A Heart Open Can't Be Broken
Two months ago I returned to Puerto Viejo riding on a rainbow.
I was so high from all of the synchronicities and heart openings during my travels in Guatemala and the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, and the Yucatan, that everything around me seemed to sparkle.
The sun shone that much brighter.
The flowers smelled that much sweeter.
The sloths looked that much cuter.
I felt so full of happiness and gratitude to be home in paradise, after possibly the most amazing trip I had ever been on, that at times I wondered if my heart would explode into a glitter bomb. I was so in love with myself and my life that it was easy to love everything and everyone. Plus I had felt so safe, free, and loved in Mexico and Guatemala that I carried that feeling back home to Costa Rica.
As I rode up and down the main road to the beach or to yoga or to the farmer's market, I did ecstatic dance on my bicycle. I sang at the top of my lungs and pointed an imaginary microphone at people on the street. I smiled to every person I passed and shouted "BUENOS DIAS AMIGOS!" then I'd giggle and wave.
In the past I avoided the crowded beaches, this time I gravitated towards them. At sunset I'd go there and hula hoop or skip while singing to myself. I had conversations on a deep level with people I never used to give the time of day. I talked about spirit animals and star seeds and getting high without drugs to anybody.
Where I once used to barricade myself in, I let everything hang out.
And people started treating me differently. Very differently.
While in the past I'd get cat called at least ten times in ten minutes, this time I'd pass entire construction crews who simply greeted me with smiles. People laughed and gave air high fives when they saw me dance on my bicycle. Even the women who used to glare at me showed their pearly whites. In this community where it's so easy to feel like a perpetual outsider among locals, I felt like maybe I was breaking down the wall.
I dreamed up ideas for connecting locals and travelers and foreigners in experiences so much deeper than nights out at the bars. I planned conscious beach parties with Acro yoga and bonfires and hula hooping and drum circles. I invited friends over for cacao and cuddle puddles. I snuggled with and saw the beauty in so many people I used to shut out. I got more and more high off my own happiness.
Most radically of all, I sought to see the divinity in the man here who had hurt me so badly in the past. I spoke to him with an open heart, told him how special he is, and genuinely thanked him for helping me. I fantasized about having a truly pure platonic friendship with him that would heal not only our karma, but the karma that made so many women in this town hate men. And honestly, it felt really good.
My friends thought I was delusional.
I thought I was pretty awesome.
But there was still that little voice of insecurity that wondered, "Am I more than just happy, am I actually fucking crazy?"
Disconcerted by my possible naïveté, I decided to take a trip back in time. To understand where all of my walls came from to begin with. To remember why it's so much easier for me to be open when I travel than it has been to be open here in Puerto Viejo. I went back to relive the past so I wouldn't make the same mistakes in my present.
I did it as a full on ceremony, because what else do you do on a Sunday night when you live alone in the jungle?
In meditation I called in the past, all of the times over the years that I've lived here in this Caribbean beach town and all of the experiences that transpired. Though what was strange, was that I kept getting distracted by visions of an ex boyfriend from back when I lived in the states.
I kept thinking of him and how connected I had once felt to him. I felt the intimate moments we once shared. It was the first time in years that I remembered what deep, physical intimacy felt like.
I felt this pull from him that was so strong, I actually asked him to let me go. Then something in my consciousness told me that I needed to check my email correspondence with him. It was strange, because I've never had that feeling before, but I very strongly felt that I needed to dig into the email archives.
So, in the middle of my ceremony, I pulled out my iPhone. I scrolled through emails from more than four years ago, and there was nothing remotely significant. I nearly turned off the phone and that's when I saw it. An email I had written to my ex while I was living here in Puerto Viejo, the very night that the walls came up.
I had completely forgotten that I had emailed him that night. It was 4am and I was totally drunk when I wrote it, and perhaps my babbling was so embarrassing I blocked it from my memory. It was the night that I found out about the deception of the man I loved in Puerto Viejo. The memory of that night stung me less than the words that I read in that email.
"I don't think that any man has ever loved me, and I don't think that any man ever will."
Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. It felt impossible to believe that the same woman who always smiles and dances for hours without alcohol, sings "I love you" songs to herself and others, travels the world and makes friends wherever she goes, and has been told again and again that she must be the happiest person in the world, is the same woman who once wrote that. It humbled me to my knees.
I watched memories from all of the moments between then and now like they were compiled in a flip animation book. I'm not sure I've ever felt so blessed in my life, and it was simply for my own dedication towards self-growth. I sobbed and held myself and said "Thank you," over and over and over again. I said thank you for having the time and the space to transform in this way and I said thank you for seizing the opportunity. I turned to my spirit and I bowed down in reverence for its incredible devotion to becoming a more and more conscious loving human being.
"I don't think that any man has ever loved me, and I don't think that any man ever will."
I had grown so much, but a piece of that wounded belief was still there. So I let myself feel all of the pain that I had felt over the years. Every bit of heartbreak that I soldered together to eventually create an entire suit of armor. It had been there all along, I just hadn't been ready to excavate it until now.
I laid on my bed with my arms splayed open and my heart lifted towards the sky. "I'm ready to receive all of the love and blessings that you have for me," I said. "I'm ready to heal this. I will do whatever it takes to heal this."
The next morning I felt like a different person. And not in a yummy way. I felt like a little girl who had lost her innocence.
I didn't want to smile at people in the streets. I didn't want to go to the busy beach and socialize. I didn't believe that my vision of creating conscious gatherings here for people of all walks of life was remotely realistic. I watched blame and judgment creep in. And more than anything I didn't want to see or speak to that man here from my past. Before the ceremony he was a shining example of God's divinity. After the ceremony he was the most despicable human being on Earth. A shift in perspective is actually that powerful.
For the days that followed I suffered a lot. It was funny because nothing had actually happened. On the outside nothing had changed at all. Yet I felt as raw as if everything had just happened. I felt like all of the walls I tore down over the years came right back up. And it didn't feel good.
My mind struggled with reconciling it all. With understanding how a human could have an open heart in such a fucked up world where people did such fucked up things. With understanding how a sweet girl could regain her innocence in a place where past experience told her that she wasn't safe to let people in. Most of all, my mind struggled because what I thought made logical sense didn't FEEL good. I wondered how it was possible for me to love and act freely, which felt so yummy, without getting hurt, which felt so devastating.
And yet, the hurt that I felt was old hurt. It was the illusion of hurt. Because nothing hurtful actually happened since I got back to Puerto Viejo and decided to act with an open heart.
I knew that now was not the time to shut down. Not when I had just been so open. Maybe being on high on rainbows seems idealistic to others, but it feels really good for me. Maybe I'm crazy to imagine myself as a fairy goddess or an enlightened being or a magical unicorn, but doesn't my happiness only arouse more happiness in others? No matter how delusional it might seem? I knew all of this, but opening back up wasn't easy.
I struggled to be open when I now felt full of fear. Then, interestingly, I did find myself getting hurt again. No matter how scared I was of getting hurt, I got hurt again in exactly the way that made me fearful to begin with. The pain that I called in during my ceremony, the memories of all of the past pain, came to greet me in the flesh in exactly the same pattern. I watched myself re-enter a cycle that I had done so much work to break free of.
To be fair, I was making tremendous strides. It felt like I had taken a step backwards because I wasn't flying in the ether, but I was working through my barriers with conscious awareness this time. I wasn't simply caught in the wheel of my past, I was living it out and growing in the process. It really hurt, but I was growing.
Through these challenges I also remembered all of the practices that got me into my rainbow to begin with. I remembered to tell myself "I love you," as much as possible. I remembered to thank everyone and every situation for helping me. I remembered to turn inward despite the tempting desire to look outward for love, validation, really anything. I remembered to make choices that felt deeply nourishing.
I saw that so much of my energy was being drained by trying to heal different relationships from my past, that I forgot to give my attention to the most important relationship of all. My relationship with myself.
So a few nights ago, I removed all of the external sources of validation and rejection. I went completely inward. I did my Yin Yoga practice naked on my deck under the stars. I kissed my knees and my arms and my legs with the passion and affection that I would offer a lover. I repeated again and again the kindest most sincere compliments to myself that I could muster. And when I went to bed, I held myself and felt so blessed to be going to bed with me. Cause I'm a pretty freaking special being.
In the morning what amazed me, was that I felt so full of love, that I was no longer drawn to the situation that had triggered my suffering. Oh, right, I realized, because love attracts more love. Align yourself with the vibration of love and you become drawn only to those experiences that match that vibration. The more you fill up with love, the more you release anything that isn't love. The longing I held that hurt me so much faded, because it wasn't rooted in love.
I grabbed my hula hoop and started dancing to this song:
"Some think that love is a method for the meek. You have to surrender, you walk the path and get weak. No, if you look for love and love is all you seek, you will see that everything that's not love has got to leave. It's a strong current of love holding love and light making light. More of the same: love attracts more of what it likes. Making love is a conscious choice. In the face of your own fear, it's a courageous voice. Keeping the energy of molecules in motion, don't deny yourself a faster vibration. Find your communion: sacred emotion. Light is love at rest, love is light in motion."
Of course!
'Cause the thing about the suffering, is that it didn't come when I was open. It came the moment that I let myself shut down. It came the moment that I stopped trusting and started fearing. I was reminded of the seeming paradox that walls don't actually keep you safe, only an open heart does.
Only when you have walls do the wrecking balls need to come in. Only when you've built barricades do you need the explosives. Only when you're judging something does it keep coming back to trigger you until you surrender. If your heart is already open, you don't need devastation or confusion to come and crack you open. A heart open doesn't need to be broken.
We're so afraid of the vulnerability of an open heart, but no danger lies there. The danger lies in the walls. Fill yourself up with light and love and nothing else can touch you. Fill yourself up with light and love and you will attract more and more light and love.
Not to say that more challenges won't come your way. They will. But when you see them as playful trickers here to remind you to open, rather than dangerous demons that you have to guard yourself against, that's when the game changes.
Still, with all of this awareness, at times I find myself falling into the same funk of sadness, unworthiness, and lack of trust. Falling into the same longing and desire for validation outside of me. Falling into the same tendency to shut down and close up.
I guess it's a process that we're going through together. We're all here on this Earth, whether in New York City or small town America or bustling Bangkok or beaches in Bali or villages in the Himalayas or jungles in Africa or in the tiny Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, to break down our walls and remember how to love. We are all just here to remember how to love.
And honestly, I wish I had all of the answers. I wish I could tell myself and all of you how to return to pure ecstatic love. But for me, the journey is still unfolding. It's still revealing itself. So for now, I'm working on simply staying open. Staying open to receiving all of the lessons, the healing, and the love that awaits me. Staying open to receiving love in all forms, to remember that I am love in all forms. Just as you are. Just as we all are.
When you want to shut down
that's your moment to open up.
When you feel like giving up
that's your time to give in.
When you think that you're without
that's your call to go within.
When you start to judge yourself
that's your reminder to love yourself.
When you feel like your heart is broken
that's your chance to crack it open.
May you open to the magnificence of who you are, so that you may open to the magnificence of all that is.
Pura Vida.
I love you.

