These are currently my most wanted items from Internacionale.
I've tried the 'Wild' crop top on in store with my dipped hem black maxi dress, and I really want it to wear with that. I'm not one for flashing my stomach, but because I wear the skirt high waisted, they go great together. It reminds me very much of some crop tops I've seen in Topshop lately too (but much cheaper of course!)
The scarf print blouse is something I know I'll get a tonne of wear out of. I love the style and the colours.
I already have the stripe blazer in plain grey, but I've wanted a striped one for so long now! These blazers are really quite thin, jersey material, making them great for warmer weather. I've been wearing my grey one loads over the past couple of weeks, and it's so comfy. I'll probably end up buying the plain black one too.
I had my eye on the hanky hem top when I initially saw it in a peachy/orange colour, but I like this colour even better. With a bit of a tan, I think it will look great with some denim shorts for the Summer.
I've been searching for some turquoise wedges for so long! I've got a black dress that I've been waiting to wear, and a turquoise bag, so all I needed was the shoes. I much prefer wedges to high heels, and I think the open toe makes them that much more perfect... these babies will be mine on payday!
Last up, this ear cuff would be something I'd love to wear for a night out. I don't have my ears pierced, so if my hair is up, or to one side, I usually feel quite bare. This is ideal!
Have you had a look on the Internacionale website recently? There are some lovely things!
They launched a huge sale in store today too.

I want my work to reflect a moment in time, to tell a story, to give pause for contemplation and, yes, even a smile of recognition.

How To Improve Your Graphics Skills (Part 1)
Now that you're running your own WordPress website, you will need to know how to prepare images to place on it.
What You Will Learn
- When to use JPGs, GIFs and PNGs
- How to install GIMP – the free Photoshop-like graphics program
- How to resize an image using GIMP
- How to crop an image using GIMP
- How to create thumbnails
- How to use Amazon S3 to host your images
- How to use the HTML editor to precisely place images
Why You Need to Learn It
Knowing how to prepare your own graphics will save you time. Everyone talks about outsourcing, but it doesn't make sense to outsource simple things when you need them now and it would take more time to describe what you want to someone else, than do it yourself. Also, the graphics person you need may not be available at the precise moment you need him or her.
If You Don't Learn This
You will slow your progress online, and always be dependent on others for even the simplest graphics tasks, and when you do outsource you won't be able to give the best quality instructions to ensure the best quakity results. Your WordPress Blog or website will look less professional as your images may not be well placed, and your site may load too slowly if your image are not correctly resized and re-weighted.

It's another Premier tip from the Premier League from our tipster Odds Detective. It's waiting right HERE Sunderland v Manchester United:
"Hi football fans! We expect United to beat Sunderland on Saturday's opening game of the 26th matchweek. United is in form. They are doing great lately. Van Gaal finally understood, that he needs to let it's center midfielders to attack the goal directly. Since van Gaal changed his mind, United beat Stoke 3-0, with a really nice play and drew at Stamford Bridge. Sunderland played catastrophically against Liverpool. They had nothing to deal with the attacking play and posession-oriented play Klopp's team came with. Liverpool dominated all the match, they had 72% posession and 2-0. After the fans started to protest and go home in 77th minute they conceded twice, but that match was nothing close to equal one. We expect absolutely the same against United, which is better on the road than home. We expect a nice straightforward win from United. ShowTime, OddsDetective"

Still, with the constant evolution of technology and Google's intent to phase-out sites that are not entirely mobile friendly, they knew they needed more than what they had.
The Strategy
Going in, we had two overall goals. The first was to completely redesign their website in a fresh, modern, minimalist way that would work to set off their beautiful photography, not overshadow it. The second goal was to work their SEO rankings and grow their local traffic – essentially, getting their work in front of people looking for their services. To meet these goals, we forged ahead utilizing the following strategies:
- Digital Strategy Consulting
- Search Engine Optimization
- Website Redesign & Consulting
- Custom Coding & Integrations
The Results
We're thrilled with the results that we have achieved for Red Apple Tree Photography. They love their new website design and as for the SEO results, well we let those metrics speak for themselves:

- 265 increase in ranking positions in local Google search results
- 6.89% decrease in website bounce rate simultaneously with increased website traffic
- 17.04% increase in pageviews per session
These results were achieved between May 1, 2017 & July 31, 2017
The Testimony
"Kelly and her team have been a dream to work with! So thoughtful, kind and patient with our whole new website re-build process. She never assumes, ensuring careful explanation and providing insightful detail on every level. Her videos have been so easy to review and learn from as well. Worth all the investment and more. A total game changer for our online business presence. We highly, highly recommend!"

