In brief, the object of the challenge is to be happy for 100 days in a row. To make the time to be happy or to find happiness in your every day life.
To take part, you post a picture per day of what made you happy via a form of social media (I chose Facebook). I didn't always post a picture - sometimes I just used words to convey my happiness - and there were a handful of days I struggled, but it certainly made me appreciate the every day occurrences in my life in a far greater way. I learned to see the happiness in the world that surrounds me now, something our busy lives too often prevent.
Mended by Love
I backed my first Kickstarter project last week - Mended by Love: A Mother's Memoir of Love and Forgiveness. The Kickstarter project has been started by author PK Hrezo, who will be writing the memoir for the mother of a courageous young woman named Queena. Queena's life was tragically changed beyond recognition just days after her eighteenth birthday and before a promising scholarship to the University of Florida could begin. Read the full story and how PK became involved here.
Like all Kickstarter projects, it will only receive funding if the target goal is reached. If you can help, no matter how small the donation, please do. If you cannot make a financial contribution, please help to spread the news of this project via as many social media outlets as possible.
Authors United Against Plagiarism
I'm sure by now you've all heard about Sam Taylor Mullens, the woman who has allegedly plagiarized author Rachel Ann Nunes. If you haven't, or want to know more, you can read Rachel Nunes first post here and then her posts that follow. You can also find regular updates on how this case is proceeding via Donna K. Weaver. Her September 8th update is truly shocking.
Sam Taylor Mullens has now been served with a summons to appear in federal court to answer plagiarism and other charges. However, bringing Sam Taylor Mullens to court will cost money. So, Rachel Ann Nunes has started a gofundme fundraiser to help with the legal costs. You can find the Standing Against Plagiarism fundraiser here.
In addition to this fundraiser, several authors have banded together and released a fundraiser boxet called Unseen.
Unseen is now available on Kindle, Nook, and Kobo.
Again, if you're unable to make a contribution to the gofundme campaign or buy the book, please help to spread the word.
That's it for this week. I'll be back next Monday, when I'll be taking part in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Underrated Treasures Blogfest. Until then, happy reading and writing.

Sonification – contribute to a new themed issue of Organised Sound
Professor Leigh Landy is the Editor of Organised Sound and Director of the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre at De Montfort University, Leicester.
Sonification is a type of auditory display which relays information and perceptualises data through non-speech audio.
In recent years Auditory Display, Sonification and Audification have entered the public consciousness. Examples of effective data sonification can be found in research fields as diverse as seismology, traffic control and biomedicine. The recent publication of The Sonification Handbook (Logos Publishing House, 2011) provides a contemporary introduction to an interdisciplinary practice that frequently crosses the boundaries between sound design, music composition, cognitive psychology and more recently, analytical and computational musicology.
Many of the sonifications covered in the popular press reduce the data by forcing the sonification to conform to western scales and regular rhythm. For instance, the BBC covered the sound of the newly discovered Higgs Boson particle which is a simple piano solo. Timbral or electo-acoustic music can represent the data much more accurately.
The idea for this issue arose when the editors, Margaret Schedel and David Worrall, met at the International Conference for Auditory Display, and discovered they were both on the board of Organised Sound. They felt there was a lack of scholarship on the aesthetics of sonification, and hope to direct new discussions on using timbre to understand the world around us.
This themed issue of Organised Sound aims to explore and document current musical practices and innovations in this new sonic space. Most publications have focused on why sonification works, or how the sonification was performed. However, whenever there is mapping from one kind of data to another, aesthetic decisions are being made. Have composers been sonifying all along? If so, have audiences been listening as if that's the case? How can electro-acoustic music studies advance this interdisciplinary field?
To find out how you can contribute to this issue, view the full call for papers here.
The deadline for submissions has passed.

Last week I posted a video titled "What Does a Cochlear Implant Look Like?", which I thought would be helpful for everyone who hadn't seen one up close before.
In my rush to get it posted (it had been sitting on the camera for months), I neglected to add captions using Overstream. Elizabeth at DeafVillage.com told me she thought the video was really valuable, so I made sure to add the captions to make sure everyone could see what I am describing in the video.
