Patrons will hear about her brood of animals on her hobby farm. Until Our Time Comes by Nicole MillerAmerican horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn. Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other. Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M.

There is something so fun and sweet about introducing you to debut authors. That first book is such a precious and risky gift to the world. Today Nicole Miller is joining me on this episode of Book Talk. It was such fun to talk about her novel Until Our Time Comes, which is set in Poland during WWII. Nicole has long loved horses, so it isn't surprising that horses play a large role in this novel. She's also loved digging into bloodlines and wondered how to go about making an Arabian ugly. Research was a huge part of Until Our Time Comes. Not only as she researched the horses, but also as she tried to figure out how to get an American woman to Poland as the war was racing toward the country. Then there were all the questions about locations and boundary lines that changed over and over in that part of the world before, during, and after the war. Her joy in the process is so clear...It didn't feel like she really had a publishing contract until the novel appeared on Goodreads though. You're going to love meeting Nicole and learning more about Until Our Time Comes. I can't wait to hear what you think! Connect with Nicole Miller Facebook | Instagram

This week's interview is with a muralist/surfboard artist who is living the RV lifestyle, artist Nicole Miller. Her artwork is solid, and her marketing efforts are on point, so it's no wonder Nicole is making a great living as an artist even though she's traveling around every couple of years to a new location. Yep, she's starting over every time she and her husband (and 2 dogs) change locations, which means her clientele starts over. How does she do it? By going out and meeting people in person through live painting (mostly). She doesn't stay within the walls of her studio, or in her case an RV or rented storage unit. She goes out into the world and boldly creates in public. How about, instead of creating art in the safety of your art space today, you take it outside? If the weather isn't cooperating then take it into an indoor public space. Or message an event center about live painting at their next shindig. Or go live online while you paint! Anything to get you out and about, because you have to be creating anyway. Why not create with an audience? Listen to this interview to hear how Nicole is doing it and I bet her results will talk you into it. Let me know what you think of this week's episode with Nicole Miller.

It's summer dress season! Are you ready? Your favorite personal stylist Holly Katz is back this week with what o wear this summer for our fashion besties over 40 – and we mean – wayyyy over 40!     First and foremost, let's go back to Holly's #1 Fashion Rule:   Shop for Fit. Not for Price.     When you shop for price, you can run into the danger of sacrificing fit for price, which is a huge fashion crime. #howboutno   Thank you to our faithful listeners and followers for asking Holly about summer dresses (and summer festival wear).  The options for summer dresses are completely endless, but Holly has picked some that she has been wearing herself, that are comfortable yet stylish.    Let's talk about body issues, as summer weather begs for less clothing which may expose areas you may not be comfortable having on display. Some of our listeners tell us they are worried about showing their arms and/or legs. Other listeners have tummy issues.  #TAKEANUMBER   Summer-weight clothing simply lends itself to exposing these areas, so it's best to have a game plan if you are worried about showing off some of your body parts.     HOT TIP:  No one sees your body as critically as you do. Your arms and legs ARE JUST FINE!  There are solutions for blemishes, veins, and whatever else you are overly critical of.  Don't give up too easily!  Ever heard of DermaBlend? It's make-up for those places on your body you may want to cover or hide.  It's a miracle product.   