Nestled on Main Street in Woodstock, Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery radiates the cozy, community-centric charm that so many small towns crave. During this Tourism Tuesday episode on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael, Shenandoah County Tourism's Kary Haun, and owner Kara Balcerzak dive into how a lifelong love of books—and a desire to combat modern loneliness—became one of the county's newest gathering places. A Dream Shelved—Then Finally Opened Kara, a self-described lifelong reader and third-generation librarian, relocated to Woodstock in 2019. Although she always fantasized about owning a bookstore, she didn't initially know how to launch a business. However, after participating in a local leadership program, she discovered a network of small-business support. Encouraged and equipped, she went for it. Her leap of faith resulted in Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery, which opened on June 6 and was immediately embraced by the local community. The location on Main Street, she says, has only added to its warm, inviting personality. More Than Books: A Store Built on Connection While Bonfire carries a beautifully curated selection of fiction, nonfiction, local history, and children's titles, it offers much more than traditional bookstore staples. Kara intentionally stocks puzzles, games, gifts, craft kits, and an impressive selection of yarn, all chosen with a shared mission: helping people rediscover offline joy and authentic connection. She explains that the lingering effects of COVID, paired with the omnipresence of social media, have made people lonelier than ever. "So many people want to get off their phones and do something with their hands," she notes. Yarn enthusiasts, knitters, crocheters, and crafters visit regularly—and Kara even teaches classes in-store thanks to the building's generous space. Why Yarn Belongs in a Bookstore Yarn may seem like an unexpected addition to a bookstore, but Kara makes it feel natural. She has been knitting and crocheting for over 20 years, and she quickly discovered that readers and stitchers share similar "cozy hobby" energy. Moreover, diversifying her inventory helps the shop remain sustainable in an era dominated by online megaretailers. The yarn department has since become one of the store's most vibrant community-building features, complete with beginner classes launching again in January. A Community Space, Not Just a Retail Shop Walking into Bonfire feels less like visiting a shop and more like entering a living room. Plush chairs, a welcoming sofa, a whimsically decorated fireplace, and a children's reading nook encourage visitors to linger. Kara laughs as she recounts advice from a fellow bookstore owner who warned her against offering comfortable seating—"You don't want readers; you want buyers." But Kara had a different vision. In her mind, Woodstock needs more places for people to gather, chat, read, knit, drink tea, or simply exist without pressure to spend money. She even offers a self-serve hot beverage bar where less than two dollars for a cup of tea can also buy hours of community bonding. Holiday Happenings & Gift Ideas Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery shines especially bright during the holiday season. Kara shares several upcoming festive events: Story Time with Santa – December 20, 11 AM–12 PM Christmas Carol Sing-Along – December 21, 12:30–2 PM with local musician Angie Vann Stocking Stuffers, Local Artisan Gifts & Specialty Items – including gardening tools, planters, puzzles, locally curated reads, and yarn-lover favorites Gift Certificates Available Janet and Kary rave about the store's wide variety—everything from nonfiction to crossword books to local history, and even pizza-herb planters inspired by popular garden titles. Shopping Local in the Age of Online Giants While Bonfire doesn't yet sell merchandise directly through its website, Kara partners with Bookshop.org and Libro.fm, ensuring customers can order books and audiobooks online while still supporting an independent store. She can also special-order nearly any book in print and typically receives orders within a week to ten days. A Magical Setting for Conversation and Community As Janet and Kary continue their Tourism Tuesday tour, they settle deeper into Bonfire's cozy atmosphere—so much so that Janet jokes Kara may eventually need to kick them out. The store inspires nostalgia, curiosity, and warmth. With its children's wardrobe-themed reading nook, eclectic shelves, and handmade touches, Bonfire feels not just magical, but meaningful. It's the kind of place where time slows down, conversations come easily, and community naturally forms—exactly the vision Kara hoped for when she opened the doors. Where Stories—and Community—Come Alive Bonfire Bookstore succeeds not just because it sells books, puzzles, and yarn, but because it taps into something essential: the deep human need for connection. Kara built a place where neighbors meet, creativity flourishes, and people rediscover joy in unplugging—even for just an hour. In a world that often feels rushed and digital, Bonfire reminds us that the most magical spaces are the ones where people simply gather. A Hub for Holiday Spirit Throughout Shenandoah County After the bookstore conversation, the episode shifts to holiday happenings across the valley. Kary and Brittany Clem-Hott share a dazzling list of parades, tree lightings, markets, open houses, and theatrical productions—including Theatre Shenandoah's first-ever performance of "A Christmas Story." Meanwhile, listeners learn about dazzling new events like Christmas at the Celebration at American Celebration on Parade, multiple town-wide festive weekends, studio open houses, cookie crawls, drive-through light shows, and more.

