Hello cuties! Valentine's Day is on the rise and love is deffinately in the air~ I really wanted to make a blog post about loving the most important person, yourself! In this post I will also include tips on how to build your confidence. As someone who has struggled with their self esteem and confidence their entire life, I feel like I can offer some information that might be helpful and inspiring to others. However, I am in no way a professional and these methods are things that I have tried that have helped my own personal self esteem and confidence.
♥ Praise Yourself ♥
When it comes to self love and self acceptance, one of the most imporant things is to praise yourself. What I like to do is look at myself in the mirror and say the things that I like about myself to help build my confidence. Note that you do not only have to praise physical attributes. You can say things like, "I'm a very compassionate person.", "I always try my best in whatever I try to do.", "I'm considerate of other's feelings." etc. This excersise could be difficult if you do not like anything about yourself. [believe me, I know the feeling...] If you can't think of anything you like about yourself, look in the mirror and say what you would like to learn to love. Loving things about yourself isn't easy, I understand! But, you can make goals for yourself. Write them down in a notebook or journal. Please note that loving yourself takes time and patcient. You don't just wake up one morning and love yourself. It's something that you have to work on every single day, build it up, so that it becomes a regular way of thinking. Positive thoughts = positive feelings.
♥ Stay Positive ♥
It's very imporant to stay positive in any situation but, especially when it comes to self love and self acceptance. If you're negative all of the time, you aren't going to feel very good. If you don't feel good, you aren't going to feel like being kind to yourself. A lot of the time, when you feel bad, it helps to change your way of thinking. If you are constantly thinking negative thoughts, you are going to have a negative point of veiw when it comes to everything! If you catch yourself thinking/saying something negative, catch yourself and turn it into something positive. For example, you may be frusterated and say something like, "I'm not good at art! There are so many artists that are better and more talented than I am!" instead say, "If I keep practicing I will become as good as the artists I idolize. I won't give up!". That kind of positive thinking can help you motivate yourself in a positive way. Once you feel motivated it is easier to learn self acceptance. Start small, and build from that.
♥ Treat Yo' Self ♥
Self care is VERY important when it comes to learning to love and accept yourself. A lot of the time, we are so concerned with helping and caring for others that we forget to take care of ourselves. In my experience, it's really helpful to have self care days. Pick a day, any day, and dedicate that day to self care. I've heard people call their self care days, "Self Care Sundays" which can help you remember the day. Self care can include many things. Here are some examples of self care;
♥ Take a hot shower or bath with fragrant soaps/bath bombs
♥ Drink some of your favorite tea
♥ Dress up really nice for yourself
♥ Relax and watch your favorite film
♥ Eat your favorite food
♥ Make sure you get enough sleep
♥ Don't forget to take your meds
♥ Take a nap if you feel tired
♥ Drink lots of water!
♥ Read a book and get lost in the pages
♥ Surround yourself with positive, and supportive people
♥ Treat yourself to something on your wishlist [yes, you do deserve it.]
I could literally go on forever but, you get the point. If it makes you happy then it's a form of self care. If it makes you feel healthier, it is a form of self care. You can only really help others after you have helped yourself. It's nice to take care of others but, please remember that YOU are the most important person in your life!
♥ Don't Compare ♥
In my personal experience, the worst thing you can do is compare yourself to someone else [in a negative way]. Saying things like, "I wish I was more ______ like ______.", "Why can't I be ______ like ______?" etc. will only make you feel inadequate. Just because someone is attractive, smart, talented, etc. that doesn't mean that you aren't any of those things. This is where positive affirmations come in handy. Replace those negative comparisons with, "I am". For example, "I AM intellegent, attractive, empathetic, open minded, rescourceful, fashionable--" etc. Only you can define who you are. If you want to change your appearance or character to become more confident, do you! If you want to eat healthier so that you can lose weight in a healthy way, go you! If you want to change your hair, go for it! If you want to change your style, that's awesome! But, don't do it to be like someone else. You are the only you there is so be the best you that you can be! I believe in you!
♥ Stay Cute ♥
For me, what really helped build my confidence was looking the way that I wanted regardless of what other people thought. The truth is, people are going to judge you no matter what so you might as well do what makes you feel the most happy and confident with yourself. No joke, being yourself can be really scary at first because you never really know how people are going to react. But, I promise that once you do you will feel so much happier and confident. Dress the way you want and as long as it makes you happy, what other people think of you do not matter. If you want to wear wigs, go for it! If you want to wear a fashion or style that isn't widely accepted or worn in your area, you should! I promise you, it will change your life and you will become a lot happier in the long run! Changing your look will take time. Start small, and build up. If you want to enhance your usual/natural style/features that's cool, too! What's imporant is that you are doing whatever is making you feel the most confident.
I have been working on learning to love and accept myself for the past year and a half and I've become a lot more comfortable and confident in myself. However, I still have bad days where I feel icky. It's a work in progress and that's okay. Like I said before, it's something that you have to work at every single day and build up overtime. It can be very frusterating at times but, don't give up! As long as you keep trying, you will get to where you want to be. I believe in you!
Let me know what you thought of this post and if it was helpful to you! [I hope so.] Also, if you have something you like about yourself, let me know down below in the comments. I'd love to see the positive aspects that you see in yourself.
Much love,
Angel a.k.a Pastel Cutie

