Are you a fan of essential oils? Have you heard about them but don't know why anyone uses them?
I used to think they were just expensive scents that I could get much cheaper in a room spray. They are so much more.
Most of you have heard of aromatherapy. So they light up some candles, dim the lights and this will heal you? Yeah right. Boy was I surprised to learn this is nothing like true aromatherapy and the use of essential oils.
Real essential oils are used to heal the body and the mind. No really. These little bottles of sometimes rare herbs and spices, can make you more alert, curb your appetite, stop the sniffles and more.
Now in order to have essential oils work their "magic" you must be sure you are buying pure, organic oils.
- Look for a label marked "U.S. Department of Agriculture organic certification. This indicates the oil is pesticide-free and you are not wasting your time or money on chemicals.
- Each type of oil should be priced differently depending on the rarity of the herb/flower used. If everything in the store offers essential oils for $7.99 each, you can bet that some, if not all will contain fillers and synthetic substances. If it is not the real thing, it won't have any medicinal properties. You can get started or popular sets for some great prices, however.
- All bottles should be amber or dark to protect it from oxidation.
- Label should contain the oil's Latin name of the plant.
Try one out today.
- Grapefruit essential oil is known to curb appetite. You put the oil in a diffuser and inhale the oil's aroma. It is said to dull hunger pangs.
- Lavender Oil has a light smell of, well lavender. This oil is useful in any first aid kit. The oil can be used in place of any anti-bacterial lotion. Lavender is also know for its calming effect and is recommended as a scent on your pillow at bed time.
General Safety Information: Do not take any oils internally and do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated essences onto the skin without advanced essential oil knowledge or consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.

Sundeep Kishan's career is going great guns these days, thanks to the success of 'Venkatadri Express'. The film has already crossed its 50 days run in theatres and it's still being screened in a select few screens despite the presence of two big films. Now, the actor is gearing up to don a new avatar and this time he's taking up the role of a producer.

Over the past few months, several short filmmakers like Virinchi Varma and Pavan Sadineni have begun their careers as feature film directors. It remains to be seen if Prashanth Varma will join this list of filmmakers.

The Boys Reviews
July 23, 2016
The Boys, a chilling Australian film rife with domestic violence features Brett Sprague (David Wenham), a man on parole whose thin veil of humanity becomes evident within hours of moving back in with his two brothers, their girlfriends, and mom. Manipulating and intimidating everyone in the household doesn't come easy. As the mother fails to keep together the family in Brett's wake, the household becomes beset with Brett's omnipotent presence evidenced in the following quote from the end of the film "We're all gods in our own world", said before committing a heinous crime that viewers are only allowed to speculate at based on a few lines in the ending scene and cut ins of the three brothers being escorted in handcuffs. The beginning of the film features eerie piano music from The Necks, showing images of everyday household objects illustrating how the ordinary can take on meaning often larger than itself, providing escape for the inhabitants of this household run by a sociopath.
June 14, 2013
A film that creates such an atmosphere of high tension as I have ever experienced. Wenham's amazing range on display with his menacing Brett Sprague.
½ April 16, 2013
Apart from a couple of swerves into histrionics typical of Australian dramas, this is really good; the tension is built really well, and though the flash-forwards seem trite at first, they make more and more sense as it goes along, until you get the to perfectly-timed ending and it all comes together. Fucking bogans.
February 9, 2013
excellent gritty film. recommended for those who like character studies
February 9, 2013
This fictional dramatisation of the events leading up to the real life rape and murder of Anita Cobby is compelling viewing. David Wenham is chillingly convincing as Brett Sprague who has just been released from prison and returns home to his mother, brothers and girlfriend.
December 25, 2012
Easily one of the most striking films of the 90's to come from Australia. It is a showcase of future Australian talent and a remarkable observation on the family psyche with crime and disrespect.
½ August 10, 2012
Exceptionally directed by Rowan Woods, this gritty tale in which flashforwards gradually reveal the boys' fate, finishes off with a final line of dialogue that says so much about Brett.
It doesn't take long to work out how the structure of the Sprague family works, with David Wenham's Brett intimidating and manipulating his way to the top of the pack, allowing the men to dominate and the woman to become subservient. And it's through this process that Wenham truly shines, because it says a lot about an actor who can make his audience on edge as much as those around him. As his younger brother Glenn, John Polson is also brilliant and is the most compassionate of the title characters, with youngest brother Stevie (a solid performance from Anthony Hayes) conveying his suppressed rage in almost every scene. As for the women, Lynette Curran is sympathetically convincing as the boys' mother and Toni Collette is superbly powerful as Brett's girlfriend Michelle.
Exceptionally directed by Rowan Woods, this gritty tale in which flashforwards gradually reveal the boys' fate, finishes off with a final line of dialogue that says so much about Brett.
December 23, 2011
Such a good Australian film. Very dark
June 25, 2011
awesome australian film its so tense and nerve wracking cos somebody could snap any minute
½ June 11, 2011
This movie was ok. Took a while to get going... then started going forward and back in time... then it ended. Wouldn't recommend.
June 20, 2010
Rowan Woods spins his oppressively shot & acted web with all the tension of a horror film, right up to its shattering conclusion.
½ January 18, 2010
Again all tears and insulting. Yawn!
½ January 9, 2010
Gritty crime drama where the top-notch acting creates all the realism. This is more of pull for the film than the story.
Super Reviewer
April 8, 2009
It's a difficult and painful film to watch, but it is nonetheless an experience in the waiting.
October 2, 2008
Brillant Australian movie, quite scary the reality of it.
½ September 22, 2008
Faramir off of The Lord of the Rings is an unpredictable psychopath in this Aussie kitchen sink drama. A precursor to the superior Chopper this is a chilling glimpse into the life of a family you'll be thanking your lucky stars you're not part of.
September 14, 2008
excellent, but frightening.
September 8, 2008
David Wenham is incredibly impressive in this. It's a terrifically tense drama
August 6, 2008
Toni Collette is great.
½ June 8, 2008
Amazing acting here, a very scary powerful flim... Its the events of one day (and bits and pieces of the future) its shows how destructive these people are... David Wenham made an amazing psychopathic bogan, and Toni Collete was there doing the trash thing (but with UNDERARM HAIR) lol.. nah, recommended; very authentic and chilling.