In this episode, I respond to Dovi's question about an older child whose session became dysregulated when his dad joined the playroom. I explain why parent presence fundamentally disrupts the CCPT process, breaks the therapeutic dyad, and immediately alters safety, consistency, and the child's ability to do meaningful work. Even when a child demands that a parent come in, that demand is almost never about the parent's actual presence — it's a power grab driven by internal dysregulation, and it requires a reflective response paired with a clear limit. I walk through how the child's behavior — making demands, using items without permission, disregarding boundaries, and eventually dumping water — all reflected a spiraling need for power and control once the playroom dynamic was fractured. I also highlight why maintaining strict adherence to the model is essential for preserving the therapeutic relationship, the environment, and the child's sense of safety. This episode reinforces that it's our responsibility to protect the integrity of CCPT, set limits with parents and children, and ensure that the playroom remains a sacred space where healing can actually take place.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the political implications of Prime Minister Mark Carney's pipeline deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. They debate whether Carney's leadership represents a fundamental shift in Liberal politics or simply a "new personality cult" in light of his reversal of various Trudeau-era policies. They also cover what his centre-right positioning on different issues is a challenge for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives. In the second half, they explore the complex conditions embedded in the Carney-Smith pipeline agreement, including whether a private sector proponent will step forward and and industrial carbon pricing's future impact on Canadian competitiveness.

In this episode, Matt interviews Karen Restoule on the challenge of Indigenous reconciliation in Canada. Restoule stresses that true reconciliation must begin by re-embracing the vision of coexistence enshrined in early agreements such as the Treaty of Niagara — a relationship based on mutual respect and shared sovereignty — and not merely through state apologies or symbolic gestures.

In this special episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I address what I believe is one of the most unrecognized threats to effective play therapy: high attrition and the lack of natural termination. After years of speaking with therapists around the world, I've realized how few children actually complete the full therapeutic process, and how often families quietly pull their child long before meaningful change has taken place. I walk through why this is happening, why it is so damaging to children and to our field, and why the responsibility falls on us as child-centered play therapists to fix it. I explain the four clear termination criteria—two clinical and two environmental—that allow us to confidently determine when a child is truly ready to end therapy. I also highlight why tracking data, understanding averages, measuring longevity, and defining success matter so much, especially when most therapists have no system in place to understand their own attrition patterns. Without numbers, structure, and transparent communication, parents lose confidence long before progress becomes visible. Finally, I share the exact processes and communication strategies that keep parents engaged for the full arc of treatment. From clear articulation at the first meeting to five-week consultation rhythms, expectation-setting, and preparing parents for resistance, we can dramatically reduce premature termination. Natural termination should be the norm—not the exception—and when we commit to systems that support this, children complete their therapeutic journey, parents experience the true value of CCPT, and our model remains strong, respected, and effective.

