LW1520 - The Big, Big Problem of Repetition I've been doing multiple image projects now for 45 years and reviewing submissions to LensWork for 34 years. One of the things I've learned is that nothing kills a multi-image project as fast as repetition. The instant a viewer thinks, "I've seen this one before," their interest starts to wane. Even if they haven't seen it before, but think they have, the damage is done.

There's no perfect timeline for figuring out your life. But when everyone around you seems to be moving forward, it can be difficult to believe you're not falling behind.In this episode I sit down with film producer Jeremy Walton to explore why there is no normal path through life, and why starting a new chapter later than expected doesn't mean you've taken the wrong one.Jeremy came to filmmaking after a career in law, finance and venture capital. Rather than regretting the years he spent elsewhere, he believes those experiences helped prepare him for the work he eventually found himself doing.We talk about why there is no formula for building a career, how overwhelm can stop you from ever beginning, why making something imperfect can be more valuable than waiting until you're ready, and why success doesn't have to mean the same thing for everyone.But underneath the filmmaking, this conversation is about something much more universal: the pressure to know where your life is going, the fear that you should be further ahead, and what can happen when you stop measuring yourself against an imaginary timeline.Jeremy Walton is a film producer at Moo Studios, where he works across film and television development, finance and production. He describes filmmaking as his “second chapter” - one he says he wouldn't go back and start any earlier.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction: No Normal Timeline(00:52) Jeremy's Career Pivot(02:59) Creativity and Film Community(05:01) EQ Matters on Set(06:42) Getting Your First Script Made(09:29) Know Your Audience(13:42) Originality vs Commercial Reality(16:23) Compromise in Filmmaking(21:18) Write for Budget and Practice(25:57) Overwhelm and Finding Producers(28:17) YouTube and Content Explosion(31:15) Buyers Market Reality(32:03) Budgets Race Down(32:29) Obsession Lessons(35:31) Defining Film Success(38:00) Career Paths in Film(40:30) No Normal Budget(42:07) Microbudget Proof(44:39) Actors Survival Tips(49:13) Ego Free Collaboration(51:45) Industry Future and AI(54:18) Advice to Younger Self(56:22) Where to Find MoreJoin the Move Your Mind Community:go.nickbracks.com/mymcommunityConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Jeremy:https://www.moostudios.com/ Hosted on Acast.

God Is Shaking His Church: Judgment, Restoration & the Return to Biblical Foundations | KIB 546 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION Is the shaking in the Church merely destruction—or could God be using judgment to prepare His people for restoration? In KIB 546, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine a powerful biblical pattern: when God's covenant people depart from His established foundations, judgment can become an instrument of restoration. Scripture repeatedly reveals a progression: ·      God establishes His order. ·      Mixture and compromise enter. ·      Prophetic warnings are given. ·      Repentance is resisted. ·      Judgment exposes and removes what is false. ·      A faithful remnant returns to covenant. ·      God restores upon the foundation He originally established. From the Babylonian exile and the rebuilding described in Ezra, to Jeremiah, Haggai, Josiah, Hebrews, Revelation, and the New Testament Church, the pattern remains remarkably consistent. Judgment does not necessarily mean that God has abandoned His people. His discipline can demonstrate precisely the opposite. Hebrews 12:6 teaches that the Lord disciplines those whom He loves. Dr. Lake explains why God may have to dismantle spiritual corruption, false doctrine, religious entertainment, prosperity thinking, celebrity culture, pagan mixture, and man-made traditions before genuine restoration can occur. The question for the remnant is not simply:  "God, will You revive what we have built?" A more important prayer may be:  "Father, remove everything we have built that prevents us from becoming what You intended." This episode examines the biblical sequence of judgment, remembrance, repentance, return, obedience, holiness, and restoration—and why understanding that process may be critical for the days ahead. God is not calling His people to invent another Christianity. He is calling His people back to the foundation. ·      Christ has not moved. ·      The Word has not changed. ·      The Kingdom cannot be shaken. The shaking reveals what God never built, so what He established can be seen clearly again. The remnant must return to Christ, biblical authority, holiness, obedience, covenant faithfulness, prayer, sound doctrine, the fear of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit's leadership. "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken." — Hebrews 12:28 KEY SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED Jeremiah 30:11 Jeremiah 1:10 Jeremiah 7:4 Jeremiah 29:10–14 Deuteronomy 30:1–3 Isaiah 28:16 1 Corinthians 3:11–13 Haggai 1:5–9 2 Kings 22:11 2 Kings 23 Hebrews 12:5–11 Hebrews 12:26–28 Revelation 2:4–5 Revelation 3:19 1 Peter 4:17 Ezekiel 9:6 Isaiah 10:20–21 Zephaniah 3:12–13 John 15:2 CALL TO ACTION The time has come for believers to examine everything by the Word of God. Ask the Father to reveal anything in your life that has been built upon human tradition, cultural compromise, Babylonian thinking, or a false spiritual foundation. Choose now to cooperate with God's restoration process. ·      Return to His Word. ·      Return to holiness. ·      Return to obedience. ·      Return to covenant faithfulness. ·      Return to Christ.