Hey Lovelies, first off Happy Valentine's Day! Use this day and more to spread love and just make someone smile. Today we are going to cover a lot of stuff from the Grammys to New York Fashion Week and more!
New York Fashion Week
Whether it's a chic look for the season or a political statement addressed in clothing. I've been taking notice of many looks that have been walking down the runways and our city streets and there are just many that I have been loving, so here they are.
The 2017 Grammys
This was a night full of stellar performances and touching tributes. I was absolutely blown away by Adele and Beyonce's performances. I also loved Bruno Mars, Chance the Rapper and the Weeknd's performances as well.
Now as for fashion, there were tons of hits and major misses. In all honesty, I adored Beyonce's, Rihanna's, Adele's, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Lady Gaga's, Paris Jackson and Solange's looks. There are a couple others, but those are my favorites. The looks really flattered their figure and spoke to their styles and personalities, as well as brought with it some aura of confidence.
As for the misses? I really wasn't a fan of Katy Perry's dress. I looked at the top and thought it was gorgeous, the gold and all was really flattering. Then, you get to the bottom of the dress and there is this shag thing that really needs to find it's way out. The bottom portion of the dress wasn't cute, and it didn't mesh together well with the top portion of the dress. I absolutely loved her makeup and hair, but that dress was not doing her justice. Honestly, if we could just grab some fabric scissors and just chop that shag material on the bottom part of her dress right off, and somehow elongate the golden portion on top, then it'd look so much better. Another one was this colorful bubblegum ball pit looking mess, and I don't know the name of the girl who wore it was. The idea was cute-ish, but the execution of the look was borderline tacky looking to me. Those are just some of my honest thoughts on the looks that evening and I could go on, but we have got to move on hun.
Newest Bachelorette Announced!
So, I'm pretty sure we are all somewhat aware of the ABC show, 'The Bachelor'. Well, recently, the Bachelorette, for next season was just announced, and she hasn't even left Nick Viall's season of the Bachelor yet. For those of you that don't know yet, Rachel Lindsay has just been announced as next year's Bachelorette! People feel the announcement is too soon, for the obvious reason being, she is currently on Nick Viall's season as one of the final four. I'm honestly really happy for her, though, as she seems like such a well-spoken, fun and genuine person. So, good luck to her as her journey to finding love continues.
However, can we get real for a minute, for those who have kept up with this season...all I can say is that it is just crazy. The ongoing drama is funny to watch, literally so unrealistic and entertaining, I can't stop watching.
That's it for Girl Talk! More to come next week loves, so stay tuned!

