Our personal information handling practices
If you are a Hello Uni customer or potential customer, we will collect and hold personal information about you, such as your name, address and contact information (including email address).

If you do not wish to receive product information, you will need to email us informing us of this and we will comply with your wishes promptly. Hello Uni will also collect additional information from anyone who deals with us as a result of use of our websites. This additional information may or may not identify you.

Generally, we will only collect sensitive information (such as financial information) if you consent and it is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of our functions. Sometimes we may collect sensitive personal information without your consent, such as when it is required or authorised by a law, or court or tribunal order. This includes express statutory provisions, as well as the more general application of the common law. We will not collect any personal information if we do not need it. When we collect personal information, we will notify you of a number of matters if it is reasonable to do so. These matters include the purposes for which we collect the information, whether the collection is required or authorised by law, and any person or body to whom we usually disclose the information. To achieve this, we will mainly use privacy collection notices on our forms and online portals.
Use and disclosure of personal information
We will not give your personal information to other entities, organisations or anyone else unless you consent or one of the following exceptions applies:
Data security

We also ensure that access to your personal information within our systems is only available to our staff who need to have access in order to do their work. If a data breach occurs, such as if personal information that we hold is subject to unauthorised loss, use or disclosure, we will respond in line with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's Data breach notification—A guide to handling personal information security breaches. We will aim to provide timely advice to you to ensure you are able to manage any loss—financial or otherwise—that could result from the breach. When the personal information that we collect is no longer required, we delete or destroy it in a secure manner, unless we are required to maintain it because of a law, or court or tribunal order.
Quality of personal information
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is safe and secure, accurate, up-to-date, and complete. This may include correcting your personal information where it is appropriate to do so.

When we can refuse a request for access or correction
We reserve the right to decline your request to access, or correct, personal information that we hold about you under certain circumstances. This includes situations where we are authorised or required to refuse access.

"Hey mom, can you make a treat for me to take to my Young Women's group tonight", " Sure honey, what time do you need to be there?" , "In 15 minutes!". Okay, can't bake, don't have any pre-packaged anything in my house, fruit? Not unless I want to make my daughter look bad. So…. Hmmm… what can I pull off in ten minutes? " Can you make some popcorn ?". "I can do better than that sweetie pie, much better".
And so it was… A delicious kettle corn whipped up at the last minute and I have to say…"salty, sweet, loving heavenly crunch". What a yummy treat! You really gotta try this one for a last minute, gotta have a treat.
Hey, it worked for me :)
Last Minute Olive Oil Kettle Corn
1/3 cup white popcorn kernels
3 Tablespoons EVOO
2 Tablespoons Butter (optional)
½ cup cane sugar
Sea salt to sprinkle
1. Toss the EVOO in a large pot (you must have a fitting lid made of glass), and toss the popcorn in.
2. Heat over a medium/high flame until the popcorn starts popping. When the bottom of the pot is covered with popped kernels, very carefully open the pot and pour in sugar (Warning: this is scary, because some of the popping corn will escape.
3. The popping will start to slow a bit and that's normal. When popping picks up, drop the flame to medium/low. With the cover still on, move the pot over the flame with a back and forth motion.
4. Continue moving pot until popping slows down. Quickly remove from heat as the sugar continues cooking and will easily burn.
5. Stir in melted butter and sprinkle with salt.

Jimmy John's
It would be a 19-year-old with two first names that would answer America's cry for lunch, Jimmy John Liautaud. Jimmy knew that if he kept it simple he could create the world's greatest gourmet sandwich. We currently have over 1600 stores open. What makes Jimmy John's different from the rest is that it's honest, it's damn good, it's damn fast, at a decent price! Jimmy John's definition of fresh is worlds apart from everyone else's. Bread is baked in-house every day and served fresh. Meat and veggies are sliced fresh in-house every day. The turkey is real turkey, the roast beef is real roast beef - no additives, no vegetable-based fillers, no fake stuff. Nothing is delivered pre-sliced. Real Hellmann's mayo, real Grey Poupon, real olive oil and red wine vinegar - it's the best of the best. With perfect bread, systems in place, spectacular employees and leaders who lead and don't pass the buck, Jimmy John's box rocks. The culture that was created in the restaurants is the same culture that drives the corporate office. "Make a deal, keep a deal" is the Golden Rule. Do it now - make it happen - be a go-getter, no excuses. Jimmy John's employees are the ordinary people doing extraordinary things. They want to be the best. They don't mind doing whatever it takes to get the job done. Their hustle is part of how they live their daily lives, and they enjoy the fruits of a hard-earned entrepreneurial lifestyle. Once again, Jimmy John's wants only the best for the best.

