photography, quilts, Weekly Photo Challenge: Treasure on February 16, 2014| 9 Comments »
The Weekly Photo Challenge topic this week is Treasure. Because I have been blogging for a while, I have already photographed and described many of my "treasures" in different contexts. I tried to come up with a couple of new ones.
I used this photo recently in a blog about my grandfather.
The "coffee table" was my mother's toy box, made by her father, when she was a child. But here's a close-up I took today of what is on my coffee table.
It is a little memorial to my beloved cat, Simone, which includes her copper urn and a photo book with pictures of her over the years. They sit on a ceramic tray handmade by a stranger that I found in an antique store on a trip to Keene, NH. Under the tray is an old handmade doll quilt I got at an antique store on Cape Cod. Taken as a whole, my coffee table is truly the centerpiece of my living room.
This little treasure sits on another table.
My father's stepfather (the only grandfather I ever knew) had an entrepreneurial spirit and tried many businesses. One of them was making and painting ceramics; he and my father were going to do it together, but my grandfather died before they could get things up and running. When we cleaned out my grandparents' house, the cellar was full of ceramic molds and unpainted ceramics, which we ended up giving away to a camp for kids. But there were a few painted ones, finished but never sold, mostly painted by my father. I see the flaws in the painting and glazing of this leaf dish, but I love it anyway, because my father's initials are on the back…it was likely one of his early attempts. My mother has one with much neater and richer coloring –the purple color is not blotchy and pale –but I treasure this one just the same.
Last but not least, this was a quilt I used in my doll's crib when I was a child. Until recently I thought my mother had made it for me, and I treasured it accordingly. But in a recent conversation with my mother, I learned the true story of this treasure…it was made by my great-grandmother! I never knew that my mother had used it and passed it on to me, so it is quite old. I use it as a bureau scarf in my bedroom.