What if the real challenge of Black Friday isn’t the crowds, the countdown timers, or the deals—but the quiet pressure shaping the way we think about money? In this Thanksgiving episode, John invites us to pause, renew our minds, and approach the shopping season with wisdom, peace, and a Christ-formed mindset. Through personal stories, scripture, and practical tools, he helps us recognize how consumer culture tries to conform us—and how a transformed heart can lead to faithful, joyful stewardship. In this episode, John discusses:  Why Black Friday can subtly reshape our thinking and test our financial mindset How Romans 12:2 calls us to resist cultural pressure and embrace a renewed mind His lifelong lessons of value and quality that shaped wise decision-making Three simple questions that help us shop with intention, clarity, and peace Key Takeaways: Black Friday can stir urgency and pressure, pulling us toward choices that aren’t always wise or grounded. A healthy money mindset holds both value and quality together—lessons shaped by family, faith, and a desire to live with intention. Wisdom in spending begins with simple questions: Is this wise? Is this planned? Will it last? When we stay mindful and rooted in truth—not swayed by marketing or hype—we practice faithful stewardship and step into a deeper sense of peace. “We want to be transformed, not conformed, we want to be anchored, not pressured, and we want to be discerning rather than drifting.” - LINK TO WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE: https://www.wsj.com/economy/consumers/will-trumps-trade-war-break-americas-addiction-to-cheap-stuff-ff21df9e?mod=panda_wsj_section_alert&mod=djemLifeStyle_h   CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, I'm excited to share a conversation with Heidi about a major shift in women's health. For years, many of us have been held back by fear and misinformation around hormones, and it's time to flip the script. We dive into why this change matters, how it impacts our vitality, strength, and longevity, and the steps we can take to support our bodies at every stage of life.Key Highlights:Why the “black box warning” held women back for decades.The real reason so many of us still flinch at the word “estrogen.”Why muscle and bone health are more connected to hormones than age.What happens when you start hormone support “all at once”, and why less can be more effective.How to start a hormone replacement journey safely and effectively.Patch versus cream: When each delivery method truly shines.Why gut health isn't just “bonus points”, it's the gatekeeper for how well your body uses any hormone.A simple, non-negotiable sign your gut needs attention, even if you feel “fine.”How to shift your mindset, not just your prescriptions, to reclaim vitality, not just survive midlife.Key Takeaways:“If you're not pooping regularly daily, your gut is not healthy… If you're going back and forth between constipation and diarrhea… you need gut support. It is just that critical and that essential.” -Kellie Lupsha"80% of our hormones are made in our gut. If we have leaky gut... the production of good, solid, awesome hormones is just not going to happen." -Dr. Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

Our guest is Teri Dupuy-Gore, Executive Director of Hub Lafayette Urban Ministries, a Christ-centered outreach serving our neighbors experiencing homelessness, chronic poverty, hunger, and difficult life transitions. Teri shares how The Hub and its Lovewell Center at 1515 W. University Avenue in Lafayette, create a place to be present in our community and love people right where they are, offering not only practical resources but dignity, relationship, and restored hope. The Lovewell Center: Eat Well, Dress Well, Style Well, Smell Well Teri explains that Hub Lafayette Urban Ministries “actually unifies two separate ministries,” and that this conversation focuses on The Lovewell Center at 1515 W. University Within the Lovewell, members access four resource “stores”: Eat Well – “kind of like a Walmart where you can get toothpaste, toilet paper, nonperishable canned goods, things of that nature… like a mini Walmart.” Dress Well – gently-used men's and women's clothing: “belts, shoes, pants, coats… new socks and new underwear… gently used backpacks.” Style Well – “where you get your hair cut by a licensed beautician or barber.” Smell Well – “our six stackable commercial washers and dryers so you can wash your clothes.” All of these resources are available to members of the Lovewell Center. Membership & the Points System: “A hand up, not a hand out” Becoming a member is intentionally simple: “To be a member, you simply have to walk in and say, hey, I want to be a member. There's no criteria.” When someone joins, the team takes basic information: name, phone number (if they have one), address (or notes if they're living on the streets), and next of kin — “because we want to become your family… we want to be your family anyway.” New members “automatically get 20 points for just joining us.” The Lovewell uses a points system instead of cash so people can actively participate in their own progress: “You earn points by taking classes because we believe in healing and helping yourself… or you'd