Podcasts about aunt helen

Marion Detjen talks to Spiracle about her great aunt, Helen Wolff - author, translator, publisher and founder of Pantheon Books. Marion describes her fascination with her great aunt as a writer and as one of Germany's 'New Women', a term which refers to the intellectually pioneering women who shaped German culture from the early 20th century - born in the same year as Wolff is the German philosopher Hannah Arendt. Marion has written (and we have recorded!) the fascinating companion essay to Background for Love by Helen Wolff in which she delves into the basis of the novel in Wolff's own life as well as the political and social forces that led her to abandon hope of publishing it.

In the final episode of What Happened In Alabama, Lee considers the man his father became, despite the obstacles in his way. Later, Lee goes back to Alabama and reflects with his cousins on how far they've come as a family. Now that we know what happened, Lee pieces together what it all means and looks forward to the future. Over the last nine episodes, you've listened to me outline the impact of Jim Crow apartheid on my family, my ancestors and me. I've shared what I've learned through conversations with experts, creating connections to how the effects of Jim Crow manifested in my own family.In the process of this work I lost my father. But without him, this work couldn't have been accomplished.My name is Lee Hawkins and this is What Happened In Alabama: The Epilogue Rev. James Thomas: You may be seated. We come with humble hearts. We come, dear Jesus, with sorrow in our hearts. But dear Jesus, we know that whatever you do,dear God,it is for your will and purpose. And it is always good. We buried my father on March 9, 2019. His funeral was held at the church I grew up in. Mount Olivet Baptist Church in St. Paul Minnesota.Rev. James Thomas: Dear God, I pray that you would be with this family. Like you have been with so many that have lost loved ones and even one day we all know we are going to sleep one day.Thank you for preparing a better place for us.Mount Olivet's pastor, Rev. James Thomas, knew my parents well, especially since my father was part of the music ministry there for 30 years. It was a snowy day, but people came from all over Minnesota and from as far away as Prague to pay their last respects. I looked at the packed parking lot and all the cars lined up and down the street, and I felt a sense of gratitude in knowing that my dad had played such a strong role in so many people's lives, not just the lives of his own children and family.Rev. James Thomas: Brother Leroy is probably playing the guitar over there. We can hear him with that squeak voice “yeeeee.” Jalen Morrison: We could talk about Prince, we could talk about gospel music. He was even up on the hip hop music, too, which kind of shook me up. But I was like, okay, Grandpa [laughter] Naima Ferrar Bolden: He really just had me seeing far beyond where I could see. He had me seeing far past my circumstances. He really changed my perspective, and that was just life altering for me ever since I was a little girl. Herman Jones: He just had the heavy, heavy accent. He still had that booooy. But you know,he was always smiling, always happy all the time. You know, just full of life.As I sat and listened to all the speeches that came before my eulogy of my dad, I couldn't help but recognize both the beauty of their words and the extent to which my father had gone to shield so many of the people he loved from the hardest parts of his life—especially Alabama. It was as if he didn't want to burden them, or, for most of our lives, his children, with that complexity. Most people remembered and honored him as that big, smiling, gregarious man with the smooth, first tenor voice, who lit up any space he was in and lit up when his wife, children, grandchildren, family, or friends walked into a room. He loved deeply; and people loved him deeply in return. And though he was victimized under Jim Crow, he was never a victim. In fact, after he sat for those four years of interviews with me for this show, opening up the opportunity for so many secrets to be revealed, he emerged as even more of a victor.In our last conversation, he told me he wasn't feeling well and that he had been to the doctor three times that week, but was never tested for anything. And Dad,  after that third visit, he just accepted it. I do wonder if there was ever a time in those moments that he had a flashback to his mother being sent home in a similar way - 58 years prior - but from a segregated Jim Crow Alabama hospital. I don't know. I'll never know.Tony Ware: Yeah. Mine. You know, I would always ask my mom, you know, about Alabama. You know, she was one of the five that came up here. That's my cousin Tony Ware. His mom was my Aunt Betty. The “five” that he's talking about were my Dad's siblings who migrated to Minnesota from Alabama -  my aunts Helen, Toopie, Dorothy, Betty, and my Dad. Tony Ware: They kind of hung around together and they would always have sit downs where they would talk. Get a moon pie, a soda. Hmm. Some sardines.Lee Hawkins: Cigarettes. Tony Ware: Cigarettes, sardines. And they would start talking. And some white bread. And they would sit there and talk and we would hear some of it. I sat in my mom's lap, and you know, they're talking about this, and it's like they just went into a different world. When I was a kid in Minnesota, I loved when my dad's sisters and their kids would come over. Us cousins would play hide-and-seek and listen to our music while our parents sat around the dining room table, talking and laughing, and listening to their own music. Our soundtrack was always great – Prince, Michael Jackson, New Edition, Cameo – but theirs was, too, with Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Butler, Johnny Taylor, and Bobby Womack. The food was even better. They'd talk over one another, smoke clouding the air under the chandelier, and my allergy-sensitive nose could detect that smell from three rooms away. Sometimes, I'd sneak a quick sip from an unattended can of beer in the kitchen. Despite the bitter taste, getting away with it always gave me a thrill. But then, someone would mention the word “Alabama,” and that festive energy would suddenly vanish.Tony Ware: But I heard Alabama. I heard this. I heard names that I never, you know, heard, you know, because all I knew was my aunt Dorothy, Lee Roy, you know, all I knew was. But then I heard certain names, uncles such and