LW1519 - Those Who Touch Us Deeply If we are lucky, our art life is filled with people with whom we connect deeply through their artwork. For example, I love Caravaggio, but not that crazy about Botticelli. Why? Why do we connect with some work more deeply than others? Seriously, why? What is it about these artists that touches us so deeply? Even if we don't find answers, asking such questions and spending time with their artwork is a joy that adds something precious to our experiences.

In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's study of the seven churches in Revelation by focusing on Pergamum, Sardis, and Philadelphia. He calls the church to reject compromise, wake up from spiritual apathy, and step into the authority God gives His people through His Word and Spirit. With practical encouragement for families, church community, and personal discipleship, Samuel challenges listeners to live awake, repentant, and spiritually engaged—holding fast to faith, resisting the enemy, and trusting God to restore strength, purity, and authority where it is needed most.

Institutions confuse their own survival with the work of God. Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Ashish Varma close the diagnostic arc of this series with transaction, meaning the trade a person or an organization makes when preserving the platform becomes more important than the faithfulness the platform was built for. The anchor text is Jeroboam, who sets up worship at Dan and Bethel not to introduce a different god but to keep his people from traveling south. Varma's reading sharpens it: the question is whether Israel gathers around the presence of God or whether God is expected to gather around Israel. The conversation turns on how easily success gets read as approval. Spencer flags the language of institutions insisting that God needs them to be what they are now more than ever. Varma answers with Habakkuk, where God raises up Babylon in response to injustice and Babylon is still judged for how it behaves, and extends the point to a mission history in which the gospel genuinely spread through colonial expansion that was itself blessed by churches and was still indefensible. Being used is not the same as being approved. Spencer adds Nebuchadnezzar, named as God's servant and punished seventy years later, and the distinction holds: the exile was deserved, the brutality was not. What follows is uncomfortable for anyone who works in one of these places. Institutions may end because their course is run, or because they failed, or in spite of their faithfulness, and outcomes do not tell you which. Spencer, who consults with seminaries and Christian colleges, describes leaders trapped by buildings, accreditation, and systems, protecting a vehicle rather than the thing the vehicle was for. Nobody pursues a doctorate in order to preserve an institution. The question both men land on is whether the model has quietly been substituted for the mission.

Does democracy need Christianity to survive? Jonathan Rauch — a gay, atheist, Jewish journalist at Brookings and The Atlantic — has concluded that it does. His 2025 book, Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy, argues that Christianity is a load-bearing wall in the American experiment, and that two decades of de-churching have left the whole structure sagging.As an outsider who once celebrated secularization as progress and watched what filled the vacuum, Rauch now claims that democracy needs Christianity. What he found is that when the church stopped carrying its load, toxic partisanship, tribal politics, and substitute religions rushed in to take its place.Host Doug Stuart talks with Rauch to work through why the founders counted on Christian virtue, which three teachings of Jesus underwrite liberal democracy, why compromise is a Christian act rather than a betrayal, and what the church has to recover to be worth listening to again.Chapters:0:00 Intro0:22 Guest Intro and Book Origins4:03 Christianity's Civic Role7:28 Churches, Decline, and Politics12:23 Liberalism and Democracy Defined13:56 Founders on Virtue18:52 Jesus and Liberal Democracy25:10 Compromise as a Creative Process29:53 Congress and Political Cynicism32:50 Reforming a Broken System33:45 Christians and Culture War35:38 Freedom, Fear, and Public Faith38:10 Pseudo-Religions Fill the Void41:25 Libertarianism and Christianity45:39 Altruism, Virtue, and Freedom51:15 Latter-Day Saints and Agency59:18 Make Christianity Peculiar AgainAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Come meet fellow Christian libertarians, sharpen your thinking, and be part of a growing movement rooted in faith and freedom at the Christians for Liberty Conference.Lunch is included in the price of the ticket.

