I am always cautious to the spirits who come into our sessions to help and I asked my teacher Master Kuthumi who she was. He replied to me that Solaris is of higher energy of the Angelic realm, I humbly looked in her direction and greeted her with my energy. She smiled at me and said,"Greetings Ancient One". I said, "Ancient One?" Wow, I have never heard that one before and she just smiled.

The matcha powder is made from the ground tea made from sunshade tea, and then grinded into ultrafine powder. Matcha powder is rich in nutrients necessary to the human body composition and trace elements, the main ingredients of tea polyphenols, caffeine and free amino acid, chlorophyll, protein, aromatic substances, cellulose, vitamin C, vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, E, K, H, etc., trace elements of potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, zinc, selenium, fluorine nearly 30 kinds.
The higher the grade of matcha powder, the more green the color. The more green the matcha is, the more difficult it will be to make the tea varieties, planting methods, planting areas, processing technology and processing equipment.
Matcha is made from tea, which is made only with spring tea. In addition to strict water management, its production has two key words: covering and steaming. Set-up for fresh tea must be built for 20 days before harvest, covering reed curtains and straw curtains, shading rate is above 98%, there are simple, with black plastic yarn network coverage, shading rate can reach 70 ~ 85%. Experiments show that the effects of different materials and colors on tea shading are different.
The study showed that "covering shade changed the environmental factors such as light intensity, light quality and temperature, thus affecting the formation of tea aroma quality." The outdoor tea does not contain B- santalol, benzoic acid and ester, except the low - grade aliphatic compounds, the content of other aroma components is significantly lower than the shade tea. The chlorophyll and amino acids of the covered green tea were significantly increased, and the carotenoids were 1. Five times, the total amino acid is 1.4 times of natural light cultivation, and the chlorophyll is 1.6 times that of natural light.
The fresh tea leaves are dried on the day of the harvest, and the steam-killing method is adopted. Green tea covered with green tea and steamed green tea not only has special aroma, the color is green, the taste is also more delicious.
Application of matcha:
Food: mooncakes, biscuits, melon seeds, ice cream, noodles, matcha chocolate, matcha ice cream, matcha cake, matcha bread, matcha jelly, matcha candy,
Beverages: canned drinks, solid drinks, milk, yoghurt, matcha drink, etc.
Cosmetics: beauty products, tea mask, tea powder, tea soap, tea shampoo, etc.
4 indicators of the level of matcha powder
1. Color, pure natural matcha powder, the more green the color, the higher the grade, the lower the level of yellow and green.
2. Fineness, usually the thinner the better, more than 1000 items are better.
3. Aroma, the higher the grade of matcha, the fragrance is more fragrant, elegant, without any smell.
4. Taste, the higher the grade of matcha, taste more fresh.

The MTV show Siesta Key follows the lives of eight gorgeous young people living on Siesta Key, a small island where there's a lot of money. Alex Kompothecras is the king of the crew of eight. As his girlfriend Juliette says, "He has the most amazing house right on the beach…and everyone wants to party with him."
[related: Who Is Siesta Key's New Vixen Canvas? A Sexy Underwear Model]
The house belongs to Alex's family — his parents Gary and Beth who are both University of Tampa alumni (where Alex goes to school). Alex is the eldest of six kids. His siblings Bronson and Sarah Alice are on the Autism Spectrum, and the youngest are triplets Gabriel, Helena and Neesa. Alex's father Gary Kompothecras is a chiropractor and founder of 1-800-ASK-GARY, a lawyer and medical referral service (see TV commercial below). He is also an executive producer of Siesta Key. Siesta Key airs Mondays at 10pm on MTV.

Six Devon-based L&BR Trust members took a break from volunteering at the work parties at Woody Bay and Chelfham to have a day out on the trains around Devon.
Using the still excellent value Devon Day Ranger ticket (£6.60), the group travelled from Barnstaple to Exeter then to Axminster and back. Also a return to Exmouth before the 1800 departure back to Barnstaple. (no apologies for some views of the bigger trains in this report!)
1. After arrival at Axminster the unusually formed just a 2-car formation South West Trains Class 159 awaits its departure time to head up to London Waterloo.
2. This month sees diversions off the GW Main line whilst Network Rail carry out some substantial engineering work between Taunton and Exeter including relining inside Whiteball Tunnel. Some First Great Western HST's are diverted to run on the old LSWR main line. The 0906 Paddington-Penzance speeds through Axminster at 1130.
3. Back at Exeter the group take in some heritage culture by walking past the cathedral whilst en route to the pub!
4. Lunch and beer was at a Wetherspoons - The Georges Meeting House, Exeter.
5. Time for an afternoon trip in the sunshine to Exmouth.
6. The group walked to a promenade cafe to enjoy afternoon tea outside - even in January! (It's not all pub crawls!)
7. A scenic coastal view looking into the low sun whilst a fishing boat passes.
Later, back at Exeter and a final pint at The Imperial, we planned a few dates and ideas for forthcoming trips in early 2014.
All L&BR Trust members and volunteers are welcome to join us on any of these days out. Contact Nigel Thompson