Because Toco and its affiliated companies handle all sales, finance, administration and the insurance backing the plans, we're able to offer you the maximum amount of coverage based on your car's mileage and age, while still keeping fees affordable. And because we believe in educating our customers, we make it easy to understand what your plan covers so there's no surprises down the road. Located in sunny California, we're passionate about serving our customers. Just like the Toco toucan, our team is a spirited, fun and creative bunch of people dedicated to providing helpful, friendly customer service.

In the 2007-08 season, Marchesi played in 38 games tallying 2 goals and 9 assists for 11 points while compiling a +5 plus/minus rating and 62 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2-inch defensemen also finished third among Pioneer defensemen in scoring. He was a two time All-Atlantic Hockey selection and an assistant captain during his junior and senior seasons.
Atlanta's first preseason game is scheduled for September 26 at St. Louis. For more information on the team's training camp Click Here.

How to Automate Your Budgeting & Forecasting Processes
Your creditors would love it if you set up automatic payments each month on all of your accounts. This ensures the creditors that they will consistently get their money each month but does it give you the same peace of mind?
If you do not have a steady income where you get paid relatively the same amount each week or biweekly, you may find it difficult to set up payments at the same time each month. You may not be able to meet payment deadlines at the same time each month. A resolution to this particular situation is to speak directly with your creditor and see what kind of flexibility they can offer to you. You might be able to move some due dates to help you out. Work with your payment schedules and don't give up totally the idea of automating all of your budgeting & forecasting processes.
If your income does make it easy to automate your budgeting and forecasting processes, whether with the support of a TM1 consultant or on your own, here are a few tips you can use to implement the new system:
Setting Up Auto Payments:
Most consumer bank accounts allow you to set up and make online payments directly from your checking account via their website. Other creditors will allow you to set up automatic payments from their website, using your credit card or bank information. It depends on your own comfort about which system works better for your financial management concerns. However, you might find that using the automatic budgeting & forecasting system through your bank gives you more control over your money and due dates than the creditor websites will allow.
Set Up Auto Deposits:
If you have the option through your employer to have your check direct deposited each pay week, you should take advantage of the service. Most companies will allow you to divide up your paycheck into different accounts, allowing you to save more money and leave you less likely to spend the cash had you had it in your hand. In this case, the theory of out-of-sight-out-of-mind can help your finances.
Set Up Auto Investments:
Just like you would use a direct deposit into your savings and checking accounts, you can also direct money to go directly from your paycheck into your 401k. The funds invested are automatically deducted on a pre-tax basis. You can also direct deposit money into a CD account or a Money Market account. This helps you save without thought or much effort.
Automating your budgeting & forecasting processes can really make a difference when your finances and trying to save cash. Since there is no additional effort involved on your part, you don't have worry about physically making the deposits or be tempted to spend your money elsewhere rather than saving it for a greater purpose.

The Difference between Narrative and Story
The words "Narrative" and "Story" are often used interchangeably, but they are not synonymous.
A Narrative is a set of event-types and ideas, typically related and selected for thematic purposes but not necessarily sequential nor dramatic. It is open-ended. Narratives involve theme, order, word choice and emphasis, but exist without any need for Plot. A Narrative does not need a Structure; it just is. Entire cultures can (and do) tell themselves Narratives. The Theory of Evolution is a Narrative. "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" is a Narrative.
A Narrative functions as both a Template by which Stories are interpreted, and as a Filter determining which Stories will be accepted and which will be rejected or denied by adherents of that particular Narrative.
A Story is more directly tied to the concept of Plot and Character. It is a set of events with a Beginning, Middle and End, selected and arranged so as to convey a particular Meaning and/or Point of View. A Story, when it "works" (i.e. in a manner many people find acceptably resonant with one Narrative Structure or another) is the manifestation of a Narrative, in such a way as to support or refute it.
A Narrative Structure (like that shown in the image above) is the shape and purpose of a Story, absent the mundane, non-archetypal details. A Narrative Structure can be emergent, but if it's done right, what it emerges "into" is an already-existing (because archetypal) Narrative Structure, in either its positive (affirming) or negative (denying) form. To make matters slightly more confusing, a Story's Structure is called a "Narrative Structure" when we are speaking of the framework or formula rather than the content. That's because we're looking at a template. Joseph Campbell's famous "monomyth" is a Narrative Structure. So is Aristotle's dramatic arc.
The Difference between Narrative and Story is part of a structuralist approach to game design and interactive storytelling currently being explored by the As If Collective. These principles are at the root of the "ScenePlay" narrative card game system, currently in playtesting. Join our Patreon Community to follow and contribute to this project.

