Is seeing believing? Or is believing seeing? As Lucy follows Aslan toward the Stone Table, the others must decide whether or not they can bear to follow someone they cannot see for themselves. Yet, as they walk by faith, not by sight, the glimpses of Aslan begin to bring repentance, grace, and sanctifying growth, preparing the Pevensies and Trumpkin ultimately for the path toward Caspian and the war against evil.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday November 25th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories, and a quick summary of other important things happening in our state.   Today, we’re focused on how Coloradans are marking the Thanksgiving Holiday amidst a pandemic.   Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to November 25th,  1935 when The Colorado Supreme Court reinstated disbarred Denver judge, Benjamin Lindsey. It also happened to be his birthday. Lindsey had worked to establish a special juvenile court to remove young people from the general criminal population. He also battled the KKK which may have contributed to his disbarment as they then accused him of cheating during the election despite a lack of evidence.   Now, our feature story.    Today, Colorado Sun staff writer Lucy Haggard is joining to talk about what Thanksgiving looks like this year for folks all around the state. As Lucy mentioned, you can find accounts of how Coloradans are celebrating differently this year by visiting ColoradoSun.com and searching for “Thanksgiving 2020”.   Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today:   In a week where hundreds of thousands of Coloradans are expected to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday and the state’s coronavirus numbers continue to get worse. Gov. Jared Polis delivered one of his strongest warnings to date about what the consequences of that travel could lead to. - Katie Farnan a mother-turned-activist from Boulder helped launch a campaign against Cory Gardner in early 2017 - it was best known by its mascot, Cardboard Cory. As one of the most cohesive advocacy campaigns in modern Colorado politics, many think that it led to Cory Gardner’s defeat before the 2020 election even began. - Denver’s current and former mayors say that a “dysfunctional” school board mistreated the departing Superintendent Susana Cordova. - Nine months into the coronavirus pandemic and amid the state’s largest surge in critical cases, the level of protection jail inmates get from the virus still depends a lot on where they’re incarcerated.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.    The Colorado Sun is non-partisan and completely independent.

We are starting off our Philanthropy month with Lucy Wallace, The Founder of Dance to Be Free.  As a life-long dancer and student of psychology, Lucy got the idea to start teaching dance to the women’s prison population in Denver in  the Spring of 2015 and was teaching inside by July 2015.  We talked about the genesis of her idea and how, when she began, we was the only non-faith based volunteer group in the women’s prison system and how her experiences led her to expand her program after only 6 months to not only teach, but to teach inmates to become teachers themselves under the guise of offender-led programming.  We talked about remembering the humanity in the women behind bars and her mission to help women heal from trauma through body-based healing.  We also got into some personal and poignant examples of some of the women she has helped heal from both personal and ancestral trauma, finding their worthiness and innate leadership skills and empowering them to pay it forward in the prison community and beyond. As Lucy puts so well, “ It’s about catharsis and regaining control, not calories.” We also talk about the challenges of starting and running a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, the collective encouragement she has received both inside and outside the prison system, and how her self care is “coming back to the magic” of working with the women inside. Lastly we touch upon how she is attempting to expand her focus into jails such as the infamous Rikers Island facility in New York City.   Additional Resources:“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.”- RUMI Sia - Never Give Up (from the Lion Soundtrack) [Lyric Video] Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine, Ph.D.: 9781556432330 Dance To Be Free was on CNN! Lord of The Dance by The Dubliners https://youtu.be/OjPGSFDy8wo Time: The Kalief Browder Story on Netflix https://g.co/kgs/jCTtdB “6 in 10 women are in federal prison for nonviolent drug crimes. For every woman who has committed murder, there are 99 drug offenders.” – Amos Irwin Chief of Staff at the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation   Guest Bio:Since Lucy was 8 years old, she has been dancing. In 2010 she bought a Boulder based dance studio after receiving her master’s degree in Psychology. Her psychology background led to the birth of Dance To Be Free due to the therapeutic and cathartic quality of her teaching style. As one student shared: “Wallace is a gifted and compassionate teacher whose style is vocal and impassioned, raunchy and raw, while simultaneously elegant and fluid. To be in one of her classes (I have attended classes at the studio) is to be both vulnerable and strong, to have fun and push oneself physically, to feel what one feels, and to move about it. Imagine how powerful that could be for incarcerated women.” Jane Perle Lucy has been invited to speak at several speaking engagements including Emerging Women and the first ever live streamed Tedx Talk at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women. Her work is spreading and catching on throughout the prison industrial complex. Charity Highlight:  Dance to Be Free Dance To Be Free: Home Our mission is to radically improve the lives of incarcerated women through the healing power of dance. We use “Cathartic Choreography” to train our students to teach each other – allowing them to sustain the program themselves. We have seen this technique help our students deal with physical and mental illness, including PTSD and complex trauma.  Our “Offender led ” programming gives our students confidence. That sense of accomplishment flourishes as our students learn to not only express themselves through dance, but to free others to do the same. Throughout this transformative experience, we teach the nuts and bolts of choreography, timing and flow, and just as importantly we facilitate journaling and sharing exercises that nurture introspection and self-awareness that inmates often need.

