I just finished my workout and can I just tell you how happy I am to be setting aside that time for myself? It's not even about looking a certain way. It's about feeling good. It's about having strong arms and legs to get me through the day. It's about having more energy. It's about sleeping better at night. It's about not punching people (joking, sort of) and yes, it's about feeling good in my clothes.
Never let anyone try to convince you that you shouldn't focus on your physical body. While it's not advisable to obsess about it or to consider it the only important thing about you, it's perfectly okay to consider it important in your life.
Most of last year, I made up excuses as to why I "didn't have time" to workout, but it was a bunch of bologna. The way I see it is this: if I was able to workout when my sons were little and I had a full college load and a full-time job, I definitely have the time to do it now. It isn't about time and has never been about time. We all get the same twenty-four hours in a day.
It's all about priorities.
Once we own that, we can grow. Otherwise, we can keep making up excuses why we can't do whatever it is we claim we wish we had time for: reading to our children, working out, meal prepping, walking the dog, spending more time with family, reading, hanging out with friends, etc.
If it's a priority, we make time for it. If it isn't, we make excuses. It's that simple.
I made a lot of excuses last year regarding my physical fitness and I've paid for them with aches and pains, but it's okay. I've made it a priority now.
Can I let you in on a terrible secret?
I've also neglected my health in other ways. I have a high level of anxiety regarding dentists and have not been to a dentist in about ten years. I know. I'm sure you're balking at that and I don't blame you, but it's the truth. I'm sharing this because almost all of those ten years, I focused on my physical health. I ate as healthfully as possible and I worked out regularly. To look at me, you'd have thought I was a pillar of health, but it wasn't true.
I was neglecting my oral health. While I brushed and flossed religiously and used my white strips and such, I neglected the professional care I deserve to have.
Here's another secret.
I've not been to a doctor in at least that amount of time, except when I was pregnant with my daughter who is now six. I've not been sick, so I figured I was fine. However, I do believe in preventive care and being proactive with our health. Maybe I really am fine, but I probably should have a check up. I take my little girl for well checks. Why not myself?
I'll tell you why: because I didn't consider my health a priority. I didn't consider ME a priority.
Do you consider yourself a priority?
Mamas, you are so important. Your health is so vital to your well being and it's important to your family.
I'm not saying we need to run to the doctor for every little thing, but it's a great idea to have a doctor. I don't even have a doctor! I filled out my new patient forms for the dentist and it asked for my family physician and I realized I have no one to list. As a matter of fact, the last family physician I actually went to was probably in 2004! I did go to urgent treatment once since then, but that doesn't count as a doctor, really. So, I've not had a doctor in fifteen years. Apparently I'm not alone. According to The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, in my state of Kentucky, 13% of women report having no family doctor. In Nevada, 27% of women report having no family doctor. Ladies, we must make a change and start making our health a priority.
This year, I made the goal to focus on Health & Home and I'm working on it. As a matter of fact, my husband is too and we are focusing on it for our little daughter too. I hope that what we're doing will be a good influence for our grown sons as well, so they will always try to keep their health and wellness at the top of the priority list. After all, their children need them to be healthy, inside and out.
Be Proactive
Go. Make a call to a physician if you can't remember your last check up. Get that Pap smear you've been putting off. Get your teeth cleaned. If you're without insurance, like I am, ask to set up a payment plan. Most doctors and all dentists will do this. You are important. If you can buy that Starbucks every day, you can set aside money to visit your doctor.
Here's the long and short of it: in dealing with our health, we have the choice to be proactive or reactive and usually being reactive is far more expensive.
I'm saying all of this with love. It is not written to upset anyone. I'm writing it to remind you of your power. You have the power to take control of your life and to feel your personal best and you deserve to feel your very best every single day.

Bíblia ISV
Lucas 24
1 But on the first day of the week at early dawn they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they went in, they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were puzzling over this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly stood beside them.
5 Because the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, "Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?
6 He is not here but has been raised. Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee,
7 'the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day.'"
8 Then they remembered his words.
9 They returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and all the others.
10 The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.
11 But these words seemed nonsense to them, and they wouldn't believe them.
12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. He stooped down and saw only the linen cloths. Then he went home wondering about what had happened.
13 On the same day, two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place.
15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began to walk with them,
16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
17 He asked them,"What are you discussing with each other as you're walking along?" They stood still and looked gloomy.
18 The one whose name was Cleopas answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know what happened there these days?"
19 He asked them,"What things?"They answered him, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in the things that he did and said before God and all the people,
20 and how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and had him crucified.
21 But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.
22 Even some of our women have startled us! They were at the tomb early this morning
23 and didn't find his body there, so they came back and told us that they had actually seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.
24 Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn't see him."
25 Then Jesus said to them,"O how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe everything the prophets said!
26 The Christhad to suffer these things and then enter his glory, didn't he?"
27 Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all the passages of Scripture about himself.
28 As they came near the village where they were going, he acted as though he were going on farther.
29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening and the day is almost gone." So he went in to stay with them.
30 While he was at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it in pieces, and gave it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.
32 Then they said to each other, "Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?"
33 That same hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their companions all together.
34 They kept saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!"
35 Then they themselves began to tell what had happened on the road and how he was recognized by them when he broke the bread in pieces.