Honda Motor Co. has expanded its recall of vehicles with Takata Corp. air bags yet again, adding 1.63 million vehicles in Japan and bringing the total number of recalled vehicles to 24.5 million.
The recall is Honda's third largest this year and an expansion of a May recall.
Seventeen models are affected. Honda has expanded the model years to include those manufactured between 2007 and 2011. Honda said it doesn't believe there is any danger with vehicles manufactured after 2012.
Honda has not announced the cause of the recall, but previous recalls involved airbags exploding with too much force and sending shrapnel into the car.
"We apologize deeply for the great problems we have caused our customers," Honda said in a statement. "We will continue to investigate the cause of the air-bag problem."
An addition 2.87 vehicles are expected to be recalls in other Asian nations, but the countries have yet to be notified.
Ten automakers have been affected by the Takata recall, but Honda has seen the brunt of it. The recall is the largest in the auto industry.
There have been eight deaths and 130 injuries linked to the defect, although none related to this month's recall.
Earlier this month, Nissan Motor Corp. reported its first injury related to a Takata airbag. A Japanese driver in a 2001 X-Trail sports utility vehicle was burned when an airbag exploded, sending hot fragments into the car and breaking the passenger-side window.
Takata's president apologized at a June press conference for the deaths and injuries. The company had previously apologized in the media and press releases.
The company said it does not know how long it will take to find the source of the problem.
In the United States, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he believes Takata should set up a victims' compensation fund.
It is unknown whether Honda will continue to use Takata airbags. Honda owns 1.2% of Takata.
Chinese Sales
Meanwhile, Honda CEO Takahiro Hachigo told reporters sales in China have dropped compared to 2014 after the Chinese stock market dropped sharply.

Made from recycled industrial artifacts from the the early 1960s, this 15 minute hourglass is a beautiful and unique piece!
Quick Overview
This 15 minute timer is made of recycled industrial artifacts dating back to the 1960's. The timer is composed of antique wood spools found in abandoned textile mills in England. The spools were used to hold thread, cotton, and yarn that were spun into fabric. This particular timer was a ""tumbler"" and was used as a roller. Yarn passed between these rollers to be pressed and controlled before it was spun into fabric. The tumblers came from Joseph Lumb at Folly Hall Mill, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, which closed around 1969.
Each timer has a cotton sticker from placed on its base. These stickers were made in New York in 1917 and found in cupboard in an abandoned sewing thread factory in Leek, Derbyshire.
The sand glass is mouth-blown in the United Kingdom. As with all antique and hand-made items, the colors and decorations vary from piece to piece. We consider this to be a special part of their history and character.
We LOVE this!! We bought this to use as a timer for a Woman's Group. It is a perfect way to watch our sharing time without a buzzer going off. Between group sessions it looks awesome in our old world home library! Everyone who sees it thinks it is totally cool!
It arrived very quickly.
The hourglass was excellent value for the price; quality was higher than I expected.

I believe that teaching is a two-way street, meaning that while I have knowledge and experiences to share with students, they, too, have knowledge and experiences to share with me. Thus the 'two-way street' allows teachers and students to create a symbiotic relationship with one another that allows for Socratic conversations, self-made creations, and transference of skills. I also believe most students learn best when they are challenged, have room to be expressive, and lastly have the opportunities to demonstrate, apply, and stretch their learning.

[Plugin: wp-FileManager] feature request: move files
Hey people,
First of all, thumbs up for the developers! I like the plugin, it is small and does the trick. The only thing I'm missing and want to ask if it is possible the abilty to move files. I'm using this plugin on a movie site. In the beginning we uploaded heaps of movies unsorted. Now we need to download them, delete them for an 'unsorted' folder and then if the movie has all the information, upload it to a sorted folder. A couple of steps more…. But then again, I love this plugin! Thnx for coding this and keep up the good work!

"Canadian lawyers typically don't compete by reducing their own costs — that type of competitive advantage is lost on them. Gowlings seems to be the lone Ontario exception as they opened operations in Hamilton, Ont. (quite some time ago) for reasons that must be related to costs savings. There still seems to be a notion that moving non-legal or even legal functions to low-cost centres is not the Canadian way." — Mitch Kowlaski, Sept. 13, 2012