Here is the link to the captioned version of What Does A Cochlear Implant Look Like?

Jamie Carragher makes Liverpool case for star midfielder
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has stated that his former side needs a creative touch in the midfield ahead of next season in order to stand a better chance of winning the league title next season.
This season has been a difficult one for the Reds as they have been unable to hold onto the top spot with a number of draws which has now placed them in the second position behind Man City.
Jamie Carragher thinks his former team have lacked the creativity and must do well to consider Brazilian international midfielder Philippe Coutinho in the coming summer window.
It would be recalled that Philippe Coutinho dumped Liverpool for Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona in the January winter transfer window of 2018 despite the fact that he was needed at the Anfield.
The exit of the Brazilian has not gone down with the club fans and they are supposedly not happy with him.
However, manager Jurgen Klopp has been advised to make every effort to hand Philippe Coutinho in another opportunity, knowing that the star player has gone down the pecking order at the Spanish La Liga outfit and has lost his starting role to France international forward Ousmane Dembele.

Failed Bid: Man Utd Rebuffed In Koulibaly Chase
Three-time European champions Manchester United have been turned back in their bid to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly this summer.
This is according to the latest reports coming out of the Italian media.
Manchester United are in the market for a new centre back and they have set their sights on the aforementioned Koulibaly who has been a long-term transfer target.
According to the publication from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United have made a stunning bid of around €110m for Senegalese international Kalidou Koulibaly.
It was also revealed that Napoli rejected the big bid from Manchester United for the quality centre back.
The transfer fee would have made Kalidou Koulibaly the most expensive defender in world football ahead of Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk.
Dutch international Van Dijk holds the record for the most expensive defender after the Reds paid £75m for him.
He joined Liverpool from fellow Premier League club Southampton in January 2018.
Koulibaly and Van Dijk are widely regarded as two of the top three defenders on the world football stage alongside Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos.
Napoli had earlier rejected several bids from Manchester United for Koulibaly towards the end of last year and they have received the same response with their latest bid as mentioned above.
Revealed: Arsenal Target Will Leave Man City On THIS Condition
Manchester City winger Leroy Sane will reportedly leave the club this summer if he fails to sign a new deal according to the publication from popular media outlet Goal.
German international Sane has two years left on his current deal with the Citizens and it has been revealed that the club could sell him to prevent him from running down his contract which runs out at the end of 2021.
The former Schalke 04 player has been linked with major European sides like German champions Bayern Munich and North London giants Arsenal.
Leroy Sane and compatriot Ilkay Gundogan are in the same situation at Manchester City though the latter has one year left on his contract.
Both Sane and Gundogan are important members of the record-breaking Manchester City squad this season.
Manchester City won four trophies this season as they completed a clean sweep on the domestic front.
The Citizens won all the three major trophies on offer domestically in addition to the Community Shield.
Apart from the Community Shield, Manchester City also retained the Carabao Cup and the Premier League titles they won last season before adding the FA Cup title at the weekend with the 6-0 thrashing of fellow top flight side Watford.
Liverpool to lose "exceptional" striker in summer window
Former footballer Danny Mills has suggested that the English Premier League outfit Liverpool will be parting ways with one of their star strikers and England international Daniel Sturridge any moment from now.
With the summer transfer window set to be opened, it is expected that a number of Liverpool players will be leaving the club but manager Jurgen Klopp is yet to make any claim as regards that with emphasis only laid on the fact that most of the players will be staying at the Anfield.
However recent development has seen Belgium international Divock Origi improve in the ranking of strikers at the club.
Divock Origi was initially third in the ranking behind Daniel Sturridge and that seems to be changing after the feats in the course of the season, including assuring their qualification to the Champions League finals with his brace against Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona.
The former footballer, therefore, holds the opinion that Daniel Sturridge will not be able to cope with the situation and will seek to have more playing time outside Anfield.
