Brunette Escapes with Escada to Ljubljana
What to Wear in Ljubljana
Are you ready for little escape with Escada and me to Ljubljana? Yes, Ljubljana, that little green European city, that has been hiding in the centre of Europe in a small country named Slovenia. Escape with me to this charming little city. Oh and get your credit card out, because I'm sure you will want to book your plane ticket before you even finish reading this post.
This blog post will be slightly different than others before. This time I decided to share a little bit about Ljubljana and why you always see me in more or less the same streets. Although don't expect this post to be an entirely travel post, you know I just have to include fashion and share some outfit inspirations. This time all from Escada.
Actually, the idea for this blog post came from Escada. Remember my visit to Escada's showroom in Paris? In case you forgot about it, check it here. Anyway, I joined the #ESCADAescape and picked the perfect outfit a fashionista should wear when coming to Ljubljana.
As said, Ljubljana is a European city, the capital of Slovenia. Yes, that same country where I and the current first lady of USA were born. And the only European country with the word LOVE in its name. And guess what, that love in the name is there for a good reason. But more about that in a special blog post in which I will share the most romantic places in Slovenia. Including the famous Bled lake and road that looks like a heart in the middle of the vineyards. Whatsoever, this time is all about my escape with Escada to Ljubljana.
Well, I just borrowed this line from the Ljubljana's mayor who keeps saying Ljubljana is the most beautiful place in the world. Surely, Ljubljana can't compete to Paris, Vienna or Rome, but it doesn't step far behind. Actually, with its rich architecture and Austrian influence, Ljubljana looks like mini Vienna. Whereas the ancient Roman influence and Roman remains all over the city give us a glimpse of Rome. As it goes to Paris, believe it or not, Ljubljana can be as much as romantic as Paris. Although a lot cleaner. Luckily for me as I don't need to clean the trash from the streets with photoshop. You know what I mean. Neither erasing the people, as the streets of Ljubljana, that is my favourite streets, are always empty.
You probably already know which are my favourite spots in Ljubljana. Just like in Paris the river separates two banks. And everyone has a favourite bank. Although I do like to walk by the left bank of the river Ljubljanica and cross it over the Fish Footbridge (that glass bridge Ribja brv), the Cobbler's Bridge (Čevljarski most) or the famous Tripple Bridge (Tromostovje), it's quite obvious I love the old part of Ljubljana the most.
But before I share what my favourite spots on the Right bank are, a few words about what to wear when coming to Ljubljana.
Even though Ljubljana is not one of the most fashionable cities in Europe, you should think about chic and elegant city style when coming to Ljubljana. So what to wear when travelling to Ljubljana to look like IT girl from abroad that every girl from Ljubljana will envy you and not like a typical tourist?
In short, classic pieces that never go out of the fashion combined with the IT pieces. Like the double breasted coat with the track pants and metallic sandals, or camel coat with over the knee boots and silk dress. And of course black coat with fur collar. As it goes for the colours, go for black, white, camel and a pop of vibrant colour for beautiful selfies.
Not to say anything more, check the EDIT below to find some of the outfits you should wear when visiting Ljubljana.
Ps. You can get all of these clothes on Escada.com or in Escada boutiques.
Keep reading to find out more about the outfits that I'm wearing in these photos.
Finally, back to my favourite spots in Ljubljana. As said, my favourite part of Ljubljana is on the right bank of Ljubljanica. Right under the Ljubljana castle. Walking on the streets in this old part of Ljubljana is like going back in time. This is also the part of the city where you can meet the most sophisticated and elegant people in Ljubljana. Although truth to be told, you will have to come on Sunday or now in December, as these streets tend to be more or less empty most of the time.
Anyway, whenever you come to Ljubljana, you must walk through my favourite streets and stop on my favourite squares. Ps. Don't forget to say hello if you see me posing there.
Starting with my favourite embankment, the Cankar embankment. Throughout the year and especially now, this is the most vivid part of Ljubljana. People meet here for a drink or a snack in the afternoon to enjoy the view and the sun. All this noise, crowd and even the fur on the chairs and the heat coming from the heaters by the tables, make you feel like you were sitting at home by the fireplace in the winter or by the pool at the backyard in the summer.
The best outfit for this part of the city? Depends where you are. If you are walking from the Triple Bridge toward the Fish Footbridge, you should wear casual chic outfit. Like black loose coat and dark jeans. But if you decide to sit on the cosy chairs by the river, then you should wear something in camel. Or Boho chic! A classic wrap camel coat like mine from Escada and a beret on a cold winter day. This outfit is coming on blog soon.
I get a commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post.
Continuing with my favourite street, the Stritarjeva ulica (Stritar's Street). There are three reasons why I love this street so much. If you follow me on my Instagram and read this post over here, you must know the first reason. Yes, it has to do with my favourite delight, the ice cream. Here on this street, you will find the best ice cream in Ljubljana. The second reason why I love this street is the view of the Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) and Ljubljana castle. And finally, because it connects two of my other favourite parts in Ljubljana.
I actually wore all of these outfits on this street. And they all look stunning under the Ljubljana castle and this neo-renaissance building named Kresija on the left and Filp's Dvorec on the right. However, I'm adding the outfit I wore just another day, the camel coat, blue jeans and sneakers. And umbrella of course. By the way, the weather in Ljubljana is just like the weather in Paris.
Even though it's not my favourite photoshoot place in Ljubljana, I must mention the Ljubljana Central Market (Ljubljanska Osrednja Tržnica) before I cross the river and share my favourite spots on the left bank too. Although not exactly because of the groceries. While you can find the quality local produce there, the vegetables and fruit is not the main reason you should visit this place. What it should really catch your eye is the venue itself. Designed by the most famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik.
