Okay, so the whole idea of proposing at a sporting event has become extremely cliche nowadays. But people continue to do it anyway.
On Thursday, the unoriginal gesture was executed once again, as this guy decided to pop the question at Fenway Park, with the help of the stadium's jumbotron.
As you can see, the guy gives his lady a little nudge, points toward the big screen, and then awkwardly digs into his pants pocket to recover a shiny engagement ring. No words are needed. Why? Well, everyone knows what he is trying to do here because it has been done time and time before.
Luckily, his lady said yes.

June News
June has been busy for me with new acceptances, contracts, cover reveals and releases. Add into the mix outdoor jugger and gardening and blogging gets reduced to one or two postings a month.
I'm happy to say that the e-book version of Tesseracts 20: Compostela is now available with the print version to follow in September (it contans my short story "Better" – I mentioned the pre-order last post) This one's a thrill for me, due in part to the fact that Spider Robinson is one of the editors. I grew up reading his books (Night of Power was my favourite as a teen but I'm not sure which I'd give top place now,) and he actually lived in Nova Scotia for a time, so I hold him in high esteem.
Another new release is in Gathering Storm Issue #3. "Counting Crows" is my second appearance in this beautiful venue (their format is formidable and their artwork breathtaking, like the cover artwork here.) I'm submitted something for issue #4, so fingers crossed.
My story "Wrigglers" will make a reprint appearance in Gehenna and Hinnom's Year's Best Body Horror 2017 Anthology . You can find the ToC announcement here.
And to top it off, I just receive an acceptance and contract for an all Canadian horror anthology in the works. More news on that later.
I have a couple more things brewing but I can't include them just yet. I'll share when I can
As crazy as it may sound, I have decided to do Camp Nanowrimo this July. This will be my first time participating as part of a group (our cabin) but it should help me stay focused. I skipped the last couple of Nanowrimos because I haven't felt all that motivated when it comes to novel writing (especially when the 20+ novels I already have completed could probably use another round of edits and then maybe a new shopping run.) But I've promising my hubby the one I have planned for camp for some time now, so it's time to buckle down and get started. I just have to get a little research in before July 1 and work my writing in around overtime and family day trips.
See you in July!
Catch-Up in June
A post has been a long time in coming (sorry), but I have been well and truly busy. I've been working at setting a blog up for my pseudonym as well as prepping a couple of between blitz submissions, juggling proofing and marketing requests and participating in the voting process for one of my writer's associations. It's also gardening season, jugger season and I've been spending a lot of time with my daughter lately. So yeah – I'm busy.
That being said, the last few weeks have been pleasantly rife with story acceptances, payments, cover reveals and ToC announcements – so I have to play catch-up on those (or, at least the ones I'm allowed to talk about now.)
Compostela – Tesseracts 20 – containing my sci-fi short story "Better" is now available for pre-order here . Tesseracts is one of my "writer's bucket list" achievements, so it's a big deal for me. I'm sharing pages with some pretty impressive people.
Clockwork Canada, the Exile Editions steampunk anthology containing my short story "The Curlicue Seahorse" is on the ballot for the 2017 Aurora Awards, in the category of Best Related Work.
I have a new free read available too. My flash fiction, Pure Mime, has been published by Body Parts Magazine.
And you can also find me listed on two ToC announcements. The first is from Digital Fiction Publishing. My short story "Octavia" will be included in their all-female writer horror reprint anthology, "Killing It Softly 2" .
The second can be found on the blog for Mackenzie Publishing . Their "Two Eyes Open" horror anthology will include my period horror short, "Soul Cakes." I've shared the lovely and intriguing cover above.
I'll have more announcements coming soon as my last submission blitz proved to be quite successful. And I just finished a horror short for a themed anthology invite that I can't discuss just yet. We'll see how that goes.
I hope everybody's year has been as exciting as mine has been so far. Now its off to work on some edits…
Spring Blitz 2017 – Hanging in There
I completed my 20th submission for April today, despite not keeping up with regular blitz blog posts. I blame mundane tasks that have gotten in the way, like helping with homework, chasing chickens (see the dastardly Pecan here to the left) and doing my taxes, and not so mundane tasks like being eyeball deep in Chuck Wendig's Zeroes (which I hope to review on Monday.) I've been testing new venue waters too which has meant investing more time to broaden my call searches.
I've been waiting on a couple of new releases expected shortly. Forest Seclusion (adult content warning) is now available here, and there will be more to follow fairly soon.
I've also received a new acceptance – a year and four days in the making. I was on the brink of retracting that submission when the acceptance came through, but I was pleased to see the wait was worth it. I try to give a submission plenty of time before retracting, but I usually figure a year is enough. Sometimes I do let them sit longer though, if I'm not anxious to resubmit. At the same time I received a quick confirmation that another submission had made it through phase one of a three phase review process. Fingers crossed. 🙂
And, or course, this month isn't without its rejections – 5 so far, with two of the submissions clearing the year long mark. It only pays to be patient some of the time.