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP is a midstream master limited partnership based in Houston, Texas. The Company, by way of its subsidiaries, provides transportation, storage, gathering, and processing services for natural gas, and natural gas liquids and other hydrocarbons (NGLs) in the U.S.
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners serves producers, local distribution companies (LDCs), marketers, electric power generators, direct industrial users, as well as interstate and intrastate pipelines. In essence, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners' strategy is to add new and used markets to its natural gas system and to increase its liquids related business.
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners operates roughly 14,525 miles of pipelines and underground storage caverns with a collective working gas capacity of around 205 billion cubic feet (Bcf) and liquids capacity of about 24 million barrels. The Company's pipeline systems transported roughly 2.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas and approximately 46.6 MMBbls of NGLs in 2015.
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners' operating subsidiaries are: Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP; Gulf Crossing Pipeline Company LLC; ; and Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream, LLC. Texas Gas has been one of its pipelines that has had considerable growth in power generation, and Boardwalk expects this to continue.
Boardwalk's natural gas storage facilities consist of 14 underground storage fields located in four states. Its NGLs storage facilities comprise nine salt-dome caverns located in Louisiana. In addition, the Company owns three salt-dome caverns and a brine pond for use in providing brine supply services and to support the NGLs storage operations. Approximately 90% of Boardwalk's annual revenue comes from fixed-fee, take-or-pay contracts with mainly investment-grade clients.
In June 2016, the Company's Southern Indiana Lateral project, which serves an industrial customer, was placed into service. Moreover, its Ohio to Louisiana Access project began service on June 1, 2016. In addition, construction of its Northern Supply Access project commenced this past July.
Furthermore, Boardwalk is advancing with its Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream project construction. This project is to provide ethane and ethylene transportation and storage services for Sasol's new ethane cracker and derivatives complex. Also, Boardwalk's Brine Supply project is moving ahead on schedule. The expectation is that it will begin service in 2018. Overall, regarding its present line up of growth projects, Boardwalk has invested about $400 million.
For Q2 2016, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners transported about 562 TBtu of natural gas. It also transported roughly 16 million barrels of liquids in Q2 of 2016.
For Q2 ended June 30, 2016, Boardwalk had Operating Revenues of $306.3 million for the quarter and $651.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This represents a 3% increase and a 4% increase from $298.6 million and $628.3 million in the comparable prior year periods.
The Company's Net Income was $65.7 million for the quarter and $166.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This represents a 63% increase and a 41% increase from $40.4 million and $118.1 million in the comparable year-ago periods.
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners reported its Q3 2016 earnings on Monday, October 31, 2016. The Company issued its earnings news release before the market opened on Monday, October 31, 2016.

Women have been known for flaunting their fashion dresses, especially the ones in which they would look good. They would search the heaven and earth for the fashionable dress that they feel is essential for the wardrobe. They would show both their contemporary and traditional dresses available in various styles. It would not be wrong to state that online shopping has become that platform for women to seek an array of styles in fashionable dresses, regardless their age.
Benefits of advancement in technology
It would be pertinent to mention here that advancement in technology has changed the facets of human life. It has touched every sphere of human life. There would be hardly an area that has been left untouched by technology. Presently, the hustle and bustle of running from pillar to post searching for your favourite dress has been eliminated with the advent of best affordable online boutique. With the life, becoming extremely fast-paced, online shopping has been a boon for women searching for designer clothes in quick time.
Searching for the right boutique
It would be imperative that you search for the right boutique serving your needs. The boutique should be able to provide you with latest and fashionable clothes in a convenient manner. The boutique should be able to offer you with a number of options suitable to your needs at affordable price. Most boutiques would offer you clothes that would be available on most online stores. However, you should search for the one that would provide you with unique clothes not available on chain stores. You would be able to go through a number of designer clothes suitable to your needs and desires.
Benefits of comparing clothes on different stores
Among the several benefits that you would come across online stores, the best would be comparing the price of one item to the other available on the other online store. It would help you buy one piece at lowest possible price. You would also have the option of finding various designs in single apparel on the online store. Not to mention, you would have various sizes suitable to your needs.
Effortless, efficient and affordable shopping experience
Online boutiques have been known to offer you with the effortless, affordable and efficient shopping experience. You need not step out of your house in the scorching sun, as online women's clothing boutique would offer you everything to your needs while sitting in the comfort of your home.

I don't know too much about this young Italian actress, except that she was quite good as one of the three Bond-girls in the latest 007 movie: The World Is Not Enough (1999) (DVD, VHS). As you can see from the images, she is very pretty and also similar to Lara Croft. What is more, in the Bond movie she successfully disclosed her smartness in physical respects. I don't know, however, how good is her english (:-(((. I hope that we will have the opportunity to see her in more big budget movies...

