"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My loving kindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken," Says the LORD who has compassion on you.
– Isaiah 54:10
Life is beautiful. Life is amazing. Life is a wonderful roller coaster ride…of ups, and……of downs. Life can hurt. Life can be messy.
The mountains in our lives can be shaken. And sometimes we can get stuck in our story. Sometimes we dwell on these curveballs that come our way…..and we dwell too long.
We all know people who cannot hold a conversation without referencing to their 'whammy' event in their life. We've all read blogs that keep mentioning 'this' one issue time and time again…..
While some events in life do change us forever and we have no choice about that, how we react to these events is up to us.
For this topic I approached a group of amazing 'wise women', asking them to share their advice, speaking from their own lives. Sharing what they have learnt from the curveballs that have come their way. What a privilege to be able to share this with you today…..
How to deal with the curveballs of life. How to not get stuck in your story –
* Ask God to give you an eternal perspective.
* Know God and His character – look at God's promises. His plans are amazing and good. Period.
* 'Adjust…….you just learn to adjust' – Mrs A.
* Get yourself some input. Input Christ based information daily – music, reading, podcasts. This helps bring much needed perspective. Look for the lesson in your journey.
* Give yourself grace for the journey. Give yourself some 'down' time.
'God so often reminds me of the layers and layers of grace He wraps me in, so that I can continue to stand: from that I have learned to mentally take a deep breath, focus on a larger picture and apply some grace to my heart' – Mrs Q.
* With curveballs that involve tricky people situations – ask God to help you see them through His eyes. Allow His grace to flow from you to them, to love them and bless them and even want to pray for them.
* 'Remember we are pilgrims. As we embrace and yield to God's plans for us – even when they are uncomfortable and hard, He gives us the strength and grace we need' – Mrs D
* Curveballs and major crises have to be dealt with on our knees.
* Every verse that can be memorized, quoted, written and taped on mirrors WORKS! Surround yourself with His promises.
* Understand that others will ask you about your particular situation. They ask because they care. The choice to dwell longer than is necessary on your 'issue' is yours – you can give them an honest answer and then move the conversation on…..
* Humour. You have to have a sense of humour and not take yourself too seriously. 'A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken' Proverbs 15:13
* When trouble strikes often one's first instinct is to act like a turtle. To withdraw from life, and especially from others when in fact we need good friends around us the most. Keep your girlfriends around you, treasure the accountability that comes with having kindred spirits around you.
* Expect God to provide you with opportunities to minister to others, once you have come out the other side of your 'adventure' – this is to show God's healing power and restoration truly at work in your life
'Whatever God saved you from, He'll turn you around and make you a minister to someone going through the same' – Mr A.
And finally…….when you live in a relationship with God that is fresh, that you strive to keep from becoming stagnant, then HE changes us, if we allow him to. So it just isn't possible to stay stuck in our story. We are moved on…….so my next blog post will be looking at PRACTICAL ways in which we can keep our relationship with the Lord FRESH.

The Co-Creation Lab FHIR® Demonstration project began with a basic question: "Can Rhapsody do FHIR®?"
When we looked at the market, we discovered that most folks did not know. Even within our own community, folks didn't really know how to answer the question.
The first outcome of this project is that we can provide the answer with an emphatic "Yes!" Rhapsody is an effective and efficient platform for developing interfaces using the FHIR® standard. It has these capabilities right now — and considerable flexibility in how you can best develop and implement them.
The project took a 'design thinking' approach. We started by looking to discover who our users were and what they needed to know. These users included not only our customer-facing representatives, but also customers, including CTOs, developers and analysts, integration managers, and support staff. What do they need to know? What do they need to do?
From there we looked at what we could create to help meet those needs. We addressed several use cases. We evaluated how our different tools fared and developed better practices along the way. We prototyped, evaluated, and documented.
Our goals were lofty, and, in the end, we produced material geared at both our internal staff as well our customers and the broader interoperability marketplace.
One of our secondary goals was to identify strengths and gaps in our offering and create a FHIR®-focused roadmap for the platform. This required learning more about how FHIR® is done out in the wild. And that is an adventure all its own.
By the end of the project, we determined that Rhapsody makes for quite a robust FHIR® development environment, and we are continuing to work on turning this into assets that we can make available to our customers.
We have produced several documents to help you get started with FHIR® in Rhapsody. Download:

