Sisterhood ahsilver 2019-11-25T11:50:25-06:00
The Sisterhood of Temple Beth-El is a vibrant, active group of women, who are directly involved in the daily life of our Synagogue. Although our membership is diverse, our common bond as Conservative Jewish women unites us in our dedication to the values of traditional Judaism in the home, synago gue and community.
Our programming each year is varied and may include such things as a movie night, a mitzvah mixer supporting named charities, our famous Chanukah lunch and bake sale and various educational programs.
Our Sisterhood publishes a comprehensive membership directory which includes names and addresses of our members as well as important information such as dates of the Jewish holidays and Shabbat candle lighting times for the coming year.
We also publish a "Book of Remembrance" in which members can list the names of their loved ones who are no longer with us. This is used for all 4 Yizkor services during the year, beginning with Yom Kippur.
We are very proud of our Sisterhood Judaica Gift Shop, the premier shop of its kind in the state. Our Judaica Gift Shop is available anytime the office is open. Your purchases for life cycle events, hostess gifts, or your own home come back to the synagogue in our budget allocations.
Our state-of-the-art koshe r kitchens are available for all Synagogue functions, and remain busy throughout the year.
Temple Beth El's children are a top priority for Sisterhood, and it is our pleasure to supply them with funds for Camp Ramah Darom scholarships, youth activities, and the needs of our Religious School. We host a yearly Chanukah luncheon, and our annual fundraiser is the highlight of the year.
Of course, as members of the Women's League of Conservative Judaism, we support the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Masorti movement.
For more information regarding our Sisterhood, please call the office at 205-933-2740.
Sisterhood dues are only $36 per year. Click here to join online or mail a check with your name, address, phone and email to:

The Torah Fund
Every woman has the opportunity to participate in preserving, promoting and perpetuating Conservative/Masorti Judaism through active giving to the Torah Fund Campaign of Women's League in support of The Jewish Theological Seminary (New York, NY), Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies (Los Angeles, CA) and the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies (Jerusalem).
The 2019-2020 Torah Fund campaign has officially begun, and this year's theme is CHESED (kindness, lovingkindness), to convey the deep love that animates Jewish acts of kindness, done without thought of reward. The new pin which depicts a heart surrounded by three circles, one larger than the next. This symbolizes the heart of kindness, which Jews enact in ever-widening realms of generosity: from family, to community, to the larger world; from North America, to Israel, to the world, or from Sisterhood to Region to the larger world of Women's League for Conservative Judaism.
As it is says in Psalm 89: "May we build a world of kindness." This theme is particularly meaningful for us as members of the Temple Beth-El community, and so it is all the more fitting for us as supporters of the Torah Fund campaign.
Hannah Helman and Arlene Fisher are co-chairing this year's campaign, and we hope that you will join us in raising much needed funds for our future generations of rabbis, cantors, educators and administrators, synagogue administrators, social workers, scholars, professional and lay leaders, and researchers. Last year we raised $11,000+, and we hope to surpass that number this year.
Benefactor – $180
Guardian – $300 (pin has a pearl)
Associate Patron – $600 (pin has a ruby)
Patron – $1200
We send out weekly emails with event information, reminders, scheduling times, and other announcements. It's a great way to stay in touch with the community.

This little project combined a few things I had lying around. I hope you like how they all come together in this little DIY tray that would be perfect for holiday or coffee table styling. I was given some random speakers a friend came across. She knows I like junk. 🙂 Aren't they the coolest? When I got them I took them apart and had to give them a massive bath. I thought they would be great pedestals and as I was messing with them this past week the idea of making them jingle bells occurred to me.
I was already knee deep in this DIY tray with a fun pedestal base so I rolled with that and painted one speaker shell black with satin finish spray paint. Next I had a leftover piece of wood I was going to use for a locker shelf, but ended up not needing it, so I made it my tray base.
Over the summer I met the sweet ladies from M-D Building products and got some great sheet metal to work with. I have been wanting to try some different things with their cool products, this was my first go at it. The metal sheets are super easy to cut with tin snip scissors, so I cut the edges of a sheet to fit my piece of wood.
I nailed the two long sides in place with fat head finishing nails. For the ends, I bent the metal sheet so it would hug the outside of the side pieces and nailed it in place. This makes the corners "finished". The metal was super easy to work with, easy to form and nail.
I have this sweet tray displayed on top of the speaker pedestal…what do you think, do you like the tray alone or on the base? I haven't glued it yet because I can't decide. I think it would look pretty with greenery around the base and candles or decor on the tray. I'd really like to her your opinion on this one please!?
Use it like that. Then you have the two. Unless people touch it, it should be fine. Then you can use it for bells too. I do like it as you picture. The tray is beautiful. Love the speakers too.
thanks and I thought that too, love options!!!
Waaaaay to much fun! I love your imagination! But I want to see the bell….
🙂 I am thinking the bells will be coming soon!
I love the tray, but not on the base.
thank you for letting me know, I think the tray is awesome too! I was on the fence with the base!
I like it as a base but as a bell might be super cute.
I love your tray but not with the base, i would love to see a bell made out of base. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
thanks Marlene, I think that will be happening soon!
I need to work on those bells!