36 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,"Peace be with you."
37 They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
38 He said to them,"Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your hearts?
39 Look at my hands and my feet, for it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones as you see that I have."
40 After he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 While they still could not believe it for joy and were full of amazement, he said to them,"Do you have anything here to eat?"
42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
44 Then he said to them,"These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled."
45 Then he opened their minds so that they might come to understand the Scriptures.
46 He said to them,"Thus it is written, that the Christwas to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 I am sending on you what my Father promised. But stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
50 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 While he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.
52 They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 And they were continually in the temple blessing God.

THIS WEEK: The Washington baseball team (18-11 overall, 2-7 in the Pac-10) takes on St. Martin's in a non-conference game tonight before returning to conference play this weekend at UCLA (21-11 overall, 4-5 Pac-10). The Huskies will have played six straight non-league games before trying to get back in the conference race. Tonight, the St. Martin's game begins at 6:30 p.m. and will air live on KSRB AM-1150. Due to Easter Sunday, the weekend series at UCLA will run Thursday through Saturday. Thursday and Friday's games both begin at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday's is at 1:00 p.m. All three games will also air on radio. Next week's only action is two non-Pac-10 games at the University of Portland. Here's a look at this week's games:
Tue., Apr. 10: St. Martin's at UW, 6:30 p.m. -- RHP Jeff Carlsen (1-1, 5.14)
Thu., Apr. 12: UW at UCLA, 6:00 p.m. -- RHP Shawn Kohn (3-0, 1.29)
Fri. Apr. 13: UW at UCLA, 6:00 p.m. -- RHP Clay Johnson (4-2, 6.55)
Sat., Apr. 14: UW at UCLA, 1:00 p.m. -- starter to be determined
SERIES HISTORY: Washington has played St. Martin's each of the last four years (since the Saints revived the baseball program), and won all four contests. Last season, the Huskies got homers from Jay Garthwaite, Tyler Davidson, Ed Erickson and Ben Miller (his first career hit) in a 15-5 win. The Huskies won 7-0 in 1999, 13-12 in 1998 and 18-6 in 1997, the last game ever played at Graves Field. UCLA holds a commanding 18-4 record in the series with the UW. Last season, the Bruins won two of three in L.A. (2-1, 6-7, 12-5). In the first game, UCLA's Rob Henkel fanned 18 (including the first nine in the game) and Forrest Johnson led off the ninth with a solo homer for the win. The other three UW wins in the series all came in a series sweep at Husky Ballpark in 1999, including the game in which UCLA's Bill Scott homered four times in a 16-15 Husky win.
COACH 'K': In eight seasons as the head coach of his alma mater, Ken Knutson has led the Dawgs to two Pac-10 championships, four Pac-10 Northern Division titles, two second-place finishes and three NCAA Regionals. His career overall record stands at 303-196 (.607). With those 303 wins, he is the second-winningest coach in UW history, trailing only Bob MacDonald (422). Before becoming the Husky head man in 1993, Knutson served as the Husky pitching coach for eight seasons. In 1985, his UW pitching staff led the nation with a 2.80 ERA. Knutson holds a 148-56 (.725) record in home games. He is 132-87 (.603) in conference games. Knutson has coached 35 first-team All-Pac-10 selections in eight seasons, and has been named league caoch of the year three times. A 1981 All-Pac-10 left-handed pitcher at the UW, he is joined by assistant coaches Joe Ross, Ed Gustafson, and Joe Weis and undergraduate assistant Daniel Jahn.
PROBABLE STARTERS: Here's a look at the probable starters at each position, with 2001 stats and notes:
Pos. Player, Year Avg.-HR-RBI Notes C -- Ben Johnson, Fr. .316-0-2 Started 5 of last 6 after no previous starts Tim Rice, Jr. .300-0-1 Hit safely in 5 of 7 starts since Thiel's injury Chad Yarbrough, So. .182-1-3 First career hit was HR March 28 vs. UPS1B -- Bryan Johnson, So. .298-2-26 Only Husky to have played in all 29 games2B -- John Otness, Fr. .375-0-15 Since taking over at 2B: 23-for-65, .354SS -- Tila Reynolds, So. .290-4-17 Leads with two triples, co-leader with four HR3B -- Michael Done, Jr. .413-4-21 Batted .611 (11-for-18) last weekend at HiloOF -- Tyler Davidson, So. .330-1-23 Had two hits in each of four games at HiloOF -- Jay Garthwaite, So. .292-3-28 Team leader in doubles (9) and RBI (23)OF -- Ben Miller, Jr. .361-3-11 Started all 4 at leadoff in Hilo, 5-for-5 Fri.OF -- Andre Marshall, Jr. .239-1-6 Started all 4 in CF at Hilo, HR last FridayDH -- Duggan Moran, Sr. .250-1-6 Switch hitter also plays 1B, 10 starts at DH Mike Wagner, Fr. .265-0-7 Started games 2 and 2 vs. California as the DH
ONE YEAR OLDER: Washington fielded its youngest team since 1996 last season, with four freshmen in the everyday starting lineup and only one senior on the roster. The Huskies are hoping that they can repeat what happened with that young '96 squad, which went on to win Pac-10 Championships in 1997 and 1998. This season, Washington returns 24 players that played last season, plus two redshirts. Offensively, returning players started 66 percent of last year's games, and accounted for 64 percent of the Huskies' at bats, runs and hits. Retur ners hit 46 of the Dawgs' 67 home runs (69 percent) and stole 51 of 88 stolen bases (58 percent). On the mound, the Huskies are even more experienced. Members of the 2001 roster made 156 appearances last season and accounted for 77 percent (20) of the Huskies' 26 wins and 73 percent of starts (41 of 56). Returning pitchers worked 382 innings (79 percent) and fanned 300 (76 percent).