Patients who sustain a burn injury of more than 20 - 30 % TBSA will, if untreated, develop burn shock within a couple of hours. Flcid is lost fi·om the vascular compartment due to suction from the interstitium of the wound and due to a generalised increase in vascular permeability. To prevent bum shock intravenous fluids are given during the first two days after a bum in order to ensure adequate organ perfusion. Although organ perfusion will be improved when blood volume is restored, the fluid provided will add to the continuing leak into the tissues. With fluid treatment the patient survives the acute stage, but the resulting oedema interferes with the healing of the burn wound and partially damaged skin may be further compromised.
To describe, follow and understand the development of the general oedema in burn injured patients we used four different techniques. Ethanol dilution was used for measurement of total body water (TBW), iohexol dilution in order to estimate extracellular volume (ECV), bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to register TBW as well as electrical membrane properties and the impression method (IM) for the measurement of visco-elastic properties in non-burned tissues. In order to further examine the non-invasive techniques (BIA and IM) these were used in patients subjected to haemodialysis.
The excess fluid was found to be accumulated in the extracellular space. Interesting alterations in the visco-clastic properties of the skin and cellular electrical membrane properties could also be detected. These alterations were not related to the actual tluid volume in the tissues. Instead, they were related to changes in the fluid equilibrium of the tissues. Still, one week postbum an excess of tissue fluid, altered cellular electrical membrane properties and changed visco-elastic properties of the skin remained.
Albumin supplementation did not influence the amount or distribution of the excess tissue fluid, measured with dilution techniques.
The course of tissue swelling in human non-injured skin after burn injury was investigated with a non-invasive impression method that measures force and tissue fluid translocation during mechanical compression of the skin. Time-dependent changes in the fluid translocation and the interstitial-pressure related to impression force were measured on 11 occasions, during 3 weeks, in seven patients postburn. A mathematical model was fitted to the impression force curves and the parameters of the model depicted the time-dependent compartmental fluid shift in the postburn generalized oedema. Tissue fluid translocation increased significantly (P < 0.05) up to a maximum value after 6 days postburn and declined thereafter. This indicated a continuous increase in the generalized postburn oedema for the first 6 days postburn. Impression force at 3 weeks postburn was significantly lower (P < 0.001) as compared with the half-day postburn value, indicating an increased tissue pressure during the first days postburn. Parameter analysis indicated a flux of water-like fluid from the vasculature to the interstitial space during the first 6 days postburn. The spread of the values registered between different measurement sites was, however, large.
Two non-invasive methods (the bioimpedance technique, BIA, and the impression method, IM) were studied, to find out whether they are sensitive enough to detect and chronicle the development of the oedema and fluid resuscitation effects (Parkland formula) that occur secondary to a major burn. Ten patients with a total burned body surface area (TBSA) of more than 10% were included in this prospective study. Total body water (TBW), as measured by the resistance (BIA) or F(0) variable (IM), reached a maximum on day 2. The tissue fluid translocation (INT) variable (IM) followed a different course, increasing slowly to reach a maximum on day 6, when it was 40% higher than the 12 h value. TBW and the interstitial translocatable fluid were still increased 1 week post-burn. The non-invasive measurements of TBW (resistance by BIA and F(0) by IM) reflected the anticipated changes in TBW. The phase angle (BIA) indicative of cellular membrane effects of burn and sepsis had its lowest values at day 1.5, and stayed significantly low until day 4. Interestingly, the phase angle was lowest in the two cases that died subsequently. The different time course of the INT value (IM), which reflected the translocatable interstitial fluid volume in skin, may be the result of resuscitation fluid remaining in this compartment, due to the excess sodium content together with a possible change in tissue compliance secondary to the early total water peak on day 2.
During dialysis excess fluid is removed from uraemic patients. The excess fluid is mainly located in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. In this study we wished, with two non-invasive techniques, the IM (impression method) and BIA (bioimpedance analysis), to study what mechanical (IM) and electrical cellular membrane (BIA) effects the fluid withdrawal has on these tissues. The IM measures the resistive force of the tissues when mechanically compressed. From the force curve two parameters are calculated, the F(0), indicative of interstitial tissue pressure and the FT corresponding to the translocation of tissue fluid (interstitial movable water).
The BIA phase angle shift (), i.e. geometrical angular transformation of the ratio between reactance and resistance, which has been associated with cellular membrane function, was used as a measurement of electrical cellular membrane effects.
Twenty patients were studied before and after haemodialysis measuring the F(0), FT and . The results showed that the patients lost a median of 3.7 kg during the haemodialysis. F(0) increased until after dialysis, but did not reach significant values, whereas FT increased significantly after dialysis, p < 0.001, as compared with before. After a peak at one hour postdialysis the FT value returned to predialysis values at four hours after termination of dialysis. Also increased from before to after dialysis, p < 0.001, but already after one hour it returned to predialysis values.
It is common knowledge that dialysis alters the dynamics of fluid in the interstitium of the skin and subcutis. We conclude that the impression method is sensitive enough to detect and chronicle these changes. Furthermore, with the BIA, (phase angle) signs of changes in the electrical properties of the tissues, possibly reflecting cellular membrane function, could be detected.
Objective: To measure water balance and changes in distribution, and the effect of giving supplementary albumin, early after a burn injury.
Design: Consecutive patients (matched groups) and healthy controls.
Setting: National burn unit in a Swedish university hospital.
Patients and subjects: Eighteen patients with 18%-90% total burned surface area and 16 healthy male control subjects.
Interventions: The patients were given an intravenous infusion of ethanol over 1 h, 0.35-0.60 g/kg body weight, and a bolus of 3.3 to 6.5 g of iohexol. The control subjects were given the same amounts of either ethanol or iohexol. Patients were subdivided into two groups according to whether or not they received supplementary albumin starting 12 h post-burn.
Measurements and results: Blood samples were drawn at 20-30 min intervals over 4 h after the start of the infusion. Serum ethanol was measured by headspace gas chromatography, and iohexol with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Distribution volume was calculated from the concentration-time profiles. Total body water (TBW) was measured by the ethanol tracer and bioelectric impedance (BIA) techniques, and estimated extracellular water (ECWest) by iohexol tracer. They were all significantly increased after a burn. Excess water was accumulated mainly in the extracellular compartment. It declined towards normal values (those of volunteers) at the end of the week. Albumin supplementation did not influence the amount or distribution of the excess fluid.
Conclusion: Body water increases after a burn. Excess water is mainly deposited in the extracellular space. Tissue oedema fluid is not mobilised by albumin supplementation.
Objective: To study the rate of elimination of ethanol after a major burn trauma.
Design: Prospective, controlled study.
Setting: National burns unit in a Swedish university hospital.
Patients and Subjects: Eight consecutive patients suffering from 18%-72% total burned surface area and nine healthy male control subjects.
Interventions: The patients received ethanol, 0.35-0.60 g/kg body weight intravenously, during 1 hr. This was repeated daily during the first week postburn. The control subjects received the same amount of ethanol once.
Measurements and Main Results: Blood samples were drawn at 20- to 30-min intervals during 5 hrs after the start of the infusion. Serum ethanol was determined by headspace gas chromatography. The rate of elimination of ethanol was calculated from the concentration time profile. In the control subjects, the median elimination rate was 0.074 g/kg/hr (range, 0.059-0.083 g/kg/hr). In the patients, it was already 0.138 g/kg/hr (range, 0.111-0.201 g/kg/hr) on the first day; this increased even further over the following 6 days, reaching 0.183 g/kg/hr (range, 0.150-0.218 g/kg/hr) on the seventh day.
Conclusions: Ethanol elimination is augmented postburn. A more effective reoxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide seems the most likely explanation for the increased rate of ethanol elimination in these hypermetabolic trauma patients. This finding suggests that the oxidative capacity of the liver may be assessed by studying the rate of ethanol elimination in burn victims.