I already wrote about what to wear when shopping at the Ljubljana Central Market over here. However, to recap, what you should wear to the Ljubljana local market is a casual yet elegant outfit. A camel coat, shoulder bag and blue jeans will be perfect. I wore the wrap Escada camel coat.
If you walk down the Stritar's Street, toward this beautiful fountain, the Robba Founitn (Robov vodnjak) you will step onto my favourite square, the Town Square. No other square would entitle the diversity of Ljubljana better than the Town Square. What you will find here is this mix of different architectural styles (from gothic, baroque and modern) and connection of urban and rural split by the Robba Fountain. But most of all you will find a romantic place for selfies.
While the Town Square is an authentic square, a mix of classic style and modern touch, there is no other better outfit you could wear here than a classic double-breasted coat and the track pants. Ps. Be sure to check more about this outfit over here. I probably don't need to say how much I love these Escada track pants, do I?
Wait, there is another outfit, the classic camel skirt (again from Escada), double-breasted coat and over the knee boots. But more about this outfit another time.
There are around 30 bridges across Ljubljanica in Ljubljana. Honestly, I haven't even seen all of them yet, and I don't know if my favourite bridges are the most beautiful bridges in Ljubljana, but I'm quite certain you will like them all as much as I do once standing there.
Although you don't see me often on this bridge in my outfit photos, these three bridges are undoubtedly the most famous ones. Also, the Triple bridge or Tromostovje will take you straight to Prešeren Square, which is one of my favourite spots on the left bank of Ljubljanica.
You can't leave Ljubljana without crossing Ljubljanica over this bridge. The view from this Fish Footbridge (Ribja brv) is in one word thrilling. Ps. If you want to look stunning in your selfie and not letting Ljubljana overshine you then go for black and light blue instead of camel.
More about this outfit is coming up soon. Meanwhile, keep reading to see the most romantic spot on the left embankment.
Lastly, the Cobbler's Bridge (Šuštarski most). Frankly, I don't even know why I like this bridge. Certainly not because this would be a great shooting spot. It's either too dark or too light to take photos here. In fact, if you want to look beautiful in the photos while standing on this bridge, you should wear something bright. Yes, like this stunning yellow silk dress from Escada that I'm wearing here.
Even though the right river bank is my favourite bank in Ljubljana, I have my favorite spots on the left bank too. My favourite parts on this side of the bank are the Prešeren Square (Prešernov trg), two streets that you can reach from this square, the Kongres square, the Opera and Balet House at the Cankar Square and Jakopič Promenade at famous Tivoli Garden.
But before I head on my favourite squares, streets and promenade on the left bank, let me go back to the yellow dress from Escada and share, in my opinion, the most romantic spot on the left river bank of Ljubljanica.
This spot located on Hribar Embankment. And the view from here is romantic at any time of the day.
More about this outfit is coming up in a blog post about what to wear for a romantic date this winter.
I just realized I'm taking you on the rounds and you would probably get using my lines instead of the map. Still, don't worry a map of Ljubljana with the highlighted spots is at the end of this post.
Nevertheless, there are still few spots that I want to share with you in this post. Firstly, the Prešeren Square. Wait, let's leave this square for this post over here. Given its holiday season and this square is decorated with millions of lights now, it would be more appropriate to share a photo at the dawn when the lights are still on, and this square looks like a wonderland. Be sure to follow me on my Instagram to see my snaps from this square.
Heading North-east from the Prešeren Square, right in between the Urbanc House (ps. you can shop Escada there) and the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation is Miklošič Street (Miklošičeva ulica). I like this street for two reasons. Firstly, because when wearing a right outfit (blue, black, red, green and off-white work best), this can be a good shooting place and secondly because of, wait, let's leave this reason for the 5 Answers – 5 Questions post.
As said, one can take good photos here only when wearing the right outfit. For me, this outfit comes in black, blue, red and white. This black short coat with white fur collar from Escada was my best outfit on this street ever. Check how I styled it with a faux fur hat over here.
This street connects the two main squares, the Prešeren Square and Congress Square with Park Zvezda (Star Park). The street itself is nothing special but I really like that little turn when I walk down the street toward the Prešeren Square.
What to wear on this street then? I tried many outfits, yet the Escada wrap camel coat, with a pink pleated midi skirt and over the knee boots is my favourite.
This street is always the first place on my shooting list. Why? Because of the classical music that comes from the Slovenian Philharmonic across the street.
Last and least in this blog post, the Congress Square and Star Park (Park Zvezda). I should probably add this square to my list of the most romantic places in Ljubljana. Sitting on the benches in this parc and is quite romantic. Especially on the bench under the little pavilion. Anyway, these days there is something even more romantic in this parc. Yes, the ice rink. Ps. Be sure to check my highlighted Insta Story to see me skating there. By the way, I wore the same Escada coat that I'm wearing in this post here. It turned out to be just perfect for figure skating under the stars.
I know, you could easily get lost following my list. Especially if you have been in Ljubljana only through my photos and snaps. Yet to make sure you don't get lost once you visit Ljubljana, I'm adding the city map with all the places I wrote about marked. Also, I added the photos of my Escada outfits to make sure you look like a fashionista and not a tourist when visiting Ljubljana. You know what I mean.
Like I said, this was just a glimpse of my favourite spots of Ljubljana. I'm leaving the most romantic and most beautiful spots for another time. Don't forget to follow me on my Instagram to see my little Escada escape to the Ljubljana Castle, the Skyscraper, Prešeren square, Jakopič promenade, Opera and Ballet, and the ice rink at the Congress Square. Also, be sure to check all these outfits in the special outfit blog post (first here at the Prešeren Square) (and second here from Slovenska Street) that are on my blog now or coming up in next few days. And shop my Escada outfit on Escada.com. By the way, have you visited Ljubljana already?