STILL YOUNG PUPS: While Washington is fielding a much more experienced team than it did last year, it's still a very young club. If you are to break down the starting players so far this year, you'll find that freshman or sophomores have earned two-thirds of the starts. Going with the notion that 10 players start each game (pitcher and DH included), and that the Huskies have played 29 games so far, 152 starts have gone to sophomores and 42 to freshmen, for a total of 194, or 67 percent of the 290 total starts.
FRIENDLY CONFINES: Washington was very tough at home in the 1990s, posting a mark of 160-52 (.755) over those 10 seasons. Under coach Ken Knutson, the Huskies have posted a remarkable 148-56 record in home games, good for a .725 mark. In 1998, the Huskies moved into Husky Ballpark and have notched a 69-34 (.669) record so far. In three seasons, the Huskies have averaged 30 home games a year after usually having played 15 to 20 each season at old Graves Field. This season, the Dawgs are scheduled to play 26 home games.
CUBA TRIP: Last September, the Husky baseball team travelled to Cuba for a week of baseball. The Dawgs were to play four games against the Cubans, with a fifth game pitting two mixed teams (half Huskies, half Cubans) against one another. Washington went 2-2 against teams made up of Cuban pros and the mixed game was rained out. UW was the first major college team to play in Cuba.

Mauricio Pochettino has labeled Jose Mourinho an 'inspiration' ahead of Tottenham's visit to Old Trafford on Monday night.
Mourinho is under pressure at Manchester United with the mood at the club seemingly tense amid rumours of a rift between the manager and Ed Woodward and Paul Pogba.
United are looking to turn their fortunes around with a good performance against Spurs after Brighton inflicted an embarrassing defeat on the Red Devils last weekend.
Pochettino may be about to go toe-to-toe with Mourinho, but the Tottenham boss praised his rival ahead of the game.
'For every single manager who is younger than him, he was an inspiration,' Pochettino said.
'For everyone. Of course. I took a lot of things from him. So many things. He is an unbelievable manager.
'I am younger than him, of course. The circumstances that happen with me, that happen with other managers, they will happen, it is up and down.
'He is an inspirational manager for a manager like me.
'I have a very good relationship with 'Mou' from when I was a manager of Espanyol and I have full respect for him and the club.'
Pochettino will be hoping his side can stake a claim for their title credentials by beating United, while Mourinho will be desperate to see signs of improvement from his squad.
Mourinho warned United fans before the campaign began it would be a very difficult season, after a lukewarm pre-season and a disappointing transfer window.

Positives: The pracs are really good
Negatives: Units don't work with each other and everything is always due at once
My advice to future students is: Keep on top of everything
Read more
Positives: Good resources available, supportive lecturers, practical experience
Negatives: Some of the assignments and learning material seems irrelevant
My advice to future students is: It's a very full on course with a lot of work, and good drawing/ maths skill aren't as essential as you would expect
Read more
Positives: Great lecturers
Negatives: My law units clash with my ICT units, resulting in having to watch lectures at a later time
My advice to future students is: Calendar for assignments
Read more
Positives: Small class sizes mean more one on one time with tutors and knowing lecturers very well
Negatives: The uni is a bit caught up in beurocracy and the head of music at the time was very focussed on the one thing he liked (gospel music) and neglected other aspects. In an interview, the best he could say about the classical music stream was ""there are ensembles for them""!!
My advice to future students is: Being in a small town and a small faculty there is a lot you can get out of the experience but you have to be motivated and take those opportunities. You can get the piece of paper without being very proactive but it's a waste of time if you do.
Read more
Positives: Menzies is a fantastic resource
Negatives: Online units are terrible.
My advice to future students is: Be prepared for a work load
Read more
Positives: Communicating with teaching staff is almost always great. They're always willing to provide extra support when needed
Negatives: Assessment structure isn't great. There's too much emphasis placed on long, time consuming research papers that take time away from learning class content
My advice to future students is: If you're hoping to maintain full-time student status (for the purposes of maintaining centrelink) you can do this with only a 75% workload (3 units per semester).
Read more
Positives: The content is always relevant and particularly in the Bachelor of Arts degree, each week there is also a lot of information.
The teachers are engaging and know the subject intimately and so deliver a good learning experience.
Negatives: For my Bachelor of Fine Arts course there is an apparent lack of communication from Hobart to the launceston campus but that is slowly getting better, but there is also a distinct lack of content specifically for launceston on the mylo website and instead it is solely focussed on the Hobart campus.