As soon as I saw the Thoughtful Branches bundle, I knew that I wanted to use it for my dad's birthday card this year. His birthday is next week, so I'd better get this card in the mail soon!
Stamps: Thoughtful Branches, Birthday Fiesta
Ink: VersaMark, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Garden Green, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip
Other: Beautiful Branches Thinlets, Clear Embossing Powder
I wanted my tree to have extra depth, so I started out by using the tree top thinlet to make a hole in the So Saffron layer so the Garden Green base would show through. I cut it from the back, though, so it would be the opposite image of the one I put on top.
My next layer was the bare branches, because I knew some of them would show through.
I really like the stamped tree trunk, so I added that next.
I used Clear Embossing Powder on both the trunk and the leaves to make the tree even more vibrant.
I used the colors from Can You Case It and the diagonal from the top left for the Stamp Ink Paper tic tac toe challenge.

|Hot Chocolate
|Add 2 Tablespoons of mix to water and whisk
|The finished cup!
American Heritage Chocolate is made by the Mars Corporation using the recipe and ingredients that are authentic to the 17th Century. This was given to me as a gift from a friend that visited Colonial Williamsburg and I have seen it at several other historical sights.
The package contains chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter and spices. A serving is easily made, by boiling 4 ounces of water and adding 2 tablespoons of the mix. You whisk until the chocolate is melted and pour in cup to serve.
This hot chocolate is surprisingly rich considering it is made with water and has a delicious blend of spices, which add to the flavor and do not overpower it. I would recommend this if you like hot chocolate or even if you just wanted to see what a chocolate drink in the 17th century tasted like!

For the first time in years, Jeep will feature a pickup truck in its lineup with the 2020 Gladiator. As expected, the new Gladiator delivers on all of the exterior styling and off-road capability that customers have come to expect from the Jeep brand.
Jeep will offer the 2020 Gladiator in Sport, Sport S, Overland, and Rubicon trim levels.
Of course, the midsize truck's front styling is unmistakably Jeep, with its vertically slotted grille and round headlights, as well as its boxy, protruding fender flares. The manufacturer also offers a soft-top, making it the only truck on the market to offer such a feature. A black 3-piece hardtop is available for all models, and a hardtop matched to the body color is offered for the Overland and Rubicon trims.
While the truck's soft top is a segment exclusive, the star of the show here is the Gladiator's 5-foot-long steel pickup bed. The tailgate has a power-locking function that can stop in three different positions, as well as under-rail bed lighting.
The range-topping Rubicon model also features a bed cover and rock rails, which keep the truck's bed safe in treacherous off-road terrain. Lastly, the pickup bed has a full-size spare tire mounted underneath, which can hold up to a 35-inch tire.
At launch, Jeep will offer the Gladiator with a 3.6-liter V6 engine making 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, while an 8-speed automatic is optional. During 2020, Jeep will add a turbocharged, 3.0-liter diesel V6 engine to the Gladiator's lineup, which will mate exclusively to an 8-speed automatic transmission. For Rubicon models with the 8-speed automatic transmission, there is a 77.2:1 crawl ratio, which allows for both towing and performance dexterity.
All Gladiator models are 4-wheel drive and utilize a full-time torque management system, though the Rubicon receives a higher low-range gear ratio. As would be expected of a Jeep, the Gladiator offers plenty of off-road capability, with up to 30 inches of water-fording depth, a steep departure angle of 26 degrees, and excellent ground clearance of 11.1 inches. And for those who wish to use the Gladiator for its truck-like aspects, you sure can; it features a payload capacity of 1,600 pounds and can tow up to 7,650 lbs.
Jeep also pays attention to the interior of the 2020 Gladiator, offering features such as a push-button starter and full-color LED instrument cluster for all trims. Three different infotainment displays are also offered; Sport models have a 5-inch touchscreen display, while the others receive either a 7.0- or 8.4-inch touchscreen. Both the 7- and 8.4-inch screens can display Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection technology, while the 5-inch one does not.
Jeep also claims the Gladiator has a new rear-seat design that provides segment-leading legroom, while also being able to fold flat for additional storage.
Highlights of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator:
- Completely new midsize pickup truck model from Jeep
- Standard drivetrain consisting of 3.6-liter V6 engine, 4x4 system, and manual transmission available at launch, while a diesel engine and 8-speed automatic transmission join the lineup later on
- Standard 7,500-lb. towing and 1,600-lb. payload capacities
- Segment-exclusive soft-top roof, which provides an open-air experience
- Optional bed-located 400 watt, 115-volt, three-prong external outlet
- Full-color LED instrument cluster
- Available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection capability
- Over 200 new or redesigned parts and accessories optionally available for the Gladiator through the Mopar brand
- Available driver-assistive technologies include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a dynamic rearview camera
What We Think
It's been over 25 years since Jeep has offered customers a pickup truck, and the new Gladiator is proof that good things are worth waiting for.
The 2019 Jeep Gladiator features unique styling and plenty of capability in all the areas that count. Want to tow stuff? There's a 7,500-lb. towing capacity. Want to go off-roading? The Gladiator has a standard 4x4 system and plenty of different attributes that make it a star in even the most challenging terrain. Want to stow things? Jeep provides the Gladiator with plenty of built-in storage, as well as a 1,600-lb. payload for its bed.
From the outside, it's easy to look at the Gladiator and dismiss it as simply a Wrangler with a pickup bed, but such is far from the case. When going through the 2020 Gladiator's long equipment list, it's clear that Jeep has put thorough effort into making one of the most unique and proficient trucks on the market. Though it's too early to say for sure, the Gladiator might just have the potential to become the best all-around vehicle in Jeep's lineup.