I've been reading for awhile and thing I found myself most envious of was not your ability to travel all the time, but the time you put into understanding who you are and the person you want to be. For awhile I thought the only reason you could do this much thinking, writing, working on you if because you lived on a beach, worked online, lived alone, etc. It was all me assuming things about your life and making excuses for myself. I stand corrected, and see the unique thing about you is not that you aren't busy, but that you work on these things despite all that's going on. I am a mom with a family and a full-time job. I'd like to start incorporating more self-reflection etc. but it seems overwhelming. Do you have a simple tip to start today that would help on this journey of healing and self love.

Amazing post. The way you went into your pain consciously and with self love is so beautiful. I love "When you feel like your heart is broken
that's your chance to crack it open."

Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤💕❤ I had goosebumps throughout your entire post. It's like your words were coming from my soul expressing everything I've been wanting to say. I cried, I laughed, I loved your words and your soul and I felt your love through it all. I'm so happy to have found your wonderful blog! Thank you Camille ❤ One of these days, our paths will cross in person, I just know it 😊
Wow, beautiful Camille! Thank you for being so vulnerable here and sharing it with us.
And may I just say – perfect timing as well..I have been contemplating on self-love and what practices i could take up to cultivate it more after a failed relationship. The like attracts the like..so when there are some broken parts in us, or fears and insecurities of being unloveable..we will always attract partners to show us exactly that..
Thanks for confirming everything that I was thinking of. Oh and I love your writing style – very eloquent and easy to read at the same time. Please continue being open <3
I absolutely love how raw you are. Your travels are great, but your awareness of emotions and your beautiful soul are what really shine through in your posts. I absolutely love your ending poem also, printing it out and putting on my vision board soon!
Beautiful. Powerful. Amazing. It nearly made me cry (in a good way).

