Third Sunday in Lent The Collect: Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Old Testament: Exodus 20:1-17 1Then God spoke all these words: 2I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;3you shall have no other gods before me. 4You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, 6but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.8Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 10But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns.11For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. 12Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 13You shall not murder.14You shall not commit adultery. 15You shall not steal. 16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Psalm: Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork. 2 One day tells its tale to another, * and one night imparts knowledge to another. 3 Although they have no words or language, * and their voices are not heard, 4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, * and their message to the ends of the world. 5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; * it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course. 6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; * nothing is hidden from its burning heat. 7 The law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; * the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent. 8 The statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; * the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb. 11 By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can tell how often he offends? * cleanse me from my secret faults. 13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, * O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Epistle: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 18For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. Gospel: John 2:13-22 13The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”18The Jews then said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?”19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20The Jews then said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?”21But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
In today's episode Adam and Rosie are talking about the importance of giving your kids responsibility as opposed to putting pressure on them, especially for older children. Why they thought about this topic is because there is quite a big gap between the eldest child and the youngest, and Adam has found himself leaning on the oldest for help, but he's still trying to find that balance between treating him like a boy and young man. Marble analogy 0:50Making it fun and exciting 2:45Helping them be the hero 4:20Where the responsibility lies 8:00Trying something new and enthusiastic 13:30“I remember being drawn into conversations when I was a kid. I had NO capability of being able to process them, but people thought they were doing the right thing by informing me and communicating. So that's where the other thing is it's making sure there isn't a co-dependent relationship. He's the kid, I don't talk to him about adult stuff. I talk to my wife about adult stuff.” 10:12https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/Pick up a copy of Journal to Joy.

January 14, 2024 @ 10:00 a.m. The Greatest Sermon of All TimeCore 52: Are you Good?Matthew 5:20Where did we get the acronym G.O.A.T.? When did we start using it? How does it apply to the sermon on the mount? We will touch on all of those this week. The sermon on the mount is found in Matthew 5,6,7. It is said to be the greatest sermon ever shared by Jesus. Who are these words for? How can we apply Jesus' teachings today? This week we will look at the words found in Matthew 5:20. “20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”What is righteousness? How could ours possibly be greater than the religious leaders of Jesus' time? Jesus follows that statement with words that get to the heart of the matter. Because it is the heart that matters. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/escape-urself-podcast/support

In this week's episode, we explore the fascinating world of the human brain and its impact on stress management, parenting, and relationships. We had the privilege of inviting Dr. Alison Roy, a licensed clinical psychologist, and a bona fide brain enthusiast. I first heard Dr. Roy speak during the pandemic, and her insights on the brain, trauma, stress, and parenting were truly impactful.In our conversation, Dr. Roy sheds light on the science behind our reactions to stress and provides practical advice on how to maintain control and leverage our executive function skills—the skills governed by the pre-frontal cortex, a term you've probably heard me mention quite often. The aim? To improve and maintain our relationships, make parenting a bit easier, and in general, navigate life with a better understanding of our own minds.I urge you to listen to this episode, even if you're not a parent or caregiver. Much of the advice that Dr. Roy shares is universally applicable, and her passion for educating others about the brain is truly infectious. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I relished being a part of it.Here are some relevant resources related to the conversation:Dan Siegel's Bookshttps://drdansiegel.com/books/Hand Model of the Brain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-m2YcdMdFwPolyvagal theory in practicehttps://ct.counseling.org/2016/06/polyvagal-theory-practice/YouTube Video of Dr. Stephen Porges explaining the polyvagal theoryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec3AUMDjtKQMaslow's hierarchy of needshttps://www.thoughtco.com/maslows-hierarchy-of-needs-4582571Dr. Alison Roy's websitewww.dralisonroy.comSlides from Dr. Roy's Presentationhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Pk9stUBGV0L0X4ES6Csb5_BXTjbGndfZBeyond BookSmarthttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/Contact us!Reach out to us at podcast@beyondbooksmart.comIG/FB/TikTok @beyondbooksmartcoachingTranscriptHannah Choi 00:04Hi everyone and welcome to Focus Forward, an executive function Podcast where we explore the challenges and celebrate the wins you'll experience as you change your life by working on improving your executive function skills. I'm your host, Hannah Choi. Hannah Choi 00:18Yay, I am so excited to bring you today's show. As a parent and an official member of the brain nerd club, I am totally geeking out about my guest, Dr. Allison Roy. Allison is a licensed clinical psychologist, and she loves the brain and teaching people about it even more than I do. I first heard her speak during the pandemic, and her presentations on the brain and trauma and stress and parenting were just exactly what I needed at that time. And I still use what I learned from her even today, when I had the opportunity to see her speak again recently, I knew I had to get her on Focus Forward so you all could listen and learn from her, too. In our conversation about stress and how our brains are impacted by it, Allison shared some really practical things that we can do to manage that stress and stay in our thinking brains, you know that prefrontal cortex, you've heard me mention, oh, a billion times. This way, we can use our executive function skills to improve and maintain our relationships with the people in our families, and make parenting a little easier. If you're not a parent, or a caregiver of kiddos, I encourage you to listen anyway, especially to the first part, most of the advice that Allison shares really does apply to all of us. I truly hope you enjoy this conversation, as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. Now on to the show. Hannah Choi 01:55Hi, Alison, thank you so much for coming today, to talk with me about the brain, and parenting and executive function skills. I am just going to share with the listeners a little bit about how I met you. I during the pandemic you gave some presentations, virtual presentations through our public school system. And I'm not kidding when I say that those presentations and the way that you presented it made just like a massive difference for me and my family during the pandemic and actually get emotional when I think about it. Because like that was such a difficult time. But learning, learning about the brain and learning about what some actual, like real things that I could do that would make a difference made such a difference. And it also really informed my coaching. And it just informed my, my I already really loved the brain. So it just like reinforced that. So thank you so much for that. Yeah. And then we were reconnected recently when you spoke again, at our for our parent presentation. And again in our school systems, which was excellent. And so thank you so much for coming on the podcast,Dr. Alison Roy 03:09Of course, I'm really excited to be here. And it's so fun to be able to do stuff virtually. When you're not, you know, I'm in New Hampshire. And it's not always, you know, right down the road. So it's nice to be able to connect to different places and areas of the world. It's one thing that pandemic gave us.Hannah Choi 03:26Yes, yes. Yep. And it's amazing. You can still have such an impact on someone's life even virtually so. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so would you introduce yourselves to listeners and explain a little bit about your background?Dr. Alison Roy 03:43Yeah, so my name is Dr. Alison Roy. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of New Hampshire. I'm located in Exeter, New Hampshire, which is right on the seacoast area of New Hampshire. And I've been a psychologist for about two decades now. And I've practiced all over the world, I've had really cool opportunity to live in Europe and live in Asia and learn a lot and see a lot and experience a lot as a psychologist but also as a mom and as a family. So to my kids were born overseas. And so it's been a really fun adventure to kind of just see the world and learn a lot about human brains everywhere. As Hannah said, I'm a total brain nerd. I love understanding the neuro psychology or neurobiology of what's going on. When we're having real life experiences. It's validating to know that there's really things happening in our brain as to why we're feeling or thinking or doing in that moment. I specialize actually in post traumatic stress disorder and trauma. And that's how I got called upon quite a bit during the pandemic because we were all kind of going through something it was the first time we could really say that we were had a global trauma or stressful event and so a lot of districts, school districts did right by the parents. In our district and invited experts in to talk about why this was really hard. And it continues to be hard. We're all still healing from those couple of years. So I'm excited to come on today and talk about what that might look like in your own home. And hopefully it's validating and acknowledges, you know, some of what you experience every day. And and yeah, we'll do a little little brain learning together, too. Hannah Choi 05:22Cool. Thank you. Yeah, that validation piece was really important. For me when you gave that presentation, it made me feel better about like, why am I feeling this way? Oh, okay. It made a lot more sense. And I felt like, yeah, and then I felt like I could forgive myself a little bit, which, which felt really good. Dr. Alison Roy 05:40So good. Good. Like I said, so I'm a parent, too so I get it. I get it. I have three little guys. So yeah,Hannah Choi 05:46Yes, yes, you do get it. Yeah. So I would love for you to kind of just maybe even just do the same presentation that you did before. Because even though I knew a lot of what you shared, just hearing it, there's something about the way that you present all the information that just makes it really accessible and understandable. So would you share with our listeners, what you've taught, so many people about the brain and stress and how to manage it all. Dr. Alison Roy 06:18iI would love to. It's my favorite thing, to talk about the brain, I'm gonna pull up some slides, just mostly, as I was, you know, we were chatting before we got on today and started recording, I really just need help staying on track, actually, so. So it's helpful for me to have some slides to look at, so that I stay focused.Hannah Choi 06:39So I will, before you start, I just want to say that I will share these graphics in the show notes for anyone who's listening. So you can look along if you'd like.Dr. Alison Roy 06:49Absolutely, yeah, there's not gonna be there's gonna be three slides, I think three or four, maybe that will be good to kind of check out so. But I'll do my best to make it feel like you're looking at something even if you're just listening to us today. So so let's talk about this human brain of ours, and what happens when we experience stressful events. And these stressful events can come in a variety of ways. So certainly, you'll hear me talk about, alright, this is really what we're going to talk about today is that fight, flight, or freeze reaction that we have. And so we think about this a lot when we think about life threatening situations. So I always use the universally scary situation for all of us of being chased by a bear because I feel like I don't know if there's a human on this planet that would find that to be intimidating. So if you're being chased by a bear, you want this system to kick in and save your life. However, which is great, right, we have this great human system to do that, for us to to save our lives. However, your human brain does that reaction that fight flight or freeze reaction for many different reasons. And it could be that in a singular moment, you've something alerts your brain, and we're going to talk about how that would all the things that happen in that millisecond in your brain allows your brain to think, Oh, this is a life or death situation, when it's not actually and you have that reaction, your brain can also be pushed into that fight flight or freeze mode very gradually. So I call it the slow build or the fast punch. So it can happen in a fast punch type of way, like being chased by a bear or having a in the moment reaction. Or it could be that slow build, where you're you've had a stressful week. And just one more thing happens and you feel like you kind of fly off the handle or go into that fight flight or freeze mode. So again, this this part of our brain is is really amazing. And we want it to work because it saves our lives, it just can be a little frustrating when it's a really active system that fight flight or freeze systems activating a lot or too much. And we're being pushed into this red brain zone that we're going to talk about in a minute. So let's talk about these three zones. If you're a listen to this podcast regularly, you know a lot about that green zone up there, that executive functioning zone, that frontal lobe, that's where all of our beautiful executive functions are housed. And we only