I may not post again until Monday. I have a short story I hope to finish and then it's back to working on taxes.
But at least gardening's not that far off … right?
Let's Blitz Again – October 2016 #9
Yesterday's submission, a query to an agent, took longer than I had anticipated so I didn't get around to blogging, but today's is done with time to spare. It's the second time out for this newer story, rejected once only by a pro-rate venue. A cheeky tale with a chilling ending, I'm quite fond of it – which often is a mark of doom for my stories because I have quirky, eclectic tastes, so the ones I don't like as much often fare better. If I find them a little dry or ordinary, they tend to find a home quite quickly.
I'm working on a story, "Smiles All Around," I hope to have finished by the end of the week. I'm writing it for a specific call. It is flowing nicely and ties in some of my work experiences. I also managed to squeeze in a bit of gardening, while the nice weather lasts. Frost will clear things out soon enough.
In the meantime, things keep growing and I keep picking.
Let's Blitz Again – October 2016
After a lengthy hiatus thanks to an insanely busy post-vacation summer, I'm back to blogging my usual October submission blitz. My first submission was a query for a horror-themed charity anthology. I've already received a positive response. Today was a submission for a contemporary horror anthology.
I'm still dealing with my busy time at work and harvesting my garden, as well as fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween family activities, so I'll be keeping my posts short. That and I've been wading through galleys for soon to be released anthologies. One is now available for pre-order, Killing It Softly, which contains a reprint of my horror story "Orbs".
There are still many submissions ahead of me, so I'll be blogging again soon. Enjoy the warm fall weather.
Snips and Stings
I've been on a bit of a blog hiatus thanks to a series of events. Prepping for summer vacations has kept me busy and we're in full-fledged gardening season (my garden looks lovely so far), which also takes me away from my computer. Add to that jugger and some heavier than normal editing demands and making time to blog is not all that easy. I've also been waiting on some ToC information to share that has yet to arrive. But I've decided I've delayed long enough for that.
So on Sunday, for a couple of reasons, jugger didn't happen (we played in light rain on Thursday), and gardening was a no go. My daughter's class trip has come and gone, and while I have some edits to check over and some submissions I hope to make today, I have a few moments to spare.
I had mentioned about my efforts to network, and while my efforts continue, I've found at least one of the forums discouraging. I see people trying to contribute in a rather brash or blunt way(some of whom are social filter-challenged), other people taking offense, some harsh remarks (downright vicious at times) and some apologies, a little joking around, some lauding of new successes with a round of congratulations, arguing over rules and regulations, and writers who are also editors complaining about submissions they receive, but very little of anything productive or helpful. And I'm physically not in close proximity to the majority of the people on the forum, so any discussions of gatherings or meet-ups exclude me because of the distance involved. I feel very much like an outsider because of this and because I am new there.
I was hoping I might see more discussions of calls for submissions, tips and suggestions, problems and advice, encouraging talk and interesting stories – there are some, but I'd have to say more negative or neutral posts so far, a few of them accompanied by a sense of superiority from some writer who thinks he's better than another. After observing several threads, I'm loathe to comment for fear of being pounced upon and attacked, or at least drawing a passive-aggressive snide remark or two. Even quite innocent comments seem to be vulnerable. The introvert in me is telling me to start avoiding the forum because it is putting me off writing, rather than motivating me.
As much as I was looking forward to participating and broadening my contacts and knowledge, it's pretty pointless if it deters me from writing. So I might give it a little more time, in hope things improve, but if not I'm going to go back to just doing things on my own again. Maybe that's how it's meant to be.
I think that's why I like gardening. The only things there that stings are the fire ants.
April Blitz 2016: Into the Homestretch (#21-23)
Another shot at a pro-rate venue and a couple of new venues leaves me with only a week left to go in my blitz. I'm scurrying to hunt out new submission calls as I get to the last of my unsubmitted stories. A busy weekend hasn't left me with much time: gardening (which will hopefully grow as nicely as last year's), a well-needed shopping trip, a teenage sleepover, a weekend fandom event and tax time have me somewhat occupied this weekend – and next week isn't any less busy. I'm looking forward to May, just so I can have a brief breather.
That's all I have the time for — more later.
After a Long Pause
This year involved a lengthy summer hiatus from blogging for multiple reasons. Summer is always busy for me. The kids are home from school. I work overtime at my day job. Some of my focus is on gardening. This year also included double weekly doses of jugger, a trip to France with my daughter, and new puppy. All of these things proved to be time sucks, albeit positive ones. In summer, the things at the bottom of my priority list get bumped off by the things at the top and because I want to keep writing my fiction, blogging is often one of the things that goes.