So, if you have veins on your shins, or varicose veins or spider veins, it's okay. You can get a dress that's at the knee, or below. And use the DermaBlend. It's not that serious. You will thank me later.     As for hiding the tops of your arms that may not be in perfect shape, no one is asking you to go totally sleeveless or wear a strapless top. You CAN find short sleeves or a flutter sleeve that offer a bit more coverage. There is no reason to schvitz in 90 degree weather. Your arms don't need to be the most favorite part of your body. Work around them!    “When you let your body issues come before your style, then we've got a real problem, then you're stuck, you get stuck. So let's get you unstuck.” - Holly Katz, Personal Stylist   SUMMER-WEIGHT RUNNING AROUND DRESSES:  If you're running errands, playing chauffeur or hanging in your own backyard outside something obviously more casual and less expensive is the way to go here.     Brands Holly Loves:    Nicole Miller (friend of the podcast) Ramy Brook  Rails  Poupette NYC  Marissa Webb  Dress the Population    They have a ton of selections that are great for activities. Also, when you have a dress that you end up wearing, for like around the house activities are chores, these are things that are usually too casual for a night out that you can demote them to a more casual section of your closet.     HOT TIP: Try a kimono! Wear over a tank top and jean shorts! Or over jeans. It's a great non-dress, dressy look!     THE DAY DRESS:    The next level up in dresses is a daytime dress, of course, which is considered a nicer dress, say that you would wear to a lunch, day party, baby shower, etc. Not something that you would wear just kicking around or going to carpool. Something that you would want to show off and look dressed and put together.    Hot TIP: Remember, just because you're dressed, it does not mean you are dressed up - you're just dressed. Also, you need to have a bag and shoes, you cannot carry your everyday tote bag or shopping bag.  #UMNO   Don't forget about dress codes: a day dress is lightweight. It can be cute and dressy, but it is for daytime. Evening dresses are heavier weight, or embellished, or made from finer fabrics.    SPECIAL EVENT DRESSES:    Now, if you don't have a variety of dresses to choose from the minute you get invited to something fun, you feel unprepared and you panic and run out and then you get something new, grasping at straws, hoping that you made the right choice. Take the time to BUILD YOUR WARDROBE over time when you can find dresses for fit, not occasion and certainly not for price.   So this is why building and elevating your style is so important.      Brands Holly Loves:    AMUR  Meg  Derek Lamb 10 Crosby  Jason Wu  Rosetta Getty  MILLY  Frame  Ba&sh    HOT TIP: If you find a dress style or brand you love, and it doesn't fit well, don't forget you can have items altered. Don't pass up on a quality dress or fit, just because it is too long or not fitted in the areas you need. Most dry cleaners or tailors can make quick fixes that are game changers!    EVENING DRESSES:    If you have an evening dress that you wore 20 years ago, it needs to go. #sorrynotsorry They will and do go out of style. Even it is black-it's irrelevant.  Black tie dresses don't last forever. And if you keep something for that long, that means it's life in the spotlight is probably over. It's okay. It had a great life.   Brands Holly Loves:    Sara Roka  Alexander McQueen  Naeem Khan  Pamella Roland  Markarian  Chiani Boni  Rickie Freeman for Teri John  Lela Rose  Kika Vargas    Special occasion dresses are an investment. Period. End of statement. So plan for that. You don't buy them often. So go for quality over quantity.   PS:  Do not forget to go to Holly's Pinterest Board for more summer dress ideas and links to purchase. Check out our youtube channel! We cute, we cute.   Be sure to listen for all our FASHION BESTIE Shout-Outs this week – because there are a TON!    Don't forget to submit your fashion questions to Holly on our social, and we may just pick your topic for our next episode!     Listen, love, follow, share and subscribe to our FREE PODCAST!