He added that Daniel Sturridge has been an exceptional player for Liverpool but that can no longer be seen with the presence of Brazilian International Roberto Firmino who has won the heart of manager Jurgen Klopp.
Chelsea drop Luka Jovic interest for Ajax star
The English Premier League outfit Chelsea are set to drop their interest in German Bundesliga Luka Jovic as the summer transfer window approaches.
Reports claim that Luka Jovic has already agreed on a move to the Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid and could be set to leave the club as soon the summer window is opened.
Luka Jovic was able to give a good account of himself in the Europa League when the Frankfurt side faced Chelsea in the semi-finals and that was able to capture the attention of the Spanish side.
With Chelsea set to lose out on the Star Player, they are reportedly paying attention to Ajax star winger David Neres as an option for the next season.
However, it is yet to be seen if the West London outfit will be able to secure any player in this summer transfer window as a result of the transfer ban which has not been lifted.
The Blues seem positive that the transfer ban will be lifted as they have already approached the Court of Arbitration for Sport to tender their appeal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will have to pay the sum of £40 million to land the Ajax star who has impressed for the Dutch side this season and has been an important part of their success.
£55m star tells Liverpool to take the Champions League
The just-concluded English Premier League season remains one of the most competitive in its history as no winner was decided until the last match day.
There was a high level of competition between the Merseyside outfit Liverpool and Manchester City as the Citizens were meant to stay until the last day before securing the league title with just a point win.
This is the second consecutive time that Manchester City will win the Premier League title in a row after winning it ahead of the Reds team in the 2017/2018 season.
However, Kevin De Bruyne has sent a message to the Merseyside outfit, stating that he does not feel sorry for them because they would have done the same in their own case.
According to him, Manchester City are the best team in the English Premier League despite waiting until the last day to lift the trophy.
He, therefore, claims that Liverpool has got an opportunity to have their own share with the Champions League, hence he said they can have it.
After defeating Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona in the semi-finals Liverpool has set up a final clash against North London outfit Tottenham Hotspurs in the all-English clash.
A win for Liverpool will be a consolation to their title means this season.
Done Deal!!! Chelsea have found a replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta
The West London outfit Chelsea seem to have found a replacement for their star player Cesar Azpilicueta in Reece James ahead of the coming season
The West London outfit have got a need for reinforcement in the right full back which seems to be a work done already with Reece James as you will be asked to return to the club.
Reece James is currently impressing in his loan spell with Wigan and has already been seen by the West London outfit to be ready for a first-team football at the Stamford Bridge.
Reece James is already attracting a number of interest from both English Premier League clubs and championship sides which would make it difficult for the West London outfit to be able to retain him at the club.
However, Reece James will come into the Stamford Bridge as a new signing in the next season knowing that Chelsea will not be allowed to register any player in the summer transfer window as a result of the transfer ban that has been handed to them.
Meanwhile, manager Maurizio Sarri has already hinted that a number of players would be asked to return to the club for the coming season
PSG not giving up on N'Golo Kante
The emerging report hints that French Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain are back in full hunt for France international and Chelsea powerhouse N'Golo Kante in the summer transfer window.
The World Cup winner has been a major strength of the West London outfit Chelsea but the development at the Stamford Bridge which saw him lose his natural role to Jorginho sparked speculations that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season.
the formal Leicester City man has therefore attracted a number of big interest from the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
However, PSG seem to be more in the interest of the star player and are set to return with a bid that might be difficult for the Blues to reject.
Although, it is expected that the West London outfit will reject any offer for the star player as they will not be able to replace him as a result of the transfer ban on the club.
It is therefore yet to be seen if Chelsea at the end of the season will reject the offers from his country home as PSG seek to fulfill their Champions League dreams.
Revealed: Man Utd Will Sign Top Players THIS Summer
Premier League giants Manchester United will sign quality players this summer according to the agent of star forward Romelu Lukaku.
In a chat with Sky Sports, Federico Pastorello told reporters that the Red Devils will be able to attract top players to the club despite missing out on Champions League football for next season.
Pastorello is the agent of Belgian all-time topscorer Lukaku who has been linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer.
Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan have registered an interest in him according to recent reports.
Romelu Lukaku has spent two years at Manchester United but that has not stopped him from being linked with an exit.
He signed for Manchester United from Merseyside giants Everton in the summer of 2017 in a deal reported to be around £75m thus making him the second most expensive signing in the history of the club behind French midfielder Paul Pogba who sealed a then world-record fee of £89m to Manchester United from Italian champions Juventus in 2016.
Lukaku and Manchester United will miss out on Champions League football after finishing in a disappointing sixth position at the end of the Premier League season.
The Red Devils will campaign in the Europa League for next season.
Deal On: Arsenal Target Talks Up Summer Return To Europe
Dalian Yifang forward Yannick-Ferreira Carrasco has talked up the possibility of moving back to Europe this summer.
The Belgian international attacker was close to returning to European football during the winter transfer window but Premier League giants Arsenal were unable to agree on a deal for him.
Carrasco spoke about the botched move to Arsenal in a chat with The Sun.
According to him, the president was not in full support of a proposed transfer back to Europe but a move is most likely this summer.
Arsenal were keen on taking Yannick-Ferreira Carrasco on loan in January until the end of this season with the option to make the transfer a permanent one this summer but the move didn't materialize.
The Gunners were rebuffed by his Chinese Super League outfit.
Yannick-Ferreira Carrasco played for French Ligue 1 giants AS Monaco and Spanish club Atletico Madrid before moving to Dalian Yifang last year.
He was part of the Atletico Madrid squad that reached the Champions League final in 2016 before they were beaten by city rivals Real Madrid on penalties after both sides had played 1-1 after regulation time and extra time.
Carrasco scored the only goal of the game for Atletico Madrid but it was not enough for the Rojiblancos.
Revealed: Man Utd Defender Reveals Estudiantes Desire
Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has revealed that he would like to play for Argentine club Estudiantes before the end of his career.
The utility player made the admission in an interview with ESPN Estudiantes.
Marcos Rojo plays his country football for two-time world champions Argentina and he can play either as a centre back or as a left-back.
The Manchester United defender has battled with fitness and form at the club in recently and he's said to be one of the players in danger of being transferred out of the Theatre of Dreams this summer.
Rojo was on the payroll of Estudiantes until 2010 when he moved to Russian Premier League outfit Spartak Moscow.
Deal On: Arsenal Target Reveals Premier League Desire
His football journey continued from Russia to Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon.
The Argentine defender became a Manchester United player in 2014 having joined from the aforementioned Sporting Lisbon.
He has had to contend with injuries in recent seasons and was limited to a handful of appearances as Manchester United suffered a disappointing season.
The Argentine player has made over 100 appearances for Manchester United during his five-year stay at Old Trafford.
His status as a Manchester United player for next season is uncertain at the moment but he'll definitely play Europa League football next season if he stays after the Red Devils failed to qualify for Champions League football.

My logged dives #1382-85
Dan Miles got in touch recently to ask if we would accompany him and Molly Carter on Dan's 100th ever dive. The timing was over the weekend before eid break, not ideal for us, but we're never sure of our eid holidays until the last minute. In the event, it turned out my school was indeed out for the whole week (so this trip comprised the most fun part of our eid vacation) but for Dan and Molly, it turned out their anticipated Tue, Wed, Thu holiday was shortened to just two days, Wed and Thu, for most schools in the UAE. Good thing we went diving when we did.
We made arrangements to spend the weekend at Nomad Ocean Adventures, and Dan's 100th dive was our second on the Friday, which happened to be at Lima Rock. Molly and Dan had prepared a banner for the occasion which they unfurled as we descended on the dive. Fortunately I had a camera handy, or perhaps that's why they asked me along :-)
Dives on Lima Rock can be challenging. This one was not bad for current but there was enough of one to make us be careful as we explored the point, but not enough to lure the fishes in great numbers. We saw a few jacks and batfish, but no barracudas or devil rays, no eagle rays darting out suddenly as sometimes happens. Molly did quite well with current and buoyancy (I certified her recently and blogged it here: http://vancesdiveblogs.blogspot.ae/2014/11/certified-molly-carter-padi-open-water.html).
