@luvs2sing99, I'm a cheerleader with super fine and it absolutely won't curl, so I use curl forms. You can find them at basically any hair/beauty store, they come in different colors. It includes a crochet thing that you use to pull your hair through the forms and you sleep in them, and when you get up you just pull the edge of them and your hair is perfectly curly, works every time

Brook Lopez's post presence
Bledsoe picking pockets, while Holiday is finding teammates more
Editor's note: This is Insider's weekly series that identifies and analyzes tendencies or trends exhibited by five players.
The thing about identifying trends among NBA players is discerning whether a trend is simply a recent pattern of performance or an actual indication of a shift in skill set. Has the player actually added a particular skill to his repertoire? Is he showing signs of decline?
In a sports industry where athletes get labeled quickly and are often grossly generalized, players must work hard to shed those labels. The Brooklyn Nets' starting center, Brook Lopez, is one such example.
He came into this season with the reputation of being a scoring center, but he couldn't -- or wouldn't -- rebound worth a damn. This season, Lopez has done his best to erase that reputation, as are two other young players. However, two veterans on our list this week seem to be regressing. Again, is the trend happenstance or harbinger?
Brook Lopez | C | Brooklyn Nets
Trend: Improving as a rebounder and shot-blocker

Britney Spears Engagment Ring Pictures
See the First Photos of Britney Spears's Engagement Ring!
Britney Spears stepped out of a Las Vegas hotel tonight wearing her beautiful Neil Lane engagement ring. The newly engaged star and her fiancé, Jason Trawick, are in Sin City to celebrate his 40th birthday. Britney and Jason arrived on a private jet earlier in the evening, though she managed to keep her custom-designed sparkler concealed under a pair of gloves.
Upon their arrival, Britney and Jason slipped out of their travel gear and a few hours later were spotted modeling festive attire and bright smiles. Britney and Jason dined at the Sugar Factory American Brasserie then made their way to Planet Hollywood's roof top club where Britney showed off her ring and Jason cut into a birthday cake. Her rep confirmed the engagement reports, and Britney updated her Facebook relationship status to "engaged."

Honda Accord H22a swap Vs. BMW 745 Honda Accord H22a swap Vs. BMW 745
Honda Accord VTEC Solenoid Gaskets Replacement In this video I show you how to replace both VTEC solenoid valve gaskets (valve to cylinder head and solenoid to valve) on 1994-1997 Accords. This is a common cause of oil leaks on the upper passenger side of the engine next to the distributor shaft seal, distributor o ring, and valve cover gasket. It seems the same engineers who buried the Accords fuel filter also decided to make the VTEC solenoid valve difficult to remove as well. One of the bolts for the valve is buried so deep you have to partially drain the cooling system and use a u-joint to get it out. I take your through the process step by step from removal of all the parts to re installation. This video ran a bit longer than I wanted it to but considering how deceptively easy this job looks at first glance (until you can't get that one remaining hidden bolt on the valve off to remove it) I decided to leave in as much detail as possible. You will need to add new coolant and bleed the cooling system to avoid engine damage after you're done. If you need that info here is the link to my cooling system bleeding video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owQcxSrKARA Honda part numbers used in the video: Solenoid to valve gasket: 36172-P0A-005 VTEC valve to cylinder head gasket: 15825-P0A-015 VTEC oil pressure switch o-ring: 91319-PR3-003 Thermostat housing to intake gasket: 91312-P0A-000 Thermostat housing to connecting pipe o-ring: 91314-PH7-003 These part numbers should work on all 1994-1997 Accords with VTEC but as always check with your dealer to confirm these part numbers will work with your vehicle.

I did the best I could with the tools, software and my current knowledge. I still think this is a terrible video but I've been trying so hard to capture the right balance of engine and Exhaust note in one clip that I'm thinking I require more mics in order to capture the sound one is able to hear in person within the cabin of the vehicle.