And off it went
But I've been wanting/meaning to set aside some time to announce some of the good things that have happened over the last few months. I received an acceptance for another pro-rate (per HWA standards but not those of the SFWA) venue, this time for my first stab at steampunk. You can find out more about it here: https://www.blackgate.com/2015/07/30/see-the-table-of-contents-for-clockwork-canada-steampunk-fiction-edited-by-dominik-parisien/
This spring/summer has also been one of multiple releases including short stories in the anthologies Strangely Funny 2 ½ (Dead to Write) and My Favourite Apocalypse (Gaia's Gift) and some non-fiction pieces in the Horror Addicts Guide to Life. I have other acceptances brewing for release I the near future, including a YA cyberpunk/fairy tale mash up, but those announcements will come later.
No news on the novel front. My series remain in limbo and no new acceptances for the yet-to-be-published, but I'm still writing and still hopeful. I have a test-reader working away at some of them, so we'll see where that goes.
Until then, I hope to get back on the blogging track when my overtime is up, likely in time for my submission blitz in October.
Until then – if you need me, you may want to hunt me out in the jungle that is my garden this year. You'll like find me digging up something for supper, pickling or freezing.
Turnip anyone?
Blitz Follow-up
I would happily take a handful of rejections over hayfever any day. Unfortunately, I'm afflicted by both right now. I haven't received very many rejections yet, mostly from pro-rate or SF venues, and just the one acceptance as of yet, so it's still a matter of waiting. I was a little disappointed that the "maybe" that had come back turned into a "no," but at least they described my story as "high quality."
As for the hayfever, that has proven to be a severe annoyance this year. I've only had to endure mild symptoms it the past but this year I swear these allergies are seriously out to get me. If the lack of sleep or oxygen deprivation hasn't done me in before the end of the weekend, then I might survive gardening this year even if it means suffering to see it through.
A Current Endeavor – Quiet
I haven't posted in quite some time, but that's in part because I went on vacation for two weeks and decide to make it a true vacation in that I stopped any extraneous activities that felt like work to me – even regular posts on social media.
Blogging is definitely work. Like many writers I'm an introvert and aside from my stories, I'm not inclined to communicate. A relaxing day for me is writing, artwork, gardening, playing a few computer games or puzzles, reading or floating happily in the water at some beach. Note that these are all solitary activities. I like doing many of these activities side-by-side with my friends or family, but I don't engage easily, sometimes to my husband's irritation who I know expects more sharing. That is what a relationship is supposed to be about after all, but that's just not me.
Even fun social activities, like parties, are uncomfortable for me. I used to enjoy them, but I don't relate to old friends anymore. Many of them don't have kids and certainly not autistic ones. Most of them don't understand my obsession with writing. Most of them have more to their lives than work, family and writing. I end up talking about writing to the odd person who is interested, or maybe gardening to a few other hobby gardeners, but that's about it. Otherwise I feel very much out of place at social gatherings. The typical extrovert just doesn't get me.
I like the quiet…no, make that, I love the quiet, and after going offline, and tuning out, it's difficult and even jarring to force myself to tune back in. I oftentimes wonder if it's worth it, especially when considering I'm happier and less stressed if I just let things be, embracing who I am and enjoying that peace of mind. I don't have a large following on my blog. I don't receive much in the way of communication from folks who read my work. The effort necessary in order to reach out to people seems an awful lot for the size of the return.
But I have made commitments to people and as much as I prefer the quiet, I have to make the effort. I always try to make good on my promises, especially when someone has invested time, energy and/or money in me. So I'm jumping back into social media and I'll be posting again.
BTW – I'm working on Chapter 16 of Endeavor and I received an acceptance for a fifth short story as the result of my submission blitz. My goal was 6, but I still have some pending a response, so I'll keep my fingers-crossed that I'll receive at least one more. I'm planning a second blitz in October.

Child Therapy Specialists LLC
Play Therapists at Wichita Counseling And Coaching Center
Wichita Counseling and Coaching Center is also the home of Child Therapy Specialists LLC.

Children are commonly seen in therapy for issues like:
- Anxiety / Separation Anxiety
- Grief / Coping with Death or Loss
- Emotional Trauma / Post Traumatiic Stress / Recovery from abuse, neglect, or abandonment
- Family Changes / Divorce
- Behavior problems such as oppositional behavior, defiance, aggressiveness, and excessive anger.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
- Depression
- Relationships / Developing skills and abilities needed for healthier relationships
We have a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and two other therapists who are well trained for psychotherapy with children as young as one year old. We have play therapy rooms and offices appropriate for children at our West office (520 S. Holland) and at one of our East offices (250 N. Rock Road).

