3 Logo Templates and counting!
Fashion Logo Templates
Hand bags, swim wear, shoes, pants, sunglasses, other fashion accessories. These are just a few things these fashion logo templates are designed for. Whether you're a fashion designer, a wholesale clothing buyer, a fashion blogger, or simply a fashion connoisseur looking to break into the industry, chances are that one of these fashion logo templates is just what you're looking for to get as many eyes on you as possible because hey, in the fashion world even your website needs to look fabulous! Our fashion logo templates are the very basic of corporate design. They are a single pre-made logo that can be edited with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Corel Draw. The main difference between a regular logo and our logo templates is that our logo templates are developed to reflect the main idea of the industry, not the particular company. To make the logo work for your company's theme you will need to customize the template by changing the name and colors, etc. That is why you will have full access to the source files so that you can make the precise changes you need. If these templates are in the unique area then they have not yet been purchased by any other customers. If they are not in the unique area then they have been used by someone else. If you pay for the unique version at the unique price they will be removed from the marketplace and will no longer be for sale, otherwise they will be moved to our regular logo template section after you purchase.

Potala Palace
Category: Sense of Place
Photo and caption by Jeremy Nielsen
The Potala Palace is located in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It was named after Mount Potala, the abode of Chenresig. The Potala Palace was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to Dharamsala, India, after an invasion and failed uprising in 1959. Lozang Gyatso, the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, started the construction of the Potala Palace in 1645 after one of his spiritual advisers, Konchog Chophel (d. 1646), pointed out that the site was ideal as a seat of government, situated as it is between Drepung and Sera monasteries and the old city of Lhasa.

The Valenciana region
The Costa Blanca (the white coast) is a 110 miles sunblessed stretch of Mediterranean coast in the South Eastern part of Spain.

The Costa Blanca offers numerous attractions and a large variety of entertainment as well as a whole lot of villages to enjoy the tranquility of the Spanish country life. The Costa Blanca is one of the best appreciated areas by people coming to Spain from all over the world.
General information on the Costa Blanca - the White Coast
Altea - Costa Blanca - Spain The Costa Blanca did not get its name from its famous beaches (as you might think), but from the white blossoms on the fruit trees (olives and almonds) that are grown in this area of Spain. The Costa Blanca stretches from just beyond Denia in the north, to just past Torrevieja in the south. It is a coastal region with golden beaches and beautiful small coves, moving into an interior region of tree covered hills, vineyards and expansive almond tree orchards.
Olive trees - Costa Blanca - Spain The Costa Blanca makes an ideal place for vacationing all year round due to the mild climate in the winter and warm sunny days in the summer. For this reason the Costa Blanca is well known, with resorts like Benidorm, Altea, Alicante and Torrevieja.
Costa Blanca Beaches

Local celebrations
Celebrations on the Costa Blanca - Spain Moors and Christians Feast on the Costa Blanca - Spain
Procession on the Costa Blanca - Spain The two most frequently celebrated feasts are the "Moros y Christianos" and "San Juan". The celebration of "Moros y Christianos" (Moors and Christians) is a re-enactment of some of the most significant history of this area. This is the favourite celebration of the inhabitants of the province of Alicante. Every village and town celebrates the festival at their own time of the year, but each festival is characterized with processions, dancing in the streets, parades, music, fireworks.
Moorish knight on the Costa Blanca - Spain The impressive re-enactment of the arrival of the Moors, the mock fights in the streets and the ultimate defeat of the Moors by the Christians is the central theme of these festivities. In mid-June, the streets are filled with bonfires, dancing, fireworks, bull runs ("Toro Embolado") and huge pieces of paper-maché artwork. This is the festival of "Les Fogueres de San Juan". At the end of the celebration, on the night of Saint John, all the paper-maché artwork is set ablaze. Other fiery rituals, like the "Fallas" in March, are more common to the region around Valencia, though the towns of Denia and Benidorm celebrate these as well.
Cuisine of the Costa Blanca
Cuisine of the Costa Blanca - Spain At the Costa Blanca the typical Spanish cuisine is in ample supply. The most representative dish of the different areas of the Costa Blanca is undoubtedly the Paella, a rice dish that can be prepared in many different ways.
In the mountains the typical Cooking rice is used as one of the ingredients. Together with pork, sausages, pumpkins, turnips, beets, garbanzos and other beans. At the seaside especially numerous fish and shellfish are found on the menu.
The many fish restaurants in the local harbours provide you with the most delicious specialities. The cuisine of the Costa Blanca also offers wonderful desserts, like nougat and ice-cream from the Xixona region, grapes, raisins, dates, almond pie, pastry soaked in sugary syrup accompanied by coffee-liqueur from Alcoy and spicy-liqueur from the Sierra Mariola. The finest red and rosé wines come from the areas Alto Vinalopó and the Marina Alta.