Since Pokémon is a playable game most of all Pokemon cards are legal to use in decks but this does not speak for all Pokemon cards since some of them have eventually been banned from decks because they are too strong and have abilities that give users of them an unfair advantage. It never hurts to know whether a card is banned from a tournament before you end up going so you are not disappointed when you are unable to play with that card and must remove it from a deck. That actually happened to me once before as well. I was with friends going to the Pokemon center in New York City. The deck I was using relied mostly on the Pokémon fortress with a special Pokemon power that whenever Pokemon switched from being active to the bench they would take 10 damage. The Pokémon power was spike. The problem with this card was they banned it from the tournaments because of how nasty of an effect it was. And the strategy of play was really easy since you could set up 4 on your bench and then anything switching would take 40 damage just for switching. That is also why gust of wind was changed so that the opponent was to pick one of his Pokemon that gets switched. So when I got there I couldn't participate because my deck had been banned from usage during the tournament which was pretty depressing.
So besides having an all Pokemon cards list you would also want to make sure you have all of the most updated information about what is legal for using in various tournaments. I can't say if they still hold as many tournaments as they used to at conventions or at the Pokémon centers since I know they have the Pokémon online play as well. And it has been quite a number of years since I played back in 2003.
Pokemon cards can still be a good investment in the future since many of the original base set Pokémon cards are very valuable now especially the first edition ones that are in really premium condition. As more Pokemon cards get older they too will see an increase in value as they get harder to find making them valuable to collectors. Having lists of all Pokemon cards is a good guide to a collector that doesn't know enough about what cards each set actually had. I also provide information on error cards since many error cards are still considered part of the set and it makes it even more rare if you have a completed set with all the error cards.

After more than 4 years. I have finally completed "The N.I.C.U. Roller Coaster: Poems and Prayers for Parents of Preemies" It was a difficult labor or love to deliver this set of poems after I delivered this micro-preemie.
I'm praying that it blesses many who are going through the trials in the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit, not knowing if your child will live or die certainly changes one's perspective on everything in life we thought was important. It showed me what I was made of, I didn't crack (though it felt like I would at times) we got stronger instead of further apart.
This book chronicles the 'roller coaster' experience in the N.I.C.U. Not only about my son's up and down health, but it seemed even more to do with the emotions that I experienced, having a 'micro-preemie' child fighting for his life.

Have been been seeing your MassMutual ad forever -- touching but I figured it was fictional. Tonight thought I'd look up some info about the ad. When I saw the character was played by an actress (you), I figured that confirms the story is fictional. But seeing that you write poetry looked intriguing, so following the link brought me to the photo above, and WOW. If the ad isn't completely fictional, there must be some truth to it. So hats off to you for whatever truth the commercial depicts.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi, I'm sorry I'm just seeing your comment now. The ad is all completely true, there was nothing fictionalized in it. Some days are really difficult, but everyday with him is a blessing. Thanks for reaching out.Delete

Pura Tirta Empul
If you're looking to wash away sin or just restore your mind, body, and soul, then Pura Tirta Empul is a must-see in central Bali. It's one of the most popular temples on the island with the name translating to 'holy water spring' for good reason. The temple complex is approximately 9.3 miles (15 kms) north of Ubud's center. You can take a spectacular route through the rice terraces of Tegalalang to participate in the gentle 12-step cleansing ritual that has fascinated locals and tourists alike for generations.
The temple is quite close to Tampaksiring Village in Manukaya and is clearly marked. If you're feeling adventurous, the drive from Ubud on a scooter takes only 30 minutes and is relatively simple compared to the busy traffic in the more populated areas of Bali.
Tirta Empul was built in the name of Vishnu, the Hindu god of water in 926 A.D. and the Balinese have worshiped here for over a thousand years. Though it's a busy temple, upon entry you'll find yourself steeped in the sound of prayer. Visitors are instinctively quiet as they make their way through the 12 cleansing stations and return to pray at a spot where the spring bubbles up under the earth, or at shrines built to honor Shiva, Vishnu, Braham, Indra, and the holy Mount Batur. The scent of incense, the splash of cleansing waters and the towering strength of the Holy Banyan tree in the courtyard create an eerie and deeply spiritual experience.
This could be why a palace was erected overlooking Tirta Empul in 1954 for Indonesia's first President, Soekarno. The leader ushered Indonesia through the bloody colonial wars in its move for independence from the Netherlands and he often used the temple as a way to recharge throughout his controversial term in office.
The water temple is open every day from 9 AM until 5 PM and costs around 20,000 IDR to enter. It's recommended you bring a change of clothes if you're going to cleanse as you must remain fully clothed while in the Temple. Sarongs are mandatory for both men and women.