Having access to outdoor spaces at school is great for play at break and lunchtimes, but it also opens up a whole host of curriculum-linked learning possibilities that extend beyond PE lessons. A new study by researchers at the University of South Australia has found that primary schools may not be making the most of the outdoor areas they have when it comes to curriculum delivery. The study acknowledges that schools and teachers are juggling multiple priorities, with possible barriers including a crowded curriculum and a lack of teacher training or confidence in this area. Dr Nicole Miller, Online Course Facilitator at UniSA Online, joins us in today's episode to discuss the research findings, which have just been published in the journal Children, Youth and Environments. We also chat about the different types of outdoor play and learning spaces, and the benefits for students and teachers. Host: Jo Earp: Guest: Dr Nicole Miller Sponsor: Teacher Jobs

[00:30] FBI Concealed Evidence in Proud Boys Trial (15 minutes) The trial of January 6 protester and Proud Boys member Ethan Nordean derailed this week after his attorney filed a motion against FBI special agent Nicole Miller. Miller actively concealed internal chat documents relating to the case, including one message that talked about destroying evidence. The “deep state” and propaganda media favor censorship and obscuring truth when it doesn't match their narrative. [15:15] Biden's Benghazi (14 minutes) At a House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing, U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews testified regarding the Kabul airport suicide bombing during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The marines knew the attack was coming and were aware of the suicide bomber's location for hours, but they were not allowed to stop the bomber. Thirteen Americans were murdered in the attack. [32:00] ‘Walls Are Closing In' (13 minutes) In November 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration recovered nine boxes of documents from the Boston office of one of Joe Biden's lawyers. The documents had been removed from the Penn-Biden Center, but the truth about this story was kept under wraps until this week. Meanwhile, the New York Times reported Donald Trump will likely face criminal charges for the Stormy Daniels scandal, even though the case “hinges on an untested and therefore risky legal theory.” Paul Ryan insisted in another New York Times article that Trump won't get the Republican presidential nomination because he is “unelectable.” [45:30] Grouchy Fauci (10 minutes) Dr. Anthony Fauci doubled down on his COVID-19 opinions during a Fox News interview yesterday, absolving himself from responsibility and criticizing former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield for telling the truth “in a public setting.” Today's leaders are caught up in will worship, a subject discussed in Colossians 2.

JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates talk with Malyia McNaughton, founder of Made by Malyia. The self-taught jewelry designer and Black in Jewelry Coalition board member is proof that trusting your gut can be the key to creative success. When Malyia couldn't find the jewelry she wanted, she designed her own—and wore it. Demand for her designs inspired her to launch her brand and has made her a rising star whose looks have been worn by Lizzo and other celebrities.Sponsored by De Beers: diamondeducation.debeers.comShow Notes1:53 From body chain to brand launch5:09 Expanding organically8:04 Turning obstacles into opportunities10:53 Finding creative inspiration13:57 High-profile partnerships17:58 In the spotlight on SNL20:51 The Black in Jewelry Coalition: making a difference23:52 Tips for aspiring designersEpisode CreditsHosts: Rob Bates and Victoria GomelskyProducer and engineer: Natalie ChometPlugs: jckonline.com; @jckmagazine; madebymalyia.com; diamondeducation.debeers.com [Use promo code JCKPRO_15 at checkout for 15% off workshops.]Show RecapFrom body chain to brand launchVictoria introduces Brooklyn-based designer Malyia McNaughton, founder of Made by Malyia, and asks how she started creating jewelry. The daughter of Jamaican immigrants was born in the Bronx, raised in Florida, and attended Florida State University, where she studied fashion merchandising and product development. After graduating, she moved back to New York to pursue a career in fashion, starting in sales and product development for Nicole Miller and eventually designing for another fashion brand.In 2014, Malyia had tickets to a music festival in Philadelphia. She wanted to make a statement by wearing a body chain but couldn't find the right piece. Undeterred, she sourced materials and designed her own. Little did she dream she was making her first item of jewelry. “I got stopped by so many people asking me where I'd gotten it,” Malyia recalls. “After the fifth or sixth person, my friends said, ‘You might be onto something.' We went to lunch, and they helped me come up with the name Made by Malyia.' It was one of those Oprah aha moments.”Expanding organicallyAfter months of trial and error, Malyia developed a body chain she felt was ready to put on Etsy. To her delight, orders poured in. Still, she viewed Made by Malyia as a creative outlet, not a business. Gradually she added products based on buyers' feedback. When a client asked if she could make a temporary nose ring, Malyia branched into nonpermanent nose and body jewelry. Next someone asked for a ring. “It started to expand very organically,” she says. Eventually, growing demand persuaded her to build a collection and a website.