Boulder County to consider re-opening Rollins Pass
BOULDER — Next week, supporters of Rollins Pass could make strides in opening the historic mountain road once again.
After reviewing a proposal by Grand and Gilpin Counties to repair and re-open the Needles Eye Tunnel, Boulder County commissioners will take public comment on allowing vehicular traffic to link Colorado Highway 119 to U.S. Highway 40 for the first time in nearly 15 years.
Needles Eye Tunnel is located on the Rollins Pass leg, winding through Boulder County. Portions of Rollins Pass, sometimes called Corona Pass, running through Gilpin and Grand counties remain open to high-clearance, four-wheel drive vehicles, but the small tunnel has remained a roadblock since a falling rock injured a traveler in 1990. After a $85,000 lawsuit, Boulder County officials had the Needles Eye closed.
The proposal submitted by Grand and Gilpin commissioners recommends forming a tunnel authority to assume liability and risk, outlines methods of funding the road and tunnel repairs and offers suggestions for environmental preservation along the road, which winds along the boundary of James Peak Wilderness.
Boulder County Commissioners will take public comment regarding the proposal from Boulder County residents at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Boulder County Courthouse.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

2013 Pre-Season Closer Report - American Leagueposted by Unknown
American League East
Baltimore Orioles
Closer – Jim Johnson
Next – Pedro Strop
Sleeper – Darren O'Day
Super-Sleeper – Luis Alaya
The Orioles do not have a fantasy superstar stud closer but their closer situation is more stable than a lot of teams. Jim Johnson has been a consistent performer but does not get the strikeouts that owners and lets face it - most Major League Managers - want to see in their bullpen ace. Johnson would be a great closer to pair with a high strikeout non-saves reliever such as Jacob McGee. But until Johnson starts to falter there is little reason to worry about the rest of the Orioles bullpen. The Orioles have quite a few young pitchers that could work their way into the majors (or back there) through the bullpen but none of them are likely to compete for saves in 2013.
Boston Red Sox
Closer – Joel Hanrahan
Next – Andrew Bailey
Sleeper – Junichi Tazawa
Super-Sleeper – Koji Uehara
The Red Sox are one of the teams that have shown interest in Brian Wilson. A Wilson signing would create even more chaos in a bullpen that has shown little stability over the past few seasons. Hanrahan had control problems in 2013 and has had them in the past. Frankly with the exception of the 2010 and 2011 season he has always had shaky control. It was that lack of control that led to him becoming a Pirate in the first place.It would be a poor idea to bet on Hanrahan regaining his 2011 BB9. However the Red Sox bullpen is loaded with intriguing candidates for saves. Bailey has also had inconsistent control numbers but not quite as bad as Hanrahan. Bailey has had more problems staying healthy and available. Tazawa was excellent in 2012 and is probably the most likely to become a stud closer of this group. Unfortunately, Tazawa will probably have to wait for both Hanrahan and Bailey to fail first.
New York Yankees
Closer – Mariano Rivera
Next – David Robertson
Sleeper – Joba Chamberlain
Super-Sleeper – David Phelps
Until 2012 Mariano Rivera was easily the most consistently great closer in the game. He is almost certainly a Hall-of-Famer and one of the greatest closers of all time. This is the first season in over a decade that Rivera enters with anything less than great expectations. At this point Robertson is clearly Rivera's successor but Joba Chamberlain (if he proves healthy) will attempt to make a case for himself this season. He has the stuff he just needs to go do it. Chamberlain is a nice sleeper for saves in 2014 as he should come very cheap and provide value in any case. Phelps is likely to be a Jack-Of-All-Trades for the Yankees pitching as the long reliever, spot starter and Joba insurance. The role could hurt Phelps stats but he has nice skills. He is better drafted in leagues where he can be stashed.
Tampa Bay Rays
Closer – Fernando Rodney
Next – Kyle Farnsworth
Sleeper – Jake McGee
Super-Sleeper – Joel Peralta
Fernando Rodney should be as close to a lock to regress to his career numbers as any pitcher listed in this article. He had an amazing, once in a lifetime season that is miles from his career levels. The Rays may be great pitching instructors and they have put together a great bullpen but they are not miracle workers. Rodney is much closer to a middle tier closer than the best closer in all the lands. The pitcher to own in this bullpen is McGee who has great numbers and will eventually have to be considered for the more prestigious bullpen roles.