The Campus Renewal Ministry mission excites me: "to create and catalyze united movements that transform college campuses for Christ. By bringing students, campus ministries, and local churches together in prayer and evangelism, we strengthen the influence of the Body of Christ on campus."
Of late, I've been captivated by my readings on the role of the college campus in past spiritual awakenings. I am convicted of the importance of students, campus ministries and churches all working together, especially in prayer, for our campuses. It's made me examine the key relationships God has given me and ask how I might use them to this end.
I sense an urgency for this unified effort especially when I read Dan Hayes' statement in Fireseeds that "…we clearly observe the importance of the college campus in God's global plans and surmise that if revival is to break out again, there is a great likelihood that it will be on the campus, as it has been historically, and that the results of such a revival today would be nothing short of the fulfillment of the Great Commission."1
A Cord of Three Strands.
As Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, "a cord of three strands is hard to break." Commentaries on this passage note that cooperation is better than competition; and notes an old saying "Dum singuli pugnant, universi vincuntur—While they fight in detached parties, they sacrifice the general cause." Are we sacrificing the greater cause of Christ on campus by "fighting in detached parties?
My own ministry affiliations -- Ratio Christi, Moms in Prayer International and the Collegiate Day of Prayer -- touch those students, campus ministries and local churches CRM wants to strengthen to influence the Body on campus. What if we all used our "strategic strands" of ministries to weave what we have individually into a corporate cord of strength for what God wants to do on our country's campuses?
Here are some of my ideas. Would you prayerfully consider implementing as many of these suggestions as you are able? And then would you share your ideas as well?
Strand 1—Students:
- Gather with at least one other student to begin to pray for your campus; the great awakenings of the past started with prayer by students on campus. You may be praying the seeds of the next revival.
- Invite your local church to pray for you and your campus especially on the Collegiate Day of Prayer.
- Ask your mom (parents) to pray for you and your campus and communicate with them about real needs. Consider Moms in Prayer groups.
Strand 2--Campus Ministries:
- Pray regularly with other campus ministries.
- Multiply the number of campuses covered in prayer by Moms in Prayer groups by encouraging students to ask their moms to joining or starting a group; direct them here or here.
- Subscribe your students' parents and local churches to your newsletter to give them a "scouting report" for prayer needs.
- Email me at email@example.com to share prayer needs for campuses in general and yours specifically, allowing me to equip our college praying moms for more strategic prayer.
- Model cooperation with other campus ministries. Our Ratio Christi values state that we are a non-competitive ministry and exist to serve other ministries on campus by training students in evangelistic apologetics. If you have an RC chapter on your campus let's work together; if you don't, help us start one. We are another tool in the tool belt for your students to become even stronger in their membership in your ministry. Paul recognized that others saw that the same Spirit was at work in him and Peter despite their different "ministries" Gal. 2:7-8 (ESV). So should we. Let's not leave one another "stranded."
Strand 3--Churches:
- Reach out to nearby college campus ministers to find out how you can pray for them, their ministry, and their students.
- Welcome college students and provide for their unique needs--start an adopt-a-student initiative.
- Pray for the professors on campus.
- Partner with campus ministries to bring events, speakers, live stream simulcast teachings to your area. (Ratio Christi's servant leadership model seeks to equip students and local churches in apologetics training; we partner with leading apologists for events in your community. I have done this with my own church and our local RC chapter.)
- Bridge the gap between church and parachurch ministries.
- Begin a college prayer ministry; encourage your moms to begin or join Moms In Prayer groups and allow them to meet at your church and provide childcare.
To strengthen the Body of Christ on Campus.
"The greatest hope of our globe is revived university students…"2 says Hayes. He also beckons us to become "revolutionaries who are praying, working, and expecting the Lord to revive believers on campus and awaken unbelievers to the glory of His name."3
Let's lay our strands at His throne and ask him to help us braid them into a cord of cooperation. As revolutionaries banded together, we will strengthen the influence of the Body of Christ on campus and fan the flame of revival.