UH-Hilo roundup: Vulcans lose grip on sixth with costly loss
By MATT GERHART Hawaii Tribune-Herald | Friday, February 8, 2019, 10:36 p.m.
This one could leave a mark.
UH-Hilo men's basketball team was badly outrebounded and ultimately outplayed by Academy of Art on Friday night, losing 68-63 at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium to fall a half-game behind the Urban Knights in the race for the sixth and final spot in the Pacific West Conference tournament.
The Vulcans (9-10, 7-8) could have solidified their hold on the sixth spot, but instead they'll look for answers with little margin for error heading into their home game against Dominican on Sunday night.
James Griffin scored 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting for UHH, but Academy of Art (8-13, 8-8) commanded a 44-24 advantage on the boards.
"You aren't ever going to win a game with those kinds of rebound totals," Vuls coach GE Coleman said in a release. "We have to find a way to beat the teams behind us and win a few of those ahead of us in the standings. That just sets up an even bigger game on Sunday night against Dominican."
Stefan Milivojevic scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half, including a 3-pointer that gave the Knights the lead for good, 41-38 with 14:36 remaining.
In the women's game, UHH surpassed 80 points for the first time this season and earned its biggest margin of victory this year, routing the Urban Knights 84-51.
Allie Navarette scored a career-high 32 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for the Vuls (7-12, 4-11), who have won two in a row. Alyssa Movchan added 14 points.
Lily Perkins led the Urban Knights (3-16, 2-14) with 25 points.
At Wong Stadium, UHH split its season-opening doubleheader against Hawaii Pacific, winning 10-3 before losing 11-3.
• The UH-Hilo softball team's bats came alive in a pair of wins, 19-0 over Chadron (Neb.) State and 8-4 over Metro State (Colo.), at the Dixie State Classic in Utah.
In the 19-0 five-inning TKO win over the Eagles, Billi Derleth tossed a five-hitter, walked one and struck out three and was backed by homers from Kimberly Olivas, Kiarra Lincoln, Rayla Jacobs-Kea, and Skylar Thomas.
Lincoln batted 3 for 3 with four RBIs, Olivas, Markie Okamoto, Thomas, and Jaycie Bruno had two hits apiece. Olivas, Jacobs-Rea, Okamoto, and Thomas each had two RBIs.
In the second game, Jacobs-Kea hit a three-run double in the sixth inning to power the Vulcans over the Roadrunners, 8-4. She batted 2 for 4 with three RBIs.
Liilii Vevesi and Danielle Antolin each went 3 for 3, and Okamoto had two RBIs against Metro State.
Leah Gonzales picked up the win with two scoreless innings in relief.
The Vulcans (4-3) close the tourney on Saturday against Colorado Mesa, the defending RMAC champion.

Coins For Abbott : Indonesians Rally to Repay Tsunami Aid, Call Australian PM 'Shylock'
Obama pimp elephant ears Abbot at his illiterate best; one wonders where in the hell 18 pounds of heroin came from as it was surely not grown and processed here in Indonesia
Indonesians have mobilized in record numbers to collect cash for the Australian PM, who touched a raw nerve by bringing up Australia's $1 bn in tsunami relief aid to Jakarta while making a clemency appeal for convicted drug traffickers.
"How about another ton of that Chicago smack there,
blood? It's all good!"
Images of Australian Prime Minister Tonny Abbott with red tape crossed over his mouth can be seen all over Indonesia, particularly in Jakarata. Loads of silver coins are covering banners spread on the ground – all part of the "repay" protest campaign that has spread like a bushfire across the island nation.
As part of the international relief effort for the 2004 earthquake and tsunami off the west coast of Sumatra that killed more than 100,000 people, Australia was quick to offer $1 billion in aid relief.
READ MORE: Death row Aussies in Indonesia: Australia wants clemency, threatens 'pulling foreign aid'
Speaking this week, Abbott hinted that it is time for the Asian nation to repay its debt by freeing two members of the famous Bali Nine, currently on a death row. The Bali Nine was a name given to a group of nine Australians who were arrested in Bali in 2005 Bali for planning to smuggle 8.3 kg (18 lb) of heroin, valued at over $3 million, from Indonesia to Australia.
"Let's not forget that a few years ago when Indonesia was struck by the Indian Ocean tsunami, Australia sent a billion dollars worth of assistance," Abbot said. "I would say to the Indonesian people and the Indonesian government: we in Australia are always there to help you and we hope that you might reciprocate in this way at this time," the PM stated, referring to death-row Australian nationals Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.
The plea sparked a fierce backlash, with Indonesians comparing Tony Abbott to Shakespeare's Shylock, the moneylender in The Merchant of Venice who demanded a pound of flesh if his loans weren't paid back.
In order to rebuff the Australian PM, the nation of 250 million is now collecting pocket change to repay the"loan" Australia had once provided.
"Australians need a prime minister, not a Shylock and drug dealer's cousin," read a banner during Sunday's protest. A Twitter campaign using the hashtags #KoinuntukAustralia, #coinforAustralia and #coinforAbbott has also generated a lot of steam.

month. Photo: Anta Kesuma
While on the diplomatic front, the country's leadership seemed satisfied by the explanation offered by the Australians on Friday, many ordinary Indonesians remain enraged.
During a protest on Sunday, thousands rallied to express their anger and continue to coin collection campaign.
The Pro-Indonesia Coalition, for example, organized a "Coin for Australia" movement during a car-free day at a roundabout near Hotel Indonesia.
"Let us not let our dignity being bought by Tony Abbot," action coordinator Andi Sinulingga said at the event.
Rian, one of the event organizers, told the Sydney Morning Herald that it was a joy delivering the coins to the Australian embassy, saying that if every person donates one coin, which has a population of 250 million, Indonesia could pay back the "small amount of money donated by Australia."
Idiot PM should thank Indonesian authorities for
keeping 18 pounds of smack off the streets of AU
"So, don't you ever mention something as tiny as $1 billion in relief for us," Rian said. "We are a nation that refuses to be colonized, a nation that would like to tell other nations not to try to destroy this republic."
Indonesia plans to execute 11 convicts on death row, including the drug convicts from Australia, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, whose clemency pleas had been rejected by President Joko Widodo. Earlier this week, however, the vice president's office said that the execution of two Australian smugglers had been delayed by up to one month.
Indonesia executed six drug offenders in January, including five foreigners, prompting Brazil and the Netherlands to recall their ambassadors.

Little Dot MkIII tube amp just dropped. What are your thoughts on this matching with the Purplehearts? Currently I don't listen with headphones at all. Just wanted to try something like this or HE400S'.
Stay away from OTL tube amps and low independence amps. 300 to 600 ohm OTL is very very good. Th00 are just 25ohm but do benefit from good clean power. Depends what your budget is there are good amps out there. For $250 check out Schiit asgard2. Or at least vali2 with upgraded tube with a sweet mid range like mullards.