School of Arts Becomes An Oasis in the Bronx
Published: June 26, 1988
In the embattled inner-city Bronx neighborhood of Morrisania, it is not uncommon to see schoolchildren playing amid rubble-strewn lots and rows of dilapidated buildings. But here, some schoolchildren also play the cello, the saxophone and other instruments; perform arabesques and pirouettes, and learn to make silk-screen prints.
For those students, the St. Augustine School of the Arts, a Catholic grade school, is an oasis of children's culture in the heart of the South Bronx.
St. Augustine, which offers a curriculum that combines a traditional academic schedule with rigorous instruction in music, art and dance, is the only school of the arts in the New York archdiocese. And unlike most of the other such schools in New York, which seek exceptionally talented students and hold rigorous competitions for admission, St. Augustine admits average students and helps them to discover their artistic potential.
The program of the school, which is at 1176 Franklin Avenue, near 168th Street, enables its students, 90 percent of whom live in the South Bronx, to explore artistic fields otherwise unavailable in such quality and quantity in their neighborhood or at area public schools, educators and community leaders said. 'Golden Opportunity to Learn'
''These kids have the golden opportunity to learn that playing the clarinet or violin can be as important and fun as playing basketball,'' said Arthur Richardson, an urban planner who is active in the South Bronx community. ''And they know that through education they can build a better way. They deserve much credit. After all, the crack dealers, with their Suzuki jeeps and gold medallions are only a few years older than them.''
From the classrooms and hallways of the school now come the sights and sounds of children singing, painting, playing instruments and performing ballet leaps, but it was only about four years ago that the school seemed destined to join the ranks of the area's numerous abandoned buildings.
Coinciding with the massive population shift from the South Bronx in the 1970's, St. Augustine's student body declined from 512 in 1974 to 170 in 1984.
And in the fall of 1984, the archdiocese informed the Rev. Robert Jeffers, the pastor of St. Augustine, that the school would be closed if it did not attract more students. The school's response, adopted the following fall, was the fine arts program, which is financed by private sources while the regular academic program is financed by the archdiocese and tuition payments.
The prescription has worked. Next fall, 350 students are to attend St. Augustine, the maximum number the school can accommodate (more space per child is now needed because of rehearsal requirements). 'A Thrilling Adventure'
''I was A-W-E-D, awed, by St. Augustine,'' said Sister Ann Veronica, the principal of St. Margaret Mary in the Bronx and head of an archdiocese team that recently visited the school to evaluate its progress. ''It's a thrilling adventure in education in the New York Archdiocese, and a unique cultural resource in the South Bronx.
''The school is in the poorest Congressional district in the United States,'' the 18th, she continued, ''and for many of the students it's probably all they have going for them.''
The school, which is commonly called SASA (the acronym for the St. Augustine School of the Arts), is for kindergarten through eighth-grade students, 98 percent of whom are black.
''I am one of the few Puerto Rican students in the school and that doesn't matter at all,'' said Angelique Colon, an eighth grader who plays the flute. ''We are one family. We can be different together, and we can sing together. No one is the king, and no one is the janitor.'' Teachers Are Musicians
The emphasis of the school's fine arts program is on music, and all of the music teachers in the program play professionally.
Except for those in kindergarten, all students study some combination of music, art and dance. Students in the fourth through eighth grades study two instruments, the piano and another of their choice, and those in the lower grades learn the recorder.
Every student is also required to take art classes and sing in a chorus. And even the students' physical education is an artistic endeavor: instead of traditional gym they study modern dance.
The purpose of most such schools of the arts is to produce professionals, but St. Augustine has a different goal.
''Our main aim is to turn out good people,'' said Tom Pilecki, the principal. ''Art enhances life, and we try to use the arts to enhance the character of our kids, to make them more interested and interesting learners, and, in general, to make them feel special.'' 'We Are the South Bronx'
The students' involvement with the arts has, in many cases, improved their self-esteem, socialization skills and academic performances, he said.
In fact, no one needs to tell the students how special their school is. In contrast to many of New York's inner-city schools, which are plagued by enormous student apathy and attendance problems, St. Augustine seems to be suffused with school spirit.
''There are a lot of people who think blacks can't do anything, people who only hear about killings,'' said Tanya Dickenson, an eighth grader. ''But they should see us play, and hear us sing and see what we know. The South Bronx is not only burned-out buildings. We are the South Bronx.''