I am interested in progressive politics, citizen participation, real democracy and a full range of public policy issues from an Albertan and Canadian perspective.
Monday, July 19, 2010
Congratulations James Rajotte MP On Your Stand for the Long-form Census
Isn't good public policy supposed to emerge from a robust and informed public discussion of the issues by Canadians? Are we not supposed to be able to assume we can then depend on a public policy decision to be taken that is based on evidence and the applied practical wisdom from those to whom we grant our consent to govern us. Anyone in Canada seen that happen much lately, especially since Harper has been in power?
The scary top down command and control unilateral politically motivated decision making by Prime Minister Harper is wrong, reckless and abusive - especially to his Cabinet and Caucus. It is no good governance and no way to run a country, especially one like Canada. There are stronger words that get used in private by many Canadians when reflecting on the political style of Mr. Harper, including fascist. I think that is a little strong but one starts to wonder the more we see how he actually operates and behaves with the levers of power.
Harper's position on the census means we institutionalize ignorance about much of what we need to know about who we are as a people in this country. Such institutionalized ignorance and refusal to allow Canadians to become informed leaves Harper the political room to ignore facts and impose even more of his own beliefs on the country. He could then be more reckless and abusive with his political power, and do so with even great impunity from his duty to serve the greater public interest instead of his own personal political aspirations.
We need an election in this country sooner than later. We need to make some real changes as citizens and voters in how we want our democracy to work in our interests and not just for the interests that serve the Prime Minister's agenda.

The census as it stands is a violation of privacy. Shame on Rajotte for breaking with his party. I live in Leduc and will definitely not be voting for him in the next election.ReplyDelete
Time for a true conservative who stays true to his principles. Clearly, this is not Rajotte.
Now how long will it take before ol' sweater vest Steve decides to can him? Or send him to obscurity? You know: the way of Linda Keen and Richard Colvin?ReplyDelete
Good on James Rajotte to come and speak out against his boss though.
Indeed, a Conservative that might be a holdover from the PC days. Most things Rajotte does seem honest and motivated by integrity.ReplyDelete
Let's say it when it needs to be said: James Rajotte is a quality MP.
- Graham Fletcher9:51 am
Ken: Not everything PM Harper (the most respected leader in the country) does is a right wing conspiracy to control and enslave. In fact the opposite is true. A reduced census reflects what many of us feel and delineates the difference between progressive / liberal tendencies vs. conservatives. and what even more of us ought to think before handing out even more details of our personal life:ReplyDelete
"None of your effin' business!!!".
- Anonymous4:41 pm
Anyone notice how quite big business is on the census issue? Perhaps because they can pay for incredibly detailed data, whereas small business and local government rely on accurate census data. I don't understand how the libertarians can freak out about Big Government requiring a bit of info so that our civil service can do their job and ensure vulnerable populations get quality social services; and at the same time be oblivious to the fact that corporations build detailed profiles so they can sell ever more to us. For some reason were supposed to be afraid of the Evil State who is going to do some nefarious thing with our data but really in our context hasn't (due to proper checks and balances ie, FOIP, democratic elections. These same libertarians cheerlead the Corporation that harvest our data and monitor our social status, friends, purchasing power, credit history, even attitude.ReplyDelete
This policy is created to throw red meat to the conservative base (ie. hardcore libertarians) in the run up to an election where they need dedicated ground troops to do unpaid election work. The Conservatives are counting on the public reaction from institutions perceived to be left, to further motivate the base. The fact that it hamstrings a bureaucracy that controls how data is analyzed and interpreted is gravy. Suggested reading includes: The Prince - Nicolai Machiavelli, Right Side Up - Paul Wells, and this news story from Canadian Business for starters http://www.canadianbusiness.com/markets/headline_news/article.jsp?content=b3989479
We don't live in the woods in the 19th century. It is the "effin' business of planners to ensure responsible development.ReplyDelete
Enough libertarian crap from people who drive on public roads... send their kids to public school and expect the health care system to be there when they get sick or have accidents.
Sometimes the census isn't about government snooping; sometimes it's about planning. Granted, some of the questions are weird, but that's tweaking and pitching out the baby in the bath water stuff.
If you really want to live a libertarian life... sell it all... and move into the bush where no one can find you... and you won't have to worry about the long (or short) census.
... but don't come looking for a doctor and a nurse or someone to plow out your country road to get your kids to school.
As for Stephen Harper being the most respected leader in the country... YIKES!

