"Is it really possible to design your own dream job?"
That was the only question on my mind on February 12th, 2015 as I anxiously gave my boss notice that I would be leaving my position at a very well known, international law firm.
"Are you crazy?!?"
That's what most people said when they heard the news.
"Why are you throwing it all away?"
I had worked hard to get where I was in my career. Four years of college. Three years of law school. Six figures of student loan debt. Free internships. Several job job/location changes. Long hours spent at the office to be a "team player."
I did all of the things that you are supposed to do to become successful. I followed the conventional wisdom.
But the truth was -- I didn't feel very successful. In fact, I had created a life that I dreaded everyday.
The Breaking Point
In 2014 I had a major cancer scare that, in retrospect, turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
When people receive a cancer diagnosis, it really puts life into perspective.
All of the sudden, your time doesn't seem so infinite. You are forced to come face to face with your own mortality.
At 33 years old, I had to come to grips with the fact that my life might be cut much shorter than I had anticipated.
Suddenly, every minute mattered and I didn't want to spend one more day living a life that was out a alignment.
Designing Your Own Destiny
This part was not easy. Designing a business and a life that is truly fulfilling meant that I had to stop listening to everyone else's opinions and expectations and start listening to myself.
I had always been pushed in the direction of becoming a lawyer. It had become my identity.
When you identify with something, whether it's a job, a weight, or a belief about yourself, it's very difficult to leave that behind. For most of us, our current identity is comfortable and it's painful to step out of our comfort zones. That's why most people never do. But it's necessary if you want to make a change.
For a while, I felt lost and directionless. I didn't know who I was or what I wanted anymore.
It was agonizing and beautiful at the same time. For the first time since I could remember, I was a blank slate.
Now, it was up to me to decide what I really wanted to do... what I really wanted to become.
Self Examination
The first thing I did was make a list of all of the things that I really loved or that brought me joy and peace.
For example...
- I love to read (books are my jam - especially nonfiction because I love to learn new things.)
- I love to spend time outdoors.
- I love to learn and teach.
- I love technology.
- I love spending time with people I care about (family, friends, and my awesome pets.)
- I love to solve problems in unique ways (this is a skill I picked up in law school.)
- I love to help people solve problems in new and creative ways.
The next step was figuring out how I could take all of these things I love and create a business and life that I would be excited to wake up to everyday.
The "Perfect Day" Visualization Exercise
I think it was Lewis Howes who first introduced me to this concept - but this simple exercise was essential to helping me "find my own path."
The way it works is, you close your eyes and you envision what your ideal day would be like from the time you wake up in the morning, until the time you go to bed at night.
- What do you do?
- Where do you go?
- Who do you spend it with?
Try to be as detailed as possible and write down some of the details as they come to mind so you don't forget!
Then, you can use this information to start moving in a specific direction with your work or business.
I wrote about my perfect "ordinary" day below. But it's also helpful to allow your imagination to run really wild. You can also do this exercise and think of your perfect "ultimate" day, "dream vacation" or even something that you would like to achieve, but that seems out of reach right now.
My Perfect Day
In my perfect day I am able to wake up when I want. There are no alarms. No rush to get out of bed. No stress.
As I wake up, I leisurely enjoy a cup of tea and plan what I want to accomplish for the day. I spend some time writing and reflecting on my goals.
Next, I take my dog Mindy to the park for a walk.
As we walk along the river front, I enjoy the view of the city in the distance and think about how grateful I am to be able to live here.
When we return, I prepare a healthy breakfast for myself (I never really had time to do that when I had to go into the office - so it feels like a luxury.)
Next, I grab my laptop and go to one of my favorite coffee spots or bistros to work on something interesting and creative... a new writing project, a tutorial, or an online course idea.
After lunch, I head back outdoors for a bike ride or jump into a kayak for a relaxing afternoon paddle.
I return home feeling relaxed and energized.
For the rest of the afternoon I work on an interesting book that I'm recording for a client for an hour or two before preparing dinner or going out to meet up with friends or family.
I wind down the day in my bathroom. Yes, my bathroom. The bathroom has always been like a sanctuary to me.
I soak in the tub while listening to one of my favorite podcasts or an audiobook before sliding into super comfy pajamas.
Then I crawl into bed. It's the most comfortable bed in the world. The mattress is plush. The sheets are crisp and smell like fresh laundry. I sink into a pile of pillows and drift asleep reading a good book.
That's my perfect day.
It's not overly glamorous or extravagant. Yet, a couple years ago, a day like this would have been impossible.
Getting from there to here
At this point I had lists of my personal strengths, things I loved, and what I wanted my ideal day to look like, but I had no idea how I put it all together to create something that support this vision financially.
I made a list of realistic ideas that were in alignment with my perfect day:
- writing
- narrating books
- teaching online classes
- creating other digital products (tutorials, templates, workbooks)
- helping other people promote their products
- creating videos
- blogging
Then I just started trying things. You can't figure out what you like and don't like by thinking about it. You actually have to DO it. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
Audiobook Narration
The first thing I tried was audiobook narration. I didn't even know this was something that was possible until a few years ago. And I certainly didn't think that someone like me (with no acting background or experience) would be able to jump right in and start getting work.
As it turns out, there are millions of books on Amazon that don't have an audiobook yet. Amazon and Audible even have their own platform called ACX where you can create your own profile for free, audition for books, or invite authors to come work with you on the platform.
I've recorded dozens of audiobooks now and I absolutely love it.
Click here to view some of my audiobook work.
Some authors will pay you a flat rate upfront to record their book (I did this to grow my business in the beginning) and other will do a "royalty share" deal with you and you'll get 50% of the audiobook royalties each month (this is a great passive income strategy - most of the books I work on now are royalty share for this reason.)
I will say that there is a bit of a learning curve to this. It's not quite as easy as "just reading into a microphone."
If you want to work as a freelance audiobook narrator, you're going to need a decent microphone. You're also going to have to learn how to edit and produce your own work, at least in the beginning. It's not an impossible skill to learn, but it will take some patience.
While you can do very well as a freelance narrator, it certainly isn't a "get rich quick" type of thing. Then again, nothing really is, right?
As with everything, you'll get out of it what you put into it. Getting started isn't difficult, but mastering the craft is a long game.
Book Writing
As I was figuring out how to narrate audiobooks I kept very detailed notes of every step that I took and what I was learning along the way. I'm glad I did because I quickly found was that there is a lot of basic information out there on how to get into narration, but nothing really specific (no technical tutorials) that would actually help someone who is brand new to all of this successfully complete their first project.
Eventually friends started asking me how I got into narration and I happily shared my notes with them. Pretty soon I was getting so many requests that one of my friends told me I should write a book.
And that's exactly what I did.
I used my notes and experiences from producing dozens of audiobooks to write, Narration: A Beginner's Guide to Recording Audiobooks in Audacity.
While that book isn't a runaway best seller, I've been able to keep the Amazon rank consistently between 60,000 and 70,000 on Amazon, which isn't bad for a book that was originally published in 2014 (the book was recently updated in late 2017.)
If you want to see how Amazon rank translates to daily sales, Dave Chesson from Kindlepreneur created a free Kindle Sales Rank Calculator. You just put in the sales rank number, and the calculator tells you approximately how many copies the book is selling each day.
This is also a great tool for assessing potential royalty share narration projects.
Having a book on Amazon not only adds to my passive income, but it also drive traffic to my website. Just something to keep in mind if you're thinking about starting your own digital product business.
Here are a few of my favorite book publishing resources:
- [Free Workshop] How to Write & Launch Your Book to $10,000 in 90 Days (shows you how to finish your book in 30 minutes per day & you get a FREE copy of Chandler Bolt's bestselling book "Book Launch" when you register.)
- [Free Workshop] The 3-Step Process to Automate Your Author Marketing and Find Your First 10,000 Readers.
- KDP Rocket: Kindle Keyword and Self Publishing Software
Online Teaching/Course Creation
Once the book was out and people started reading it, an interesting thing happened. People started reaching out to me on social media and emailing me because they had additional questions about narrating audiobooks.
The book was great for some people, but others really like to SEE how things are done. Visual learners typically don't fully grasp concepts well by reading text alone.
I started keeping a spreadsheet of all of the questions people asked and the places where they had the most trouble. I used this data to turn my book into a video course so that I could show people how to complete complex technical steps rather than just trying to explain the steps with words.
One of the most important lessons that I've learned as a course creator is that good courses are never really finished. I still monitor, track, research and answer every question that comes in from both my free and premium courses. I use this data to better understand how my students learn and how I can help my students reach their learning objective with the least amount of friction.
The Future of Online Education (and the future of this site.)
Currently, this is the issue that interests me that most.
It's no secret that education is migrating from formal classrooms to the online/digital space, in the same way that our economy is shifting from physical labor and office work, to a global online workplace.
Online educators and course creators have the ability to offer creative, cutting edge solutions to meet the demands of the ever-changing global economy. Many colleges and universities are using outdated curriculum that can't keep up with current advancements in technology.
The demand for online courses has grown exponentially in the past five years and is projected to continue to grow.
The opportunities to teach practical, technical, and life skills online are nearly unlimited.
However, one of the major problems that the online course industry as a whole is currently facing is creating effective teaching experiences.
I believe that those who will be the most successful in the online education space are those who focus on student results and are capable or creating engaging learning experiences.
I plan to dedicate a large part of time to testing new learning methods, including the use of interactive bot technology to create richer learning experiences.