At the PestWorld 2013 Final Night Banquet, about 700 guests dined and danced with old friends and new ones and NPMA raised more than $18,000 at the Live Auction.
PHOENIX, Ariz. — At the PestWorld 2013 Final Night Banquet, about 700 guests dined on Caesar salad, steak and dessert, danced with old friends and new to music of the 80s to today, and bid on Live Auction items to raise more than $18,000. After thanking NPMA, Dan Carrothers of BASF, who sponsored the event, said, "I have been a big supporter of NPMA for many, many years. They are the rising tide that lifts all our boats." About BASF, he said, the most important thing we can do is keep being innovative. That's our job at BASF – to keep bringing innovation to you that makes you successful." Included in the rousing Live Auction that followed the dinner were an NPMA PestWorld 2014 Package for Two donated by NPMA; Indianapolis 500 Race Package donated by Dow AgroSciences; The Big Apple Experience donated by Assured Environments, The Bug Doctor and the New York Pest Management Association; A Taste of Napa Valley donated by Clark Pest Control; and The Georgia Gold Experience donated by Allgood Pest Solutions, BB&T Insurance Services, Cook's Pest Control, Residex, Rollins Inc., Syngenta, Arrow Exterminators and TAP Insulation.
Critter Control is 100% franchised with 114 franchises operating in 40 states and two Canadian provinces. It is the largest wildlife control company in the United States.
Rentokil North America has acquired Orchard Park, N.Y.-based Buffalo Exterminating, a leading pest control company in Western New York. The deal closed on Jan. 6, and terms were not disclosed.
The company said its fourth-quarter earnings rose 17%. Ecolab CEO Doug Baker said the company's U.S. pest business "has been steadily improving" due to a number of investments in that business starting two years ago.
Black rats may not have been to blame for numerous outbreaks of the bubonic plague across Europe, a new study suggests.
Angie's List recently announced the following companies as 2014 Super Service Award winners: Arizona Pest Control, Tucson, Ariz.; Braman Termite and Pest Elimination, Agawam, Mass.; Inspect-All, Conyers, Ga.; and Gannon Pest Control, Solvay, N.Y.