In terms of my Bachelor of Arts degree there are no real negatives to the course.
A big negative for the double degree as a whole is that it is very frustrating not being able to complete all the necessary units each semester due to there being a cap of 100 points for classes per semester. As a result I have a lot of units I need to make up in the future and am so considering summer school if the units are available which is very frustrating.
My advice to future students is: I wish I had known how difficult it is to do a double degree because no one ever tells you that you won't be able to do all the units you need to do each semester.
Read more
Positives: A lot of freedom to choose units within major and minor as well as student electives.
Negatives: Compolsary breadth units that really don't help you with your degree at all. (Though I believe they have changed some of this now)
My advice to future students is: Read up on all the units before you enrol. Don't stress if you change your mind and major etc.
Read more
Positives: The positive aspects of the course were the units that offered an opportunity to problem solve and apply knowledge that you had gained over the duration of your studies. The lecturers are competent and have varied experience in numerous fields, some have worked in the United Nations where others have been practicing lawyers for prestigious firms and have been credited with producing graduates who now work internationally and domestically in impressive roles. The facilities available are excellent and the support staff are fantastic, students are given an opportunity to take on roles to mentor other students at no cost.
Negatives: The course structure is very rigid and there is very little wriggle room for taking classes that actually interest you. Some of the lecturers aren't the best and their teaching methods are questionable at best, and as a result there is heavy reliance on external resources (i.e textbooks, additional readings etc.). The law faculty can be very unforgiving.
My advice to future students is: There is an emphasis on mental health in the law faculty. There are statements in the majority of unit outlines regarding maintenance of mental health and the services available, and I would urge this to be taken into account when considering anything in the law faculty because it can be utterly soul crushing if you're not careful.
Read more
Positives: Acquire, critically evaluate and reflect on theories and practices of sustainable business.
Communicate information and decisions in multifaceted formats, to diverse stakeholders, while working independently or in teams.
Generate entrepreneurial ideas for businesses in regional economies and develop operational plans.
Negatives: Less practical things
Less social work things
And no volenteer jobs
My advice to future students is: My advice is to students please attend all your tutorials

The Goob
new movie nails Fenland Banger Culture
On May 29 The Goob is due to hit cinemas.
What is the Goob? Not sure. We haven't seen the film yet.
But director Guy Myhill has assembled a cast of little known, striking looking actors and has focussed on our beloved Norfolk flatlands and the car culture therein. It looks like the racing angle is the context for a coming-of-age tale of a young working class lad finding love, manhood and violence via the thrill of racing.
There's a welcome Irvine Welsh-like aesthetic and a couple of stupidly photogenic characters in front on the camera. Put that into context of a lot of beautifully slant-lit twilight shooting and for us the film looks like a winner – the sort of slice of culture that focusses on the concerns of the edges of England that's rarely looked at in the cinema.
And there's banger racing too, which is a bonus.
Trailer looks very interesting indeed.

Thrive is the largest family-owned, female-run independent PR agency in Australia and New Zealand with five offices in major cities. We work with established businesses who are transforming and brands disrupting and growing.
As a heavyweight agency, we combine the "best of both worlds" when it come to attributes of the multinational and boutique agencies ; big agency resources, investment in the best talent, unrivalled best practice standards and processes, yet coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit and the freedom to do things differently.
Thrive is a partner to big or emerging brands in the 'corp-sumer' space, where we deliver public relations and digital media services that combine new age corporate and brand communications under the one, privately owned agency umbrella.
Whether it's engaging major enterprise, SMBs or local communities, our clients love how we combine logic and magic to the way we build smart campaigns. Our digital capabilities sit within a fully integrated PR service model that allows us to deliver the basic PR services the best, yet we push the boundaries with our clients and introduce new communications methods that reshape their definition of PR. For nearly two decades we have been famous for earned media - we have hundreds of media contacts - but being independent means we are 100% accountable and we can innovate to ensure our client service is ahead of the game.
Thrive was founded in Melbourne in 2000, by Kiwi-born Leilani Abels.
At just twenty-five years of age, with a background in sports marketing and management, Leilani started the agency with a goal to raise the bar with accountability and ROI in the PR industry. Thrive's foundation clients were LVMH Watch & Jewellery, Melbourne Racing Club, Reece Group and the National Gallery of Victoria. The agency started and ran a celebrity charity gala called Starry Starry Night for The Alannah & Madeline Foundation which led to the agency becoming one of the most recognised in the market. Pitching and winning the Nike account in 2004 was the impetus for Thrive to set up shop in Sydney, which allowed Thrive to attract the best talent and the biggest local and global brands in Australia and New Zealand.
Thrive made an agency acquisition in New Zealand, and opened it first Queensland office in 2016. Its Gold Coast office was announced in early 2018.
While many others have come and gone in the PR industry since Thrive's inception, this agency has continued to go from strength to strength with the evolution of its PR services over nearly two decades.
When Leilani started Thrive she chose the company's name deliberately for its definition: To grow vigorously, flourish and be successful. "It's what I strive to deliver to my team and Thrive's clients every day," says Leilani, who today remains Managing Director for the company.