Not everything PM Harper (the most respected leader in the country)ReplyDelete
Ha Ha, you just have to be kidding right? If what I see is respect, you guys don't know your backside from your face. I needed this laugh his morning. It shows me how brain washed and brow beaten you people really are and how uncanadain this dictator has made his supporters.

great story. Here's a quote "This is a profoundly ideologically and philosophically motivated skirmish initiated by people who are highly attuned to the importance of the battle of ideas and the politics of knowledge. If you don't understand this, you'll likely continue to believe that the government's decision to fight so hard to push this through is crazy. When in reality, they're actually being crazy like a fox."

The next Karthi starrer, Biriyani is ready to be cooked. The film's unit did a test shoot with Shakti Saravanan, one of Venkat Prabhu's favourite cameramen and the results look good, according to him.
The film's director was on the lookout for a heroine to replace Richa who walked out of the film, when she heard that Hansika is doing the main lead opposite Karthi.
Remember that even Hansika was roped in after a long wait, as Venkat wanted a Tamil speaking heroine and was keen on Nayanthara or a leading Bollywood heroine.
But looks like now, all the waiting is over for Karthi, as a sizzling UK beauty, Mandy Takhar has been roped in for the role. The UK born actor has done a few Punjabi films and was noted for her hot bikini act in the Hindi flick Bamboo in which she did a hot number called Pinky Punjabi.
With so much oomph to her credit, it looks like the song to be picturised on her and Karthi will set the temperatures soaring!

– Patchwork Girl (1995), Shelley Jackson –
What if Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was true? What if Mary Shelley herself made the monster — not the fictional Dr. Frankenstein? And what if the monster was a woman, and fell in love with Mary Shelley, and travelled to America? This is their story.
Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl was created in Storyspace, is distributed by Eastgate Systems, Inc., and ranks among the most widely read, discussed, and taught works of early hyperfiction. Patchwork Girl is rooted in an allusion to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus — as is echoed in both the title and the author's own name — and can be read as a feminist response to Shelley's 1818 gothic masterpiece.
in Electronic Literature Directory
Jackson's work is available for reading and further study at the Electronic Literature Lab, directed by Dr. Dene Grigar. The catalog of all works and computer systems found at ELL is located at http://dtc-wsuv.org/ell-catalog.
You can read Pathfinders at http://scalar.usc.edu/works/pathfinders.

WC Rodeo Athletes staying Busy during the Break
- Details
- Published: Friday, 08 December 2017 14:23
The college rodeo season may be on a winter break, but that doesn't mean participants aren't staying busy.
Like so many others, members of the Weatherford College rodeo team are busy competing and honing their skills – and picking up some awards – during this time before college competition resumes Feb. 11 in San Antonio with the College Rodeo Showdown followed by the Odessa College Rodeo Feb. 22-24.
At the midpoint of the season, both the Weatherford College men and women are third in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association's Southwest Region. They are hoping to send a complete men's team and women's team to the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming, in June.
Also, Lane Cooper is tied for third nationally among team roping headers and Kirby Blankenship is tied for third in team roping heelers.
They each lead the Southwest Region, two of 11 top-10 spots held by Weatherford College competitors at the midpoint.
The top two teams and top three individuals in each event advance to the CNFR.
In the meantime, though, team members are staying busy, something coach Johnny Emmons likes to see.
"If you're not working hard, I guarantee you someone else is," Emmons said. "Plus, I think staying active helps avoid injuries and keeps them ready for when the rodeo season cracks back up.
"It is important to stay busy to keep that edge. It is hard this time of year, since there are not as many events to go to, but before you know it, the rodeo season will be back in full action in February. But on the other hand, it is a good time of year for their horses to rest and freshen up."
Among the highlights from the break, Emmons said, Cooper Hatley had a very successful U.S. Team Roping Finals in Oklahoma. He is also competing in Las Vegas at the World Series Team Roping Finals.
Leighton Berry won the United Pro Rodeo Association Finals and year-end championship in bareback riding.
There is, however, a fine line between competing and staying healthy.
"I think it's just a matter of staying in shape," Emmons said. "A lot of our guys and girls go to the gym regularly and still compete on a weekly basis.
"You can't really rodeo and be competitive by worrying about injury. You just have to keep going. I think by staying fairly active, most avoid injury."
Emmons does recommend some down time for competitors and their animals.
"This time of year is a good time to heal, horses freshen up and so forth," he said. "When I was competing professionally, I would take a couple weeks off during the mid to end of December. A little rest is not going to hurt anyone."
If participants are going to be active, Emmons does recommend competition over practice.
"Practice is always good, but nothing can replace competition as far as staying sharp and keeping that edge," he said.
There are no requirements to compete during the break, Emmons said. In fact, not all team members do.
"You have the really competitive students who are aspiring to turn pro soon after college. They stay very active and compete multiple times a month," he said. "We have some who are truly here for school and compete on the side. Maybe they do not feel they will turn pro, and are working towards a career path. Rodeo is just an avenue that may have got them into college and/or is paying for their education."
As for the second half of the season, Emmons is as excited as he's ever been for it to get started as WC is seeking to have competitors in the CNFR for a 14th straight year.
"I am pleased with the overall effort our team gave this fall," Emmons said. "It is hard to have good teams on both sides (men and women). If you look at the regional standings, only TSU (Tarleton State University) and WC have both teams ranked in the top five, so that is something I am proud of."