Syncora objects to confirmation of ResCap reorganization plan
Residential Capital LLC, the bankrupt mortgage-servicing unit of Detroit-based Ally Financial Inc., received about 15 objections this week to the Chapter 11 reorganization plan set for approval at a Nov. 19 confirmation hearing.
Most ResCap creditors support the plan, which is financed in part by a $2.1 billion settlement contribution from Ally. An ad hoc group holding $714 million in 9.625 percent junior notes opposes the plan, saying its members are entitled to payment in full with interest.
The bankruptcy judge, who has already ruled partly against the ad hoc group, is now deciding the extent of the bondholders' liens, which in turn will determine whether they are entitled to full payment.
Some other objections are technical and may be resolved by fine-tuning language in the confirmation order approving the plan. Others go to the heart of the plan proposed by New York- based ResCap.
Bond insurer Syncora Guarantee Inc. faulted the plan for its disparate treatment of bond trusts, some of which will get a larger distribution at the expense of others. Syncora also opposed provisions giving the bond trustees immunity from being sued, even if they allegedly violated or exceeded their powers by agreeing to cut back the amounts of their claims.
Syncora said the plan is fatally defective because it dispenses so-called third-party releases to the bond trustees and others. The U.S. Trustee, the Justice Department's bankruptcy watchdog, objected to plan approval on the same basis, saying there is no justification for such releases.
More than 30 states objected, contending that an overly broad provision in the plan would bar them from enforcing a consent decree regarding restrictions on late fees, third-party fees, attorney fees and force-placed insurance.
Disclosure materials tell holders of ResCap's $2.15 billion in general unsecured claims to expect a 36.3 percent recovery. Unsecured creditors with $2 billion in claims against the so- called GMACM companies are predicted to get 30.1 percent.
The $1.1 billion in third-lien 9.625 percent secured notes due in 2015 last traded on Oct. 18 for 112.125 cents on the dollar, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. In January, the bonds went for 107 cents.
The $473.4 million of ResCap senior unsecured notes due in April 2013 traded on Oct. 21 for 35.65 cents on the dollar, a 52 percent increase since Dec. 19, according to Trace.
ResCap filed for Chapter 11 protection in May 2012.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- The Few and the Proud: Chief Compliance Officers CCOs make significant contributions to success of an RIA, designing and implementing compliance programs that prevent, detect and correct securities law violations. When major compliance problems occur at firms, CCOs will likely receive regulatory consequences.
- Client Communication and Miscommunication RIA policies and procedures must specify what type of communications should be retained. The safest course of action is for RIAs to retain all communicationsto clients, from clients, and about client accounts. To comply with fiduciary obligations, communications must be thorough and not mislead.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced Tuesday that it has awarded more than $14 million to a whistleblower whose information led to an SEC enforcement action that recovered "substantial" investor funds.
The whistleblower program rewards high-quality original information that results in an SEC enforcement action with sanctions exceeding $1 million, and awards can range from 10% to 30% of the money collected in a case.
"Our whistleblower program already has had a big impact on our investigations by providing us with high quality, meaningful tips," said SEC Chair Mary Jo White, in a statement. "We hope an award like this encourages more individuals with information to come forward."
The SEC says that the whistleblower, who asked for anonymity, provided original information and assistance that allowed the SEC to investigate an enforcement matter more quickly than otherwise would have been possible. "Less than six months after receiving the whistleblower's tip, the SEC was able to bring an enforcement action against the perpetrators and secure investor funds," the agency said.
"While it is certainly gratifying to make this significant award payout, the even better news for investors is that whistleblowers are coming forward to assist us in stopping potential fraud in its tracks so that no future investors are harmed," said Sean McKessy, chief of the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower, in the same statement. "That ultimately is what the whistleblower program is all about."
The SEC's first payment to a whistleblower was made in August 2012 and totaled approximately $50,000. In August and September 2013, more than $25,000 was awarded to three whistleblowers who helped the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice halt a sham hedge fund, and the ultimate total payout in that case once all sanctions are collected is likely to exceed $125,000.
As the SEC explains, payments to whistleblowers are made from a separate fund previously established by the Dodd-Frank Act and do not come from the agency's annual appropriations or reduce amounts paid to harmed investors.

Costa Rica v. Burger King
Burger KING Don't Surf… Well, maybe he does actually and we just don't know it!
But he's definitely not surfing in my favorite surfing Mecca: Costa Rica!
Check out this excerpt from the wires this morning…
Government officials said Friday they have banned commercials for the hamburger chain that depict mothers trying to run over company's plastic-headed signature character or hire a hit man to kill him because their kids prefer burgers to home-cooked meals.
The vice minister of the interior, Ana Duran, said the commercials on national TV trivialized violence.
The Costa Rican newspaper La Nacion on Friday published a letter from a mother asking how she was supposed to explain to her 5-year-old son why somebody was trying to kill the Burger King.

This afternoon my family – husband, two children and visiting grandparents – will be going to see the Harlem Globetrotters. I have been wanting to take my boys to the show for years and am so excited to finally be going. I have resisted getting tickets in the past because I thought the show – with it's sure-to-be loud, flashy, potty-humor antics – might be too much for my boys. Too much because we don't do a lot of big, loud, flashy stuff. We mostly do small, fairly quiet, pretty simple things – hikes, reading stories, playing board games, hanging around.
I am quite deliberate about what "extra" things we do on top of our daily activities. I don't want us to do too much, to be too busy or to raise the bar so that "entertainment" is the expected mode; I like to have lots of time for my boys to putter around, be bored and figure out what to do next.
But, that does not mean that things at our house are hushed, somber or overly serious. There is often over-the-top humor, full-throttle basketball games and (let's keep it real) plenty of boy wrestling that turns the corner between playing and fighting. Things get messy, loud and chaotic every day.
Yet, the foundational rhythms and activities are fully grounded; they anchor and orient our family life. The fact that Friday night is Shabbat dinner, reading always happens before bed and our family cheer happens before any road trip are the things that we all rely on and take comfort in.
So, while I hope we have a blast today cheering on those silly Globetrotters, the fun we have will be enhanced both by the rarity of the event and the strong foundation of calm and connection that we share.