Originally, this blog was about a mother's experience of living with the disabling diagnosis of schizophrenia - and of trying to keep it secret. But now I have decided to open up this blog. Read all about it here and in my book, 'Surviving Schizophrenia: A Memoir', by Louise Gillett. As a Paperback or ebook.
Tuesday, 17 April 2012
Another ridiculously long reply to previous comments.
Truth is important to me, as I have often stated, and I hate the fact that people often lie, or obscure the truth, and think this doesn't matter. I would advise your son to write his story down - he doesn't have to publish it, but if he wanted he could send it somewhere anonymously, and if he feels that he is being heard this might make him feel better. I think the psychiatric system makes us feel powerless, and unfortunately there are people in the system who abuse their power. We are still lucky when you look at the situation historically - at least now when we get better they let us out! And, as I have also said lots of times before, I am glad now of the lessons that I have learned. I blundered through life when I was young, making numerous mistakes because I knew no better. Now I know enough to look after myself and have been blessed with a young family to be proud of and safeguard - every day I appreciate how fortunate I am, and constantly check myself to make sure I am doing everything to the best of my ability.
Anonymous 2 - or new Anonymous. Thank you for your comment too. I look at my situation from all angles all the time - indeed it is fair to say that I have over-anaylsed it. I am very aware that a lot of people will not believe my version of events, which is why I always try to be as clear as possible about what has happened in my life, so that people may find it all easier to understand. I have only said what needed to be said - I have held back from some disclosures that may harm others. But what I have said is the truth.
I can assure you that everything I have written in my book is true. It may well be that the medical records tell a different story, but there is nothing I can do about that. And I am not trying to 'prove myself right' against trained professionals at all - I only went to see the psychiatrist last week because I wanted to record that I have recovered from the so-called schizophrenia. I want to regain back the freedom that has been taken from me, so that I can take my proper place in society, and do things that are presently legally barred to me (like jury service). I never suggested that I had been misdiagnosed, but I am not objecting if that is what the doctors in their wisdom decide has happened.
I would love to do a Masters. If anybody ever wants to fund me for further training, I will be delighted to undertake it. (Incidentally, do you have a Masters degree to back up your own strongly held views? If not, then maybe we should enrol on the same course..) Meanwhile, I will do whatever work I can get in the mental health field, probably in Peer Support. I don't know if you have looked at the Mad in America site, but there are lots of medically qualified people on there saying the same sort of things that I say from personal experience - that there is a fundamental lack of dignity in the mental health system, that the diagnosis acts as a barrier to recovery, and so on.
It is the mental health system that I object to, not the individuals who work within it. I have learned a fair amount from being in the system for so long. I have met many people with mental health problems on a personal level, and I do know a lot about what led them to breakdown and what helps them to recover. I know this from speaking to them, because they have told me.
As for respect, I respect those people who respect others - as I made clear in my book, there were good nurses and bad nurses when I was in hospital, and the quality of care made a world of difference to the patients. I certainly don't 'constantly knock' the 'knowledge and experience' of mental health teams per se. 'cbtish' commented here yesterday that I know more about mental health than the psychiatrists - I have never made that claim for myself, and nor do I think it is true. I am only an expert on my own mental health - although I do extrapolate from this to say what I think would be good for other people who find themselves in emotional distress, because I want to help those people to become well.
You also talk about 'my wish that it had never happened'. I don't wish this at all. I have said countless times on here that I am grateful for the whole experience - I have learned a lot from it all and I am still learning. If I had never been ill I would never have met Paul and had my kids - I have been priveleged to be able to stay at home with them for so long - my life is just great, and getting better all the time. If I had not been ill I might be a lawyer now with a nine to five (or nine to seven) job, with maybe two children who I never saw when they were growing up because they had to go to childcare so that I could work. I might be richer, but I could not have been happier than I am now (don't intend to sound smug, obviously no-one's life is perfect...) Partly I am happy now because I was so unhappy in the past. That's fine.
And yes, I was psychotic and sectioned three times, and no, I don't believe this was necessary for my protection or that of the public. I was not suicidal or violent. I was scared, and desperate. If when I was nineteen and I became psychotic (or extremely emotionally distressed, if you want to look at it in human terms) there had been another safe place for me to go rather than St Anns (and by safe I don't mean secure, I mean staffed by human beings that I could trust and who would have seen to my basic human needs - food, shelter and so on) I think I might have recovered better and not had the subsequent breakdowns. I don't know this for sure of course - hindsight again - but what are experiences for if not to learn from? I would like to go to a Soteria house if I ever become ill again - which I hope I never will. Apparently there is a new one opening soon in Brighton. I am going to establish some links, just in case!
I try to write about what I have learned - the healing power of human kindness, for example. 'Dr Jameson' was/is kind to me and speaks to me as a human and an equal - I made that clear in my post. I have had good, bad and indifferent treatment from other mental health professionals. I know the difference, and it is vitally important. I repeat, it is the system that needs to change, so that bad treatment does not become or remain institutionalised.
I had better stop here or all this won't fit in the comment box again! But let me end by saying that you are welcome to 'switch off' from my story any time you like - I don't need anybody's attention, I am just trying to help and I do this by writing my blog because I enjoy writing. But do try to keep your mind open to other views. It is important in your line of business!
You could start by taking a look at Ron Unger's blog. Or Duane Sherry's 'Discover and Recover'. Or some of the others that I have referred to on here - all written by capable and understanding people, some of them medically qualified.
PS Obviously it was too late to stop - the comment wouldn't fit the box again. I must stop this over-lengthy replying habit soon, or I won't have time to do anything else.