The dimensions of freestyle wrestling demands a fundamental shift in physics. When James Green made the transition up to 74 kilograms, he abandoned the comfortable speed differential of 70 kg to step directly into the most physical, unforgiving meat grinder in international combat sports. Facing larger, naturally heavier frames that punish the smallest flaw in positioning, the four-time All-American, Big Ten champion, and two-time World medalist adapted his game plan to secure his eighth World Team spot at 33 years old. Host Shane Sparks connects with the Nebraska legend at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs to isolate the structural durability behind a decade at the apex of the sport. Green strips away the romanticism of senior-level wrestling to detail the brutal physical realities of competing through severe anatomical wreckage—including a torn hip labrum and bulging discs during his collegiate career—and explains how physical limitations forced him to abandon reliance on raw athletic scrambles to build a suffocating, world-class top game. The conversation examines the personal tragedy that forged Green's resilience long before he stepped into a Division I varsity room. Green tracks the impact of his father's murder when James was just ten years old, detailing how he channeled grief into sports, relied on his mother Joyce's unyielding standards, and built a mental baseline that treats on-mat setbacks with absolute perspective. From analyzing the positional tactics that earned him a rubber-match victory over David Carr at Final X to evaluating the coaching philosophies of Mark Manning, Travell Dlagnev, and his transition to Virginia Tech, Green delivers a raw study on career longevity, positional discipline, and the true price of staying on the mat.

LW1518 - The Hard Work of Being an Artist The minute we pick up a camera and decide we want to make pictures more meaningful than snapshots, we unknowingly embrace the art life. The first challenge is entirely technical and, at least these days, fairly easily mastered. Well, if not mastered, at least doable with reasonable competence. That's when the hard work of being an artist begins. All previous episodes of our weekly podcast are available to members of LensWork Online. 30-day Trial Memberships are only $10.

As the trade deadline looms, Ottawa tells premiers that U.S. booze may need to be put back on the shelves should the two countries reach a trade agreement. We dig into the latest with Rob Benzie, Queen's Park Bureau Chief of The Toronto Star.

Show Notes The 1842 Mexican invasions of Texas and their aftermath, including the Mier expedition and the Black Bean Incident. Sam Houston's use of privateer-style commissions, authorizing Charles Warfield and later Jacob Snively to raise private forces against Mexican trade on the Santa Fe Trail. Warfield's failed raid near Mora, New Mexico, and his men's 200-mile walk back to Bent's Fort after losing their horses. The unrelated robbery and murder of Santa Fe merchant Antonio José Chávez, and its effect on U.S.–Texas–Mexico relations. Snively's Battalion of Invincibles, their march to the Arkansas River, and their lopsided victory over Governor Manuel Armijo's advance scouts. Armijo's retreat to Santa Fe and the U.S. Army's intervention under Captain Philip St. George Cooke, including his disputed disarming of the Texans. The diplomatic fallout: Santa Anna's closure of the Santa Fe Trail, Texas's formal protest, and the military court of inquiry into Cooke's conduct. The shift from Lamar's aggressive New Mexico policy to Houston's peace-seeking approach, and how the boundary dispute was eventually settled in the Compromise of 1850. The later lives of the expeditions' key figures, including Jacob Snively, Charles Warfield, and Captain Philip Cooke.