have access to our whole, all the colors of the brain, when we're at rest and digest. We call it rest and digest when we're at rest, when we're not stressed or not thinking of a million things or running around or doing a bunch of errands or you know have a project do at work and all the all the things are happening. So when we're when we're at rest, we have access to our full brain. So in other words, you don't need to have a diagnosis of ADHD in order to have the frontal lobe part of your brain be impacted and have a difficult time with some error executive functions. Because stress stress interferes with your ability to really access those at their full potential. So that's the green part of the brain as the first part of the brain that comes offline when we start to become stressed unfortunately. So the next part of the brain next part down is called the kind of the blue brain or the emotional brain. This part of the brain is all All about feeling, not about rational thoughts. So I like to call this part of the brain, the toddler section of the brain, about a toddler, right? They're all about big, big emotions, zero rational or logical thoughts. So that's really what the Blue Brain is all about, and needs the green brain in order to have that more rational or logical thought process. So when that green brain comes off line, you're left with a lot of emotions. And those emotions dictate your fight flight or freeze mode. And as you can probably imagine, if you're not connected to ration or logic, and you start to have an experience that might be overwhelming that emotion can overwhelm you and send you into that fight flight or freeze mode pretty easily. And then there's the red brain, the red brain is our survival brain, our reptilian brain, you've probably heard it called these things. Its sole job and purpose is to keep us alive. And so again, really cool part of the brain, really frustrating when it's in the driver's seat too much. And so what that part of the brain is engineered to do is be in control of our heart rate, our respiration, our blood pressure, our sleep wake cycles in our satiation queues, whether we're hungry or thirsty. And that's it. So as you can probably imagine, you've heard this used before, right? Like I can't even think about tomorrow, I just have to get through today. This is the kind of language we use when we're in that red brain, or we're just not hungry. Because we're just so focused or so stressed on getting through that part of the day. Dr. Alison Roy 11:33And so the red brain, when it takes over really only wants you to focus on those kind of survival functions, it doesn't want you to focus on doing math or being organized, or quite frankly, having empathy or compassion for others. So you can see how when you think about how you are as a human, when you're really stressed, we're not our best selves. And so we when we get pushed down into that red brain, that's the reason why that happens. So let's take a deeper look at how that happens. It's not something that we have control over, and nor do we want to have control over it. Because again, we want this to be the most instant automatic function that we have, because it's survival based. And so again, if a bear pops out of the woods, when you're hiking, you want to not think at all about your pot, you know, what you could do to get away you want your body to kind of react naturally. And hopefully, you freeze, right running away, or fighting a bear is not the option that your body wants you. And we're going to learn that we can go either way fight or flight or freeze, and that we all have the ability to go either way it as I'm talking a minute, I'm going to talk about those two kind of options, and what they look like in real life. And you can think about yourself or your spouse or partner your own children and kind of think about where they might fall, because some of us tend to have an automatic stress response of either fight or flight or freeze. But we have the ability to go either way. And sometimes it's dependent on the stimulus or what's happening in our environment that pushes us into that red brain. Okay, so when our amygdala, which is a very tiny structure is a tiny but mighty, very tiny structure in our brain that is working constantly. It works about three to 10 times a second, if you've never experienced any traumatic event, if you have any sort of traumatic event in your history, or you're just having a really stressful week, your amygdala is hyperactive hypersensitive, so it can be up to a scanning the room that you're in up to 100 times a second, so very, very active. So it's, it's like a smoke alarm or smoke detector. So its job is to scan your environment and decide if anything in that environment is scary, upsetting, worrisome, overwhelming, uncertain, even, like exciting. So even really positive over like big emotions can cause this amygdala to react. And the amygdala gets all its information to make this decision from your five senses. So it's use very, very connected to your five senses, meaning it uses smell, it uses temperature, sense of touch, temperature, sensing, Sight, Sound, so I like to give the example of one time I was I was talking about this with I work a lot with educators. I was sitting in a room with educated with a group of educators. And we all I'm, I'm quite literally talking about this slide and the smell of gas started coming into the room. And so you can see all the rooms kind of gets a little wide eyed and let's start looking around. That's your amygdala kind of going, um, something's going on here and like smell the gas and I know that means that this could potentially be a bad situation. So again, it's are five senses that tip off the amygdala. And have it kind of sound the alarm for lack of better words in our brain. And a cascade of actions and reactions happen very quickly. So again, this activates very quickly, you can think about when you get really upset, I was talking the other day about, when I get really upset, or my kids get really upset, we're a family of Door-slammers. So we'll kind of stomp off and slam the door. And of course, if you had rational, logical thought happening, you would know not to slam the door. But in that moment, that's the way your body's releasing that reaction. So that this cascade of actions and reactions start happening. So the amygdala says, "Oops, something's going on". It shuts down the green brain, and most of the Blue Brain, it kind of stops, I've seen the brain scans is stopped sending neuronal activity there. So those areas of the brain, when you look at like an fMRI or an MRI, you can see that the areas of the brain where there's neuronal activity happening, it's all colored, it's all lit up. And when this happens, it goes completely dark. So we kind of shoot go right down into this red brain. Because our brain is saying, I need to survive, right now I need to spend all my energy, all my neuronal activity, just within this red brain of focus in this very moment on survival. So green brain and Blue Brain mostly kind of shut down activity. Also, our left side of our brain goes completely offline as well. And the left side of the brain is where all the else so if you've ever read anything I learned with Dan Siegel at all, he's a great, he's a great person to look up and kind of explore a little bit, the whole brain child is his book. It's one of his books, he has many by great parenting books. But he talks about all the ELLs are all housed on the left side of the brain language, linear logic, all these beautiful ELLs while you lose them all when you go into the stress mode. And so you lose your words, you can't put good sentences together, you can't have a good linear sense of time. So you're kind of mental timeline gets all messed up. And so, so all of this is, believe it or not, all of this has happening in that moment, when you start to become stressed. Your memory processes also shifts. So the way we remember things shifts very much to our five senses. And that's where we get kind of trauma triggers from as our brain latches on to those five senses. In that moment, it doesn't remember things with language, because the language centers aren't accessible. And we lose our words, like I said, we lose our ability to have language in that moment, and certainly, this is one of my favorites, ways of looking at all this beautiful executive functions. So all of what you're seeing on this screen is all of the executive functions list. So impulse control, be able to take turns focus, concentrate, attend, have perspective, taking have empathy, all of that is, is beautiful, and a beautiful part of our human brain will all of it goes out the window when we start to go down into this read brain. And so as you can probably imagine, as an adult, you know, you know this, we have a fully developed frontal lobe by about 25 ish. And so we have the best frontal lobe we could possibly have. So when we lose a lot of this in a stressful moment, we still have more capacity than a child does. Because a kiddo doesn't have that fully developed frontal lobe yet. And so when they go into stress brain, we really see some big reactions with very little logic or rational thinking. And they tend to go on much longer, think epic temper tantrums, because they don't have this ability to access any sort of frontal lobe functions. Okay, so last little part I'll talk about today. And maybe one more slide. But this this is, so this is not my image. But you can see that the website that's on there, they have some great information as well around mental health and just they have these graphics that they produce, to be able to help people be able to talk about this stuff more, they just want to promote people talking about it, which is great. And so what I like about this is it shows in real life, and I'm going to talk about this what it looks like when we're having that red brain reaction that fight flight or freeze reaction. And this is based on the polyvagal theory of the stress response system. And that's Porges' theory. And again, if you Google polyvagal theory, you'll come up with lots of really fascinating information. There's volumes and volumes written about it. And it's my favorite way of kind of thinking about or talking about the stress response because I feel like to me when the first time I learned this, it was so incredibly validating because it just made the neuroscience make sense for real light. Yeah. So let's look at this for a second. So In the middle, this, the person you see in the middle is at rest and digest, meaning there is no alarm bells going off with the amygdala, all parts of the brain are online. And she's quite literally at rest and digest, which means she looks happy or relaxed. She looks happy. Yeah, this is what we want to be at, right? This is where I would hope we would spend most of our time. So you know, she's able to have a heart rate, that's nice and even blood pressure's in good shape, respiratory systems in good shape. And she's quite literally able to digest her food, actually heard a really interesting NPR story, just coming out of the pandemic. So probably late last year, when they were talking, they're interviewing primary care doctors who said they were prescribing and acids or digestive aids at like a very high rate. And it's makes sense because we spent so much time being stressed our digestive systems, one of the first systems that will be implicated in that. So we can't digest our food if we're not if everything else isn't at rest. And so it is going to see if you have heartburn, indigestion, belly aches, tummy aches, and we hear this a lot from our kids when they're stressed. It makes perfect sense because the digestive system gets very complicated.Hannah Choi 21:17I remember when I was in graduate school, I had really bad acid reflux. And now I know.Dr. Alison Roy 21:23Yes. Oh, absolutely. And terrible sleep patterns. Probably. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The two biggest disrupted system. So yeah, yep. And they're always my biggest red flag. So I always when a family comes to me, I do a lot of work. So I have a private practice as well. I do a lot of work with adolescents and young people and their families, I do a lot of family work. And that's one of the things I asked first about what are your sleep patterns, like what are eating patterns like, because often I can find a lot of clues within there, that the family system might be stressed. So if we're not at rest and digest, and we've seen over the past several years with what we've all been through, with a pandemic, and everything that has brought with it, that this window of rest and digest should be about here, and it's been it's shrunk, it's a little bit smaller for all of us, because we've just spent so much time being stressed. The beautiful part about the human brain, which you probably also know if you're a brain geek, like me is the human brain has neuroplasticity. So just because it's shrunk over the past couple of years doesn't mean we can't expand it as well. So that's good. That's a really great part. Yeah, it's a really beautiful part, you just have to work on it. And we're going to talk about so I'm on the left hand side, you see what looks like this same character in the middle who's at rest and digest has now been pushed into what we call hyper arousal, which is fight or flight. So you can see her kind of running away from the situation, which is a lot of our reactions. When we get really stressed either we physically run away, or we feel like I don't know if you've ever had that feeling where your body feels so agitated, like you just want to get out of the situation. Or yeah, yes. Or it comes out in aggression of some kind. Not all of us don't slam doors, like maybe my family does, but you feel like your fists might be clenching up, you feel your body tense up. So that is because in that hyper arousal fight or flight mode, we're producing so much adrenaline and cortisol, that our body to quite literally get ready to run away or fight something off. Our body doesn't really know what to do with that. And that produces certain symptoms, like irritability, anger, frustration, crying, again, stopping slamming doors, yelling, screaming, crying tantruming. So any of those over the top kind of emotional reactions, that's hyper arousal. Now I'm sure there's some of you out there going right now. Oh, yeah, no, that's me. I definitely do that. Just hyper aroused, stressed person. So if that resonates with you, that is real, and there's a reason why that's happening. So, or if that resonates for your kiddos, if you have a kiddo that becomes very overly emotional when they're upset as well, that that hyper arousal reaction. Now on the other side of the screen is our character kind of curled in a ball, head down, looking pretty sad or withdrawn. This is hypo arousal or freeze mode. So freeze doesn't always mean quite literally freeze, it means your body is shutting down in order to survive by reserving all of its resources. So your blood