Henley Hall is holding an open weekend on Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 November for couples wishing to consider Henley Hall as their wedding venue & couples wishing to tie the know in 2017 will even have the chance to get the venue for free!!
Open to the public for the first time, Henley Hall is one of the most unique wedding venues in the Midlands. The grade II listed country house lies in the beautiful South Shropshire countryside just outside Ludlow. Surrounded by spectacular estate land and formal gardens, Henley is approached down an impressive tree lined avenue. The river Ledwyche runs through the tranquil gardens, the river being crossed by a very fine double arched stone bridge.
The garden is on two levels linked by particularly grand stone steps. The grounds provide ample space for an outside wedding and marquee and lend themselves particularly well to photographs. For more intimate parties the Painted Room, painted by Florentine artists in 1850 and featuring cameo portraits of Henry VIII and his wife, along with other British Monarchy, provides a setting for a ceremony for up to 60 people. The wedding breakfast can then be held in the adjacent Henley Room.

Create your online profile
I had the honor Monday (and I do see it as an honor) to give a 40 minute presentations to the whole high school student body at my school (350+) plus teachers. It is by far the largest audience I've ever giving a presentation in front of and not an easy audience to start with. On top of that today marked the first day of spirit week so all 350+ students were wearing their PJs!
I titled my presentation "Creating Your Online Profile: Who do you want to be?" The presentation was really about online safety and understanding social-networks. But you can't call a presentation geared towards high schools 'online safety', so I decided to take a positive approach. High school kids have enough people telling them what not to do…they don't need some geeky guy in blue jeans doing the same. So I wrapped the Internet safety message around a positive message about creating an online profile that works for you.
I started off having the students define what makes a social-network social. I had them holler out what makes a social-network. Great responses: "Allows you to connect to people", "Allows you to share pictures", "Allows you to communicate". From there I asked how many of them had a facebook profile. It was easily 98% of the student body. They all laughed looking around at each other with smirks on their face like "Yeah, that's right…we're the social-network generation!" Next I had the teachers stand up if they had a facebook profile. Those smirks turned to shock as about half the high school staff stood up. That social-network belongs to everyone!
From there we talked about information flow and how in a connected web you can not control information. Links and connections are not always visible and once the information is out there you can not get it back.
The best feedback from the students came from the use of this site:
It takes the links from any website and turns them in to a visualization of how information flows from a site.
We talked about creating an online profile that represents who you are, or who you want to be. We discussed the fact that our society at this moment in time really doesn't know where to draw the line when it comes to what is private and what is public, what should be held against you in a job interview and what shouldn't. We talked about these four articles:
We then talked about how to create an online profile that will help you in life and maybe even get accepted to college.
The presentation seemed to go over well with a couple of high schoolers coming up to me afterwards and saying "Man, you're intense!" What can I say, I get excited when I talk about this stuff…I just wish I got to more often. 🙂
After the presentation I went around with the counselors and talked with students in their classes. I helped to answer questions on a more personal level and had some great conversations with students around their concerns. One students went back to class, grabbed a laptop and did a search for his name and was shocked that people had written about him without him knowing it.
It's a connected world, and even though they live it, I'm not really sure they get it.
Another student in one of the sessions said "We know all this stuff is there, we just pretend it isn't." and don't we all pretend not to see it sometimes.
My favorite quote from today is when a student was talking with the classroom teacher and referred to facebook as "our space". An interesting and accurate description of how the students view these social-network sites. They were their first, they have helped to make them what they are today, and they update and create content there more than any of us do. It is there space, but the issue is everyone is allowed in their space and they can't control that!
I would share my PowerPoint slides but there really isn't anything to share. Lately I've been taking the approach of using pictures to tell my story as I talk. I also played two YouTube videos which got good responses as well. You have to talk to the audience in their language and students today understand pictures and videos.