Thrive is famous for attracting and developing the industry's strongest public relations talent. Our team is a diverse mix consultants trained locally and globally. We are a team of great copywriters, creative thinkers, smart strategists and social media gurus with a nose for great news stories.
Supporting the of Australian swimmers, in partnership with Swimming Australia, Optus enlisted Thrives support to raise awareness for its Junior Dolphins program and drive a call to action to get more parent's children enrolled in the local swimming program. With the help of ambassadors, Matt Horton and Libby Trickett, the Junior Dolphin program reached thousands of parents through community events and local PR initiatives, driving sign-ups nationwide.
Thrive executed a multi-faceted campaign amplifying the much-loved GAYTMs, celebrating ANZs leadership in diversity and launching a new interactive consumer activation that allowed for thousands of 'glitter messages' to be launched from the ANZ parade float.
Underpinned by robust community driven storytelling, the campaign encompassed a media relations approach, targeted influencer program, event management and social media content curation and management management.
The end-to-end communications campaign was centered around the hero idea - Ace the Open - which celebrated every ace served at the Open by donating to one of four charity partners to improve the financial wellbeing of 100,000 Aussies.
ANZ Ace the Open was integrated into the ATL and BTL Australian Open strategy, with the Seven broadcast regularly providing tally updates, ANZ socials sharing compelling content from beneficiaries and ambassador Dylan Alcott participating in media opportunities to discuss the initiative.
In 2018, we secured and hosted 15 local and NZ media at the event, coordinated travel logistics, developed materials and managed global, regional and ANZ executive interviews. We have since generated a steady flow of 139 pieces of coverage across IT, Channel and Technology media, with extremely positive sentiment.
In partnership with the Callaway team, we devised a creative springboard - a long drive competition with Callaway's brand ambassador the man with the longest drive in the world, Joe Miller. We staged a three hundred person VIP night event on the Albert Park Golf Course, invited celebrities, media, influencers, golf retailers and VIP golf fans, and partnered with cool brands like Red Bull who pumped out tunes by one of Australia's hottest DJ Grant Smilie. We then created the ultimate celebrity play-offs where stars including AFL's Sam Fisher, Brendon Goddard and Jimmy Bartel, Socceroo Harry Kewell and model Kris Smith battled it out in a head-to-head competition to see which celebrity could deliver the longest X Hot Launch drive.
The event delivered what it promised; a star-studded turnout and wide-spread endorsement for the performance of the new driver, both in media and in the Twittersphere...and of course, the retailer enthusiasm and path to purchase platform that was intended.
Media outreach focused on highlighting the talents of the next generation of designers, 3D artists, animators and electronic musicians, delivering wide spread results across print, online and broadcast media.

I toast the nuts beforehand in a dry cast iron skillet, filling the kitchen with a deep, warm aroma. This is a lovely rich dessert, perfect to enjoy in the depths of Winter. I've shared the recipe in this week's column for Viva.

Eden Park officials are taking further steps to draw a big crowd for Saturday's Mitre 10 Cup Final between Auckland and Canterbury, with hopes of showing the All Blacks' Test afterwards on the big screens.
The incentive comes days after it was announced the game would be free entry to anyone wishing to attend the 4pm final.
As a result, fans could watch Auckland and Canterbury square off for the premiership title before the All Blacks and Wallabies face off in Yokohama at 7pm.
Eden Park chief executive Nick Sautner told Radio Sport today there are still a few hoops to jump through before the concept gets the go ahead though, with NZR and Sky TV yet to sign off on the idea.
"There are a few things that we need to get in place to make sure that everyone's happy, but I'm very confident," he said.
"Let's hope the weather's great and we get a big turnout and then people can sit out on the field and watch the game from Japan."
However, Auckland Rugby chief executive Jarrod Bear admitted they weren't sure what a "big turnout" would actually look like.
"Given we've never opened the gates before [for free entry], and I'm not sure there's been an event like it, really we have no historical data to be able to forecast it," Bear told Radio Sport.
"We just hope everyone enjoys the opportunity and takes it up and gets behind the team."

My trademark spring look, boho chic.
Spring is here and everyone is getting excited for the change of the season. Spring not only means that the weather is warmer and the flowers are blooming, but also that there are new fashion trends to peruse. With all of these great new beginnings, it's impossible not to get excited for spring!
Even though there are so many great things about this season, many women dread the change because warmer weather usually means more revealing clothes. It can be difficult for any woman to shed her winter layers and expose herself to the world.
Here are some tips to help women confidently wear this spring's fashion trends:
Start with basics that fit perfectly
Every woman needs to have a few essential items in her closet that she can pair with any outfit and feel fabulous in. some of these basics usually include a great pair of jeans, thong underwear, and a few layering t-shirts. Starting with these basics can help any woman rock a new trend with confidence.
Add a new twist to a trademark look
Most women have a trademark look, or a go-to style that they loved last spring and summer. Anyone can use these looks to create a new and fun trend that they will be able to wear easily and comfortably. For example, if last year a woman could not be separated from her maxi dresses, this year, she could try wearing a crop top over the dresses to create a new style.
Use light layers to cover up
Even though the weather is warming up, women can still use some layers to make each outfit a little less revealing and more comfortable. Most women will use sheer fabrics that are lightweight but still solid enough to cover any areas they are less comfortable with. This year's mesh trends are perfect for this.