such. And I'm like, Who? Who, what, what? To us as kids, "Alabama" was more than a place—it was a provocative word that brought a suffocating heaviness to our lives. My cousin Gina remembers, even as a child, that mysterious word and the weariness it triggered in her mother. It left her feeling utterly helpless.Gina Hunter: And I would just sit there and listen to them talk about home and all the things that bothered them. Oh, my God. And yeah, it would hurt my feelings because I would see my mom just break out and cry for nothing. They would be talking and a song would be playing and Betty would just kind of get, she'd well up. Lee Hawkins: Yeah. Gina Hunter: And I'm like, Why are they so sad? Why are they so depressed? They they're together. They've got their kids. We're visiting, we're having fun. But it wasn't fun for them.That veil of secrecy our parents kept around Alabama, prevented us from seeing it as anything other than ground zero for, in our family, dreadful despair. Even when they talked about the happy memories— the church revivals that they called “big meeting,”  and picking fresh strawberries right off the vine – it seemed like a thread of fear just wove through almost every story. Tony Ware:I knew something was going on more than what I knew here, you know, at a young age. So. I was always interested in finding out. But through my mom, you know, she she would talk about how nice it was down there, how beautiful it was down there. But she never wanted to go back there.And as Gina remembers– and I agreed– it  colored every facet of how they raised us. As she spoke, I just sat there, marveling at the fact that she could have replaced her mom's name with my dad's name, or any one of those siblings, and her observations would still be spot on. Gina Hunter:My mom was and Aunt Helen, they were super, super close. And there was always just a deep seeded paranoia of people in general, just like everything. And I would think, why are these people why are they so scared and nervous and afraid of life and people and experiencing things? It seemed like it led them to live a super sheltered life.The central question of this podcast is, "What happened in Alabama?"What happened was Jim Crow apartheid—a crime against humanity committed by the American government against five generations of Black families like mine. This apartheid lasted for nearly hundred years, officially ending in 1964, and created generations of people who perished and millions who survived. I refer to these individuals as Jim Crow apartheid survivors. However, America has yet to acknowledge that Jim Crow was apartheid, that it was a crime against humanity, and that the millions of people who lived through it should be formally recognized as survivors.In the prologue, I explained that so-called Jim Crow segregation was not merely about separate water fountains and back-of-the-bus seating. Through the accounts of family trauma I've shared, we now understand it was a caste system of domestic terrorism and apartheid, enforced by a government that imposed discrimination in every aspect of life through laws and practices designed to maintain white supremacy. The myth of "separate but equal" masked a reality far more sinister and pervasive than what most of us were taught in school.We often think of white supremacy as fringe hate groups, but we've overlooked its traditional and far more damaging form—a government-imposed system that oppressed Black people for a century after emancipation. This isn't a distant academic concept or an opinion or a loaded political statement; it's a fact. This is recent American history, and it deeply impacted our families, controlling every aspect of our lives physically, mentally, and emotionally for five generations after slavery.Since 1837, every generation of my family in America has had a member murdered, often with no consequences for the white perpetrator. The fear, caution, and grief were passed down by those who stood around the caskets, including my father. The daily indignities only compounded this grief, leading to accelerated aging and chronic stress that I believe ultimately killed my father. Yes, Jim Crow apartheid killed my father.Still, I'm encouraged because I have the platform to tell this aspect of the story. Sharing this story has been extremely difficult, but I've been lifted not just by my faith and ancestors but also by my family, their support, optimism, and determination. With this new information, we live with the awareness of the effects of slavery and Jim Crow, striving to break their negative cycles and be empowered by the accomplishments of our families who found ways to thrive despite the oppression caused by those crimes. Telling this story has fortified my resolve, reminding me that our past is not just a story of struggle, but of relentless triumph and dignity. For generations, we have managed to thrive together as a family. By infusing even more consciousness and evolution into our families with each generation, we can continue to thrive.That's why I'm grateful for my cousins, including my first cousin, David Stanley, the son of my dad's sister, Aunt Weenie, who articulated this sentiment powerfully during an interview with my cousins, my father's sisters' children.David Stanley: I think it's a new form of freedom, OK. And even though they faced the backwardness of Jim Crow and all those things that our ancestors went through, they still had their dreams and dignity. And no matter what happened, it's not about the environment around you, it's the environment inside of you. ‘You're not going to stop us. We're going to continue to grow. So by doing that, they said, ‘Okay, you know what? We are going to plant the seed, our offspring, okay?' You can do this in our generation during this time, but guess what? There's another generation coming up.' And that triggers all the way to us today. And then you got your nieces and your nephew, and then you got grandkids, et cetera. Lee: Yeah. And your kids have all master's degree and PhDs. And then your wife is a superintendent of a school district. David: That's right. Yep. So they left their seed, they left their vision. And my point is that I believe that they are all up in heaven smiling down on us and really proud of us.David: I have to go and take that trip to Alabama and bring my children with me and my grandkids with me, because it's vital. Because you put that out there, I really appreciate that. That's something that's definitely going to be done ,and I think that's