The loss of Big Ten football for this upcoming fall at least has certainly felt like heartbreak. And to string this analogy out even further, Big Ten social media superstar Lucy Rohden makes her debut on the podcast to share in the sadness of losing fall sports. As Lucy states accurately, this is serious and the heartache that has come with it needs to be addressed. We come together as a Big Ten community to try and start the healing process.

“I would ask you the question, does it help to feel scared?” wonders Lucy McRae. How do you think about the future at a time when the future feels so uncertain? In this third edition of Faraway, so close—a podcast dedicated to considering the anxieties and opportunities emerging in the arts in our new COVID-19 world—artists Cyrus Tang and Lucy McRae give their thoughts and feelings on where we are now, and where we’re headed next. While Cyrus talks about loss and transformation, sitting with anxiety, and her experience of migrating from Hong Kong over 15 years ago, Lucy discusses what it’s like in Los Angeles, the importance of resilience and optimism, the fallibility of human bodies, and the future of art, biology and technology in our ‘new normal’. As Lucy sums up, “There’s a potential revolution rendering in the background, and the opportunity that comes out of hitting rock bottom, despite the discomfort and the suffering, is a really great to create change and transformation.” You can subscribe to the Art Guide podcast on iTunes or Spotify, and listen back to the first episode of Faraway, so close with artist Yvette Coppersmith and curator/director Alexie Glass-Kantor on solitude, and episode two with artists Tai Snaith and Ross Coulter on creating and parenting.

In this episode I spoke with Melbourne doctor, author and speaker Lucy Desmond who is spearheading a project titled "Beauty Within Medicine” - it's aimed at changing the way we teach medicine through a series of beautifully designed and illustrated infographic textbooks that she and her team hope will provide more engaging resources for medical students that also reflect the diversity of our modern society.As Lucy explains in this episode, early on in her own medical training, it occoured to her that the range of human bodies used as the basis of her anatomy education was pretty much limited to – in her words – skinny young anglo-saxon males – and that it seemed to her that a lot more could be done to prepare modern doctors for the much more diverse range of human bodies they would ultimately be confronted with throughout their careers.With the first text in Beauty Within Medicine series is currently on track to be released later this year, Lucy spoke about how she has been able to find the time to work on this project, some of the push back she’s received as a junior doctor challenging the way medical education is delivered, and why she feels it is so important for her to put her money where her mouth is on this issue.

They don’t talk and then when they do talk they are rude. How does communication change in the teenage years? In Episode 3 of the Teen Clinic Podcast, youth advocate, teen expert and mother of three Lucy Dahill from Why Be You tackles hot topics such as respect, trust, and how to effectively get talking with your teen. As Lucy always says, all behaviour is a form of communication. Teens are working with a brain that is rejigging to deal with upcoming independence and more complex relationships, and it's always better to work on a health and balance model than to try and fix situations that have already exploded.