Focus on quality over quantity
Many women make the mistake of buying trendy pieces that are made of cheap fabrics and overall poorly made. Though this may seem like the best financial decision at the time, it is almost always better for women to invest in higher quality items. These pieces will not only last longer, but they will also be more flattering to a woman's figure.
Only wear the trends you really love
Even though the media may tell a different story, not all trends are made for everyone. Women should recognize when a certain trend does not fit their style and avoid wasting money on something they will never wear. Instead, a woman can use her own style to make new trends and fads that she can feel proud of.
Take a chance on color
One of the best trends that always makes its way into spring fashion is bright color. Every woman can find one bright color that they love and that flatters their skin tone. This season, many women are trying out bright pink or coral, which is great on almost every skin tone.
Finishing touch with accessories
The best way to put the exclamation point to your new spring outfits is with fun accessories. Adding a great pair of sunnies, gemstone earrings and necklaces and a festive handbag lightens up your look after all the heaviness of winter.

There is no doubt that the holiday season is crazy for everyone. From entertaining family to buying holiday gifts, there seems to be so many things to do and never enough time to do it. However, many women tend to feel like this any time of the year. Women are selfless in nature, always wanting to give more and do more for the people they can about. These desires are often the most intense around the holidays when women want to make everything perfect for their friends and family.
Many women forget that the holidays are about so much more than just giving the best gift and having a perfectly decorated home. The holiday season first gained its popularity because it was a time for friends and family to relax and enjoy each other's company, being thankful for everything they have been blessed with that year. Every woman should take some time to stop worrying about pleasing everyone in her life with tangible things and think more about how she can show appreciation for them.
Here are some ways women can stay grounded during the holiday season:
Make a list
No, not talking about a holiday gift list. Women should make another list, a list of all the things that they were grateful for this year. This can be a great activity for women to do with their families to bond or on their own for some self-reflection. This list can be a great way to remind women of all the special things in their lives and help them appreciate everything they are blessed with.
Use some props
Many women can benefit from using some tools to help them remember why the holiday season is important. Tangible items can be very helpful as reminders for women of their goals and blessings. Women can use pictures around their home, an inspirational app on their phone or even a piece of jewelry that has special meaning to help remind women of their goals and what it most important in their lives.
Take some weight off those shoulders
Women are often left feeling like that they have to do everything during the holiday season. Women feel they have to take care of everyone, but that is not always practical. Women should try to take some of that pressure off by delegating some other friends or family members to take on some of the holiday responsibilities. For example, instead of cooking an entire meal for a group of people along, women can ask each guest to bring an item to the dinner to take away some of the stress. This adds more personality to the dinner and makes for good table conversation for the holiday meal.
Focus on new goals instead of failures
Women can sometimes beat themselves up too much for not accomplishing everything they wanted too. They think that they should have been there for their family more over the past year, or they should have lost more weight before those holiday parties arrive. Instead of beating themselves up over and over for 'failing', women should focus on the goals they can set for the next year and what they have accomplished this year. This can help women feel more confident as they face old family and friends over the holidays and help them stay positive when entering into the New Year.
Never let guilt rule holiday decisions
Women forget sometimes that they always have control over their decisions, especially during the holidays. Women feel guilty to turn down a party invite or not give someone a gift, but they need to keep the big picture in mind. Women need to remember not to spread themselves too thin over the holidays and instead focus their attention on a few things. When giving gifts, women should not focus so much on the price of each gift, but instead on the meaning behind each gift. Giving an inexpensive gift that preserves a special memory is much more meaningful than an expensive gift that will be forgotten about by next year.
Stay happy this holiday!

You are a rare specimen. I know that's a random way of starting this blog, but its true! The fact that you are alive is confirmation that you have purpose. Out of MILLIONS of sperm and hundreds of thousands eggs, YOU WERE SELECTED TO BE HERE. This is simply amazing. In case you didn't know, it only takes 1 sperm, and 1 egg to create a baby, and in that particular moment, you were created. This is phenomenal. There is a specific reason why you are here, and your purpose is directly linked to your passion.
Let's talk passion today…
We all have our passions & interest. The problem comes when we fall into a hypnotic rhythm of imitating the lives of others, and fail to realize our own uniqueness. Those who are truly great and legendary are the ones who pursed their curiosities even when it was contrary to what everyone else was doing around them. They did not fear the opinions of others, they simply acted on their hearts desires and in turn, they made a significant contribution to the world. The problem with mass media and social media is that when you are so focused on the lives of others it can be a distraction and distort your thinking, making you believe that you are supposed to be in a position that you are not.
Truth is…
you are right where you need to be and as soon as you take your eyes off everyone else's purpose you can start pursuing your own.
Don't be afraid of your own happiness or success.
The world NEEDS that authentic thing you have to offer.
Imitating the masses is a sure way of neglecting your true calling. Dig deep to find your OWN creative voice. Copying is easy. Many people can do it and it makes money, but there is no rewarding feeling at the end of it. When you pursue your passions, that "rewarding" feeling is worth more than any dollar amount.
Take some time to revisit the things that captivate you.