something that we all need to do, to rekindle and reconnect and do those things. The past can't hurt you, but my point is that by being in the present right now, now we can solidify our future, you know what unapologetically. And do the things they were always yearning to do, in their lives. And they couldn't do them. But they can do them through us.Lee Hawkins: A lot of it is facing your parents' fears,that's what it id. for them as well. My dad really loved Alabama. He did. And my dad would talk about that in a very nostalgic way, but also the fear was still there. And so when I started going to Alabama, I was going for him as well. Not to mention, I have had a couple of people in the family say, ‘Oh be careful down there.' And Aunt Toopie even said, ‘You went in that field? You went to that cemetery?' That fear was on me when I first went to Alabama. The last trip that we went to, I did it with family.Walking through the cemeteries and the landscapes of Alabama alongside my family who live there transformed my mission, helping me to finally lay my father's fear to rest. Lee Hawkins: Mary Ruth's Southern Food for Southern People Made with Love. I love that. That slogan. Marvin Smith: Welcome to Mary Ruth's. Thank you for coming. Lee Hawkins: You got some grits on the griddle huh. Marvin Smith: Oh I got it all. Got me some grits, cheese grits, patty sausage, salmon croquettes, link sausage, bacon. Whatever you ask for we'll cook it. Pancakes, whatever. Hey, we aint Burger King but you can sure get it your way though. Group: [Laughter] There's so much energy in the cafe. I feel the family. My family. We spend a couple hours eating together. Mapping family connections. People come into the cafe, some grab their food and take a seat, some join us. A woman walks in the door and she recognizes me…. not because she knows who I am, but because of my resemblance to her husband, he's also a Pugh. Erica Page: Y'all got a line that will not just go away. It's strong genes. You'll have strong and strong. Yes, cause I have a daughter and a grandson. Oh, God. Looks just like him Her name is Erica Page. Lee Hawkins: You know, Uncle Ike Pugh? Erica Page: We went to the house several times.At one point, someone pulls out a family reunion book. It's a laminated, spiral bound scrapbook. Someone put a lot of work into making it. We're flipping through the pages together….Lee Hawkins: My grandma was Opie Pugh.Erica Page: I know the name. Lee Hawkins: She was. Well, she was Ike's sister. Erica Page: I know. I know the name.I means she's in the book. We find pictures of our Pugh ancestors, Uncle Ike and my dad's mom, Grandma Opie. I've seen these photos before through my research into the family tree.But suddenly, Alabama feels different from the times I visited before for research. I am not surprised that the shift in my relationship with Alabama was guided by my family members who chose to stay rather than migrate north. They stayed and evolved Alabama to the point where both Montgomery and Birmingham now have African American mayors. They, and the millions of Black people who stayed, led a movement that benefits all Americans today. In discussing the hardships my family endured there, it is important to recognize that the progress of our people and our nation is largely attributable to the activism of the courageous Black Americans who stayed and fought. These same Black Americans welcomed me back to Alabama with open arms and support, encouraging me to move forward with this project. They reminded me not to be resentful or afraid to come home, to give Alabama a chance, and to offer it the same benefit of the doubt and acknowledgment of complexity that I give my country.Understanding that it was our families, the Black descendants of American slavery, who led the movement that resulted in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, ending Jim Crow apartheid and bringing America closer to liberty and justice for all, reinforces the reality that, despite significant trauma, we have remained a solutions-oriented people, some of the most effective activists this nation has ever known.Their legacy and courage have shaped Alabama and America and their spirit of irrepressibility continues to inspire me.In my forthcoming book, "I Am Nobody's Slave: How Uncovering My Family History Set Me Free," published by HarperCollins, I will strive to capture not just the stories of trauma but how we can continue to conquer it as a family, a Black American community, and a nation. Inspired by the spirit of my ancestors and my father, who transcended the limitations Alabama tried to impose on him, I will continue my journalism on several issues discussed in this series.  These include exposing and addressing the long-term effects of corporal punishment in homes and schools, the impact of childhood trauma on the health and well-being of children, encouraging school districts to implement policies of mandatory consequences for hate speech and harassment, and highlighting economic and health inequities along racial lines. I will also focus on the plight and power of Jim Crow apartheid survivors as they strive to quell the ripple effect of historical atrocities on their families.The question now is, what can we all do as a nation to recognize Jim Crow as a crime against humanity and to support the millions of Americans over 60 who lived in the South during this unfortunate period? How can we make our homes, schools, and society safer for the generations of children and grandchildren coming behind them?Together, we can acknowledge our past, honor the strength of those who came before us, and build a future filled with hope, determination, and joy. Let us rise with the resilience of our ancestors and create a world where every child can dream freely and every family can thrive. Lee Roy: You've run the game and you know the Lord and you're doing your thing, man. And that's the best you can do as far as I'm concerned. You have to keep your heart and your head up. I don't know this thing about being proud. I know the Lord and I know the Lord loves me. So if I'm proud, man, please forgive me and if I shouldn't be, but it is a poor dog that don't wag his own tail, son, when you're trying to reach your goals, I'll put it like that, you know. Lee Jr.: Right on. Well, okay buddy, I'm going to hit it, but I'll be in touch, okay? Lee Roy: Yeah, keep going, man, I'm loving it. I'm loving what we're doing, Lee. Lee Jr.: Okay, love you, Dad. Lee Roy: Okay man. Love you. Bye.CREDITS