bring us your check stub from a job that you have now.” Teri explains that this model is particularly powerful “for people who are struggling in chronic poverty, because we can help you offset the cost of everyday life without using money, but using points… you get to make decisions.” Members can choose to “earn points and store them up, or earn points and spend them,” and that freedom is central to their approach: “We instill dignity and value in you… it's a beautiful, beautiful opportunity for us to be able to be present in our community and love people right where they are.” Classes that Heal Broken Relationships At the heart of Lovewell are the classes that help people earn points and, more importantly, work toward inner healing: “Our classes are geared around broken relationships that we feel everyone has or will have — a broken relationship with God, a broken relationship with yourself, a broken relationship with others, or a broken relationship with creation. So our classes are all geared around healing in those areas.” Classes typically run for eight weeks and meet for one hour, once a week. Facilitators are often people who have personally wrestled with the same issues they're teaching about: “I may overcome something and say, I would love to teach this class… using the experiences that I have and the healing that I've received… and share that with others. Giving them hope.” Communication classes are a key example: “For some of our members… it's very natural to have a confrontational conversation. It's not natural to scale that down to where it is speaking truth with grace. It's usually just truth in your face.” The goal is to help everyone “have a voice and be heard” in “a polite and generous way.” Teri calls these classes “really the heart of the Lovewell Center” and “the heart of the mission of The Hub.” She sums up their mission this way: “Our mission statement is, “We're on a mission to offer everyone in our city access to restored life. And we believe in what we call the four R's: Rescue, Relationships, Resources and Recovery.” Community Meals & Daily Presence The Lovewell Center is open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the yard open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:35 p.m. For neighbors experiencing homelessness, it's a safe place simply to belong: “If our friends experiencing homelessness need a place to go, they come and hang out with us, because they are wanted and belong.” Every Tuesday night a community meal is offerred “Every Tuesday night we have community meal, which means we all get together and eat dinner together. Anyone in the community is invited… We start at 6:00 and we're usually finished by 7:15–7:30 p.m.” From 6:00–6:25 p.m., there are large-group activities — bingo, class time, or worship — and if you participate in those events as big group events, you earn ten points for that.” Teri shares that on Tuesday nights they see 125–150 people, and during the day they have “90 to 100 people every day” coming through for services, community, and support. Philosophy: “A hand up, not a hand out” Teri is deeply intentional about not harming the people they serve: “The core of the program is about empowering people through relationships to see themselves the way Christ sees them and to empower them to be all that God has called them to be.” She speaks candidly about common pitfalls in helping: “In a world of ministry where we all feel called to give, at some point giving hurts. We then take from the person and we steal their dignity and their value because we want to do for them what they can do for themselves.” That's why she describes The Hub's posture as, “We are a hand up, not a hand out. We are not there to be sympathetic, we are there to be empathetic. We want to sit in it with you and encourage you and remind you that you're not alone.” How You Can Help Hub Lafayette Urban Ministries is 100% funded by donations by individuals, churches, grants, and in-kind gifts. Teri says: “Money is always welcome. It keeps the lights on. It keeps the coffee in the pots. It allows us to keep food on the shelves.” They also always need physical donations, especially: Canned soups and “top-protein” items Easy-open foods like beanie-weenies, tuna, pocket snacks Toilet paper and full-size toothpaste New men's and women's underwear (“men's underwear… tagless colored brief boxers or they don't leave the shelf”) Meals for Tuesday night community dinners and Wednesday morning breakfasts are donated and served by volunteers, including local partners and cooks like Kent Zerangue, who prepares “the most fabulous meal ever from homemade ice cream… and shrimp stew.” Teri emphasizes that everyone can do something: “Not everyone has the capacity to donate money. Not everyone has the capacity to donate their time… But everyone has the capacity to pray. Everyone has the capacity to pass on the word.” For more information on donating, volunteering, providing meals, or inviting Teri to speak, listeners can visit Hub Lafayette Urban Ministries at https://www.hublafayette.org/or connect via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thehuburbanministrieslafayette or their Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/thehublafayette/?hl=en