Welcome to Day 2926 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. Day 2926 – Theology Thursday – Biblical Leadership: A Study in Character, Consequence, and Integrity Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2926 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2921 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website, theologyinfive.com.   Biblical Leadership: A Study in Character, Consequence, and Integrity. Leadership in Scripture is never measured by charisma, military strength, or political skill. The biblical authors consistently judge leaders by their faithfulness, humility, and devotion to justice. The accounts of kings and rulers throughout the Bible reveal both the blessings that follow righteous leadership and the judgment that falls on those who abuse authority. These stories span Israel, Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, showing that Yahweh holds all nations and rulers accountable, not only His covenant people. The first segment is: Pharaoh of Egypt: Pride That Brought a Nation to Ruin. The Pharaoh encountered in the Exodus account held absolute power within Egypt. His refusal to release Israel revealed a heart resistant to the authority of Yahweh. Even as the plagues displayed divine judgment, Pharaoh's pride pushed him toward decisions that harmed his people and devastated his land. His story is an enduring illustration of how leaders who elevate their own authority above truth bring suffering upon themselves and those they rule. The second segment is: King Saul: A Leader Consumed by Jealousy. Saul began his reign with promise, but his insecurity grew once David rose to prominence. Rather than celebrate Yahweh's deliverance through David, Saul viewed him as a rival. His jealousy hardened into paranoia, which shaped his leadership and led him to focus on David instead of protecting Israel. Saul's downward spiral demonstrates how internal corruption eventually reshapes every part of a leader's public role. His tragic end stands as a warning about the destructive nature of envy and fear. The third segment is: King David: A Leader After God's Heart Who Still Faced Judgment. David is remembered for his devotion to Yahweh and his role in unifying Israel. He displayed courage, integrity, and a shepherd's heart. His failures, however, reveal that even great leaders are not exempt from judgment. His sin with Bathsheba and his involvement in Uriah's death led to personal and national consequences. David's repentance and willingness to return to Yahweh show the humility that sets righteous leaders apart, even when they falter. The fourth segment is: King Solomon: Wisdom, Prosperity, and the Danger of Compromise. Solomon's early reign reflected wisdom and devotion. His construction of the temple and his administration brought peace and prosperity. Over time, his alliances and accommodation of foreign worship drew his heart away from Yahweh. The resulting spiritual compromise planted seeds that eventually fractured the kingdom. Solomon's life illustrates how gifted leaders fail when they drift from faithfulness. The fifth segment is: King Ahab: Greed and the Abuse of Authority. Ahab represents the danger of a leader who lacks moral grounding. His coveting of Naboth's vineyard and his willingness to accept Jezebel's deadly scheme expose a pattern of selfishness and corruption. Ahab used his authority to secure his own desires without regard for justice. The consequences that followed highlight the seriousness of exploiting power for personal gain and ignoring the responsibilities of righteous leadership. The sixth segment is: Sennacherib of Assyria: Blasphemy and the Fall of an Empire's Pride. Sennacherib's reign represented the height of Assyrian power. His campaigns were marked by cruelty and the oppression of surrounding nations. When he threatened Jerusalem and mocked Yahweh, he crossed the line from political aggression to spiritual defiance. Scripture records that Yahweh struck down his forces in a single night, showing that no king, no matter how powerful, can stand against the God of Israel. Sennacherib's fate reveals the limits of human power and the certainty of divine judgment on arrogant rulers. The seventh segment is: Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon: Pride Confronted by Divine Sovereignty. Nebuchadnezzar ruled one of the most powerful empires of the ancient world. His military victories and monumental building projects fostered a sense of self-exaltation. He demanded worship of the golden statue and boasted about his achievements without acknowledging Yahweh. His temporary downfall, recorded in Daniel, reveals how Yahweh humbles rulers who place themselves at the center of their own glory. Nebuchadnezzar's eventual repentance shows that Yahweh seeks restoration rather than destruction, even for pagan kings. The eighth segment is: Belshazzar of Babylon: Arrogance Without Repentance. Belshazzar provides a stark contrast to Nebuchadnezzar. During his infamous feast, he mocked Yahweh by drinking from the sacred vessels taken from the Jerusalem temple. His actions demonstrated reckless arrogance and spiritual blindness. Unlike Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar showed no humility or willingness to learn from past judgment. His rule ended immediately after Yahweh declared his kingdom weighed and found wanting. Belshazzar's story highlights the danger of leaders who dismiss warnings and treat sacred things with contempt. The ninth segment is: Religious Leaders in the Time of Jesus: Failing to Shepherd God's People. The Pharisees and Sadducees held positions of spiritual authority but often used their influence to elevate themselves rather than guide the people faithfully. Their fixation on outward observance blinded them to the heart of the Law. Jesus confronted their hypocrisy and exposed their failure to shepherd the people entrusted to them. Their example reminds readers that leadership becomes corrupt when it seeks reputation rather than responsibility. In Conclusion The biblical accounts of kings and rulers create a consistent moral vision of leadership. The stories of Pharaoh, Saul, David, Solomon, Ahab, Sennacherib, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and the religious leaders of Jesus' day show that authority is a trust given by Yahweh, not a tool for personal elevation. Leaders who walk in humility and justice create space for flourishing. Leaders who embrace pride, greed, or cruelty bring destruction on themselves and those under their care. Scripture reveals Yahweh as the one who judges unrighteous rule but also restores those who turn toward Him. True leadership reflects wisdom, integrity, and a heart aligned with His purposes. For further study, consider these Discussion Questions. How does Pharaoh's resistance to Yahweh set the tone for understanding how pride shapes destructive leadership throughout Scripture and the ancient world? In what ways do the stories of Saul, David, and Solomon show that a leader's private character inevitably affects the nation they govern? How does Ahab's corruption compare to the arrogance of Sennacherib, Nebuchadnezzar, and Belshazzar, and what patterns connect their failures? What can modern readers learn from Nebuchadnezzar's temporary repentance and Belshazzar's lack of repentance, especially regarding how leaders respond to correction? How does Jesus' confrontation of the Pharisees demonstrate that even spiritual leadership can collapse when authority is used for reputation rather than responsibility?