Pretty pinboards
By Homes|
- 3 quilt hoops, Lincraft or Spotlight
- 60cm x 1.25m sheet of corkboard
- Pencil
- Utility knife
- Double-sided tape
- Fabrics of your choice
- Iron
- Staplegun & staples
- Eyelet hooks & string
- 3M Command picture hooks
- Push pins
Step 1.
Place first quilt hoop over your corkboard. Slightly loosen the wingnut on the hoop and, using a pencil, trace the inside of the hoop onto the cork. Cut out the marked circle using a utility knife.
Step 2.
Now undo the wingnut fastener so the inner hoop becomes separated from the outer hoop. Stick double-sided tape all around the inside of the inner hoop.
Step 3.
On a flat surface, place the cork circle inside the inner hoop. Iron fabric and stretch over inner hoop and cork, then fit the outer hoop over the top. Tighten wingnut, ensuring fabric is smooth and taut. As the nut tightens, the outer hoop will get smaller, holding the fabric and cork in position. Pull excess fabric around the back of the cork and staple in place.
Step 4.
Fix eyelet hooks into the back of your pinboard, attach string and hang on the wall. Use different-sized hoops to create a cluster. Pin up cards, lists – anything you like – for a wall feature that's functional.

Welcome to the first installment of the HMI Blog's "New Year, New Challenges" series! Each week, we'll take a look at one of the industries our clients deal in and see what lies ahead for them in the new year: the good, the not-so-good, and the unknown.
Our first industry: the automotive aftermarket.
As the secondary market to the auto market, the aftermarket provides products and services for everything that might take place after the sale of a car: accessories, repairs, replacements, and so on. Here's what we're seeing in store for the automotive aftermarket in 2019.
We'll start with the obvious. It shouldn't surprise you that one of the biggest changes the automotive aftermarket (and other industries) is going through right now is the increasing prevalence of eCommerce and the digital world. We've covered this topic a lot.
More and more, auto parts buyers choose to put in the work online first before they think about entering a store. According to Hedges & Company, 93 percent of auto parts buyers do online research before they buy, and 82 percent at least partly base their decision on a company's online presence. Maintaining an online identity isn't just good business—it's become a necessity.
And, of course, there's always that Dark Lord of the Internet, Amazon, calmly building up its online empire. The power and appeal of Amazon, especially the new Amazon Business, means heavy competition for sellers in the B2B world now as well as B2C. Those distributors who have held fast to the purely brick-and-mortar lifestyle should be seriously considering ramping up their eCommerce options right about now.
There's an interesting give and take between an industry and its aftermarket. Both the automotive and auto aftermarket industries depend, of course, on the ability and willingness of the buyer to spend money. But while the auto market needs people who want to buy new, the aftermarket is the opposite: it needs people with older cars who will pay for replacements and tune-ups.
Since 2015, the American auto industry has seen a historically high level of new car sales, with each year closing out with at least 17.2 million cars sold. In its 2019 Forecast and Trends report, Edmunds.com projected similarly high sales for the coming year (if slightly lower at 16.9 million) based on positive economic factors like low unemployment, high consumer confidence, and the currently cheap price of gas.
All that being said, it seems the industry is holding its breath to see what kind of year 2019 will turn out to be. In fact, the Wall Street Journal reported that some industry execs and analysts are anticipating a market downturn soon. There are a lot of reasons for this: interest rates are at their highest since 2009, new cars cost more now than they ever have before, and new tariffs breed uncertainty across the board. (Yeah, don't worry—we're coming back to the tariffs.)
Put together, all of it has the potential to push consumers to buy used, or to focus more on maintaining their current cars. Either way, you end up with older cars, which means more business for the aftermarket.
And, in fact, it seems cars are getting older. The age of the average American car has increased 17% over the past decade to around 11.5 years. Vehicles are lasting longer, and their drivers are ready to pay for the upkeep. The global auto aftermarket industry is expected to exceed $1 trillion by the year 2022.
There's another reason to think the aftermarket industry might continue to grow: millennials. That's right—for once we're not to blame for killing an industry, we're helping it. According to the market research company NPD Group, millennial drivers are on the road twice as much as those in their sixties. We're also more likely to be driving an older car, and to have bought it used. You're welcome, auto aftermarket.
(Ok, so the millennial trend is probably not the only factor in aftermarket growth. But, hey, I'm a millennial. I like to make it all about me.)
If there's one hot topic on our minds right now, it has to be the tariffs. Last year, President Trump's administration began imposing a series of new tariffs on hundreds of imports, particularly those from China. Chinese-sourced auto parts were slapped with a 10% tariff in September that was set to increase to 25% with the new year. That's on hold for now, but uncertainty still abounds.
Your mileage may vary with the auto parts tariffs, depending on whether you're a manufacturer who's glad to see a drop in overseas competition or a supplier who now has to decide between eating the cost of the tariffs or raising your prices. But industry leaders and organizations have not kept quiet about their opposition to the tariffs, arguing that the globalized nature of the market doesn't leave room for a trade war.
The Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) argued that the health of the auto parts industry relies on overseas partners: "Supplier jobs are up 19 percent over the past five years, growth made possible because suppliers operate in an integrated, complex global supply chain. Access to worldwide markets is critical for the supplier industry to remain competitive."
In a formal statement, the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) likewise argued that "industries like ours, which require long-term investments in facilities and employees, depend on regulatory and market stability. These actions have thrown all of that up in the air."
Whether or not these concerns will be heightened or alleviated will depend on the next few months. President Trump travelled to China this week in hopes of bringing the trade war to a positive conclusion. If no deal is reached by March 2, the 25 percent tariffs that had been originally intended for January 1 will be imposed.
Tariffs or no, we're anticipating good things for the automotive aftermarket. With the uncertainty of the next few months, it's hard to tell exactly what lies on the horizon. But in the end, every industry sees its share of market growth and contraction, even the ones with the brightest futures.
A growing market is a good thing, but there's one challenge left we haven't mentioned: how to differentiate your business. In an industry populated by dozens or hundreds of similar companies, how can you stand out among the competition?
(Yes, this is the part where I talk about incentives. Did you really think I wasn't going to bring up incentives?)
As an incentive provider, it's our goal to help you become the best you can be within your industry. Incentives help businesses increase their market share, improve brand awareness, build customer loyalty, and so much more. In a busy industry with an uncertain future, incentives guarantee that you'll stand out in the crowd.
We love the industries we serve, and we love talking about what lies in their futures! Book a meeting with us to share your thoughts on the automotive aftermarket, tariffs, incentives, millennials, or whatever else might be on your mind!