I'm working on re decorating my scrapbooking room and this is just the thing to give it a " OMG" look. Thanks so much for sharing.
"When I start creating, faster than you can say fussy cut, I have a sea of G45 embellishments & packages that are all over the place. A very simple way that I've used to manage chipboard, tags, pockets, flowers, & fussy cut scraps collage is to throw all my pieces into card envelopes & write the contents on the outside storing with the coordinating collection. With the holidays over, it's a great way to re-use those leftover Christmas card envelopes!" - Maria #graphic45 #craftorganization2014

I have several of these little drawer sets from the hardware store. I organize like items and label the each (i.e. rusty things, watch parts, plastic eggs). Mine have drawers that are easy to remove so that I can just pull them right out when working on a project and slide them back in when complete.-Nichola #graphic45 #craftorganization2014

Yak - Unregistered November 19, 2012 1:33 PM HRT aren't even racing anyone. They only positions they gain are from retired cars, assuming they don't retire themselves. If someone's coming, tell the drivers to get well out of the way. Especially in that first sector, where HRT themselves commented beforehand on it being potentially problematic with backmarkers. I don't care if the only way to do it is to go off-roading. You're HRT. YOU DON'T MATTER. 3 agree 2 disagree
rob01 November 19, 2012 1:37 PM Its not so easy to just get out of the way. Even if they are off the pace. Secondly, its the teams responsibility to help their driver with the traffic. In most cases the lead driver can use it to his advantage. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 1 disagree
Yak - Unregistered November 19, 2012 1:46 PM For everyone claiming the HRT was nowhere near in the way, you're just hunting for excuses to hate on Vettel. The HRT most certainly was in the way. You're underestimating just how pathetically slow the HRT is, and Narain only had to hold Vettel up for a fraction of a second to ruin it for Vettel. I recall Webber at Catalunya coming up on an HRT and locking the brakes to stop in time for an HRT that had practically parked on a corner. 2 agree 4 disagree
Yak - Unregistered November 19, 2012 1:53 PM That said, while I say Narain ruined it for Vettel, I mean more that he just gave it away on Vettel's behalf. They were both pretty much at the same pace, but I suspect (not really sure why) that Hamilton would have eventually managed to set it up well enough to make the DRS move stick anyway. It's just a shame the Narain the moving chicane ended that battle prematurely. 1 agree 2 disagree

ImageA neutron radiograph pinpoints problems
The neutron radiograph is recorded on film similar to that used for X-rays. Unlike an X-ray, however, which can see through water but is stopped by metal, a neutron scan penetrates metal but is stopped by water and corrosion. That's enabled Egbert to find flaws that are invisible to the eye and to other systems. And, in some cases, it's allowed him to show that apparent weaknesses are, in fact, stronger than they look.
This image shows a neutron radiograph of an outlet tube from one of the retardant tanks. Pits of corrosion that have reduced the thickness of the metal are marked.