A smaller version of our reversible pocket squares, perfect for little gentlemen. Part of the sustainable fashion movement, this 100% cotton square utilizes fabric remnants from our ties: providing a perfect match, and leaving nothing on the cutting room floor. Each square varies slightly in size, but averages about 6-7" square, providing a petite fold that can fit boys' size 4-12.
Since ties need to be cut on a bias (diagonally) for the best drape, a lot of fabric wastage is typical. We engineer new products from our tie cut-offs to keep as much fabric out of landfills as possible. Waste not, want not! Each square is handmade in the USA, and a little bit unique in size, but averages about 6-7" square when unfolded.
• 100% Cotton
• Reversible
• Due to sustainability methods used, size varies, but averages 6-7" square when unfolded.
• Lovingly handmade in the USA.
• Multiples are available! Please send me a message.
Dry clean only. Iron with a little steam when necessary.

Heather Abrigo authored an article for 401(k) Advisor titled, "The New "Norm of DOL Investigations: What Has Changed and What Is Coming?" Heather discusses the recent changes over the last 18 months in Department of Labor (DOL) investigations and how the shift in focus is affecting plan fiduciaries.
Previous DOL investigations focused on timely deposits of deferrals and ascertaining who the fiduciaries were and whether or not they had fulfilled their duties. Recently there have been increased investigations into plan investments, the share classes of such investments, how plan fees and expenses are paid and ERISA disclosures notices. This change is particularly evident on the west coast.
Heather encourages plan fiduciaries to make sure that they are provided with and understand adequate disclosures, and conduct an internal review before turning over documents in preparation for a DOL investigation. Such internal reviews can uncover problems that can be corrected and explained to the DOL, and determine whether expert assistance is needed.

Jese living the dream
on December 25, 2013
Jese Rodriguez claims he was "fulfilling a dream" after he scored a late winner in Real Madrid's 3-2 win over Valencia on Sunday.
Carlo Ancelotti's side had taken the lead twice through Angel Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo, only to be pegged back on each occasion by Pablo Piatti and Jeremy Mathieu.
But as the match at the Mestalla looked to be heading for a stalemate, Jese popped up with a goal which has kept Madrid five points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona.
"I was looking for Zidane in the celebrations as his support is a big influence for me," Jese explained after the match. "He and the coach give me a lot of love and Zidane is a big reason why I stayed at the club."

The Spirit of Antichrist in 2020 By Randy Nettles and Pete Garcia Well, it is…
Why Must There be a Third Temple?
Why Must There be a Third Temple?
By Jonathan C. Brentner
President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has sparked much talk of the third temple. The people of Israel have already shown great support for a new temple; now the excitement for this is even stronger than before in light of President Trump's announcements.
Is this renewed anticipation in itself prophetic? Yes it is. Scripture tells us there will be such a temple at least by the midpoint of the coming tribulation. As such, the indicators pointing to its construction tell us that this time is getting closer.
We will start with the prophecy and then explain what it means.
The Prophecy
In Matthew 24 Jesus said this about an event that will take place during the tribulation, "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place . . ." (v. 15). Here Jesus refers to another prophecy where Daniel tells us that the antichrist will put an end to sacrifices at the temple for the second half of the seventieth week, or the time of tribulation (Dan. 9:27).
Revelation 11:2 records the instructions the apostle John received to measure the temple during the time of the tribulation. It's curious that the voice tells him not to measure to outer courts of the temple because "it has been given to the Gentiles." This fits perfectly with the proposed placement of the temple on the temple mount with the Al-Aqsa Mosque currently occupying the place where the outer courts would be.
Based on these prophecies, the Jews will build their third temple before the half-way point of the seven year tribulation. This will happen to fulfill the prophecy of Jesus regarding the antichrist's desolation of the temple.
Has Jesus' Prophecy Already Happened?
Some believe the prophecies of Matthew 24 happened in 70 AD when Titus and the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. They claim this event fulfilled Jesus' prediction regarding the "abomination of desolation" (v. 15) regarding the temple as well as His second coming, which they believe also happened at that time.
However, this does not take into account the writing of five books of the Bible after 70 AD that do not mention anything about the Lord's return. The book of Revelation, written in about 95 AD, describes in detail the Lord's return and the tribulation as future events. This date comes primarily from Irenaeus, who grew up in the church at Smyrna and was mentored in the faith by a disciple of the Apostle John. This timeframe is also confirmed by many internal evidences in Jesus' messages to the churches in chapters 2-3.
In addition, both the apostle Paul and John refer to Jesus killing the antichrist when He returns (2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 19:20). Titus, the Roman general, not only survived destroying the temple, he eventually became emperor over Rome.
There is no mention in history or in church history for that matter of Jesus' return happening in the first century AD. How could this happen without reference to in the first few centuries of the church? It's impossible. When Jesus returns to earth, it is something the entire world will witness (Rev. 1:7).
The Preparation for the Third Temple
If the tribulation were to start today, could Israel finish the huge task of constructing the temple in three and a half years? Yes. This is truer today than a decade ago because of all the work that a group in Israel has already done in preparation for its construction.
The Temple Institute spent the last thirty years researching all the many facets of the temple. Consider a few of their preparations:
– They spent $100K on the architectural drawings for the temple; one can even take a virtual tour of the temple design at the Temple Institute website.
– They started a school to train Levites to serve as priests in the new temple.
– They located the perfect red heifer for the purification sacrifice.
– They have constructed several of the furnishings for the temple including the altar.
– After years of research and finding the proper dyes, they have prepared the required garments for the priests and high priest.
A newly constituted Sanhedrin has also appointed a high priest to serve in the new temple. The picture at the top of the post shows him offering a sacrifice on the streets of Jerusalem.
In addition, the transportation department within the government of Israel recently announced it is planning the infrastructure to deal with the large crowds they expect will be coming to the newly constructed temple.
The Significance
What does this mean in terms of the nearness of the tribulation? It signifies that everything is ready for the building of the third temple as never before in history.
Many believe that the building of the temple will come about as the result of a peace treaty with Israel, perhaps the one initiated by the antichrist. If the covenant were to grant Israel permission to build its temple, t's a reasonable assumption it could be ready within three and a half years. The Temple Institute recently boasted that once they have the necessary access to the temple mount, they could begin offering sacrifices on the Temple Mount within a matter of weeks.
The early church father Irenaeus wrote about the antichrist defiling a future temple in Jerusalem. In his book Against Heresies, written about 180 AD, he wrote, "But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem." Isaac Newton, after studying the books of Daniel and Revelation, came to the belief that God would restore Israel as a nation someday and that the antichrist would defile their temple after that.
We now see prophecy coming to life before our eyes. If after all these years we see so much progress toward the building of the temple, can the tribulation be very far away?
And if that is getting ever closer, how much more so Jesus's return for us!