Does lack of time put you under pressure?
If you run a micro business that offers a service, one of the things you've probably found hardest to do is to put a value on your time.
And what's even harder is actually making sure that what you charge for your time is value for money for your client and an accurate reflection of your experience in the sector you work in.
It's a challenge a lot of micro business owners struggle with and it's something that can eventually lead to resentment, bad feelings and stress.
One of my businesses works helping micro businesses to develop and flourish. I find I'm very good at advising others how to value themselves, based on years of experience running micro businesses in different sectors, but did not always heed my own advice when it came to creating my own price tag.
Are you undervaluing yourself?
However at the beginning of 2013 that all changed. I looked at what I had done in the last quarter of 2012 and was shocked when I worked out just how much work I had done for free that also generated me no benefit whatsoever.
In fact, according to my calculations my unpaid time in that period was around 60%.
Although maths was never my strong point at school, commerce / business studies was and I know when I have been undervalued and when I have made a loss.
This realisation was a stressful wake-up!
Understanding what is free & what is paid for time
I think I should make it clear at this stage that I actually knew at the beginning of the year that a lot of the work I would be doing would come with no remuneration. That's because in January 2012, Tony Robinson OBE and I launched Enterprise Rockers – a community interest company founded to make life in micro business better and fairer.
We were adamant that this C.I.C. would remain independent from Government funding, bank sponsorship or donations from corporate organisations who were only interested in getting their name in front of lots of micro business owners and were not interested in improving the life of those that employ between 0 and 9.
Tony and I had agreed that we would fund Enterprise Rockers ourselves, with the support of other micro business owners who donated time or services to help us generate what we refer to as the 'Power of Plenty', until we had built relationships with those who were happy to help us create a sustainable business model.
Now I understood this part of my work would be gratis.
It was work where my services had been taken advantage of that irritated me and in most cases the person to blame for this was me.
Remember – Volunteering cannot be a full time role if you run a micro business but giving something back is rewarding. If you want to give something back to a charity, a community group or national organisation ensure time is set aside in your diary to do so and apportion the amount of time you can afford to volunteer.
Set yourself some ground rules
So after beating myself up a bit about my findings (not in the literal sense of course) I decided to set myself 6 ground rules that I would follow when asked to do any work:
- Will it bring me income ?
- Will it bring me happiness ?
- Will it bring me promotion to generate either income or happiness ?
- When asked to help deliver a project or programme will the organisation I am working with just be ticking boxes or will they have the clients personal and business development interests at the heart of what they are doing ?
- Do the people I will be working with actually have adequate experience & knowledge of the product or service they are delivering or want to deliver ?
- I will not work with Twits ! (or any other appropriate word I chose to replace the word Twit with)
Respect your time and don't be a pushover
Whatever service your micro business delivers and whatever your main objectives are within that business, set some ground rules to follow so you can ensure you have a focus for the work you want to do and the customers you want to work with.
You'll find doing this stops people taking advantage of your expertise and gives you a greater sense of satisfaction when working with the clients you have chosen.
In addition, it's important to develop smart working practices that support you and your business. For example:
1. Buddy up
If you are faced with frustrating times when running your micro business seek advice from a micro biz buddy who will have experiences to share to help overcome your dilemmas and if they cannot help then they may have a micro biz mate who can.
2. Build your network
The more micro business owners you surround yourself with the better support you will get. But remember to share good news stories as well as business irritations and ensure you return any favours – do not let it be a one way street or this again is undervaluing the time of those supporting you.
3. Be realistic with your time
If you want to volunteer some of your time to good causes then make sure it is a realistic amount of time that your micro business can afford to loose you for.
4. Manage your schedule
To assist with apportioning your time divide your daily diary into 4 sections and only arrange one meeting, appointment or event per time slot (advice given to me by one of my micro biz mates)
- Early – 7.00am until 10.00am
- Morning – 10.00am until 1.00pm
- Afternoon – 1.00pm until 4.00pm
- Late – 4.00pm until 7.00pm
Most importantly of all calculate your worth efficiently – remember overvaluing yourself can be as bad as undervaluing the service you offer.
Over to you
Have you found you've been undervaluing your time? Does working for free stress you out and cause you to question your approach to micro business life? It would be great to hear other examples and experiences so please share your thoughts in the comments below.
Today's Micro Action
Is your micro business earning enough to support your goals and personal dreams? So you find yourself working stupid hours yet still struggle to make ends meet? Is it causing you stress? If so, it's well worth taking some time today to figure out if you're missing out on potential income by giving away too much of yourself for free or by not charging enough.
Our freelance calculator is a good place to start, and you can support this by taking a close look at your working practices and deciding what new boundaries you need to put up. Take some time to ponder on these issues today and see if you can create an action plan.