Thanks for your reply: every word you say is helpful. I believe every word you are writing in your memoir also to be true: it tallies with my life experience as well as my son's experience in the mental health service. And you are right, my son is too sensitive for his own good: he will have to toughen up.As for anonymous 2, I suspect she works for the mental health services or sounds like it. Don't let anyone put you off: you are easy to talk to and you are plucky. Because you have been through it all, your heart is in the right place. Keep up the good work.ReplyDelete

It's me again! I just reread your post and one thing stood out. You say "I want to regain back the freedom that has been taken from me" and I think you express very well how it feels to be diagnosed "mentally ill". I think that is exactly how my son feels: trapped by this unfair diagnosis which is stopping him to live his life in peace and quiet. They keep writing letters to him, stating that they want to check on him and believe me, it is the last thing he wants. He wants them to leave him alone to get on with his life.ReplyDelete
Hi. Yes, that must be difficult for your son - I wonder how long it would take before they stopped writing him letters? I suppose if he wants to challenge the diagnosis - and it sounds like he should - he will have to meet with mental health professionals at some point. Perhaps he could contact a psychologist instead of a psychiatrist - they seem to have a different attitude to mental health, and would probably suit him better - he might feel more able to trust a psychologist and they might be able to help boost his self-esteem.ReplyDelete
Alternatively, CBT worked wonders for me, as I have said on here lots of times recently, and can be accessed by self-referral (at least it can in my local area, through IAPT - I am not sure if this is available nationwide. If not, the GP could refer your son.)
I think that the opportunity to speak to someone impartial and understanding, out of the circle of his family and friends, might help your son to finally put all this behind him and move on.
I hope things work out for you both, and look forward to hearing from you again. All the best, Louise

Is It Really ED? – Learn The Signs of True ED
Erectile dysfunction affects more than 65 million men in the United States alone. However, most people don't really understand this condition. Many men believe that they have it, when they really do not. This leads them to seek medications that they believe will help them, but in reality they do nothing for them and they could even be dangerous.
So what are the real signs of erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is when a man is unable to achieve an erection due to a physical cause. Most of the cases of suspected ED are not actually due to physical causes; they are caused by psychological causes. Anxiety, stress, and a host of other psychological problems can make it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection.
This "performance anxiety" or whatever you would like to call it, is not true ED and thus it can not be remedied by any of the erectile dysfunction medications that are prescribed by doctors to treat ED.
You can tell if you have actual erectile dysfunction if you are unable to achieve or maintain an erection more than 25% of the time. A doctor may also recommend a test that would determine if you are having a normal number of nighttime erections. On average, male adults have about 3 to 5 nighttime erections. If you find that you are having much less frequent erections while you sleep, this is probably a sign of erectile dysfunction.
So what cause and erection in the first place?
An erection is a result of your hormones, brain, nerves and blood vessels working together. If one of these bodily systems isn't doing its job, the man will not be able to have a satisfactory erection. The most common reason that men are unable to achieve an erection is because the muscles in the penis do not relax so that blood can flow through the penis and cause an erection.
When a man is aroused, the brain will send signals to activate certain enzymes that help to relax the muscles of the penis so that blood can circulate freely through it. However, there are also enzymes that break down these "relaxant" enzymes. Too many of these enzymes (called PDE-5) and the muscles in the penis are unable to relax and thus blood flow is restricted.
So what can be done about ED?
ED medications like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra work to inhibit PDE-5. This allows the normal process to take place uninhibited. Each of these drugs works in a different way, but the principle is usually the same.
Erectile dysfunction is often misunderstood, and those who suffer from it often feel very embarrassed about the condition. Once people realize that ED is a normal medical condition, just like any other, and what's more, there is a cure for it, then there would probably be much less of a stigma on men who have ED and those who have undiagnosed ED would be more likely to see their doctor about it.