LW1517 - Why Make Art I don't want to sound morbid or fatalistic, but we are all headed for the ink maintenance tank at some point in the future. A good friend of mine recently survived a health crisis that almost ended his life. Whether or not we want to acknowledge it, we hang by a thread. I know that in the cosmic scale of things photography is not that important, but perhaps ART is. A recent quote from a television show: Science tells us how and where we live; History tells us when; Art and Literature tell us why. The purpose of life is not to make art, but the purpose of Art is to enhance our life. Good to remember that every moment we have is precious.

This is the first in a series of podcast we are doing going through the songs in our Extravagant Love album. In this episode we talk through what it means to be “holding the line”. Human nature seems to always be looking for the loop holes or as Hosea says "bent on backsliding". Compromise happens so slowly we often do not realize it is happening but by the power of the Holy Spirit God will empower us to go from glory to glory. We pray you are strengthened to hold fast to your faith!   Enjoy the first song from the Extravagant Love Album here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muwhXJI3ix8

Today on Window Treatments for Profit This is Part 1 of Small on Purpose, a new WTFP series for the window treatment professional who is choosing to stay solo, on purpose, and wants to run that business at full profitability. Choosing small is a valid decision, same as choosing to grow, and it deserves the same respect. But choosing small still requires real discipline around your numbers, and this series is built on both of those truths. In this first episode, LuAnn lays out 2 ways people build a small business on purpose, full time inside limits you set yourself, or on the side, alongside something else, still expected to perform. She anchors both to a principle from designer Rachel Moriarty, someone LuAnn has known since 2016: "It's not a hobby, it is a business, and you have to run it like one." Then she tells the story of Exciting Windows member Susan Day, who ran her window treatment business solo for over a decade when she learned by taking the Exciting Windows Make A Friend 7 Step Selling System that she could intentionally set and reach revenue goals. 20+ years ago that goal was $100,000 a year. Now she approaches $1 million in gross revenue using the exact same system. Because of this system, Susan not only achieves her revenue goals but she also achieves arguably an even more important personal goal which is to take her 10 weeks off, every single year! LuAnn runs the actual math live, showing how the same revenue goal can take dramatically fewer appointments depending on just 2 numbers, average sale and close rate. Then she shares designer Adam Scougall's honest account of trying to make his design business his entire income, watching the pressure drain the joy out of it, and instead building a firm boundary, 2 projects a year, kept separate from his day job, a fraction of Susan's number and just as legitimate, because it was never about the size. It was about hitting your own number, on purpose. This episode gives you 3 concrete steps, 1 from each story. Tune in to see what your aha will be.

August 2, 2026 - City Central Elder Darrin Miller continued our sermon series through the seven churches in Revelation. In Jesus' letter to the church in Thyatira, we see that compromise rarely happens all at once—it quietly takes root when we begin to tolerate what God calls us to reject. Although this church was full of love, faith, service, and perseverance, Jesus revealed that beneath their strengths they had allowed false teaching and compromise to take root. Christ calls His people not only to do good works, but to remain faithful by resisting compromise and holding fast to Him.