This sounds like a fabulous presentation. Perhaps you should go on tour. High school students need to hear this but so do staff members. Understanding that every time you post anything, you are creating your profile is difficult for all of us to get – students and teachers, alike.
Ann O October 31, 2007 |
It sounds like a great presentation all around. Some students are starting to hear so much about Internet Safety that I think it is starting to go in one ear and out the other. Your approach is great in that the kids are more likely to want to have a clean image for job and college interviews. It hits them where they live. So many students like to think that the online world is private, but fail to realize that their friend today could take a screen capture or download a file that you think is locked down and post it again anywhere. I personally struggle with where to draw the line with my own information.
Tod Baker October 31, 2007 |
Sometimes despite all precautions our privacy gets compromised by others in our network. Students are often surprised to realize that if just one person in their network changes the privacy settings on a shared image, for example, from "for friends only" to "anyone" then that image is now public.
It's a great conversation topic with students.
Sara Nitschke October 31, 2007 |
First of all this sounds like a really neat presentation and a unique way of getting your message across. Kids are diving headfirst into the worldwide web without understanding how they are being perceived on there. I think everyone has a part of their private life that they might not want their teacher or boss to find out about, but doesn't affect their professional life at all. Unfortunately when you put this stuff on the web, it becomes public. If it is inappropriate, that speaks badly for your school or workplace. This is where the issue lies. Your online profile is a part of your entire personality, a reflection of yourself and the groups you are part of. Students believe these sites are their private little worlds, and finding out teachers were a large part must have shocked them. Private and professional lives should be kept apart but the web is bringing them together. If people need a more private and personal space to share with friends, they need to be more careful.
Anna Niemeyer November 1, 2007 |
It sounds like it was a great presentation that really connected to your students. Your approach to presenting to the kids was a great way to relate to them. Which Youtube Videos did you use for this presentation? I assume that you used the video with the bulletin picture that keeps reappearing; but what was the other?
Cassie November 2, 2007 |
I think social networking is a really cool thing to have. It allows you connect to your friends no matter where there at. It's neat he shows them how to do it and encourages them to use it safely.
Andrew the great November 6, 2007 |
WOW! I have never read something SO powerful!!
Sammie November 13, 2007 |
I think this presentation would have been great to see. I know in our school Facebook and You Tube are huge. 98% of our school uses it, including most teachers. It is a great way to keep in touch but also can come back and haunt you if you put to much information on it. I believe social networking is a great way for people to talk to each other and learn.
sassyhippo112 October 7, 2011 |
After reading this whole article I really think that having an online profile like Face book is a really good idea. I mean you can contact with people that you have not seen in a while, that is awesome. Plus it is a great way to communicate, instead of talking on the phone all you have to do is type a message or two to them and then they reply. An online profile can get you excepted into a great college all you need to do is be careful what you say. Maintain a good digital identity.
I totally agree with you.

Underinsured & Out of Time/
West Valley Shopping Center on River Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was home to Alexander Academy, a thriving cosmetology and barber school.
On the night of March 4, 2015, a four-alarm fire destroyed the entire shopping center, resulting in a total loss for not only the school's owner, Phyllis Gertsios, but her mother, who owned the plaza. Gertsios quickly discovered that her insurance policy would only cover a small percentage of the school's contents, which totaled more than $300,000.

Board Receives Feedback From Local Governments
The Congressional Members of the Board have aggressively pursued information from federal entities already engaged in oversight and local governments participating in the Census 2000 dress rehearsals and the pre-census address list review program, LUCA.
Beginning on June 3, the Board met on six occasions in 1998. Two of those meetings were held in Washington, DC. Two were held at Census Bureau headquarters in Suitland, Maryland. The Board also met at dress rehearsal sites in California and South Carolina, hearing testimony from Bureau employees, local officials and community leaders. In addition, Congressional Board staff twice visited the Menominee Reservation dress rehearsal site, the second time in the company of Presidential Board Member Lorraine Green and staff.

Seeds&Chips, a four days exhibition held in Milan last week, is the international summit dedicated to food innovation from farm to fork where food and technology meet. Hundreds of startups, companies, investors and policymakers met to discuss the issues of the food system.In case you missed the exhibition we've collected some of the most interesting technologies and companies changing the way food is produced, processed, distributed, consumed and disposed:
- Gotham Green - Brooklyn-based company that designs, builds and operates commercial-scale rooftop greenhouses. It provides its retail, restaurant, and institutional customers with year-round, local sustainably grown food. The company has built and operates over 170,000 square feet of technologically advanced, urban rooftop greenhouses across 4 facilities in New York City and Chicago.
- Infarm - Berlin based company focused on developing solutions for indoor vertical agriculture. They sell a range of modular, app-controlled, indoor hydroponic growing systems for a wide range of clients, from local restaurants to retailers. Its efficient use of resources and space resulting in highly-profitable, year-round production.
- Food Chain - The system tracks the history of the product with multimedia data at each step along the manufacturing process. This multimedia data is collected and sent to FoodChain that authenticates and stores information. In this way the manufacturing chain becomes more transparent and accessible for consumers. It provides them the information to more consciously select and buy products that better reflect their values.
- Last Minute Sotto Casa - The app is fighting food waste by linking merchants with food surpluses and customers in their vicinity. The merchant is able to quickly inform customers that are close to his store in real time when excess food is available at discounted prices. It is a win-win: stores can cash in money they wouldn't have gotten otherwise and customer gets a big discount on fresh products.
- FoodCloud - It is a social enterprise that has developed a unique solution that connects businesses with surplus food with charities in their local community that need it through a technology platform. Participating businesses can upload details of their surplus food and the time period in which the food can be collected. This goes as a text message to a local charity to inform them of the available food. The charity then collects this perfectly good food and gets it to people who need it.
Winnow was invited to present its cutting edge technology during the summit. Kevin Duffy, Winnow Co-Founder gave a presentation on the importance of measuring, managing and reducing food waste and how technology has transformed the way we prepare food:

Today I would like to talk about the critical differences between data, information and knowledge. This speaks to a pet peeve of mine: As educators we spend too much time passing on disciplinary content and too little on why we need to know such content and how we actually have come about to know it.
Data is sensory. Humans have five inputs - sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. We oftentimes supplement these senses through technology (microscopes, microphones, telescopes and telephones, for example.) The packets of sensory data we collect have to be made sense of. First we organize sensory data into patterns. Visual data, for example, is put together from the perception of such things as color, brightness and contrast to form visual patterned information. This allows us to conceptualize or give meaning to these visual patterns, which we call knowledge. We 're-cognize' our material surroundings. Our brains combine the new perceptions with what we have previously recognized (what we know) to allow us to perceive our environment.
So what does this have to do with education? Well, I think everything. Most generally education is the method by which we use to pass on cultural knowledge between generations. in order for successive generations to be culturally literate and thereby adaptive and successful, educators must pass on relevant traditional knowledge from previous generations and the rationale and method underlying the creation of this knowledge. if we see education as a means of primarily passing on cultural content in the form of data and information, then we are short-circuiting the education process. In my over 3 decades as an educator, content driven coursework continues to dominate higher education. Content driven 'learning' provides our generation's answers without revealing the questions that we posed and methods that were used to arrive at these answers. Answers in themselves are relatively meaningless without their methodological context. Knowing requires the ability to sense, organize and create, This is why many students only want to know facts that will be 'on the test.' They are looking for answers without knowing the questions.
Let me approach my argument from a different direction by citing Farmer/Philosopher/Educator Wendell Berry's "Paragraph's from a Notebook" in his 2015 book of Essays "Our Only World." He laments our educational propensity to overemphasize breaking things down in order to know things. In his terms, we analyze sensory perceptions to study their anatomy. He astutely notes that "(n)either (analysis or anatomy) suggests a respect for formal integrity and that this distracts us from 'learning or teaching a competent concern for the way parts are joined." Understanding the formal integrity of our environments is an essential aspect of knowing about them. We need to understand ecosystems not just eco-facts.
Berry concludes that we should turn to the Greek term for creating 'poeisis' (from the same root as poetry) as a way for understanding formal integrity and completing the educational cycle. Knowledge requires building and building requires creativity. In this way, all learners are poets.
Education to be complete must include a mix of passing on content (what we know) and building (why and how we know it). It requires an understanding that knowledge and its endgame cultural literacy is a creative process that requires moving from data to information to knowledge.

