Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fortune, Barrons, HGTV Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life's highest calling.Today, Frank's life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist he has created and sold 44 oceanfront mansions on spec, with an average price of $14 million. Frank recently announced he was un-retiring and coming back to create more real estate artistry! See two short films that were just made about Frank's exciting comeback!As a philanthro-capitalist, Frank has built 30 self-sustaining villages over the last 20 years in Haiti, providing 13,600+ children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves.A best-selling author, actor, and keynote speaker, Frank has written seven books in six genres, with the title, premise and cover for his 8th book in his 7th genre being revealed at an exciting stunt Frank will perform on Friday the 13th of January, 2023! Frank has starred in four movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world.Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon 12x in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race referred to by National Geographic as “the world's toughest footrace.”As with all of his books, Frank wrote his latest bestseller Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air-conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house—that's Frank's commute to and from work!Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 32 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina.

We continue our podcast episodes on CARE (Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment) Court, a judicial place that creates a path to healing and rehabilitation for individuals suffering from untreated mental illness. A pillar of making this Court an agent for change rather than a place for punishment, is the partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH). The guests on this podcast episode, Dr. Nilsa Gallardo, Program Manager, and Felipe Andalon, Mental Health Case Worker, are staff from the department who are able to paint the picture of inspiring stories. Their dedication and expertise can bring success to those with mental illness coming before this Court. CARE Court as a new endeavor begun in December of 2023, with Nilsa the Administrator overseeing aspects of LACDMH's involvement, and Felipe working each case determined to build trust and bringing an often skeptical client toward a more hopeful life, are mental health pioneers fostering new insights and coordinated services for those with serious psychotic disorders.

This is the fourth story in a 7-part series in support of reproductive rights. On election day, Floridians will have the opportunity to vote Yes on 4 to get rid of a near-total abortion ban and reinstate the liberties under Roe v. Wade. The stories in the series were told live on stage in front of 400 people at Temple Beth Am in Miami, Florida on September 5th 2024. As the country gears up for the election on November 5, 2024, we will be sharing all seven stories one week at a time. These stories highlight what the current ban limits and excludes, and how this ban negatively impacts all women and families. We hope these stories will help you understand why keeping abortion legal (which means voting yes on amendment 4) is not only important but will also save lives. We know this sounds counter intuitive, but abortion saves lives. Click here to support Yes on 4 and please stay tuned.Today's story is by Nilsa Ada Rivera. Nilsa's story shows what someone living on the street goes through when she learns she's pregnant and wants to have a baby. In Nilsa's case, the fetus had severe health problems and Nilsa had to make the hard decision to terminate the pregnancy. Nilsa is Catholic and until recently struggled with her decision. Ultimately she believes God is the only entity that can judge her. She's been on the podcast before when she wrote about hearing loss. For more Nilsa, here's Episode 29 and Episode 107. Nilsa Ada Rivera is a housing analyst and writer. Nilsa and I have been in writing groups together for about 15 years. She is coming out with her first book in 2025 about affordable housing. You can find Nilsa Rivera on Instagram @nilsawrites and Facebook.This event was produced and created by Writing Class Radio, Rabbi Greengrass at Temple Beth Am, and 19 collaborative partners: The Women's Fund, Equal Justice Society, Cuban American Women Supporting Democracy, Men for Choice, Books and Books, Planned Parenthood, Temple Judea, Coral Gables United Church of Christ, Tikkun Olam at Temple Beth Am, Florida Women's Freedom Coalition, Women's Emergency Network, Sisterhood of Temple Beth Am, Catholics for Choice, Temple Israel, Women of Reform Judaism, RAC Florida, National Council of Jewish Women, The Workers Circle, and All Angels Episcopal Church.Writing Class Radio is hosted by Allison Langer and Andrea Askowitz.

Ela é uma talentosa cozinheira que bomba no Tik Tok – onde é seguida por mais de 1 milhão de pessoas – e virou um enorme sucesso entre todo mundo que gosta de boa comida, receitas bem-preparadas.