pressure is going to drop very, very low, your heart rates going to actually slow down, your breathing is going to slow down because your body's preparing to survive in a very different way. And so that's what we're seeing here and this looks very similar to depression. It looks like we don't want to engage with others, we want to kind of shut the world out, we want to just kind of go to sleep or sleeping in too much sleeping is often a sign of a stress response. So shutting down in that way, or I do see, especially some of my high achieving adolescents that I work with. And also we do this as adults a lot is what we call fawning or robotic compliance, where we're just like, everything's fine. I'm totally fine, everything's fine as one of our legs is quite literally on fire. So. So we do that, too. We try to avoid the stress and pretend like it's not happening, but then it almost always bubbles over in some way. So this is a polyvagal theory. So check it out, get some more information about it. I do really like it. And it makes sense to me. Okay, last slide. Like I promised, I just wanted to highlight. Again, if you're having some sort of stress in your life, some overwhelming stress in your life, there's systems that are most impacted by stress, our sleep, eating and digestion. So if you start to see disruptions in any of those areas, so sleep, having a hard time staying asleep, falling asleep, having nighttime disturbances, like nightmares, or night terrors, or sleeping too much. Usually, it's to avoid that might be a sign of stress eating, we either eat too much, because we're trying to sell suit or make ourselves feel better with food, or we're not eating enough because we're not attending to those social social cues that you didn't get the eating cues, association cues. Also, I just read a really interesting study about "hangriness". I don't know if anyone gets hangry. Yeah, I do. And so my kiddos, well, there's a good reason for that our cortisol levels are inversely related to how full or hungry we are. So we get really hungry. Our cortisol levels skyrocket. And so it's all about glucose and cortisol levels. And so there's a real again, a real reason why we get hangry.Hannah Choi 27:04That's also validating, to hear Yeah, right.Dr. Alison Roy 27:08Not crazy. There's reason why I get hangry. So bring snacks always bring snacks, and then digestion. And so if you have a kiddo, or yourself who's got some tummy troubles going on, you just always feel like you've got an upset stomach, even we feel this in very small amounts, if we're going to give a presentation or we have something that we're quite anxious or nervous for, right, we get that butterflies in our stomach. So all of this just kind of combined, is I find it validating. It makes me feel like okay, there's real stuff going on, when we start to become really stressed and go into that stress mode. So, yeah,Hannah Choi 27:44Great, thank you. I feel like something that I just have noticed in my life. And just everything that I hear from people is I feel like people talk sort of peripherally about sleep and make sure you sleep enough, make sure you eat enough, make sure you know, you're exercising or whatever. But but it almost feels like it's just like, oh, yeah, yeah, I know. But it's true. You really do need to, it's that conversation. I feel like needs to be taken more seriously. Or something. We need to change the message somehow this is not just Yeah, yeah, thing like, need to, like really address it.Dr. Alison Roy 28:25Yeah. And if you think about if you're familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs another really great accessible thing to Google will really resonate with a lot of listeners, I bet. But Maslow's hierarchy of needs is all about how do you achieve your full greatness, essentially, and you have to start the bottom part of the triangle, the bottom part of that triangle, the first step to achieving greatness is taking care of the most basic of needs. And if you don't do that, you can't move up the ladder. And so there is very good solid research decades and decades of research around sleep and eating and just the basic needs needing to be taken care of because our brain needs rest in order to have that ability to have neuroplasticity and grow and change.Hannah Choi 29:10Yeah, yeah. Yep. Great. So how is so how does so can you give some examples of like in someone's household, like how this kind of stress might impact everybody? Yeah, parents down to kids.Dr. Alison Roy 29:26Yeah. Yeah. So I always think about, you know, I, so I, I work a lot with the director of psychiatry at Dartmouth, and he and I have become really good friends and I have a really tough situation I'm working through I often call him and I did that for one of the families I was working with. I said, I just need some help. I need some strategies on what to do next. And he's said, sounds like you've got a polyvagal storm happening in that family. And I loved that concept of that image of that poly vagal reaction. I was just describing fight flight or freeze, if you're all having it individually as a family, you're all going to be having it as a family unit. And because our brains do play off each other. So there's lots of really good research out there about mirror neurons, which are also part of our frontal lobe. And our mirror neurons talk to other human brains, especially ones that we're very connected to. So our family members, all of our mirror neurons are very, very connected. And so when we start to get stressed, meaning us as parents, our kids brains are going to automatically respond to that. And it's crazy, if you were to, if you were to spend a lot of time being stressed as parents, and you looked at your cortisol levels, and even though your kids are experiencing that stressor, maybe it's a stressor at work, or you know, it's adult stuff that your kids aren't necessarily aware of, but there's cortisol levels are going to rise to meet yours. So our brains are very interconnected in that way and can play off each other stress wise. So it is important, we as parents are guilty of not taking care of ourselves very well sometimes. But if I can, yeah, it's hard if I can get you to buy into doing some self care for for you, but also for your kiddos, because the more you stay regulated, the more likely they're also going to be regulated. And you won't get caught up in that polyvagal storm.Hannah Choi 31:26Yeah, I remember that so much. Especially when my kids were younger. I I just remember thinking like, oh, yeah, this is we're all we're all like feeding off of each other right now. Nobody is helping anybody right now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I remember one particular moment, right after my son was born. So now. So at this point, I have like, maybe like a month old baby, and then a three year old and then me. And then my husband was working from home. And he came up from his basement office, and the three of us were sitting on the couch crying. He was like, oh, no, what happened? And I knew what happened. Yeah. We all I'm sure needed a snack. Dr. Alison Roy 32:09Yeah, and probably a nap. So yeah, we started there, or you're probably tired, or you're probably hungry. SoHannah Choi 32:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have a strategy that we teach our clients that you maybe you've even heard of, because I don't think we came up with it. HALT stands for like hungry, angry or anxious, Lonely or Tired. And it's such a good thing to check in, check in on.Dr. Alison Roy 32:32Yeah, and one of the, one of the ways so we've we've already talked about a couple of the ways to stop this polyvagal response from happening in his tracks, is to, you know, figure out basic needs or there's some sort of basic need, because if you're hungry, if you're tired, you will trigger that red brain response. Whether even if like your amygdala picks up on nothing else in the environment. Unfortunately, your amygdala also picks up on internal cues. So even if you're thinking about something that's stressful, your amygdala will also pick up on that. So even if the environment around you is as calm as can be. So um, so yeah, we always talk about that strategy. But also, you know, if you're like, Okay, well know that they've gotten enough sleep. And we don't need a snack right now, we just had a snack connection, human connection. So let's fix that loneliness, like you just said, is actually the number one way to decrease that red brain response. Because if you remember the Blue Brain, you've got partial Blue Brain online, when you're even when you're in that red brain response. And that that Blue Brain is looking for MI loved. And if you're able to connect with someone, and it doesn't have to be very long research shows it has to be even 30 seconds of connection. So a hug, can can calm that red brain or at least bring a little bit more of the blue and green brain back online.Hannah Choi 33:56I remember learning about that. Like she called it a 20-second hug in the book "Burnout". Yeah, yeah. And as one way to, like close that stress loop. And so the other day, my son had a really stressful morning before school, and, and he was really having a hard time. And I was like, You need a 20-second hug. Come here. Yeah, I was like, Mom, I don't have time for a 20-second Hug. Dude, you need it. So, I scooped him up. I'm like, Just relax into me for 20 seconds. I think we lasted maybe 10 seconds.Dr. Alison Roy 34:30I think that's funny. So two thoughts about that. One is parents always asked me but what if they're not wanting a hug in that moment, and I and I get that I've been there. I don't have teenagers yet. But I can imagine with teenagers that's particularly hard. So sometimes I say to him, I said, Do you need a hug to my own kids? And they'll say no. And sometimes I'll say, well, I need one. And that's not untrue. Actually, there's a lot of times where we're having some sort of stress response together and I could use a hug as well. And that'll Almost always loops almost always get them so. But the other thing I wanted to say about that is I taught from the book "Burnout" for several years. And I love that book. I love that. It speaks our language, right of like the brain's response to burnout. And someone came back to me and said, you know, you talked about the 20-second Hug. And my husband and I have now decided when we get an argument, we're going to stop and do a 20-second hug and then continue the argument. And she said, It works every time to do that's awesome. It's super awkward because it's, if you actually time 20 seconds, it's a long time to be so funny. I was like, That's a great story. I love it.Hannah Choi 35:41I love that. Yeah. It's funny. That's, that's, that's great advice. And I actually learned that a long time ago when my daughter was one I was at I was in a mom's group and someone in the moms' group brought an astrologist to the moms' group. And she just did like little mini readings on all of our kids. And she told me, she said, you're Yeah, it was very cool. She said, Your daughter is not going to be a hugger. But she's going to need hugs. So you're gonna have to tell her that you need a hug in order to get her to get the hugs that she needs. So I've always used that for her. Dr. Alison Roy 36:21Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And 'cause some people aren't naturally that way. Yeah.Hannah Choi 36:25Yeah. And that reminds me of the article that we talked a little bit about the last time you presented that, or in the New York Times article, where the teacher I think, asked, "Do you need to be hugged, heard or helped?" And, and I love that, and I love that she said that she finds that most people just want to be hugged. Which which shows, yeah, you do need that physical touch.Dr. Alison Roy 36:50Right? Yeah. So most people in that I think what happens when we become stressed is or when we see a loved one being stressed. So as a parent, especially I find this when our kiddos are stressed or upset or frustrated, or whatever that big powerful emotion is. It's hard for us to tolerate that distress because we love them. And we don't want to see them hurting. And also, it's upsetting to us. So we start to have reaction that we don't like, either. So it's really hard to watch that. And so what we typically end up doing, I think I talked about this is trying to fix, because our heap, that's what our human brain does, our human brains are problem solving machines. And so they like to be able to solve the problem and move on. But as we know, most problems aren't solvable. And so when we need come up against something that's not solvable, or that's uncertain, or doesn't have any answer, it does send that secondary brain red brain reaction. And so, as parents, it's hard to pull it back and go to that. Do you need a hug? Do you need to be heard? Or do you need to be helped? Because we jumped to the helped part. And a lot of the times when we're upset, we're not ready to be helped. And I think I said this too, when we were talking earlier is that men, dads, tend to go to help even quicker, like that male kind of response. I'm sorry, that's your male brain. I'm sorry. Yeah. They are the problem-solvers. And so really helping just us as parents learn. Asking that question first helps to slow things down. To give that hug to hear them out to validate validation doesn't mean you agree, you can say I'm sorry, you're sad. Sounds like you're sad, anything like that, even if you think it's ridiculous at their side, and this will be up here and that internal dialogue, right, this is crazy. I can't believe I'm validating the side of this right now. Yeah, they need to be heard. And then you can get to that problem solving piece if they're when they're ready for it and you allow those first two steps to happen. Usually, then they're on board for Okay, let's move forward. How do we do that?Hannah Choi 38:58And the easiest way to do that, I imagine is if you are regulated yourself, and yeah, accessing that your frontal lobe and your executive function skills, you need that perspective taking and cognitive flexibility, right, empathy. Dr. Alison Roy 39:13Yeah, so it's always okay to take a minute. I talked sometimes about the show "Bluey". When I talked to parents, and I don't know if you're, we're a big Bluey fan in our house andHannah Choi 39:24My kids are too old.Dr. Alison Roy 39:26Yeah, oh, that's too bad. You should watch it anyways. Um, yeah, it's totally entertaining his parents, but there's an episode where the mom and the two there's two little girls and the well, they're all dogs, but they are, you know, it's after school very clearly. And the kids are like, oh, oh, and mom's making snacks. And she's looking a little stressed and the dad comes home and she's like, I need a minute. And he's like, yep, yep, no problem. And so she goes and takes 20 minutes. And chaos ensues while she's gone, but adorable chaos. But you know, it's always okay to take that time to say, I just need a minute to be able to