In this episode of Bible Stories, hosts Matt Mullins and Todd Haymans continue their Confrontations series by examining the powerful story of Samuel confronting King Saul in 1 Samuel 15. Together they explore one of the Bible's most challenging lessons: "To obey is better than sacrifice." Why did Saul lose God's favor? What does partial obedience reveal about our hearts? How should Christians lovingly confront sin, and how should we respond when we're the ones being corrected? In this Bible study, you'll discover: • Why partial obedience is still disobedience • The meaning of 1 Samuel 15:22: "To obey is better than sacrifice" • How to confront others with truth and grace • Why humility is essential for spiritual growth • Biblical principles for repentance, accountability, and Christian discipleship Whether you're studying 1 Samuel, preparing to teach the Bible, leading a small group, or simply seeking to grow in your walk with Christ, this episode offers practical, biblical encouragement for everyday faith. Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:10–26 Topics: King Saul, Samuel, 1 Samuel 15, obedience, confrontation, repentance, humility, discipleship, Christian living, Bible study, Old Testament, spiritual growth.

LW1516 - Beyond the Rectangle We photographers have quadrilaterals on the brain. Why? The world is not quadrilateral. Why not compose in circles, ovals, or other shapes? Is it because cutting round or oval mats is so difficult? Are we prisoners of the straight-edge ruler?

The Rams left St. Louis in 2016 and ultimately paid hundreds of millions of dollars for it. Two residents — one who lives downtown and another whose neighborhood was hit by the 2025 tornado — make cases for how that money should be spent. In the newest episode of STLPR's podcast, “Meet Me,” we hear their conversation, along with 14th Ward Alderman Rasheen Aldridge's perspective on the behind the scenes negotiations over how the settlement money was allocated.

Uncompromised, Different, Blessed | Thriving In Babylon Every generation faces pressure to blend into the culture around them. In this sermon from Daniel 1, we explore how Daniel and his friends remained faithful while living in Babylon and what their example teaches believers today.

You'll be challenged to live faithfully, trust God's promises, and remember that He honors those who honor Him. Key Insights: Discover how Daniel's example teaches believers to stand firm without compromising biblical convictions. Learn how culture often reshapes identity, beliefs, and values, and how to remain grounded in Christ. Understand why holiness begins with deciding in advance to obey God.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey & your host, Diane Wyzga. I'm often asked: “What brought you to Whidbey Island?” It's a standard ice breaker question here. My cheeky response is: A ferry brought me; ferries being a mode of transportation among the Washington islands. Many folks come here, vacation, fall in love, and return to claim their spot. Not me. It wasn't love at first sight. In truth, I washed up on the shores of Whidbey Island. My relationship with this place is more like an arranged marriage than falling-head-over-heels in love. An arranged marriage flips the traditional hook-up, dating, live together, get married sequence. Matchmakers introduce the partners, a wedding occurs, and love and intimacy are expected to develop afterward during marriage. While Hollywood movies often frame relationships around immediate romance, arranged marriages rely on a partnership built on shared foundations where emotional bonds grow over time. It's a pragmatic mindset requiring work and compromise that helps offset early disillusionment when one person's habits rub up against the other's expectations.     Unlike the traditional scenario where attraction might peak during a “honeymoon phase” the gradual growth of friendship, love, and meeting milestones together sets up a long-term companionship supported by those strong ties.   Just like our marriages, traditional or arranged, the place we live shapes our identities, behaviors, and well-being. Places we live—like the tides— direct our attention, movement, social interactions, personal growth and development. The community molds our sense of culture, belonging, what is normal, expected, possible and accepted. In ways large and small place fundamentally influences our daily routines, opportunities, and personality. After almost a decade in this semi-rural place, with all the highs and lows that come with starting anew in unfamiliar surroundings how have I come to love thee, Whidbey? Let me count the ways.   There's the cool Pacific Northwest climate, the landscape of old growth forests, farms and farmer's markets, abundant wildlife (sometimes too abundant in the garden), a slower pace because of narrow, winding 2-lane roads and reduced speed limits, the November to May Rain Festival that turns our attention and activities quietly inward. Ours is a deliberate lifestyle. We don't have malls or the hustle and bustle of city streets, or easy access to stuff one can get over in AmeriKa. Of course, that means we rely on ourselves and each other, especially when the power goes out and the hum of generators fills the night sky. Ours is a deceivingly robust community of varied social fabrics, politics, spirituality, intellects and economics. We support writers, artists, hikers, fisherfolk, entrepreneurs, farmers, poets, seniors, educators, and volunteers. Every meeting and gathering comes with a potluck. Yes, it can take time to find your people in a tight-knit rural place, but it's also a matter of stepping out the door, inviting people to share your front porch, building connections, building trust, learning tolerance for others. By and large people on Whidbey are friendly, welcoming, smart, clever, willing to shed big city ways to make room for patience. Maybe even understanding because we do not see all things the same way.   Ours hosts a plethora of outdoor spaces, free public transport, and the most wonderful library system that is the hub of our social connectedness. Sure the prices are higher than most, we do struggle to make ends meet, healthcare service could be better, and ferry schedule might be sketchy at times; but I knew I belonged when people greeted me by name in the grocery store or ACE Hardware or I was invited to begin teaching story courses for adults. Don't get me wrong. Whidbey Island is not unlike your community. It's not all rainbows and rhubarb pie here. We have our share of folks who behave like dumbshits. But for every person who behaves like a dumbshit there's a dozen who are truly kind and decent. That's the bit to remember because despite the ups and downs a time must come when you agree with yourself to set aside feelings of uncertainty, venture out, expand your horizons, engage with your new found community. As an introvert's introvert the idea of making a coffee date was not in my toolkit; but once I did step out it became easier and I learned that others were just waiting to be invited. This place called Whidbey Island is the place I live; even more important are the people I'm still coming to know who are shaping who I am. “But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all.” *** Question: What is it about the place you live that has charmed and shaped you? *** Weathering ~  by Fleur Adcock "My face catches the wind from the snow line and flushes with a flush that will never wholly settle. Well, that was a metropolitan vanity, wanting to look young forever, to pass. I was never a pre-Raphaelite beauty and only pretty enough to be seen with a man who wanted to be seen with a passable woman. But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all. My hair will grow grey in any case, my nails chip and flake, my waist thicken, and the years work all their usual changes. If my face is to be weather beaten as well, it's little enough lost for a year among the lakes and vales where simply to look out my window at the high pass makes me indifferent to mirrors and to what my soul may wear over its new complexion."