A REPORT warning that pilot fatigue could have disastrous consequences for urban areas is "extremely concerning" for residents in South Belfast, a local campaigner has claimed.
Haypark Avenue resident and member of Belfast City Airport Watch, Keith Burns, spoke out after the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) criticised proposals that could see pilots attempting to land planes after 22 hours of being awake.
BALPA have slammed the proposed European Union changes to flight guidelines as "unscientific and unsafe" and cited a catastrophic US air crash which was partially blamed on pilot fatigue as an example of the dangers the rules could present.
The disaster in Buffalo, New York, in 2009 saw a passenger plane slam into a house minutes before it was due to land at a nearby airport, resulting in the death of 50 people.
BALPA General Secretary Jim McAuslan claimed that if a tired pilot encountered similar difficulties on route to the George Best City Airport, the plane "could come down in Finaghy or somewhere similar".
Reacting to the stark warning, Mr Burns said locals already fed up with the noise from aircraft now had more to worry about.
"After reading the warning I am extremely concerned about the consequences of these new proposals," he told the South Belfast News.
"It's bad enough as it is living under the City Airport flight path, where planes fly so close it's almost possible to see the pilots' faces through the windows.
"This is an added worry, as there seems to be an attitude of 'let's get the pilots flying as many hours as possible' without a care for the consequences."
Mr Burns said peak flight times saw planes passing "every few minutes" and they're often loud enough to cause his home to "rattle".
"In the summer it's so bad that it even makes having a conversation difficult. This is just another worry we could do without."
His City Airport Watch colleague, Liz Fawcett, also spoke out strongly against the proposals.
"Many residents who live under the flight path are very worried about a possible accident." she said.
"The proposed rule changes would undoubtedly greatly exacerbate the potential safety risk for residents.
"We hope that local politicians will take up this issue and demand that the European Aviation Safety Agency drops this alarming proposal."

America's least favorite celebrity got into a bad pre-Grammy car wreck in L.A. on Saturday afternoon. Brown's representative blamed the accident on the paparazzi, whose "aggressive pursuit" of the singer caused him to lose control of his vehicle and hit a wall in an alley. Nobody was hurt, but the black Porsche was destroyed and had to be towed away. After the wreck, Brown headed to the Soho House in West Hollywood for a hug from Rihanna, who is always there for him, unfortunately.

I'm getting pretty frustrated with hairbands/bobbles & hair slides at the moment. I seem to put them in Lexie's hair, then i look again and disappeared. Her favourite trick is to fling them out of the pushchair when we are out, i wouldn't mind but they cost a fortune and its not very impressive when she looks like Annie either.
I decided to buy some ribbon, glue and grips and make my own. i was shocked at how little they cost to make considering i have been paying £1.50- £2 a clip. At least this way i not too fussed if they get lost an i can match her outfits up with bows too.
Here are some of my attempts so far, there not perfect but its a big learning curve im hoping to get smaller ribbon and test out a few more shapes of bows.

Longtime Macdoel resident, David "D.W." Thorne, 75, passed away peacefully at his home on Jan. 17, 2018.
Longtime Macdoel resident, David "D.W." Thorne, 75, passed away peacefully at his home on Jan. 17, 2018. He was in the company of his wife Cheri.
David was born and raised in Orange County, California. He fondly recalled the "pre-freeway and pre-Disneyland" days. But as the county grew, he felt trapped. He and his wife Nannette fled the city and established "Thorne Camp" in Macdoel in 1988. The first winter they lived in a 16 foot tipi on their property as they saved to build their home. He enjoyed views of Mt. Shasta, Sheep Mountain, and Mt. Hebron from their 80 acre wilderness sanctuary.
David had been involved in emergency, disaster and humanitarian work, both professionally and as a volunteer, his entire life. He was a graduate of the second EMT class ever offered in California. The majority of his professional background was in hospital and community health as a registered nurse. He has contributed countless hours as a volunteer with The Red Cross, search and rescue, and in emergency communications through amateur radio.
As a child, David enjoyed listening to shortwave radio broadcasts from all over the world. He later earned his amateur radio license KC6HOY in 1989. He soon upgraded his license to General, Advanced, and finally Extra Class in 2000. He also changed his callsign to K6SOJ. The suffix, "SOJ" , stands for "State of Jefferson."
David was very active with The Amateur Radio Emergency Service and The California Office of Emergency Services for many years. He helped train and coordinate amateur radio operators to be effective during fires and other emergencies. He truly lived the Boy Scout Motto "Be Prepared" and helped others to do the same.
David is survived by his wife, Cheri; his daughters, Leah and Lydia; and a total of 10 grandchildren and great grandchildren.
A private service will be held.
Cheri asks that in lieu of flowers, that donations are made in David's memory to your local animal shelter or rescue organization.

A scene of fog out the front window.
I started this 4×4 painting last winter, but it got messed up and didn't dry fast enough, so I did another version in purple.
The 4×4 went into a stack of unfinished work. I found it the the other day and it seemed like a fun project to finish it.