Board Chair
Antidote Collective / BEAHIVE
Equal parts strategist, publicist, marketer, social entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and writer, Scott has 20+ years of experience and a broad perspective promoting ideas, products and services in various culture-shaping (and sometimes suffocating) worlds — advertising, media, interactive design, photography, technology, television and fashion.
Some years ago, catalyzed by 9/11 and an ongoing process of spiritual and social awakening, he broke the trance of an increasingly cynical consumer culture and started applying his corporate-honed skills to social impact. He has an insatiable interest in transforming failed systems, in big ideas and the behaviors that drive people, what resonates with them, and how to engage them.
In his new incarnation, he has done media for the Dalai Lama and publicity for Phil Donahue's anti-war film Body of War, PR for healthcare "whistleblower" Wendell Potter and groups like Rainforest Action Network and the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), branding for Rippel Foundation, strategic communications for the Local Economies Project of the New World Foundation, and creative naming development for American Express and global visual rebranding support for Coca-Cola with Ogilvy & Mather's famed design and innovation division Brand Integration Group (BIG). He founded communications consultancy Antidote Collective in 2004.
In 2002 Scott spent a week in India with leading environmental and anti-globalization activist (and bona fide heroine) Vandana Shiva, fellow activist and editor Satish Kumar, Ela Gandhi (yes, that Gandhi — his granddaughter), and about a dozen others on a small research farm discussing Gandhi's approach to nonviolence and personal and community self-sufficiency. It was a profound introduction to what we now call Localism.
In 2009 Scott opened a new kind of collaborative space for work and community in Beacon — the first and only of its kind in the Hudson Valley — followed by Kingston and Albany. BEAHIVE is closely aligned with Re>Think Local.
Scott is on the board of BeaconArts and the advisory council of Sustainable Hudson Valley. He's also on the steering committee of Progressive PR Professionals – PR/PR/PR (a network of 1000-plus communicators). He moved to Beacon from Brooklyn in 2006.

How can I reduce my post-exercise pain and fatigue?
I exercise very moderately or lightly now as I can't figure out (despite being at one time a very active tennis player and walker) how the amount of exercise has a terrible consequence. The amount of pain at night I have is usually dependent on the amount of exercise and consequently the amount of sleep. I am hypothryoid and take T4 and also take trazadone 150 mgs to sleep, as I have had chronic sleep problems for 15 years and probably fibromyalgia though I know many doctors including my endocrinologist feel it is connected with the hypothyroidism. I barely have any thyroid tissue is what I know. Is there any way to keep exercising while avoiding these effects? My regular doctor does not understand how I don't feel better with exercise but worse. I do it but it is not fun knowing there is a definite cause and effect! Tried mag. tart cherry, calcium, but to no avail.
The combination of fatigue, insomnia, and post-exertional malaise is suggestive of a problem with energy production, as can be seen in conditions such as CFS. I would do the Energy Analysis program at www.endfatigue.com and read my book From Fatigued to Fantastic to give you a better idea of what is contributing to your issues and how to improve. I have seen D-Ribose have a great effect on my patients with post-exertional fatigue and muscle pain.
In addition, I do both phone and in-person consultations (contact Denise at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information or to schedule).
Overall, using a lower dose of trazodone and adding a low dose of other options to get sleep, while optimizing thyroid dosing based on symptoms instead of just the lab tests, may be a good start, and working with a Holistic Physician is a good idea (see http://www.ABIHM.org).

