I cloistered myself in an American yoga ashram (monastery), where Ibegan the formal training of my spiritual learning. After learning simple yetprofound truths that I could not have discovered in the broader society, I leftthe ashram to learn simpler yet profound truths that I could not have learnedthere. I was fortunate to get a job as a resident host in abeautiful YMCA camp at the very lake where the lightning had struck my tentseven years earlier. I followed my path as a music teacher, trumpet player, andcomposer, and while conducting a symphonic work of mine, met my future wife,who was a clarinetist; we married eleven months later. I was hired to teachmusic and yoga at a school for emotionally disturbed children a few miles fromthe YMCA camp and began to teach evening yoga and meditation classes there aswell. My adult yogastudents and I then established the American Yoga Conservatory to teach yoga ona deeper level, free from external Indian cultural trappings. In December 1984,my wife and I learned that we were expecting a child. The Conservatory lost itslease, and I had my first channeled reading by the entity Hemetro, who laterwould reveal himself as one of my three principal guides. I was made aware of mistakes in the structure of my teachingvehicle (the Conservatory) and immediately began the process of releasing thatfrom my life. I traveled to the Soviet Union in May 1985 with 80 other yogis,artists, teachers, actors, authors, and clergy to establish grassroots contactwith Russian counterparts. Upon returning home, I secured a job as a musicteacher in the New York City suburb of Mahwah, New Jersey.Our first child was born that August, and a new chapter ofmy life - that of a father - began in earnest, all the while attempting toserve humanity through music and my love of children.

People involved in that industry oftenclaim that young athletes are benefiting from recent changes to the system, butare current practices actually “good” for kids—or their families? Throughoutthe book, the authors draw from interviews they conducted with parents,players, and coaches, as well as their combined three decades of experiencewith youth sports. They document the challenges that parents face as theyoversee their children's extracurricular lives. The authors conclude that thedecisions adults make are often logical, given the emphasis our society placeson winning at all costs. More Than Just a Game provides parents with theinformation they need to navigate a profit-driven system that often overlooksthe needs of actual children.

He grew up in the German Democratic Republic undera Communist ruling government. Bernd attended the Technische Universität inChemnitz, Saxony, Germany, and graduated with a Master's Degree in MechanicalEngineering, with a focus on Manufacturing Process Design and Computer-AidedManufacturing. Very early in his life, he began to show an interest in Germanhistory, music, and modern information technology. When the Berlin Wall,separating East and West Berlin, fell on November 9, 1989, his world radicallychanged - an event that allowed him to embark on a personal journey, eventuallyleading him to move to Phoenix, Arizona, where he lives today.Bernd's move to the United States connects him with Fritzwho served many months in an American POW camp in 1945-1946 after WWII ended.The - what could be called: The Häber Family Trilogy - link between him and hisgrandfather is Bernd's father Herbert Häber who had climbed up in the hierarchyof the East German Communist Party, the SED, and later became a member of thePolitburo in 1984, the political body composed of the highest officials of theparty, state, and security organs. In 1985, Herbert was expelled from thePolitburo due to a staged high-level plot against him. After Germanreunification in 1990, Herbert was indicted and prosecuted for being allegedlyresponsible, as a Politburo member, for some of the killings at the BerlinWall. He faced two related criminal trials at the District Court of Berlinbetween 1995 and 2004.Bernd is the author of several books, such as "LettersTo and From My Senators FLAKE and MCCAIN: How they might have failed to fulfilltheir constitutional obligation", "Tempest - 20th Anniversary",and "The Wondrous Story of Hugo and Matilda". Bernd co-led theSpanish Civil War history project together with Björn Krondorfer - Director,Martin-Springer Institute at the Northern Arizona University called"Stories from the Spanish Civil War" which includes Bernd's greatuncle (and brother-in-law of Fritz) and other International Brigades volunteersfrom the United States, the UK and Canada.

Found an emotional and powerful post from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson)  where he brought up the fact that we don't hear too much about - “Amazing souls don't just happen.”  I think we all know people that can be called “beautiful souls”. People that just do good things. They encourage, are kind, help others, are giving, full of compassion and encouragement for others. Inky brings up the fact that they just don't happen. They come from spots in life that had tough moments, heartbreak, pain, suffering, etc.  This is a great reminder for us to not only look for & acknowledge these people that we are blessed to have in life, but to also be one ourselves for others.