Protecting Property StructureHi Gang,OK... I think I have a duesy here, and would love any ideas & feedback offered.I have an 82 y.o. client who's come to me to refinance her existing reverse mortgage (way overdue... an old FHA variable at 250 bips higher than current FRMs...) Her Edward Jones rep sent her to me because she's got over 80% of her net worth tied up in her real estate equity, and he was worried about her cashflow management.She's never been married, no kids, no family she wants to name as heirs/beneficiaries. She's got a will, but keeps her distribution preferences private (stay with me... there's a reason for all this background.)She's sharp as a tack, and stubborn as a mule... hardly even any gray on her head (and zero vanity.) She's a self-pronounced (and frequently pronounced) 'democratic liberal' yet she is proud of the fact that she's been described in a book-jacket blurb as "not a conservative, but a CONSERVOR." (Stay with me... there's a reason for all this background.)Her home is a classic 2-story 1906 Craftsman, built like a tank (the floors don't even creek when *I* walk across them,) and in perfect character sitting on a rise over the beach in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in West Seattle. The 8-foot leaded-glass windows have a breathtaking view across the bay with a direct view of the Seattle downtown skyline from Ballard down to the shipping yards. It is an old... but truly gorgeous home.So HERE is the crux of the issue;A) She wants to legally "Conserve" the home for as long as it can structurally stand (and as it is built, that will be for long, long beyond her passing... and she is very aware of this,)B) She wants to get this sorted out & guaranteed now... the earlier the better,C) She does NOT want to leave it up to anybody's decisions after her passing,D) She wants to not simply "give it away" but rather to obtain some compensatory benefits while she survives.I thought of her possibility to sell conditional on the granting of life estate, but that would trigger the DOS clause in her reverse mortgage (and wouldn't conserve the property structure.)I thought of the possibility of a CRT... but that would dissolve & distribute at her passing, which would drop the ongoing protection of her home "in state" as she desires.Then I thought of using a standard land trust whereby the Trustee is instructed to keep the home in state as long as it meets certain defined safety & structural standards. This is fully acceptable by the reverse lenders for estate planning purposes, so no danger of triggering the DOS claus.She could then select a younger co-beneficiary to the trust for asset-succession purposes. The reverse still comes due within 12 months of her vacating, regardless, so any co-ben that wants to keep the trust corpus intact would have to refinance at that point anyway. At their mutual co-beneficiary agreement, she could receive financial benefits however they design them from this co-beneficiary... perhaps cashflow supplementation while she remains in the home... perhaps supplemental support should she require a nursing home... and ultimately some payout to her estate at her ultimate passing. The trust would then survive her, since her co-ben would remain in place per the agreements. Further, the trustee could assure that the property be historically maintained as she desires.I'm unsure what the statutory limit is on WA state trusts... but it would almost certainly be longer than the likely structural lifetime remaining in the home.Of course... IANAL, so this would ultimately go to the gray suits should the idea have merit.Feedback? Additional creative solutions?Thanks all!Dave DonhoffStrategic Equity & Leverage Planner

|The History
In mid-July 2002, something miraculous happened. Soul sisters Janine and Annick both ovulated and were impreginated within 2 days of each other. While they vacationed in Canada, their eggs busily implanted into the lining of their uteri. Nana Gillot knew before either sister that her daughters would be successful this month, for while driving through the Ontario woods, she saw a cloud formation that looked like an angel-teddy bear. Was this a sign from the lord above?! Obviously, the only answer is Yes!
Below photo-quality images of fetuses were found online. They're not of my baby!
November 18
On November 22, I went in for my "big" ultrasound to see who was causing that pesky kicking from inside my womb. The baby's body parts and organs were well-formed and correctly-sized, and it appears to be a girl. At first she wasn't too active, but after being poked with the ultrasound wand for 20 minutes, her heart rate went up to 146 and she was wiggling all around.
As for momma and daddy, we are very pleased with the good results and will start bonding with the fetus toute suite. Nels now believes that there is something in there and that I have an excuse for that bulge I'm developing. As for the eating thing, it's going very well now that food aversions have been gone for about a month. I don't have any particular cravings except for sweet foods in general. But that isn't really a new development...
December 2
The baby, from now on known as "Gisele", weighs almost a pound and is about 11 inches long. Her inner ears are developed and she can now hear the outside world, which means mommy should give those power tools a rest. The eyebrows and eyelids are now fully developed and the fingernails reach the ends of her fingers. She's very active after I eat something; especially around lunchtime. You can easily feel and see the movement from the outside now. Nels has felt her once (he's not very patient), and was quite surprised.
My tummy is growing by leaps and bounds, and my belly button is noticeably more shallow than before. At some point it will pop out. Ewwww. No particular food cravings to report. I've been very good about staying away from junk food, and green vegetables are back on my desireable list. I'm in the middle of the second trimester, known as the "honeymoon" time of pregnancy. I'm not tired anymore, and don't have any weird aches and pains yet.
But the real question is, how is Nana Gillot handling the fact that both her daughters are preggo with what appears to be healthy girls? Is she calling every day to see how her daughters are faring? Yes! Is she falling into a pink downward spiral of frenzied dress-buying? Dear lord, yes! Will she pull through the experience with sanity and savings intact? We hope so!