Hear That Buzz? It's World Bee Day!
All hail the honey bee. (Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)
Hear that buzz? Today is World Bee Day!
We celebrate honey bees every day, but they are especially celebrated on May 20, World Bee Day. It's an annual day to raise awareness about the importance of bees and beekeeping. It's a day to acknowledge the industriousness of Apis mellifera, their role in our lives, and their place in our ecosystem. Bees pollinate a third of the food we eat.
A bit of history: The United Nations approved Slovenia's proposal to proclaim May 20 as World Bee Day in December of 2017. Slovenia also sought to pay tribute to noted beekeeper and native son Anton Janša (1734-1773) of Carniola (now Slovenia), a pioneer of modern apiculture, a noted painter, and an apiculture teacher at the Habsburg Court in Vienna.
Janša became a full-time beekeeper in 1769. He began by tending his father's 100 hives, but a year later, he received a royal appointment as Austria's teacher of apiculture. He kept bees in the imperial gardens (Augarten) and traveled the country, eager to present information about his beloved bees.
Janša "became famous for his lectures in which he demonstrated his knowledge of bees," according to Wikipedia. "He also wrote two books in German: Discussion on Beekeeping and A Full Guide to Beekeeping. The latter was published in 1775, after his death. In Full Guide, Janša noted: Bees are a type of fly, hardworking, created by God to provide man with all needed honey and wax. Amongst all God's beings there are none so hard working and useful to man with so little attention needed for its keep as the bee."

Janša is known for "changing the size and shape of hives to a form where they can be stacked together like blocks," according to Wikipedia. "As a painter, he also decorated the fronts of hives with paintings." Slovenia beekeepers preserved his Janša Beehive and also erected a plaque at his home. A Yugoslavian stamp (1973) bears his portrait.
A tip of the veil to Anton Janša!
More locally, the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, part of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, celebrated bees during the "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work" Day. UC Davis employees and their offspring visited the half-acre garden on Bee Biology Road, admiring the flowers and the six-foot-long bee sculpture, Miss Bee Haven, that anchors the garden. The ceramic-mosaic sculpture is the work of Donna Billick of Davis, a self-described "rock artist."
Anton Janša would have felt right at home!
Among the bee haven visitors that day were two beekeepers: elementary school student Adelaide Grandia of Woodland and her grandfather Dwight Grandia of Gulf Shores, Alabama, who has kept bees for 39 years. "I've had hives in the Atlanta area for 25 years and in northern Alabama for 10 years," he said. "I'm teaching my granddaughter beekeeping." He recently set up a bee hive for her.
"My grandpa is a beekeeper," Adelaide said, "and a pilot." Her mother, UC Davis Professor Liza Grandia of Native American Studies, is also interested in bees.
David Hernandez, who works in the Facilities Management Steam Shop, brought his sons, Aayden, 10, and Evan, 8. They checked out the garden, installed in the fall of 2009, and gathered for a photo behind the pollinator cut-out board, as did colleague Kris McBride of the Facilities Management Steam Shop and son, Deegan, 4-1/2.
UC Davis staff employee Xu Chunying and son, Andy, delighted in the catch-and-release activity, in which youths catch bees in a vacuumlike tube device, examine them, and then release them. Honey bees, native bees and carpenter bees are favorite subjects.
Ariel Cormier, who works in the Office of the Chancellor and Provost as manager of Budget and Financial Analysis, attended with her eight-year-old twin daughters Casey and Gabrielle. They delighted in the bees, blossoms, and the beautiful day.
The Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, is open to the public from dawn to dusk. Admission is free. Group tours are also available for a small charge. For more information, access the website.

A look back at Bolivian Baroque
Ashley SolomonTue 16th August 2016
The Director of Florilegium, Ashley Solomon, on a life-changing recording project
As I sit on a crowded train heading (slowly) towards Axminster and Florilegium's concert in the Branscombe Festival I have one of those rare opportunities to take stock and look back over a quarter of a century of music making with Florilegium. Neal Peres da Costa and I set up our ensemble in 1991 to 'share and enjoy the rich variety of baroque and classical chamber music with friends and colleagues'. This wonderfully naive quote opened our first mission statement back then and despite the passage of time not much has really changed in that sentiment over the years. Membership of Florilegium has naturally evolved over this period, but we have been tremendously lucky in our concert life, performing over 1000 concerts in major concert halls all over the world, and have also managed to build a substantial and varied discography with our Dutch record company Channel Classics. This month sees our latest release (our 27th collaboration) to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and we have returned unsurprisingly to the varied music of Telemann, pre-empting his major anniversary next year. This recording of concertos for multiple instruments with some unusual combinations showcases many of the exceptional musicians who make up the core of the ensemble and demonstrate the breadth and truly international style of composition that is the hallmark of this prolific composer. We are also joined by the mezzo-soprano Clare Wilkinson in a charming cantata from Telemann's collection entitled Der Harmonische Gottesdienst.
As an instrumentalist I have always valued our collaborations with vocalists who bring a new dimension to our chamber music projects, inspiring us to think more vocally and express a text especially in our instrumental music. Over the years we have been fortunate to work with some outstanding singers in the field of early music both in live performances and on CD.
However, over this quarter of a century of music making, one particular project has not only left a lasting impression on me but has had wider educational implications than I couldn't ever have imagined. I am thinking of Bolivia and our work out there over the last 14 or so years since our first invitation to take part in the 3rd International Festival of Renaissance and Baroque Music Misiones de Chiquitos in 2002. This festival based in Santa Cruz celebrates music from the archives that has been preserved and recently restored, and forms the rich cultural heritage known as Missional Baroque. In several of the Jesuit Mission Churches in the Amazonian jungle to the east of Bolivia there exist archives with manuscripts stretching back to the 16th century, music taken to Bolivia (then known as Paraguay) by the Missionaries (mainly Jesuits) and used to convert the local Indians to Christianity. To date we know of close to 20,000 pages of manuscripts held in three main archives.
Many of us remember the film The Mission with Robert de Niro and Jeremy Irons back in the 1980s when the wonderful film score, composed by Ennio Morricone allowed us to imagine the sort of music that might have been used in this religious conversion. This was before the discovery of these archives by the musicologist and priest Father Piotr Nawrot. Now there are close to 40 volumes of music published from these archives. I have been fortunate enough to work closely with Father Piotr, Bolivian singers, first soloists and then the choir Arakaendar Bolivia, as well as instrumentalists, helping them to learn and perform this music, and in so doing promoting this rich cultural heritage through recordings and performances within Bolivia and further afield.
Our projects have been the subject of a "60 minute" documentary for the American CBS channel, the Dutch TV network as well as radio programmes across Europe and the Americas, in addition to three recordings. Convincing Channel Classics to come and record the first volume in Concepcion, the church where many of the first manuscripts were discovered was relatively straightforward. Shipping 300kgs of equipment out from Holland to Bolivia via Brazil and then on to Concepcion for the recording was reasonably challenging. Trying to build a sound proof space in the Church where Jared and I could produce the recording was at first practically impossible. In the end we had to sew Alpaca blankets together to make a sound proof 'space' in the loft area of the church. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but with temperatures outside climbing to 38 degrees centigrade, humidity around 92% and having to record during the day, the wooden roof heated up beautifully and we had our own home made sauna. It was certainly a challenging environment to produce our first volume of Bolivian Baroque.
I have enjoyed many memorable experiences in Bolivia over the years, built strong friendships with musicians and supporters in a country whose basic infrastructure at the start of our journey was fragile. The promotion of this extraordinary archive has been my own particular mission over the last few years and as new manuscripts still continue to appear, we become increasingly aware of the breadth of musical achievement this country has to offer the rest of the world. In turn this helps us to re-evaluate and contextualise the important contribution this enormous archive has made to the history of baroque and classical music.