001 is the first representation of ill.i Optics as a curated, design led brand. As a collection and striking campaign, it marries the carefully constructed eyewear with considered architectural lines as the perfect backdrop.
The campaign reflects the recurring ethos for ill.i that is always central to everything the brand touches : past, present and future. The futuristic landscape and product details contrast a very "now" aesthetic with nostalgic notes.
Shot by Darren McDonald, 001 is an extension of ill.i's founding story; an appreciation for the unique, surreal and timeless things. A tangible, memorable experience in a borderless and hyper-realized world.
The core desire of 001 as a movement is to disregard the fast and disposable, compelling you to stop, contemplate and consider.
The ill.i SS16 optical collection collection is luxurious in materials and unisex in design. Each of the 6 optical styles transcend time and place, with the power to make a statement that is still subtle enough to remain classic.
The optical collection is refined in its approach, with thinner shapes and delicate construction. Risk taking accents ensure these are not for being hidden behind books. 'LINEAR' relates to the central ethos of ill.i – considered design.
The optical range includes a limited edition leather frame which reflects the ill.i ethos of borrowing from the past, in this case the 1980s, to create the future with nostalgic and somewhat recognizable silhouettes reimagined.
ill.i Optics represents a new era of eyewear with its latest collection, LINEAR. Timeless design blending past, present and future. It breaks the mold by being at the forefront of innovation, without ever sacrificing authenticity or relevance.
Envisioned in LA, handmade in Italy and born from a life-long passion for experimental eyewear, the collection is luxurious in materials and unisex in design. Each of the 9 sunglasses transcend time and place, with the power to make a statement that is still subtle enough to remain classic.
Sunglasses brazenly bring bold attributes to traditional shapes. New technologies seamlessly blend the subtle and the striking. Matte acetates marry metallic titanium with distinct accents such as chestnut brown, gradient lenses. Rose gold mirrored styles are a restrained proclamation.
The sunglasses collection includes a limited edition leather frame which reflects the ill.i ethos of borrowing from the past, in this case the 1980s, to create the future with nostalgic and somewhat recognizable silhouettes reimagined.
The optical collection of five unique styles is a more refined approach to previous models with select shapes both thinner and skewed feminine in the delicate construction. Rose gold accents compliment this.
Throughout optical and sun ranges, new custom engineered titanium temples have fast become an ill.i signature mark. The use of titanium allows for a lightweight feel supported with robust application.
Progressive construction techniques makes all day use comfortable and extends the life on the glasses without any wear on the shape. Built-in springs compound with this innovation for a luxury sensibility.
ill.i Opticstoday launches it's third breakout eyewear collection at SILMO in Paris, continuing to push boundaries in both aesthetics and custom design.
Envisioned in LA, handmade in Italy and born from a life-long passion for experimental eyewear, the latest offerings of both sun and optical are luxurious in materials and unisex in design.
The collection brazenly represents the next chapter of ill.i by bringing bold fashion attributes to classic shapes. New technologies and a new age design fit somehow blend subtle yet standout seamlessly.
AW15 debuts seven new sun styles plus a limited edition leather frame.Overall, the collection strips back gradient lens techniques and focuses on modern color blocking as part of the brand progression.
The color palette has also evolved from predominantly neutral tones by introducing earth gradients, gold and jet black highlights. Electric purple has also been re-introduced as a statement pop.
Hero styles are true to the ethos of borrowing from the past to create the future with nostalgic and somewhat recognizable silhouettes reimagined.
For this project, Xu Zhen and ill.i undertook a three-staged artistic process resulting in a singular, limitededition series of eyeglasses to be released in limited quantities worldwide November 2015. This alchemical collaboration between two icons of their respective fields responds to a moment of unprecedented conversation among contemporary art, pop culture, fashion and commerce, in which creativity is the common denominator. "Everything needs creativity. Creativity gathers culture, business, and many other things into one entity," says Xu Zhen.
Ill.i announces a fresh collaboration with Hip Hop's greatest, Slick Rick. Rapper, storyteller, music pioneer and global icon Slick Rick's legendary style comes together with ill.i's futuristic, avant-garde approach to design as the first capsule collection in an ongoing series of artist collaborations.
Created in limited quantities in a palette of electric purple, gloss black and matte crystal gray, the ultra-sleek silhouette combines Slick Rick's authentic point of view with ill.i's signature style and the subtle luxury synonymous with the SS15 collection. Striped detailing on the frame represent the recognized brand mark.
The ill.i x Slick Rick collaboration draws inspiration from vintage silhouettes and classic Hip Hop aesthetics in a way that is both progressive and timeless, resulting in unparalleled style that brings together past, present and future.
"Music and fashion have always been parallel, and both are my true passions. Ill.i x Slick Rick represents our vision for the next level of fresh, fly and classic eyewear." – Slick Rick.

- Discord helps the group out. This isn't the first time he helped Stickman, Jewel, and the Mane Six, however. Nor is this the last.

I recently heard a historian giving an interview about the original Thanksgiving. She pointed out that what made the English colonists so thankful was the awful year that had come before. The Pilgrims hadn't meant to settle on a rocky coastline with poor soil and long, frigid winters. They'd been heading to Virginia but got blown off course and landed on Cape Cod in desperation. That first winter, they lost a huge chunk of their numbers to famine and illness. Native Americans in the area had also been decimated by a smallpox epidemic. If it weren't for assistance from Squanto and treaties with other members of the Wampanoag, the Pilgrims would have been no more than a footnote in the history books.