]]>Want to try storytelling with your children? Not quite sure how to start? This list of story ideas comes from Franziska Macur, Simplicity Parenting Coach, author, and advocate for using stories to connect with and guide children.

]]>"The world is good" is a popular phrase in my house. My husband and I often say this to our children amidst the goodnights and I love you's before bed; I say it to myself when figuring out how I want to phrase things for my boys, and my husband and I use it as a shorthand with each other when talking about issues related to our children.
What do we mean when we say this? We mean that we want to preserve our boys' innocence and pure love for the world they live in. They believe people are good and everyone is trying their best; we don't want to do anything to change these beliefs.
What does this mean practically speaking? It means I keep NPR off when my kids are in the car; it means I don't curse at other drivers; it means my husband and I save our discussions of politics and daily irritations until our kids are asleep. These are a few of the concessions we make to preserve their innocence, along with many other small, conscious acts of editing out the world's woes.
"Why?" we are sometimes asked. Don't we want our children to live in the "real world"? Aren't we being too overprotective? My answer to these questions is that of course I want my children to grow up to be fully-engaged with their world, and to be capable of dealing with challenges. And, I believe that the best way to help them develop into responsible, engaged, resilient and proactive adults is to allow them to grow up loving this world of ours. There will be plenty of time for my boys to learn about the world's myriad problems and tragedies, and, when they do, I am confident that an early life free from these burdens will help them rise confidently to meet the challenges they are faced with.
Overwhelming children too early with "reality" can breed cynicism, depression and a sense of futility. Even for us adults, who have far more resources (and brain development!) than children, it is sometimes a struggle to stay balanced in the midst of everything going on in our lives an in the world.
By allowing our children to feel secure that the world they have been born into is just the right place for them –a good place, filled with beauty and kindness and miracles– we are giving them a lifelong gift and preparing them to be engaged, passionate and responsible adults who will be stewards of the world, the world that is good.

]]>The Structure of the Brain
A human brain is made of several important sections that perform specific functions. The brain stem – located at the base of the skull and connecting directly to the spine – controls involuntary and basic functions like breathing, regulating body temperature, and blood pressure. Above that is the temporal lobe, which controls hormones and memory. At the very front of the skull is the frontal lobe, controlling rational thought, self-control, and the ability to consider the consequences of actions, whether good or bad.
The most significant fact about the teenage brain is that it develops not evenly but from the back to the front. This can account for the overwhelming hormonal changes and emotional outbursts that teens are known for, along with the inability to really think through the consequences of their actions. This makes teens more susceptible to risky behavior and peer pressure.
Comparing a Teen and Adult Brain
Compared to an adult, a teenager's brain is only 80% developed, which goes against the theory that teenagers are basically adults with less life experience. Teens have more disconnected synapses that impairs their judgment.
Teens also use less of the prefrontal cortex, the part of the frontal lobe that allows humans to read other people's emotions. They are also unable to balance their own emotions due to this underdeveloped part of the frontal lobe. This combination leads to a variety of conflicts between parents and teens due to simple miscommunication.
Even Mature Teens aren't Really Mature
Regardless of how responsible and well-behaved a teen may appear, the biological fact is that his or her brain is simply not ready for judgment calls that adults often face. They do not have the same understanding of how their behavior can affect their own lives or those of other people. Even though teens seem really ready for more independence, they still need parents to be available, listen, and intervene when necessary in life's challenges.
What Teens Need
A teenager's brain is more sensitive to overload, especially when it comes to sensory stimuli. While teens typically learn faster than adults, they can become overwhelmed, especially when feeling stress or deprived of sleep. This can also lead teenagers feeling more susceptible to peer pressure and the inability to make sound decisions.
As a result, teenagers need more restful sleep and down time than adults might. Because they are busy and quite easily distracted, they need plenty of healthy, whole food to feed their bodies and minds. They also need parents who are willing to be there, listen, talk, and provide the structure for teens to stretch against as they continue to grow and develop. Clear expectations and healthy boundaries help teenagers feel secure and provide a firm foundation for their brain development.