On Episode 186 of Ready 2 Retro, friend of the show, Andy Foreman returns to talk about his first ever published novel, "What We Find Back Home"! This is Andy's first interview discussing the book in detail and R2R is honored to be the inaugural site for the conversation to take place! Description of "What We Find Back Home":When Arthur Belding was a child he could swear that he heard an unexplainable voice talking to him from the shadows of his Aunt Helen's basement. When he returns to visit her many years later as an adult he is convinced that the voice was merely the overactive imagination of a little boy. But as night falls and the house grows quiet, Arthur can still hear that voice drifting up the stairs from out of the basement's impenetrable darkness.LINK 2 BUY:

Swimming is a favorite summer activity in Texas, as it provides respite from sweltering temperatures. Charles Armstrong grew up in the Bell's Hill area of Waco and describes where he and other boys would go to cool off: "And from Twenty-ninth Street over where the Baylor stadium is now, there was a fence across there, and it wasn't anything but mesquite patch up there where the stadium is. And it had a little—back over there by the railroad track, had a creek come through there, and it was pretty clear water and had swimming hole up there called Little Lake. And we'd go up there and go swimming in Little Lake. And it was—you had to cut across that pasture there by where the stadium is now to get down to it." The swimming hole was isolated, and the boys were very informal, as Armstrong explains: "If you had some swimming trunks, fine. If you didn't, fine. You could just go in naked, whatever. (laughter) And when a train come along, we all got up and paraded for them as they come by. They'd [be] sitting there with white tablecloths on them tables and little things like we keeps on the table here, little—look like a little lamp there with a candle in it, you know, sitting on a table and people all dressed up in suits and everything. We'd stand out there naked [and] wave at them. (laughter) But we did that—we did that many, many times." Alva Stem, former director of Waco Parks and Recreation, remembers the role of swimming in his childhood in Waco: "My father worked for the police department as a detective, and they were given a pass to the municipal swimming pool, or ‘the beach,' over on North Fourth Street. This was a season pass to go swimming free, and so my brother and I—my brother Jack and I—always went down to the swimming pool once a day to go swimming. Later on in the years, when I became about twelve years old, I was hired as the basket boy, and the basket boy is a young man that takes the baskets that they had there and they would give to the patrons to put their clothes in when they changed into their bathing suits. Then it was my job to put their baskets in the proper numbers in the proper location in the basket room with the swimming pool, and to give the patrons their basket when they came back." John Lott Jr. of Goliad recalls that escaping the heat was sometimes a family affair: "Well, we went to the river every summer for about a month: Cousin Henry and Cousin Ella and Virginia Mae, Aunt Helen and Happy and Butch and our family and Aunt Hattie and Atch. And we had tents, and we'd camp down there at the bend, and Cousin Willy even came down and made a swimming suit out of a gunny sack: cut holes in it and put his feet in it and rolled it up and tied it around here. And we had a diving board and a swing. I know we had a—Dad made them a canvas house, partition with canvas, to where women and men could put on their bathing suits." Swimming helps make the summers in Texas bearable and more enjoyable. That initial splash every time erases all discomfort from the stifling heat. Boys enjoying a swimming hole.