Toronto Blue Jays
Closer – Casey Janssen
Next – Sergio Santos
Sleeper – Esmil Rogers
Super-Sleeper – Steve Delabar
Casey Janssen has been very good the last two seasons and has proven more than worthy of holding the closer role indefinitely. Janssen did undergo successful surgery on his right shoulder to repair lingering AC joint soreness. While this is not expected to delay his start to Spring Training or the season it does create enough of a question to provide Santos owners a glimmer of hope. But Santos is himself coming back from much more serious shoulder surgery and until we actually see that his stuff has not changed he is a tough investment. Esmil Rogers was quite good once he escaped from Colorado. He has the stuff, strikeout rate and Ground Ball rate to be a very successful pitcher. With the two favorites adding recent shoulder surgery to their resumes, Rogers could be a nice low-risk investment.
American League Central
Chicago White Sox
Closer – Addison Reed
Next – Matt Thornton
Sleeper – Jesse Crain
Super-Sleeper – Matt Lindstrom
Addison Reed had to fight through the crowds of contenders to earn the closer role. He has the stuff as shown by his stellar minor league statistics but has not quite reached his major league potential to this point. Reed has the potential for a much higher k-rate which would shoot him up the closer ranks. For now he should be the stable holder of the closer role for a team in the midst of restructuring. When a team attempts to rebuild on the fly it can be very difficult to judge what they will do in certain situations. So while there should be optimism regarding Reeds ability to improve, there should also be caution in investing in the bullpen of an unpredictable team.
Cleveland Indians
Closer – Chris Perez
Next – Vinnie Pestano
Sleeper – Brett Myers
Super-Sleeper – Matt Albers
Lots of analysts suggested it was time for Perez to give way to Pestano in the 2012 fantasy guides. At Advanced Fantasy Baseball we experimented with a different idea. With the closer position in constant flux we suggested that owners consider low investments in the closers that no one wanted or that were being projected to lose their jobs. Perez was the successful side of this idea, Frank Francisco was at the less successful end. Still, Perez had a nice season. It could be that Perez improved as a pitcher and the control gains are for real. More likely, it was a one year anomaly. For now Perez holds the job and should be considered fairly stable in the position.
Detroit Tigers
Closer – Bruce Rondon
Next – Joaquin Benoit
Sleeper – Al Alburquerque
Super-Sleeper – Octavio Dotel
The Tigers are insisting they have no interest in adding a veteran closer. They further insist that they would like rookie Bruce Rondon to take the closer role. He has the the strikeout stuff though his control is not great. He could thrive in the role but rookies with less than 150 innings in the minors rarely come up to dominate in the majors. The Tigers have had some success with moving prospects quickly through their minor league system. They have also had some spectacular failures in this department. The bet here is on Benoit who is probably the best pitcher in their bullpen.
Kansas City Royals
Closer – Greg Holland
Next – Kelvin Herrera
Sleeper – Aaron Crow
Super-Sleeper – Tim Collins
Greg Holland stepped up and eventually filled the closer role for the injured Joakim Soria and the traded Jonathan Broxton. Holland's strikeout rate almost makes up for his lousy control but fantasy owners will not enjoy his high WHIP. Kelvin Herrera could be a much better option. Herrera has it all. He has the strikeout rate, excellent control and a great ground ball rate.Herrera is good enough to be worth drafting in deeper leagues even without the possibility of saves.If the Royals regain faith in Herrera's health they could potentially place him back in a starting role where he would have frontline pitcher stuff.
Minnesota Twins
Closer – Glen Perkins
Next – Jared Burton
Sleeper – Alex Burnett
Super-Sleeper – Casey Fien
The Twins are in re-building mode so anything can happen. Glen Perkins is solid in all areas and should be a competent closer for the Twins and would retain some value even without the job in deeper leagues. Burton would probably be as good as Perkins at closing but his chance depends on Perkins failing since he isn't likely to be drastically better. The Twins have acquired two power arms this winter that could be future power closers - Trevor May and Alex Meyer. Both are still being developed as starters but the Twins have often broken in starters as relievers.