China Companies ICT Investment Priorities Identified by Kable in Insightful Study Available at MarketPublishers.com
14 Nov 2013 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – With spending on core technologies still remaining a major priority, Chinese companies are also likely invest large sums of money in advanced technologies in two years' time. The penetration rates of such state-of-the-art technologies as cloud computing and business intelligence (BI) solutions in China are predicted to increase considerably in the coming years.
One of the most important strategic objectives of Chinese firms is to improve security and privacy. 73% of local enterprises opt for investing in various analytics tools, and close to 80% of the firms in China are planning to spend on mobile device management technologies. The adoption of enterprise search tools is likely to increase in the next couple of years owing to domestic companies' planned investments in such technologies to make the search for content faster and easier. Presently, software as a service (SaaS), with an actual penetration rate of nearly 70%, is the most extensively used cloud solution in China. The demand for SaaS is expected to continue its upward trend through 2014.
Insightful research study "ICT priorities in China - Enterprise ICT investment plans to 2013" worked out by Kable presents insightful evaluation of the Chinese ICT priorities.
The report provides an in-depth analysis of the core technologies, which Chinese companies are investing in, describes the Chinese enterprises' ICT investment priorities and strategic objectives. The study examines the main factors influencing the ICT investments in each technology category, identifies the Chinese enterprises' investment priorities based on their budget allocations across various segments within various technology categories such as enterprise applications, security, mobility, communications and collaboration, and cloud computing, etc. Moreover, the report contains projections for Chinese enterprises' IT budget allocations across various segments in the forthcoming years.

Setting Your Compass: reflect, reach out and review
(*There is a Free Download Pack at the bottom of this article)
Time for a new career but you don't know what?
"Have I got it right?" you ask yourself.
"Should I still be doing what I'm doing?"
"Is it still what I want? Am I still who I was? Does there need to be so much traffic/commuting, grey skies and stress in my life? Is there another way?"
The questions stump you.
At some point you bring up the conversation over dinner. You talk about wanting more balance in your life. How can you have more of the good things, more of the important things, more family and friends? Is it just a case of asking for more holidays? Would that do? Maybe it will. But you know that it won't.
Something's amiss. It's been so for a while. But you've been so busy IN your life, making it happen and following through on your multiple responsibilities, you barely have time to register the faint whisper – is this it?
Every year it's the same. Every holiday the questions come. You resolve to do things differently when you return. Inevitably, you slide back into your life, put the questions to the back of your mind and busy yourself with things that you tell yourself are important.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It's time to scratch beneath the surface of the discontent.
The reason why the questions don't get answered isn't because you don't try, it's because the questions are too big, too overwhelming.
Start with where you are, but more importantly start with who you are.
It's time to change the question to the most accessing one of all: Who am I?
This is your vantage point.
From here you will be able to see for miles.
Not just who am I, but who am I now? Because you've evolved, grown, changed and so has what you need to be fulfilled. Maybe it's more, maybe it's less, probably it's just different.
Where's this going you're asking yourself? Is she going to suggest therapy or coaching? No I'm not, although they're also options.
I want to give you some tools that you can actually use WHILE STILL ON YOUR HOLIDAY or at least while you're still in the moment of wanting to answer the questions. Let's break the cycle, let's send you home from the beach with some answers not just the same questions! You will find a FREE DOWNLOAD PACK with exercises at the bottom of the article!
So, where do we start?
There are many tools, techniques and exercises that we can use, but without speaking to you personally it's impossible to know exactly what you need. So I've handpicked 3 tools which will be useful for anyone in this headspace. They require you to reflect, reach out and review. Together, I call them the Setting Your Compass- download pack.
Tool 1: The Wheel of Life
To begin with and before we go under the surface, let's go up above. Let's get a helicopter view of your life. One of the most powerful yet simple tools I start every coaching journey with is the Wheel of Life. It will give you a snapshot view of where you are and where you want to be. It takes about 5-10 mins to do – you can download it (just click the download button on the bottom of the article). Use it to identify which areas of life you need to focus on and where you need to place your energy. But also use it to predict what will happen when you reach your goal.
This will help you set your compass. It's called the Wheel of Life and it's the first exercise in the Setting Your Compass download pack.
Next we've got to find your foundations. Buildings have blueprints so you can see the layout, where the doors are, where the walls are, and if you're in a Bruce Willis movie, where the secret passageways are! Just like buildings have blueprints I believe people do too, we have a "YouPrint," if you like. When you uncover yours it makes answering the big questions in your life infinitely easier. There are 2 key aspects to your YouPrint that are fundamentals in unlocking the answer to the question – what next?
Your strengths and your values.
Tool 2: 6 Questions
Now, your strengths may seem like an obvious one, but the truth is that we're not very good at knowing our strengths. We have a vague idea, but we're much better and knowing our faults, what's wrong with us, what we wish we could change. Well this exercise is unique because it doesn't ask you what your strengths are (because we know you'd be too modest for it to be helpful). Instead, we turn to the people in your life and simply asking them 6 short questions. We've made this really easy for you by creating a 'swipe file' that you can literally copy and paste to send to at least 10 people in your life. I recommend that you choose a variety of people from your past, your present, from work, friends and family. Mix it up and get a range of opinions. The rest of the instructions are in the download pack Setting Your Compass.
Tool 3: Identifying your Core Values
Finally are our Values. Most people think they know their values, but the majority don't. They know what they value, but that's different, you may want to be a certain way….
When you quit any job or relationship in your life 9 out of 10 times it will be because there is an incongruence with your values.
Your values being met (or not) are a massive contributor to your general sense of happiness and satisfaction in life.
You may not always know when a value isn't being met (because most of us don't think on those terms and why would you!) but you can certainly feel it. You feel uncomfortable, uneasy, it feels like something is wrong.
Let's take one of our clients, Liz, for example. She had a great idea for a new service in the tech world, so she wanted to quit her job and start a small business. When we did her values work together it became apparent that security was a very strong value for her. Being an entrepreneur and having security as a core value don't always go hand in hand. It doesn't mean they can't, but they're not natural bed-fellows like say entrepreneur & creativity.
This allowed us the chance to prepare Liz for the inevitable tension she would feel between the 2 need/wants. This doesn't mean that Liz couldn't follow her plans, it just meant she had to prepare in a different way to take into account her values. You don't have to have all your values met by your work, but it's important to get them all met somewhere. After some discussion it was clear that security meant money for Liz (it's always important to dig further to find the definition as it's different depending on who you talk to e.g. for many people security is love). Knowing this allowed us to be able to work out how much money Liz needed to save before feeling 'secure' enough to leave her job. It also informed her business plans as she was able to work out how much 'security' she needed to generate in year 1, 2 and so on.
When you know your values you are at a significant advantage when determining your next career move (or indeed even your next relationship it's important you share similar values with the person you share your life with, otherwise the relationship will be short lived)
You can use your values as a filter for potential promotions or new job offers. If the majority of your values aren't being met through the job you can save yourself a year or two of finding out the long way.
Ever known people who quit their job every 1-2yrs? For sure they're just caught in a loop making the same mistake. I can guess that one of their values might be variety or even autonomy. Knowing your values can help you break the unhelpful patterns in your life. I have a card game called Values Poker I like to get my clients to play. But since you can't download a deck of cards I have a simple exercise which will get you to the same end point.
So here you have it, 3 exercises to help set your compass and unlock those big questions you have. Let me know how you get on!