Luke 16:19-31
Does everyone go to Heaven? It's an honest question that preachers hear often, and sadly affirmed by many good intentional preachers heard at funerals. But is it good intentions or is it fear to tell the truth? See, I wish I could answer that question with a joyful Yes! "That all people go to Heaven." I know our Lord desires this……. "This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." 1 Tim 2:3-4. But the simple truth and reality is; that this is never going to happen, though we plead for this to happen. Why? Man love darkness rather than light and men love their sin too much to give it up. Again Jesus said these words "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matt 7:13-14. Heaven and Hell are both real, literal places. Sadly, many preachers shy away from uncomfortable topics such as hell. Some even teach "universalism" the belief that everyone goes to heaven. Yet Christ spoke about hell a great deal, as did Paul, Peter, John, Jude, and the writer of Hebrews. The Bible is clear that every person who has ever lived will spend eternity in either heaven or hell.
This brings me to my next question!
Is Hell real?
Do Christians really believe in it?
59 percent of people say Hell is not a real place! For this reason……Hell is not an easy belief to accept. C.S. Lewis said "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power. But it has the full support of Scripture and, specially, of Our Lord's own words; it has always been held by Christendom; and it has the support of reason." We don't want to talk about Hell because we don't want to associate this wicked place with a loving God who is good, pure and holy.
So we rationalize! Why would a loving God send people to hell forever? These and other questions about the doctrine of hell may not be pleasant to address, but they often come up as objections to Christianity, even puzzling Christians at times. But my question to you is this! What makes you think you and I don't deserve the flaming wrath of God in Hell? Especially what you might have said and did this past week. Hell is the eternal justice of God, reserved for the haters and rebellious.
Hell according to the scriptures is described as a place…..
Of everlasting punishment "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matt 25:46
Of intense suffering and pain "and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt 13:42
Of outer darkness "while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt 8:12
Prepared for the Devil and His fallen angels and haters of the truth of the gospel. "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." Matt 25:41
The Hell that Jesus describes is not a "Hell on earth" that accompanies our bad decisions during this life. It certainly isn't a party as AC DC describes it in their song. Hell is a place of punishment at the end of the age for "law breakers" who deny and refuse to submit to Jesus and the precious gospel. Do you know that Jesus spent more time talking about Hell then He did Heaven? R C Sproul quoted this statement on His Facebook page and one person's comment was "I wonder why churches today do not." And one person's response to that comment was "Pastors are afraid off offending people. More concerned with making money selling Jesus than being truthful." No Bible presenter places more stress on Hell as the final consequence of God's judgment of condemnation than Jesus did. God's Son, Jesus Christ was the great theologian of hell. And today we get front row seats to a testimony of an unconverted man who is in Hell. This passage is about a rich man who played the ultimate fool by indulging in his wealth, ignoring true faith in God and service to humanity, until he found himself in hell for his godless selfishness. This passage expresses the urgency we must have when we are faced with the truth of Heaven and Hell. This passage reminds us that the only way to escape such a place is the precious gospel truth of salvation only found in Christ alone. So lets us dive into this account of two men penned by Luke. And learn what Jesus wants us to learn from this encounter. Because! This passage seems much like a parable, but it is not specifically called that. Reason being this encounter has a name, where Jesus' parables don't. And because like all parables taught by Jesus there is a lesson to be learned.
We see two types of people (v19-v21)
A rich man who had everything and more so. He is dressed in fine apparel…colored in purple which is most esteemed colour to wear. It was the colour of kings and we are told he feasted "sumptuously every day"(v19). So the picture that Jesus paints is one of a man who extremely wealthy. Then we see A poor man who has a name "Lazarus" who had nothing, but his name means "God has helped". But let's not mistake this is not the Lazarus who died and came back in John 11. He was man with opens sores that oozed continually. Possibly because of malnutrition which resulted in weeping ulcers. He was a man who had no job and was reduced to begging for food and money and had to be "cast down or laid at the gate" of the rich man. And every day he would lay at the gate of this rich man's house hoping for one thing "..to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table." (v21) . And the only thing he received was the man's dogs coming over to lick his oozing sores. It would seem the unclean dogs had more compassion for him, than from the rich man.
What do we learn about these two people? First! The rich man was self-focused that never acknowledges once this beggar who lay at his gate to his home. And what makes it even worse he knew him, despite never helping him. Why do I say that (v24) "…send Lazarus" This rich man was phony or a fake "so called man of God" Mike your saying "He professes to believe in God?" Yes, he makes that assumption! (v24) "Father Abraham have mercy on me" By saying that he seems to consider himself a son of Abraham and a blessed member of God's people. If that was so which we know it isn't!
How could someone who loves God be so heartless to those less unfortunate? This man wasn't claiming Atheist status, or claimed to be a Sadducee. This was a man who would have affirmed the "Torah" and understood that after death came judgement. Jesus told this story to help the Pharisees to see who they have become, to see themselves more clearly. Why? (v14-v15) "The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. And he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God."
What is the lesson we learn from this portion of this letter? The self-righteous man or woman have no place in Heaven, but have placed reserved in Hell. It doesn't matter how religious or how much wealth one has when it comes to entering the Kingdom. To show mercy and compassion is far more important than legalistic performance. Understand this! We can never please God without a merciful spirit. These are factors that contribute, but this isn't what keeps this man from entering that rest in Heaven. What keeps a man or woman out of Heaven is disregarding God's word and his or her rejection of the Lord and the gospel of our salvation.
We see two types of locations and states of mind (v22-v26)
It says the when the beggar died the angels carried him to "Abraham's bosom" The phrase "the bosom of Abraham "was common to the Jews. It was a metaphor for Heaven, because Abraham was the father of the faithful and the one whom God made an everlasting covenant with. To be close and nested to Abraham was to be in the very presence of Heaven. Jesus said " I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven," Matt 8:11. We need to understand! Lazarus was not justified by poverty! Meaning having no money doesn't mean you have a ticket to Heaven. No he was a man who accepted his suffering without bitterness, complaint or hostility. He was a godly man who had been faithful in the little things and trusted in God's goodness. Like the parable of the 10 minas "And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'" Luke 19:17. The rich man resides in "Hades" a terrible place, so terrible he begs Abraham to send Lazarus to his family. The word "Hades" means or can be translated "Hell" literally a dark, obscure place; the place where departed spirits go, but especially the place where "wicked" spirits go. In this place of torment he could see Abraham and he could also see the man who he never looked upon or helped as he came and went every day from his palace. The rich man claimed he was in deep anguish and pain. (v24)
R C Sproul said in his commentary "Talk about wretchedness! This wealthy man was not asking to have restored to him his palace and power. He was asking only that the miserable beggar, Lazarus would dip his finger in water, and just touch the tip of his tongue. He was in such torment that he would have given everything or done anything he could, just to be at the gates of his own house, having dogs lick his wounds."
What I find amazing is the response of Abraham. He answers the rich man request with such gentleness and truth that has eternal implications. (v25-v26) Abraham calls his "Child or son" This reveals the heart of God that He takes no pleasure in the perishing of the wicked. "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?" Eze 18:23. It's like watching your son or daughter on drugs who will never respond to help before they died…… And then it's too late. Abraham says…..Do you remember when you received your good things while Lazarus received bad things? Do you recall hearing a very important person say "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. "Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. "Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. "Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets." Luke 6:24-26
Have you forgotten you had many opportunities to seek the need of Lazarus and refused to even give him the time of day? Have you forgotten that you bought the number one bestselling so called Christian book and you've already had your best life now? Have you forgotten you loved the world so much you married it and dressed yourself for her in fine linen that was draped in purple? Have you forgotten your rebellious heart to the God who gave you air so you could breathe? Your time is up and you know will face your sin for all eternity under the torment of God's perfect and holy wrath. Lazarus is in a place of rest and eternal joy found in God's grace and the same is for us who have been transformed by the gospel.
The warning goes to us as well! The rich man is forever in torment and is face to face with his sin for all eternity and he will wish for mountains to crush him all because of his rebellion and disobedience to the gospel. (Rev 6:16). The rich man realizing there is no hope for him and he begins to fear and feel the pressure of others who are just like him. Here is where things get really serious.
There is only one great concern (v27)
The ruling is final and devastating for those who reside in this place. This is not a place for the living to come to, and it sure is not a place where I want my family to be. Why? This man is begging for someone to go tell his family who still walk the earth with the breath that God gives them. What is the answer given to this request? (v29-v31). They had the prophets to show them the truth of eternal life, because even the Jews (many Jews) believed in Hell. Daniel wrote these words "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." Dan 12:2. This story that Jesus told removes all ideas, theories and claims of a "purgatory" This is it for this rich man, and his pain is only beginning for all eternity. There is no soul sleep our hopes of getting out when you're dead by the prayers and indulgences of others. One man went straight into Abraham's bosom and the other man went straight in to Hades to wait final judgement and the lake of fire. Remember the men who hung with Jesus "One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:39-43
The only reasonable conclusion is that our Lord related this incident to bring clearly before us the importance of being right with God in this world in order that we might enjoy His favor in the world to come. This is why the gospel is so crucial in our homes, churches and in our own individual lives. These two places are real and sadly apart from the gospel and the work of the Spirit we are fighting an uphill battle for the Kingdom of God. Not because you're not eloquent enough or a great theologian, but because men love darkness rather than light.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed." John 3:16-20
Eternal life is only found in Christ. "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5:11-12). The truth is, if we wish to live apart from God during our time on earth, He will grant us our wish for eternity as well. As one pastor appropriately said, "If you board the train of unbelief, you will have to take it all the way to its destination." This was the train the rich man was on and for him it cost him everything.
What train are you on?