This is an aspect to Intel that is not often mentioned. Intel is the only company that designs and builds chips from the beginning to the end. Samsung is the only company that comes close, but ultimately their chips are ARM designs. Qualcomm, Apple, and other companies that design chips rely on TSMC, Samsung, and Global Foundries to build them for them.
As feature sizes get smaller and smaller it becomes ever more important to customize design to manufacturing constraints. Intel can do this more seamlessly than any other company since everything is in house.

Is It Ever Okay to Cheat?
Written on January 30, 2015 at 11:00 am , by Janet Taylor
One of the greatest lessons that parents try to teach their children is honesty. Winners never cheat and cheaters never win. There is no game or test or outcome that is worth going back on your word or compromising your integrity. So when I hear revered sports figures acknowledge or minimize their role in cheating, it's disheartening. Winners never cheat? Try telling that to the New England Patriots and their fans. They're going to Superbowl 2015 while still defending themselves in DeflateGate. For those of you unaware of DeflateGate, it basically involves a preponderance of deflated balls for one team that provided an unfair advantage. The situation begs the question: Is it ever okay to cheat?
Just the other day, in a BBC interview, Lance Armstrong was questioned about his infamous ban from racing after doping. When asked if he'd do it all again, in regards to doping, he said: "If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to . . . If you take me back to 1995, when it was completely and totally pervasive, I would probably do it again. People don't like to hear that." With all due respect to Lance Armstrong, I have a question: Huh? Did he actually say that he would cheat again? Yes, he did.
I have wiped tears from the cheeks of every single one of my four daughters because of a game that was hard fought but lost and other disappointing outcomes. As competitive athletes, they didn't just learn to win, they learned to lose in spite of their best efforts. Cheating was not an option or part of the game plan.
To reinforce that message with our kids, it may be time to take another look at what cheating really is. One definition of being cheated is to be deprived of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud. We often look at the victim with pity. Why not flip the script? Perhaps it's time to look at what the cheater loses as we teach our children the lessons of playing and losing fairly. How sweet could that victory truly be? Let's show our kids who the real winners are.
What lessons do you teach your children about cheating? Post a comment below and let us know.

Learning from Loss: Why We Need to Embrace Goodness
Written on January 16, 2015 at 5:41 pm , by Janet Taylor
Being blessed with four daughters means that I never had to have the "driving while black" talk. (For those who don't know, that's the conversation parents with black sons must have about the extra precautions you need to take should you be pulled over by a police officer.) Now, let me say up front, I respect, defer to and have admiration for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep our citizens and communities safe. However, as a mother my heart has been broken over the recent events involving innocent black youngsters and black men who have died in police encounters in Missouri, New York and Ohio, to name a few.
Just because these events happened in 2014 doesn't make them any easier to manage emotionally in 2015. Last month, on the second anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting, my heart was broken again as I saw images of the sweet, innocent smiles of victims contrasted with video of the ongoing pain of their surviving family members. A brave mother who lost her outgoing, curious and beautiful daughter stated: "You have bad days and even worse days…but you go on step by step."
Yes, you go on, but how? Maybe the answer is closer than we imagine. The same ability that allows us to feel our own and others' pain gives us the power to recognize that hope is all around us. We just have to make a conscious decision to see it, believe it and state it out loud. Our children need to hear us talk about the good in our lives—good people, good actions, good hearts and good words. That goodness connects us. It connects the people of Sandy Hook and the diverse group of people who are marching together for justice.
The new year provides a prime opportunity to teach our children with renewed spirit about giving, loving and being kind…just because. We can teach our children that the most important aspect of the recent holidays were not presents but presence. Interact in a gentle caring way, share history, swap stories and dole out tight hugs. Grief and heartbreak are part of life, but so are hope, goodness, love. And love heals.
How do you move forward from losses you've experienced or watched others experience? Post a comment below and let us know.