Is Legal Marijuana In Hawaii Inevitable?
Hawaii may be known for its Maui Wowie, but adult use remains illegal in the state. Its medical program began in 2000 by allowing qualified patients to grow up to seven plants, but dispensaries stocked with state-approved product began to appear only in 2017.
Hawaii's regional neighbors, however, have moved forward with adult use legalization. In the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory, an adult use legalization bill was signed in 2018. Alaska legalized in 2014, California in 2016, Oregon effectively in 2015, and Washington in 2012. In 2019, Hawaii seems poised to follow suit.
As the state legislature convened in 2019, its Democratic leadership announced that adult use legalization would be a priority, along with raising the minimum wage to $15. Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English said that the push for legalization has reached "a tipping point." Lawmakers have pointed out that Hawaii's geography has made legalization difficult, given the power of the federal government over the island state's commerce.
Given the party's trifecta control of both houses of the legislature as well as the governor's office, it seems likely that it will succeed, at least in some form, in delivering on those three promises in 2019. For example, an increase in the minimum wage to $15, together with adult-use legislation that sets aside tax revenue for education could address all three issues.
Hawaii is not the only state whose Democratic leaders have voiced support for recreational legalization in 2019. In Connecticut, Ned Lamont won the governor's office after saying that legalization is "an idea whose time has come," and a Republican house member who opposes legalization has conceded that a bill seems likely to reach Lamont's desk. In Illinois, J.B. Pritzker won the governor's office on a legalization platform, and his party controls the legislature. Tim Walz won on a pro-legalization platform in Minnesota, as did Michelle Lujan Grisham in New Mexico, but their legislatures may not provide them with bills to sign. Finally, legalization seems likely in New Jersey and New York as well. A bill is currently being readied in New Jersey, for example.
It may be a surprise to some to learn that Hawaii does not already have legalized adult use, but in 2019, the state, along with a few others, seems likely to legalize.
What do you think? Will Hawaii legalize adult use in 2019? Leave a comment below.