A couple weeks ago, I welcomed my sister at the Barcelona airport, the fourth and final member of my family to visit me in Spain! The first few days, as she recovered from jet lag and I finished my final shifts of work, we stayed in Barcelona – cycling around the city, enjoying a picnic and open-air cinema at Castell de Montjuïc (which offers an amazing vista overlooking the city and the sea), delicious Neapolitan pizza and of course, craft beer. But after a few days in Barcelona, we embarked on the real meat and potatoes part of her visit – cycling the last 250 km of the Camino del Norte from Luarca to Santiago de Compostela.
As the Wikipedia story goes, Santiago de Compostela became an important Christian pilgrimage site after the remains of apostle Saint James were discovered there in the 9th century. The Camino de Santiago or Way of St. James, which denotes several different routes culminating in Santiago, became increasingly well travelled in the Middle Ages as it was means for pilgrims to earn indulgences. However, supposedly the camino's origins date back much earlier than this widely known history indicates. As early as 1000 BC, Celtic pagans travelled this route, then known as Via Finisterre, in search of the land's end (as the name suggests) and the sun's resting place as a born again ritual. Rather interesting.
While there are several caminos originating from different locations, the Camino del Norte starts in Irú and follows the northern coast of Spain through the Basque Country, Cantabria, Austurias and Galicia.
Barcelona – Luarca (by bus)
Travelling with bikes proved to be a bit of a hassle, unless of course we were riding them. Not only did the bus company require us to pay a 15 euro charge to transport each bike, but upon arriving at the bus terminal, they also required us to pay 12 euros each for a bike bag. But at this point, what other choice did we have?
A long 15 hour journey through Lleida, Zaragoza, Burgos, León and Ovieda, drifting back and forth between sleep and snacks. Met a Belgian guy on the bus who had walked the Camino del Norte three years ago, and now embarking on the journey again, starting in Gijon. So, there must be something to this camino business, or at least something a bit addictive…
Luarca greeted us with typical weather – rain and rather cool, and we both wondered if we'd packed appropriately – definitely a contrast to the scorching temperatures in Barcelona. Re-assembled the bikes, warmed up with a cup of chocolate and headed to the first albergue we saw.
An albergue is the type of accommodation you find along the camino – cheap (usually about 6 euros a bed), anywhere from 12 to 60 pilgrims or peregrinos in a room (so sometimes a symphony of snoring to listen to through the night), basic yet all the essentials. At our first one, in Luarca, we obtained our pilgrim's credentials and got our first stamp!
At the albergue, we met a 16 year old guy from Olot (a city in Catalonia). Our conversation began when he asked me if he could cook rice in the microwave. I wasn't sure but gave an encouraging response. He'd been walking the camino for 16 days, starting in San Sebastian. With dismal summer job prospects (remember Spain's unemployment rates), why not walk the camino? With just a couple hundred euros in his pocket and needing to make it last the trip (and too proud to ask his parents to send him more), he hadn't eaten the day before and had camped in the forest the previous night, or at least tried to. Woken up by rain, he fled to the awning of a shop. He was getting tired he said and had 10 days left and wasn't sure if he would finish. Not sure if he did, but I sort of think so.
That night, as with almost every night, we anxiously awaited the re-opening of restaurants around 8 PM. Appropriately, we went to a sideria and had some local cider with croquetas de jamon and a board of different Austurian cheeses and some apple jam. We even had some leftovers to take on the trail with us. Early to bed, early to rise – we wanted to get a nice early start for our first day – a bit nervous or at least uncertain of what it would hold.

