The Eve of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ 24 December 2024 - 4 p.m. A Festival of Lessons and Carols Some early childhood Christmases in my native Ohio were spent at my aunt's home in Youngstown, where my father was born. His mother, Grandma Mary, was still on this side of heaven and holding forth from the kitchen, bracciole and hot sausages simmering in her pot. What I remember most after the smells, was the travel. An hour's drive in the snow and ice, my dad's hands flying from the wheel as he issued commentary on the evening, me braced between my younger sisters in adjoining car seats, and my mom pregnant with our next sister, calming us with songs of Judy Collins. All of us were draped with blankets, guarding us from the unreliable heat of an aging Volkswagen Rabbit.

The mother of Mary Shelley and author of A Vindication of the Rights of Women. Mary Wollstonecraft led a life just as tumultuous as her daughter, but produced just as incredible work.

Two weeks before the Whites' trip to the Pacific Northwest, Edie receives a message from a close maternal match (estimated first or second cousin) named John Lukas, in Northwest Indiana. Edie knows they are related through his paternal grandmother, Mary, and that most of her numerous descendants remained in the Hoosier State. An exchange of several daily messages yields no clue how one of them made it down to Louisiana by 1970.   As the departure date for Washington State draws closer, so do Edie, Justin, and Rachel. Two days before her flight to SEA-TAC, John Hart emails Edie, "There is a high probability that Debbie/Deborah Abrams is your birth mother." Justin replies that he's never heard their father mention that name before.   Get your signed edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery at LittleGirlBook.com.

It was the first time I'd been to the USA by myself. I was there for the Social Media Marketing World event and I'd also just invested in five strategy sessions with this highly regarded media buyer and Facebook ads expert. I was at a time in my career when I was working with some larger accounts and I just needed that extra confidence to go, ‘what have I got to look for here?' My brilliant guest on this episode of Online Confidential is Andrea Vahl. Back when I was learning the ropes of ads management (I don't think that ever stops!) Andrea coached me in those strategy sessions. I will always appreciate the time and the attention to detail that she took with me on those calls.   It's a real privilege to share this episode with you. Here's what we peeled the layers on, ~ How her Grandma Mary videos led to a book deal ~ Lead forms and what's working now ~ Retargeting strategies after iOS14 ~ Owning your journey and being true to your lifestyle goals   And much more!

Grandma Mary, a pseudonym, got AIDS from a blood transfusion in 1984. Her friend, a nurse, wanted to lift Grandma Mary's spirits, so the Bismarck Tribune ran a story about her, and gave a post office box address for people to write her. On this date in 1990 the Bismarck Tribune reported that Grandma Mary had received 300 letters. Mary said, “I was amazed. It was overwhelming. It was a surprising, amazing thing to happen to me.”

Revival War Machine : When Revival ComesSeptember 19, 2021 • Pastor Mark Cowart • Hosea 10:12–13, Matthew 5:37, Hebrews 7:25https://tinyurl.com/cfansep192021My family and I were visiting Grandma Mary's church and had a chance to meet some great people and hear a rock solid message from Pastor Mark.

In June 2020, Mary Jo Laupp posted a short video on TikTok instructing her 1,002 followers to reserve tickets under fake email addresses to a campaign rally for President Donald Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The video went viral and the 19,000-seat arena attracted a mere 6,200 to the event, which was held during the coronavirus pandemic. In this interview, Mary Jo reflects on her journey with social media, which began on MySpace as way to ensure her then 13-year-old daughter stayed safe on the platform. A high school musical director and accompanist in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Mary Jo shares how so she learned about TikTok, why she got on it, and what she finds appealing. The mother and grandmother also talks about how her use of the platform has compelled others, including people 55+, to begin exploring it and provides her thoughts on how TikTok can be more inviting to older adults.View PDF TranscriptIf you have a unique story involving helping an older adult with technology or if you are an older adult who learned a tech-related skill from someone younger, share your story by recording a short voice memo on your phone.

The biggest progress of Green Building is that more people recognize the value of green building; and the biggest challenge is it's not enough people yet. Mary Love is the Broker-In-Charge for her real estate company, Love The Green, as well as her property management company, Town Mountain Properties. She is also President of Mary Love Consulting Firm.  With a long list of qualifications, Mary has been inspiring, training and teaching for over thirty years, and is affectionately called, the “Grandmother of Green.”  She presents facts and detailed information with a sense of humor and great passion.  Mary’s love for nature and humanity has guided her to be one of the top presenters in the Green Building Industry.  Mary believes that individual actions create massive change when done with purpose and intend.  Her motto is, “A little bit of something is a whole lot better than nothing.”  Mary sees the world as one big Green Project and her passion is helping everyone understand how we are all connected. Here are the talking points: What was it like 30 years ago to be talking about “green homes”?I imagine things are quite different now compared to back then.  In your observation, what is the biggest progress in the business of green homes and what is still the biggest challenge in your  work?What do you think is the most effective term to use to describe the homes you and I are promoting?  “Green,” “eco,” “healthy,” and/or “high performance.”?What is your advice for me to reach more of the right people who would be more receptive of the idea of “green,” “healthy,” or “high performance” homes?   