January 20th marked the 40th anniversary of Kate Bush's debut single, "Wuthering Heights". The artist herself was able to mark the landmark pop culture moment by writing an epitaph to Emily Brontë, author of the book on which the song is based, as part of the Bradford Literature Festival early this month. But Bush's fans recently celebrated in their own way by holding what they dubbed, The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever.
Organized by Bush fans across the world, the events saw hundreds of fans in different international cities recreating the iconic "Wuthering Heights" music video. Fans in Berlin, Melbourne, San Francisco, Dublin, Gothenburg, and more all gathered in public spaces on July 14th dressed in their best approximation of Bush's red dress and performed the airy choreography.
Linda Ball, who helped organize the dance in Sheffield, England, told the BBC (via NME),
"It was a tremendous day. There was a lot of drama and expressive moves. We had professional dancers at the front doing the routine although there were a lot of hardcore fans who clearly knew the moves anyway. It's never been done before in the north of England so I thought wow, if we could pull this off and do it, what a memorable thing to be a part of."
Check out footage and pictures from some of the Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever meet ups below.

Sound on! Yesterday's dance practice for #mostwutheringheightsdayever or me leading a wonderful new cult? Either way, it is magical! We shall twirl joyously forever! Much love and thanks to the thousands of Cathys, and to Kat Brandenberger for organising everything for such a beautiful day! Thanks to @owen_minogue for the video so I could regram! @gogoacademy instructing 1000's of Cathy's through the dance moves to @katebushmusic's classic 'Wuthering Heights' for the annual "Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever" ❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃❤💃 #Melbourne #Fitzroy #WutheringHeightsDay #KateBush #Cathys #MassDanceOff #WutheringHeights #MWHDE18 #MelbournesMostWuthering – #regrann #massdancemaster #annagogo #massdance #love #joy #enjoyyourlife ❤ @melbournemostwuthering @katbrandenberger
And here's Bush's original video:
The piece Bush penned in honor of Brontë became one of four works engraved onto stones and placed along the route between the author's birthplace in Thornton, England and the Brontë family home in Haworth, Yorkshire.

No one is perfect and we are certainly not ourselves when we lose someone we love. When you do make a mistake acknowledge it, but don't hold onto it for the rest of your life.
If you hurt someone in any way than apologize by acknowledging their feelings. We can ask for their forgiveness but we can't make others forgive us for the mistakes we made when grieving. If we put ourselves out and yet forgiveness does not come back us, then you just have to let it go.
Also, if the mistake you made hurt yourself than apologize to yourself. Acknowledge that at this time of grieving you've been too hard on yourself. Let it go – ask yourself for forgiveness and then move forward.
Sometimes it's harder to forgive ourselves than to forgive others who have wronged us. But it's important for your inner peace and tranquility so take out a notebook to write out and answer these questions:
Is my negative self-talk beating me up mentally?
Do I believe that I deserve to be happy?
Am I holding myself back from new relationships?
Am I settling for what I have because I think I'm not worthy?
It's time to make some changes and a good start is acknowledging the good and bad in your life. Write down a declaration that in this New Year you will make a conscious effort to treat yourself with dignity and practice loving yourself unconditionally.
You are beautiful and deserve a full life. Don't let grief rob you of a life full of memories and shared time with friends and family. Start treating yourself as if you were the most important person in your life, because you are. Others will pick up on what you believe so put out positive thoughts and forgiveness so you will be open to all that life has to offer.