The things that make your heart skip a beat or have you up for hours, researching, studying, dreaming etc. When you are really excited or passionate about something that is a green light that you are headed in the right direction. Some people have a misconception that discovering your purpose is supposed to be a drawn out struggle. It is actually the polar opposite. You are co-creating this life with the ultimate creator (God) and he has instilled a gift in you that will spark your interest.
It is important to act and dive deeper into even the most subtle passions that may seem random and pointless. For instance, if you have a passion for drawing on the ground with chalk, you may be able to start a campaign writing positive quotes on college campuses. As crazy as it may sound, extraordinary things happen when you take time to learn what drives you. God didn't create anything that is not gifted. Master who you are, instead of being pre-occupied with everyone else.
As we head into the new year, I want you to rediscover your passions. Take some time to reflect back on what interested you as a child, and be confident on your pursuit of purpose. I can't stress enough how living your purpose truly serves the world.
If your passions don't line up with all the degrees you have received or career path you've been on, do not fear. It's better to start now, than to look back 30 years from now, realizing you let all your passions die.
So…join me in re-discovering our passions and unwrapping the beautiful gift God has given us. #GettingMyLife #PurposeGoneWild (Hashtag! I want to see your success & progress.)

Dawn walking in the "Dress4Yellow" fashion show, which celebrates cancer survivors.
Bad hair days. Ugh! We've all had them, right? You spend 45 minutes drying and curling your other-wise stick straight hair and single-handedly deplete a portion of the ozone layer with hairspray to keep your 'do in place. Then, you walk outside only to be greeted by Mother Nature who whips up the wind and challenges the humidity to reach an all-time high, and you can almost hear her sarcastic laugh crackling in the wind as you feel your curls succumb to the elements.
Yep, it stinks.
But, everything is relative.
What if your bad hair day began when you took wig tape and stretched it across the perimeter of your bald head while you prayed the tape would be strong enough to withstand Mother Nature? Losing your curls to the humidity is one thing. Losing your wig to the wind is…well, a nightmare.
And, the bad hair day continues as you try to recreate the eye brows you once complained about having to wax so often. The cu-de-gyres, of course, is gluing false lashes to your eye lid without the guidance of a single eye lash. You get so frustrated, you consider giving up until the thought of continuing to look like an alien surpasses your urge to quit.
I wish I could tell you I'm describing a scene from a bad movie, but the truth is I was the star of this real-life nightmare. I was 46 years-old, married to my soul mate and husband of nearly 25 years. Together, we were raising our12-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son, and I was enjoying a successful career as a fashion stylist. Then, one day I woke up with a lump on my sternum. It, literally, grew overnight. I had been to several doctors prior to that day because I was having difficulty breathing and received a series of inconclusive diagnoses. But, this time, I knew something was wrong, really wrong.
Dawn & her family shortly after diagnoses.
The next day I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had about a quart of fluid drained from my lungs – fluid that wasn't draining through my lymphatic system because it was no longer capable of doing its job. Instead, the cancer-filled lymph nodes formed a 9-centimeter mass between my lungs, and the lump on my sternum was the outward manifestation of that mass. Within a week, I underwent a biopsy of the mass, a biopsy of my bone marrow, a PET scan, and had a port placed underneath my skin through which I began my chemotherapy treatment. I was given a 70% chance of making a full recovery.
Eventually, I had a 100 hours of chemotherapy treatment. It rid my body of cancer and, simultaneously, it rid me of my femininty and my dignity.
As a fashion stylist, I've often said, "The way you look on the outside is a reflection of who you are on the inside." So, what does a 9-centimeter mass of cancer-filed lymph nodes positioned between your lungs look like? I don't think anyone wants to know the answer to that question.
Yet, despite everything I've just written, the most ironic thing happened to me during the first few months of my treatment. Although I was on a sabbatical, I decided to attend a book-signing party given in honor of one of my clients. A woman, not just any woman, a 6-foot-tall, redheaded fashion icon, said to me, "You look radiant."
With supportive husband, Jon.
I was speechless. I just stared at her until her very polite and intuitive husband broke the awkward silence between us and commented on..well, truth be told…I don't know what he said, but his voice was exactly what I needed to hear in order to find my own voice.
Radiant. Now that was an interesting choice of words, I thought to myself. You see, she didn't know about my diagnosis, she didn't know I was wearing a wig, she didn't know how it took every ounce of strength I could muster, mentally and physically, to be standing in front of her at that very moment.
Then, of course, I told her. Our conversation from that point forward is one I will always treasure for many, many reasons. But, perhaps, the most important reason is that I came to realize the deeper meaning behind the advice I had been dishing out all these years.
With beautiful daughter, Erica – rockin' her wig.
Despite the fact that I was a cancer-filled mess, standing a death's door, and fighting for my life, I was spiritually stronger than ever before. I felt the presence of God in a way that I've never really been able to capture in words. I felt like I had been chosen – like so many of the biblical figures I'd grown to admire – I'd been chosen to glorify God. He knew that I would credit Him for healing me; I would lead others to Him through my unshakable faith; and I would be a living example of His power and grace.
A toast to good life at the "Eternally Grateful" party Dawn & her family threw for everyone who helped them on this journey.