American League West
Houston Astros
Closer – Jose Veras
Next – Josh Fields
Sleeper – Jarred Cosart
Super-Sleeper – Phil Humber
At this point no one outside of the Astros front office has any real idea who the 2013 closer will be. Veras is probably the favorite as the most experienced pitcher and a veteran minor league closer. He is in the high strikeouts/high walks mode, his WHIP will be on the high side.
"If you're going to take a chance on someone to be a first-time closer, that's the type of guy you want," Porter said. "We do have other pitchers that will get an opportunity to pitch late in the game, whether it's [Rhiner] Cruz, who had a really good winter league, or [Hector] Ambriz. There are others who will get a look, but Veras has the experience right now and is the front-runner."Josh Fields is another power option.He is a Rule V pick from the Boston Red Sox. His control has improved the last two seasons in the minors and he could be a nice closer. Cosart is still on the starter path but has been mentioned by the Houston front office as a potential closer. At this point he looks like a mediocre starter so the bullpen may be his opportunity to shine.
Los Angeles Angels
Closer – Ryan Madson
Next – Ernesto Frieri
Sleeper – Scott Downs
Super-Sleeper – David Carpenter
Madson is coming off Tommy John Surgery and could potentially miss the first two weeks or so of the season. When healthy Madson has great stuff with excellent command. The fact that Madson may miss a few weeks gives Ernesto Frieri a boost in value. Frieri owners should hold him if they have him at a low keeper cost. Frieri does not have great control but his real problem in 2012 was an elevated HR/FB. If his HR/FB regresses back towards his career rates he should be an excellent option in 2013. Scott Downs as ever is the Angels insurance policy in the bullpen. The Angels seem reluctant to ever actually give him the closer role but he is usually the guy they turn to when they need to lock things down.
Oakland Athletics
Closer – Grant Balfour
Next – Sean Doolittle
Sleeper – Ryan Cook
Super-Sleeper – Pat Neshek
There is really just one pitcher that you should be looking for in the Athletics bullpen and that is Sean Doolittle. He was drafted with the 41st overall pick as a first baseman but knee injuries almost ended his career. The A's converted him to pitching and rushed him through the system in 2012. From Class A to the Major Leagues - 17 games, 26 innings, 1.04 earned run average, 50 strikeouts, 8 walks. He has a very deceptive delivery and a blazing mid-90s fastball. He could stabilize the A's closer position for several years.
Seattle Mariners
Closer – Tom Wilhelmsen
Next – Carter Capps
Sleeper – Stephen Pryor
Super-Sleeper –Oliver Perez
Wilhelmsen has a great story and was a huge success for the Mariners this season. He gets a decent number of strikeouts and has decent control as well. He induces a bunch of groundballs and his 2.89 FIP says he earned his 2.50 ERA. You might wish Wilhelmsen had a higher strikeout rate but other than that this seems like a pretty stable closer situation. Carter Capps rampaged through the Mariner system using his moving upper-90s fastball and slider. He performed well in his first stint in the majors and should only improve with experience. Capps seems to be the clear closer of the future. Stephen Pryor does not have the same sort of stuff as Capps but he too marched from High-A to the Major Leagues in 2012. He gets nice strikeout numbers but his control is pretty shaky. The Mariners have a ton of young arms that could contribute to the bullpen this season as the Mariners advance talent through their system.
Texas Rangers
Closer – Joe Nathan
Next – Tanner Scheppers
Sleeper – Robbie Ross
Super-Sleeper – Joakim Soria
Joe Nathan completed his return from TJS with the Texas Rangers in 2012 and looked almost as good as ever. The strikeouts were there. The command was there. He did not seem to suffer much in the more hitting oriented environment. As he nears 40-years old, Nathan can be expected to fade a bit but there are not many signs of that in his 2012 statistics. Scheppers allowed a few too many homers in his first Major Leagues stint but he has the stuff to be the Rangers closer of the future. Joakim Soria was signed this offseason after the Royals declined to re-sign him as he rehabbed from TJS. Soria is expected to be ready by the All-Star Break and while he contribute in the second half, he is more likely to be of value in 2014.