LONDON -- The International Energy Agency warned of declining supply from OPEC members Libya and Iraq even as it revised higher its expectation of demand for oil from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
In its latest monthly report, the IEA, which represents some of the world's largest oil consumers, pegged demand for OPEC's oil at 29.8 MMbpd this year, an increase of 200,000 bpd from its previous forecast.
The latest demand estimate is still comfortably below the group's average production level for the first half of the year of 30.6 MMbpd, but the IEA warned that "continued supply outages in Iraq and Libya may reduce the group's output in coming months."
Disruptions to production in Libya and Iraq already saw OPEC's output fall by 170,000 bpd in July, despite an increase in Saudi Arabia's production to the Kingdom's highest in a year.
Protests in Libya saw the country's production dwindle to just 400,000 bpd in the beginning of August compared with an already reduced output of 1 MMbpd in July, according to the IEA's figures.
Meanwhile, supply from Iraq fell below 3 MMbpd for the first time in five months in July as a result of attacks on a major pipeline and is expected to plummet by around 500,000 bpd from September as a result of planned infrastructure work at its southern terminals.
However, the IEA added that strong supply growth from non OPEC producers and easing demand from refineries in the coming months could mitigate supply issues elsewhere.
Refinery demand for crude oil has soared since the spring, rising 5.1 MMbpd between April and July, more than twice the five year average, the IEA said. However, it added that refinery runs are likely to ease from next month since output has risen faster than demand.
At the same time, non OPEC production is expected to continue to grow strongly in the next six months. The IEA forecasts that substantial production growth in North America will help lift non OPEC output by 1.4 MMbpd in the second half of the year compared with a year earlier to reach 55.4 MMbpd in Q4.

Pro: Nice atmosphere and great location (RIght next to Liberty Square), the facilities are reqularily checked and cleaned by the friendly staff. Con: Private rooms don't lock. For sleeping you only get a blanket, if you're tall like me (1,92m) you'll have a hard time covering yourself up, so it gets quite a bit cold at night if you don't bring a sleeping bag.

The thorns on the stem,
red tipped and sturdy.
while the roses cling to the trees,
with all of thier might.
Wild roses fill the clearing edge,
making the scene from the middle,
as much red with flora,
as green with vegitation.
Some roses blossom,
and some roses are yet to do so.
Some roses big and full,
and some are not so huge.
This place is my place where,
my heart lies and loves.
It will always be here,
when I am found someday.
If you find the forest,
and find the red of the trunks,
then walk inside,
and see the beauty.
See what I've seen,
everyday in my life.
See the serene flower scene,
of the wild roses here.
Learn to live and love,
like a true rose is meant to be.
learn to be alive,
like the clearing or roses.
White Rose