then come back and as long as you come back around and are fully engaged. Yeah, so, and Dan Siegel talks about that as well, in his book, Parenting From the Inside Out, he does a really great job of talking about engaged, sometimes you're ready to engage, you come home from work, you walk in the door, let's do it, I want to play Legos. And I want to get down on the floor, and I want to engage, and I'm gonna see all the things you did at school today. There are other times we come in the door. Likely, it's those times when our red brains already been activated before we come in that door. And we're just not ready to go down that path with our kids. Yep. And it's okay to say I just need 10 minutes, set a timer, and I'll be right there with you, and then just loop back around with them. And that that repair that coming back around can be just as powerful if not moreHannah Choi 40:48And such good role modeling for your kids. That it's showing them it's okay to do that. Yeah. So I haveDr. Alison Roy 40:55Impulse control. Yeah, our new society is on demand. And so have prolong that reward. It's super, super beneficial for their frontal lobe. So yeah,Hannah Choi 41:09I have a friend who has shared with me that it's, she finds it very difficult to take that pause, she, she immediately reacts, she, like immediately yells or immediately wants to fix something. And it's really difficult for her to just breathe and stop. And so do you have any recommendations for parents who might feel that way?Dr. Alison Roy 41:30Yeah, so some of us are naturally chemically made that way, well, we're just more reactive. So I would say in the moment to try to take a breath to try to remind yourself to that pause, remember hug, heard or helped, right. So just in that moment, trying to remember those steps. So that's something there's also a lot to regulating when we're not dysregulated. So working in regulation to try to ease off that irritability when we're not in the moment. So that's always something I try to recommend to parents get that regular, regular diet of regulatory moments, and they don't need to, I don't need to be big. And I think that was something I needed to hear, especially during the pandemic is, you know, like I said, three to five minutes, if it's a regulatory activity that you enjoy, whether it's taking a walk, or getting some fresh air, getting sunshine, or listening to a good song or podcast, you don't need a ton of time. And it can be less 30 seconds or less if you're just doing that physical connection. So just trying to weave those in throughout your day, to kind of keep that irritability level a little bit lowerHannah Choi 42:37The baseline, get the baseline lower. Dr. Alison Roy 42:39The baseline, right? We want to keep in that tolerance there. And then the last thing I will say is, it's okay, if that's your natural personality, or if you're in it right now, you know, meaning like maybe all three of your kids are under the age of five, and you're spending a lot of time in that zone. Because what can be even more powerful is if you have that snap reaction, the moment is being able to come back around and say, I'm sorry, I wasn't my best self. And here's how we how can we do better next time and making it about the week? It's about the pair? It's about that dyad a parent child, how can we do better next time. And that is, it's so so powerful, the repair. And it's also a really good role modeling of accountability, I just read a really good article about, we want our kids to be accountable. And accountability isn't something that's naturally kind of within us fully, we have to have that modeled and demonstrated for us. And the parent apology is so powerful and modeling accountability. And then the last piece, I'll say about that, yeah, that was I was cool article for me to read. I thought, Oh, this is really cool that we want our kids to be accountable, we have to demonstrate that. And the last thing I'll say about that is is changing the way we talk about apologies and this is something I've been pretty. Ever since learning this I've really helped my kids kind of understand this and as a family understand this is when we apologize, it's we don't have to say it's okay. There are times when it's okay, and we can say that's okay. There are times when it's not okay. And so it's better to say thank you for apologizing, because it makes it more about the weight of the apology and appreciating that than it is about the action that causedHannah Choi 44:22Right, right, right. Something that I remember from your presentation, during the pandemic, you talked about how repetition like repetitive behaviors can be really calming to the brain. Can you share a little bit about that?Dr. Alison Roy 44:40Yeah, so rep got repetitive, rhythmic? Any sort of anything like that? Can be it resonates with that bottom part, that red part of our brain, and that's something that we are wired for as humans from the get go. So when we're in utero, we're being regulated by our moms, right, there's nothing that we can do to regulate ourselves. So we're being regulated by, certainly her body temperature, her way of feeding us, but also her body movements, or rhythmic movements and her heartbeat. And so we are pre programmed to have that resonate with the most primal part of our brain. And so the brain scans that they've done just show when we do these repetitive rhythmic movements, how it engages and lights up that bottom part of the brain shows us or demonstrates to us that that's really that's the language of that part of the brain. So if we want to regulate that part of the brain, so that's why swinging. So you see kids that are, you know, have those swings at school. So swinging, walking or running is so helpful. So they'll actually there's been studies done where kids with speech and language delays, they'll put them on a treadmill and have them do their like activities on a treadmill and how much more productive they are, because it's just regulating that caught in that red part of their brain and the left side. Yeah, so really cool. Drumming. So anything like that, if you can think of rhythmic and repetitive, anything, those two words are really, really regulating coloring. So even this motion of coloring, these things really do work. So again, giving science so what we're told, right, there's like these coloring books, these adult coloring books and yoga and walking and running. And, you know, why are why are these things helpful? Well, there's a real reason why they're helpful. Because it does resonate with that part of our brain.Hannah Choi 46:44Right? I love that. It really, truly does. And I've said this before, so many times on the podcast and all of my clients, I'm sure I'm like, yeah, yeah. But to learn to learn about what's going on in your brain, just helps so much understand, like, why I'm so like, why am I supposed to do these things to help myself? And just knowing that why really, for me, always motivates, motivates my, like, just motivates me in doing those things. Yeah, yeah. So as soon as like, as soon as I learned about how it never even occurred to me, but like, you have to practice your, whatever self regulation strategies you use, you have to practice them so that so that they're easily accessible when it's time to use them. And yes, and it didn't occur to me like, well, we practice walking, so that walking is easily accessible to us when we need it. Or we practice anything like anything that we need to come easily to us. So learning that about, about whatever self regulation strategies that we need to use, yeah, let's practice them. So I just like drive around doing that square breathing. And, yes, and then it just comes so much more easily to me, when I'm in a moment where I'm like, Okay, well, yeah, you know how to do this.Dr. Alison Roy 48:07I always say, practice and have any tools that you might need to regulate, like, I'll go back to the coloring have a coloring book and crayons. Yeah, whatever it is in a designated place, because you go, last thing you want to do is be stressed when you're trying to find your regulation.Hannah Choi 48:20Where's my coloring book? Dr. Alison Roy 48:22Yeah, that is and you talk about practice square breathing, just to go and we'll do one more geeky brain thing but neuronal development is, you know, it's a, if you don't use it, you lose it. So if you don't use parts of your brain that actually will, your brain will prune that area of your brain. And so we definitely want the brain pruning what we want it to prune and not pruning other things. But neurons, we say "neurons that fire together wire together". So the more we use in neuronal pathway, like square breathing, the more wired it becomes, the more quick and accessible. This is why we practice tying our shoes, we practice riding our bikes, you know, as kids, there's lots of examples of that neuronal development of creating that pathway that's quite clunky at first, and then the more you use, it becomes lightning fast, because it's well oiled machine. And so you want that to be true for your coping skills or regulatory skills as well.Hannah Choi 49:18Yeah, I give both my kids play instruments and I, they're so tired of me hearing hearing me talk about executive function skills, and the brain. But I do remind them like, you, when you first got that piece of music, you looked at it and thought, Oh, my brain, like I don't know how to do this. And now you can play it without even looking at the music. And that's such a good evidence that that it is yes, we do get better when we practice and it's so worth it to put effort into the things that we do.Dr. Alison Roy 49:47Yeah, music is part of that rhythmic repetitive. That's why so many of us are regulated by music of some kind.Hannah Choi 49:55Yeah, yeah. So you have anything else that you that's that you want to share with parents who might be struggling in the moment.Dr. Alison Roy 50:05Yeah, I think the last thing I'll end on and this is just something I love talking about, because for me as a parent, I think it changed. The way I parented when I learned this is all about temper tantrums, and where they fit into this profile. So I think I mentioned temper tantrums are red brain reactions. So when we're having one of those temper tantrums, our kids are having one of those temper tantrums because we have we have them as adults. We don't ever stop having temper tantrums. That's a big myth, no, we always have them. But it does look different depending on how much frontal lobe we have. But when our kids are having those temper tantrums, when I was an early parent I was always told to ignore leave them alone, have them leave the room. And what that actually does is create this secondary panic response. Because in that moment, our red brain is looking for hugged helped or you know, heard. And so I always give the example of the first time I learned this about a temper tantrum not to ignore but to actually engage. I tried it. I called I called my colleague after this is all over and said, Oh my gosh, it actually worked does not magic, it actually worked. So my youngest, he was about two, maybe two and a half at the time. And his name is Finnegan and he is fiery Finnegan Riley, and he fits that name perfectly as a fiery Irishman. And he wanted a popsicle. I was like, Oh yeah, sure, buddy. Go ahead and and went into the freezer, and we only had orange popsicles and full blown meltdown. And in that moment, his brain viewed that as a life or death situation. I'm laughing because as adults are like this, isn't it? Yeah. So I was I saying to myself and my in my head, right internal dialogue. This is crazy. But on the outside, I said, Oh, buddy, I know it's so hard when you only only have orange popsicles and you want a red one. I'm sorry, you're sad? How can we help this to go better, I got down, I just sat down on the floor next to him. And just kept kind of saying those things over and over again. And he eventually crawled in my lap and was he was still sad. But was able to then calm down. And you know, when I before I did it, I thought isn't that giving in to the temper tantrum? reinforcing it right? This is what we're always afraid of as parents is reinforcing it. And no giving into the temper tantrum or reinforcing it would be driving to the store and getting that red popsicle. In that moment. All I was doing was giving his red brain what it needed to be able to get that logic and rational thought what little he hasDr. Alison Roy 50:26Whatever he hasDr. Alison Roy 52:40To come back online. Oh, okay, I'm, I'm this is, you know, there's still popsicles just not the color I wanted. And how can we move forward? So yeah, it's not perfect. It's not a perfect science. But, you know, learning that I think, to me really changed the way I parented.Hannah Choi 53:05Yeah. And it is so hard to because we're also probably pretty, if we're not, maybe we're just in our emotional brain, but we're probably also a little bit down in our red brain. So it's hard. We have to, like, get ourselves out of there to be able to do that instead of just yelling it or just slamming the door and leaving the room. Right? Yes.Dr. Alison Roy 53:26Yeah. And I found that reaction to be calming for me to to be like deep breath. Yeah, how crazy this is. Yeah, get on the floor. Right. Right. It's really hard. Yes. You saying it to yourself to man, this is really hard.Hannah Choi 53:41I'm having a hard time. I'm having a hard time. Yeah, yeah. I remember putting my daughter in. She wouldn't she was tantruming for so long. And I was just losing my mind. So I ended up filling the tub. And I put her in clothed in the tub. And she stoppedDr. Alison Roy 54:02Yeah, cuz her amygdala needed something temperature wise. Yep. Yeah,Hannah Choi 54:07yeah. Yeah.Dr. Alison Roy 54:09Do the best. We do the best that we can we doHannah Choi 54:12That's right. That is right. Sometimes they go in the tub clothed. At least I made the water warm. At least I didn't wasn't like you're getting cold.Hannah Choi 54:26All right. Well, thank you so much, Alison. This is just I mean, we know both of us could probably keep talking about this all day. But forever as I Yeah, people probably have places to go or they have like regulating activities to go practice. Dr. Alison Roy 54:41I hope so. Go practice your regulating activities! Hannah Choi 54:44I hope so too. And can you share with our listeners where they can find you and maybe some of your favorite resources that people might want to check us?Dr. Alison Roy 54:53Of course I have a website that I'm super terrible at updating but it does have some good resources on it. Hi, it's Dr. Alison roy.com. All one word, Dr.AlisonRoy.com. And then within that website, there's lots of different links to stuff including my YouTube channel, which is where I save a lot of the good resources that I find is even a playlist for parents and educators. So check that out. Certainly. And, yeah, that's, that's hopefully some resources for you.Hannah Choi 55:25Great, thank you so much. And that's our show for today.

Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany The Collect: Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Old Testament: Micah 6:1-8 1Hear what the Lord says: Rise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. 2Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel. 3“O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me! 4For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of slavery; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5O my people, remember now what King Balak of Moab devised, what Balaam son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the saving acts of the Lord.” 6“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” 8He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Psalm: Psalm 15 1 Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? * who may abide upon your holy hill? 2 Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, * who speaks the truth from his heart. 3 There is no guile upon his tongue; he does no evil to his friend; * he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor. 4 In his sight the wicked is rejected, * but he honors those who fear the Lord. 5 He has sworn to do no wrong * and does not take back his word. 6 He does not give his money in hope of gain, * nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. 7 Whoever does these things * shall never be overthrown. Epistle: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 18For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 26Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, 29so that no one might boast in the presence of God. 30He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31in order that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12 1When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: 3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. 8“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11“Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Happy New Year everyone! Danielle is now 31 and Sandra finds party planning to be stressful. Danielle's first topic of 2023 is the murder of singer, Christina Grimmie. She was shot on June 10, 2016, after performing at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida. Christina was known for her strong vocals and support for her loyal fans. She started on YouTube and continued to increase in popularity. She joined as a contestant on the sixth season of The Voice. Christina was destined for stardom and one fan took an obsessive interest in her life. Later, episode Sandra talks about ogres. Not to be confused with giants or trolls, ogres are defined as large creatures that eat ordinary human beings and are fond of children or infants. They have appeared in folklore and mythology for generations, and today the most famous ogre is Shrek.

First Reading1 CORINTHIANS 1:17-2517For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart." 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.GospelMATTHEW 25:1-131"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; 4but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6But at midnight there was a cry, `Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 7Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said to the wise, `Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9But the wise replied, `Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. 11Afterward the other maidens came also, saying, `Lord, lord, open to us.' 12But he replied, `Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 13Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
This episode is all about understanding the impact of sensory deficit on function after stroke on function, and what to do about it. Dr.Leeanne Carey is the Head of the Neurorehabilitation and Recovery Research Group co-located at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health and La Trobe University.

Message: Genesis 37:1-11 “Dreams and Where they Lead Us” Joseph has his dream of his brothers and parents bowing down to him and they resent him. The fact that Joseph had a special coat given to him by his father means Jacob had big dreams for him. When Joseph receives the dream telling him that his disgruntled brothers will one day bow down to him, he is excited for the change. But the fulfillment of God's vision for Joseph will not come easily or as expected. The path to ascension will begin with a descent. The process will transform Joseph. In the same way, God has a vision for our lives, and it is a plan to prosper us, not to harm us. But the path toward the fulfillment of that plan will be challenging and uncomfortable. Like Christ's ascension through the Cross, we too will be humbled before we become all that God dreams for us.

(Mark 4:1)- 20Where do we find true change? Christians can look at themselves and wonder why they are not different to those around. They can be tempted to give up on the Gospel, because they can't see it making any difference. In this sermon, David Kobedi looks at the Parable of the Sower to show how true Christian change takes place and what it looks like.
“…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:20Where a man's heart is, that is where his treasure is too!The wisest man who ever lived, Solomon, was also the richest man who has ever lived. Making money, making wealth, he called it vanity. He said it is like chasing the wind, like grasping for the wind. We need to invest in heavenly things. In the story in Luke 12:20, where the rich man (he was a farmer) had a wonderful crop... He says, “I am going to make new barns, then I am going to store up all my crop in that barn and then I am going to eat, drink and be merry.” And the Lord says: “You fool, tonight your very life will be required of you.” - We need to invest in eternal things! John Wesley, when he died, he left six pounds in his will - That was one pound for each pallbearer that was going to carry his coffin to the grave. He wrote many books. He sent all his money straight back into the ministry. George Müller, that German, made a children's home in Bristol, England which took care of tens of thousands of children. When he died, all he had in his will was a table, a chair and a bed. They found in the accounting system that there was an anonymous donor who had been putting money into the children's home for years and years and years... They only found out afterwards it was him, himself, who was putting his money straight into the orphanage.I don't know if you have watched that movie Schindler's List. Schindler was a member of the Nazi party and he all of a sudden had a change in his life and he started to save the Jews from the gas chambers - He did it through his factory. Little children, he would bring them in and he would save them and would pay money to the Gestapo to keep these people safe. Do you know that he saved 1,100 Jews from the gas chambers and the fiery furnaces? Right at the end of that movie, they came and they brought him a gold ring - I think they had made it out of gold that they had taken from their very teeth and inside it was engraved, “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." - It is from the Talmud, and he broke down and he wept when these 1,100 Jews at the end of the war, came and said, thank you to him. He said, “I could have done so much more.”I want to say to you today, “Let's not waste our money and effort on things that will perish with rust and just disappear. Let's invest in heavenly things that will last forever.God bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
We have a simple technique that we want to share with you today about converting your self doubt into confidence and Rosie tells a story about when she was able to really improve her self confidence by looking at her past and creating a list of what she had achieved up to that point. The power of paper is high if you utilise it in planning ahead for your business rather than just doing things for the sake of doing them. We talk about Rosie's journal she's been creating that's going to really influence and change our lives as well as your life if you decide to use it. Thinking and planning first 3:02Acknowledging your successes 8:24This journal can change lives 13:20Where you self esteem can be found 17:11“It's literally get a pen and paper and write in all the areas of your life, where have you progressed? And then just see does the emotional feeling now, right now about that area, match the actual progress? Have you been acknowledging the progress? Have you been giving yourself a little bit more credit? Or are you being harsh on yourself?” 8:24https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/https://www.theirishmummy.com
Way Over Our Heads 5-15-2021SPEAKERSJim du Bois, Kenny Blumenfeld Jim du Bois 00:00You asked for it. Summer's coming. This is Way Over Our Heads. It's weather and climate podcast. I'm Jim du Bois, Kenny Blumenfeld's a climatologist. Kenny, how you doing? Especially considering that you made a bold prediction. In our last episode, you said it was going to get hot at the end of May. We're almost to the midway point of May. And it's kind of looking like your prognosis was correct. Kenny Blumenfeld 00:28Oh, yeah. I'm feeling smug and super smart. Oh, yeah. All of it. I'm doing all right, Jim. You know, the weather always has me on the edge of my seat. So I guess that makes today no different from any other day. But yeah, it's coming into an interesting time. For sure. How are you? Jim du Bois 00:48You know, Kenny, I'm doing well. I'm enjoying these last several days. We've had some sun. It's been a little bit cooler than average, but still quite pleasant. So I would have to say I'm very happy with May so far. With the one caveat: it's darn dry out there. What does our drought situation look like right now? Kenny Blumenfeld 01:10Yeah, it's getting uncomfortable. So, you know, we've gotten really lucky. I guess the overall story is it's for the most part been kind of normal precipitation in parts of the state, southern and central parts of the state, but dry in the far south in the northwest and parts of the far north, too. And that's kind of the overall picture. But you can't argue with it, we're just stringing together these runs of dry days upon dry days. And that is really where this year, it's kind of different from some of the other years. Now, last year, we did this too. We had very dry conditions. We had runs of over 15, and even 20 days, last spring, where we didn't have any precipitation. But we weren't concerned about drought, then, because we had this huge buffer of moist soils, wet soils that were left over from the very wet 2019. And really a kind of a multi-year period. Well, we've now kind of spent through a lot of that moisture. And so, we find ourselves about as dry as we were last spring, you know, with much of the area coming up short for precipitation. But this time, we don't have those reserves of soil moisture to draw down because we've already exhausted a lot of them. And so now we're starting to kind of see some of the consequences. We have been lucky. You mentioned it's been dry. And it has been and you know, there's been a lot of fire weather potential and some wildfires, especially out in western and northwestern Minnesota, in this kind of pre-greenup period. But we've been otherwise somewhat lucky, because although it has been dry, it's generally been cool, and not even entirely sunny. And that has kept some, not all, but some of that evaporation at bay. Obviously, you lose moisture much faster if the humidity is very low, you don't have precipitation and also the temperatures are high. And for the most part, you know, as we think of the bulk of this spring, we've kind of been avoiding that, with the exception of what was the first day or something like that of May was very warm. But you know, it's been generally cool across the state, below normal so far for May temperatures. And that has helped slow down the drying. And that's why we kind of look ahead with the warm weather coming you got to be a little bit nervous because we're about to turn it on. And if we don't get precipitation to offset the exceptional drying that is possible in the coming week or two, I think then we're gonna be looking at much more dire drought type situation. Jim du Bois 04:03Well, staying on the topic of dryness, I couldn't help but notice how low the relative humidities have been over the past several days. Is this unusual for this time of the year in Minnesota? Kenny Blumenfeld 04:15It's not. I mean, I'd say the frequency of very low relative humidity is a little bit unusual in the context of the last several years. But this is the thing: our climate is really keyed to sunlight. And another thing that sunlight keys is the landscape. And you know, I know we talk about these terms, photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, evaporation, and I'm not sure if people are really thinking about what it all means but there's this beautiful relationship with the kind of normal cycle of the sun and how spring progresses and it goes like this. As you get into say, April and especially early May, the sun is quite strong. And as a result, temperatures generally, you know, can warm up a bit. But you have a problem in that usually, unless spring came very early, you don't have everything fully green yet. And so when all the plants aren't green, and the grasses aren't green, and the trees aren't all leafed out, and even when they are, it still takes some time for all of the systems to really get moving. But that means that there's not moisture being conducted through those, through those plants. And if it's not being conducted through those plants, and it's not entering the atmosphere. And so usually in the spring, you get much drier conditions, until that sort of green up really kicks in and starts contributing additional moisture to the atmosphere. So if you're going to have fire weather, it's usually before you're fully green. It's usually kind of typically, not always, but typically the first half of May and into April. That's kind of your main fire weather season. And then after that, you've got enough moisture in the air, because of all the plants that the humidities are higher, and it's harder for, you know, things to burn, they don't burn quite as readily. So it's all keyed to the Sun, the Sun kind of triggers the photosynthesis which then leads to all that plant growth which then leads to the plants conducting moisture and use it and going through that evapotransportive process whereby they pull moisture out of the ground, conducted through their various root stem and leaf systems and then transmitted back to the atmosphere. So that's all synchronized by the Sun. And it keys to our rainy season, once that moisture really kicks in, you start seeing our monthly precipitation starts to go up. And it stays up until, you know, mid-September, when the Sun starts getting weak enough that the evapotranspiration and photosynthesis shut down, and everything kind of goes back to sleep and things start drying out. So then you get another dry weather and fire weather season typically, in September, late September and October. You ever notice, Jim, that, you know, unless you're in a really extraordinary circumstance with extreme drought, you don't usually get big wildfires during the hottest time of year? Have you ever noticed that? They're not usually in July and August when you might expect them to be? Jim du Bois 07:32You know, Kenny, I never considered that before. But you're right. My recollection now, you don't see major fires during those months. Kenny Blumenfeld 07:41Well, I think of all of our really big fires, too. What was