Just a Mom
I want to clear up a few misconceptions.
Misconception 1: We are posting for sympathy.
Let me tell you, the last thing we want is sypmathy. We don't want you to feel sorry for us. We don't want you to feel sorry for our child. We aren't posting about our baby so you will feel bad because, believe it or not, our child's death is not about you. It's not about what we can get from you. We don't want "sad eyes" or tilted heads. We don't need a virtual pat on the back from you telling us it will all be okay. We aren't posting to remind you about our child's death - we are posting to remind you about their life and about our love for them. Life and Love do not need sypmathy.
Misconception 2: We are unable to handle our grief.
Honestly, this one is incredibly annoying. If we were unable to handle our grief, we would be dead already. The fact that we are alive to even create a post is proof enough we are handling things just fine. Maybe you don't think we are because some posts seem "depressing" or "morbid". Maybe you are concerned because for the last several days (or months), our posts have focused on our missing child and on how hard it is that they are gone. Handling grief is feeling grief. Unless you have given birth to your dead child, had to watch them die shortly after birth, or walked up to their lifeless body laying in their crib, you cannot make decisions regarding how we chose to handle their absence. Posts about our children do not mean we aren't handling our grief. They mean we are handling our love.
Misconception 3: We are posting because we are sad.
Sometimes we are sad, yes. However, for the most part, when we need to get that sadness out into a post, it will be in one of our loss groups where people understand it, not on our personal wall, where it will, inevitably, be misconstrued. It is possible we do want you to understand how this feels, and so we post a status in hopes that you will. But, we aren't sad all the time. Not every post is made in sadness. Not every picture we upload or quote we share is because we are drenched in sorrow. We are sad our child died, but not everything makes us sad. Sometimes, we can remember without sadness. Sometimes, we can remember with joy and love.
Misconcepition 4: We have become dark and twisted, or we are full of "negative energy".
Our outlook on life has changed. We see the world differently than we used to, differently than you do. That is true. Especially those of us who had previously been untouched by death, we see the finality of life more clearly. We take less B.S. from people and we are more likely to appreciate the current moment over a future one. Sometimes, it is hard to plan for the future because the one we had been working on was ripped away, but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate what we have. It doesn't mean we are negative and are brimming with darkness.
So, why do we post? Why do you post pictures of your children? You post about your children because you love them and because they are a part of your life. You post because you are proud of them and you want to show them off. You post because you think your kids are amazing and wonderful and the greatest kids in the world. Same here. The only difference is, the child we are posting about is dead. But, that shouldn't make a difference. We are just mothers who want to share our child with you. And since they aren't here to share, we share our feelings about that. We share the same pictures over and over because they are the only ones we have. We share quotes and images about healing and grief. We share articles about loss, links to charities, and events for awareness walks. It is our way of being a part of motherhood - our way of including our child in social media like everyone else's child is.
A question going around in your head may be, "Well, then, how do I respond to your posts?". Many people have said to me over the years that they just don't know what to say in response to some of my posts. Honestly, you don't have to say anything. A "like" will suffice. We don't interpret your "like" as anything but a supportive gesture. Please, though, don't give us frowny faced emoticons. Don't tell us we are making you sad.
We aren't looking for anything. We aren't reaching out for help. We are just being a mom.