The first time I came across that word in a book, I was like "what is that, exactly?" But then I thought, "well,..I'm just gonna keep on reading. Maybe I'll figure it out later."
And then it came up again and again, just about everywhere I looked in the "woo-woo" world.
At this point I felt like I should already know what it meant because everybody was saying it. It's gotta be important, right? What am I missing here?
I live in Montreal, for those of you who don't know. And if you're not familiar with Quebec and the Québécois, they use a lot of slang here. A lot.
They basically just compress a bunch of words together--they smush them all together to the point that they're barely recognizable--yet the locals seem to understand each other just fine.To give you an example, "je ne sais pas"--which means "I don't know"--becomes just "che pas". (If you're Québécois, you'll totally know what I mean.)
Some of those contractions I could figure out pretty quickly--and then there were some other ones that just took me forever. It got to the point where I felt like an idiot for not knowing, so I just didn't want to ask anymore.
That is exactly what it felt like when I couldn't quite get the meaning of "alignment". It was like, OMG, now I'm gonna have to figure out what it is on my own because I'm just too embarrassed to ask anybody!
So it was Québécois slang all over again.
So I'm gonna answer this one right here, right now.
I like to call it "GUS"--that is, God, Universe, Spirit.
We're all vibrational beings. And when you're vibrating at the same frequency as your GUS, that means you're in alignment.
Now, that still might sound like a bit of a techno-babble definition. So let me say it another way.
Alignment is when you see the world the same way as your GUS does. http://bit.ly/2tTy2JP
When you see the world through GUS's eyes, you feel positive emotions. Things start to flow and to just work out with minimal effort. In short, life just feels good.
It might sound like a luxury. Or some sort of lofty ideal that you only get if you sit on a mountaintop and meditate for 12 hours every day. But it's not.
Alignment is not something available only to the super-enlightened. Alignment is the JUICE OF LIFE. http://bit.ly/2tTy2JP
Yes, it really is that big of a deal. And in case you weren't convinced yet, let me tell you why alignment is so important.
you always know if you're taking the most direct route toward what you want--or if you're going the long way. In other words, it helps you stay in the natural flow of life and make things happen with ease.
you're basically putting your true self first. Seeing the world just like your GUS does. And that's a beautiful and freeing thing. Why?
When you get into alignment, you can literally give zero fucks about what anyone else thinks. http://bit.ly/2tTy2JP
You can walk around doing what you want and feeling good about it even if other people don't approve. How amazing would that be if you could literally just trust your own guidance? And to not be constantly feeling that need for external validation?
Yeah, pretty freaking amazing.
But now you have to be wondering--if it's that big of a deal and really DOES make everything in life so much more easy, high-vibe and happy, why isn't everybody in it all the time?
It has to do with taking the time to get in touch with how we are feeling about ourselves and the world around us--basically our emotions and our thoughts.
When we take the time to actually get in touch with our emotions and feel what we feel, we have the opportunity to expand on the good stuff while releasing the not-so-good stuff, thereby allowing us to hit the same vibe as our GUS a LOT more often.
So GUS sees everything through a lens of appreciation and gratitude, love and light--all those "airy-fairy" emotions, as some say.
The thing is, though, we humans tend to take a critical eye to everything. We tend to basically crap on the world around us.
You know, the constant banter being things like, "I hate the president" , or "I never have enough money", and "there are no good men". (Just as a few examples.)
We are vibrational beings. At our most basic level, we are just vibrating molecules. And what determines that vibration is our thoughts.
So positive thoughts--the things we're focusing on with love, appreciation, and gratitude--translate in into a high vibration. Whereas the things that we focus on with a critical eye--with judgement, anger, or any other negative thought--lead to low vibrations.
I bet you can see where I'm going with this, too. The negative emotions that you feel, then, result because you're not vibrating at the same high frequency as your GUS.
So you can see how emotions play such a big part, here, right?
You know, those moments when something pops up in your Facebook feed and you say find yourself saying, "OMG, I was just thinking about that!" Or you're constantly seeing repeating numbers. Maybe someone pops into your head and then out of the blue they text you. Those magical little messages and winks from the Universe start to become an everyday thing.