It's almost here: that Thursday in November where we gather together, give thanks, and dodge invasive questions about our love life and rude insinuations about our political beliefs. To help cope, Kathleen has some comebacks you can have in your back pocket when Aunt Helen has tee many martoonies. Then, Bethany is fascinated by people predicting the end of the world, and there's something kind of comforting about knowing it's been going on since the year 66. She runs down some of the best doomsday predictions. Plus, Kathleen has sort of already committed a Thanksgiving faux-pas and her mom is probably going to be mad…. —— What We Talked About: 10:16 - Am I The Asshole Thanksgiving Role Pay 38:35 -  Funny Old Apocalypse Predictions ——— PATREON Dates in October + November: Nov. 21 - Special Thanksgiving Foodie Book Book Club @ 7:30 PM ET Nov. 29 - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET Dec. 7 - Study Buds @ 1 PM ET Dec. 6 - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET Dec. 13 - Lives Show @ 7:30 PM ET Dec. 17 - Book Club @ 7:30 PM ET Sign up at www.patreon.com/acquiredtaste ——— Check out our merch!:  https://store.dftba.com/collections/an-acquired-taste-podcast  ——— Please support the companies that support us!  Vegamour - Don't let damage of the past hold your hair back.

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:162-168Willow stood at the entrance to the flea market and gazed at the noisy scene. Vendors and customers were talking loudly to be heard, and booths full of dishes, toys, books, and furniture spread out through the whole building. "Wow! What a lot of stuff!" she exclaimed as she ran to catch up with her mother. "Are you looking for something special?" "Aunt Helen's birthday is next week, so I thought maybe we could find a candy dish for her," replied Mom. "She likes old-fashioned things.""Yeah, she says they have character." Willow pointed. "The booth over there has dishes." So they went to look and soon found one they liked."I'm ready to go," said Mom after paying for the dish. "How about you?""Can I look at those books first?" asked Willow, pointing toward another booth."Okay," said Mom, "but don't go out of this aisle. I'll look at some other things along here."Among the old books, Willow found a big, tattered family Bible. If it's old enough, it might be worth a lot, she thought. She checked to see how much it cost and found that it was only fifty cents. So she promptly bought it and went to show her mother. "Look, Mom. Do you think this Bible is old enough to be worth a lot of money?""Did you check the date in the front to see when it was printed?" asked Mom."I didn't think of that." Willow checked the date and was disappointed to find that the Bible wasn't very old at all.That evening, Willow showed her dad the Bible she had bought. "I thought I might be getting a priceless treasure, but I forgot to check the date to see if it's really old." She sighed dramatically. "It isn't. The good part is that it only cost fifty cents.""Oh, but it's still priceless," Mom assured her. "It's the Word of God, which is valuable beyond measure."Dad nodded. "The Bible tells us how we can have eternal life through Jesus, and it offers us guidance and encouragement as we go through life with Him. Mom's right--even though you can't sell it for a lot of money, you bought a priceless treasure at the flea market today."-Harriett A. DurrellHow About You?Do you have a priceless treasure--a Bible? No matter what you paid for your Bible, it is valuable. The paper may not be the finest, and the binding may not be the softest leather. But the Word of God--which is written inside--is priceless. It's full of God's treasure--the truth and promises of Jesus. Read it so you can discover the priceless treasure He wants to share with you. Today's Key Verse:I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure. (NKJV) (Psalm 119:162)Today's Key Thought:The Bible is true treasure