Dawn speaking at the 2013 St. Valentine's Day Fashion Show & Luncheon – sharing her journey and encouraging others to give to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
So, I was radiant after all. Radiant from the glow of the Holy Spirit shining so brightly that even my wig, my penciled-in eyebrows and my false eye lashes couldn't overshadow its glow, and shedding a new perspective on the adage, "The way you look on the outside is a reflection of who you are on the inside."

The holiday season is nearing fast, which can send many women into a sense of panic. There are a lot of things to do before the holiday season is over, from buying presents to securing travel plans, the holidays can be a hectic time for any woman. One of the things that women often stress about the most is attending their holiday parties.
Holiday parties are meant to bring people together to celebrate, but often women create a lot of anxiety around these events. From finding the right thing to wear to deciding what to bring to even deciding how long to be at a party, there are a lot of little details that women feel the need to work out before the day of the holiday party. Most importantly, women should let themselves have fun at their holiday party. However, there are a few simple rules that women should follow to ensure that their holiday parties are a success.
Here are some of the most common mistakes women make at holiday parties:
Wearing something too sexy to an office party
Office parties can be a little confusing for women to dress for. Women can get confused between dressing work appropriate and dressing for a party. This is a balance that is not always easy to find. So many women just let loose and wear what they would wear to a club. Women have to remember that even though it is a party, it is in a workplace setting, so the attire should be festive, but still work appropriate.
Relying too much on the LBD
A good LBD, or little black dress, is always a great option for any special occasion. A LBD that makes a women feel beautiful and confident is always a good choice, but women should not let it be their only fashion statement. Holiday parties are about sparkle and fun, so a woman's outfit should reflect that. Women can add some statement jewelry or a bright handbag to their LBD for a more festive look.
Spending too much time at the bar
Drinking is a part of almost any holiday party, and there is nothing wrong with a woman having a few cocktails to celebrate, but they should be enjoyed in moderation. There is nothing worse than being the annoying woman at a party who has had one too many drinks. Women should limit themselves and have a glass of water after each drink.
Doubling up on gifts
Many women make the mistake of combining birthday, anniversary or even wedding gifts with holiday gifts. Women should instead give appropriate groomsmen gifts and birthday gifts at the appropriate time, and give a new gift for the holiday party. Each gift may need to be smaller or less expensive because of this, but the gesture will mean a lot more to the recipient.
Spending too much time with one group of people
Women are often time invited to holiday parties where they might not know everyone, or even very many people. This can be uncomfortable and nerve-racking for any woman (avoid the excessive drinking here!) and she might want to just stick around the people that she knows. Holidays are meant for gathering and mingling, and holiday parties can be the perfect opportunity to meet new people and network. Women should step outside their comfort zone and talk to some new people at their holiday parties, they might just get a great opportunity or new friendship out of it!
Inviting guests who were not invited by the host
Women want to have their 'entourage' with them as they head to their holiday parties. This may seem harmless, but it can be a big issue for the host if a woman brings other people who were not invited to the party. Women should put themselves in the position of the host and see if they would do the same thing. The host might not have enough food, drinks or even space for extra people, so women should leave the entourage at home and enjoy the people already at the party, taking advice from the previous point.
All of these tips can help any woman have a fantastic time at all of her holiday parties this year and make her a total pro at mixing & mingling!

Jonathan Remains PDP Candidate In 2015 – Bamanga Tukur
The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has declared that President Goodluck Jonathan is the party's presidential candidate in 2015 general elections. Bamanga Tukur disclosed this during the inauguration of National PDP Councillors' Forum in Abuja. He further told the party faithful not to be deterred by people leaving for other parties saying that even if they leave the PDP the party remains. He further maintained that PDP remains the strongest and biggest party in Nigeria and Africa insisting that the party is insurmountable.
He said, "Don't be deterred by some people saying they are leaving the party. People leaving the party are individuals not the party. It doesn't mean if they leave the party the party leaves. No, the party remains. PDP is the only party in Nigeria that fields a candidate in every election that is held. Don't be deterred; don't be afraid, you are part of the ruling party."
He further tasked the councillors on the role they have to play in making sure that Jonathan wins the 2015 election.
In his remarks the former governorship candidate of the PDP in Edo State Major General Charles Arhiavbere(rtd) said the inauguration showed that the members of PDP are solidly behind President Goodluck Jonathan even as he advised the executives to reach out to the 13 states including Edo State that is not under PDP and bring them under the umbrella of the party.
Speaking on the letter written to President Jonathan by former president Olusegun Obasanjo, the former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha said that Obasanjo should play a fatherly role and stop acting the way he was doing. He maintained that Obasanjo's present style was what made the former head of state late General Sani Abacha to put him in prison.
He said, "That was exactly what he was doing till Abacha put him in prison, the same style, he has started again. Anyway I don't think he has advisers. If he has advisers they will call him to order . He is not the only statesman we have in this country. Yes, I respect him as former president. He has contributed also to the sustenance of democracy even in the military, he played a significant role. We acknowledge all that but power is transit. When you finish your tenure you hand over the baton to others and support the person in power and not to pull him down," he added. – (L)