Partnering is a Relationship
by Laura Simpson, guest blogger
In October of 2007, I was a brand new nurse with only 4 months experience living
and working in my hometown of Dayton, OH. This super fun, Jesus loving, PA I had
worked with for a couple of years had mentioned taking a medical mission vision
trip down to the Dominican Republic. He had gone to college and was friends with
the founder. I was fresh out of college, making actual money and always up for
international travel, so I told him I was in. To be honest, it wasn't the thought of
going to a beautiful island, eating dinner on a gorgeous beach or even using the
skills my God had fashioned in me…what excited me the most was that of the 7 of us
that went, none of us went to the same church. While I participated in and loved
going on mission trips with my friends in youth group growing up (some of my most
treasured memories are trips/camps with my youth group…we were so fun)…there
was something so special about people saying yes to Jesus because the opportunity
presented itself…not because you knew all the people and all the details and
someone had gone before you to tell you what it was like, but simply because you
know God, you love God and you know that you know that you know…you are
always meant to love and serve people; it is an amazing way to love and serve God.
I had absolutely zero clue how this trip would go. The only thing I distinctly
remember from a meeting when Sharla was in town was that you can't throw your
toilet paper in the toilet. It has to go in the trashcan beside it. No other options. Oh,
and always make sure you have toilet paper on you…it's never a guarantee in public
places. I was subconsciously seriously concerned about the toilet paper thing.
The trip was amazing. It was rainy. We all thought we were going to die walking
back to our hotel at the end of the trip because it was so dark and sand is a blast to
hoof it in. I almost busted my tail on some wet tile. But, we saw the school, which
was one little building with two small classrooms inside. We walked through
Montellano, Pancho Mateo and Chichigua and I fell in love. We were muddy messes
by the time we were done. Something in me clicked and shifted forever. My heart
was swelling with each child I picked up, every hand old or young that I held. We
literally walked from house to house, being invited in, them coming out to greet us
and we helped teach them, remove stiches, clean and dress wounds, ect all out of
our backpacks. This, my friends is partnership. To come alongside, work together,
sharing what you know and helping without expectation of payback, but each doing
what they can.
I knew by day 3 that I wanted to come back. I had to pray about it before I talked to
Sharla. I needed to know that this wasn't just a caught up in the moment high. When
talking about coming back for an extended period of time, I knew in my heart that
this is what God had for me at that time. At that time, there was no medical
personnel in the DR and I would actually be able to fill a role for a small amount of
time. Sharla was all for it and so was I. I now had to convince my job to let a new
nurse with very little earned time off to leave her job for a month to go serve in
another country. The Lord gave me some powerful and persuasive words. I went
over and over my speech to my boss. I entered her office with humility, but a bold
spirit to present the request. I was no more than one sentence in and she agreed.
Just like that. No pleading. No proving. This, my friends, is partnership. It's when you
are willing to put in the work, praying, studying the word, saving money and
supplies…and believing with all your heart that God will do his part. You see,
whether or not my boss was going to allow me to go was not truly ever in her hands.
It was always in God's. And even though He permitted it to be without me having to
put up a good case as to why this was going to be a catalyst for the future years to
change my life; He was pleased that I was willing.
My partnership with Makarios does not look like most. I wasn't there from the
beginning, but I got to walk on roads of those that could see people like me coming a
few years later. Partnership. I have gone back twice a year since, sometimes with
medical teams, but mostly on my own. I have made friends with staff and in the
communities. I have always been welcomed in like family and we keep up even
years later. Partnership. This even allowed me to join Makarios as a few of us went
to Jimani after the earthquake to offer our love and skills in an orphanage turned
hospital in whatever ways we could and were sent with supplies from sponsors in
the States. Partnership. I've also seen children go to a safe school, being taught a
bilingual curriculum that sets them up for the future, and a meal they can count on.
They learn to love and respect each other. Partnership. But most of all, these lives
are changing the face of the Kingdom and more are being added all the time. These
are the training grounds for the rising leaders of their communities…and they are
our brothers in sisters in Christ whose very lives are sharing the gospel.
Partners come in various forms, with unique callings and specific gifts, and we couldn't be more grateful! Our partners are essential to loving, educating and empowering! Want to join in? Click here for more information on how to become a partner.

Laura, I enjoyed reading your blog. I'm Darren's Mom. I know how much both he and Becky and the girls love and appreciate you. May God continue to guide and bless your life.