Welcome Back to Jonah Asks. In this episode, meet Don Greenstein. I've known Don since I was a child. His mom is my Great Aunt Betty, which makes him my cousin. Don has a background in conflict management, facilitation of difficult communications, organizational development, law, and creative dispute management processes. He has more than 30 years of experience creating unique conflict resolution processes to meet the needs of those involved...at least that is what his work bio says. Don is a warm, compassionate and thoughtful human. I'm grateful we had this talk. music: Bright Eyes "First Day of My Life"OpeningFamily BackgroundLiving above the Vet Hospital in Victor, New York (1950s and 1960s)Don goes out into the field and helps his dad deliver a baby calf0:08Don's paternal grandparents were from Germany and Hungary, coming to the U.S. in the 1890s. 0:10Don's parents, known as "Betty and Eddie" to the rest of the family, met in Farmingdale, New York. They were married for 72 years and knew each other for 77 years. 0:13Divorce Becomes Common in 1970sDon's parents and Jonah's grandparents (on both sides) all had marriages that lasted over 65 years. Nearly all the children of those three couples have been through their own divorces. Don: "I think it was the culture of my generation. It was easier to throw things away than work on them.""It takes two to get married and it takes two to get divorced."On what kept marriages together in the 1940s and 1950s. Don: "Relationships are hard, but I think people of the older generation knew hardships and knew how to work and were willing to stay." Jonah mentions cultural changes, employment changes and opening up of options for women.Mediation: Creating a Fair ProcessMediations require people to give up things on both sides. When people walk away from mediation, if each person is a little agitated, that's probably a win-win. If one person feels very happy and the other is mad, that's unacceptable to me.Both people have to be willing to compromise. I've often thought it would be a great way to set a business model. If this is a hot dispute and you're going to yell at each other, then my rates are going to be $500 an hour. If you guys can work together, It'll be $150 an hour."Business Counseling Versus Personal CounselingDon had social work experience working with juveniles when he was in college. "Even though I have to be neutral, I'm more connected to the people I work with than counselors allow themselves to be. In my work now as an ombudsman (Brandeis University) Ninety percent of the people I see, I only see one person." 0:23An Ongoing Mediation: Getting a Couple to Finally Reach Agreement After Two and a Half YearsDomestic relations mediation. Don worked for a firm where he worked on a complicated and drawn-out divorce case.Jonah talks about the experience of being a child of divorce. How repressed anger impacts families. Unleashing anger in a controlled way is necessary and a relief. 0:31Releasing Anger in Cathartic Way Vs Repressing AngerRicky Gervais' character on the show "After Life" releases his anger in ways that most people rarely do. 0:35Helen and Earl (Lynma and Poppadaddy)Don's Aunt Helen and Uncle Earl were Jonah's grandparents, known as Lynma and Poppadaddy0:40West Virginia AdventureDon worked for an Outward Bound Rehabilitation Program in Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia. 0:46Nature, Mindfulness and Self-Care0:52Collective Political Urgency, Restorative Justice and State Legislation Around Issue of EqualityState legislatures restricting the vote and enforcing right-wing agenda on issues of equality around race and sexualityVoting restrictionshttps://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/voting-laws-roundup-december-20210:56Working as an Ombuds: Dealing With Those Who Won't CompromiseDon's experience at the university-level with those in power that aren't always open to compromise or other viewpoints.

My 90 year old Aunt Helen agreed to have me interview her on what would've been my mom's 93rd birthday. She always has so many stories that I have never heard before so I thought I would share her with you. Enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/powerhouseofdiversity/message

This might sound a bit biased but if you're in the industries that Mike Doehla (@mikedoehla) and I are in, you should listen to this podcast.    This episode truly exemplifies the purpose, vision and values of The Lifestyle Chase. We recorded this about 30 minutes after I received news that my aunt (who was essentially my grandma) passed away the night before. I shared with Mike that I'd maybe seem a bit distant because I wanted him to know what was going on in case I seemed a bit off. I never want people to feel like I don't value their time or that I'm not engaged in the conversation and he was one of the best people I could have ever recorded with that day.    We talked about how Facebook and Instagram crashed for a day, and what we learned from it. He shared with me the emotions that fatherhood brings him as a new dad. We discussed how meaningful it is to do what you love in life and how he wants nothing more than to see more people enjoy their work and have happy lives.    I'd love it if you shared this one on social media. Tag @mikedoehla, @christianliddle, and @thelifestylechase   www.invigoratetraining.com   {This episode is dedicated to my Aunt Helen. She loved cats and she had a warm energy that made everyone feel loved. I'll make her proud one day.}

It's beet season! Today I will run you through how to process beets pickled, sauce and pressure canned July Webinar: Canning Meat - July 24 at 2pm. Stump the Sauce Hey, I heard one of your latest podcast about the price of eggs at the store vs. the local farm and had a brain wave... If it's true that farm eggs are more nutritious then wouldn't it be good idea to market your eggs not in "$&¢", but in terms of "nutritional value" similar to purchasing regular gas and premium gas. The premium gas might "appear" more expensive (I.e. farm eggs) however...you get more mileage (nutrition) out your dollars spent. I think if the customer saw two boxes of eggs side-by-side but priced in $/nutrition ratio then they might be more likely to pick the farm raised variety? What's Up in the Garden Harvest time has arrived: squash, eggplant Inattention killed my green beans (And there is still time) Tomatoes are looking great Time to prep the fall garden - I am not kidding Main topic of the Show:  Canning Beets Choosing produce The boil peel versus manually peeling Pickling Nicole Sauce's Sugarless Sour Beets Brine: 1/2 cup pickling or kosher salt 5.5 cups 5% vinegar 6 cups water Per quart jar spice mix (add to jar) 2 heads dill weed 2-4 cloves garlic 1-2 hot peppers (cayenne or jalapeno) 6 peppercorns 20/25 mins Aunt Helen's Beets Brine (make enough batched to cover beets) 1 qt vinegar (5% acidity) 6 c sugar 2 TBSP salt (plain, kosher, or pickling: may not be iodized) 2 tsp pickling spice Sauce Beet Ketchup See Janet on Mewe for the recipe!