Is It Okay for a Mom to #BreakTheInternet?
Written on November 25, 2014 at 10:00 am , by Janet Taylor
Celebrity provocateur Kim Kardashian hoped to create an earth-shattering event when she posed for naked pictures in an attempt to #BreakTheInternet. (Warning: That hot link goes to her Paper Magazine spread, which includes nude photographs.) Her ample derriere was widely posted throughout cyberspace. Reactions seemed to range from disinterest to disbelief and astonishment.
Many people voiced concern about her seeming lack of seriousness related to her role as a mom and the potential long-lasting effects of images like this on her daughter. "Why would a mother want to pose like that?" some asked.
Yes, she is a mother. She is also being mothered by a woman who is her manager and obviously supportive of her recent photo spread.
For me, the underlying issue is not about her being open to displaying herself as a sexual being. She has the right to pose in any way that she chooses. There has not been any suggestion that she is abusive or negligent to her adorable daughter. The exhaustion of motherhood, with its additional responsibilities and time demands, can impact intimacy and sexual desire. Those are two situations that require process and communication—not a photo shoot.
The real issue is the way the media drives our consumption of knowledge around individuals who seemingly do not inject any sense of purpose or additional meaning into our lives. Enough. How great would it be if we could #BreakTheInternet with examples of kindness, generosity and overall goodness?
The positive news: According to the Wall Street Journal, the Rosetta spacecraft's landing on a comet had more tweets then a champagne glass landing on Kim Kardashian's rear. Score one for the comet and zero for Kim Kardashian. And that is really big, big, big news.
What do you think about Kim Kardashian's attempt to break the Internet? Post a comment below and let us know.

Tips for Handling a Breakup as a Parent
Written on October 10, 2014 at 11:15 am , by Janet Taylor
Breaking up is (especially) hard to do when you're a parent. You may not be hitched to your ex anymore, but you're connected through your kids. Communicate while keeping the peace with these smart strategies.
Set talk terms. If face-to-face is too painful, go with emails, texting or phone calls.
Stick to ground rules. No bringing up past incidents, no cursing and no threatening.
Organize your thoughts. Write down topics that need to be discussed before you pick up the phone, checking off each item as you address it.
Put the kids first. Their welfare is the priority, so avoid placing them in the middle of situations. When in doubt, ask yourself: What's best for them?
Choose words carefully. Replace phrases like "you always" or "you never" with "I feel" or "maybe we should consider."
Listen harder. Sometimes instead of reacting, just reflect. Consider saying, "Let me think about that and get back to you."
Forgive. Let go of old offenses and accept an "I'm sorry"—or be strong enough to offer one.

Keep Your Naked Selfie Covered
Written on September 12, 2014 at 5:00 am , by Janet Taylor
We're used to hearing celebrities bare all in interviews and watching them bare all on movie screens. But this month, when news broke of hackers using the iCloud to leak nude photos of stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, many were shocked. How did the hackers pull it off? What other information could be hacked into? Who's at risk? Aside from the obvious concerns about such a privacy breach, however, another issue loomed. Why take a naked photo?
Maybe it's because I don't even like to pose for, much less share, a photo of myself in a bathing suit sans cover-up. So I can't help but wonder why folks want naked selfies.
One group worth approaching to answer that question: teenagers. Most teens sext to maintain or ignite a relationship, or are pressured into the behavior. A recent study indicated that more than 50% of college students sent sexually explicit texts—with or without photos—as minors. (About a quarter admitted to sending sexually explicit photographs.) These numbers would indicate that among young people sexting is increasing in prevalence. In fact, it has tripled or quadrupled in some ages and categories of teens over the past five years. Boys and girls sext at the same rate, but boys forward more.
As moms and dads, we need to shift our focus to parenting in the digital age. We need to talk to our children and teens about sending pictures, receiving pictures and passing them on. We need to tell them that not everyone is doing it and cyberspace does not have a button for forgiveness. Images that are deleted can be retrieved, and pictures that are sent can be passed along.
The message to our children and teens should be clear and consistent. Do not ever post or send a naked or half-naked selfie to anyone. Ever. They should delete images that are sent to them and not forward them. I want to remind young people that there are many ways to feel good about yourself: practice kindness to others, volunteer in schools and communities, simply contribute to the common good. But keep your naked selfie covered.
Have you talked to your child about sexting? Do you think your son or daughter would ever do it? Post a comment and tell me.