A 250 kilómetros al norte de París se ubica Berk sur Mer, una pequeña ciudad balnearia, bañada por el canal de la mancha. Cada abril la población de 15 mil habitantes se ve casi doblada por la llegada masiva de turistas. Llegan en tren, en carro o en bus con una idea: levantar su mirada al cielo e imaginar que vuelan con gigantes seres mitológicos y coloridos animales sostenidos por el viento. En 2024 llegaron para disfrutar de la primera edición de “The World Kite Cup”. Ya son 37 años en los que Berck sur Mer se ubica en el mapa como la capital mundial de las cometas, o de los papagayos, barriletes, papalotes, volantines o como se le nombre a este juguete muy ligado a la infancia. “Nos parecía absolutamente lógico realizar una competencia internacional de las cometas dirigibles, incluyendo todas las disciplinas del vuelo deportivo y acrobático”, explica Roman Roger, encargado de la comunicación del Mundial de Cometas Acrobáticas. La competición se compone de cinco pruebas. Cada día una categoría diferente es puntuada en individual, parejas y equipos. También el tipo de cometa cambia, si tiene dos líneas o cuatro líneas. Las líneas son los hilos que van desde la mano a la cometa. Al final se suman los puntos y se elige al campeón mundial entre las 10 selecciones participantes: Francia, Alemania, España, Inglaterra, Países Bajos, Canadá, Colombia, Estados Unidos, China y Taiwán. “Es la primera vez que se celebra en el mundo una competición de este tipo, en el que no se representa a un equipo, se representa a una nación. Es decir, aquí están los mejores cometeros del mundo bajo su bandera nacional”, dice orgulloso el también cometero francés Roger.Las condiciones climáticas para este primer mundial parecen óptimas en una playa larga, a unos 100 metros del mar cuando la marea está baja. “Es como el patinaje artístico”Existen diferentes calidades, diferentes durezas, diferentes tamaños para estas cometas acrobáticas. “Las de dos hilos casi siempre tienen una forma triangular de Delta. Es un triángulo que siempre está avanzando. Las de cuatro hilos parecen un corbatín, tiene un borde de ataque horizontal muy ancho, pueden girar, esta cometa avanza, frena y reversa con el control que le imprime el piloto con las líneas y los mandos en sus manos”, detalla el colombiano Óscar Muñoz, diseñador y fabricante de cometas. Los participantes se ubican en una zona delimitada de la playa para realizar la coreografía de unos tres minutos, sobre una pista musical. Volar cometas dirigibles es un deporte en el que se deben ejecutar figuras obligatorias y libres valoradas por un jurado. De los siete jueces que observan cada movimiento, hay tres encargados de evaluar la coreografía, entre ellos está la colombiana, que hoy vive en Francia, Nilsa Riveros. “Tengo que ver que realmente los movimientos de la cometa sean acorde con la música que estamos escuchando. Que haya un principio, que haya un final, que haya una historia, que haya sorpresa. Que las figuras se vean claramente. Si están haciendo un cuadrado, que se note que el cuadrado es exacto. Que haya una consecución de movimientos. Es un poco parecido a todo lo que tiene que hacer el patinador cuando hace patinaje artístico”, describe Nilsa Riveros que hace 20 años estaba en Berck sur Mer para volar su cometa en representación del equipo Bogotá 2.600, en referencia a la altitud de la capital cafetera. “Aunque dentro de la competencia quedamos penúltimo, fue un aprendizaje increíble”, recuerda. La carrera de piloto de cometas de Nilsa, es muy seguida en su país. Para este primer mundial en reunir todas las categorías, Colombia llega con una delegación de nueve cometeros. “En Colombia tenemos la CKFA, una asociación que rige estas competencias y ellos sacan una clasificatoria que permite tener los mejores en cada modalidad”, explica el competidor Michael Márquez. En Colombia existe una gran tradición cometera, es uno de los países más destacados en latinoamérica en este arte de dominar el viento, sin embargo, las condiciones de vuelo no son las mismas que las europeas, señala Michael: “Realmente es complicado por el tema del viento. Nosotros entrenamos cada fin de semana en el interior del país (Bogotá), sobre césped una zona donde el viento es muy laminar, es muy constante, es muy suave. Con vientos de 10,12 o 15 kilómetros máximo, pero acá tenemos condiciones de 30, 35, 40 kilómetros. Para nosotros es muy difícil, pero igual tienes que adaptarte a esa condición. Entonces buscas los recursos, las cometas, tratas de modificar, de adaptar y eso es lo que te permite mostrar una mejor representación”. Por su parte, los tres integrantes de la selección española, el equipo Mistral, están más adaptados a las condiciones de vuelo francés según Naty Crespo: “vivo en Bilbao, en el norte de España y más o menos es una costa parecida a esta porque llueve muchísimo y hay viento, aunque lo que vemos aquí es una maravilla”. En The World Kite Cup, su nombre original, se disfruta del arte de dominar el viento.Los cometeros concentrados en la competencia, el público con la cabeza hacia las nubes. Entre los aplausos, se escuchan halagos como: “Es muy lindo, magnífico, difícil de explicar, hay que verlo, formidable, muy poético”. Tras cinco días de competencia, Francia gana la primera edición de la Copa del Mundo de Cometas Acrobáticas. Escuche el reportaje de Ana Maria Ospina desde la ciudad de Berck sur Mer, norte de Francia. Edición de Pierre Zanutto.

Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channe...

I veckans program möter ni författaren Ann-Helén Laestadius vars roman "Straff" skildrar ett mörkt kapitel i svensk historia: De samiska nomadskolorna. Nomadskolan infördes i början av 1900-talet och var en statlig form av internatskola för barn till renskötande samer. Fram till 1962 var samerna skyldiga att skicka sina barn till dessa skolor där undervisningen skedde enbart på svenska och där eleverna under terminen bodde på elevhem. En av dem som gick på nomadskola är Ann-Helén Laestadius egen mamma, och många i hennes släkt. Sedan romanen "Straff" kom ut har hon mött många fler med samma traumatiska erfarenhet. I romanen följer vi en hel grupp barn på skolan: Else-Maj, Jon-Ante, Nilsa, Aslak, Marge och Anne-Risten. Vi följer dem genom de svåra åren på internatskolan i början på 1950-talet. Men även som vuxna, 30 år senare, då upplevelserna från skolan satt djupa spår i dem på olika sätt. Ann-Helén Laestadius romandebuterade 2007 med ungdomsromanen "SMS från Sopporo" och 2016 vann hon Augustpriset för "Tio över ett". Hennes förra roman "Stöld" ska bli film på Netflix.Skriv till oss! bokradio@sverigesradio.seProgramledare: Marie LundströmRedaktion: Andreas Magnell (producent) och Fredrik Wadström

Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fortune, Barrons, HGTV Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life's highest calling.Today, Frank's life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist he has created and sold 44 oceanfront mansions on spec, with an average price of $14 million. Frank recently announced he was un-retiring and coming back to create more real estate artistry! See two short films that were just made about Frank's exciting comeback!As a philanthro-capitalist, Frank has built 30 self-sustaining villages over the last 20 years in Haiti, providing 13,600+ children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves.A best-selling author, actor, and keynote speaker, Frank has written seven books in six genres, with the title, premise and cover for his 8th book in his 7th genre being revealed at an exciting stunt Frank will perform on Friday the 13th of January, 2023! Frank has starred in four movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world.Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon 12x in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race referred to by National Geographic as “the world's toughest footrace.”As with all of his books, Frank wrote his latest bestseller Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air-conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house—that's Frank's commute to and from work!Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 32 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their 24 year-old daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm.© 2023 All Rights Reserved© 2023 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

No episódio de hoje, decidimos descomplicar o setembro amarelo, mês dedicado à prevenção do suicídio. Desde a década de 90, a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) passou a considerar o suicídio como um problema de saúde pública e incentivou os países a criarem planos para sua prevenção. De acordo com a OMS, a cada 40 segundos, uma pessoa morre por suicídio no mundo. Isso significa que, em um ano, mais de 800 mil pessoas perdem sua vida dessa maneira. Neste episódio, recebemos a jornalista Izabella Camargo, autora de “Dá um tempo!: como encontrar limite em um mundo sem limites”. E também recebemos a Nilsa, que é voluntária do CVV (Centro de Valorização da Vida).