Great Recession led to rise in obesity, diabetes: study
The Great Recession of 2008 that severely affected the world economy also resulted in changes to people's health behaviour, with a significant increase in the risk of obesity, diabetes and mental health problems, a new study has found.
In particular, researchers from City, University of London and King's College London in the UK discovered that the probability of being obese and severely obese increased by 4.1 and 2.4 percentage points respectively.
Similarly, the probability of having diabetes was 1.5 percentage points higher after 2008, with the prevalence of mental health problems increasing by 4 percentage points.
They also found that there was a decrease in smoking and drinking, as well as fruit intake.
These changes were also seen to impact particularly on women and those less educated, with the authors suggesting that uncertainty and negative expectations generated by the recession rather than unemployment might explain the changes seen.
Researchers looked at data from the Health Survey for England (HSE), a survey taken yearly from about 9,000 English households.
They specifically used data on respondents above 16 years of age for the period 2001-2013. In addition to socio-economic characteristics, the HSE includes information on a wide range of health lifestyles and health conditions.
The results of the study suggest that the start of the recession was associated with worse dietary habits and increased BMI and obesity. It was also associated with a shift away from risky behaviours, as a decrease in smoking and alcohol consumption was seen.
There was also an increase in the use of medicines and a higher likelihood of suffering diabetes and mental health problems, all of which were generally experienced more acutely by those with less education and by women.
"Our study confirms the close relationship between health and the economic environment as we found that the 2008 Great Recession led to a decrease in risky behaviour, such as smoking and drinking, but also an increase in the likelihood of obesity, diabetes and mental health problems," said Mireia Jofre-Bonet from City University of London in the UK.
"The fact that those less educated were more vulnerable to the health effects of the recession highlights the need for an urgent policy response as it is clear that this population need to receive information on health behaviours and risk factors to avoid the negative consequences and also the potential future impacts," she said.

These programs vary in length from 1-3 hours. The newest program in our specialty clinic series is Seated Self Defence. Contact us to arrange a clinic for your group.
Seated Self Defence
From movie theatres to park benches to the closed in space of a parked car - sometimes trouble finds us when we don't feel very mobile and it's hard to employ traditional strategies to get out and get safe. That's where this short clinic comes in. The seated self defence clinic is a 1-hour workshop that introduces some very simple options for defending yourself from a seated position. We explore ways to disengage from a bad situation and create safe space. In addition to connecting with our voice and our intuition, we'll go over some physical self defence techniques that work in small spaces with limited mobility. Simple and effective, nothing fancy. This program is for all fitness levels and can be offered as a private group workshop as well as on our regular schedule. This is typically offered for ages 16+, or with permission of the instructor. For more information, please contact us.