]]>"The pleasure isn't in doing the thing, the pleasure is in planning it." ― John Green, Paper Towns
I love Advent. It's my favorite time of the year. It's not only a time that is filled with the delicious smell of cookies, crisp air, and lots of song, but it's also a time of anticipation. And even though many people don't especially like to wait for whatever big event is coming (I mean, Christmas is certainly big), I enjoy it. Marvel in it. I'm filled with wonder.
My daughters' birthdays are in September. Pixie's big day is in the middle and Moxie's at the end. It can be hard to wait two more weeks than little sis'. So while I'm explaining to my older daughter that her birthday is coming soon, I wonder if she will at some point be happy about the fact that she gets to wait a little longer. When I share this thought with my dear husband, he gives me a look that reads somewhat like this. "Woman, I love you dearly, but sometimes I cannot follow your thought process at all."
So I'm not surprised when most of you are shaking their heads in disbelief right now. But for me, the thought of having something great yet to come is almost more satisfying than to have it, hold on to it for just a tiny second, and to finally face the sobering truth that the wonder-filled buildup and the (hopefully) magical event are gone.
Wow, I hear some of you saying. That's not very cheerful. But to the contrary, to me, it is. Instead of having a one day celebration, I might have four weeks. The key is, of course, that the time of waiting needs to be filled with something. Advent is filled with baking, crafting, singing, and (sigh) cleaning. Waiting for a birthday can be filled with making lists or photo albums about what has happened during the last year, or looking forward and figuring out what is going to happen once one is four years old (or 29, over and over again). Just like we are often grateful to have more time to prepare for an exam or interview, we can look at the less stressful events the same way. Or, like Andy Warhol put it, "The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting".
And so, to go back to my older daughter, I hope that she will cherish the fact, one day in her future, that she can enjoy the anticipation just a little bit longer. And for all of you who think like my husband, I hope that you fully embrace the time of waiting. Because the best thing about the magic of anticipation is the fact, that there is always something to look forward to.

Special thanks for today's guest post from David Sewell McCann of Sparkle Stories. He is also sharing free downloadable Halloween stories, which you'll find at the bottom of this post. We hope you enjoy them!
The end of October and the beginning of November are unique in the year. Think of the world festivals during that span of three days: Halloween, All Souls Day, All Saints Day, Diwalli, Samhain, Day of the Dead. How do you imagine them? Many of us see them at night. We see them in the darkness with lights above in the form of stars or fireworks – or lights below in the form of flickering candles.
The common images from these holidays celebrate both darkness and light, but with a mood very different from that of Advent, Chanukah and Christmas. Rather than a feeling of joyous anticipation, we feel wide-eyed and watchful – as if we are about to be surprised.
Though the festivals of late October and early November are all very different, there is a thread that winds its way through them all. This thread is also present during the changes of the season: the descending nature of autumn in the northern hemisphere and the rising nature of spring in the southern. This thread is wonder.
We are in a state of wonder as we light the candles in remembrance of the dead, witness fire 'crackers' overhead, dress up in wild costumes and parade through the streets. Wonder is all around us as the leaves change color and fall, as well as when the fruit trees break out in flower.
Most of the festivals during this time of year have held onto that wonder and kept it in focus. But there is one that feels a little confused. And that is Halloween.
Now, the wonder has not vanished from contemporary Halloween celebrations. In fact, I think it has never been stronger. The commercialization and intensification of the festival, however, has added a layer of stress that has transformed the wonder into something else. Wonder plus stress can become scared. Wonder plus sugar can become frenzied. This, I believe, is why children actually want to dress in gory costumes of monsters, the undead and the maimed. They are still looking for wonder; their aim, I believe, is true. But what they are getting is not unlike the sugary treats. They are getting high-octane wonder in the form of surprise and fear. Instead of the complex sweetness of an apple, they are getting the distilled and intensified sweetness of Skittles. Instead of the wonder of a flickering candle, they are getting the intensified wonder of a sudden scare.
But re-framing Halloween isn't enough for many of us, as we long for a simpler, more pure experience of wonder for our children. As someone who has put a lot of effort into this particular festival, I can say that the children want it too. They want to slow it all down and savor the wonder rather than gulping it like a handful of M&Ms. They want to walk slowly, eyes watchful, as they brush through fallen leaves and spot little lights in the windows of houses nearby. They want to tense up as they approach the door – a door that looks so different at night – and then knock, oh so carefully. They want to wait – imagining who will answer; what will they say, what will happen?
And then smiles and treats and happy conversation follows – providing a rest, an outbreath, before doing it all over again.
The key, I think, is paying attention. Whether you enjoy the tradition of neighborhood trick-or-treating, or you create your own magical Halloween experience: pay attention to the details. Pay attention to the costumes, the treats, the walk, the candles, the decorations, the happy faces. Paying attention to all the aspects of a festival naturally slows it down and simplifies it. Paying attention welcomes in delight and gratitude as well – and they are friends for any celebration.
If you can pay attention but still make room for inspiration, transformation and surprise, then you can offer an experience of wonder to your children, while feeling the wonder yourself. And truly, this is what we all want anyway.