Funny. "We are posting on facebook (the eternal high school mentality) and we are upset that anyone might post a comment about how my post makes them feel". THEN STOP POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!ReplyDelete
You've posted threads about how people need to be more aware of what to say or what not to say. GROW UP! No one on this earth has to be careful of your feelings. They are yours. YOU deal with it instead of trying to educate those commenting.
This is your path. You post it....you deal with it. Dont try to redirect sympathy or emotion.Replies
I don't know who you are, but I do know that many of your past comments on my blog have been condescending or critical, and I feel like I need to respond.
People DO need to be aware of what to say and what not to say to those who are grieving. Not because they need to tiptoe around anyone's feelings, but because it is common human decency. It's not about catering to someone's emotional whims - it's about being compassionate to their struggle and trying to understand their path. This post was simply explaining the reasons Loss Moms post about their children and how those posts are often misunderstood. This post was to clarify those reasons in hopes of educating those people who actually care about not hurting their fellow human beings. This post was not to tell people how to feel. ( A small piece suggests a "like" on a post if the person isn't sure what to say, but that is as far as this post goes in telling people what to do.) There is nothing wrong with educating others on how you'd like to be treated. Often times, people get things wrong. They don't know what to say or how to act in situations, through no fault of their own other than being ill-equipped with knowledge or experience. The purpose of this post was to give people that knowledge. Whether they chose to use it is entirely up to them.
Many of my Loss Mom friends have shared this post because it rang true for them, so I know I am not off the mark. Also, considering the post has been read over 1,000 times in less than 24 hours shows it has struck a chord with the people it should.
Beyond the regular status updates, Facebook can be a powerful catalyst for spreading an important message. This is evident through the thousands of different awareness pages for breast cancer, domestic violence, autoimmune diseases, etc. You name it - it has an awareness page on Facebook. Child Loss is my message. I am raising awareness in my social circles about stillbirth and about how to treat mothers who have lost their child. Facebook is the main reason my blog post "A Letter to My Doctor" has reached over 150,000 people in a month and a half and why I have been asked to speak about child loss in hospitals around the country to continue to educate others. Like it or not, social media is a part of almost everyone's lives. It is a form of communication that goes beyond the "high school mentality" - especially for those of us who have actually progressed past the high school mentality.
I don't need to GROW UP. I am grown. If you don't like the content of my blog, simply stop reading it.
Thank you, Rebecca, for speaking my heart.Delete
Rebecca, thank you for that reply! Signed, a grieving motherDelete
Freaking AMEN! I couldn't agree more whole heartedly with you on this blog post or to your response. We were advocates for our child when they were alive, and we advocate for their honor now. We are proud of our kids. They are gone, but they are still here with us, and we continue to fight. The thing that hit me the hardest was, if we weren't handling our grief, we'd be dead already. Whew. No one understands how insanely difficult it is to wake up every single day after our child doesn't. Thank you for writing this piece!!! ~Gray's Mommy <3 O:)Delete
Rebecca, I couldn't agree with your blog more. I am glad you posted this because I feel all these things!! Thank you for being so open and sharing with us. As a new angel mommy, I am grateful for people like you.ReplyDelete
Wow, Rebecca. Again, you have done nothing short of amazing me. Even with how you have responded to the ignorance commented above, you exhibited maturity and diplomacy, where as most would have attacked this person with harsh words and name calling. Bravo, mama, you are a wonderful person, and I am honored that you reached out to me when I needed help on how to help my sister in law heal. ❤💋😘🌈🌈ReplyDelete
Well said. Couldn't agree more.ReplyDelete

1988 was my year and I'm sure if Facebook or even the internet had been around then I would have been blogging about my child and how it felt to lose him. I was a weirdo, I was a talker, I spoke about what had happened to me and how I felt. I was strange to some people. I had people cross the street rather than speak to me. You're not supposed to talk about babies dying. Twenty eight years later and it's strange to see that it's still pretty much a taboo subject to discuss. It happens to many, many families and we need to discuss it.ReplyDelete
As you have said - when somebody posts on social media then a 'like' is suffice. It's a small show of support.
Thank you for sharing this post. So much of this needed to be said. More people NEED TO be educated and some welcome the help. Especially those who have family on this unwanted path.ReplyDelete
Thank you to the moon & back. <3
Thank you for your message and grace when faced with ignorant comments. I share to let my family and friends know. What my husband and I need from them and they've shared with us how it's helped them help us. So thank you again!ReplyDelete
Wow! you hit the huge nail on the tiny head! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this! Sometimes we just don't know how to put things into the proper perspective. I have experienced loss, several friends have experienced loss. Every one of us is different. I celebrate the lives of the babies, grieve with the parents when they need it and grieve for myself every now and again. I don't pity, I rejoice; the babies existed.ReplyDelete
Great blog, Rebecca. Am shocked by negative comments and lack of sympathy but they are in a minority.ReplyDelete
Look forward to reading more of your entries. X
Perfectly stated! I love the way you articulated what I've hoped to so many times. Since we lost our son, Seth, in 2009 I've felt such a drive to speak his name and share his story.ReplyDelete
As a dad I understand. One of the fears that all parents who have lost children have is losing the memories they have of them. I have written a blog for the last 5 years to help people understand what this kind of grief is like. People understand on a intellectual level that grief will occur, but when it really happens many are not emotionally prepared for it. Beside my blog I have put together a website to help all grieving families. www.soaringonwingsofeagles.orgReplyDelete
Thank you for this! I love knowing there are others out there that understand what I am going through and social media is just one way that helps us know we are not alone.ReplyDelete