Hey there,
There are those who talk the talk and those that walk the walk but few that do both. (I should know, I can't tell you how many people have talked of helping me and I'm still doing all this solo). Jay Rodgers is definitely is one of the rare few who do both. Jay and I were talking the week after the 35th Human Rights Festival was rained out. I was bummed, we had done all the planning to put on the festival, the work to build the stage and take it down and all we had to show for it were the receipts for the money we paid for all the licenses, insurance, rentals, etc. Jay came up with the idea of a benefit. He told me that he and Ashley Revell would take care of everything, all AHRF had to do was show up with donation jugs and T-shirts. Jay is a man of his word. Jay and Ashley got the Max to host the event, did all the advertising and then got ten incredible bands to donate their time and talents for a two day event that also was an excuse to celebrate Jay's 31st birthday.
We raised over $845!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made this possible. Thank you also to the anonymous benefactor who donated $100 and to Adam Payne for his $50 donation on top of his talents performing.

College is a critical period in a young person's life. It's a critical time to meet lifelong friends, learn new things and figure out your professional goals. But not to be racist.
Here are some tips to avoid getting shunned, shamed and booted off campus like Harley Barber and Natalia Martinez.
Don't do Blackface
There's a range of skin colors available in the European palette. You can be as light as fresh winter snow or sassy, suntanned and swarthy. Before you dive past the brown threshold stop and watch 1986's cinematic disaster Soul Man. If you don't want to be an easy reference for racial insensitivity for the remainder of your life like C. Thomas Howell, put down the face paint and take a comfy lie in the nearest tanning bed.