Today we're joined by Nilsa Alvarez, the firebrand activist who's always right there where the rubber hits the road!

Coming up on today's broadcast, we're talking about how Nilsa is helping pastors achieve voter registration drives, educating churchgoers before they register to vote, comparing party platforms to scripture, the inside scoop on the Hispanic and Latino polling data, and more!
Nilsa McKinney attributes building business relationships to her success in running a successful interior design company for over 30 years. She states that her company is only as good as those doing the work. Her clients continue to come back with additional property.

Today's Guest: Nilsa Alvarez In September of 2015, Nilsa came on board as Regional & Faith Director for the Republican Party of Florida in preparation for the Presidential, Senate, & local races for the 2016 Elections and went on to manage the Hialeah Campaign Office for then- candidate Donald J. Trump on behalf of the GOP. After the 2016 elections, Nilsa continued to serve the state party as a liaison to RECs in 15 different counties, training them in grassroots, voter registration techniques to commit the vote, and help lead the state in registration metrics and community engagement with Project Majority Red led by State Representative Blaise Ingoglia. During that time, Nilsa became the NC's go-to trainer for the Republican Leadership Initiative where she trained emerging Republican chapters such as the Asian GOP and the National Committee of Romanian American Republicans. In 2018, Nilsa managed the Broward County Campaign Offices for the FL mid-term elections, representing all Republican nominees down the ballot with a field team that contributed towards a victorious outcome for Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Rick Scott, and many others. As of 2019, she serves as an Independent Political Strategist and Project Manager alongside a team of Christian political operatives at Footprint Ideas LLC for several conservative political organizations such as: The Faith & Freedom Coalition, Bienvenido, Latinos for Tennessee, volunteered as the State Coordinator for Evangelicals for Trump TN, and serves the great state of Tennessee as a member of Governor Bill Lee's Hispanic Advisory Board while serving as part of the Governor's Economic Recovery Group during the 2020 pandemic. ————————————————————————————— Help us fund the operation here: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Get up to the minute news here: www.Remnant.News Download our new app at www.ToddCoconato.com/app Follow Pastor Todd here: www.toddcoconato.com/findme Go to our store for special deals for Remnant Warriors here: https://remnant.news/hanews/deals-for-remnant-warriors/

Featuring Special Guest, Ms. Nilsa Noel, who is the founder and owner of HERBALS by IAMNILSA. Nilsa's Story:” I was sick. I mean really sick. All the time. I woke up with migraines, I had horrible skin, stomach pains, alopecia, you name it. He was always there for me. Stressing out, just wondering what health problem will pop up next. One day, I was in so much pain, I ended up at the hospital. My entire stomach was inflammed. I had to have it coated to even sit up straight again. I knew food was behind my health issues and I had to make a change. While on our journey, breaking bad habits and gaining more knowledge centered around a healthy lifestyle, it hit us. It is not only what we put in our bodies, but also what we put on our bodies. So many products include ingredients that are synthetic, drying, or potentially detrimental to our health. At that point, we knew the importance to creating our own products with all natural ingredients.” Follow Nilsa on social media: IG:@iamnilsa --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dreamsbyanymeans/message