2ND BARON JOHN HAMILTON BELHAVEN AND STENTON (1656--17o8); was the eldest son of Robert Hamilton, Lord Presmennan (d. 1696), and was born on the 5th of July 1656. Having married Margaret, granddaughter of John Hamilton, 1st Baron Belhaven and Stenton; who had been made a peer by Charles I. in 1647, he succeeded to this title in 1679. In 1681 he was imprisoned for opposing the government and for speaking slightingly of James, duke of York, afterwards James II., in parliament, and in 1689 he was among those who asked William of Orange to undertake the government of Scotland. Belhaven was at the battle of Killiecrankie; he was a member of the Scottish privy council, and he was a director of the Scottish Trading Company, which was formed in 1695 and was responsible for the Darien expedition. He favoured the agitation for securing greater liberty for his country, an agitation which culminated in the passing of the Act of Security in 1705, and he greatly disliked the union of the parliaments, a speech which he delivered against this proposal in November 1706 attracting much notice and a certain amount of ridicule. Later he was imprisoned, ostensibly for favouring a projected French invasion, and he died in London on the 21st of June 1708. Belhaven is chiefly famous as an orator, and two of his speeches, one of them the famous one of November 1706, were printed by D. Defoe in an appendix to his History of the Union (1786). Belhaven's son, John, who fought on the English side at Sheriffmuir, became the 3rd baron on his father's death. He was drowned in November 1721, whilst proceeding to take up his duties as governor of Barbados, and was succeeded by his son John (d. 1764). After the death of John's brother James in 1777 the title was for a time dormant; then in 1799 the House of Lords declared that William Hamilton (1765–1814), a descendant of John Hamilton, the paternal great-grandfather of the 2nd baron, was entitled to the dignity. William, who became the 7th baron, was succeeded by his son Robert (1793-1868), who was created a peer of the United Kingdom as Baron Hamilton of Wishaw in 1831. He died without issue in December 1868, when the barony of Hamilton became extinct; in 1875 the House of Lords declared that his cousin, James Hamilton (1822–1893) was rightfully Baron Belhaven and Stenton, and the title descended to his kinsman, Alexander Charles (b. 1840), the loth baron.End of Article: 2ND BARON JOHN HAMILTON BELHAVEN AND STENTON (1656--17o8); was the eldest son of Robert Hamilton, Lord Presmennan (d. 1696)

text: issue 144 – humor – jokes The Irreverent Joke Page From Issue #144 The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried over time: weight lifters, longshoremen, etc., but nobody could do it. One day, this scrawny little fellow came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a small voice, "I'd like to try the bet." After the laughter had died down, the bartender grabbed the lemon and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little fellow. But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence … as the man clenched his little fist around the lemon … and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?" The little fellow quietly replied, "I work for the IRS." A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the "Chicken Surprise." The waiter brings the meal served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly, and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. "Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband. He hadn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation. "Please sir," says the waiter, "what you order?" The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise." "Ah! So sorry," says the waiter,"I bring you Peeking Duck." Saint Peter is sitting at the Pearly Gates when two guys wearing dark hoodies and sagging pants arrive. St. Peter looked out through the Gates and said, "Wait here. I'll be right back." St. Peter goes over to God's chambers and tells him who is waiting for entrance. God says to Peter, "How many times do I have to tell you? You can't be judgmental here. This is heaven. All are loved. All are brothers. Go back and let them in!" St. Peter goes back to the Gates, looks around, and lets out a heavy sigh. He returns to God's chambers and says, "Well, they're gone." "The guys wearing hoodies?" asked God. "No. The Pearly Gates."

Oklahoma Credit Union Association President Nate Webb reports that last Thursday was a major deadline at the Oklahoma State Capitol. Bills not passed by the chamber of origin are either dead or dormant for the year. This milestone is generally considered halftime for the legislative session.
The week following this deadline is generally quiet, as House and Senate leadership review bills from the opposite chamber and decide appropriate committee assignments. However, the process is moving at an accelerated pace, and legislation from the opposite chamber is already being heard in committee.
This week, Webb says, the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget begins meeting indicating the start of serious budget negotiations between the 2 chambers.
The number of bills available for consideration now stands at 688 as opposed to more than 2,200 filed before session.
Bill Totals:
February 6
March 3
March 27
Total Bills
Credit Union Bills
Hot List
Priority 1
Priority 2
The days leading up to any deadline are always hectic and this past week was no exception. Following are some developments on OKCUA legislative priorities.
Support – SB0064
Affidavit of heirship – creating consistency in conflicting titles of law.
Status: Passed unanimously in House Committee on Judiciary and now goes to the floor for consideration.
Support – SB0119
Sherriff's auctions – limits to six months from the time of the rendition of the initial judgment when an order of sale or execution can be issued upon a judgment.
Support – HB1597
Judgment creditors – this is a bill to streamline the process for judgment creditors to obtain employment information for the purposes of debt collection.
Status: Passed House with title off. We are currently working with the state Chamber of Commerce and other interested parties to modify the bill before it is heard in Senate committee.
Support – HB1915
Perfection of liens on expensive livestock trailers.
Status: This bill received serious opposition from the Agricultural community as well as manufacturers in Oklahoma. The bill remains alive but will stay dormant for the remainder of the session. All parties have agreed to study the issue over the interim.
Oppose – SB0698
A bill introduced by the Oklahoma Wreckers Association in another effort to loosen many provisions included in the Title 42 possessory lien processes.
Status: Passed the Senate and is awaiting committee assignment in the House. From the onset, we believed our best chance of killing this bill would be in the House, and we have already begun to lay the groundwork to do so.
Webb reports that the OKCUA continues to work closely with a coalition composed of businesses, law enforcement, and higher education to defeat several bills introduced this year that could impact a credit union's right to restrict firearms on their property.
Oppose – SB0288
If this bill were to become law, a business owner would be vulnerable to a lawsuit should they attempt to prohibit firearms on their property.
Status: Passed in the Senate, awaiting committee assignment in the House. We feel very confident this bill will not become law. Even if it should pass the legislature, it is doubtful the governor would sign it into law.
Oppose – HB1803
This bill would have greatly limited the ability of any entity receiving public funds from lobbying against any Second Amendment bill.
Status: Last week, we joined other members of the coalition in a passionate discussion with leadership and were able to stop the bill from being heard on the floor.
These are only highlights of this week's past activity. Since Session began in February, we have been successful in killing, passing, or amending legislation to our satisfaction. This is the point in the Session when vigilance is absolutely critical. With more than 55 bills still on our watch list and dozens of others open to hostile amendments, action on the part of credit unions could become critical to our success in the coming weeks.