Bill Cosby - *****File Photos*** Janice Dickinson comes forward with Cosby accusation Former model-turned-TV personality JANICE DICKINSON has become the fourth woman to accuse comedian BILL COSBY of sexual assault. In an exclusive new interview with U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, Dickinson details an alleged encounter with Cosby in 1982, when he offered to help her with a planned singing career after she left rehab. She recalls she was holidaying in Bali when Cosby invited her to Lake Tahoe, California, where he was performing, so they could discuss her career and a possible role on his hit comedy The Cosby Show. The former catwalk star claims he offered her red wine and a pill when she complained of stomach pains over dinner. She recalls, "The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pyjamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man. Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pyjamas off and there was semen in between my legs." Dickinson reveals she wrote about the assault in the first draft of her 2002 autobiography No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel, but claims Cosby and his lawyers pressured publishers at HarperCollins to remove the details. She tells ET, "I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do, and it happened to me, and this is the true story. I believe all the other women... I didn't have counsel and I was afraid of the consequences. I was afraid of being labelled a whore or a slut and trying to sleep my way to the top of a career that never took place." Dickinson admits she has never confronted Cosby over the alleged incident, but she wouldn't hold back if she met him again today. She rages, "(I'd say) 'How dare you. Go f**k yourself. How dare you take advantage of me. And I hope you rot'." The ex- at Madison Square Garden - New York City, New York, United States - Wednesday 6th November 2013 (1 Picture)

Your snacks are ready, the popcorn is still warm and your drink is in the holder by your right hand. You sink into the red pleather lounge chairs in the movie theatre and recline just enough to get cozy – but not so much as to fall asleep – and wait for the movie to begin. You look around, surprised that you're the only person there – when the trailer comes on.
You've brought your popcorn halfway up to your mouth when you realize what you're seeing on screen. It's your childhood backyard. You stop, sit up a little and are suddenly very interested. Cut to the next scene, it's your elementary school and your open wooden locker with your name on top written in crayon on construction paper. Your winter coat hangs there, waiting for recess to start.
Your life, in a 2-hour recap, plays out before you. Your popcorn goes untouched but that drink is empty because you were drinking without even noticing, you were so enthralled with what you were seeing.
All your memories, photos you've seen, stories you've told and been told, on the big screen.
The mood of your movie, the scene that just happened while you read those three short paragraphs… that's one of the filters you've chosen for your life. I wrote an article for Elephant Journal recently and gave a short intro to the Filter Method. The Filter Method is a trick I use with my patients and clients to help shift perception and loosen the emotional hold certain stories that we tell have over us
What none of us realize while we live our lives is that the stories that we tell are all tainted by our memories, which are far from perfect. We have certain ideas and perceptions which filter our experiences and allow us to see and feel them only a limited number of ways. For instance: if you walk around with a deep belief in your own luck, you'll feel like it didn't rain on your beach day because you're lucky! You'll use that day as just more 'proof' of your luck.
If you walk around all day with a deep belief that you're lucky and it does rain on your beach day, you'll probably notice on the news the next day that something terrible happened on the road to the beach and you'll think: I'm so lucky it rained and I didn't go there, it could have been me. You'll use that day as more 'proof' of your luck.
This works no matter what your filter is.
So, if your movie has a filter of bad luck, if you go to the beach on a sunny day, you might get a sunburn and use that as proof of your bad luck. If it rains, you'll focus on that being proof. See where I'm going with this?
Now, if you've been around awhile, you'll know that I'm not a proponent of positive thinking just for the sake of it. I think it can be harmful, used as spiritual bypassing for moments that you really need to feel and transform. Not all of life is lucky, fun, happy, and unicorns and rainbows – and it's not supposed to be.
What is important to know is that YOU are writing the script that becomes your life and you're using your filters to do it. You become the hero of your story by writing your story that way, but choosing filters that support that belief.
If you're stuck on a filter that is leading you to difficulty in any number of ways, it's worth watching your life movie and finding out what filters you're using and trying to change them.
This is where I turn out to be a great guide. Within a short time, I can usually hear your filters because I've trained myself to hear them in between your words. I love listening to you and your story and guiding you to realize what filters you are using – which ones are helpful and which ones are harmful. And then YOU receive the joy of taking back the script and editing as you see fit.
My favorite part of my job is exactly that moment where you regain the self-assurance necessary to take control of writing your story instead of letting your history be in charge.