If you or someone close to you has ever tried to give up alcohol for a stretch of time, you know that it can be a challenge, and hitting an anniversary or another milestone is a real achievement. Have you ever wanted to celebrate a sober achievement with someone? If so, you may have looked for a greeting card to commemorate the occasion – and if you did that, you probably noticed that there weren’t many choices. Today’s guest made that very discovery, then decided to do something about it.  Lucy Wilkins and her business partner Sara Bender both had people in their lives who had struggled with drinking. When Lucy went looking for a greeting card to celebrate her loved one’s 100 days sober, she was temporarily stymied when she couldn’t find what she was looking for. When she talked it over with Sara, they decided to start making their own cards for the sober space. Their company is called We Are In Good Co.  “We’re just saying, just make space for the people those cards aren’t relevant or appropriate for.  Just make space for the sober cards.” Lucy explains that attitudes around sobriety are changing and younger people are more likely to be open and celebrate their sobriety, where older generations are more likely to hold their sober status close to the vest.  As Lucy points out, sobriety doesn’t necessarily have to be a response to addiction or bad experiences with alcohol – going alcohol-free is a lifestyle choice, and many people choose it because they prefer it or because it’s healthier.  Lucy and Sara have run into some challenges distributing their cards because some people assume that their niche is too small. However, they believe that the sober niche is growing, and the feedback they receive suggests that there are people out there searching for the type of fun, sober greetings offered by We Are In Good Co.  LINKS & RESOURCES  OYNB Website: https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/ OYNB Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Oneyearnobeer/ OYNB Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/199505820380513/ OYNB Twitter: https://twitter.com/oynbuk/ OYNB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneyearnobeer/  LUCY WILKINS’ LINKS & RESOURCES  We Are In Good Co.: https://weareingood.co/ We Are In Good Co.

JILL SANTOPOLO New York Times bestselling author of THE LIGHT WE LOSTand Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick "This love story between Lucy & Gabe spans decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers try to return to each other...Will they ever meet again? This book kept me up at night, turning the pages to find out, and the ending did not disappoint."--Reese Witherspoon A four-time SkimmReads pick, September 2017 Belletrist Book of the Month, and the February 2018 Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine pick, THE LIGHT WE LOST by Jill Santopolo is an essential addition to your beach bag. Called “The epic love story” by Redbook and “heart-wrenching yet beautiful” by Us Weekly, THE LIGHT WE LOST is an immersive, heartrending novel about the inner workings of the human heart, the lengths we go to pursue our dreams and the sacrifices we make for love. With shades of the tragic choice in Me Before You, the fated scope of One Day, and the immutability of The Time Traveler’s Wife, THE LIGHT WE LOST explores the dreams, desires, jealousies and betrayals that can accompany passion, especially when the stars align against an indelible, if fragile, love. With foreign rights sold in over thirty countries, it has struck a chord both at home and abroad—proving that love is universal, as is its consequences. “This book will sink its hooks into your heart on page one,” says Bustle, “and leave you scarred long after you’re done.” About THE LIGHT WE LOST On a day that irreversibly alters both of their lives, Columbia University students Lucy and Gabe come together amidst tragedy, fueled by a deep connection found in a dark moment. What follows, over the course of more than a decade in a series of beautifully written vignettes, is a journey that brings them together and apart as they to etch out their respective careers and come to terms with the concrete consequences of following their dreams. Gabe, inspired and compelled to travel to the Middle East as a war zone photojournalist, leaves Lucy in New York, where she forges a successful career—and, eventually, a life without the person she thought was her soulmate. She gives her heart to someone new, a steady, safe, and loving man named Darren. But as time goes on, Lucy realizes that she can never give her heart away again fully as she continues to cling to the impossibly perfect love she believes she was meant to share with Gabe. As Lucy tells the story of her life, she addresses Gabe directly, sharing memories and secrets that result in an unraveling destiny and surprising, unforgettable conclusion. Jill will address the following: · This story is so moving and so honest. What inspired you to write it? · Before The Light We Lost, you’d written primarily for children and young adults. Why did you decide to write an adult novel? · What was different about writing for an adult audience? Did your process change? · Lucy’s voice is so powerful and sincere on the page. What was it like to write her character? How much of you is in her voice? · How did you come up with Gabe and Darren? Did the men change as you developed the story? · So which are you: Team Darren or Team Gabe? · You yourself were a student at Columbia University on September 11, 2001. What was it like writing about this experience through fiction? Were your own experiences similar? · Without giving anything away, did you always know how the novel would end? · You also work as an editor of children’s books. What is different about writing your own stories from editing others’? Is there one side you prefer? www.jillsantopolo.com Twitter: @JillSantopolo Facebook: @JillSantopoloAuthor ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jill Santopolo received a BA in English literature from Columbia University and an MFA in writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Anyone?” I’ve cried so hard I felt like I was coughing up a lung. I’ve laughed so hard I almost peed my panties. I’ve loved. I’ve learned. I have actually lived my life this year instead of watching from the sidelines and I wouldn’t change any of it for anything.