December 23
Tis the holiday season and Gisele seems to have gotten into the spirit by becoming more active. It could be all the extra sugar that seems to go along with Christmas, though. She should be about 1.5 pounds and about 12.5" long. Her hands are becoming more sensitive and dexterous, and she can feel her surroundings. Her optic nerve is more developed, and if a light is shined onto my tummy she'll turn her head towards it.
On the whole, I'm feeling pretty normal these days. I am beginning to feel a bit like a house, though, and I'm not enjoying the extra weight in my face. But I can still bend down just fine. A couple of days ago when I was pressed up against the back of Nels in bed (for warmth!), he felt Gisele kicking him in his rump. It was more endearing than it sounds.
January 13
The start of the new year has brought me into the third trimester. By my calculation, as of today, I have 12 weeks until Gisele's April 7th due date. But even if she were born now, she would have a very good chance of surviving. This week, the baby should be about 2.5 pounds and about 14.5" long. Some experts believe that this is the time when babies start dreaming. They also begin to get the hiccups, which feels like a regular pulse in my tummy. She moves around a lot, but since it's so cramped in there she does a lot of turning and repositioning, which is very visible from the outside of my belly and makes me feel a little nauseated.
The above picture is of the stroller my parents bought for us. It's in it's carriage position now, but the handle reverses and the seat moves upright for later on. I added the row of pom poms on the canopy. Isn't it precious!? Nels said that it's a good thing the baby's a girl, but I think it would work for a boy, too. The picture of Annick was taken at about the same stage as mine was. George likes to talk to her tummy and feel the baby move. He's much more patient than Mike, belive it or not. Annick and I are both experiencing lots of tummy growth nowadays. I'm just waiting for the "special" treatment owed to pregnant ladies. I parked in an expectant mother parking space the other day (apparently pregnancy is akin to a handicap). An acquaintence affectionately called me "fatty" recently. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to this special treatment, come to think of it.
January 27
In January, Nels and I started our first baby-related class. It was entitled, "Getting Ready for Baby" and went over basic stuff like how to bathe a baby and how to take their shirts off. The second part of the class was taught by a pediatrition who giggled whenever he talked about taking babies' temperatures rectally. He said that in the U.S. parents like to take temperatures under the arms or in the ears, but that in Europe "everything happens at the other end of the baby". Nels dozed off for part of the class, but remained alert for the breastfeeding video. We also learned to never shake a baby, no matter how tempted you may be.
The baby should be nearing 3 pounds and is about 10" crown to rump, 17" from head to toe. She can open and close her eyes and could cry if she were outside of the womb. She's still wiggling around a lot; especially if I'm cranking out adrenelin while playing Everquest on the computer. My tummy is becoming a force of nature. I've included a rarely-seen close-up of my bare tummy. Because I don't wear bikinis, it's a special treat to see this view. I have a noticeable dark line called a linea negra bisecting my belly. It is even trying to overtake my belly button. But it will fade after the birth. The last picture is of two of our three mice. The spotted one is "Greta", and the white one is "Mousey".
February 10
We recently completed 10 hours of childbirth classes. I was surprised at how much Nels had retained. At the end of the last class, we played a jeopardy-type game and Nels had his chance to shine. He knew which phase of labor a woman is in by how much she has dilated (information I can't keep in my head) and he knew that when the nurse anounces that a woman is 10 cm dilated, she shouldn't automatically push; the doctor is the one who tells her to do so. He was also attentive in helping me with breathing exercises. All in all, he's shaping up to be a super labor coach!
March 3
The baby nows weighs about 5 lbs and she's working on putting on a nice layer of fat (mommy's trying to help her out with that). Her hearing is almost fully developed and my baby books are encouraging me to talk to her now, no matter how silly it feels. My uterus is about 1000 times it's original size! Although it's very cramped in there, I still feel movement often (a few squirmy sessions an hour). I had a cold last week, and every time I coughed, the baby shifted. Poor thing.
A week ago, my family, Nicole, and Mrs. Phillips threw me a baby shower at good ol' 5811 Blacksmith. I was quite the extravaganza, with a spread that included almond cake, pasta salad, sopas and beans, fruit salad, chocolate cake, and 2 kinds of punch! There were games, of course, and present-opening. Gisele will be a very well-dressed baby with lots of stuffed animal friends. The picture above is of Stimpy surrounded by baby clothes that I've washed.
My ankles have been swollen for a while now, but this weekend I noticed that my feet have become huge, too. As some of you may know, my feet have been my pride and joy since I was a little girl. They were well-shaped and cute, when I was not, so it's sort of symbolic that they've given in to the pregnancy monster at last. But my larva-like body will be worth it in the end, of course.