Our first dive of the day was actually our best. It was off Ras Morovi, north side. Brad proposed to drop in to the east of the bay and lead the divers west into the bay and then north at the far side. Bobbi and I did the same except that we started our dive heading east to deeper water as far as what I call the quarry, an alcove that looks like it was quarried from the surrounding rock. It's on the video. We found a honeycomb moray on that side and a marble ray under a rock. Back into the bay we passed over table coral and found a feather-tail ray in the sand. On the way to the surface we found many crayfish in the rocks, including one wandering about outside his lair. Nice dive.
The next day our first dive was at Lulu Island, which is sometimes home to eagle rays, but on this day there was not much home apart from a scorpion fish and some morays. The current was strong as we rounded the ridge and the dive was not all that pleasant although the last of it where we escaped the current in the coral gardens to the south of the island was pretty for diving. I'm not sure if I'll put the video up at YouTube; thinking about it, but not right now.
Our last dive was at Ras Hamra. It was a lovely dive as you can see from the video below and included an encounter with a circling turtle.

While other children were learning to read and playing outside, six year old Ayan* was left behind. Blind in one eye, and visually impaired in the other, she urgently needed an operation to correct her vision. Yet when her mother took her to the hospital, the answer was always the same: pay US$1,200 or no treatment. Unable to afford the illegal fees, her mother had repeatedly contacted the Ministry of Health for assistance, but they had never responded.
"It's a common problem in Azerbaijan", says Kanan from our centre, "institutions are often reluctant to help people who don't have money or powerful connections."
Ayan's mother heard about our centre from a neighbour who had attended an outreach event. She contacted us asking for help.
Working with her to write another letter to the ministry, we also submitted an application on her behalf. Seeing she was not alone, the ministry started to act. Officials contacted the family, saying they would send Ayan to hospital to operate on her blind eye. A year later, she underwent her second operation, successfully treating both eyes. Today, she can see without any difficulty.
"We want to make sure that all citizens – regardless of their position – get the treatment they deserve," says Kanan. "We're campaigning for better health funding to reduce the temptation to request bribes, and continuing our outreach events to help citizens understand and uphold their rights."
* Name has been changed.

The largest island of the lagoon archipelago of Grado hosts the county seat with the same name and since 1936 it has been connected to the mainland by a moveable bridge. A beach with very fine sand facing south makes the "Island of Sun" an exclusive destination that has won the Bandiera Blu (Blue Flag) award for the past 24 years.
Grado has two large beaches: the main lido runs alongside Viale Regina Elena, which then stretches out until it reaches Grado Pineta and Punta di Barbacale, for a total of more than 3 km of beach.
Another beach can be found in the most westerly part of the island, with a pier measuring approximately 600 metres that goes from a dam right up to the western edge of the historical town centre. In the most easterly area, apart from Grado Pineta, it is important to mention the Grado Golf Club, a vast golf course which is magnificently surrounded by the lagoon landscape, two Holiday villages and a few Camp sites.
Since 1237, every year, on the first Sunday in July, a long queue of boats festively adorned with flags travels from Grado entering the lagoon until it reaches the islet of Barbana, where there is a shrine where a precious and miraculous statue of Our Lady is kept and which was driven there by the force of the waves. So, for more than 700 years, the inhabitants of Grado thank the Virgin Mary for having saved them from a terrible epidemic: this is called the "Perdon di Barbana"(The Forgiveness of Barbana), one of the most ancient and heart-felt local traditions. Barbana is one of the largest of the hundreds of islands that are scattered throughout the Grado Lagoon.
The Grado Lagoon stretches out for more than 12 thousand hectares and it extends towards west to blend with the lagoon in Marano, which is the most beautiful within the entire Mediterranean basin, with its coastal belt measuring 25 kilometres long. A maze of canals and valleys among the "mote", as the inhabitants of Grado call the small lagoon islets, covered with reeds and bushes. A timeless place, a realm of water, wind and silence. It is possible to visit the lagoon by hiring a boat or by availing of the taxi-boat service.