“Etsy was a great launching pad,” she says. “I credit my customers [there] for amplifying my voice and bringing me to market.” Though she has moved away from the platform, she hopes to do another Etsy-specific collection.Turning obstacles into opportunitiesRob asks what challenges Malyia faced as a newcomer to the industry. She points out that the jewelry business is famously generational. While those family bonds are admirable and she hopes to build her own legacy, they have a downside: They create a major entry barrier for self-taught designers of color and anyone else who lacks personal connections.Malyia turned the disadvantage into an advantage. As a newcomer, she felt less pressure to put out product than established insiders might. This freed her up to focus intensely on design. She is very intentional in the projects she takes on, releasing small, effective capsule collections that will sell through.Finding creative inspirationMalyia has said her work celebrates the intersection of art, nature, and culture. Victoria wonders how this translates into her creative process. The designer starts by placing raw materials in her workspace and spending a week surrounded by them. She also immerses herself in nature, drawing particular inspiration from the movement of water. Sometimes weeks go by before an idea strikes her—then ideas come fast and furious, and she finds herself making 100 sketches in a row. Her rough sketches go up on the wall, where she can study and tweak them. Next she engineers her designs to ensure they're structurally sound before sending them to her CAD designer to see what they look like in 3D. “It's a pretty unique process, but I've learned to embrace it,” she says.On her inspiration board, Malyia keeps an old magazine article about Monique Péan that she clipped when Made by Malyia was taking root. “She really is a trailblazer,” says Malyia. Other role models include Sheryl Jones, “a phenomenal designer” and personal mentor, as well as Elsa Peretti. She feels a kinship with the late Peretti because, like Malyia, the designer saw herself as an artist.High-profile partnershipsVictoria points out that Malyia has done quite a few well-publicized collaborations despite being relatively new to the industry and asks how these came about.In 2021 the Natural Diamond Council launched an emerging designer initiative. Eager to explore the fine jewelry space, Malyia applied. She not only got accepted, she impressed the council enough with her sketches that they commissioned her to design an 11-piece collection as part of a global ad campaign featuring actor Ana de Armas. “I was ecstatic because, if I do say so myself, it was a hit,” says Malyia.That success led to other opportunities, including partnering with nationwide chain Banter by Piercing Pagoda and its creative director, Grammy-nominated rapper, songwriter, and artist Tierra Whack. “I'm a huge fan,” says Malyia. Being entrusted to execute Whack's creative vision was an honor. So was revisiting her roots with a trip to a Banter store in the Bronx. “I brought my nieces, my nephews, my sister,” Malyia recalls. “It was such an amazing experience to walk into the mall and to see…pieces that I was responsible for designing. If I've had an Oscar moment, that was it.”In the SNL spotlightMalyia enjoyed another star moment recently when Lizzo wore her earrings on Saturday Night Live. Rob asks for the backstory. A stylist contacted Malyia and asked to borrow a pair of her Wave Hoop earrings with channel-set baguettes but refused to name the event or the celebrity she was dressing until the day the episode taped. “I was in disbelief when it came on the screen,” says Malyia. “To have one of the biggest stars of our time wear my earrings on SNL, I don't know if I can top that.”Celebrity placement is influential, especially for a smaller brand like Malyia's, she says, because it piques the interest of the public and the media. Reposting the coverage brings people to her site, which translates into sales and visibility.BIJC: making a differenceIn the wake of George Floyd's murder during the 2020 pandemic, Malyia was working from home when fellow Black jewelry professional Elyssa Jenkins-Pérez reached out with a timely question: Would Malyia join a conversation about how the industry could help move the Black community forward? “I immediately said yes,” she remembers. Soon, she, Jenkins-Pérez, and others who shared their concerns were brainstorming strategies. They formalized their efforts by founding the Black in Jewelry Coalition (BIJC) and assembling a nine-member board that represents all aspects of the business. “We've been on calls once a week for about two hours for the last two years,” says Malyia. “It's been phenomenal work.” BIJC has collaborated with industry organizations on initiatives to help advance Black professionals in gems and jewelry, partnering with New York City Jewelry Week on an event last year. Plans are also in the works to have a BIJC presence at the JCK show in June.Tips for aspiring designersFor younger creatives hoping to follow in her footsteps, Malyia offers these words of wisdom: Trust your instincts. She credits her intuition with guiding her from the initial decision to make and market a body chain to her current thriving career. “I just trusted that what I was creating was worth sharing. Don't wait to have it all figured out. Go for it. You never know where you can end up.”