that? What was it the Pagami, the Pagami Creek fire, or Pagami Lake fire, the Boundary Waters fires of 2007 and nine and 11? Those were in May. And then you have the famous, the kind of historical Cloquet and Hinckley fires that were in the past, and those were in the fall. Those were in September and October. Even though July is far and away our hottest month, and we can be scorching hot, and we can be in extreme drought in July, there's still usually enough moisture in the air to prevent, you know, the fire weather people call them fuels, that prevent those fuels from building up and drying out a lot. And so instead we see our main fire weather window, basically going from whenever the snow leaves the ground, up until you know, maybe mid to late May. And then the next piece of it would be September and October. Jim du Bois 08:49Well, Kenny, we just entered a new decade and at the end of every decade, the NOAA climate normals change. So now we're looking at a period that would entail the years 1991 to 2020, where previously we were looking at stats from 1981 to 2010. What has the shift in normals indicated so far? You know, honestly there weren't any big surprises for Minnesota because, you know, we track all of this. And Minnesota's population is pretty aware of the changes that have been ongoing. In the Twin Cities, there was a very subtle increase in the temperatures. The average temperature in the Twin Cities went up annually by about six tenths of a degree over the previous normal period. So, there was a generalized increase in temperatures. It was strongest in January and December. And it was pretty robust in, you know, May through September growing season also, but we did lose a little bit of ground in February and in April, meaning that the period 1991 through 2020 in February and April was actually a little bit cooler than the period from 1981 through 2010. And if you can really think about it, you're kind of subbing in the 2010s and taking out the 1980s. And what that means is that February and April were actually a little bit cooler for those two months in the 2000 10s than they were in the 1980s in the Twin Cities, and this is also true across much of Minnesota. But all the other months, by and large, were either the same or warmer. And we sort of see this across the state too. Also, the state got wetter, we got more precipitation. The 2010s, that period from 2000, really 11 through 2020 was very wet in Minnesota, the wettest on record. And so no surprise that that ended up driving up our already fairly high, historically kind of elevated annual precipitation, but that too was not across the board increases and month to month. We really saw it concentrated here in the Twin Cities. May got a lot wetter, June got a lot wetter, and a couple of the kind of mid and late fall months. Whereas we lost precipitation pretty helpfully in March. And you can think of that, as you know, whatever happened to the high school tournament blizzards? Those don't seem to happen. We didn't have, we hardly had any of those in the 2010s, and so our snowfall and precipitation stats really drove down during March across basically all of Minnesota. But by and large, the 2010s were kind of snowy. And so even though the snowfall came down from the 1981 through 2010 normal period, we did see most stations in Minnesota continuing to be at or above historical high marks for snowfall in the 2010s. It just wasn't quite as snowy as the the 1980s that they replaced, but it was one of the snowiest decades on record. You know, no really big surprises in Minnesota. I would say the one thing that's different from this time, of course, we were just getting to know each other when the last normals were released. But in 2011, when those were released, the period 1981 through 2010 really jumped in terms of temperature over what had been the previous normals period. So that was almost like this head turning kind of shock where, you know, we saw some of the winter months in particular had warmed by, you know, more than three degrees at many stations. So, these very large changes in temperature that we saw the last time those weren't really replicated this time. The warming was much more subtle, kind of giving the impression that the sharp upwards trajectory that we had been on maybe leveled off a little bit in the last decade. Jim du Bois 13:10Are severe weather statistics part of this period that defines what a normal is? Kenny Blumenfeld 13:17Ah, that's a really good question. You think they would be, wouldn't you? Jim du Bois 13:21Yeah, yeah. Kenny Blumenfeld 13:21I mean, wouldn't you like that? It would be nice to have normals. You could kind of, and by the way, if anyone's wondering what is a normal, it's really, just think of it as an adjusted 30-year average. The reason I say adjusted is because if a station has every single day available, and for every single month and every single weather variable, then it's essentially just a 30-year average. But these are usually volunteer observers who make these observations, and they're often on vacation for a couple days out of the year. And you have to have a method for sort of estimating what those values would be if they had made every observation or if nothing had changed. And so, there's minor, very, very minor adjustments that can be made. But a normal is a 30-year adjusted average. And no, they're not, there aren't really good severe weather metrics because of some of the...you know, if you think of temperature, precipitation, Jim, those are kind of objective measurements. I mean, sure, there's a little bit of human error that goes into reading a rain gauge, but if you read 1.37 inches of precipitation out of your clear bucket or out of your manual rain gauge, you might be off by a 100th of an inch and it's a valid measurement, and with temperature, most of the volunteer observers actually have a sort of semi-automated system that logs the values for them, the high and the low temperature. So, it's pretty objective, but think about hail now or strong winds or you know, damaging winds or tornadoes, there's no real objective way of measuring, you know, there's no tornadoometer that you could use to measure the various aspects of a tornado. And we also know that you're a Skywarn weather spotter. You've been trained on the severe weather training, and so you know how to spot storms, and you think of our ability to see these over time has also improved. So, it's kind of hard to standardize that data set. But it would be great if we could come up with, you know, some kind of functional 30-year average. So, we knew, you know, here's the number of hailstorms that we should expect in Minnesota or in this area in a given year. Here's how many times we expect it to hail at your location in a typical year, yeah, all that stuff would be great. But no, we don't we don't have much for that at all. Jim du Bois 15:59Well, speaking of severe weather, last week, we observed the 56th anniversary of the May 6, 1965 tornado outbreak that hit parts of the southwestern western and northern metro areas, and I believe Kenny 13, 14 fatalities? 13? Kenny Blumenfeld 16:20Yeah. Jim du Bois 16:20Somewhere around there. Kenny Blumenfeld 16:21I mean 13 at least. Jim du Bois 16:21Yeah, yeah. Kenny Blumenfeld 16:22And a lot of, you know, hundreds of injuries and a lot of damage and a lot of stories. You know, everyone who is there, not me, I was not around yet, but everyone who is there had a story from that day. You remember anything about it? Are you too young? Jim du Bois 16:39Well, no, Kenny, I do remember it because it was my birthday. And I remember distinctly having a kind of mini-birthday celebration, we were going to have a bigger one with friends over the weekend. That was a Thursday night. So, I had a little piece of cake. There's actually a photo of me I dug up with the cake and little did I know the rest of the evening would be spent in the basement listening to some pretty compelling live reports called in by listeners on WCCO radio. But that's my biggest memory. Now, we were in a part of the Twin Cities that was not impacted by the storms. There was no damage in our neighborhood. Kenny Blumenfeld 17:20Where were you, Jim? Jim du Bois 17:21Living by Bde Maka Ska at the time. Kenny Blumenfeld 17:24Okay, yeah. Jim du Bois 17:25So there, now there were reports supposedly there were funnel clouds spotted over Lake Nokomis heading toward Harriet, Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles. We were hunkered in the basement so we couldn't confirm or deny those reports. But there was a lot going on that night. And Kenny it begs the question, we haven't seen an outbreak like that for the Twin Cities since 1965. Statistically, are we overdue? Kenny Blumenfeld 17:56Yeah, I mean, on one hand, something like that we really only have one instance of it on record, so we have no idea what the return period is. We could look at other kind of similarly major events that were in the region that maybe didn't do exactly what that one did and assume that the recurrence interval has averaged about 20 to 25 years between major tornado outbreaks in what we now think of as the Twin Cities area. So, from that perspective, yeah, I mean, you know, you could, I suppose count July 3 1983, and maybe start the clock ticking there, because that was brutal. But we haven't in the Twin Cities area had anything like that in, you know, somewhere between, what 38 and 56 years. And so, it's, um, it has, you know, we should remember that this kind of thing happens. It's so hard for people to picture something that they've never experienced. And this is one of the, you know, we talk about this, you and I talked about this at bars all the time. Jim du Bois 19:11Oh yes, we do, Kenny. Kenny Blumenfeld 19:12How, how can, how do you warn people about the likelihood of something that they can't really comprehend? There's no real analogy, and you can only point at other towns in the United States where something like that has happened that maybe made the news during their lifetime. And you kind of say, we'll see that can happen here too, because we've had this kind of thing. I worry about that. Because we never know, we don't get a, we don't get a memo saying it's gonna be this year, or it's gonna be today, even. We don't know, I mean, obviously, we know it's not going to be today. There's no chance for the kind of outbreak Jim du Bois 19:47Right. Kenny Blumenfeld 19:48We, you know, we'll get a little heads up in that we'll know when the conditions are right for you know, unusually potent severe weather outbreak, but we're not going to know from the, you know, 15 times we have that kind of advanced warning in a given year somewhere in Minnesota. We're not really going to know which one to four of those is actually going to produce memorable weather in that part of the state. And of that one to four experiences, we won't know, is this, the one? Is this the one that's going to, you know, wreak havoc on the Twin Cities? So, it would be great if people, you know, kind of maintain situational awareness, knew where they were at any given time, the name of the county that they're in and what the nearby communities are so that when the next one comes, they kind of recognize their situation, and where they are, and you know what they might need to do. Yeah, it does concern me. Another thing, though, Jim, from Bde Maka Ska I believe, if you, and this is one of those things, you know, merely rewind the clock 56 years, I'm pretty sure that from the south shore of that lake, in 1965, you would have been able to see from the southeast, you would have been able to see the tornadoes to the west. And from the southwest, you would have been able to see the tornadoes up in Fridley. So, you know, no big deal. You kind of blew it, should have gone outside and looked. Jim du Bois 21:26Right. I don't think my parents would have been too happy about that. So... Kenny Blumenfeld 21:30Oh, I think everyone belonged in the basement. Jim du Bois 21:32Right. Kenny Blumenfeld 21:35But I think, yeah, you know, I, I, when I was a kid, the infamous Lake, Harriet-Har Mar tornado that went from Edina into southwest Minneapolis and then kind of jumped over towards Roseville. Well, also passed through Lake Street, Chicago Lake area, that tornado, a bunch of my friends saw it. And I was only about a mile at most from the path that its nearest point. And there were some signs. I was already an avid weather observer, but I was like eight, or not even eight, I was seven. So ,I always wonder what did I really see? And what could I have seen if I had just, you know, stayed outside a little longer or, you know, looked down the block. Because it was, it was, but you know, what do you do? You got to, I guess, if you're like me, then you spend the next 30 years trying to find tornadoes. Jim du Bois 22:36Right. Kenny Blumenfeld 22:36Which I did. Jim du Bois 22:37What's interesting too, Kenny, looking back to the 1965 outbreak is there are very few photos in existence of those tornadoes. And they were numerous and large, and in one case long lived, at least one case. And yet, we have very few photos. Now one variable, though, was the fact I believe it was dark during a lot of those tornadoes. So, there wasn't the opportunity to get good photographs. Also, of course, we didn't have a camera, a digital camera in our pocket at the ready so it was more difficult for someone to actually take a picture. But if you look at the outbreak in Fargo, North Dakota in June of 1957, that was very well documented. There were a lot of photographs, including some film that was taken, I believe, by a TV cameraman. And it's interesting why there are so few photos from that outbreak. Is that unusual, Kenny? Or is that an outlier? Or, you know, how do the various outbreaks over time rank I guess in terms of how well photographed or documented they are? Kenny Blumenfeld 23:48You know, a lot of the big ones from the mid-century and before just didn't have much photo documentation. I mean, you know, the tornados from 1965 in the Twin Cities were, they were moving at a pretty good pace. I mean, I think they were, as far as I could tell, they seemed to be highly visible. A lot of people witnessed them. But you had, it wasn't like now where you got a phone in your pocket with a camera on it. You had to think camera and have it with you. And I think when people were gawking at the tornado, those who weren't being hit by it, they were kind of making a decision of well, I can stay here and watch this once in a lifetime thing. Or I can go try and get my camera and possibly lose this opportunity. And so, I think that's one piece of it. The other was, you know, for as much as we say WCCO was giving people heads up, I mean, everything I've heard from those radio broadcasts, and I believe I've heard everything, every second of it. It was much less forecasting of, you know, here's what's on the ground right now so much as like relaying and urging people to stay in their basements and relaying information that in some cases may have been minutes, dozens of minutes old. And I don't think there was a great opportunity for people to know exactly which storm at what time was producing a tornado right then. There was, you know, I think one or two instances during their radio broadcast where callers were mentioning seeing the tornado right then and there. But a lot of them were calling into report something they had seen a while ago. And so, it would have been hard, and there were a lot of thunderstorms that night. So, knowing which one was the one producing the tornado out of the, you know, 50 or so that went across the Twin Cities that evening, that