The Valle Cavanata Regional Natural Reserve is situated at the far east end of the Grado Lagoon, in the district of Fossalon. The reserve was originally used as a fishing valley and it was founded in 1996; it stretches out over an area measuring approximately 327 hectares. Valle Cavanata is situated very near to Grado and it can be easily reached by bike, thanks to a convenient cycle path. Inside the reserve, it is possible to see many types of natural environments. The Reserve is open all year round and interesting guided tours can be organised if booked in advance.
WHAT TO VISIT IN FRIULI The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region is very interesting from the point of view of its history and landscape. The presence of beaches, splendid mountain landscapes and cities rich in culture, make Friuli-Venezia Giulia a tourist destination suitable for winter/summer sports enthusiasts, excursions and visits to art heritage cities. One of the most interesting from a historical and cultural viewpoint is Trieste. A visit to these places is not to be missed: Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, the main town square; the Faro della Vittoria (Victory Lighthouse), in memory of the victims of the First World War; Miramare and Duino Castles; the Risiera di San Sabba Civic Museum, evidence of one of the most darkest periods of human history and Basovizza, a district in the municipality of Trieste, sadly known for its foiba. Other historically important sites in the region include: The Ponte del Diavolo (The Devil's Bridge) in Cividale del Friuli, an important Lombard inheritance; the Military Memorial of Redipuglia, one of the largest military cemeteries in the world dedicated to war victims; The Basilica of Aquileia, near Grado; Piazza Libertà and Piazza San Giacomo in Udine and Gorizia Castle.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia is an extremely rich region also from a naturalistic point to view. Ideal for those who love the sea, there are the renowned seaside resorts of Grado and Lignano Sabbiadoro or, near Trieste, there is Sistiana bay and the Karst Plateau, known for its white cliffs dropping sheer into the sea. The Friuli region represents an excellent choice also for enthusiasts of winter sports, hiking and trekking. The Carnia area, in the Carnic Alps is also a well-known destination. Other areas which are often visited are Ampezzo, Piancavallo, Sauris and Tarvisio.

Reframing CSR through a shared vision and common purpose
Once the preserve of the United Nations, leading NGOs and scientists, sustainable development is increasingly recognized as the legitimate responsibility of businesses. Heeding the call, businesses are seeking socially responsible solutions that help the planet and its inhabitants, via policies, programs and partnerships. But employees want to be part of the solution, too — they're willing, committed and paying attention.
With the welcome development of integrated reporting for environmental, social and governance performance within financial reporting, more companies will join the ranks of behemoths like Unilever, which ended quarterly reporting of profits to focus on long-term sustainability. Those organizations that are creative, committed and consistently visible when it comes to sustainable development, alongside innovation and technology, will be more successful in the years leading up to 2030. Theirs will be a culture of workplace satisfaction and collaboration that serves today for a better business tomorrow.

A collision between a Long Island Rail Road commuter train and a livery cab on January 7, 2015, left the train's engineer, the cab's passenger and the at-fault driver injured badly enough to require hospital treatment. The passenger appears to have sustained the most severe injuries in the crash at the street-level railroad crossing on Straight Path, while the train crewmember suffered a shoulder injury.
The grade crossing for the heavily used tracks between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma has arms and stop lights that activate automatically when a train approaches. News reports indicate that the gates had lowered before the accident but the cab driver went around the barriers in an apparent attempt to beat the train. The man's miscalculations of the time and distance he had to clear the intersection led to a crash that resulted in major injuries to himself and two others, according to the news reports.
Although I live and practice in Virginia Beach, I'm writing about this commuter rail accident west of New York City for several reasons. The first is that my personal injury law firm colleagues and I have long advocated for the development and installation of automated systems that keep vehicles off railroad crossings when trains approach. Many of the best technologies appear to be in place near the Wyandach LIRR station, but every case involves unique facts. Investigators much confirm that activation of the lights and gates happened as they should have and that no defects in the equipment contributed to the crash.