Thank you so much for opening up like that! This article came at such a perfect time in my life. I am struggling with opening my heart up again, it was closed for such a long time for fear of being hurt. I opened it up for such a short time to watch it get hurt, yet again. This post gives me hope to look inside and keep it open. It's so easy to shut off emotions and run and hide to avoid the immediate pain. Thank you for this reflection, it has changed my train of thought to be more positive and stay open to the idea of love <3 Keep loving life girl! You are definitely an inspiration. Sending love and thoughts your way!!
Hello Camile!
I've been reading you for almost 2 years now but I'm not usually the type of person that comments publicly in social media or even blogs. But this post is so worth it. You are a person that has inspired me so much for a while now and it's weird you know, cause I don't know you and at the same time I feel I do know a small part of you, of your essence. This is by far the best post you've written and I must say one of the best I've ever read in my life. Honestly I just wanted to tell you: WOW!!! I'm speechless… I send you with all my heart the best of my vibes, hoping you'll receive them and feel loved from a 25 yo Mexican that has never met you!!!
All my love,
PS: I'd love to join you in your adventures and yoga someday
I always love reading your posts. You dig right down deep, bare it all and express yourself. Your honesty and self reflection is always refreshing, and you are exactly right, practicing so much LOVE brings more love in. It's not easy, and some days its damn impossible. But remembering to do the best of our ability is SO important. We need to love ourselves, and love those around us, and watch it breed more love!! Thanks Camille <3

Heya Camille!
TOTALLY! THANK YOU!! I truly understand, my friend. I'm sure you heard that Thich Nhat Hanh quote, "Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.' I LOVE how aware and intentional you are and that you're able to share your feelings/thoughts and lessons and it helps ME! You are adorable! I love you, too! Hope our paths cross on the road somewhere. Have a magically delicious day! <3 <3 <3

I have been following your blog for awhile but this is the first time I have commented. Your writing tonight really touched my heart. I hear you, I feel you! Lately, I have been going through the same cycles. I was high on life and feeling wonderful and then this week it all just hit me. Nothing bad happened, I just felt old hurts creep in and start to fester. I rarely dream but the last 3 nights I had dreams about old hurts. And you just helped me remember what I know deep deep down. Love attracts love, light attracts light. Life is not perfect but it is short and fucking beautiful. I needed this so much today. Thank you, thank you , thank you!

Hey Sweetie. Have I told you how truly amazing you are!!?? Wise beyond your years. I hope I'm still around when youre my age to see what's going on in that head of yours. A teacher, you are. Big hugs from Cali!
I am so in love with this blog. I identify with it so purely. I had a moment this week of closing my heart and starting to fear. I woke up, thankfully, out of it and pressed on with an open heart. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I love you!
This was absolutely amazing.
I love you! Sending you all the good energies and yummy vibrations of the Universe and know you're always protected by all the spiris that love you, and they're a lot.

[…] But eventually my shadow came to the surface. It scared me to be so open. The more I gave into my fear, the more I descended into the shadow. And then one day, I fell back into the old pattern. I became blinded by my desire for him and because he had never changed his patterns, I got hurt again. Even though I already knew his game, it still hurt like the first time. And the pain made me want to shut down again. I couldn't believe that after all of my healing, I had let myself get back to that place. (Read more in my post A Heart Open Can't Be Broken.) […]

Hi! I'm just amazed at the synchronicity that made me come across this article. Twitter was open on my web-browser.. I was talking to someone and not looking at the laptop.. the person leaves and turn to my laptop.. a tweet has been clicked on and its open as a highlighted pop up.. I didn't do it.. must have clicked it accidentally.. I notice and read.. and I take a screenshot… because at this moment in life, there is nothing more that I needed to read.. this is just amazing..