(And in fact, you might also call that instant manifesting, which I got into on an episode a couple of weeks ago. For the entire scoop on instant manifesting, check it out right here.)
When you're in alignment, things just seem to magically happen for you--and without a whole lot of stress or effort. Those "out of the blue" opportunities may find you--maybe somebody invites you to onto their podcast or to write a guest blog on their website. Or you might have a flash of inspiration to contact somebody just to say hi--and without any extra effort, it leads to wind up turning into an unexpected opportunity.
When your alignment is strong, the everyday problems in your life don't have all that much say.
I know that things get heavy sometimes--I'm not trying to say that they don't. But when you're in alignment, it makes just about anything a lot easier to get through. Why?
Because you know and you trust that everything is working out for you, not against you. No matter how bad things seem, you have that innate trust that everything really IS for a reason. Even if you can't see what it is just yet.
You're not bothered or triggered by things that otherwise might've sent you through the roof. Instead, you just float through your day basically feeling fucking great. (And without even trying!)
Sounds like a fluffy ideal, right? And it goes against everything you've probably been taught. I mean, people have surely told you things like, "Life just isn't supposed to just feel good", right?
And that is what alignment is all about.
Honestly, I bet a lot of you might resonate with this part because unfortunately, feeling like this seems to be the rule rather than the exception in our world.
You're scrolling through Facebook and you're feeling like everyone in your news feed is hurling rocks in your direction. It's like everything you see is making you say things like "how dare she say that!" or "that bitch just got a $50,000 month!" or "fuck politics!". It feels like a full-scale trigger-fest all the time.
The first example that comes to mind here is snapping at your kids or your husband. Because if you have a spouse or kids, they're the ones who are around you the most--and are probably gonna be the most likely to take the hit if you lash out. If you're not in alignment you might find yourself snapping even at something pretty unimportant--say that one of your kids spills a few drops of water on the floor and it's like "BAAAAHHH!!" And after the fact it's like--wait, what did I blow up about?
It's because you lost touch with your inner being. And you were seeing a situation completely differently than GUS was.
It feels like you're slogging your way through your day. Even the simple tasks feel cumbersome. You look at your to-do list and you're like, "Oh, my fuck, this is gonna be soooo long!" Those feelings of a dread kick in and it take so much effort to get anything done.
It feels like no matter what you're doing, you just can't see the clear path. Getting from where you are to where you want to seem impossible because the track lights on the path are just too dim--and it feels like you're stuck.
You have no idea what to try because there's no clear path--so you just try it all. Having no real idea of what will or will not work. You just start haphazardly doing stuff because relying on your actions alone to make things happen.
And let me be clear here:
And any action taken when you're not in alignment isn't gonna lead to alignment, guaranteed.
Powerlessness is one of the furthest points away from the alignment that you can possibly get. And when you feel that way, it's pretty hard to "snap out of it" and get back to alignment, too.
Because seriously, when you're feeling stuck and powerless, don't you just wanna punch people in the throat when they try to be happy around you? Funny thing, but the reason why you feel that way is simply because, at the moment, you're on such a different frequency with the happy person that you won't be able to relate--at all.
Pretty much wretched in every way, shape, and form. That's an all-encompassing statement, I know. But it's true.
So that's the basics of what alignment--and lack thereof--looks like.
It looks like I've painted these pictures and made it clear that this is alignment, this is not, end of story. But that's not exactly it.
I mean, we don't just pick a frequency and stay there all the time. It sure would be nice, but alas, I doubt that anybody could be at a perfect vibe of love, gratitude, and appreciation 24/7. (If you figure out a way, tell me how.)
The truth is that you're gonna feel a super-high love and appreciation frequency one day and then the next maybe you'll dip a little bit to something like contentment. Maybe you'll feel disappointment the next day. Or optimism the next.
It fluctuates, for sure.
Now that you know what alignment means, read part 2 to find out how to get yourself into alignment and stay there as much as possible!