Hello! This episode is a little off balance because we got a new kitten! Please pardon some of the random noise. Here I talk about doing readings for other people, setting boundaries, and a couple tips for reading in a group setting. Transcript: Hello, and welcome to the Antifragile Tarot podcast. I am your resident cardslinger, Susannah, here on another witchy Wednesday to talk your ear off. This week, I am going to be talking about reading tarot cards for other people. I do want to issue a brief apology in advance; last week my husband and I adopted a new kitten, so she's a little rowdy and there might be a little bit more background noise than normal, since I'm recording this in my living room and there's nobody else home so I can't just lock her up. I spent last weekend reading as Antifragile Tarot at the JC Oddities Market in Jersey City, which is where I'm based. I've been reading professionally for about a year now and I've been reading tarot cards for about 15, but one thing that a lot of new readers struggle with is whether or not they should read their cards for other people. I personally think there is really no wrong way to be a tarot card reader. I think that you are just as valid if you only read for yourself, or if you won't take money for tarot card readings, or if you only read for other people, or if you only read with Spirit guides, or if you never read with Spirit guides... I don't think that any of this makes you any less legit or anything like that. Some people have strong opinions about this kind of thing, but I try not to-- but one thing that new tarot card readers often come up against is when they should start reading for other people, if you are of a mind to do so. Now, if you read cards and you don't keep this a secret, people will start asking you for readings. It's just what happens. And if you are not a professional reader, you'll definitely want to give some thought to how you're going to go about this, and if you want to go pro that's also something I'll be covering today. So, when you start reading cards... if you're just reading for yourself and your friends, and you're keeping it very casual and you're not claiming to be an exper,t I would have no problem giving tarot card readings as soon as you get your deck. I don't care if you're still reading the meanings off of Biddy Tarot or using the little book that came with your cards, if one came with your cards, I don't think that's a problem. I don't think it's a bad idea-- in fact, I think it's some of the best practice you're ever going to get. I gave pretty good readings right off the bat even though I wouldn't have considered myself a professional reader in high school. And I look back at readings I did and they were pretty spot-on, so I was very happy with that and I don't see why anyone else wouldn't have that same experience. But you definitely don't want to start offering pro readings if you're still relying heavily on books. Again, I don't think that pros should never look at meanings; when I'm doing ab reading for somebody, especially some some of my more in depth readings like my 12-spoked wheel reading, I sometimes look at resources because the cards have so many different meanings and sometimes I'll get a sense of something that doesn't make any sense to me, and I will start poking around about what this means and I will realize that this makes perfect sense knowing some more context about the card. But I definitely would not recommend that you start charging people money if you are not yet feeling like you can look at any card in the deck and know exactly what it means. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't read for other people. It can be really fun to sit with your friends and go over cards and talk about what they mean to you. So definitely don't be too intimidated to do that. You can also join lots of groups or tarot card reading exchanges... littleredtarot.com, which is one of my favorite resources, has a lot of-- they just opened up reading exchanges for their alternative tarot community. You do have to wait for sign-ups, they're monthly sign ups, but it's a free community. So it's definitely something to consider. You just have to join their mailing list, I think. I haven't participated myself but it's a really good idea. You can also doing some Facebook groups, and work from there. One thing I have learned is that when you're reading for other people, you do need to figure out some way to let them know that you're done. It's a lot easier when you charge money, because you can tell your friends "listen, I do a lot of free readings for you, but this is a job for me, so, you know, if you really want to book a reading with me, go ahead." I often do readings for my friends for free and I cut people discounts all the time. I also do readings for barter. But it is important that you establish some kind of boundary, because people kind of do take advantage. If you're at a point where you're feeling comfortable reading for other people and you're ready to start going pro, there's a lot of things you want to consider. I'm doing this as a very, you know, quick and easy side business. It's not a main source of income for me. I go to school, I have a full-time job; I mostly do this as an Etsy business and something I can do on weekends when I'm free. But you want to consider how you want to conduct your business. Are you someone who only believes in face-to-face readings? If so, running your business on Etsy will not work very well for you at all. Are you someone who thinks that you can