Hooray! I am back on the Cutting Cafe design team and today is my first post!!! I so missed being part of this team. My mandatory break is over and I am itching to get creating.
Our first assignment was to work with any file of our choice. It was fun to go through the website and pick out what we wanted to play with. I chose to use the Fun With Snowflakes set! I love snowflakes and fell in love with the die-cut background and just had to give it a try.
Here is a close-up shot of the background. I used my Silhouette to do the cutting and it cut like butter. The die-cut swirl is a die from My Favourite Things. It is available at Two Scrapbook Friends.
I also used one of the Mini Words sets from the Cutting Cafe to make my tag. I love these sets. They are the perfect way to add a little sentiment to a card!
The snowman image that I used was from Sassy Cheryl Designs. I love, love, love her digi's and use them whenever I have the chance. I entered this card in her 'snowman' challenge. You can check it out here.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you will take some time and visit the links throughout my post. Stop back again soon as I am busy working on other projects that I will be posting soon.
I am super excited to be back on the design team for The Cutting Cafe! I can't wait to start working with all the cool and fun files that they offer. Stay tuned for all my creations starting in January.
I have been busy working on another layout for the Two Scrapbook Friends Christmas Online Crop. This crop has been a great excuse for me to pull out my scrapbook supplies and it has also been a good distraction.
I did this layout for Christa's challenge. She wanted us to include a list. I have several lists on my page. It is the first of many layouts that I plan to make for the Rangers 50th season.
This is the opening night game against the Oshawa Generals at the newly renovated Kitchener Auditorium. I used my Silhouette to create the title on my page and created a shadow for the Rangers word to make it stand out.
I added 3 stars to my list to highlight the 3 stars of the game!
I recorded all the stats from the game in the squares without photos.
I also included the game ticket that has details as well. This album is going to be amazing when it is all done. I only wish my dad could have been here to see it when it is finished.
I'm back again with a card that I made for the Two Scrapbook Friends Christmas Online Crop! The challenges are awesome and I hope you are playing along too!
This image is from Whipper Snapper Designs. I coloured it with my Copics and then cut out the image with my scissors.
I embossed my background with a snowflake embossing folder and my Cuttlebug.
Once I had the image coloured, it was a quick and easy card to put together. Thanks for a great challenge Ann!
Happy Monday! Over on the Two Scrapbook Friends forum, we are hosting an Online Christmas Crop. It runs from November 30th until December 9th. There are really great challenges and some fun games too!
My challenge is called I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas! For this challenge you need to use snowflakes somewhere on your project. I created this 3D snowman using an SVG file from SVG Cuts.
I embossed the outer panels using a snowflake embossing folder and added a piece of flannel fabric with snowflakes for my scarf.
I hope you will visit the forum and play along with some of the awesome challenges. I finished my first one last night. I will post is later this week.
I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit. This week I will haul the Christmas tree up from the basement and start the decorating process. Usually Amanda is the one that helps me decorate the house but she has a place of her own now.
I have also been playing around with some new products we have at the store. I used a stamp and embossing folder set from Sizzix/Hero Arts to create this Christmas card. We used it in a demo/make 'n take. It was really popular and all the folders sold out.
I used white ink to stamp the snowflakes and then lined them up in the embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug. I added some iridescent bling to the center of some of the snowflakes and adhered some red/white bakers twine around the edge of the kraft cardstock.
The letters were cut out on my Silhouette. I love how thin they are and they cut beautifully. I made a strip and placed the letters and added a twine bow with a bling center.
Happy Monday everyone! I am happy to say that I am back to do another post (less than a week since my last one)! Hopefully I can keep this up and get back into a routine of posting and scrapbooking.
Today I am sharing a layout that I did using a sketch by Laura Whitaker. You can find the sketch I used here! These photos were taken a couple of summers ago at a cottage we rented. The boys had brought a slingshot with them and used a couple of pop cans as targets. This provided hours of fun.
I used my Silhouette to create the 'x' and the word 'fun'. I added some wooden letters from Pink Paislee for the rest of my title. I also created the large circle on my Silhouette and added some hand stitching with brown floss.
I used the Simple Stories Awesome collection and there were lots of little elements on the papers that I cut out and added pop dots and stitching to accent. I also added a row of brads too.
The stickers that went with this collection were perfect so I couldn't resist adding some of them.
I thank Laura for an awesome sketch to work with and I am happy to add another layout to the cottage album.
Today, I have something really special to share with you. Earlier this summer a dear friend of mine passed away. She was a truly amazing woman, wife and mom! I miss her terribly. Her husband had added me on Facebook (that is how he kept everyone up-to-date with her condition) and I noticed some photos from an outing they had recently taken. The photos really touched me. It was wonderful to see her children smiling and laughing, even though they had just lost their mother.
It bothered me that these photos would go 'unscrapbooked', so I decided I would do it, and one day, when the time is right, I will pass this layout on to her family to add to the scrapbooks that she had started.
Here are Spencer and Kourtney participating is their first Dirty Dash!
I used my Silhouette to create this title, which is perfect for this layout. I added some splats of brown mist, and even smudged a few to make it look realistic.
Joanne (my BFF) suggested that I add some chevrons as an accent and tie in the red in the title. I really like how they turned out and what the added to the layout.
I also added some paper splats to really bring in the mud theme.
I am very pleased with how this page turned out and can't wait to give it to them. I will continue to watch for more photos and make more layouts to pass on the the family.
I know it has been a while since I posted something on my blog. Things have been very busy for me with my dad in the hospital, the fall retreat at the store and everyday family life. This past weekend I had the opportunity to go away and scrapbook for the weekend. It was amazing. I managed to complete 4 double-page layouts, 1 single page layout and 8 cards (from a class).
Today I am going to share a layout I did using a photo I took at the 'home opening' Ranger game. I took the photo on my iPhone and used an app to change it black & white and add some affects to it. I developed it in a 5x7 and it turned out perfectly.
The 'hockey' letters are cut out of one of the papers I used and I popped them up using foam adhesive.
I kept the ticket stubs from the game and cut them apart to use as embellishments for my layout. This part shows the date and the fact that it was the home opener!
This part shows the time and the team we played against.
I used some new mistable stars from Studio Calico and sprayed them with black and silver Mr Huey mists. I popped some of them up with foam adhesive.
I had a great time at this game and will always remember it. I plan on documenting many more hockey memories from this years season.
I haven't had a lot of time lately for crafting, and that makes me a little sad. Back in September I joined in on a menu challenge that Christa was hosting on the Two Scrapbook Friends forum. I missed the deadline, but I did manage to finish my layout.
I used 3 different patterns - chevron, stripe and the strips.
The herringbone pattern is a strip of Washi tape.
The colours blue and yellow are shown in the stripe, in the stars, and in the journal spot. I also chose photos that had blue and yellow in them.
I did use a sketch to create this layout and I cut out 3 diamond shapes on my Silhouette and placed them near the title on page 1.
This was a really fun challenge. It was my first time playing along and I will definitely do it again. Thanks to Christa for making me coordinate products that I wouldn't necessarily put together.
TSF Autumn Colours Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Autumn Colours Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends! You should have arrived here from the Two Scrapbook Friends blog.
As soon as the Harvest Lane collection arrived at the store, I just knew I had to create something with it. I found these photos from a few years ago and they were perfect for what I had in mind.
I created my own title using my Silhouette! The 'Thankful' word is cut from paper and then shadowed with cardstock. I used the Silhouette pens to write 'so very' and then positioned it perfectly on my layout.
These awesome trees are also cut using my Silhouette. I added some stitching with coordinating floss to give them some dimension!
I added some copper brads along the striped strip and added stitching to some of my leaves. The leaves I didn't stitch on, I popped up using foam adhesive.
I used my Silhouette to add my journaling to my page too! The pens are so much fun to used and it sure beats my handwriting.

Maersk Warns of Africa Piracy Risk After Cargo Ship Attacked
An A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S shipping container sits aboard a ship in Felixstowe, U.K., in March 2019. (Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg News)

A containership owned by A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S was attacked off the West African coast, prompting the company to warn of a rising risk from piracy in the area.
The Maersk Cadiz was boarded by "criminals" on Dec. 19 at about 2:30 p.m. Nigeria time while traveling from Tema in Ghana to Kribi in Cameroon, Maersk said in a statement. Nigerian naval ships have arrived to help the vessel, which can transport the equivalent of as many as 4,500 20-foot containers.
All 21 crew have been confirmed as safe, and the vessel has been secured, a spokeswoman for Copenhagen-based Maersk said. The ship was carrying cargo when attacked.

The boarding of the Maersk Cadiz follows an attack on another Maersk containership near the West African nation of Guinea in February. That vessel, known at the time as the Maersk Tema, was owned and operated by two German companies.
The West African coast overtook Southeast Asia last year as the worst area for reported piracy and kidnappings at sea, with the number of seafarers seized rising by more than 50%, according to a study. Despite a global decline in piracy in 2019, attacks have continued in the Gulf of Guinea this year, especially off Nigeria's coast.
"We are very concerned about the increased security risk from armed attacks on merchant vessels in the area," Maersk Chief Technical Officer Palle Laursen said in a statement. "The risk has reached a level where local governments and the international community must take action to deal effectively with an unacceptable situation."
The Maersk Group ranks No. 4 on the Transport Topics Top 50 list of the largest global freight carriers.