FREE WORKSHOP ~> What if I told you your handwriting speaks volumes (no pun intended) about your confidence, self-esteem, ability to speak up for yourself, and how much concern you take with the opinions of others? You'd be like, “Now, wait. What!? Come again?” I know, I know. Stay with me. Believe it or not, it's actually part of a scientific process called our Ideomotor Response which refers to the way we communicate our subconscious thoughts through our physical being… a.k.a. Handwriting. (Pssst… it's also how ouija boards work too, so SPOILER ALERT, it wasn't your deceased Aunt Helen trying to convey a message to you.) A few years ago, I went through a wildly fascinating certification in Handwriting Analysis and I think you may find this tool surprisingly helpful in setting and establishing boundaries. Not to mention that it's super easy and simple… it may be one of the easiest personal growth tools you ever use. Like, you literally just write a bit differently. You in? In this episode, I spill some little-known secrets on how slight alterations to your handwriting can change how often and how well you speak up for yourself. If you like to geek out on the hybrid of science and woo, this is up your alley. Get out a blank sheet of paper and a pen and get ready to boundary your ass off. This episode explores: Understanding the Ideomotor Response and how it registers in our handwriting What you need to do with the margins of your page if you want to establish boundaries The letter that symbolizes communication and how you can shape them to better speak up for yourself The serial killer's handwriting sample I reviewed during my certification and what it indicated about them ______ NEW *FREE* WORKSHOP READY TO GET RID OF PERFECTIONISM, SELF-DOUBT, AND OVERWHELM?

You'll learn the exact five-step process I take my clients through so they can let go of all the stress and angst of striving for “perfect” and caring waaaaay too much what everyone else thinks.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://tinyurl.com/rfbkmsfa My Brilliant Career By (Stella) Miles Franklin Narrated by Sarah Bacaller Sybylla Melvin is a misfit. She barely endures the dreary life of dairy farming in a family that can hardly make ends meet. Out of the blue, she is invited to move back to the family property, Caddagat, to live with Grannie, Aunt Helen, and Uncle Jay Jay. With a cast of interesting neighbors and friends, Sybylla finally seems to discover hope in the world. She is nourished by thoughtful conversation, books, and music. Harold Beecham's love, however, throws her into indecision and painful tension. Will she be satisfied with following the well-trodden path of marriage - a path she perceives as demeaning and restrictive? And when she is abruptly sent away from Caddagat to help pay family debts, her "brilliant career" takes a disruptive turn. This coming-of-age story, set in the Australian bush and originally published in 1901, is prefaced by an introduction from iconic Australian poet, Henry Lawson. The novel was written by Stella Miles Franklin when she was only a teenager. Franklin became a significant figure and patron of Australian literature through her involvement in the Australian literary scene in the 20th century. This impact continues today through the famous annual literary prize, the Miles Franklin award.

Tola and Filippo analyse a poem by T.S. Eliot

Arlo's first episode! We talk about bastard fathers, why Arlo and Helen's house looks familar to Chris, we uncomfortably describe the sexy-time between Raylan and Ava, and Randy theorizes that Aunt Helen was pretty hot back in her day.

Oh boy, this is it. Meredith and Dad have the "funcomfortable" fantasy suite conversation. Also included, a slew of episode Highs / Lows, contestants right reasons / wrong reasons and an MVP award that only Meredith could give. Also, Dad shares why he's miffed with host Chris Harrison and gives fatherly advice from Aunt Helen.