Second, I have represented railroad workers hurt on the job for three decades. The physical safety of engineers, conductors, brakemen and other crewmembers is one of my primary interests, but it often gets overlooked when considering train-car collisions. As the wreck on Long Island illustrates, rail employees often suffer injuries due to the recklessness and negligence of other people.
Last, as the Tide light rail system in Norfolk, VA, increases its ridership and, likely, reach into Virginia Beach, the likelihood of crossing collisions like the one on Long Island will increase. No measures can ever prevent every accident, but focusing on mistakes made elsewhere, as well as the solutions implemented, can improve the safety of train and rail commuters and drivers in my own backyard.

As we approach the holiday season, my anxiety level is already going up by the day.
The thought of hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, shopping, wrapping, cooking, baking, school activities, celebrating birthdays, cleaning AND preparing to baby #5 to arrive at the end of the year, including twice weekly non-stress tests, is making my head spin!
I normally enjoy all of the preparation, but this year I just want to skip it all, hunker down and wait for my new baby to arrive.
I can't do that, of course. So instead, I'm going to simplify things as much as I can. I'm also going pray a lot that everything goes smoothly and that I don't go into labor early.
Here are my 6 Ways I'm Simplifying Christmas:
Heat & Eat Dinners: We usually host all of the holidays and I make a big sit down dinner for each one. This year, I'm taking a local butcher shop up on their offer to purchase heat & eat holiday dinners. They are offering a full Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people at a fairly reasonable price. I'm hoping they do the same thing for Christmas! It will cost a little more than if I cooked everything from scratch, but the time (and stress) I save on shopping and prepping will be well worth the extra money!
Combining Christmas Celebrations: Not long after our oldest son was born, we realized that it was far easier for us to host all holiday celebrations rather than travel to a relative's house with all of the necessary baby/child gear. We have the only grandchildren on both sides of the family, so this has worked well for everyone. For most holidays we alternate which side of the family we celebrate with, but we settled on Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with my husband's family several years ago. This year, however, with Christmas being one week away from my scheduled c-section, we've decided to celebrate with both sides of the family on Christmas Day. This gives my husband and I Christmas Eve to celebrate with just our children and only one day that my house needs to presentable for guests, one meal to worry about and one gathering to clean up after! (This sounds so wonderful, it might be the start of a new tradition! 🙂 )
Paper/Plastic Products: I try to be "green" whenever I can, which means using our regular dishes and flat wear when we have company. However, I only have table settings for eight people and with both sides of our family visiting on Christmas Day I don't have enough dishes or flat wear. I could borrow dishes. etc. from my parents, but the ease of cleanup with paper and plastic is too big of a benefit to for me to want to consider anything else. So, I'm bucking the "green" trend and going disposable!
Making Candies Instead of Cookies: Every year for as long as I can remember, I've made dozens and dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies to give to family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Some recipes, such as ginger snaps and sugar cookies, I make year in and year out and each year I try a few new recipes as well. I also make one or two candies, such as fudge.
But let's face it, cookies can be time consuming. The time spent measuring, mixing, rolling or shaping, decorating, baking and cleaning adds up quickly! I really want to continue this tradition, so I'm going to simplify it this year only making two types of cookies (gingersnaps – my husband's and my father-in-law's favorite and another that I haven't decided on yet) and several types of candies which generally only require measuring, mixing and cleaning up afterwards. I'm thinking a few types of fudge, chocolate peppermint bark and these addicting candies that I made last year.
No Elf on the Shelf: When we bought our Elf on the Shelf, life was much easier. We only had two children and they couldn't read or write. Now life is busy and exhausting and my older two can read and write. If you're not familiar with the Elf on the Shelf, he is one of Santa's helpers and he reports to Santa each night on how well the children have been behaving. When he returns from the North Pole, he finds a new place to observe the children from. Well, last year I forgot to move him more nights that I remembered. And you are probably wondering what children that can read and write have to do with this Elf. Well, my children like to give him notes and they expect him to write back!