I love this quote so much, but I'm not asking you to let go necessarily. I'm asking you to shift your filter, to CHOOSE to see your story in a different light, one that is more beneficial to you. There is no such thing as the absolute truth. Someone else could live your same exact life and interpret it in a completely different way with a different filter. The best part of that is: YOU CAN DO THAT TO! You can have your same history, change the filter, and use it as a springboard toward the life you want.
You can start right now. Watch that movie, find that filter, and get to changing it.
You've got this.
Now, Tell Me: What's one major take away that you got from this post today? Write it down, someone else could use your thoughts, I promise.

Sue Lowell Gallion writes for children because she is passionate about children, reading, and any combination of the two!
Her latest books are early reader series, Tip and Tucker, written with children's author pal Ann Ingalls and illustrated by Brazilian illustrator Andre Ceolin. The first book in the series, Tip and Tucker Road Trip, will released in March from Sleeping Bear Press. The second in the series, Tip and Tucker Hide and Squeak, releases in August, and the third book will come out in 2020. Sue has several other picture books under contract releasing in 2020 and 2021 that have not been publicly announced to date.
Pug Meets Pig, illustrated by Joyce Wan (Beach Lane Books/Simon & Schuster) released fall 2016, with a starred review from Publishers Weekly. Another Pug and Pig book, Pug & Pig Trick-or-Treat, also illustrated by Joyce Wan, released summer 2017, with starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly and Kirkus. Stay tuned for more Pug and Pig adventures to come!
In 2013, Sue received the Most Promising Picture Book Manuscript award from SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators). Sue's stories, poems, and activity rhymes have been published in children's magazines including Highlights and High Five.
As a printer's daughter, Sue grew up surrounded by the smells of paper and ink and the sound of printing presses. Want to hear what the pressroom sounded like? Turn your volume way up.
Sue and her sister, Nancy, liked to visit The Lowell Press, the family printing plant. They raided the plant gumball machine, gathered paper scraps to make paper dolls, and played with type and stamp pads. When they got a little older, they worked there, too. They stuffed envelopes, boxed books, and proofread endless pages of cattle pedigrees (with breaks for gumballs.)
Today Sue lives in the Kansas City area. Kansas City is a city in two different states. There's a road called State Line Road not far from Sue's house. She lives on the Kansas side. The state of Missouri is on the other side of the road. Sue's family includes her daughter, son and daughter-in-law, and two little grandsons. Another important member of her family is her black lab mix, Tucker, who likes to go on walks and hold hands.
Sue is available for library, preschool, and elementary school visits, including free classroom Skype sessions, and also speaks to parents and early childhood educators. She shares books with kids every week through Lead to Read, a Kansas City program matching readers with public school first and second graders. She is active in the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and is the former regional advisor for the Kansas/Missouri region.

Pope Francis met with Microsoft President Brad Smith on Wednesday to discuss artificial intelligence "at the service of the common good," Reuters reports, per Business Insider.
The 81-year-old Roman Catholic leader debated the potential threats AI poses to humanity, and ahead of the meeting Smith told WION News, "in the wrong hands, every instrument can become a weapon if the organizational power of humanity cannot keep up with the technology itself."
The pair also discussed ways to bridge the digital gap between rich and poor nations at the meeting, which took place at the Vatican.
Smith's visit came ahead of a summit on "Robo-ethics: Humans, Machines, and Health," which takes place at the Vatican on Feb. 25 and 26.
Microsoft is spending heavily on artificial intelligence technology, but recently warned investors the tech might go awry, harming the company's reputation in the process.
"Issues in the use of AI in our offerings may result in reputational harm or liability," Microsoft wrote in its latest quarterly filing.
"AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by Microsoft or others could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. . . . Some AI scenarios present ethical issues," it added.

The Art History Club draws its members from undergraduate Art History majors and minors and any interested non-majors. The club meets several times during fall and spring semesters. Members arrange for viewing of biographical films of artists or other areas of interest; arrange discussions with faculty members; plan bus trips to area museums; and hold faculty-student teas during the fall and spring semesters. Most importantly, Art History students use this club to enrich their academic experience and to develop a camaraderie with fellow students.