would have been challenging. I, I...and the other thing I would point out is, you know, Todd Krause from the weather service did go around to various historical societies, and it seems like from that evening, there are between four and six kind of credible tornado photographs that have...I think four is probably a good number, but maybe five or six credible photographs of the tornadoes at various parts of the area from that evening. And that's actually a pretty good number. How many tornado photos do you know of from the May 22, 2011 Minneapolis to Fridley tornado, Jim? Jim du Bois 26:34Interesting, yeah. Good. Kenny Blumenfeld 26:36Believe the number's at zero. Jim du Bois 26:38Yes. Boy, that's, I hadn't thought of that, Kenny. That's, because that was in that was during the day there was plenty of daylight. And yeah, that's surprising. Kenny Blumenfeld 26:49There's, there's actually some video that a gentleman took from kind of Central Avenue area. And that's actually amazing video with power flashes. And so you could presumably with permission, freeze that video and make a screenshot, but I know of no pictures of the tornado. And also, the June 14 (1981), Twin Cities tornado not well photographed, there were two pictures that I know of. And then a little bit of video from Roseville area. And St. Anthony tornado from 1984, zero photographs. The Hugo killer tornado on Memorial Day weekend of 2008. escaped not just photography, but also videography, nothing, not a shred of documentary evidence that it actually existed in the form that we know from surveys and radar that it did. And that was also a daylight tornado in a supercell thunderstorm, meaning all you had to do was be in the right location and you could have seen it wide open. But nobody was there Jim du Bois 27:59Interesting. Kenny Blumenfeld 27:59So, I think it has something to do with the nature of the beast. I mean, this is why storm chasers do what they do. Because if you know where to go, and you know how to position yourself, and then you have an understanding of the environmental conditions and all of that, then it's just kind of a matter of going to the right place, adjusting a little bit and then waiting. But if you're not in that position, then it can be very difficult to get a photograph or video of one of these things even on days where the ingredients are right there. And you know, the landscape of the Twin Cities doesn't necessarily make it any easier. With buildings, trees, bridges, all kinds of obstructions, and plus, you know, roads that if you are a chaser, you have to contend with traffic, detours, construction season, and all of that. So there's actually a decent amount of forces working against good photographic or video documentation of these things. Jim du Bois 29:02Well, Kenny, we had teased it at the beginning of the program today, that summer is coming. So, what can we look forward to Kenny? Kenny Blumenfeld 29:11Across the state, we're moving into a warm weekend and next week is starting to look hot. I mean, you know, so it's gonna be a beautiful weekend pretty much statewide. I can't think of a part of the state even, you know, Grand Marais I suppose if the water or if the wind is blowing off of the lake might be a little bit cooler, but I do expect warm conditions pretty much statewide Saturday and then ramping up a bit even more on Sunday with temperatures, I expect them 60s and 70s on Saturday depending on which part of the state you're in. 70s and 80s on Sunday, and then just you know, keep dialing it up as we get into Monday and Tuesday. Some of the official forecasts now have temperatures in the 80s for most of next week. And if you read the forecast discussions, the weather service forecasters in the Twin Cities anyway have been noting that the main guidance that they use to populate their temperature forecasts has had what's called a cool bias, meaning that it's been tending to make temperature forecasts that are a little lower than what gets realized. So in any case, we have the potential, later next week especially, for some widespread 70s and 80s, across Minnesota. And some of the output I saw from the European model recently has temperatures getting close to 90. So that's really kind of the dominant pattern for the next week to 10 days it's just going to be warm, increasingly humid. And although that humidity will be good in terms of preventing some of the fire, we really are going to need precipitation, because that evapotranspiration, the loss of water right out of the soil and out of the plants is going to really accelerate with those higher, higher temperatures. So it is going to feel like summer. Jim, I think we have, we have a decent shot now if the current forecast pattern holds, then I wouldn't be surprised if you do see people swimming in Minnesota lakes, at least in southern Minnesota on Memorial Day weekend. It's a possibility. I'm not promising it, but there's enough warm weather in the models now and in the forecast that we could see that. But we also really like some precipitation, because the water levels are pretty low. Jim du Bois 31:45Well, Kenny, the last episode, you said it would be hot at the end of May. That was your gut feeling. And it looks like things may be lining up to make that happen. But we shall see. There's always that variability. Kenny Blumenfeld 31:58Yeah, it certainly looks possible. I think that we're going to certainly, the second half of the month will be warmer than the first half. That's a no brainer. And it will pull our average up to kind of normal to above normal for the month. I think that's a no brainer. But are we really going to stand out? And is it going to be a kind of a hot end of the month? Well, that that part remains to be seen. But yeah, right now I'm feeling okay about that statement and about the side bet that I made with one of my colleagues about may finishing kind of warm. Jim du Bois 32:33Well, Kenny, enjoy the beautiful weekend ahead and we'll enjoy the taste of summer that's coming. Fingers crossed for some much-needed precipitation as those moisture levels start to increase. Kenny Blumenfeld 32:46Yeah, that's the big one for sure. Jim du Bois 32:48Yeah. Kenny Blumenfeld 32:48Need that precipitation. Jim du Bois 32:50But Kenny, enjoy, and we'll talk to you in about a week. Kenny Blumenfeld 32:54Yeah, you too. Good to talk to you, Jim. Thanks a lot. Jim du Bois 32:57This is Way Over Our Heads. It's a weather and climate podcast. I'm Jim du Bois. Kenny Blumenfeld's a climatologist. We'll catch you next time.
Third Sunday in Lent The Collect: Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Old Testament: Exodus 20:1-17 1 Then God spoke all these words: 2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; 3you shall have no other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, 6but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. 8 Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. 9For six days you shall labour and do all your work. 10But the seventh day is a sabbath to theLord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. 11For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lordblessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. 12 Honour your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 13 You shall not murder. 14 You shall not commit adultery. 15 You shall not steal. 16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. 17 You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour. Psalm: Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork. 2 One day tells its tale to another, * and one night imparts knowledge to another. 3 Although they have no words or language, * and their voices are not heard, 4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, * and their message to the ends of the world. 5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; * it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course. 6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; * nothing is hidden from its burning heat. 7 The law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; * the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent. 8 The statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; * the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb. 11 By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can tell how often he offends? * cleanse me from my secret faults. 13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, * O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Epistle: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' 20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. Gospel: John 2:13-22 13 The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money-changers seated at their tables. 15Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16He told those who were selling the doves, ‘Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a market-place!' 17His disciples remembered that it was written, ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.'18The Jews then said to him, ‘What sign can you show us for doing this?'19Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.' 20The Jews then said, ‘This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?'21But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Upon This Rock #5 Thinking Biblically By Louie Marsh, 2-14-2021 1) God wants to reason TOGETHER with me. 18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. Isaiah 1:18 (ESV) Notice the invitation – this is something God wants to do – to THINK with us, not just feel with us. 2) To do this I must think MATURELY. “20Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.” (1 Corinthians 14:20, ESV) “8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8–9, ESV) Three Ways Not to Think: Tribally Emotionally Faddishly 3) I need to learn how to think BIBLICALLY. God calls disciples to think Biblically not culturally and not to simply follow my feelings or to go by my instincts. No, God calls all disciples to think clearly, critically (I mean analytically not to be critical of others). 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (ESV) Our first impulse should not be to either accept or reject but to test! Word test here is one of Paul’s favorites. It was used of testing coins or metals in order to see whether they were genuine and of full weight. Test everything – especially things that make me feel good while sending me off in a slightly different direction in life. This kind of testing, comparing everything to Scripture – needs to become a deeply ingrained habit that the disciple does automatically! 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 (ESV) 4) When I think Biblically… I shouldn’t expect everyone to AGREE with me. “20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (1 Corinthians 1:20–25, ESV) The foolishness (τὸ μωρὸν). Lit., the foolish thing. More specific than the abstract μωρία foolishness (vv. 18, 21), and pointing to the fact of Christ crucified. - Vincent, M. R. (1887). Word studies in the New Testament (Vol. 3, p. 193). New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons. Stumbling-block (σκανδαλον [skandalon]). Papyri examples mean trap or snare which here tripped the Jews who wanted a conquering Messiah with a world empire, not a condemned and crucified one (Matt. 27:42; Luke 24:21). Foolishness (μωριαν [mōrian]). Folly… - Robertson, A. T. (1933). Word Pictures in the New Testament (1 Co 1:23). Nashville, TN: Broadman Press. I should expect to CHANGE a lot. “26If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.” (James 1:26, ESV) “7Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.” (2 Timothy 2:7, ESV) I’ll always base my thinking on Biblical “14But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,” (1 Peter 3:14–15, ESV) Reason is logon in Greek – a form of logos – and is reason, meaning or purpose. 5) Jesus is the ULTIMATE example of thinking Biblically. “33“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” (Matthew 5:33–37, ESV)

High Availability Router/Firewall Using OpenBSD, CARP, pfsync, and ifstated, Building the Development Version of Emacs on NetBSD, rc.d belongs in libexec, not etc, FreeBSD 11.3 EOL, OPNsense 20.7.1 Released, MidnightBSD 1.2.7 out, and more. NOTES This episode of BSDNow is brought to you by Tarsnap (https://www.tarsnap.com/bsdnow) Headlines High Availability Router/Firewall Using OpenBSD, CARP, pfsync, and ifstated (https://dzone.com/articles/high-availability-routerfirewall-using-openbsd-car) I have been running OpenBSD on a Soekris net5501 for my router/firewall since early 2012. Because I run a multitude of services on this system (more on that later), the meager 500Mhz AMD Geode + 512MB SDRAM was starting to get a little sluggish while trying to do anything via the terminal. Despite the perceived performance hit during interactive SSH sessions, it still supported a full 100Mbit connection with NAT, so I wasn’t overly eager to change anything. Luckily though, my ISP increased the bandwidth available on my plan tier to 150Mbit+. Unfortunately, the Soekris only contained 4xVIA Rhine Fast Ethernet. So now, I was using a slow system and wasting money by not being able to fully utilize my connection. Building the Development Version of Emacs on NetBSD (https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2020/08/25/building-the-development-version-of-emacs-on-netbsd/) I hadn’t really planned on installing a NetBSD VM (after doing all the other two BSDs), but then a NetBSD-related Emacs bug report arrived. News Roundup rc.d belongs in libexec, not etc (https://jmmv.dev/2020/08/rcd-libexec-etc.html) Let’s open with the controversy: the scripts that live under /etc/rc.d/ in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are in the wrong place. They all should live in /libexec/rc.d/ because they are code, not configuration. This misplacement is something that has bugged me for ages but I never had the energy to open this can of worms back when I was very involved in NetBSD. I suspect it would have been a draining discussion and a very difficult thing to change. FreeBSD 11.3 EOL (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2020-September/001982.html) As of September 30, 2020, FreeBSD 11.3 will reach end-of-life and will no longer be supported by the FreeBSD Security Team. Users of FreeBSD 11.3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a newer release as soon as possible. OPNsense 20.7.1 Released (https://opnsense.org/opnsense-20-7-1-released/) Overall, the jump to HardenedBSD 12.1 is looking promising from our end. From the reported issues we still have more logging quirks to investigate and especially Netmap support (used in IPS and Sensei) is lacking in some areas that were previously working. Patches are being worked on already so we shall get there soon enough. Stay tuned. MidnightBSD 1.2.7 out (https://www.justjournal.com/users/mbsd/entry/33801) MidnightBSD 1.2.7 is available via the FTP/HTTP and mirrors as well as github. It includes several bug fixes and security updates over the last ISO release and is recommended for new installations. Users who don't want to updatee the whole OS, should consider at least updating libmport as there are many package management fixes Beastie Bits Tarsnap podcast (https://blog.firosolutions.com/2020/08/tarsnap-podcast/) NetBSD Tips and Tricks (http://students.engr.scu.edu/~sschaeck/netbsd/index.html) FreeBSD mini-git Primer (https://hackmd.io/hJgnfzd5TMK-VHgUzshA2g) GhostBSD Financial Reports (https://ghostbsd.org/financial_reports_from_January_to_June_2020) *** Tarsnap This weeks episode of BSDNow was sponsored by our friends at Tarsnap, the only secure online backup you can trust your data to.