The very first place we learn about how to treat other people is our family of origin, and I am very fortunate to have a beautiful and loving family. This week on the podcast, we hear from my Grandma Mary. This is my mom’s mom and I have been told that she, my mother, and I have similar sounding voices - what do you think? Grandma Mary was a Depression-era baby, and her parents were Italian immigrants. This means two things: 1. She can make a killer baked macaroni and 2. She knows how to scrimp and save every penny and crumb to make a delicious meal. This week she talked with me about the importance of using fresh, organic ingredients, something she was doing long before it was cool. We talked about her parents, who were from Rivisondoli, a small mountain town in the Abruzzo region (remember what Shari told us about that?). Grandma has fond memories of delicious food, singing Italian songs, and the integral role of the church in her community. We talked through some of her classic recipes, and the joy that sharing a meal with friends and family brings. “A good meal with good friends - it’s almost a sacred thing, really.” Grandma was raised in northeast Ohio in the “Italian Ghetto” as she calls it. She was married at 19, and she had to grow up fast because she went on to have four children. Grandma is an incredibly talented artist, and she is also extremely intuitive when it comes to relationships with people. She is also tough as nails. In thi episode she shared advice about growing one’s own food, cooking meals with simple ingredients (including her delectable meatballs and sauce), and the importance of getting back to the basics of home and family during COVID.

Kaeley Pruitt-Hamm of The Canary Collective Podcast goes into themes behind her song "One Sided Glass" with her grandmother, Mary Magaret Pruitt. Mary Margaret is a retired nurse and social justice activist. They discuss healing and grieving after a death in the family and tell a hard-to-believe story about Kaeley's interaction with a psychic medium who claimed she had a message from Kaeley's great grandmother, Mary Margaret's mother, who dealt with similar chronic illness and barriers to healthcare as Kaeley has been dealing with as a canary in a world with rising difficult-to-diagnose disease. This interview was conducted in May 2020 between Kaeley's location in Joshua Tree and Mary Margaret's location in Seattle.

So you're getting together with relatives and Grandma Mary or Uncle Bob always expects a hug. But your kids don't want to give them a hug. Which begs the question: to force or coerce your kids to hug people they don't want to hug, or not? Jessica, Jeremy, and Lavinia discuss how to navigate this tricky territory in a candid and unscripted part of a longer podcast on how to improve communication with your kids (check it out here). In spite of the abrupt ending (because it was unscripted), it's still a good conversation that isn't just about hugging - it's about allowing kids, and adults, to have and to hold personal boundaries.

How a Book Deal Launched the Career of a Blogger We’re kicking off our Blogging Breakthroughs series, where a variety of bloggers share their stories of breakthroughs they’ve experienced over the years with their blogs. We received submissions from numerous bloggers. And today I want to introduce you to Andrea Vahl. When Andrea started getting into social media, she realized nobody was teaching it in an entertaining way. So she invented a character: 'Grandma Mary: Social Media Edutainer'. She'd even show up at events as Grandma Mary – a great way to stand out! Here's Grandma Mary and myself at an event several years ago. Andrea is also the co-author of Facebook Marketing All-in-One for Dummies and a public speaker. She was a presenter at last year’s Success Incubator event. In her blogging breakthrough story, she describes how she started her blog in 2009 and how she got her book deal. She also shares some good blogging tips: Start experimenting with monetization early on Be open to where your blog may take you, and stay open to possibilities/opportunities Show up consistently and participate Network: Be well connected and relational, even if you have to wear a costume Her first eBooks may not have sold many copies, but they got the attention of a publisher. So she created more eBooks that were profitable, and created opportunities for her to speak, consult and teach. Much of what Andrea does today started as a simple blog. She pushed herself out of her comfort zone to do some great things.

I actually asked Andrea to submit her story while we went through all the other submissions. Now, Andrea is someone I met many years ago now at a blogging conference, I think it was in Las Vegas of all places, but at the time of meeting her, she wasn't actually Andrea Vahl, she was Grandma Mary, which is a strange one, and I was a little bit freaked out when I first met her because she was obviously someone dressed up in costume.