He has been engaged in storytelling all of his adult life through art, film-making, teaching and performing. Out of his experience as a Waldorf class teacher and parent, he has developed a method of intuitive storytelling, which he now shares through workshops and through www.sparklestories.com.

Many people have asked me about organization in a small space, and as much as I want to be able to give them "buy this bin, buy that shelf", that is not what they are asking for, or what they need.
Take my closet, for instance. I have purged through my closet more in the last year than I have in my lifetime. There is a reason for this. As you travel the stages of change, you get closer and closer to the vision of your life that you have possibly hidden from yourself.
I read a blog, Be More With Less a few months ago when I was struggling with the clothing storage issue. I read it and honestly thought, there is no way I can do this! I tabled the idea and went on my merry way.
Last week, I was working on a workshop for parents that I will be giving soon and I wrote something that made me go back to the closet. "Whose closet is this anyways?", I thought.
As I was dreaming and scheming my way through my idea journal, in what I call "Foraging for Answers", I could see plain as day my need for my own Project 333. The number of items in my closet were not really significant, but the items in it were.
As you look into your closet, do you see you? Do you see a version of you? If you are looking at all of these things wondering what mad women bought all of these things, than you are on the right track. Following the tracks in your life is a lesson that comes from nature, and the idea of listening and seeing all that is around you is an important survival skill. Just as animals leave tracks, so do we – and we can see them if we pause long enough.
This is not the time to beat yourself up for buying that dress or sweater you never wore. It is not that day. Frankly, I don't think you should ever do that. You should rather reflect what you were feeling and thinking at the time. That will lead you to much more thoughtful insights.
Now back to the closet project. I took everything out of the closet that I did not feel like truly myself in, and put the rest in an IKEA shopping bag. You know you have one lurking somewhere.
I felt a little uneasy, and knew that was to be expected. I had not worn most of it in ages, and did not feel like me in them anyways. I put the bag in the garage and tried not to hyperventilate.
You don't have to throw out everything you own. Just take a moment and walk in your closet – you can walk right? Now see. Really see whose clothes those are. If they are not yours, take them out. Put them in a bin or a bag and forget about them for a bit. If you are ready donate them to a women's shelter or somewhere where you are sure it will reach someone who it is the right fit for, someone who needs what you are releasing.
After doing this, take a deep breath. I know for me it was so much easier to decide what to wear, and the test came within a week of this process when I had to pack for a business/personal trip. Mission accomplished!
Now it's your turn. Whose closet is that anyway?