The UC-SC Street Action Commando was put in the streets of East London last night. In broad daylight, our fearless agent Tytania chased a male vermin who had been previously contacted by the Cell, to demand that he pays his Femdom Tax. After summoning him at an agreed time and place, he was chased cat & mouse style, unsure of who, where or when, our UC-SC Femme would strike. Oblivious to him, she rocked up on a longboard, padded and in a helmet, and smoothly approached her target, demanded the Femdom Tax, and glided away on her longboard. We are an expert urban guerrilla! Her male victim was left speechless, moneyless, and with the need for a stiff drink at the nearest watering hole!
But just a handful of grubby money earned with his male privilege isn't enough to save his tight, narrow, patriarchal arse.

CHARLOTTE -- Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson met with a group of captains and other team leaders at his home Tuesday amid mounting frustrations among some players who feel Richardson's strongly held beliefs do not allow them to join the growing protests around the NFL.
Team spokesman Steven Drummond said Richardson invited the players to his SouthPark home Tuesday afternoon to discuss "social issues affecting the league and solutions moving forward."
Drummond would not divulge details of the meeting. The Panthers did not respond to an interview request for Richardson.
The Observer first reported the meeting, which was prompted by increasing tensions among players frustrated by restrictions implemented by Richardson and concerned about possible repercussions should they speak out on social issues, according to sources.
Richardson was the next-to-last owner to weigh in with a statement after President Donald Trump's comments at a rally in Alabama last week that owners should fire players who refuse to stand for the national anthem.
The Panthers' captains are a mix of white and black players, a group that includes quarterback Cam Newton, the 2015 league MVP, and Pro Bowl linebackers Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly. The other captains are tight end Greg Olsen, center Ryan Kalil and safety Kurt Coleman.
Veteran defensive end Julius Peppers, the lone Panthers player to demonstrate before Sunday's game against New Orleans, attended Tuesday's meeting, SI.com's Jonathan Jones reported.
Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn told Charlotte's WFNZ-AM on Tuesday that Panthers players wanted to do more in the way of protest, but were scared to.
"We didn't do much as a team. I think a lot of people were disappointed in that," Munnerlyn said. "I think we wanted to do more, but we didn't know how it would come down this being North Carolina, this being a military state. At the same time, I think a lot of people were scared on our team."
Munnerlyn said he was waiting on Richardson to release a statement following Trump's comments, which Richardson did Monday.
In the statement, Richardson praised his players as "active and impactful participants" in the community.
But he also made it clear he believes sports and politics should remain separate, so as not to damage the NFL.
"Politicizing the game is damaging and takes the focus off the greatness of the game itself and those who played it," said Richardson, the only current owner who played in the league.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera, whose father served 32 years in the Army including two tours of duty in Vietnam, also believes there are better ways to demonstrate than in the sports arena.
But Rivera also is trying to keep his locker room united and had a dialogue with his players on the topic during Monday's team meeting, according to sources.
The next step was having Richardson sit down with the players who want to express themselves but are concerned there may be ramifications for doing so, sources said.
During his weekly appearance on WFNZ on Tuesday, Munnerlyn said players wanted to express their feelings but "didn't want to piss the wrong person off."
"I think people were kind of scared to express that because how it would have made it look to the Big Cat," Munnerlyn added, referring to Richardson by his nickname.
Former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling last season to shed light on social injustice and racism, and a handful of other players joined him across the league.
The protests became widespread following the comments by Trump, who urged NFL owners to get rid of any "son of a bitch" who doesn't stand for the anthem.
Players, as well as some coaches and owners, responded by linking arms, kneeling, sitting or remaining in the locker room during the anthem at every game last weekend.
At the Carolina-New Orleans game in Charlotte, Peppers remained in the locker room during the anthem. Every other Panthers player stood for the anthem, as Rivera had encouraged them to.
Peppers said his actions were not about disrespecting the military, flag, police or first responders, but a response to Trump's attack on Peppers' "brothers in the league."
After the violent protests in Charlotte following the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by a police officer last year, Panthers defensive back Marcus Ball raised his right hand during the anthem before a game against the Vikings, and safety Tre Boston spoke out about finding an appropriate way to protest discrimination.
Neither player remains with the team.
Rivera told his players before Sunday's game that the best way to show unity was to "stand, look at the flag and be at attention," while envisioning a country free of injustice, bigotry and prejudice.
The Panthers coach faces a difficult task: balancing the beliefs of his team's owner, his personal background, and the desires of the 53 men in his locker room, many of whom have strong feelings on social issues.
On Monday, Rivera said he respected the manner in which Peppers, a 16-year veteran and iconic member of the team, protested.
"I think he was trying to find a way to do it the right way," Rivera said. "I think he was trying to make sure that everybody understood that he has a tremendous amount of respect for what the flag stands for, for the military personnel and for the first responders."
Some owners condemned Trump's remarks in their statements, while others joined players on the field for public protests or displays of unity. Dallas owner Jerry Jones knelt with Cowboys players before the anthem Monday night in Arizona.
But Richardson did not refer to Trump by name or mention the league-wide demonstrations.
Coleman has said Carolina players feel supported in terms of their charitable work, which Richardson referenced in his statement. But Coleman said Panthers also want to shed light on the social issues dominating the headlines.
"I think the one thing that we know most is this community, this organization, supports everybody in this locker room and the things that we do in the community. It's amazing how many lives we've been able to touch and change," Coleman said Monday.
"We're trying to change lives over here. And I think this is another subject we want to continue to bring to light and help change for the better."
Amid growing anger and frustration, a group of Panthers meet with owner Jerry Richardson

Scratch built Jagdpanther based upon a H/L Panther Chassis this build was quite a job as the old type H/L panther was wider and not to scale as was the later model.
Peter explained that the model was very heavy when completed.
Note the 15mm copper pipe fittings for the late exhausts .. brilliant.