Gratitude List: Oranges, Etc
I used to post gratitude lists fairly regularly, along with other lists. That's supposed to be what blogs are for: thoughts too long for Facebook, but too short or too rough for more polished forums. I've been in one of my shy-about-blogging phases, so here's something to break the ice.
Great Mother, thank you for:
- Oranges
- Clean water
- My job
- Going home from my job
- Deborah, Eugenia, Kelly, Wandajune, and other friends
- Having $1.50 in change so I can buy a soda from the vending machine
- The guys I sit with in the company cafeteria
- The window next to my cubicle (I waited eight years for that!)
- Daily coincidences that show me the Universe is on my side
- Ball point pens
- Clean underwear
- Modern pharmaceuticals
- Good healthcare
- Barbara Helfgott Hyett's workshop
- Poet friends near and far
- Jellyfish Magazine
- Oddball Magazine
- The Queer Open Mic at Fazenda in Jamaica Plain
- The people coming to my poetry workshop this Thursday
- The Boston Dyke March
- Sweet, sweet sleep
- My comfy bed
Gratitude List: Fall Allergy Season Edition
• A wide social network
• Friends and family who know the me that exists beneath the facade of social media
• An emergency room just a few minutes away from my home that provides prompt, high-quality care
• A doctor's office that knows my history and will see me when I'm sick
• Health insurance that makes it possible for me to seek out care without breaking the bank
• Knowing that many other people in my part of the world are suffering from respitory ailments — that I'm not alone in my suffering
• The kind of job that won't fire me because I'm sick and can't come to work
• Zyrtec, Robitussin, Tessalon pearls, and Albuterol
• A partner who's willing and able to drive me to the doctor when I'm too sick to drive myself
There's more to be grateful for than this. My life is changing very rapidly right now, and the stress of those changes has no doubt contributed to my getting so sick. But for today at least, I'm going to focus on resting, healing, and getting better. And on all the positive supports in my life that make that possible.
Gratitude List
- Fuzzy wool socks for cold feet at night
- A 3:1 household ratio of blankets to humans
- Cooler weather means the memory foam in our bed doesn't give me night sweats anymore
- We finally paid off the bed
- A doctor who reminds me that the symptoms of my illness are not moral failings, that I don't have to suffer through them in order to be a productive member of society
- A job that allows me to work from home AND provides me with office space (now with new, improved window cube!)
- Listening to Sharon Salzberg's audiobook Lovingkindness while taking baths
- A partner who loves and accepts me in spite of my flaws
- A community of friends who love, accept, and support me in spite of my flaws
- It's finally frickin' Friday
- Getting two more hours of sleep last night after a solid week of insomnia.
In Gratitude to Those Who Come to the Garden
This month, the number of people following my blog topped 500. I'd like to express my gratitude to all of you — the people who visit, the people who follow, the people who take the time to comment, to click, and to share. Writing is about communication, not just self-expression — there's no point in doing it if it's not reaching anyone. Here's a Pinterest board I created just for you.
National Poetry Month in the Year of the Horse
It's national poetry month again. My website was briefly down because Gmail did such an amazing job of sorting my email for me, I never got the notices reminding me to renew the domain registration for Gardenofwords.com. That was a killer way to start off national poetry month.
I noticed the outage when I was pitching a website redesign to a poet whom I greatly admire. I'm fortunate to be able to pick and choose my clients in a way I wasn't always able to in the past. As a result, my very short client roster is full of interesting, creative women. This latest client would probably point out that I am an interesting, creative woman myself, to which I respond "pshaw." It's nice to have friends who say complimentary things about you. In the Po-Biz, that's how you get blurbs for the back of your book.
April has been surprisingly un-cruel in the past couple of days, especially given March, February, January, and December, all of whom I want to roll up into a big ball, flatten with a giant rolling pin, dry in the sun, and then fold into lots of sharp corners and stick up the posterior of this past winter. It's very easy to forget that things are exponentially better for me today than they were this time last month, and the month before. Just the other morning I forgot about it while packing my lunch. M. and I got into a lively discussion* about his tactical decision to forgo buying lettuce on Monday night rather than buying me non-organic lettuce which I might not eat. It wasn't about lettuce, of course. It was about my own severe anxiety at having less than $10 in my checking account the day before I got paid. And the very uncomfortable dynamic that develops when two people fall in love and move in together, and then one of them takes a hefty pay cut.
On the plus side, we worked it out, as we always do. I'm continually amazed at M's ability to handle situations that have baffled me for most of my life. Emotional intelligence comes in all kinds of packages — some of them former infantrymen. Also on the plus side, I'm steadily plugging back up the hill toward a full-time work schedule. Also also on the plus side, I took a walk yesterday afternoon and TOOK OFF MY COAT. And didn't put it back on once. Which just goes to show you anything is possible.
Spring is late this year, but it's here. The hills are still grey and brown with bare trees, but the moss has turned bright green and the grass won't be far behind. Snowdrops have been out for weeks now, lingering in the cool spring air. Crocuses are here, and may even be gone in another week. The daffodils in my back garden have been poking their little green heads up. Ralph chases the squirrels until well past 6:00 pm.
Poetry-wise, I'm doing less and more than I've done in years past. Whereas in past years I've adhered to a strict regimen of a poem-a-day, I find myself moving more fluidly now. I'm making inroads into new techniques for revision, attempts to cut away the dross and find surprising turns of phrase. A sort of Orb-style remix, but with random poems instead of sound clips.
The bout of illness and the 40th anniversary of my birth made me stop and think about what I'm doing with my life, and if it's what I want to be doing, and what I can do about all that. When I'm very ill, I will often decide that This One Big Change is what will fix all of my problems. Past experience has taught me that it usually just creates more instability and makes it harder to get back to a baseline. A cursory search of the Intartubes ("year of the horse" plus "horoscope" plus "2014" plus "water ox") gives me highly scientific** evidence that this is not the year for me to make any sudden changes. In the Year of the Horse, things gallop along. You might find yourself miles from where you started, only to discover you've gotten on the wrong horse. For a person born in the year of the water ox (1973), it's not a good year to be moving and changing. But it is a good year to send out hidden feelers under the earth, gathering information through the mycelium that binds us all together.
The seed inside unfurls with the longer days, reaching toward the light. I watch it, worry, pray it won't be killed in an early frost. April is cruel in a different way every year. I am curious to know its cruelty this year, in the year of the horse. Maybe there will be a kindness to its cruelty, as I slog and toil and trudge into something warmer, something sunny, something else.
*which our neighbor could hear through the walls, no doubt
** and by "scientific," I mean the opposite, of course
Cranky List / Gratitude List
Things that make me cranky:
- waking up feeling worse than when I went to bed
- trading one set of medication side effects for another
- feeling my body getting heavier and older
- expecting to be able to exercise the way I used to when I was 25 and at the peak of training
- days when the only thing I seem fit to do is putter around the house and take in a matinee
- Boston's schizophrenic spring weather
- focusing on my own needs and the ways they're not being met
- getting away from support systems that help me feel connected
- pollyanna-ish spiritual literature that tells me to just focus on the positive! and everything will be fine!
- focusing on the things that make me cranky, especially when they're things I can't control
Things that make me happy:
- posting cranky status updates on Facebook (and the one or two people who say they can identify)
- comparing the treatments available today to what people used to endure 50-60 years ago
- considering advances in genetic research that may make it easier for doctors to pinpoint which kinds of medication will be most effective for individuals with my illness
- friends and mentors who can say the sorts of things that snap me out of negative thinking and help me focus on what will work
- reconnecting with support systems that remind me I am part of beloved community
- focusing on how I can be of service instead of on what I can get — or what I think I SHOULD be getting
- remembering that work is a wonderful opportunity to be of service
- making moderate progress while conserving energy — sometimes this is better than exhausting myself by FIXING ALL THE THINGS
- identifying small, achievable tasks toward a larger goal — and checking them off a task list
- putting stickers next to completed items on my task lists
- remembering that all things pass — even the line in the Post Office on a Saturday afternoon
- moderate exercise
- intense exercise (in moderation)
- dancing at weddings
- professional massages
- hot tubs and steam rooms
- inexpensive (and free) self-care, like a spa day at home
- vanilla-scented bubble bath
- taking myself on an artist date
- reading 101 artist date ideas
- the unwinding feeling that comes with relaxation — in all kinds of ways, expected and unexpected. Sometimes in meditation, sometimes when I'm laying in a big bed all by myself, sometimes when I'm in a field of grass in warm weather, sometimes when I'm sitting with a cup of tea and looking at the trees as the sky fades from blue to darker blue.
- the first time in 2014 that I smell rain on unfrozen soil