Becoming Whole
Becoming Whole
This is the second in a series of five, 3-month correspondence courses, conduced weekly by email on the Five Capacities of Conscious Social Change. Becoming Whole challenges us to be proactive in addressing our own unconscious material that can distort our perspective and detract from our positive change efforts in the world.
In this series we examine our deepest intentions; learn practices that cultivate presence and compassion; identify cues in our day-to-day life that signal a need for self-care and reflection; and explore our unique contribution to the world as conscious leaders. We deepen our self-awareness and explore transformational practices that support awakening. As we do, we gather the tools to transform suffering, fear, anxiety, unconscious reactivity, and burn-out into a life of balance and meaning in alignment with our sense of purpose and in service to the common good.
The series involves five 3-month courses and follows the path of the five principles of conscious social change:
- Cultivating Presence
- Becoming Whole
- Ensuring Balance
- Engaging Mindfully
- Leading from Within
Becoming Whole challenges us to be proactive in addressing our own wounding, fears, limiting beliefs and shadows that can distort our perspective and cause us unconsciously to harm others while protecting ourselves. The unexamined self has been at the root of many activist movements that have turned violent as well as leadership attained through oppression and prejudice. As institutions become ever-more integrated with cultural practice and dominant culture, they too can come to reflect the unconscious shadows of their members and the very imbalances of power that they were established to upset.
This course involves dialogue within a circle of 6+ participants. Each course is conducted as a correspondence course over 3 months and takes the following form:
- 1–2 books to read and discuss
- Weekly growth exercises and journal entries
- Daily practices that change weekly
"You have helped me find the courage to follow my path and provided a community in which I can share what I have learned."
"I am grateful for Gretchen's wisdom and guidance and for the wonderful weekly practices that I believe are slowly beginning to create subtle, yet important changes in my life . . . this work has been extremely transformational for me and I am immensely grateful . . . I am now actively planning a life that involves being true to my essential self . . . I have such a sense of freedom and possibility."
"This journey gave me the tools and the skills to go inward, to know myself, to live from my full body-rather than a head walking around sending messages to body to do things like a robot."
"The gift of the journey is that in a big way, you gave me myself . . ."
". . . in the year or so that I've known you I feel I have made major strides in my self growth . . . One of the lessons that I've been picking up from you is to really learn how to listen in to my own inner wisdom."

Every soul makes this journey…
The lucky few fly on wings of fire, the not so lucky walk or run,
and the truly unlucky tread not this path
for, it is the flight of the lone to the alone…
The knowers take the straight path,
determined-strugglers, the winding one and the vagabonds
stumble unto it – battered, bruised, and burnt by hell-fire.
Some make it in a few births, most, after many
– having traversed through several bodies
but each one has to line up to make this journey
of the "lone to the alone."
Difficult the path – through bush and bramble,
thorns and stones, mount and vale,
past revolving doors, fearsome goblins, and vaporous ghosts,
Cold phantoms, ravenous beasts, slithering snakes, and
the myriad forms that inhabit the dark corners of the mind
crawl out of every crevice the moment the journey begins.
The journey of the "lone to the alone" begins in the mind
and ends in the mind…
from yourself into your "self"; from himself into his "self"
Turbulence to tranquility; insanity to sanity…
coarse to the sublime…lone to the alone…


text: Reel Injun is an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through a century of cinema. Travelling through the heartland of America and into the Canadian North, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond looks at how the myth of "the Injun" has influenced the world's understanding – and misunderstanding – of Natives. With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and candid interviews with celebrated Native and non-Native directors, writers, actors, and activists including Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson, Graham Greene, Adam Beach, and Zacharias Kunuk, Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema's depiction of Native people from the silent film era to present day. reel injun

Here is an update to my clay cactus and pinch pot post from last week - we made dramatic backdrops! Photographing our pots for Artsonia was an important step for this lesson, so we decided to create a setting appropriate for our hot-climate-loving plants. Using black construction paper, we cut a silhouette of a desert and placed it in front of a multicolored tissue paper. I think they really set off the clay pieces nicely!