Moms Aren't the Only Ones Trying to Juggle It All
Written on September 4, 2014 at 11:10 am , by Janet Taylor
This August, software mogul Max Schireson announced that he was stepping down as CEO of a billion-dollar company. It was scandalous—but not for the reasons you might think. News that the hardworking former child prodigy was leaving his high-ranking position was met with shock and awe because he was leaning back, if you will, to spend more time with his family. Schireson will still work at his company, but in a lesser role.
Some critics responded with venom, stating that other men would love to do the same but would be left with financial woes. However, most of the response was supportive and highlighted the increasing number of men who choose to be homemakers.
The number of dads in the U.S. who don't work outside the home hit 2 million in 2012, and there's a myriad of reasons why these fathers remain in-house. When explaining his decision, Schireson used the B-word: balance. He felt like his life was out of balance and wanted to realign it in favor of his family. Of note is the fact that his wife is a well-respected clinician and professor of medicine at Stanford University who has managed the seesaw of motherhood and a demanding career in academia.
So what gives? Should it be newsworthy when a high-powered male makes an apparent sacrifice to spend time with his children when women do it all the time?
Well, yeah…
Our kids and families need to have fathers who are on active duty throughout their lives. The way that men play with their children can teach them independence and fearlessness. When fathers ask about school and attend parent-teacher conferences, our children do better in school. It takes both parents to help teens navigate their adolescent years. Discussing paternal attitudes and experiences with difficult topics like sex and drug usage has been shown to delay inappropriate activity.
When fathers like Max Schireson make a conscious decision to be more involved in the day-to-day activities of the their children's lives and support their partners, they are not stepping down but stepping up. I applaud his decision and hope it inspires other fathers to do the same.
What do you think of Max Schireson's decision? Post a comment and tell me.

What's So Bad About Being a Trust Fund Kid?
Written on July 24, 2014 at 11:42 am , by Janet Taylor
To the best of my recollection, I have never met a trust fund kid. I'm sure there are benefits to having a friend who never has to worry about working, paying rent or facing the dreaded "I'm sorry, do you have another card?' from an ambivalent waitress. He or she might offer to foot your bill or pay for trips and would never squeeze you for cash. Sounds convenient, right?
But perhaps actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was aware of something about trust fund children that I am not. His untimely death resulted in a large sum of money going directly to the mother of his three kids because he refused to put any cash into trusts for them. Reportedly, he told his accountant that he didn't want them to be perceived as "trust fund" children.
Which begs the question…why?
His decision is not without precedent. Reportedly, Bill and Melinda Gates will leave their children only $10 million each. Warren Buffet allegedly will do the same. On the other hand, Oracle chief Larry Ellison famously began distributing the family fortune to his kids at the age of 18. He didn't want them to "be afraid of money" but instead wanted them to learn about the ethical and social responsibility that access to a vast fortune entails. Although both dropped out of college, they are hardworking adults.
It's pretty simple to understand why creating trust fund kids may not be optimal for some uber-wealthy families. The common perception is that money is a primary motivator for hard work. That's a complete myth. In fact, leading motivators for hard work are caring about customers and clients, having a sense of purpose, passion, an alignment of values, wanting to achieve and just plain having fun.
What's interesting is that Hoffman made a shrewd declaration of how society endorses the wealthy and privileged at the risk of alienating the lower classes. Perhaps he also wanted his children to learn the value of earning a dollar and, more important, character.
However, character does not come from a zip code. Parents with limited means raise responsible children and struggle with the same parenting issues as middle- and upper-income parents.
For my money, the underlying issue is not related to how much cash we give or leave for our kids, it's the life lessons we teach them. What kind of role models are we as parents? What kind of respect do we exemplify toward others? How much do we show love to folks in our own households?
Money doesn't buy happiness. I would guess that a trust fund doesn't either.
Would you ever establish a trust fund for your child? Post a comment and let me know.