• Week 18 in the 3 Year Curriculum covers the Birth of Baby Jesus. Use activities in this week to celebrate Christmas in your home.
• Hay for Jesus
Idea from Nicole: Growing up, our coffee table housed a little manger with hay under it. During the time right after Thanksgiving until Christmas, every time we did something without being asked to do it, we got to place a piece of hay in the manger. The goal was to get enough hay in the manger by Christmas for baby Jesus. Since a bale of hay is not readily available to everyone, try using ornamental grass from your landscape. You could also use artificial or dried decorative grass found at your local hobby store.
• Hand or Foot Print Salt Dough Ornament
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup salt, 1/2 cups water Directions: Mix together the flour and salt. Add in the water. May add food coloring. Knead until smooth. Break off a small section and roll 1/8" thick. Have the child press his foot or hand into the dough to make a print. Let it dry for a few days by flipping periodically or bake at 200 degrees until hard.
Silent Night (Traditional)
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Amid the electronic junk mail found cluttering the in-box when logging on each day, solicitations from as far away as Sierra Leone may await, offering promises of riches.
Print-ready version
Send to a friend
Subscribe to the Banner-Herald
E-mail the Editor
Discuss in Forums
In the subject field of such e-mails can be found such breathless entreaties as ''Urgent Help'' and ''Assist Me And My Family Please!''
Others are more direct and to the point, like one reading, ''$152,000,000 US Dollars Transfer.''
''The best thing people can do is hit the delete button when they see these e-mails,'' advised Detective Beverly Russell, who investigates fraud for the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.
Russell said she has been fielding an increasing number of complaints of people who've fallen victim to overseas e-mail scams, some of which ask recipients for banking and other personal information, while others request ''advance fees'' in order to collect a percentage of a large sum of money trapped in an overseas account.
''We've had cases from Nigeria, Russia, Liberia, Australia, Canada - all over the globe,'' Russell said. ''No one in the world is going to give you all this money for nothing, and if it sounds too good to be true, it is.''
Upon opening such e-mails, you will read about fantastic situations in faraway lands, involving dethroned royalty, government officials and similar characters claiming to be worth millions of dollars, but unable to access the money without your help.
''My movement is restricted and my traveling documents seized, including my international passport, which was seized by the government security agent,'' writes Mrs. Hilda Mupesa, who claims to be the wife of a wealthy businessman who was killed for supporting rebels looking to topple Robert Mugabe, president of the African nation of Zimbabwe.
With her bank assets frozen by the government, Mrs. Hilda Mupesa tells how she needs your assistance in getting $350 million her late husband had hidden in an offshore account, and would give you 30 percent of the money for your troubles.
Why you?
''I got your contact from the professional database found in the Internet when I was searching for a reliable foreigner who will assist me in this fund,'' Mrs. Hilda Mupesa explains.
All you must do, Mrs. Hilda Mupesa writes, is e-mail her attorney in Malaysia for further instructions. Those instructions will be to send thousands of dollars in attorney or transfer fees.
Russell said once a fraud victim sends money out of the country, there is nothing she or any other U.S. law enforcement official can do to help.
''It's a question of jurisdiction,'' she said. ''Once that money leaves the continental U.S., it becomes the jurisdiction of the country of (the e-mail's) origin, and I really don't think the Canadians or whoever are going to look at your case because it's all the way in Georgia, and they have their own cases to worry about.''
According to the most recent statistics from the Internet Fraud Complaint Center - a clearinghouse created in 2000 by the FBI and National White Collar Crime Center - more than $54 million was lost in the United States from Internet scams in 2002, up from $17 million the year before.
In 2002, and for the third straight year since the agency's creation, the IFCC reported that Internet auction fraud, or the non-delivery of goods sold to bidders online, accounted for the most frequently reported offense.
But the highest average loss - $3,864 per person - was due to Nigerian letter fraud, according to the IFCC. Despite the name, the Nigerian letter fraud can originate from a number of African countries, such as Mrs. Hilda Mupesa's Zimbabwe, and even from Canada and the United Kingdom, the IFCC reports.
''We've had reports in Athens-Clarke County of people sending as much as $10,000 to these countries,'' Russell said. ''You get these reports and wonder 'What were these people thinking?'''
Although prosecuting foreign-based fraud is difficult, if not impossible, the IFCC urges victims to file complaints on its Web site so it can make referrals to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. Some IFCC referrals have led to prosecutions of fraud cases domestically, and the agency said reports of Nigerian letter scams and similar fraud will be referred to the U.S. Secret Service.

Reese Witherspoon teleports0:35
Reese Witherspoon teleports during the Independent Spirit Awards broadcast on March 1, 2014.
MARGOT Robbie has made her Oscars debut — and it was quite a statement.
The 23-year-old Australian actor hit the red carpet dressed in a full-length black dress.
Robbie had shared a candid snap of herself prepping for the Academy Awards in a Los Angeles hotel room. The hint of what was to come was her new dark locks.
Dressed in a white and pink silk robe, the Wolf of Wall St actor could barely contain her excitement while getting prepared for the red carpet.
"Never thought I'd say this ... I'm getting ready for the #oscars!!!!," she posted on Twitter.
The former Neighbours actress opened up earlier this year about how she broke the news to her small-town family that she would be nude in her latest flick - The Wolf of Wall Street.
The 23-year-old Australian starlet told Jimmy Kimmel of how she originally "flat-out lied" to her parents about the film's sex scenes.
"I just flat-out lied to my family for a really long time and I said: 'I don't care what you hear; there's no nudity; I'm not doing any nudity. Ignore anything anyone's saying; there's no nudity'," she said.
"And then I thought, 'The movie's going to come out and they're going to see that there's nudity."And then eventually I came clean: 'I'm doing nudity, but you should read the book first, and if you still want to see the movie after reading the book'."
The Gold Coast girl showed how down to earth she was later in the year when she arrived in her home town between engagements to catch up with friends and family with no airs and graces.
Robbie smiled happily for the cameras and taking off her sunglasses after the long-haul from LA.
Robbie is set to attend the glitzy awards night with her Wolf of Wall Street co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill.

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study evaluating the effects of UDCA on peripheral blood flow and immune function in patients with stable chronic heart failure (CHF). Sixteen patients with CHF will be recruited from the heart failure clinic at the Royal Brompton Hospital. Following baseline evaluation, patients will be randomised to receive either placebo or UDCA at a dose of 1000 mg/day for a period of four weeks. They will then undergo repeat evaluation (peripheral blood flow and immune function). A four week washout period will then take place before the patients cross-over to receive the respective other therapy for a further four weeks (i.e. those first receiving placebo will go onto receive UDCA and vice versa). The study will be completed after a total of twelve weeks, with a final assessment (peripheral blood flow and immune function).