She has advocated for the rights of the most vulnerable, counseled people from all walks of life, developed curriculum, trained social workers and educators, coordinated research projects, ran groups and facilitated workshops. She cares deeply for humanity and believes we are capable of reducing our daily suffering, finding deeper meaning and purpose in our lives, and living more fully into our potential. Listen to Deborah Podcast   PHILOSOPHY Deborah is a holistic psycho-spiritual therapist, who encourages her clients to live from love rather than fear, be guided by their intuitive inner wisdom, and integrate trust, compassion, and empowerment into their daily lives. When she began her private therapeutic practice over 30 years ago, Deborah was compelled to incorporate a holistic approach, understanding that the integration of body-mind-spirit enriches our health and well-being.  She embodies this belief by caring wisely for her body, mind, and spirit. Deborah values and brings consciousness to nutrition, physical exercise and vitality, a thirst for knowledge and wisdom, and her ever-growing spiritual practices.  EDUCATION Deborah completed her doctorate in clinical psychology from The California Institute of Human Sciences in Encinitas, CA; received her masters degree from Hunter College School of Social Work in NYC; graduated Magna Cum Lade with a BA in Psychology and Teaching Certification in elementary and special education from College of New Rochelle, NY; and earned her LMT at The Swedish Institute of Massage Therapy in NYC, having studied eastern and western massage modalities. She is also an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND From high school through the early years following college, Deborah taught modern and jazz dance to children, teens and adults. People would question how she could have two seemingly distinct jobs: dance teacher and social worker. For Deborah there was not such a disconnect, whether teaching dance or teaching communication skills, both helped people believe in themselves and build confidence. Deborah began her social work career in the early 80s empowering minority women to enter the work force with confidence, assertiveness and effective job skills. She worked in school-based drug prevention programs, counseling teenagers and families and later running parenting workshops throughout Brooklyn and Queens, NY.  She was a consultant for numerous organizations providing presentations, trainings, staff development workshops, retreats, clinical case conferences, curriculum development, professional development and strategic planning for counselors, educators, social workers, and policy makers. In addition, Deborah worked at a community-based health center, integrating medical and educational services for the most vulnerable. She was hired by Yale University's Consultation Center to direct innovative, comprehensive programs in high-risk middles schools (healthy decision-making curriculum, peer leadership, peer mediation, parent support groups and community organizing collaboration). Deborah coordinated a federally funded research project through Hunter College School of Social Work (HCSSW), focused on effective child welfare practices. Following that research project, she became the Director of Training at HCSSW's National Resource Center for Permanency Planning, helping to improve policy and practices in child welfare throughout the country. Deborah has developed a thriving private practice in Psychotherapy working with children, teenagers, and adults, individuals, couples and families for over 30 years. Over a decade ago, Deborah did an internship with Hospice, where she discovered her natural comfort with the dying process. That comfort and humility led to being invited into the dying process of friends and relatives. Her first experience of being present as a dear friend passed allowed her to feel like a mid-wife to death. She experienced the sacredness of ushering someone to let go of what they previously anguished over, forgiving others as well as themselves, and releasing fear as the dying person softened into acceptance and peace. She is grateful for the wisdom, compassion and guidance she found in "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" for not only sitting at the bedside of the dying, but being inspired to write and deliver meaningful eulogies. As an ordained inter-faith minister, Reverend Dr. Mama A feels honored and privileged to officiate weddings. She marvels at the invitation into the vulnerability, intimacy and dreams of couples, while helping them create sacred ceremonies to profess their love. Rev. Dr. Mama A thoughtfully delivers unique, personally relevant, heartfelt sermons, while delighting in these celebrations of love.   The Stand Up Community Chat is always active with other Stand Up Subscribers on the Discord Platform.   Be sure to visit https://www.patreon.com/PeteDominick/membership and scroll down where you should see a "Connect to Discord" button.

Well hello, everyone! We recorded this episode a few days after we returned from Obsessed Fest ‘23. … Though it's probably more accurate to say that we recorded this episode a few days after we *fled* Obsessed Fest ‘23. Eh, tomayto, tomahto.  We talk about Obsessed Fest quite a bit in this episode, but if you'd like more information about what happened, we have two recommendations:  First, we recommend listening to the latest episode of the podcast One Dry Kiss. Their episode, “Obsessed Mess, Mischief MisManagement and Amazing People and Podcasters,” is a firsthand account of what the weekend was like for attendees.  Second, we recommend listening to the latest episode of Rabia and Ellyn Solve the Case, titled, “About Damn Crime: Obsessed Fest.” In that episode, Ellyn Marsh, Rabia Chaudry, Joey Taranto, Maggie Freleng, Daisy Eagan, Amber Hunt, Harris Lane and Ashleigh Gibson share their experiences from the weekend. If you like receipts, this is the podcast for you. By the way, if you listen closely to this episode, you might hear Kristin cover a timber swindler. It's a troubling story about a man named Ralph Raines, who was exploited by a “psychic” named Rachel Lee. Over the course of ten years, Rachel took nearly everything Ralph had. And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Psychic Fiend's Network” episode of American Greed “Sweetheart Swindle” episode of 20/20 “How a psychic stole millions of dollars from an Oregon timber heir,” by ABC News “Phony wife in sweetheart swindle, who bilked millions from Gaston tree farm heir, gets prison,” by Bryan Denson for The Oregonian “Daughter of Oregon psychic pleads guilty to helping bilk millions from Gaston tree farm heir,” by Everton Bailey Jr. for The Oregonian “‘The Sweetheart Swindle': Rich older bachelor targeted by family,” True Crime Daily  YOU'RE STILL READING?