March 17
The baby is putting on lots of weight these days, as is her mommy. The scale is creeping dangerously close to 180, putting me at a weight gain of about 40 pounds so far. The doctor says that much of the recent weight is the water I'm retaining. My feet have huge humps of water on their tops that are just begging to be pricked with a needle. I wonder what would happen... Gisele may weigh somewhere between 5-7 pounds now, but she could weigh more. Annick's doctor is estimating her baby to be about 8 pounds. Let's hope she goes within the week!
The above left picture is of the diaper changing area we've set up in the corner of the bathroom (Click to enlarge the photo). It will be handy to have it in there when it comes time to rinse the poopy diapers in the toilet. Speaking of diapers, I've been a busy mommy-to-be lately, sewing homemade diapers! Pictured above are 3 that I've made. They are velour on the outside and inside lining, but the soaker pad inside is made of 3 layers of hemp fleece. I have plenty of "normal" cloth diapers, too. All in all, we're pretty set up for the baby now. We still need to pack our hospital bag, though, and my mom tells me to do it every day. For some reason, that's her biggest concern right now. Well, that and the U.S. suffering retaliation by terrorists for Bush's war.

It seems to me that somehow, in a world where we can instantly connect with those around us, we are more disconnected than ever. I can easily spend a day interacting only with my husband, children and faceless friends on social media. I have in my home not one but three books written specifically for moms on friendship. The one I'm reading right now, Mothers of the Village: Why All Moms Need the Support of a Motherhood Community and How to Find It For Yourself by C. J. Schneider, has had me nodding along with the author's experience of motherhood and community.
In the first chapter, C.J. shares her story and why she came to write Mothers of the Village:
"It took a third baby in a new city to help me clearly see that a support network is not just a luxury but a vital necessity and solid answer to many problems modern parents face. According to the World Health Organization "[a lack of] social support is a relatively potent risk factor for postpartum depression." A lack of social support is also a risk factor for addiction, mental health problems, poor health, slower rehabilitation, and many other problems. This is not just true for moms—social support is an irreplaceable existential need everyone has. And there are time when we feel this truth more desperately, times when we are more vulnerable to the effects of loneliness. This was the case for me when I became pregnant with my third baby."
It's hard to be a mom in today's world. Many of us live far away from our families, having left to pursue university, jobs, or spouses. I am envious of my friends who have family support close by. Yet another common problem is the judgement we face as parents from family, friends and society. I often find social media depressing, because there are so many articles slamming parents or holding up a parent as an "example" and warning to other parents. It's no wonder, then, that so many of us feel disconnected. Alone. And afraid to reach out.
Mothers of the Village is a refreshing breath of air in the midst of that. C.J. writes a dense, well-researched book about why we need each other—why mom friendships are worth the risk. She talks openly about the anger and guilt many moms feel and how hard it is to be a mom. She talks about the lack of support moms today face, and mentions other cultures where that's different. And she talks about attachment villages and how we as moms can find and build these for ourselves.
C.J. uses examples both from her own life, other cultures and from nature to show us a better way to share motherhood with those around us. One of my favourite chapters was "Embrace Diversity," in which C.J. addresses the "mommy wars." She talks about a good friends of hers who is very different from her—and how that's great. Later, she talks about her mother's "micro morality," or the values that help her develop her skills and abilities. She then shares her own very different micro morality and some of the ways that she and her mother have clashed over the years:
"My mom didn't think I was seeking a peaceful life, because I don't feel peace in the same way that she feels peace. As we have both made our way to this understanding, we have been able to deepen our respect and appreciation for each other. Major conflicts can arise when people mistakenly think that their micro morality is or should be the same as everyone else's micro morality."
Mothers of the Village is a must-read book for the modern mom. I'm sure many moms will, like me, be nodding along when C.J. describes the problems we face as moms today. The four chapters of Part 1 left me feeling depressed about motherhood, and I'm so glad C.J. doesn't leave us there. Most of the book is dedicated to Part 2—ways of solving this disconnect and finding a motherhood community. C.J's advice is practical, well-researched and encouraging.
C.J. Schneider lives in Alberta, Canada (in my hometown!), with her husband and three children. She has explored and worked in Asia, Europe and Africa.

Should the existence of evil call into question the belief that there is a God?Should the existence of evil call into question the belief that there is a God?
- print Print
- list Cite
The term "evil" is an adjective created by humans to describe abhorrent and despicable acts. Abhorrent and despicable acts are a product of bad upbringing, mental illness, and sometimes even dysfunctional parenting. Hence, there is a lot of HUMAN and not SPIRUTUAL background to what some call "evil". "Evilness" then is a problem that has a very human solution. Therefore, no. The existence of "evil" is not a correlation to the possible existence of an entity called "God".
If such an entity existed you would have to futher expand your question to "why is it letting evil take place?" For that, you will get a myriad of different (and often nonsensical) answers.
What I do believe is that the existence of evil has more physical and psychological causes than anyone would care to admit, and that with proper psychiatric care, good nurturing, and less nonsense we can raise individuals that will grow up to be kind, generous, non-violent, and perhaps even "normal".