Put Europe back on your bucket list and visit beautiful Barcelona, Spain, where the weather is balmy, the people are friendly, and the sightseeing is fascinating and in abundance.
Unlike many of our other tour packages, our Breathtaking Barcelona is designed for travelers who want a lot of freedom and flexibility to explore at their own pace. Get your first orientation of Barcelona with the included 24 hour Hop-On Hop-Off pass.
After that, you can continue to explore Barcelona freely from your centrally located hotel, or choose from several exciting optional guided excursions—the choice is yours! You can tour the masterworks of Barcelona's most famous architect, Antoni Gaudí, enjoy a paella dinner and flamenco show, or head out on day trips to fascinating sites outside Barcelona, such as the Dalí Museum in Figures, the famous mountaintop monastery of Montserrat. As an added bonus, you can also extend your stay for three days in the city of lights, Paris, France.
So much to see and enjoy, and so little cost...how can you possibly resist? But don't wait long, because this deal is too good to last.
Day 1: Depart USA. Your exciting trip to Barcelona begins today as you depart for Spain on an overnight flight.
Day 2: Barcelona. Upon arrival in Barcelona, make your own way to your hotel independently. Enjoy the balance of the day to relax and unwind and enjoy the facilities of the hotel. Or venture out for your first exploration of the city. Your hotel is conveniently located outside of Ciutadella Park, at the northeastern edge of the old town, it is home to the Barcelona Zoo, the Parliament of Catalonia, a scenic lake, the Museum of Natural Science, and The Cascada, designed and erected by Josep Fontsére and a young Antoni Gaudí, as a student. Accommodations: K+K Hotel Picasso.
Day 3: Barcelona. Enjoy three days of leisure in exciting Barcelona. Choose which day to activate your 24 hour Hop-On Hop-Off pass for a complete orientation of this fascinating city.
We suggest a walk along the beautiful La Rambla (also known as Las Ramblas), a wide, meandering, shaded boulevard which follows the contours of Barcelona's medieval city walls. La Rambla is filled with colorful shops, outdoor cafés, street performers, and lively activity, and Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once referred to it as "the only street in the world which I wish would never end." Just off the Rambla, discover the lovely Plaça Reial, a large palm-lined square which is the hub of Barcelona nightlife. Or explore the vibrant La Ribera neighborhood, once the home of medieval artisans and wealthy merchants, and now a haven for restaurants, wine bars and cocktail lounges, dance clubs, designer boutiques, art galleries and museums.
Or, venture outside of Barcelona to explore Girona and Dalí Museum in Figueres, two of the most famous attractions in northern Catalonia. Or travel to nearby Montserrat to visit the famous Santa Maria de Montserrat perched high on the mountain.
In the evenings, delight in a paella dinner and watch a Flamenco show. Or choose from a wide variety of restaurants serving tapas, or fresh seafood and many other regional and international specialties. Breakfast provided.

Sudden Deafness: Quick Facts.
* Causes/Diagnosis
* Treatment
* Research
* Additional Online Resources
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL), or sudden deafness, is a rapid loss of hearing. SSHL can happen to a person all at once or over a period of up to 3 days. It should be considered a medical emergency. A person who experiences SSHL should visit a doctor immediately.
A doctor can determine whether a person has experienced SSHL by conducting a normal hearing test. If a loss of at least 30 decibels in three connected frequencies is discovered, it is diagnosed as SSHL. A decibel is a measure of sound. A decibel level of 30 is half as loud as a normal conversation. A frequency is another way of measuring sound. Frequencies measure sound waves and help to determine what makes one sound different from another sound.
Hearing loss affects only one ear in 9 out of 10 people who experience SSHL. Many people notice it when they wake up in the morning. Others first notice it when they try to use the deafened ear, such as when they make a phone call. Still others notice a loud, alarming "pop" just before their hearing disappears. People with SSHL often experience dizziness or a ringing in their ears (tinnitus), or both.
Some patients recover completely without medical intervention, often within the first 3 days. This is called a spontaneous recovery. Others get better slowly over a 1 or 2 week period. Although a good to excellent recovery is likely, 15 percent of those with SSHL experience a hearing loss that gets worse over time.
Approximately 4,000 new cases of SSHL occur each year in the United States. It can affect anyone, but for unknown reasons it happens most often to people between the ages of 30 and 60.
Though there are more than 100 possible causes of sudden deafness, it is rare for a specific cause to be precisely identified. Only 10 to 15 percent of patients with SSHL know what caused their loss. Normally, diagnosis is based on the patient's medical history. Possible causes include the following:
* Infectious diseases.
* Trauma, such as a head injury.
* Abnormal tissue growth.
* Immunologic diseases such as Cogan's syndrome.
* Toxic causes, such as snake bites.
* Ototoxic drugs (drugs that harm the ear).
* Circulatory problems.
* Neurologic causes such as multiple sclerosis.
* Relation to disorders such as Meniere's disease.
People who experience SSHL should see a physician immediately. Doctors believe that finding medical help fast increases the chances for recovery. Several treatments are used for SSHL, but researchers are not yet certain which is the best for any one cause. If a specific cause is identified, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics for the patient. Or, a doctor may advise a patient to stop taking any medicine that can irritate or damage the ear.
The most common therapy for SSHL, especially in cases with an unknown cause, is treatment with steroids. Steroids are used to treat many different disorders and usually work to reduce inflammation, decrease swelling, and help the body fight illness. Steroid treatment helps some SSHL patients who also have conditions that affect the immune system, which is the body's defense against disease.
Another common method that may help some patients is a diet low in salt. Researchers believe that this method aids people with SSHL who also have Meniere's disease, a hearing and balance disorder.
Two factors that help hearing function properly are good air and blood flow inside the ear. Many researchers now think that SSHL happens when important parts of the inner ear do not receive enough oxygen. A common treatment for this possible cause is called carbogen inhalation. Carbogen is a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide that seems to help air and blood flow better inside the ear. Like steroid therapy, carbogen inhalation does not help every patient, but some SSHL patients taking carbogen have recovered over a period of time.