Would You Leave Your Kid Alone in a Car?
Written on July 10, 2014 at 2:01 pm , by Janet Taylor
Imagine this scenario: You're pulling into a parking space so you can pick up Chinese food for dinner. As you glance into the backseat, you can see that your adorable (but extremely energetic) 3-year-old twins are finally asleep and safely strapped into their snuggly car seats. And you wonder: Should you wake them up and bring them into the restaurant with you, or dash inside for just a minute, leaving the kids inside the car alone? You're parked right in front of the restaurant's door. What do you do?
The truth is, if we haven't all made the dash inside, we've at least thought about it for more than a second. However, many parents don't understand the cause for concern until it's too late and they've received a reprimand from a concerned citizen, been handed a summons from an unforgiving police officer, or experienced a tragedy that will be hard to forgive themselves for.
While the specific laws and age limits for leaving a child alone vary from state to state, I imagine some parents are thinking: "I know my kid" or "No one can tell me what to do with my own children." Actually, communities and institutions can and in my opinion should. Some parents need care instructions for their kids. Common sense and parenting skills are not a given. If legislation or consequences keep one child safer at the expense of another parent's inconvenience, so be it.
Now here's my confession: Years ago, I left the motor running and my twins strapped into the backseat of my cool minivan on a hot summer day. Pulling right up to the front door of a local Chinese restaurant, I quickly ran in to pick up my order. It took a minute for me to find out the food wasn't ready. Then I pushed open the front door to see my now moving minivan rolling past me with one of my 3-year-olds at the wheel.
I panicked, crushing my shinbone as I swung open the door and put my foot on the brake. The car went from neutral to park. In shock, I said to my daughters, "Girls, what happened?" My level-headed, still-strapped-in daughter, Taylor, said, "Erin drive." Erin, my sweet and funny aspiring daredevil, just smiled. I was dying inside but so grateful that a tragedy had been averted. And I have never left a child of mine in a car or unsupervised since.
While it's true that parenting skills and styles are very individual, there is always one constant: the responsibility we have to protect our children and not expose them to potentially dangerous situations. You may believe that they'll be just fine in your absence, but—speaking from personal experience—in lieu of a crystal ball, think safety instead.

Turn Off to Turn On: Make Time to Really Connect
Written on July 8, 2014 at 9:38 am , by Janet Taylor
Truly connecting with your spouse, your kids or even a coworker isn't a high-speed endeavor. Meaningful relationships can't be jump-started by hitting send, condensed into 140 characters or easily deleted. They're about a lingering glance, a tight hug or a pat on the back.
Unfortunately, high touch is being taken over by high tech. I've painfully witnessed couples more engrossed in their smartphones than in each other, fathers reacting faster to the ping of a text message than to their kids yelling "Dad!" and moms spending more time uploading family photos to Facebook than letting their kids download with them.
I know, I know, your teen is probably so obsessed with her Instagram account that she's not paying attention to you either. But it's hard to ask a teen to turn off a smartphone when you're not paying attention yourself. My suggestion: Aim for as much real face time as you can. Create mini media blackouts by using a basket to collect electronics for a distraction-free dinner or having a family night devoted to offline entertainment like board games. Most important, teach your children when to pick up the telephone to reach out to someone by modeling that behavior. Our kids need to develop the keys to love and trust that come from a human touch-not a touchscreen.