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—China is quietly preparing for a future beyond Vladimir Putin, cultivating relationships throughout the Russian political establishment as Moscow becomes increasingly dependent on Beijing. Once viewed by Xi Jinping as a model of strength, Putin now finds himself leading the junior partner in an increasingly unequal relationship. Later—a Gulf-backed proposal offers a possible path toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The plan calls for shared regional management and voluntary shipping fees, but would require Iran to abandon its demand for sole control over the critical waterway.

In this episode, I reflect on a documentary that brought back a deeply personal memory and sparked an important conversation about boundaries, consent, and self-worth. Sometimes the people we love ask us to do things that don't align with our values or make us feel emotionally or physically safe. When that happens, it can be incredibly difficult to stand your ground, especially if you're worried about disappointing your partner or damaging the relationship. In this conversation, I share my own experience and why I believe protecting your peace, your values, and your body is never something you should have to apologize for. A healthy relationship should never require you to betray yourself. - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

Neil Lanctot recounts the June 1916 Republican convention, which nominated Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes as a compromise candidate to block TR and save the party. TR, realizing he lacked sufficient support, made the difficult decision to decline the Progressive Party's nomination and support Hughes to prevent a Democratic victory. The campaign was marked by Hughes' lackluster style and Wilson's clever political maneuvering. A central issue was women's suffrage; Hughes eventually supported a federal amendment, while Wilson cautiously argued for a state-by-state approach to avoid alienating his base. Despite threats from suffrage groups to campaign against him, Wilson maintained support in many suffrage states. The election largely hinged on the European war, with Wilson campaigning on the idea that he had "kept us out of war." However, the peace was fragile, as the German submarine threat remained quiet only because they had temporarily backed down after the Sussex incident. (6)1914 Federal Reserve

LW1515 - On Your Walls at Home What artwork do you have hanging on the walls at your house? What photographic artwork do you have hanging in your house? Let's consider this more deeply: What percentage of the work you have hanging in your house is yours and what percentage is photography by others? Most photographers I know own lots of work by others, but display in their house mostly their own work. Does that make them egotistical or just proud? Do we display our own work to share or to brag? How does your answer to this question shape what you have on your walls right now?