Playoffs are underway for the Willmar Cardinals boys soccer team and the guys talk about their chances to make a serious run. Tennis has also reached that point in the season. The Cardinal team and a few individuals have made it to the next round in their section and the 6A tournament is also wrapping up. To round it out, the guys talk about Ridgewater football who has one of the best defenses in their conference.
Clay and Jake start this week with a recap of some of last week's football games including the unofficial game of the week that was Hutchinson against Litchfield. Hutchinson defeated the previously undefeated Litchfield 30-19. The guys also talk about New London-Spicer's loss to Zimmerman and bring up the name of an aptly named kicker.
Clay and Jake discuss Litchfield's 49-27 win over Holy Family, lifting the Dragons to 5-0 The win sets up a major showdown with fellow unbeaten Hutchinson Friday. Also unbeaten in the area is BOLD, which pitched its third-consecutive shutout Friday.
Clay and Jake discuss Friday's homecoming football game at Willmar, where the Cardinals beat St. Cloud Apollo 21-7 to grab their first win. Willmar ran for a season-best 230 yards and won the turnover battle for the first time this season. The segment closes with a discussion of MInnewaska, which also won its first game by beating Sauk Centre 20-16.
Clay and Jake finally get a chance to talk about last week's big games for Willmar boys soccer and Ridgewater volleyball. The Cardinals took on St. Cloud Tech and lost 1-0 in a battle of unbeatens. Ridgewater was more successful, dethroning Rochester, the reigning JUCO division III national champions in a five-set match.
To start week five, Clay and Jake talk about New London-Spicer and Willmar football from the previous Friday. The Wildcats defeated St. Cloud Cathedral 32-6 at home behind two touchdown performances from Josh Soine and Jackson Ness. Willmar took on Alexandria at home and saw plenty of turnovers and an outstanding performance from the Alexandria runningback turn into a lopsided loss.
BURNSVILLE — The Morris/Chokio-Alberta volleyball team posted a 3-2 record at the Midwest Volleyball Warehouse Invitational over the weekend. The Tigers, ranked No. 5 in Class AA, lost to No. 2 Belle Plaine and No. 9 Kasson-Mantorville—both went three sets—and defeated No. 8-ranked Hill-Murray. Among the 16-team field, 12 teams were ranked among the top 15 in the state. "We were playing the best of the best right now," MCA head coach Kristi Fehr said. "It was good competition."
FERGUS FALLS— Carl Borleis threw for 417 yards and four touchdowns and the Ridgewater football team moved above .500 with a 34-28 win at Minnesota State Fergus Falls Saturday. Richard Fraser had seven catches for 154 yards and a touchdown, while Aaron Sims added 7 grabs for 138 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Warriors, who scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter. Borleis also scored a touchdown on the ground and added a punt of 42 yards to his monster day. T'ummie Sankey led Ridgewater with 44 yards rushing and a touchdown.
WILLMAR— Esther Grussing had 105 assists, Carly Wedel made 35 kills and Willmar won four straight-set matches to take first in the eight-team Willmar Volleyball Invitational Saturday. The Cardinals beat Albany 25-17, 25-21 in the championship round after topping the Huskies 25-15, 25-18 earlier in the day. The Cardinals also earned a 25-9, 25-15 win over Renville County West and a 25-15, 25-19 win against Central Minnesota Christian School. Heidi Sellmann had nine aces and Grussing added eight. The duo also led the team with 13 block aces.
WILLMAR — Just hours removed from its biggest win in some time, the Ridgewater volleyball team had no letdown against Western Tech Saturday. Baylie Kubesh had 30 assists, five aces and eight digs and the Warriors coasted to a 25-17, 25-20, 25-14 win. Hailey Leiding added a team-best 10 kills and was second on the team with 12 digs, one fewer than leader Lexie Skoglund. The Warriors, who beat reigning Division-III national champion Rochester the night before, are now 8-0 in the MCAC.

Live Stakes and Whips
From Bioengineering
Live Whips
Whips are slender, live, woody, shrub material. Whips are well suited for very moist areas of stream edges and commonly used in
conjunction with gabion structures, riprap and geo-fabrics.
Live Whip Sizes: 3/8"-1" diameter; 4'-6' lengths
Installation Notes: Install stakes during their dormancy (late fall to early spring). Do not allow them to dry out. Soaking before planting significantly increases survival and growth rate. Drive a pilot hole in firm soil, planting at right angles (buds oriented up) with at least two-thirds of its length underground. Plant stakes randomly or 3'-6' apart on triangular spacing. Tamp the soil down around the cuttings and water. If a long dry spell or hot weather is expected after planting, irrigation may be warranted.

Thanksgiving is over and we are all starting to get into the mood for Christmas. I don't know about you, but I LOVE Christmas! I love the lights and the music and the decorations, but most of all I love the anticipation. Some of that is a holdover from when I was a child and I got really excited anticipating all the presents on Christmas morning. Now I still anticipate the fun of Christmas day, but I also enjoy the spiritual side of the expectation as well. "Come, thou long expected Jesus!" Christmas is a big deal because God came to earth in the form of a human baby. The nation of Israel spent a long time anticipating the arrival of their Messiah. The story of Isaiah and the activities below give you a great opportunity to teach your preschoolers the truth of the Christmas story and the real reason to be excited about Christmas time!
HIGHLIGHTS from Sunday…
This week your child learned that God sent prophets—many of them! Prophets were special messengers who told the people what God said. One of these prophets was named Isaiah. As a prophet it was Isaiah's job to listen to God then tell the people what God told him to say. God's message is one of hope and the story of Isaiah focuses on the coming Messiah; the Savior God promised. Isaiah told people over and over again about the Savior God promised. He told them what God said but they would not listen. They did not believe Isaiah...or any of the prophets. They did not believe God at all. Do you? (Isaiah 9, 11, 40, 53, 55 & 60; Psalm 23, 51 & 2 Samuel 7)
Teaching Truths:
- God had a plan to rescue the world from sin.
- God always keeps His promise.
Memory Verse:
"Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105
Here's a simple song to help your child (and you) memorize this week's memory verse!
3 Activities that remind us that God Always Keeps His Promise:
1. Dessert Plans
Find a simple recipe for making cookies or a fun dessert. Have your child help you make the food by following the recipe. As you are making the dessert, talk to your child about how you are obeying the steps in the recipe plan. God always has a plan and we need to listen to and obey his plan. As you are eating your dessert, read the story of Isaiah's call from Isaiah 6:1-8 and ask these questions.
- Did Isaiah have to listen and obey?
- What message was Isaiah sharing?
- How can we be like Isaiah? What message can we share?
2. Here Comes Jesus!
Play and sing this song to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel. Hold your child's hands and walk in a circle while singing this song:
It's all around God's country
That Isaiah talked of Jesus
When Isaiah spoke
They didn't listen
BUT! Here comes Jesus (jump up, the fall to the ground)
Take your little one outside and whisper a short saying in your child's ear such as "God loves me and you, too." Then have them yell that saying as loud as they can. Show them how to make their hands into a megaphone to make their voice even louder. Just as Isaiah told people about God, your child can do the same. Continue with other short sayings such as "God has a plan to save us" or "God keeps his promises."
Dear God,
Please help us to have joy as we serve you and obey your Word. Help us to be brave and tell others the good news of your son, Jesus just like Isaiah did so long ago.

A second incident involving construction workers and aerial agriculture spraying may have sickened workers in Sutter County.
The first incident in July still has workers in and out of the hospital, they say.
Video from the July incident provided to CBS13 by one of the 10 workers sprayed with pesticide shows just how close the chopper came to the group of men working on the levee.
"The pilot was totally in error when they did the application," said Sutter County Agriculture Commissioner Mark Quisenberry.

I did do it before we left justa but needed to reapply! It was crazy hot. The sea was like bath water. We bought a great beach tent from Mitre 10 before we left, it was really good...and was only $12!
It's not like Spain here is it? Where there is a guy hiring out sunbeds and parasols! As a NZ friend told me "kiwi's bring their own shade!" was so glad we got it!
Quick message as late but I'll casually stroll in to the meet up just after 3pm by the time swimming is done and I've got there.