Apartments. Finding the customers while on delivery at apartment complexes can be a miserable experience. The way complexes are laid out, the way they are numbered, the way they are marked, it can be next to impossible to find the customer. And too often, the customer has no idea how to tell you to get there.I'm in Colorado. There are complexes I KNOW were built before weed was legal, but I swear they were smoking it (or something else) when they numbered the buildings and apartments.

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 2 of the Creative Business Success Podcast! In this episode, I talked with the amazing Britt and Kelsey from Launch Your Daydream, where they provide branding and web design for photographers. These ladies are pros at helping creative entrepreneurs master their branding and stand out in a crowded market. After they spoke at the Accelerate Your Creative Biz Summit, I knew this dynamic duo would be perfect for the podcast too. I can't wait to dive into branding with them, so let's get started!Here's a cheat sheet of some of the episode highlights:Britt + Kelsey's intro, 0:57Branding foundations, 6:14The Brand Pizza, 6:59Establishing your niche, 9:28Fears and the importance of niching down, 12:09-Take some things off your business plate!-, 14:00How to niche down as an artist or maker, 14:38Finding your differentiator, 19:30Helping customers remember you, 22:44A branding exercise for you! 26:20Where to find Britt + Kelsey online, 26:32Let's dive deeper into a few of these key takeaways...1 | Branding is more than just a logoBritt and Kelsey talked about their Brand PIzza framework and it's a great reminder that there's SO much more to branding for creative entrepreneurs (and really anyone!) than just having a good logo. Building a solid brand foundation is crucial to your branding success. Without a good foundation, your creative business 'house' is going to crumble eventually.Don't rely on your logo or any single piece of your branding to carry you! Make sure to establish your brand foundation to make the most of your creative business.Have you established your brand foundation? If not, it's not too late! Use the strategies and exercises Britt and Kelsey shared in this episode to create your own creative business brand foundation.2 | Having a niche you love is important!Do you take every client that comes your way or sell to every Joe Schmo that shows up to your booth at a craft fair? While that's fine at the beginning of a creative business, you don't want to do that forever. Finding a specific audience that you LOVE to serve can make or break your business!When someone looks for a specific solution to their problem, whether it's finding a photographer for a special occasion or looking for the perfect art for their home, they want to find someone who's GREAT at that specific thing. Specializing in a particular area can actually help you get MORE clients, not less! When you're the go-to person in your creative business niche, it's easier for folks to refer you to new customers.Have you figured out who your favorite customers are? If not, keep experimenting until you find them! Once you know who you want to work with or make your creative product for, focus on them.3 | Find your differentiator as a creative entrepreneurEveryone has something that makes them different, even if you don't think that's the case. (I promise, it's true!) Britt and Kelsey shared some fantastic ways to find your own differentiator to help set your creative business apart from the crowd. If you're not sure what makes your creative business unique, it's time to dive in and figure it out!If you haven't found your differentiator, grab a friend and find THEIR differentiators while they find yours. It's a great way to get an outside perspective on you and your creative business!4 | Create a stellar client experienceWe've all had bad customer experiences, right? That's why having a fantastic client experience is so important as a creative entrepreneur! I loved Britt's story about her customer experience with an Etsy candle shop. If you take a moment to make customers feel special and noticed, it can go a long way towards your creative business success!What do you do right now and what could you do in the future to make your customers or clients feel special?Want to connect with Britt + Kelsey and Launch Your Daydream?You can find them at their website, Launch Your Daydream, as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest @launchyourdaydream.

Here our main adventure takes a backseat to Stugs side adventure. We meet The Cobras.Stug Talia Drezban Clark TeegerThis tale begins in a Mash tent at the army section ot Tor'ar. The group discusses their mission, to eradicate the Kobolds that are attacking a farmland to the South East. They are informed this is essential because a big war is in their future. After much debate and no sight of their commanding office Stug they decide to set off. But first want to make a stop to get some essentials. They head off to get some horses where Teeger gets into it with the Stable master for calling her an Orcish Bitch. After much back and forth the group eventually decides to take some horses. But Teeger vows to never forget this dishonor. The group then head to the supplies tent to get items for their journey. But they are informed they are in need of a acquisition forms which they do not have. Teeger see's items that she is wanting. She decides to hop over the counter and intimidate this young lady into stepping aside as she takes what she wants. After pillaging the supplies tent the group heads off to the their destination. Along the way Drezban and Talia get into it with verbal jabs with each other. On the eve where they decide to set up camp, Dranas decides to Piss in Drezban's Tent. Drezban replies with creating a wall and spewing out Acid Fog. After some time they stop their petty squabble. After some time they hear a familiar noise. The Broke Back Bandits comes up. Teeger tosses up the Broke Back hand signs. They pull over and greet each other. As they do there is a pile of kids that hop out of the back of the wagon. They talk about the past time where a Sect of Broke Back Bandits where attacked and kids where murdered. Some of those children where Teeger's supposedly. After a night the group wakes up with The Broke Back Bandits gone. The group continues on to their mission. They eventually get to town to hear the sounds of battle. The Cobra's take action! As they do they hear the Kobold's screaming in fear that they are trying to really kill them. They knock one out and notice he had dull rusted weapons. The others were able to run away. Teeger ask's for rope and ties up the unconscious Kobold to the fence, with his limbs tied to the horses. After some back and forth the Kobold called Teeger an Orcish bitch. Which the only logical Teeger reaction is to have the horses walk away pulling the limbs from the Kobold until they tear out allowing him to bleed to death. But before he does, he yells out "She will be ours again!" Afterwards they see Stug behind them just watching. He greats his group and then the guy they helped save, Skeeter has them head to the bar.During which Stug eventually heads of to check around seeing carts of food coming from a mine. He sinks into the group to get closer to where he eventually finds a dragon chained up and being whipped and yelled at to produce a variety of different foods. It seems this dragon has a peculiar ability. They do seem to feed the dragon gold, but with a better look it would seem the dragon is malnourished. Stug shrouds himself to talk to the dragon. How she was with the kobolds injured and that her name was Petra. She talks about how the humans took her from the kobolds who were trying to help her heal. But now she is chained up to be beaten and forced to make food. She gets tased by her handler for the night and Stug heads away. What will come of this information Stug discovered? How will he lead his team? What will become of the Kobolds? Only time will tell. We are the Cobras or Where is our leader... - MP3

Welcome to Season 1 Episode 1 of the Creative Business Success Podcast! In this episode, I talked with Angela, a personal stylist from St. Louis. She’s been struggling with finding her ideal clients in order to grow her business, though. In this episode, I worked with Angela to find opportunities to identify and connect with her ideal clients, create mutually beneficial business partnerships, and get the word out about her services.Here is a cheat sheet of some of the episode highlights:Angela’s intro, 0:50Her local marketing obstacles, 1:41Creating mutually beneficial partnerships, 2:28Expanding your network, 3:14Thinking outside the box, 4:37Going beyond your current audience, 5:28What to do with all your new options, 7:37Finding partnerships for workshops, 7:49Expanding your testimonials, 8:28Check out Dubsado to improve your workflow, 9:46PR reach, 10:25Emily Richett’s PR webinar, 11:46Why we all need an outside perspective on our business, 13:20Where to connect with Angela, 15:29Let’s dive a little deeper into a few of these local marketing obstacles and solutions, though!1 | Create mutually beneficial partnershipsAs an entrepreneur and especially a solopreneur, it is SO easy to get in the “it’s just me, myself, and I” mindset. That’s just not true! There are so many others out there who would love to collaborate with you if you’ll just ask. For Angela, I suggested finding some partnerships in her local area, but depending on your type of business, you could do this online too. In this case, Angela could reach out to travel agents to offer packing services to their clients and wedding coordinators to offer wedding party styling services, just to name a couple.Get creative with your partnership ideas, too! If you’re having trouble thinking of any, ask your friends and family what other kinds of services they think would complement yours and start there.2 | Go beyond your current audienceThis one may seem kind of obvious, but it’s surprising how often we overlook it. Angela was focusing on young moms as her primary personal styling audience. The problem is, young moms often don’t have much time or disposable income, which means they can be a hard sell. Instead, I suggested that she consider reaching out to business women and groups that cater to them instead. These women often have the money for a great wardrobe, but don’t want to waste the time picking out an outfit every morning. Angela’s personalized lookbooks would be perfect for this audience, as it would give them a quick way to choose an outfit without sorting through their closet fifty times!When you start to think about who needs you AND has the ability to hire you or purchase your products, you’ll find your sweet spot (or two!). Don’t get stuck in the rut of who you’ve already been reaching out to – go beyond it.3 | Expand your testimonialsIn Angela’s case, she had some great testimonials on her site, but they’re easy to pass over. Instead of relying on text-based testimonials, I suggested she consider getting video testimonials as well. This is perfect for her services because they are so personal and visual. Showing HOW she helped a client dress well for a particular body type is powerful. Video garners much more attention than text these days, so she can use it in other applications besides just her website. Those testimonials could become Facebook ads, be featured in webinars, and so much more.If your testimonials are not helping you convert leads into clients, it’s time to try a new tactic. Go outside of the standard text testimonials and see where they take you!4 | Connect with local media for PR!This is something that terrifies a lot of entrepreneurs. After all, what would I even talk about? What if they turn me down? I don’t even know how to get started! When I suggested PR to Angela, she was a little hesitant, but as we talked through some PR ideas, she got excited. I’m SO proud of her: she ran with the ideas we talked about and landed a Christmas family photo styling segment on Show Me St. Louis after our recording! Not only did she get to bring her expertise to life on television, but she was invited back for another segment as well.If you’re afraid of public relations outreach, take a deep breath and go for it anyways. Getting your name out there is such a big step and could change your business forever!And if you’d like to check out Angela’s segment on Show Me St. Louis and see how she rocked it out, check it out HERE.Want to connect with Angela?Find her at her website, www.angelamoorepersonalstyling.com and on Instagram!