My requests for you to be eligible are for you to visit my shop on etsy.

Ooh, I'm the first! OK, I love your banner and all your photographs. They really show off your jewelry well. The "bad" critique... not so much bad, but adding metric to your measurements would be useful, as would adding "international" as a tag, since you do ship internationally. Yes, I would love to receive your newsletter. (I'll email you my email address.)
- August 31, 2008 at 1:06 PM
- janetfaye said...
You have an excellent assortment of beautiful jewelry.
You also have very good prices.
I added you to my favorites.
I really cannot say anything is bad but I would prefer to see your beautiful jewelry in side by side frames instead of the long list.
I think it is easier to view side by side.
Thank you!

- Erika said...
1) I like your jewelry ... I like how it is unique and not your typical store bought boringness... my only critique would be stay away from that coppery colored stuff... but that might just be more of a preference ;-) I like the silver instead.
- September 1, 2008 at 1:55 PM
- ana carina said...
How generous!
Well I love this ring:
I love the colors and it's simplicity.
I think you should try to improve your photos, they're a little blurry.
Maybe take them outside, with better lighting!
my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com
- September 2, 2008 at 10:02 AM
- Inky Productions said...
Your colors choices are excellent and your designs are fresh. Snazzier photos- they're very clean, but I think the opening shot should have more pizazz in some cases.