Fred was married in 1973 to his wife, Lynn, and is the committed caretaker of a cat named "Rotunda, who has eating issues and is in denial," he says. Fred Buschhoff has years of teaching experience to back up his extensive education. He holds a B.A. in Psychology and a M.A. in Special Education from the University of Oregon, and a D.Ed. in Special Education Administration from the University of Northern Colorado.
About his involvement with parent education and families, Dr. Buschhoff says: "Part of my responsibilities, one that I truly enjoyed, involved teaching parenting classes to PTA groups. I worked for 15 years with parent groups in the areas of discipline and positive self-concept." After retiring from a long and successful career with Denver Public Schools, Fred "knew he wanted to stay involved with parents and their efforts in raising healthy children." After reading an article about Families First in the Denver Post, Buschhoff took the initiative and sent them a copy of The Constructive Parent (his then recently-published book on parenting).
It was a match made in (parent-education) heaven. Families First and Dr. Buschhoff shared common values and a common goal: to "build positive relationships" between parents and children through providing tools for successful parenting. Eleven years later, he remains a valued member of the Families First team.
Norma has a B.A. from Tabor College, KS. Her teaching experience started in the inner cities of Wichita, KS and Omaha, NE., and then moved to Denver where she taught at both the elementary and high school levels. With Norma's contractual teaching business, Life Skills Resources, she moved into adult education: Community College of Denver, a family homeless shelter and finally family resource centers. Her association with Families First as a parent educator began in 1993 while teaching at Crawford Family Resource Center. She developed and currently facilitates the Families First "Parenting with Confidence" parent education course.
Norma's advice to today's parent is that parenting is an awesome privilege. Build a strong relationship with your child through listening, affirming, celebrating, setting limits, consistency, and lots of laughter. Norma says, "Inspiring individuals to move beyond their present situation is one of my proven skills." Norma's hobby is having stimulating conversations at Starbucks.
Dalpiaz, a family therapist, has a rich background in cognitive and behavioral therapy from which she draws and she has a strong commitment to a positive future. Her grandson who is a junior volunteer at Families First is a "blessing" and a source of "hope" for her.
After her active duty tour, Dalpiaz participated in the home-based visitation pilot project for Head Start. It was during this time that she made an important discovery: that "parents, when given the opportunity, wanted to be the best that they could be." She made the decision then professed, "It's far better to help parents help their children than for me to help their children." Given her new goal of helping parents help themselves, it was only a matter of time before she found a place to explore and achieve her goal: Families First.
Dalpiaz says of Families First: "What I love most about Families First is the flexibility and support of everyone working toward a common goal. She applauds the children's group as they are profoundly shaping the minds of our youth.
With a BA in psychology from CU-Denver, a MS in general psychology from Walden University and a certification in addiction counseling (CACIII), Dalpiaz matches a solid education with a common-sense approach to parenting challenges. She has written three books on parenting and families: Breaking Free, Starting Over: Parenting in the Aftermath of Family Violence, Parent In' Style (formerly titled Here's Your Chance) and Sparrows in a Hurricane: One Family's Courage to Weather the Storm of Addiction and Mental Illness (all available online bookstores or www.chanceinc.org). She currently has a blog (www.chanceinc.blogspot.com) where she writes about using her healthy habits, happy homes approach. She is currently completing a relationship book entitled, How to Depolarize Your Jerk Magnet coming soon!
As a parent educator, Dalpiaz says she is most inspired by "the parents who take [her] class." She recognizes that their contribution to the class provides life lessons to other parents as well as her. In her words: "They often give ideas and techniques to me. They remind me to hold regard for children as well."
Her personal philosophy echoes her commitment to hope for the future. She quotes Ben Franklin: "When you are finished changing, you are finished."
She offers the following advice to today's parents: "Stop wondering if you are a good or bad parent and start asking yourself if you are effective—meaning does what you do feel good to you; does it feel good to your children; and is it working? Keep your power and the techniques that work and change the rest. Never give up on your children and always remember to take time for yourself." Les Brown once said, 'Children rarely listen to adults but they never fail to imitate them.' Dalpiaz adds, "Teach your children how to love and care for themselves by you role modeling self love."
Aside from her work with Families First, Dalpiaz is an international speaker who trains professionals as well as parents on the impact family violence has on children who witness it and she works with her own non-profit, CHANCE (Changing How Adults Nurture Children's Egos, www.chanceinc.org).
She realized she could run a multi-million dollar company day in and day out, but couldn't figure out how to be the best parent to her two new "gifts"; so she went looking for information. She came across Love and Logic®, attended seminars, read their books and listened to their CD's. She discovered the Love and Logic® approach resonated with her from day one.
In 2006, she joined the Families First family as a parent facilitator for a weekly Circle of Parents® group called "Parents of Pre-Schoolers". In early 2009, she became certified to teach the Love and Logic® curriculum and has hosted classes in the Denver metro area. Realizing there is a tremendous need for getting information into parent's hands, Amy became a Parent Educator with Rocky Mountain Parents as Teachers; a home based program for families with children ages birth to five years old. Keeping with that philosophy, in 2013 Amy joined Jefferson Center for Mental Health in their intensive home based therapy and parent education program.
Amy is passionate about getting parenting tips and tools into the hands of parents across the Denver metro area. When parents come back and say "I had a great week with my son/daughter", that is what it is all about.

Queen, Mother, Wise Woman and Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Feminine
This article complements the concepts explored in my article "Archetypes of the Mature Masculine" and applies them to the other half of humanity—women. In doing so I apply the same principles, not in a mechanistic way, but in the spirit of Jung's archetypes and their rationale. Lets start with a few words of C. G. Jung himself where he talks about the Anima.
Thomas Moore and Douglas Gillette adopted and extended Jung's approach in their exploration of the masculine psyche by using the collective archetypes of the King, the Warrior, the Magician, and the Lover. Obviously those four male archetypes can be translated and mapped in female clusters of virtues, specific attributes associated with four major female archetypes: the Queen, the Mother, the Wise Woman and the (female) Lover found in history and myths. This has been done before. Continue reading