Dh just getting dd1 to bed now. They were knackered but hyper - they loved it :-)
Sounds like you all hada lovely time, how nice you were able to meeet up. Was it scorching with you? Got up to 35 here...incredibly hot. It was ds 1's 5th birthday today, my Mum cried on and off all day
vvviola ah crap (scuse the pun) not nice for you guys. Never pleasant when one of your tots is poorly. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery x
HELLLOOOOOOO girls - so nice to catch up on recent posts - I can't believe how long I have been away from here. We are narrowing down the job options to gorgeous Tauranga, where we have close friends (hospital allegedly advertising a post in March - I'll believe it when I see it, but here's hoping!) and to Perth, where we used to live (but SO bleeding expensive nowadays that I doubt we can afford to move there, realistically) but also realise that we might not get to go away at all, if neither works out. We'll see. I cannot believe how long it is all taking, and how much more difficult it is to find an opening down under - especially in Oz - than it used to! Anyway - great to see all the familiar names are still here! We have been busy - moved house 3 weeks ago (from a rental into our own home), after going to India for two weeks over Xmas (stayed with Indian friends in Kerala - fab experience). Love the new house, can now walk kids to school, DH can walk to hospital to work etc. My work is ten mins' drive away. Lovely. AB - I see you are facing a BIG decision!!!! EEEK! Good luck! Much love to you all - frik good luck with the imminent move - everyone else, sorry I haven't had time for a full-on trawl so haven't fully caught up with your news, but hope you are all very well and thriving. XX
Ahhh, there you are meerkate, have missed you! New house sounds FAB!!!How wonderous!
Funny you shouls mention Perth, a woman on the waiheke community fb page, pm'd me and told me I should consider movin toPerth, that it was cheap, we could get a big house with air con and a pool!! No??
Am having a huge wobble about Waihke. I really want someone to tell me it'll be ok. But everytime I say we might be moving there,people go "Ohhh it's lovely"...and I KNOW they want to follow that with "But I wouldn't live there!"
One woman told me her bro used to live there but could stand the restriction of ferries.
Another woman told me her son moved off due to water tank/septic tank and isolation!
Also,(shhhhhhhh) I am a few days late!PROBABLY STRESS RELATED....but,shhhhhhh!
I don't know about Perth, I think it used to be quite reasonable but has got quite expensive now. It's very very remote so anything that has to be flown in, goods or food or whatever probably has the price bumped up because of transport costs
There's are couple of threads in Living Overseas at the mo about Perth and one poster reckons she spends about AU$600 a week on groceries . Mind you, everyone else on the thread seems to spend less.
Blimey day's! That's steep!
Don't think I could live in Oz anyway.
But have serios reservations re Waiheke...panicking
Hi girls! So nice to be back on here
WWS I read every word of that thread with a mounting sense of horror, believe me!
AB the consensus seems to be that it is truly horrendously expensive these days - Perth seems in the same bracket as Sydney in many ways - rental in the nice sea-side suburb we used to live in would now set us back over the equivalent of £2000/month (over double the going rate in our current location - we just finished renting for a year). Obviously salaries are higher too but I am not sure that we could really afford a good quality of life over there - our quality of life here at home is very good, barring the appalling UK weather!
Plus, NZ is MUCH more us - we love the fab beaches, lush countryside, walking, biking, and the variety of weather (just not the crap we get here in England all the time). Hmmm - we'll just have to see what comes up. My preference is definitely for Tauranga, I must say! Plus the Aussies have put so many restrictions now in place for work - I would get a job in NZ much more easily, which is very important to my sanity and happiness! I love my job here and dread the thought of not working (part-time, I hasten to add)
AB I feel for you with this latest dilemma. I must say Waiheke would ring a few alarm bells for me too. It's like a microcosm of NZ itself, surely - the most stunningly beautiful place ever, but SO isolated! I couldn't then live on a stunning-but-even-more-isolated mini-island off the coast of said bigger island! However, our former nanny from our Dunedin days is one of the most contented people I know and she lives full-time on Great Barrier Island and has the most idyllic, barefoot, bohemian existence ever, as far as I can see, surrounded by a close community who are very supportive of each other. So perhaps that's what Waiheke could be like? I have never set foot on the place and maybe I'd be bowled over! GOOD LUCK with the decision-making!
Much love xx
Hello everyone <waves sheepishly> I've been lurking a lot these past few months, not part of the 'gang' as it were but still grasping tid bits of NZ going on We had our trip back to NZ over Xmas / New Year and it was fab, really really lovely to be home... even a nasty bout of chicken pox (DS 4.5yrs - vomited for 5 days), thrush for me (awfully humid that country you live in), a staph infection for wee DD (minor and easily fixed but grrrrrrrrrrosssssss) cant sway me from claiming a great holiday!
I just had to pipe up with my 2penny worth with regards to the Waiheke dilemma... AB dooooooooooooooooooont doooooooooooooooooooo itttttttt
Okay, that's probably not very supportive or constructive but honest to goodness noooooo nooooooooooo nooooooooooooooooooooo
I own some of the biggest NZ branded rose tinted glasses you've ever seen but living on Waiheke would be hard going and you are already in a situation of low support on a day to day basis and have had a horrifically rough year, you deserve to be able to voice your reservations to your DH and for them to have precedence over his enthusiasm or at least for them to taken very seriously.
I think you guys would really love Beachlands, its far enough away from CBD that you feel like you are out of Auckland almost but 15 mins over the hill (Whitford) you are in East Auckland (Botany / Howick, another 10mins to Sylvia Park, airport is about 30mins), CBD by car is about 40mins (non rush hour), your DH can catch ferry to CBD if he'd rather, Shelly Bay beach and Maraetai beaches are really fantastic, I saw several day care / nursery options offering the 20 hrs free, the school is really nice from what I saw, the Te Puru community centre has all the sports you need for adults and kids and there is a coastal walkway that goes for miles ( has off leash area for dogs, bush walk, walking/cycling path). My FIL commutes from Beachlands to the North Shore every day, that is a huge commute (1hr 15mins each way) and he does it happily as he loves living there (only moved there three yrs ago).
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now but I just wanted to butt in and add another voice to those already who have said be cautious of a move to Waiheke... there are so many lovely, less city like areas in Auckland... Titirangi is beautiful if you rather bush than beaches (tho it might have those too I've only been there a handful of times!)
As for us, we are in 'ducks in a row' mode, we figure its best to get ourselves sorted over the next six months or so so if an opportunity arose we would be in some kind of position to take it but realisitically it'll be another year or two before we go back... I'm DETERMINED to have my 40th birthday in NZ (3yrs away). It was easier to see the rough around the edges parts to NZ life this trip, its an expensive place to live and salaries are not overly generous, NZ drivers are impolite and need to be taught how to drive on open roads / motorways property and its harder to find a really good steak and cheese pie than it used to be but those are some of the prices you'll pay for the opportunities that are available <scuttles off to eBay more stuff for the 'relocation budget'>
I think kiwidreamer makes a really good point - there are other areas of Auckland that are less city-ish, maybe semi-rural and if you want to leave them to visit other areas of Auckland (or anywhere else in the country) you don't have to spend $$ going on a ferry first. These areas may involve a longish commute but no longer than the hour from Waiheke.
Beachlands is a really good example, I've only been once but it seemed like a really nice little seaside community but you could drive to other bits of
Auckland easily. And it has a ferry to the CBD to avoid the traffic. And of course I agree that Titirangi is lovely
Otoh, Waiheke does seem to have quite a strong community who organise quite a lot of stuff to do. It's not a terrible place to be. But it is a bit rough and ready, I think you have to get used to stuff like living on tank water, possible shortages in the summer etc.
Kiwidreamer glad you enjoyed your trip back (despite illnesses). Where do you plan to move back to, Auckland? <probably asked this before>
kiwi, glad you hada good holiday, bad luck about all the illness...no fun.
Dh reeeeally doesn't want to spend an hour in the car. He will be working 9-5 in the CBD, so it will be rush hour travel.
He says he didn't come here for that.
Agree that Beachlands is lovely. Someone also told me about Whangaporoa, which also looks really good.
I am so worried sbout Waiheke, but another thing is, we could afford a house there.
We have only got $500k to spend, and nowhere else in Auk can we get a house with a bit of land, and a short commute for that.
If there is...please tell me!!!
The commute from Waiheke is going to be 2 hours a day, though of course sitting on a boat with a drink is more relaxing than sitting in a car in traffic
I think you could get a house on the Whangaparoa peninsula for 500k, the ferry from Gulf Harbour is about 45 mins so same sort of commute time as Waiheke. Not sure if the houses come with much land up there though.
Just a few years ago 500k would have given you quite a lot of choice but not so much now. I'm afraid
Well that's it, when we got the boat over it went really quickly, and like you say you can sit and read a book or have a drink, so doesn't seem tsuch a hassle.
I a bit gutted we've only got $500k to play with, just a fewk more and we would be in such a different situation.
Although, I did say to dh "what would you do if the land sells this time? (we have greenbelt land in uk waiting to go through council) Or we win the lotto?!" And he said "I'd still move to Waiheke!"
So...I think he is quite keen!
Actually today I feel a bit calmer about it, don't know why.
I think a huge part of my concern, was my Mum. I just know she'll think it's like the arse end of no where, and think we are mad for moving there. I am worried that she'll be bored there. I know she will be, because she is bored here and thereis much more to do!
So that has really bothered me, as she comes so much.
Also, as I still feel responsible for her emotional well being, as I have caused her so much distress by leaving the Uk, so don't wish to displease her further.
When I realised that, I felt calmer.
Because, for the most part, it will be me, dh and the kids...and I think I'll be ok with that.