You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14-16) [sermon 12-16-18]Leave a comment
December 17, 2018 by jmar198013
Jesus says the church is the light of the world. We're supposed to shine, so that others see the good we do and glorify God. But we often don't feel like the light. Because we know the dark places we've been, and the darkness that dwells in us. In this message, we look to a fun source for tips on how to be the light of the world: fireflies.Advertisements

The statistics main office began to collect statistical data from the parliamentary elections immediately after the first election, held in 1907. As a result of the insufficient orders and the central election committees' inexperience in their responsibilities, the statistics were imperfectly combined. As a result, no statistical data on women using their right to vote is available from the first parliamentary election. The gender distribution is also lacking. The turnout percentage was 70.7%.
Prior to Finland's independence, the Emperor ordered an extraordinary parliamentary election almost annually. The frequency of the parliamentary elections decreased the eagerness to vote. Voting turnout was at an all-time low in 1913. The Parliament was considered powerless and easily replaced. Women's voting turnout also hit a trough in 1913, with only 46.7% of women using their right to vote.
The change is substantial in comparison with the voting behaviour of the election organised in October 1917. Voter enthusiasm was higher due to the weakening of Russia's grasp on Finland, particularly because the Power Act had granted Parliament the highest decision-making power in July 1917, while foreign policy and military matters were left to the Russian government. The winds of freedom were blowing.
In the first Parliamentary election of independent Finland, in 1919, the total voter turnout stood at 67.1%; being 65.1% for women and 69.5% for men. In-between the two world wars, the voter enthusiasm between men and women evened out slightly.
The election in 1945 was a starting point for a long period of active voter turnout. Factors increasing the activity included the general atmosphere after the war, the tensions in domestic affairs, the grown number of voting districts and the spreading of the mass communication. It has been estimated that the record-high voter turnout of the 1962 election was influenced by factors such as the Note Crisis. Women's voting activity continued to grow. Since the 1987 election, women's voter enthusiasm has exceeded that of men's.
In 1907–1954, the list voting system was applied in Finland. A voter would not vote for an individual candidate, but the party instead. Before the election, the party had placed its candidates on the list in a certain order based on its own member vote or similar. When counting the votes, the candidates were elected in the order they were placed on the list.
Since 1955, the current system of a combined individual and party voting elections system has been used. The voter casts a vote for one candidate and, as the candidate usually stands for a party, the vote is allocated to the party, too.
The Statistical Office did not record the number of female candidates in the 1907–1919. In the 1922–1936 elections, the female number of candidates reached the highest rate, at 8.3%, in 1927. The low count of female candidates was constantly highlighted in elections statistics, because there were more eligible female than male voters. In the 1936 election there were 1,072 eligible women voters per 1,000 male voters.
Before the World Wars, it was the practice not to nominate several female candidates in order to have at least one woman elected. On the other hand, there was a shortage of female candidates ‑ a woman's place was still at home. However, it was almost the norm to have at least one female candidate for each electoral district.
After the wars, the percentage of women in candidates started to grow. Still, to this day, the proportion of women candidates does not correspond with the share of women among eligible voters. In the 2019 parliamentary election, women made up 42.0 per cent of the candidates, even though 51.4 per cent of eligible voters are women.
Figure 2. Proportion of female candidates, %Data from 1939, 1945 and 1948 unavailable. Detailed number data in
the AppendixThe proportion of votes cast for women has been recorded in the 1954–2007 elections. However, as early as 1927 the Election statistics concludes, on the basis of observing the number of female Members of Parliaments:
"The female voters, despite a majority by numbers, has in rather scarce numbers taken advantage of the opportunity, as laid down in the Elections Act, to choose a representative of the same sex."
In the moment of voting, the vote is always cast to a male or female candidate. It is more common to vote one's own sex among men than it is among women. According to studies (e.g. Holli & Wass, 2010), women vote for women increasingly often. In the 1970 election, 40 per cent of female voters gave their vote to women; in the 2007 election, the figure stood at 52 %.
No similar study has yet been completed of the 2019.

Another painting in my google street view series. Three men walking slowly along the sidewalk, too hot to go any quicker. I rearranged the men a little to give a more balanced composition, I really enjoy looking for people or scenes to paint using google street view, this is obviously not in the smartest neighbourhood but I just liked the cast shadows on the wall, also the men are light against dark and then dark against light.

The employment market in Australia continues to be impacted negatively by both global and domestic economic conditions. China continues to slow slightly, the US continues to grow at a moderate pace, and the Euro area remains in recession with some signs of stabilisation. Accordingly, domestic economic conditions have been dramatically impacted by the slowdown in the mining sector, with Western Australia and Queensland experiencing significantly changed market conditions. In many of the major mining businesses, leadership teams have changed and the focus has shifted to tighter capital management and cost control. This shift of focus has further compounded the overall slowdown in the sector and this is flowing through to the broader economy, lowering confidence levels and further weakening the employment market. These weaker conditions and lower confidence levels, combined with the ongoing strength of the Australian dollar relative to historical standards, supported the Reserve Bank of Australia's recent decision to cut interest rates to the lowest level seen for many years in an attempt to stimulate growth. Accordingly, wage growth is expected to be moderate with average salary increases in line with inflation. In these market conditions, businesses need to remain focused on talent management to ensure their best employees are retained as conditions improve.