I truly appreciate the rational nature of this discussion. From a Christian perspective one might agree that God does not create evil, but even though evil (or wrong doing) exists because of man's freedom of choice, God will still accomplish his will. Evil or the absence of light or goodness is a different philosophy, but it does not conflict with the Christian perspective. Evil exists, but different cultures-different societies view evil differently. For example: in American culture marriage to and intercourse with a 12 year old girl is socially unacceptable. However, in other countries being a child bride is the norm and even respected.
Finally, evil does exist, and while some of its existence might be cured by love, medicine, or counseling, some broken things cannot be fixed.
This is, of course, a matter of opinion. However, in my opinion, the existence of evil should not call into question a belief in God.
Let us assume that God wants us to be good and wants good things to happen to us (I know that this is a big assumption, but it is already assumed in your question). What does it mean to be good? To me, it means that we have a choice between good and evil and we choose good. If there were no evil in the world, the choice of good would be meaningless just as winning means nothing if there is no way to lose.
So, if God wants people to be good, there must be the possibility of something other than good so that the choice that people make is a real choice.
What is the origin of evil? If the origin is the devil, then the existence of the devil does not disprove the existence of God. If the origin of evil is humanity, then the existence of humanity does not disprove the existence of God. I think the fact that evil exists is proof that God gave humans free will, not a way to try to argue against God's existence.
satan the devil is the origin of evil. he has questioned Gods authority and that we can govern ourselves. yet we see the conditions of the world going from bad to worse so this should be proof to us that he is the father of the lie.
Evil is nothing in itself it is only the absence of good. It has no identity on its own. As darkness is nothing but only the absence of light.
Evil is not created at all by God but it is only the absence of good.
Islam and concept of Evil
Let us remind the reader that Islam defines evil only as a shadow created by the lack of light. It is not a positive existence in itself. We can imagine a source of light (a lamp or the sun), but we cannot imagine any object as a source of darkness. The only way in which an object becomes a source of darkness is through its ability to obstruct light. Likewise, it is only the absence of goodness that constitutes evil. The grades of evil are only determined by the opacity of the obstructing medium.

After searching high and low for a good school for my 1 1/2 year old i came across Montessori Ivy league. I have nothing but great things to say about this school, the amount of dedication and love that is given can not be said in words. My son looks forward to going to school everyday, which is a big deal. Not to mention that he has advanced tremendously, the teachers take the time to guide them and what i really like is that each child is treated as individuals. I cannot imagine my boy anywhere else! Kudos to an amazing Director and team! This will be his second year and i look forward to many more!!Peggy Farfan,
Having to have to relocate every few years or so due to my profession always makes me anxious....one of my major concerns now that I have children is the quality of education...having found Montessori Ivy League has been more than I expected….my daughter is not just a student but is cared for and taught from teachers who embody passion for what they do....I trusted without a doubt....the teachings pour into her home life....I am beyond impressed with the quality of education taught....it does take a village to raise a family and I am proud to say that your school has been a part of that family….I am a firm believer that it starts from the top and you are that top Ms Salma...you as a leader have made it obvious and set a tone with standards to your employees...they are professional...passionate and so caring towards these children.....from the bottom of our hearts I thank you for teaching my daughter a foundation of loving to learn!!!!!!
Sincerely and with love,The Stuckey Family!!,
I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful experience it has been for my son going to this school. The staff is extremely caring and professional. My son who is 15 months has learned so much in only 2 months of attending here.
Ms. Salma, the Directress, addresses all questions and concerns with sincere care and very promptly! She offers classes for the parents as well so that we can all be in on the same page with our children...we can be in sync with what the children learn at school and then follow through at home.
The school is also extremely maintained and clean. I visited other day care and pre-schools where the children were not cleaned up after, their noses were running and etc. (I practically ran out of those places!) You can be sure they keep everything very sanitary.
They also offer a hot lunch program with the most delicious meal choices. My son eats a better lunch than I do! That's just icing on the cake!
What I love most about this school is that my son can learn and excel in an environment that is "out of the box"...where he can follow a curriculum, but at his own pace. It's structured but lacks the rigidness of traditional schools...the school caters to the way a child "naturally" learns and I wouldn't put my child in any other school.
Diane B. ,
This is our first experience being part of a Montessori school and this school has an excellent learning environment. The staff members are always warm and friendly - they really make you feel welcome each and very morning when your child walks in the door. The school is also very clean and everything in the classrooms are so organized. My daughter has really been learning alot there and each week they send home what she did that week and you are truly impressed as you can tell they are spending quality time with her in mastering different tasks whether it be writing skills, counting and so many other things. I love this school because it truly is a very nurturing environment for children both from an educational standpoint as well as social development.