MyEssayWriting.com - Essay Writing Services.
All of the examples in this book are adapted from actual examples of English that I have spotted during the past twelve months. This is English as written by people who speak and write English as their first language (and, no doubt in many cases, their only language). Educated people. People who have, in most cases, enjoyed as many as sixteen years of full-time education. People who have been to university and graduated with first- and second-class degrees. People who have achieved high-paying jobs in advertising and marketing without ever really fully understanding the possessive role of the apostrophe. This is English that is looking for an audience, be it an advert, travel book or leaflet, newspaper article or website. These examples all come from texts that have been designed to communicate with more than one person. Perhaps this makes the mistakes more surprising. Many of these mistakes – perhaps even the majority – could have been avoided if their authors had checked and rechecked their work before publishing it or sending it off to be printed. By doing so they would have improved the level of communication (the primary aim of any piece of writing – to tell the reader something) and avoided making the organisation they represent look less professional.

Yesterday on Sirius, formermaybe future Pats defensive lineman Andre Carter was on with guys at "Movin' the Chains." It was an interesting interview, the details of which you can read more about over here, but there's one part that I want to focus on.
Something that Carter said after being asked about spending last season in Foxborough.
"I think I learned more about football than I had throughout my whole 11 years."
After more than a decade of listening to the world talk about what a genius Bill Belichick is, I think it's sometimes easy to take him for granted. Or at the very least, to temporarily lose sight of just how much football's been absorbed by the man's brain over the last 60 years.
But every once in a while you hear something like this, and it puts everything in perspective. You hear Andre Carter, who's played a dozen seasons in the NFL, for seven different head coaches including Joe Gibbs and Mike Shanahan say that he learned more in four months with Belichick than in the rest of his career combined.
I guess we need to take Carter's words with a grain of salt. After all, you know that he's dying for a chance to re-join the Pats this year. And he knows that it can't hurt to kiss a little Hoodie ass in the media. But there's no doubt that part of the reason Carter's so eager to play for the Pats in the first place is that bottomless pit of knowledge that sits on top of Belichick's head.
Whether or not Carter and the Pats will ever come to terms this season . . . we'll see. A lot still depends on Carter's recovery from last December's quad injury. He might be a great guy, but unless he can play to last year's standards, you know Belichick won't bite. But count me among the thousands that hope the two sides work something out.
Not only can the Pats use Carter's presence on the line, but the Pats D can use another established veteran. A guy who might still have a lot to learn from Belichick, but also has a lot he can teach to Chandler Jones and the rest of the defensive line.
One other highlight from the Carter interview?
This: "I didnt realize how big Donta Hightower was," Carter said about the Pats other first round pick. "That boy is a beast. He is big and solid and he can run like the wind, especially for a man his size (6-2, 270). I think for him, on the back end, he can do it all whether its a 3-4 or 4-3, Ill be interested to see what he does."
I'll be, too. Like I said before, I really think we're seeing the start of something special with the Pats crew of young linebackers: Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes and Hightower.
I think I'm more excited for them than I've been for any linebacking trio throughout my whole 11 years.