Alphabet Doodles
I came across this blog from Sue Doodles. Isn't she so creative? I love the way she doodles. Being one that was fresh out of ideas but oh so willing to "do something" I was inspired to try my own set of Alphabet doodles. I use really good pens when I can. I have fallen in love with the 0.05 Black Micron pen. It allows me to outline real fine and it doesn't bleed into the paper.
I've uploaded the letters I have so far into Flickr. I've been doodling during my
break at work. I carry my son's old blue pencil case and a clipboard and doodle
for 30 minutes. I found some art paper at Hobby Lobby, but it's not as good as
the paper I bought from the Art Store. The down side of the art store paper is it comes in 24x36 and I have to cut it down to 8x10. The Hobby Lobby paper is already precut. I've noticed that the colors are better with the art store paper. This paper is much more forgiving to erasing pencil marks. The Hobby Lobby paper likes to take up the ink more. It has a bit of a tendency to bleed and absorb the colors and if I've erased, it grips the ink even more.
Ah well, at least I'm staying out of trouble! And having some fun at it too!!

I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser!

Universities and schools say plans to increase the number of trainee teachers they are able to recruit this summer may have come too late to tempt more quality newcomers into the profession.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership has told certain teacher training providers that they may recruit up to 25 per cent more students to start courses in September 2017.
But the reaction from teacher trainers to this week's surprise announcement has been mixed.
'They might have spent their budget'
"To give 25 per cent to everybody now is quite bizarre," Jo Palmer-Tweed, the executive director at Essex and Thames Primary Scitt, a school-centered initial teacher training organisation in Southend, said.
"A lot of people have made plans on the numbers they had, they have done their staffing, timetabling and a lot of people I know have stopped recruiting because they are full. They might have spent their recruitment budget.
"To be told, when you have got just ten weeks of recruiting left, that you can have another 25 per cent is really unhelpful."
And others agree that the move is too late.
Rachel Lofthouse, who heads Newcastle University's teacher training courses, said the university's school of education had decided not to take up the offer and increase its teacher trainee numbers by 25 per cent.
"With so much in flux over the last few years there are questions over staffing of programmes and the capacity for increasing the numbers of school placements in many regions," she said.
"Late changes to planning like this do not result in sustainable and stable provision. As such, this feels rather too little, too late to resolve the issues."
Allocation could be a welcome move
Samantha Twiselton, director of Sheffield Hallam University's Institute of Education, said: "While the opportunity to recruit more excellent teachers into shortage subjects is welcome, it is regrettable that once again this is being done so late.
"If this had been planned from the beginning, we could have recruited good candidates who may now be lost to the system. It really is time to change how initial teacher education recruitment is planned and implemented."
But Andrew Warren, chair of the Teaching Schools Council and director of the Britannia Teaching School Alliance, which trains teachers through the School Direct route, thought it was a good idea.
"I think these extra places are really welcome," he said. "I'm glad they've taken action early. It gives us an opportunity, with time to go before the end of the summer term, to secure more places."
The announcement comes after Ucas statistics show that the number of people training to be teachers dropped by almost 7 per cent last year.
In an email to providers, the National College for Teaching and Leadership says the move will help "maximise recruitment in areas that have the capacity to go further".
The 25 per cent is in addition to a previous notice that had already said providers would be funded for a "tolerance" of up to 10 per cent more of their official limit for trainees in each subject.
It explains that an initial allocation of 10 English places could now be increased to 13 places, with a tolerance of two more places – meaning that 15 places could now be given without financial penalties.
A limited offer
But the flexibility is not open to everyone.
The additional 25 per cent will only automatically apply to providers and schools which have already recruited 90 per cent of more of their allocation – although other providers can request an increase in their allocation.
For universities, Scitts and School Direct partnerships, the extra allocation will apply to all initial teacher training providers for drama, history and primary postgraduate courses. But not in PE.
In art and design, biology, chemistry, English and music, universities and Scitts can receive the extra allocation, but not School Direct partnerships.
Recruitment in other subjects, including maths and physics, is already uncapped.