French director Luc Besson must have allowed his imagination to go wild when he wrote the story for sci-fi action film “Lucy”, although the effect of such wildness is hard to determine. Scarlett Johansson plays the titular girl named Lucy, who is forced by a brutal gang to become an involuntary drug mule. During a violent encounter with a gang member, the small package sewn to her abdomen is broken and the leaked content is absorbed by her body immediately. This new type of synthetic drug unlocks the previously untapped potential of Lucy’s brain, giving her godly abilities such as telepath, control of gravity and many others. Ms. Johansson is very effective in her role. When taken by the callous gang, her trembling body and voice can totally convince us of her fears. And when the drug is being absorbed and processed, her gravity-defying movements herald a series of jaw-dropping developments. She grows colder and more impervious as she gains greater control of her cerebral power, but the actress is not to blame for a lack of expression, there simply is no need for emotions in the story. As Lucy experiences all those changes in her body, the film also tries to explain the phenomena. A certain Professor Norman played by Morgan Freeman introduces his theory at a symposium, his description matches the progress of Lucy’s transcendence and his image is intermittently evoked on screen to make sure the viewers are still following. The belief that humans only use a small part of our brain capacity has been the subject of many science fiction literature and films, but it is nonetheless a mere fantasy. Luc Besson’s “Lucy” is based on such a fantasy and for the most part consists of the director’s imagination of what it means to activate human brains on a full scale. There are some references to the purpose of life, but the topic is not treated with enough commitment. Anyway, before we arrive at the conclusion that “Lucy” is a childish story, let us at least entertain the idea that perhaps there is a hidden message behind the absence of logic. Days after watching the film, the title still reminds me of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The Beatles wrote a song about LSD, why can’t Luc Besson make a film about the influence of drugs?

Welcome to Dark Discussions podcast. Your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that's fantastic. What does it say to the viewer when the director, on a DVD edition, has an introduction to a film where he apologizes for what you are about to see? French director Pascal Laugier writes and directs the co-produced French and Quebec, Canadian feature film Martyrs starring the beautiful actresses Mylène Jampanoï and Morjana Alaoui. Part of the new variety of extreme French horror films, Martyrs may be the most literary and nihilistic of the bunch, yet arguably the most important. As Lucy and Anna, two young foster girls, come face to face with a simple middle class family that may have some relationship to the early childhood kidnapping and abuse of one of them, shocking violence ensues. Was the family responsible for the unexplained cruelty and exploitation which Lucy had to ordeal as a child or was it a case of mistaken identity that goes awry? What appears to be a revenge film filled with wrongful deaths may only be the scratching of the surface of a story that could include demons, cults, torture, and the very existence of God, Satan, and the afterlife. Having a lead cast that is all female and focusing on such horrible real life nightmares as child abuse, sociopathology, extreme religious conviction, mans inhumanity against man, fanatical sects both scientific and spiritual, and the unfulfilling act of vengeance, Martyrs takes an extreme approach to topics that main stream films only try to brush over. While leading the viewer to its ambiguous ending, the film changes focus at a minimum of five times and presents the audience with a new theme during each new direction. From the very opening seconds until the rolling of the final credits, the audience has no time to breathe or let sink in what they see during the film’s 94 minutes. Though just over an hour and a half, Martyrs packs a punch that most screenwriter’s only wish for. Afterwards, Mike Neel, the director of the films Drive In Horror Show and Infinite Santa, is interviewed about his work and also his upcoming projects.