]]>By honoring the principles of simplicity, I have seen children's capacity to learn and manage their emotions improve dramatically.
Other wonderful improvements are their ability to:
Living Simplicity allows for the reduction of the "noise" and distractions around us so that we are able to focus more easily and allow individuality to flourish. However, in the fast paced, do more, learn more information age it can be easy to get distracted with the demands on our time and mental real-estate. When we get overloaded with information and interruptions our brain and body can have a challenging time processing, storing and retrieving information effectively. This can appear as lack of focus, low motivation and other behavior or emotional challenges. An overload of information is hard on us because, biologically, we are still processing and responding to this information on a system that was built to make sense of the world as it existed thousands of years ago. Have we garnered the strength and intellect to do it? Yes, but at what cost?
When our brains are presented with too many choices or too much information, we have a tendency to go into multi-tasking mode. Current research tells us that multi-tasking can negatively affect our mental clarity, and that the act of switching between tasks makes us less efficient. This is counter-intuitive, but the reality is that while multi-tasking may allow us to work faster with the assistance of technology, we are actually in danger of producing less. Our creativity, ingenuity and imagination have a hard time keeping up with multiple demands on our mental functional energy.
When we multi-task, there is a tendency for us to have to work harder on the act of concentrating. This act requires that we route the energy we need from our higher level parts of our brain (areas used for memory, creative thinking, problem solving, etc.) to other regions that specialize in such tasks as visual processing and physical coordination. Ultimately, this means that we lose access to whole brain learning and thinking.
What can we do as families to help equip our children to honor the rhythm of simplicity while living in a world that isn't always structured in a way that values a slower pace? Part of the answer is amazingly simple, MOVEMENT.
Over the course of the next few articles, I will share with you how movement can help reignite connections within the brain and between the brain and body. Reigniting these connections will help us learn easier, cope with stress better, and live calmer, more peaceful lives.

To reduce the clutter, inner and outer. To be conscious of what is here and now.
Life and parenting can be hard at times, especially when we're too stressed. It can be hard to know what you need. Hard to remember to trust your gut. To hear what you already know to be true.
When there's too much going on, it can feel like too much to bear.
I've been there. I've had moments where I've felt like it would be easier to have run away and wished for a new life.
This is coming from a woman who was so utterly committed to becoming a mother that I ate bok choy in the morning and had acupuncture needles every week for close to two years. I wanted to be a mom. I am a mom. A grateful lucky mom. And I've had
moments of feeling like it was too much. Too much accumulated stress. Small and big stuff.
Except you don't know your strength until you get through it – life's challenging moments. But in those moments, even if you may lose hope or trust, know that you're not alone.
"We are like the little branch that quivers during a storm, doubting our strength and forgetting we are the tree- deeply rooted to withstand all life's upheavals" – Dodinsky
One of my saving graces has been to simplify (and know that reducing the pressure was not a sign of weakness but of strength).
We simplified out of necessity and with time we deepened our connection, sense of calm and courage.
Our pressure is probably something different than yours. But pressure is pressure.
You know when you feel it and it's not healthy. Or rather maybe you aren't aware of its impact. Pay attention. Listen and you will see.
And our kids feel this pressure too. They feel it whether we know it or not. A different source of pressure. But pressure is pressure.
The biggest pressure of all that we can change is the pressure to get it all right. To do it (mothering, healing, living) perfectly. And the pressure to do it like someone else.
I had to adjust my expectations. I took the pressure off myself.
There is no right way. There are one and a million ways.
There is no one other like you. This is your life, your story, your journey.
You are in charge of the things that you can be in charge of. We need to trust, surrender and hope for the best.
Simplifying can be as simple as taking a pause. Lighting a candle. Saying "No, thank you." Setting a boundary. Turning down the volume.
Remember this. It's all okay just the way it is. Life's not perfectly neat and organized. You can make small changes toward creating a life that is aligned to what matters most to you, but you don't need to do it all over night.
One step at a time.
Simplifying doesn't take all of life's stresses away, but it certainly can make the stresses more bearable. Or it did for us.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference. – Reinhold Niebuhr