Nomad's 8 day Lesotho, Addo and Drakensberg tour – Part Two
Day three of the tour was a long driving day as we made our way to Lesotho. We crossed from the KwaZulu Natal Province to the Free State Province in South Africa. We drove through one of South Africa's untouched and I think most beautiful national parks – the Golden Gate National Park – it's name came about from the sunsets and sunrises in the area, when the sun shone on the rocks it reflected a golden colour.
Stunning mountain cliff formations and the various layers of the rock could be seen as the colours changed from layer to layer. There is a pass in the park where we reached the height of 2041m. It was a quick drive through the park before lunch was served, we still had to get through the border. Rimson, our guide, found a comfortable grassy space and we all got out and started helping with the lunch preparations. The camping chairs were stored underneath the truck and the Nomad family helped with setting them out and taking the table out – which is stored in the back of the truck where we clean, wash and cut the fruits and vegetables. It is actually quite amazing how much Ella, the truck, could hold and store within her.
The border crossing process lasted about 45minutes. On the Lesotho side there was a man and this huge book where he wrote all of the foreign nationalities details from their full name, passport number, date of birth, expiry and necessary information. On the South African side a simple scan of the passport was efficient with high tech (relative to Lesotho only) scanners. One of the travellers on tour had quite a long name, Gerarda Williamena Maria Cloudmans so the gentleman was in a troubled spot as he tried to fit her entire name into a small block and still needed to fill in her other information – this was quite amusing for us. For South African travellers, there was just a simple stamp and I moved on, back to the truck. Benefits of having a South African passport – moving faster in queues when travelling in Africa.
Dumelo – greetings in Basotho. The Kingdom of Lesotho, land of Basotho culture, a landlocked country in the centre of South Africa. I found the people to be very caring, friendly and proud of their nation. When you see photos of Lesotho, a common picture are the men wearing colourful woollen blankets and grass hats in the fields. Before entering Malealea we stopped for a photo stop on the rim of the valley which was called Gates of Paradise (2001m high). It is the gateway to the Malealea valley which is in the remote part of western Lesotho.
On arrival at the Malealea lodge, we were informed that there was a generator for electricity from 5pm to 10pm so torches or headlamps are a must to bring along to find your way through the night. Our cook headed straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner. After dinner, we played Uno and headed to our rooms for an early start of more adventure.
Today Ella rested again. We could choose from a selection of hikes according to our fitness and a group of us headed to the Botsoela Waterfall Hike. This is about a four hour hike down into the base of the valley along a river bed. It was raining for a few days so the rocks were wet and slippery so I slid around in the mud quite a lot which was all part of the adventure. A hat, raincoat, sunscreen, water and snacks again were important on this route. Depending on the number of hours hiked the fee is paid to the local Basotho guide. Pony trekking is another activity that is well known and can be done in the valley.
Luckily, the weather held up for us but as we headed up the valley it starting drizzling. After lunch a visit to the Malealea village was organised. Three Basotho's took us into their village and showed us their local store, shops, craft centre, school and museum which was housed in a traditional Basotho hut.
Heading back to the lodge, in the games centre, the Malealea City Choir (MCC) sang a few songs and then a local music band called Sotho Sounds entertained us, using their home constructed instruments. It was a great way to interact with the locals by dancing to the rythyms of the Malealea. Great fun was had by all as we joined in with dancing to the African beats.
I awoke to the sounds of peacocks calling each other so it was a great African wake up call. At breakfast, the sun rose above the valley and the two male peacocks were actually doing a face-off against each other showing off to the female who was not interested as she was nowhere to be seen. Typical men haha!
After our 6am breakfast, we drove out of the valley passing Basotho children going to school waving and shouting hello to us. This day was another long distance driving day as we needed to make our way to Hogsback. Passing van Rooyens border post, the town of Wepener and road works you could expect to have delays of up to 30 minutes. We passed through Aliwal North, stopped at Queenstown for a break and on to the town of KathKath where we took a gravel road – like our guide said – Ella was going for an African massage – as the truck usually experiences big bumps on the gravel roads.
As we proceeded, we could see mist hovering over the hills in front of us. As we popped over the top of the hill, we could see a valley filled with mist and trees – it was a forest of the unknown ahead – a tranquil chill hung in the air. We entered deeper into the magical forest to our lodge. I can see where Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings author, found his inspiration. We continued to meander through the green lush forests, eventually reaching the quaint town of Hogsback. A mysterious town with a restaurant called 'Enchanting Eatery'; hair studio called 'Hair on the Hogs'; a hostel called 'Away with the fairies'; chalets called 'Never Daunted' and a whole lot more! Well, at least the place where we were staying sounded a little more realistic, Kings Lodge, it definitely lived up to its name! A warm and extra comfortable bed, what more could I ask for more!
At Kings lodge, there is a fireplace in the reading room combined with a pool table and an outside deck to enjoy the sunshine. Some of us played card games and others became amateur to intermediate pool players. Dinner was served inside and again, Rimson's food was delicious! After dinner, we were briefed on the activities we could do the following day.
After breakfast, we walked through the town, only realising then that the town of Hogsback sleeps on a Tuesday as it is their day of break from being open throughout the weekend. Reaching Hogsback Arboretum we strolled through the Garden of Trees from all over the world including 5 Californian Redwoods over 100 years old. It was a gentle walk to the beautiful 39 Steps Waterfall.
Hogsback is nestled on the slopes of the Amatola Mountains with centuries old forests around you – magical forests making it a place I will return to very soon.
Next, we move further into the Eastern Cape, stay tuned for my next update!

TIME: China Has Promised to Crack Down on Fentanyl. Here's What That Could Mean for Overdose Deaths in the U.S.
As part of a wide-ranging deal between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, China has reportedly pledged to designate the potent synthetic opioid fentanyl and similar drugs as controlled substances, subjecting those who sell them to harsher punishments and potentially slowing their flow into the U.S.
Last month, a Congressional commission said China — which it previously called the "largest source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-like substances in the United States" — was not doing enough to stop the drug and its related analogs from reaching U.S. borders. The Trump Administration has also made it a priority to crack down on the flow of fentanyl-like substances from China, which may enter the country either directly through the mail, or indirectly via cartels.
That confusion aside, one major question remains: whether the policy will even help curtail record-high drug overdose deaths in the United States, more of which than ever involve fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.
Fentanyl overdoses are "still increasing and show few signs of falling down, so whatever we can do on that front to really stem the supply, almost all of which is from illicit manufacturing, should be helpful and impactful," Haffajee says.
Indeed, fentanyl — which is 80 to 100 times stronger that morphine, and is increasingly turning up in supplies of drugs such as heroin and cocaine — has been implicated in a growing number of overdoses. Federal data released last week says more than 70,000 people died of drug overdoses last year, and the rate of fatal overdoses involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl increased by 45% between 2016 and 2017. All told, synthetic opioids were involved in approximately 30,000 overdose deaths in 2017 — so reducing their presence in the U.S. should be a priority, Haffajee says.
"The DEA is hopeful this action taken in China will deliver a major blow to the high volume of fentanyl related overdoses that have occurred in the United States over the last 4-5 years and result in a major decline of such deaths," Patterson says.
Leo Beletsky, a professor of law and health sciences at Northeastern University and an expert on opioids, is less optimistic. "I expect that this will result in many speeches and press releases, but beyond that, I don't think it will result in much," Beletsky says.
"Just trying to shut down supply routes is something that has proved completely ineffective," Beletsky says. "You have to address the underlying drivers of that demand. We have to make sure that people who are either dependent on opioids for pain, or who are addicted to opioids, are able to get the care that they need through our healthcare system. We also should figure out why people need opioids in the first place and address those problems as well: things like under-treated physical pain, untreated or under-treated emotional pain, economic and social factors that have been driving people to opioid use."
Haffajee agrees that solving the problem will be more complicated than a single policy shift, requiring strategies that range from addressing the reasons that people seek out illicit drugs in the first place to better prediction, detection and interception of new narcotics.
The agreement with China "is not going to be a panacea," Haffajee says. "It could significantly help, but we need to have a panoply of different interventions and policies to try to attack this from all fronts, because it really is out of control and I think it could be continue to be if we don't really, aggressively address it."