- Sweet 'n Sassy Baby said...
You have beautiful jewelry! Great selection, variety and prices. The only criticism I could possibly give is that a few of the pics were a tiny but blurry. Love the pics on the calendar by the way.
- September 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
- Carapace said...
Wow, just seven commenters? Good odds so far!
I really like your wire wrap work,especially the herringbone earrings. You do a good job of highlighting the stones without covering them.
The Bad:
You have a lot of earrings. Four pages! That's a lot to look through for a browser. Maybe they could be further divided? Posts, hangers, color..I don't know. But I believe in the power of sections, I do.
And I agree about the photos. Maybe some tighter closeups of the earrings, especially. Or a picture of them with a reference object (dime or something)?
- September 3, 2008 at 7:00 PM
- Rainy said...
You have a really good variety of items. Your shop is really organized with the sections. For something to improve on, how about adding things to show the scale of your jewelry, such as taking a picture with a ruler for the 4th or 5th picture.
My email is my sn at gmail.
- September 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM
- AlisonWonderland said...
you've got a great variety in what you offer, but some of the pictures, especially of the earrings could be a bit sharper.
- September 5, 2008 at 2:41 PM
- BeadedTail said...
Very pretty earrings! I checked out your shop and one good thing is your incredible variety offered. You have something for everyone and I love the uniqueness of your pieces. I just learned wire wrapping so I'm always impressed to see how well others are able to do it!
One bad thing would be that some of your pictures are a little dark and aren't quite so sharp to see the detail. The macro setting on your camera might help with some of that. Also, some of the backgrounds are distracting from your beautiful jewerly.
You can convo me at Etsy if I'm lucky enough to win - my shop is BeadedTail!
- September 7, 2008 at 5:25 PM
- bamabelle said...
VERY well made, imaginative jewelry.
I would like to see it on a more natural, organic background, (or the appearance of one) like a big rusty piece of flat metal, or a weathered flat rock.etc. Even a piece of scrapbook paper that looks like a weathered rock !
- September 7, 2008 at 7:28 PM
- blueviolet said...
You have a huge variety of jewelry and you have plenty in each category: necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. I appreciate having a big choice and it gives me a better feel for your style. I would love to see more substantial earring styles. You have lots of intricate and involved dangling ones but not so many that make a big bold chunky statement without being all spread out in a dangling design. Also, perhaps the pics could be closer or show more detail or something.Thanks for the giveaway!
- September 8, 2008 at 8:14 AM
- Deborah said...
hello...congrats on your first giveaway! i love the range of your shop...i think it really speaks to a wide range of demographics.....something i think would help, would be to list/renew in a way that each line tells a story....so many of your pieces could be mixed and matched that maybe if you had them in groupings, like bracelet necklace and earrings that look good together, then on the next listing, maybe reverse the order and go with a different colorway...but same philosophy....maybe that too would increase multiple sales....
i too think some of your photos are dark...i try, but don't always accomplish, having the same tonal qualities in each photo {for the first listing photo} so it doesn't seem....dark, light, dark, dark, dark...you get the idea...or slightly pink, alittle grey, kinda blue....and this can be adjusted in the editing process. if you are taking pics indoors...make sure you use a true color lightbulb, or a "natural daylight" lamp...that will help a ton!
- September 9, 2008 at 9:48 AM
- Pamela Angus said...
You have a really pretty selection of jewellery - the garden party piece especially! It would be nice to see more of your earrings displayed hanging on something, a glass maybe to vary the look of the pictures (good for getting picked up for treasuries!!)
- September 9, 2008 at 10:41 AM
- Jewelry Rockstar said...
I love all your jewelry especially the wire wrapped pieces. That blue wrap around bracelet.
I think the name in your banner is a little blurry.
Overall, it's a nice shop.
- September 9, 2008 at 11:16 AM
- Susan Schrock said...
Hi - I love how you have a huge variety of jewelry pieces to pick from and that your items are not photographed all in the same way.
For improvement, some of the lighter colored pieces of jewelry could be photographed on a darker backdrop so they show up better.
- September 9, 2008 at 12:46 PM
- kim said...
I love all your earings!
The pictures do not seem that clear when you click to make bigger though.
- September 10, 2008 at 9:18 AM
I love the bright photos and your banner too. The earrings are beautiful.
Negatives are hard to find ;-).In some of the photos the beads are not even, but that's just me.
Also, the photos get blurry when enlarged.
- September 11, 2008 at 4:39 PM
I am very impressed with your talent. It shines through your beautiful designs! The only negative thing that comes to mind is the fact that some of your pictures may be a little dark.
- September 12, 2008 at 11:40 AM
- Leah said...
I really like copper, so I do think your pieces are lovely. I'd post a close up photo first in the wine glass pendants section. My pc screen is small sometimes I can't be bothered clicking something if it dosen't catch my eye right away.