What Dr. Janet Wants You to Do for 20 Seconds to Feel Better Now
Written on June 18, 2014 at 6:11 pm , by Janet Taylor
How many times have you been hugged today? Chances are even if you're lucky enough to have been enveloped in the arms of someone you love, you still haven't been hugged enough. That's because the more embraces you have, the better it is for your health. Eight, in fact, is ideal. Here's why:
Hugs are a power boost for our immune system. They decrease stress levels, help fight fatigue, promote well-being, lower blood pressure, improve our cardiovascular system and benefit aging muscles. Plus, there is nothing like a hug to make you feel up when you are down or safe when you are searching.
The science behind the embrace helping to heal both your head and your heart can be summed up in one word: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a chemical that's released from your brain during the act of hugging, breast-feeding and, yes, sex. Think about the billions of dollars spent on self-help books, vitamins and little blue pills when one of nature's most potent resources is free and can be plentiful! A 20-second hug, multiple times during the day (as I mentioned earlier, eight is best), is all it takes.
The challenge is to actually do it. Here are some suggestions to get your daily doses in.
1) Unplug. Make eye contact and just go for it.
2) Pay attention. Watch how others are feeling. We get so caught up in our own issues that we miss cues from people that we care about showing us they need to be held.
3) Keep count. When you track and measure a goal, it increases your likelihood of obtaining it.
4) Don't be shy. If you have a teenager who avoids embraces, do it anyway.
5) Draw everyone in. Get your whole family involved. Encourage group hugs.
6) Press the men. Many dads stop demonstrating affection to their sons as they get older. Don't let that be the case in your house.
Happy hugging!

Why Age Is Really Just a Number…at 21
Written on June 5, 2014 at 9:00 am , by Janet Taylor
In a few weeks, the youngest of my four daughters will reach a milestone. She will officially be an adult, as there will be 21 candles on a very delicious cake. Yes, her ticket will be officially punched into adulthood.
Adulthood. It's hard to believe that a birthday can mark critical issues like responsibility, employment security (if you have a job), housing status (What? You still live at home?) and the pressure to finally be in a serious relationship. In other words, there is a general emphasis on just pulling one's life together.
Heavy stuff…but as a practicing adult I know that there is plenty of time to grow up. Growing up is a process that is not just marked by a numerical value. Growing up is a mindset.
Wouldn't it be nice if the parameters of growing up were carded for, much like liquor sales? How cool would it be if delis and minimarts had a calendar marking the current date and the statement: "If you are still immature and born before this date ____, practice self-reflection or ask a real adult to share their experiences and most significant life lessons with you."
What if the ritual of turning 21 was not focused on being able to drink legally but tapped into a person's ability to help others, practice respect and goodwill, and simply focus on making the world a better place to live and coexist?
What if instead of honing in on a chronological age to symbolize the pinnacle of physical maturity and emotional growth, we understood that things like wisdom, self-understanding and self-acceptance are not easily quantifiable but can be gained throughout our life span with a willingness to do so?
In many ways, the over-celebration of adulthood or being "legal" minimizes the true benefit of simply growing older and growing up. The real benefit of growing up is being able to appreciate your own successes and failures, to find the silver lining in disappointment and to have gratitude for joyful experiences. Completeness does not arise from turning a certain age on a certain day. Happiness and self-satisfaction can be present throughout our life span.
If we provide our young adults with an accurate representation of growing old and the recognition that aging is not a disease state but a normal process that holds both real beauty and potential at every age, as well as a blueprint for finding them, then perhaps every 21-year-old will have much more to truly celebrate.
What emotional accomplishments do you hope your child will have achieved by the age of 21? Post a comment and share.