Taking on New York: Part 4
Since this is a storied series, I want to link the first 3 installments here: Journey to New York - Part 1, Journey to New York - Part 2, Taking on New York - Part 3.
And the next installment, Taking on New York - Part 5.
Day three:
At 4am on July 13th, I wake up to pee.
I was using my flashlight so I didn't run into anything when I saw our host, sitting cross-legged on the couch, staring straight forward.
I jumped when I saw him and said "Oh, I'm sorry. Hey!" *waving*
Like, maybe that sounds small. But at 4am, when he's staring at you, motionless with dead eyes, you really need to pee, the bathroom is past him, your precious husband doesn't wake up easily, and this is his house-a strange space to you, it's just creepy af. On bone-chilling levels.
So I swiftly walked past him to the bathroom, pee, and stood at the bathroom door pumping myself up to swiftly walk past him again to the bedroom.
Back in the bedroom I told Trey what just happened and that I no longer felt comfortable there.
He wasn't thrilled because that means more money to go somewhere else and the hassle of moving, but he understood and we decided to figure it out in the morning.
So, 8:45 rolled around and we decided to book a hotel, for a crap-ton of money. And a lifetime worth of peace.
I'd also confirmed I definitely had flea bites. Which means he wasn't medicating his dog with flea prevention. So, yay. I wanted to get rid of these fleas before we got to our hotel and we had to wash some clothes anyway.
That meant our morning was spent packing, dragging our luggage to a laundromat, and washing clothes.
We finally made it to the hotel and it was amazing! We were at Hotel Boutique at Grand Central.
Literally a few blocks from Grand Central and a block away from a 99c pizza place!
It was nicer than any hotel I'd ever been in and CLEAN!
Having a nice place to sleep at night made the days spent in New York feel better, more relaxing, and fun!
We shower in our super pretty bathroom and head out to SoHo.
We basically spent time walking around SoHo, Chinatwon, and Litlle Italy, taking in our surroundings and just enjoying being in that space.
Oh, and we bought me some Croc flip flops because I could not walk another mile in the shoes I brought. My feet hurt so bad I wanted to cry!
Those Croc flip flops were on sale for $20 and instantly made my feet 1,000 times happier!
That evening we ate dinner at Kazuza, a middle eastern restaurant with hookah in the Village.
Having dinner in a middle eastern restaurant with fantastic hookah was one of Trey's goals for New York!
Kazuza was amazing. We had really good food and the shisha bowl was a cored pineapple. Then we were given shots, on the house! As if the hookah and food wasn't good enough!
P.S. I kept seeing this artist, Hektad's, work everywhere. Notice the first heart I saw by him above.
It was a nice little date night in the Village. And the Village was so pretty, happy, alive, and wonderful. They were our kinda people!
Our first night in the hotel was amazing! We slept so good with the ac and clean room!
Day four: MET Day!!!
This day was one of the most anticipated days for me! I got to spend a whole freaking day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I was going to spend one day, open to close nearly, in one of the best museums.
It was everything.
The art was incredible.
The history was fascinating.
The paintings and sculptures featuring women moved me.
The paintings of Jesus moved me.
I loved this one in particular because it was very scandalous for its day for being realistic vs idealistic.
I always like a good upset of culture with reality!
Around this time I got a Facebook message from the photographer we would be trading photoshoots with tomorrow.
She is having an allergic reaction and wants to move to Sunday.
Of course, automatically all of my senses are telling me she might bail completely.
But we reschedule for Sunday and keep on with our day at the MET.
I won't let her ruin the most amazing day!
A fashion exhibit. I probably spent two hours in an 1,500 square foot area. Just photographing and staring at every piece.
The MET filled my soul.
We headed back to the hotel and had pizza and wine for dinner.
Day five:
Saturday, July 15th we were shopping in New York thrift stores for our photoshoot later that evening.
I thought the Goodwill's on the Upper East Side would be incredible, but they weren't.
They were like every other goodwill on earth.
So I gave up and went to another locally owned thrift store.
It was super cute, but I didn't find the thing for our photoshoot.
Then we decided it was kind of a lost cause and we didn't want to waste an entire day shopping.
So, we went to Central Park to relax and recharge.
There were people biking, relaxing, running, and even an adorable pregnant couple taking their own portraits. The guy was taking his girls photos and then would set up the camera and get in a few shots himself.
I wanted to offer to take a few for them but I didn't want to scare them or anything.
From there we took the subway to Columbus Circle and the edge of Central Park, which was beautiful.
Then we hit up another thrift store that I was specifically looking forward to, Beacon's Closet.
Now that place was awesome! Not the kind of place where I'd find a nice dress for a photoshoot, but a place full of funky and awesome wardrobe pieces.
I spent a few hours in there and I wish I could've spent more time.
But they closed, so I kinda had to leave.
Since my store closed and I had to leave, we decided to go to Washington Square Park which was my favorite!!!
Talk about a fabulous place!
People everywhere, doing anything and everything.
Just check it out for yourself!
After dark we went back to our hotel and got ready to go to another pub Trey wanted to go to.
On the way through the subway, we heard the most beautiful music echoing and we kept thinking "are they playing music in the subway?"
And then it clicked, this was a street artist playing his music.
We followed the sound until we found him, and I just kinda stood there in amazement.
This man was so good. I never wanted to stop hearing him play. I wanted to buy a CD with his music, I wanted it on Google Play.
But instead, I just recorded this little video.
This pub was so pubish it was amazing!
I didn't really like the exploited barmaids, but the food and beer was legit and good!
You could order a whole pint, which was way too much for two miserably exhausted people. But we had fun!
We head home at a decent hour, excited about church in NYC and ready for our photo shoot that was supposed to happen Sunday.
But if you haven't figured out yet, things aren't always going as planned with this trip. So, we'll see about that photo shoot.

I25 Espresso Bar – Blessington Street St Kilda
I25 Espresso Bar – Blessington Street St Kilda
- Rate for Kick!
A reassuring 3.. not too bitter a rather friendly warm coffee.
- Rate for Flavour
A flavour that doesn't overwhelm.
- Rate for Barista enthusiasm
Our man seems like a seasoned local who remembers everyone.
- My Experience
We found i25 one day early in the New Year when we were walking the dogs back from the dog park and had to navigate a series of friendly pooches to find a seat. It's that kind of place, old school chairs (literally, not old skool) and an assortment of tables that's a bit like playing musical chairs. If something better frees up someone will always move along to fill the different space.
I have since made 125 a bit of a regular I confess, the company, the ambience and the friendly faces make this a nice reassuring hangout just minutes from Acland street with out the tourists. It also is conveniently on the way back from the peanut farm dog park where I can drop in with my dogs without anyone getting too upset about Basho's occasional emotional outbursts at the sight of a Pug (his nemesis).
This tolerance is what St Kilda is all about it extends to people as well and i25 has a local feel, to keep the homey feel the also offer exceptionally good value breakfast and lunch dishes, from croissants to jaffles, eggs in a pan and a delicious muesli among other things all whipped up in a tiny kitchen.