Have you seen this cabinet pull...
...in a product that has a range of size offerings? This one is available in 4 7/8" & 6" (satin nickel), and we would like to go up to 10" or 12" for our larger doors/drawers, but cannot seem to find that. Any help here would be appreciated, thanks.
Restoration Hardware Mason pull has similar lines and is available in 3,4,6,and 8 center to center. It is available in satin nickel.
I love American Diner by Hickory Hardware but it isn't as sleek as your choice and is only available in 3, 3 3/4, and 128mm.
Holly-kay, you have hit a home run for us with the Hickory Hardware Greenwich. Exactly what we were looking for -- Length options from 4 to 19 inches, and in stainless (which we prefer), and at a reasonable price point. And this after we spent a couple of days scouring the internet looking for options. This is why GW is such a great source of information -- thank you!

VTA has proposed a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan for a 17-mile stretch of El Camino Real from San Jose through Mountain View and Los Altos to Palo Alto.

LASD race: Counting absentee ballots takes time
- Details
- Published Date
- Written by Traci
The fate of a number local races hangs in the balance as the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters continues to tabulate absentee ballots returned to polling places on Election Day.
Who will serve on the Los Altos School District Board of Trustees and whether the district's Measure N bond passes are yet to be determined.
County Registrar Shannon Bushey said the office is currently processing and counting an estimated 150,000 absentee ballots returned through Nov. 4. The results the office published 4 a.m. Nov. 5 included the 81,000 votes cast at polling places on Election Day.
At 5 p.m. Nov. 5, the registrar released results for 16,000 absentee ballots, but the county still has another 105,000-135,000 absentee ballots to process.
Counting absentee ballots, which arrive in sealed envelopes, is a labor-intensive process. Bushey said the ballots first must be sorted by precinct and go through a sorting machine that tallies them and captures voters' signatures. The registrar's office staff must compare the signatures to ensure that they match for approval, and then the staff open the envelopes and prep the ballots for processing the vote counts.
Bushey said the first day of counting absentee ballots includes more preparation and sorting, prompting the low-results count of only 16,000 ballots processed. She estimates that the office will complete counting absentee ballots by Saturday but will work Sunday if necessary.
The Registrar of Voters' website is scheduled to update totals at 5 p.m. each day.
After absentee ballots are counted, the Registrar of Voters must process the 14,000 provisional ballots cast on Election Day, which, according to Bushey, would take at least a week.
All election results will not be certified officially until Dec. 2.

- Written by Bruce Barton
Victory is at hand for Measure N, the Los Altos School District's proposed $150 million bond measure. The latest totals show Measure N meeting the 55 percent approval mark needed to pass. The current totals are 8,485 "yes" votes, or 57.27 percent, after additional tallies of absentee ballots. "No" votes totaled 6,332 or 42.73 percent.

When the hounds of spring are on winter's
traces, The mother of months in meadow or plain Fills
the shadows and windy places,
With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain, For
winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the season of snows and sins,
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover,
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