Support Services have been available to adult Oregonians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) since 2001. At the start of the decade, five families with adult children with I/DD sued the state for timely services, resulting in the Staley Settlement. Soon thereafter, Support Services Brokerages began opening up throughout the state. This was a revolution in services in our state, radically altering opportunities and lifting the disability community to a new level.
If you're over 18, have been diagnosed with an intellectual and/or developmental disability, and you live independently or with your family in the community, you're most likely eligible for our services. Once enrolled in services, you can choose whichever brokerage(s) serve(s) your county. Here in the Portland metro area, you have up to six different choices including Independence Northwest. Once you choose your brokerage, you then have the option to choose your own Personal Agent. If you'd like to learn more about INW's Personal Agents, click here.
Your Personal Agent works with somewhere around 45 brokerage customers. If at any time, you're interested in working with someone else, just let us know and we'll help you find the right fit. Personal Agents are responsible for performing a needs assessment to determine what you need to live independently and what your resources will be. Once you know your benefit level, your PA will then help you find professionals to help you meet your goals. You can choose from Domestic Employees, Independent Contractors, or Provider Organizations. Domestic Employees and most Independent Contractors are Personal Support Workers whose rates are determined by agreement between the SEIU (union) and the state; Provider Organization rates are determined by the state. Each year, you will develop an Individual Support Plan (ISP.) Our job is to help you meet your goals – your plan says what YOU want it to say. Brokerage services in Oregon are amongst the most progressive in the United States.
If you have questions about who we are and what we do, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are honored to serve nearly 500 customers and their families throughout the tri-county region.

I find SEObook.com to be a really useful resource for SEO, especially their SEO Firefox Extension, which when activated gives you tons of useful information under your Google search results such as who is linking to your site. You can use this to find out who is linking to your competitors. If they are linking to your competitors, they may link to you as well.
I just received the local Indy Chamber of Commerce magazine where they are offering discounts to members for "ChamberBlog" using Compendeum Software's platform.
A bit of bold marketing claim in the copy: "We're the only blogging tool on the planet that magnifies content for maximum search engine exposure".
* my answer to the Question of the Week: What's in your basic SEO toolkit?
Website Grader is one of the best SEO tools.
I would add SEObook, which has a pretty useful Firefox plugin that provides SEO information in your Google results such as incoming links, monthly traffic, number of delicious bookmarks. This is a great tool for researching the competing sites and finding out who is linking to them.

Matt Craig and Shouvik Bhattacharya were at Feder Observatory tonight. Initial setup went fine, but we ran into an error connecting to the camera. Turns out the fix was easy: disconnect and reconnect the camera cable to the telescope.
Air temperature in the dome was about 13 degrees F, focus without a filter, is 2800.
Switched to R filter, adjusted focus to 2795, not perfect for faint stars but ok for brighter.
Switched to V filter, adjusted focus to 2785.
Called it a night around 10:15PM!
Try unplugging the cable connecting the camera to the computer and plugging it back in.
See if there is a yellow exclamation point next to the Alta camera driver. If so, uninstall the driver (not delete–to uninstall, click on the yellow flag and a pop-up appears. Uninstall driver is one of the options.) After uninstalling, the New Hardware Found Wizard shows up. Ask it to install driver from known location. The Wizard knows where the Alta camera driver is and will whirl around doing its thing.


Bishop Phil Whipple sent this note late Saturday night, December 29.
Rocky, according to Adam, sustained serious injuries to his face and skull.
Jane Baker had double bypass surgery on Thursday, December 27. Her husband, Ron, reported that she came through the surgery fine, but was in a lot of pain and would remain in the hospital for about ten days.
Dr. Ron and Jane Baker served multiple terms at Mattru Hospital in Sierra Leone from 1974-1988, with Ron serving as Chief Medical Officer. Ron has remained involved on a short-term basis since then. Ron was planning to lead a medical team to Sierra Leone in January, but obviously plans have changed.
Our Christmas program was held during the worship service on Sunday, December 9. We had a "super hero" Christmas. The children and one adult dressed up in super hero costumes. They gathered together to discuss the news that a new super hero was born that could save people. Being curious about this new super hero, they set off to find Him.
Meanwhile, the shepherds were watching their sheep in the fields and were vistited by an angel. The angel told them of the Savior's birth. Then they too set off to find him.
The super heros and the shepherds found Mary and Joseph and the Child at the same time. They then understood that this Super Hero came to save the world in a much different way. He was the Savior.
During the skit the audience sang along with Christmas carols. It was a very wonderful and touching program.
Following the program, beefburgers were served along with side dishes. Candy bars were handed out to everyone, which is a long standing traditon at McGuire Bend.
Hermmy (middle, holding the baby) with her family in Haiti.
Previous posts have told about Hermmy, a 12-year-old Haitian girl who was brought to Toronto by the Canadian UBs so she could have surgery to repair a hole in her heart. Beginning October 1, she lived with Joan Sider, a member of New Hope UB church in Toronto and a frequent visitor to Haiti. The operation was conducted on October 10, and was a big success.
Joan Sider and Hermmy returned to Haiti on December 4, and Hermmy was reunited with her family the next day.
We've been keeping you up-to-date on Dan Paternoster, a member of the Executive Leadership Team was was struck by a car in August 2012 while riding his bike. Amidst his recovery, it was discovered that he had bladder cancer. And then his wife, Nancy, was found to have breast cancer, and underwent surgery in December. The Paternosters are from the UB church in Fowlerville, Mich.
"Good news! My pathology report came back saying the tissue that was taken had "clear margins" (that's what surgeons like) and no other cancer was seen. We meet with doctors in January to see what further treatment is recommended at this point. Dan had his last chemo treatment for his bladder cancer before Christmas. His doctor will check mid-January and make sure all of his cancer is gone. We ask you to continue praying that both of us will be declared cancer-free in 2013.
Live nativity at Alvordton UB church.
This year we had an unreal turn-out for the "Live Nativity." We added an extra stable and donkey, and the church handed out around 173 treats. We estimate roughly 300 people drove through and walk through this year. It was truly amazing.
Also, our church family helped nine families in the community enjoy a little nicer Christmas than perhaps their circumstances would allow. The joy and excitement we saw on all these faces was wonderful.
At Salem, we decided to do something new before Christmas this year. We called it "Christmas on the Road." We reduced our normal Sunday morning schedule from three services to one service for everyone–it was crowded. We had a message on how we are God's current generation of missionaries to bring blessings into the world, and then we bundled up and went out.
We had twelve teams with from 8-19 people each go out from our church for about two hours–into neighborhoods, into nursing homes, out to where shut-ins live–to bless people near and far with what we hoped to be the aroma of Christ. We delivered 130 plates of cookies that had been handmade and decorated by our women's ministry, along with invitations to and information about our church family.
We then returned to the Salem Community Center to share in a banquet of hot Italian food (we are not Italian, but we like it anyway!). There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm by our Salem folks, and we heard testimonies of lives who were very deeply touched by our outreach. One lady said she had been living on her street for 22 years, and this was the first time anyone had come to her door to sing Christmas carols or give her anything!
Three regional meetings will be held in early 2013 in preparation for the 2013 US National Conference. These meetings are open to anyone. Ministers and lay delegates are especially encouraged to attend.
Each national conference includes a business meeting. However, we have been reserving major business for every other national conference. We had very brief business meetings in 2007 and 2011, and an extended business meeting in 2009. Now, we're set for another extended one.
Over 20 proposals for revising the UB Discipline will come before the delegates in June 2013. Most are minor changes, but some will no doubt generate a good deal of discussion. These regional meetings will acquaint people with the proposals and the rationale for them. Hopefully, this introduction will help cut down the amount of time taken in floor discussion at national conference.
Bishop Phil Whipple, Jeff Bleijerveld (Global Ministries Director), Dennis Miller (Cluster Coordinator), and Gary Gates (Director of Ministerial Licenses) plan to attend all of these events.
Each meeting will go from 9:30 am through lunch. The host churches will provide lunch.
Please let us know now many people from your church will attend, so we can give the host church a headcount for lunch. The "Register" button on the right will take you to a form you can use.
Huntington University is saying, "Merry Christmas," this year with its very only stop-motion animated tale. The 24-second video follows Huntington's mascot, Norm the Forester, as he decorates the tree for Christmas.
Animators Curtis Wood and Chris Veil (2010 HU alums) created the video with the help of the digital media arts faculty and other friends from the department.
The process started with an idea and a storyboard. From there, the pattern for the Norm puppet was sculpted and the armature (the bone structure) was assembled. Once the mold was baked, the paint and the final touches were added.
The animation for the tree was made through replacement animation, which is done by creating multiple stages of an object moving or transforming rather than manually moving or transforming the object, Wood explained.
With the pieces complete, the animation began. Tests were conducted with lighting and camera placement before the final animation was finished.
"We ended up shooting the entire thing in a day, about 12 hours straight, with a few breaks," Wood said.
You can read more about the video.
Global Ministries is offering two mission trips to Turkey in 2013. Both are in conjunction with IN Network, an organization with which we are partnering in Turkey.