Taneka L. ,
Montessori (Ivy League) has provided our child with a rich diversified learning experience that is able to rival any other system. Our daughter has exceled in social graces, language skills, phonics, reading, science, math, arts, and general knowledge since she started attending just under a year ago. She is excited about school and learning and we can tell that she is flourishing in a caring environment with wonderful teachers and administrators.
Hope it can help others to find the light.
Sincerely,Kareen and Gawain Mundy,
Great, knowledgeable, and caring teachers and staff. Since starting at this school (Montessori Ivy League) our son's vocabulary has increased drastically and his social skills have also improved. He loves coming here - he gets excited when we tell him he has school in the morning! Also very organized and they keep the parents involved in the Montessori teaching process.

My husband and I extremely recommend this school, has a very relaxing environment, the teachers are very well prepared, our daughter is learning a lot and at her very early age has mastered things that average kids don't yet.
They love the children there, treat them with love and patience and keep me updated on everything that my baby does, is always clean and has a very welcoming environment too.
I simply love it.Sophia S. ,
I believe in "it takes a village to raise a family" and I am blessed to have Montessori Ivy League part of my village. Not only has my soon to be two year shown an immense amount of interest in learning but has also practiced the lifeskills at home that are taught. I feel that she is not just a student but also a part of a family. The feedback and open communication shows the true interest in my child to grow as a whole person. I feel that we are partners in my child's growth. I would recommend to anyone.
Charlene S.,
I am extremely happy with the choice we made to put our son in Montessori Ivy League. My husband's other children have all attended Montessori schools and we knew our son would too, but then cam e the matter of which one. As soon I spoke with Ms. Salma the director of the school, I knew this was the right choice. My son started classes in October when the school opened, and we have not been disappointed. The staff and teachers are all amazing and very welcoming. Everyone knows my sons name and it is a very loving environment as well as an excellent learning environment.

A Child Protection Code of Ethics intended to uphold and promote the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct among journalists in relation to their reportage on children, has been launched in Accra.
The 16-page document on the theme, "Making the Worth of Children Matter Through Reporting", touches on issues of protecting the privacy and dignity of the child, participation and consent, responsibility of journalists towards society for the interest of children, and placement of images, videos, and messages in news reporting.
Developed by Child Rights International, a non-governmental organisation, the National Media Commission (NMC) and the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), with funding from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the document is also meant to ensure that the ethics adopted by journalists in reporting on children are updated to suit their best interest, instead of damaging their image.
Respect children's rights
Speaking at the launch in Accra, the Chief Executive Officer of Child Rights International, Mr Bright Appiah, said the decision to develop the code of ethics was taken after it observed the trend of reporting on children in Ghana, and the major damage it could have on the children.
He said journalists formed important stakeholders in the development of children, and it was therefore important for them to ensure that the dignity of children was respected, protected and promoted as reflected in the journalism code of ethics.
Additionally, he said, since reporting on children took many dimensions, journalists must have a good understanding of the issues that confronted children, and exercise extreme caution when reporting on them.
Code relies on editors
Mr Appiah explained that the focus of adopting the code of ethics was not centred only on reporters, but editors as well, since they played key roles in the publishing of stories.
He cited various sections of the GJA code of ethics, Articles of the Children's Act 560, the Juvenile Justice Act 653 and the Child and Family Welfare Policy guiding principles, that emphasised the need to report child-related issues in a manner that guaranteed the safety of children in Ghana, and called on journalists to properly examine their reports to find out how they impacted on children.
He also urged them to ensure that such reports did not put children in any form of risk, harm or damage their image, cause humiliation, stigmatisation or anything that would disrupt their healthy growth, saying, "Let's all do well to understand the basics of journalism and apply it diligently when reporting on children issues".
Award scheme
Moving forward, Mr Appiah said, the organisation, in an effort to promote good and quality reporting on children, would this year institute an award for the best journalist in child reporting with focus on children's rights and protection.
That, he said, was intended to help identify, acknowledge and promote the work of journalists who adopt and practise ethical journalism when reporting.
Code of ethics
The President of the GJA, Mr Affail Roland Monnie, said ethics were intrinsic part of journalism and the adherence to ethical discipline showed the difference between a serious journalist and the one that was not.
He said the excessive injection of profanity in reporting cases of defilement by certain radio stations, exposure of victims of sexual abuse, among other infringements, were 'professional diseases' that were rooted in ignorance.
Mr Monnie, therefore, called for a conscious effort by journalists to reflect on the provisions of the code of ethics, and let it reflect in their writings to justify the production of the code.
In her address, the Head of UNICEF Child Protection Programme, Ms Johanna Eriksson Takyo, said telling the stories of children in public "must be done with respect and with dignity".

I photographed this family last Spring and it was great to hear from them again and hear that they are adding another child to their family. We met up at Assiniboine Park for a family session which included a few maternity shots of Mom and her baby bump. The kids have grown and little Miss A wasn't quite as serious as she was at last years session. Both kids were very "cheesy"