This may sound selfish, but this year I simply don't have the energy for the Elf and he is going to have to stay packed away in the attic. Sorry Greenie!
Scaling Back on Helping With Classroom Parties: In the past I would always volunteer to assist with my children's classroom parties. I would try to make a festive recipe that I found on Pinterest, such as these Santas that I made a few years ago, in addition to going into the classroom to help set up, clean up and do whatever the teacher needed help with.
This year I still want to assist, but on a smaller scale, so I'm offering to send in paper products or juice boxes. Next year, I'll resume making my festive goodies and going into the class to help out.
Please note: If you are already feeling stressed out about the holidays, it's okay for you to simplify things too! Sometimes we need to put our needs and the needs of our immediate family first. That may cause you to have some guilty feelings, but it's okay. You need to do what feels right for you! I support you 100%!
Are you simplifying Christmas this year? I'd love to hear how you are doing it!by

Pelicans stand guard at the Sentry Rock at the entrance to Dana Point Harbor in Southern California,
I have been expressing myself through various art media throughout my life. When I began, I worked in traditional media of water colors, oils and acrylics. Then I moved into photography and now I combine digital photography as the jumping off point, turning them into digital paintings and taking creative liberties with their reality. I moved to California from the East Coast about 20 years ago and have been re-energized with the subjects that are readily available all year...the coastline, surf, beaches, marinas, gardens, flowers and wine country...all the inspiration I could ever need here in one state.

Do credit repair and loan consolidation work?
Senai Haftu
Nov. 24 2008
The financial crisis threatening the world economy these days started about two years ago when the banks in the USA and elsewhere started lending money to any one without checking carefully to see if the borrowers can make payments successfully.
They have a name for it, it is called subprime mortgage crisis. The subprime mortgage crisis is a huge financial crisis triggered by a rapid decline in housing prices and everything that was connected to mortgage payment failure and foreclosures in the United States. This caused a domino effect across the financial markets throughout the world banking systems. This in effect caused investments related to housing prices to go down fast putting the well being of the financial institutions in a greater risk.
As a result of this, many people throughout the world lost their houses and the number of foreclosures sky rocketed. The banking system became fragile and many of them were bankrupt or their governments are trying to rescue them.
Many lives are destroyed as a result of the financial crisis and most people are desperate to save their houses and their investments. They will do whatever it takes to get out of this financial mess. Desperate people take desperate measures. That is where we come to another ugly problem, credit cards.
The financial crisis is not limited to housing; it is all over the economy from the price of gasoline to the price of food. The price of everything is at all time high and people are using their credit cards like never before. Many people have maxed their credit cards and a lot of them are not making any payments ruining their credit and credit scores. When you have a bad credit score or you are delinquent on your payments, the doors to banks, credit unions and other lenders slam shut in your face.
There are companies and individuals preying on this desperation taking advantage of peoples financial problems. They promise people they will fix or repair their credit report so that they can get a loan to buy a car, insurance, home mortgage and even to get a job if they pay huge fees. They also offer loan consolidation, bill consolidation, business debt consolidation, federal direct consolidation loans, student loan consolidation and other debt consolidation plans. Most of these companies and individuals making these false promises are scammers. There is no easy or quick fix for bad credit history or credit report. You can improve your credit report but it takes time, self discipline and lots of hard work. If you try to take the short cut to repair your credit report, most likely you will end up in more crisis than before.
Dont fall victim to those who are lurking in the shadows waiting for you to slip and will pretend to help you get up. They are not there to help you with your financial crisis or repair your credit report; they are trying to take advantage of you when you are most venerable and desperate.
The following are things you can do to identify the good ones from the scammers:
- Do not pay any money for any service before hand.
- The company or individual did not tell you your rights and what you can do for free by yourself.
- The company or individual tells you not to contact any of the three major national credit reporting companies directly.
- The company or individual tells you to lie or create false identity.
- The company or individual promises to fix everything regardless of its accuracy.
When you are dealing with a company or individual about your credit report you should pay close attention to the above points. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