What It Means to Mother Yourself
Written on May 9, 2014 at 9:44 am , by Janet Taylor
As Mother's Day approaches and millions of Americans reach out and touch the speed-dial button to their favorite floral shop, I find myself thinking about the day in another way.
This Mother's Day will be the first for me without the visible presence of my own mother, Joan Taylor, who passed away last spring. The loss of my mother has made me think about the qualities that I need moving forward that will allow me to mother myself.
Those qualities include treating myself with compassion and loving kindness, and being more accepting of difficult situations by hearing my mother's supportive words in my head—words like "everything will work out" or "you did a great job"—even when I'm unsure.
Since I have four daughters myself, Mother's Day makes me examine the legacy that I am trying to leave for them, a legacy not of material or financial wealth but of social and emotional capital. In other words, the ability to tap into their own reservoir of self-understanding and acceptance with a dose of optimism sprinkled in.
This holiday, it's also important to remember that while 90% of women want to be mothers, 39% of them may never be because of issues of fertility or circumstance. And 6% choose to be child-free. For these women, Mother's Day may have multiple meanings.
One consistent factor for all women is the reality that we have been mothered. That experience, either with a biological or nonbiological mother, has a lasting impact throughout our lives. We learn how to love, experience life's challenges, work out feelings of frustration and develop our strengths and values from our relationship with our first love and primary attachment, our mother.
The capacity to support each other as women by sharing our experiences of being mothered and what we have learned about our mothers and ourselves is truly what Mother's Day represents. It's about honoring our growth and origins and loving who we are just as our own mothers, in their unique and individual way, loved us.
Happy Mother's Day!!

Act normal. Professional. No obnoxious selfies. This is what I kept telling myself on the way to Wilmington Tuesday. Morning anchor Lynda Loveland, photojournalist Tom Normanly and I were assigned to the set of one of my favorite shows, SLEEPY HOLLOW. My job was to take some behind-the-scenes pics, post to our Facebook and Twitter pages, and stay out of the way. Our first location was just outside a boardwalk restaurant where Tom Mison (Ichabod Crane) and Nicole Beharie (Lt. Abbie Mills) were shooting one of those humorous "Ichabod meets modern invention" moments that the show does so well. A lot goes into bringing even a seemingly simple scene like that to life. The area was crowded with crew, production equipment, wardrobe/make-up artists, extras, and of course news crews like us. At one point, Mison walked by and acknowledged me with a slight smile and lift of his eyebrow. At that moment, I totally understood why he has no shortage of female fans. I'm just saying, the dude's got charm. I briefly considered trying to execute the Ichabod eyebrow raise on Nicole Beharie, and laughed at the thought of it. Lynda interviewed her for a brief moment, asking about Ichabod and Abbie's relationship. Nicole explained that Abbie didn't really have time for a relationship given the threat of an apocalypse, but admitted that she probably needed love. I wanted to volunteer. I thought better of it.
Our next stop was Screen Gems Studios. It's amazing to see in-person where memorable scenes, like the interrogation of the Headless Horseman, were shot. We spoke with various cast members including FOX veteran John Noble (Henry Parrish/Jeremy Crane) and a new cast member Matt Barr, who plays a rugged bounty hunter/ relic-seeker named Nick Hawley.
They were all professional, insightful about their characters, and excited for the upcoming season. But more importantly for a fan like me: They were real, regular people. Friendly. Inviting. Even bubbly at times.
Lyndie Greenwood (Jenny Mills) gushed about her new puppy. Neil Jackson (Abraham Von Brunt) told us about fight scene injuries he's experienced in his career. Katia Winter (Katrina Crane) revealed that the house she lives in with Greenwood is haunted. And no, I don't mean in the show. I mean in REAL LIFE!
Perhaps the best part of the day was witnessing Jackson, Greenwood and Noble accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge after being nominated by the cast of GOTHAM. So much fun to watch!
I, for one, can't wait for Season Two (premiering September 22). There's going to be brand new demons to fight, new plot twists, new romances, and perhaps even some redemption for characters we've branded as evil. I'm so in! Even more so now because of my experiences on the set! I even had to amend my self-imposed rule:
Act normal. Professional. ONE obnoxious selfie.