A group of 10 people will conduct a Vacation Bible School at a church attended by children from all over Istanbul. They would also spend one day at the IN Network camp in Yalova, and another day doing sightseeing in Istanbul. This trip is in partnership with IN Network, an organization with which we are partnering to minister to Muslims in Turkey.
Dates: June 29 – July 8, 2013.
Cost: $550 per person, plus airfare.


There's a report from Hardware.Info that claims Intel is having issues with USB 3.0 implementation in upcoming products based on fourth-generation Intel Core "Haswell" processors. This report stems from a "reliable source" who got his hands on an internal document sent to one of Intel's partners detailing the Haswell-based issue.
According to the supposed document, when a Haswell-based system wakes from an S3 sleep mode, users will experience issues if a device is plugged into one of the USB 3.0 ports. These "issues" include blank pages displayed in Acrobat Reader PDFs, video that stops rather than resumes, and more. A quick fix is to restart the troubled application without having to reboot the entire system.
That said, the USB 3.0 problems are only described as a "nuisance" to consumers, and won't result in major data loss or the start of Armageddon. Intel even supposedly states that it won't have any impact on the release of Haswell-based CPUs, and will likely be resolved in future processor stepping. The letter also requests that manufacturers acknowledge the issues before Intel will supply the Haswell processors.
Naturally Intel won't comment on rumors about future products. "I can tell you that Intel remains on track for the first 4th generation Intel Core processors to come to market starting in mid-2013," a company spokesperson told Hardware.Info.
The Haswell processor family is part of Intel's "tick tock" design process where it launches a new processor design in one year, and then shrinks it to a smaller process size in the following year. Haswell offers design tweaks made to the Ivy Bridge architecture which is essentially a process-shrunk revision of Sandy Bridge. New features introduced in Haswell include HNI instruction set architecture extensions, a high-performance L4 cache layer, models with a 10W TDP and more.
The Lynx Point chipset designed to accompany the Haswell processors comes packed with integrated USB 3.0 support for six individual ports, six on-board SATA 3 (6 Gb/s) ports and more. Unnamed industry sources claimed last year that both a weakening desktop market demand and Intel's Haswell family will cause several second-tier motherboard manufacturers to exit the market in late 2013 due to the integrated functions. That's because features like USB 3.0 help motherboard makers differentiate themselves from rivals.

John Waters Lists His 10 Favourite Films of 2015
Now that December has hit, it's time for everyone to start rolling out an overwhelming amount of year-end lists. It gets a little exhausting after a while, to be sure, but not when the lists come from someone as open-minded, creative and downright wacky as John Waters.
Speaking with Art Forum, the legendary cult director shared his top ten flicks of the year. As could be expected, it's a wonderfully diverse list that smashes the highbrow/lowbrow divide and showcases a love of sex scenes.
Waters' top choice is Helmut Berger, Actor, Andreas Horvath's documentary about the former movie star. He calls it simultaneously the best and worst film of the year, praising it for its onscreen ejaculation scene. Similarly, he loved Gaspar Noé's Love for showcasing "heterosexual rimming" in 3-D at the Cannes Film Festival.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Waters also loved movies that carried some innocence. Todd Haynes' Carol, for example, he called "shockingly tasteful," while Cinderella was his second favourite flick of the whole year. "I fucking love this Disney film," he said.
There was also a healthy amount of Cancon on the list as Waters loved Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson's The Forbidden Room as well as Xavier Dolan's Tom at the Farm.
Check out Waters' full list of favourites below, and read his commentary on each film here.
1. Helmut Berger, Actor (dir. Andreas Horvath)
2. Cinderella (dir. Kenneth Branagh)
3. The Forbidden Room (dir. Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson)
4. Tom at the Farm (dir. Xavier Dolan)
5. Mad Max: Fury Road (dir. George Miller)
6. Carol (dir. Todd Haynes)
7. The Diary of a Teenage Girl (dir. Marielle Heller)
8. Tangerine (dir. Sean Baker)
9. Fly Colt Fly: Legend of the Barefoot Bandit (dir. Adam Gray and Andrew Gray)
10. Love (dir. Gaspar Noé)