What can a housing provider ask you about your disability?
What can a housing provider ask you about your disability?
Once you have asked your housing provider for a reasonable accommodation based on your disability, what kind of verification can the housing provider ask of you, if any?
The Joint Statement of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice provides clarification. If the disability and the need for the reasonable accommodation is obvious then:
A provider is entitled to obtain information that is necessary to evaluate if a requested reasonable accommodation may be necessary because of a disability. If a person's disability is obvious, or otherwise known to the provider, and if the need for the requested accommodation is also readily apparent or known, then the provider may not request any additional information about the requester's disability or the disability-related need for the accommodation.
Example: An applicant with an obvious mobility impairment who regularly uses a walker to move around asks her housing provider to assign her a parking space near the entrance to the building instead of a space located in another part of the parking lot. Since the physical disability (i.e., difficulty walking) and the disability- related need for the requested accommodation are both readily apparent, the provider may not require the applicant to provide any additional information about her disability or the need for the requested accommodation.
If the disability is obvious, but the need for the reasonable accommodation is not then:
If the requester's disability is known or readily apparent to the provider, but the need for the accommodation is not readily apparent or known, the provider may request only information that is necessary to evaluate the disability-related need for the accommodation.
Example: A blind tenant was living in a one–bedroom apartment. He requested to be moved to a two-bedroom apartment for his disability. The housing provider requested verification that the two-bedroom apartment was needed for the tenant's disability. The tenant's doctor wrote a letter to the housing provider stating that the tenant required a live-in able to ask for verification for the reasonable accommodation request because needing a two-bedroom apartment was not obvious. The doctor's letter explained why the tenant needed a two-bedroom apartment, so the reasonable accommodation has been sufficiently verified.
If the disability and the need for the reasonable accommodation are both not obvious then:
Housing provider may request reliable disability-related information that (1) is necessary to verify that the person meets the Act's definition of disability (i.e., has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities), (2) describes the needed accommodation, and (3) shows the relationship between the person's disability and the need for the requested accommodation.4
Who is considered a third party in the position to know?
The verification in most cases comes from a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or other medical professional. However, the Fair Housing Act allows anyone who is in the position to know about the individual's disability to provide verification. It could be a peer support group leader, non-medical service agency, a parent, or family member. It does not even have to a person in some cases, it could be "proof that an individual under 65 years of age receives Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance benefits."
LGBT and Fair Housing – A Patchwork of Unequal Protection
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision ruled a fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples. However, the right of same sex-couples to rent or purchase a home is not a specific right protected under federal law.
However, California specifically bans housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. If you believe you have been a victim of housing discrimination, contact the City of San Diego's Fair Housing Hotline, administered by the Fair Housing Center of the Legal Aid Society of San Diego Inc., at 844–449- 3500
The federal Fair Housing Act, bans discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, familial status, gender, and disability, but does not specifically include sexual orientation and gender identity/expression as prohibited bases. Recently, voters in the city of Houston rejected the
Houston Equal Rights Ordinance that would have banned housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. Against this backdrop, a recent study demonstrated that same–sex couples experience less favorable treatment than heterosexual couples in the online rental housing market.
While the federal government bans housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity only in government operated housing, states and cities across of the country have had to enact specific laws that ban housing discrimination against LGBT persons because the federal Fair Housing Act does not grant specific protections to LGBT persons. Only 21 states, which include California, have a law that bans housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Only 17 states ban housing discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression. This fact means LGBT persons are not protected against housing discrimination in many states and could face lawful discrimination from a landlord who refuses to rent an apartment to gay, lesbian, or transgender persons. Currently, a same-sex couple can marry but can still be denied the opportunity to purchase or rent a home together because of the unequal protection of fair housing rights for LGBT persons under federal law.

U.S. Mood Measured Through Twitter, 2006-2009
A group of researchers have published a simple word analysis of 300 million tweets (you know, those short, 140 character-maximum status updates from individuals) from Twitter and discovered something amazing — people are happier on the weekends, and before and after work. Yes, that's right — people are happier when they are not working!
It took three researchers from Northeastern University and two from Harvard Medical School to arrive at these stunning conclusions.
Now, since researchers didn't actually look at 300 million tweets individually, the mood of each tweet was inferred using the ANEW word list — Affective Norms for English Words — a word-rating system that gives normative emotional ratings for English language words. These kinds of analyses are indirect and rough measurements — they can only note very large trends because they are not necessarily reliable.
Click through to watch the video and read more.
For instance, such an analysis can't take into account things like sarcasm, double-negatives, or opposite meanings in human language (which may be especially prevalent in informal social networking services like Twitter). "I hate this sunny day 🙂 " for instance can be scored as being negative by the researchers, when in fact it's likely a positive tweet. Since the researchers didn't say, we have no way to know how many of these kinds of tweets might have been misclassified.
Another limitation of the data (and it's interesting to note that since this wasn't published in a peer-reviewed journal, the researchers don't mention the limitations of their data or methodology) is that it also infers location only from those users who've enabled Twitter to post their geographic location. So are people in the southwest U.S. tweeting more? Or are they simply more open to turning this feature on in Twitter? It seems like an obvious alternative explanation.
It was enough to create a cool video that I'm certain will make the rounds on the Internet (a video that also shows that we're not apparently very happy while we're sleeping). The graphs also show that the West Coast's "mood" is approximately 3 hours behind the East Coast's mood — an amazing correlation to the actual time difference between the two coasts of our nation.
Sorry, but when I see data like this that state the obvious, I just can't help but scratch my head and wonder why five researchers spent dozens (hundreds?) of hours to analyze 300 million tweets. Did they honestly think they were going to find something astounding in such "data"? There are so many other areas of mental health and real epidemiological work that deserve research attention, it just seems like a waste of some obviously-smart, forward-thinking researchers.

From my seat way out in left field, Montgomery seems to have exerted a lot of energy cracking down on gambling without much to show for it.