The National Day of Civic Hacking (NDoCH) is an annual event where government staff, coders, hacktivists, and every day citizens utilize open data to create real-world solutions for their communities. On Saturday, May 30th, a team of analysts from Governor O'Malley's StateStat office joined forces with local coders and hackers at Hack Baltimore- Baltimore City's NDoCH event. Together, the team, which included a local veteran, tackled a challenge created by StateStat to drive down veteran unemployment in Maryland.
The team created a map of Maryland's One-Stop Career Centers enabling veterans to find the Centers closest to them as well as the services they provide. By converting addresses into geographic coordinates, the team was able to upload data into Maryland's Open Data Portal and utilize the API to create a smart map.
The map will enable Maryland veterans to enter their address and find the closest Center with the most relevant services. One-Stop Career Centers are equipped with the staff and resources needed to help veterans find and obtain jobs; the majority of Centers are staffed with a Veterans Representative dedicated to serving the unique needs of veteran workers. In the second quarter of FY2014, over 9,600 Maryland veterans received staff assisted services through Maryland's One-Stop system.
Hack for Change Baltimore was one of 123 events held nationwide as part of the NDoCH, each aiming to make government more efficient, transparent, and accountable.
StateStat is Governor O'Malley's performance management and measurement tool. Modeled after the CitiStat program that he developed as Mayor of Baltimore City, Governor O'Malley is using this data-based management approach to make Maryland's government work again for the people of our State. The CitiStat and StateStat programs have been studied and emulated by several programs nationwide. StateStat began in 2007 with a few select public safety and human services agencies. Today, StateStat "stats" 13 individual agencies each month and hosts a number of cross-agency stats such as BayStat and ReEntryStat.

Backup to disk
Solid plan on solid technology. Have you considered storing them off-site?
Backup to cloud
Fantastic choice. Off-site for greater safety and cost-effective too!

Janice is going to find you. And it's almost lunch time. Maybe this isn't the best plan?
To the backups!
Pour yourself some coffee. Send an email to the users. It's going to be a long night.
Let's find the VMware Snapshots
Good plan. But... did you take a snapshot before the upgrade? Better tell support that this is a "known outage."
Fail over to the cloud
With a cloud-based DRaaS solution, you can confidently fail over a single VM or the whole data center. And the users will never even know.
You open the door to the server room. It's infested by bees!

Run Away
Great. Take a step back and regroup. Tweet for advice. Maybe call pest control.
Open the Air Lock
Perfect plan - for that dream where you're the CIO of the starship Enterprise
Train to be an aipiarist (beekeeper)

Stick it in Rice

Run for higher ground
Bring your backup tapes and plan to rebuild in a few weeks, once things calm down.

Best contractor for Office Interior design, office interior decorations and office fit out in Dubai in Dubai Market. For 9 years Highmoon Decoration LLC has been leading in this industry. You can contact us anytime for your dream office for free consultation and ideas. For your dream office plan, may it be small, medium or big office space, we give designed suitable for the space giving you the look that you desired. You call 055-94777776 / 0529477776, Mr. Kalamegam Natarajan for free consultation.
Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company is doing office interior designs and decoration of your office or business premises right requires carefully thought and planning. Research has shown that an interior design company designs a pleasing, attractive office space as it helps to retain staff, boost morale and achieve greater levels of productivity. It will also help to create that all-important positive impression to visiting clients and prospects, which can give your company the edge in today's competitive market.
Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company suggests five (5) main things to consider when planning your office decoration. These are the colour scheme, flooring, window treatments, furniture and office accessories to pull your design together.
Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company is choosing the colour scheme for your office walls, try and pick a colour that reflects the style of your business. Conservative, traditional businesses such as accountancy firms, solicitors or financial advisors need to create a professional and reliable image. So neutral colours such as white, cream, beige or light green are all good choices.
More creative businesses such as design agencies, advertising companies or pr firms can be more adventurous in their surroundings and use bright, bold accent walls to stimulate and inspire.
It can also work well to design an office colour scheme around the company colours. This has been shown to improve staff integration and teamwork and reduce staff turnover.
Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company believes that adding new flooring to your office will make a huge impressionable difference and instantly smarten up your workspace. Like any other interior design company, Highmoon Decoration LLC believes that there is a wide range of flooring options available including carpet, laminate and vinyl, which vary in price, durability and appearance.
If carpet is chosen, a hardwearing design in a reasonably dark colour is the most cost effective option. Choose one that can withstand everyday wear and tear including tea and coffee stains.
Vinyl floor covering is another good choice as it is easy to keep clean, hardwearing and practical. It comes in a wide range of colours and so can complement wall colours or company branding.
Laminate flooring looks very attractive and can create a modern contemporary look. It is extremely hardwearing and much less likely to scratch than real wood floors.
Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company also suggests that replacing tired window coverings should not be forgotten in a redesign. Blinds or shutters are excellent choices to enable as much natural light to enter the room as possible, whilst screening out glare. Venetian blinds, made from wood or aluminum are an excellent choice of window treatment. They are both stylish and durable and can be adjusted to control the level of light coming into your office and create privacy when needed.
For Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company, choosing new office furniture is something that requires careful planning in order to maximise the comfort and happiness of your employees as well as making the best use of the space you have available.
In the planning stage it is important to consider the legroom of the people who will be sitting there all day and ensure there is enough room for them to work comfortably, move easily between desks and make a safe exit in an emergency situation.
No office decoration is complete without a few finishing touches. Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company is very experts on this. Adding plants, artwork or flowers to the room will provide a friendly, personal touch that feels good to work in.
Highmoon Decoration LLC, an interior design company suggests to choose your artwork carefully to ensure people feel positive when they look at it. Up-lifting natural scenes work well and have been shown to reduce stress levels. Company success literature is another good choice to hang on the walls of your office. This can help to motivate staff and impress visitors to the building. For a modern, contemporary look, choose abstract paintings in bright clean colours as these will uplift and inspire.