As this Marine Corps Times story outlines, at least five celebrities are expected to attend Marine Corps birthday balls as the service celebrates its 236th birthday this week. The first of those balls was Saturday night. Actress Linda Hamilton, 55, best known for her role in the Terminator, attended a ball with Sgt. Ray Lewis, a combat correspondent. She asked to go after Lewis hilariously asked Golden Girl Betty White, 89, in a video posted to YouTube in July. As you can see in the following photo, Hamilton got out on the dance floor, too: Smooth moves, sergeant.

Israeli Army to Indict Five Soldiers Who Beat Detained Palestinians 'Out of Revenge'
Four combat soldiers were interrogated on suspicion they attacked Palestinian detainees, causing them severe injuries; one of the injured was pummeled so severely he couldn't provide his account of the incident immediately afterwards

Five Israeli soldiers arrested for allegedly beating detained Palestinians out of revenge
Four minors suspected in Jewish terror case released to house arrest; fifth still in custody
Palestinian is shot in the head by Israeli police on his way to school, and lives to tell the tale
The Israeli military's prosecution announced Sunday that it would file criminal charges against five soldiers who are suspected of beating two Palestinian detainees whom they had arrested.
The detainees, who were assaulted while handcuffed and blindfolded, suffered severe injuries.
One of the detainees was so badly pummeled that he could not be immediately questioned following the incident and required medical care.
The combat soldiers were arrested ten days ago and a probe was launched into the incident. The military court has ordered that they remain in detention. Following the filing of indictments, the prosecution is expected to ask that they be held until the end of legal proceedings.
The soldiers were interrogated on suspicion that they abused the Palestinian detainees. Possible charges include aggravated assault and some of the suspecs are thought to have attempted to obstruct interrogations.
An Israeli army first lieutenant who was the soldiers' commander has also been arrested and a court hearing on his possible involvement is expected to be held later Sunday.
The military police are investigating whether the soldiers were motivated by revenge following the shooting attack at Givat Assaf last month in which two soldiers from their battalion were killed.

In November, military prosecutors charged a soldier from the Home Front Command's rescue unit with assaulting a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian detainee. In September, a Palestinian died after allegedly being beaten by the Israeli military, according to testimony, although the army denied the claim.

Rick's Quotes
Rethink... For A Change
By The Power of Your Words
Published: Monday, 11 August 2014 11:04
Don't Be Your Own Worst Enemy
"Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant seeds of either success or failure in the mind of another." --Napoleon Hill
One of the most powerful and transformational forces in the universe is our words. They are the creative energy of the world, and by our words, we influence our world. For example, words like "You did a great job!" "I believe in you!" "It's going to be ok," "I am here to help," "It's a boy/girl," "This is treatable," or "I forgive you," can elevate people to incredible heights. They can help heal wounds and give hope. They can also produce an environment where creativity flourishes and people feel empowered to succeed. OR.....we can use words like "Can't you do anything right?" "You're such a loser!" "I would've done it myself if I knew you were going to mess it up!" "I'll never forgive you!" "Everyone knows you will never amount to anything!" "You are just like ___________," "I hate you!" Words like these can emotionally maim someone for life, wreak havoc on a marriage, children, co-worker or employee. We have all experienced the positive and negative effects of the words of others. I have seen the devastating result that words play in a person's life, whether by employer, spouse, parent, etc., in my practice. It always leaves scars.
Whatever arena we are in at any given time, whether work, home, church, school, we are setting the environment for success or failure for others and ourselves by the words we choose to use. Proverbs 18:21 states "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." The words we speak are a direct contributor to the amount of stress we feel in our lives, our relationships, and our situations. We say hurtful things to others, which sets up strife and tension. We lie to someone and then spend an enormous amount of energy trying to cover our tracks. We make promises that we don't intend to keep, but then get mad when someone calls us out on it. We cut people down to others and then wonder why others don't trust us. And sometimes we can come across as a bully, not realizing that we are becoming toxic.
Our words not only affect those we are around, but they can have a devastating effect on how we view ourselves. We have approximately 120 self-talk messages per minute that fly through our heads, and the majority of them are usually negative. We can be our own worst enemy, acting as a bully toward ourselves. For example, "I am so stupid!" "I'm not good enough," and "I am a failure." The list could go on and on. If you hear something long enough, you tend to believe it--this is called audio-suggestion.
So what do we do with our words? How do we start to influence those we are with and ourselves in a way that is going to help promote creativity, productivity, and health?
Stop making excuses for why you say hurtful things (that's just the way I am). Excuses are designed to give us permission to continue doing what we have always done;
Pause before speaking. Ask the following questions: Are the next words out of my mouth going to build up or tear down? Am I speaking the truth or lie? If truth, am I speaking it with the right attitude and motive, in kindness?
Is what I am about to say necessary? Unfortunately, a lot of what we say doesn't need to be said;
Refuse to use verbal digs/sarcasm to get your point across;
Be careful not to send mixed messages. One way to safeguard against this is to have the recipient of your words repeat back what they have heard you say;
Be tenaciously committed to the process of rehabilitating what comes out of your mouth toward yourself and others.
We can try to implement all levels of wonderful programs in our organization to pump up production and creativity, or try to do things at home (vacations, gifts, etc) to help create more harmony. That's all well and good, but if our words do not reflect our desired outcome, it's all in vain. Henri Nouwen gave sound advice when he wrote:
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face?
Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive?
These are the real questions.
I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow will bring many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
In short, it starts with you. Are you investing in yourself and others by treating yourself and those around you with respect and compassion? If not, it's a good place to start!