Exploring the Strengths of Seeking Help Long before there were hypnotherapists, there were family members. Aunt Helen listened or gave us advice, or sometimes Granny Annie just told us to toughen up and move on. If our family couldn’t help, there were friends or a clergy member. However, most of us were likely warned not to broadcast our troubles, and this led to people feeling they had to suffer through their problems silently. Times change, and so has society’s acceptance of seeking help. The old stigma of being seen as weak or incapable is primarily gone, helped by many well-known writers, actors and politicians being open about their struggles with, and treatments for, everything from depression to chronic shoplifting. Going to a hypnotherapist is now seen as a positive step in most people’s lives. Hypnotherapy is a unique collaboration and what makes it valuable sets it apart from family associations, friendships, working partnerships, and even love relationships. According to WebMD, hypnotherapy can be used to treat anxiety, phobias, substance abuse including tobacco, sexual dysfunction, undesirable spontaneous behaviors, and bad habits. It can be used to help improve sleep, learning disorders, communication, and relationship issues. Hypnotherapy serves as a balance in which two people are collaborating on a single project, helping the client deal with their problems and achieve the change they want. There is no other agenda. It’s the simplicity of that agenda, combined with a structured schedule, confidentiality, and trust, that make this unique relationship work so well for so many people. Rather than proof that someone is “sick,” it is a sign of good health to commit to change. Some people still believe a hypnotherapist will make them do things they don't want to do; this belief couldn't be any further from the truth. You get to choose your outcome. You choose what to say. You decide when to say it. Nowadays, there is an incredible number of ways to explore problems. In addition to hypnotherapy, there is Therapeutic Imagery, NLP, Neurofeedback, Biofeedback—even laughter therapy—to name just a few. For every kind of problem and every type of person, there is a therapeutic healing modality that fits. The strength of hypnotherapy is that there are no strings attached. So let's look at some further benefits of the therapeutic relationship: 1. Safety. If the connection is right, you can feel safe to reveal your fears, dreams, and fantasies without fear of repercussions or judgment on the part of the hypnotherapist. Unlike telling a friend or family member, your words to a hypnotherapist won’t come back to haunt you. 2. Learning. Hypnotherapy can be seen as a profoundly educational experience, in which a hypnotherapist acts like a coach or a teacher to help the client understand their world—inner and outer—in new and positive ways. We all have felt overwhelmed at least once in our lives. Grief, loss, anger, financial hardship, relationship problems, stress—all of these are a normal part of life to some degree. So is seeking help when coping is just too hard. It’s also normal to be a little afraid of what friends and family might say about seeing a hypnotherapist. However, in the end, it’s your life, and you know best how to make it a richer, happier and more fulfilling one—with a little help. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thesamigroup/support

Once again I lost a someone I care about to Cancer. Ya know, this is the 4th time I’ve lost someone in my life to this horrible disease. First it was my friend Mary, then my Aunt Helen, then my father, and now my friend Louise. I first met Louise about 2 years ago, and let me tell ya she was one of a kind. When I met her she was age 67 but going on age 21. What made her interesting was her attitude on life. She was filled with so much life, and as far as I knew she never complained about anything. Plus she was a AC/DC fan, which was unusual for a woman of her age, but also very cool in my book. I think what I’ll miss the most about her will be the talks that we used to have and her great attitude. Even when the chips were down she remained strong. My deepest sympathies go out to her son Shawn Pinkerton and his family. I also want to express my deepest sympathies to her sister Harriet Hutton, Brother In Law William Hutton, and niece Vickie. I truly believe Louise is in a better place right now and I hope to see her again one day. Rest In Peace Louise, I’ll never forget you.

n this edition of Anacostia Unmapped, we visit D.C.'s Takoma neighborhood to hear from a woman who was inspired by our story about Aunt Helen, a legendary neighborhood-watcher in Anacostia. Original photograph by Brandon Gatling.

Over the last five months, as part of the Anacostia Unmapped project, three people in the Southeast D.C. neighborhood have been recording interviews with their neighbors. It’s a place where families can often trace their roots back several generations to a single block or house. In this installment, poet and playwright John Johnson visits LaTeashea Lofties, a friend whose family has a long history in Anacostia. We find out about her Aunt Helen, who sat in the window all day "watching everything and everybody. And I when I say everybody, I mean you could not hook school. You couldn’t have boys over. Because she would tell. She had everybody’s numbers on a pad and she’d use that rotary phone.”

Sharon Loy explains : my career as an animal communicator combines my lifelong love for animals, my fascination with language, and my passion for understanding the inner workings of the psyche.  This unique diversity of interests has prepared me to be expert at what I do. Academically, my background includes a B.A. in psychology with a minor in philosophy, a B.A. in French, a B.F.A. in Fine Art, and a Masters Degree in Teaching.   I taught visual art, French, and humanities at the high school level. My journey with animal communication began one day when I was looking online for resources to help with my cat’s behavior problem.  I found and ordered Carol Gurney’s book The Language of Animals:  Seven Steps to Communicating with Animals. After reading the first page, I experienced the profound awareness that I have been inherently doing this all my life.  Looking back, my whole life began to make sense. I grew up in the suburbs, so the scope of my animal menagerie was limited to dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, parakeets, and rabbits.  However, I always wanted to live on a farm.  Going to my Aunt Helen’s and Uncle Ernest’s farm in Kentucky was the biggest treat for me as a child. I loved collecting the eggs from the chicken coop and begged my aunt and uncle to let me pet their beef cattle. The truth is I have been communicating with animals all my life—feeling their joys and pain, hearing their stories, and seeing it all through their eyes.  http://listentoyouranimals.com www.melissaboyd.net Melissa Boyd offers Vibrational Intuitive  Mediumship