only work with Spirit guides? That's something you want to be very upfront about, because a lot of people want to know where you're coming from. It's very important that when you start reading for other people, you let them know what you are and aren't comfortable with, what you do and don't read on, what you do and don't believe that tarot cards can do. I sometimes have that experience when I'm explaining my views on tarot to other people; you know, they go, "oh, you're the psychic." No, no, I'm not psychic. And they wonder why I would market myself as a tarot card reader if I don't consider myself psychic. Why would I not just lie to them and tell them "why yes, I am a psychic! I can tell you everything." I don't do that because it's not ethical to promise things that I can't deliver on, and I would rather have people who want what I have to offer instead of people who think they're getting something from me and they're not. That would be fraudulent. And it's also important to figure out what you will and won't do readings on, whether you're doing them for your friends or you're doing them professionally. Most people who are taking money for card readings will not do readings on health issues, especially fertility, and we also don't tend to do readings on whether or not a court case will go through. You know, I always tell people that my advice does not replace a medical professional, it does not replace a lawyer, and that being said, there are times when I will do readings for people as long as I can tell that we're on the same page about it. I have clients who say "you know, I've been trying for a child, I recently had a miscarriage, I'd just like some guidance on the situation." And I tell them, "you know, I'm not a fertility expert, you need to consult fertility experts, but I will do a reading on the emotional aspects of it for you." And if I really, truly don't feel comfortable with a reading, I won't do it. And you should not feel bad if someone wants you to do a reading that you're not comfortable with. Let's say you have a friend who is cheating on their spouse, and they ant a reading on how thins are going with the new person. If you're really not comfortable with that, you are not at all obligated to do that reading. Please establish those boundaries for yourself. And if you are seeking a tarot card reading, I think it's very important to make sure that you and the tarot card reader are on the same page. Make sure that you understand what they're offering. If you are seeking someone who, you know, will be able to talk to you about soulmates, or perhaps feels comfortable being a medium, connecting wyou with a deceased relative, that's something that you want to make very clear up front so that you can make sure that you're getting somebody who aligns with your beliefs and who aligns with what you think is reasonable. In my experience with reading for other people, especially if, say, you're reading at a friend's party, or even if you go to a bar and do readings for other people, I think it's important to keep two things in mind. Number one, you don't want to bring your most prized deck to be handled by a bunch of strangers. I made that mistake. I had a Centennial Smith-Waite deck that belonged to my mother, who passed away, and I read professionally with that deck for about six months until I realized that other people shuffling it made it kind of grimy, and the cards were very bent and I had to stop reading with it and get a replacement as soon as possible so that I didn't destroy this deck, which is meaningful to me. And I don't-- I read with it sometimes, now, mostly for my own personal things. Um, so if you're reading for your friends, you know, that's one thing, but sometimes you might wanna... one thing I liked to do, right before I went pro, was take my deck to bars. And I got a little mini deck to bring, it's a Rider Waite deck, it was like ten bucks and I bring it with me to bars; I've gotten beer spilled all over it, and god knows what else, but I don't mind, because it gives the deck some character, and it's easy to replace for me. Um, if you are goingto be sitting in one place for a while, make sure that you bring water and snacks-- snacks are really important. If it's gonna be cold, you should bring something, like an extra blanket or sweater. I made that mistake; I did one market where the heat wasn't on, and... I mean, I was cold. Also, if you're doing an outdoor festival reading, really make sure that you bring sunscreen, and a hat, because I and my friend who helps me set up have gotten sooo sunburned, so it's really important that you protect yourself. Um, other things to keep in mind when reading for other people, especially in big groups, you want to figure out if there's something that you like to do to begin and end readings. For me, that's a little difficult, because I don't do them very ritualistically, as a profession; I will do tarot readings ritualistically or utilize tarot in ritual in my personal practice, but when I am reading tarot for other people, that's not really what I do. So, one thing I've settled on, I like to use the phrase, you know, "is there anything in particular that you'd like to know about today?" It doesn't sound like much, but maybe it's how I say it, or the attention I'm giving the person who's sitting across from me, but that usually starts getting us in a place where we are ready to discuss things and get down to business to defeat the Huns- no, okay, not that. Um, another thing that I like to do is that.. I shuffle the deck. If it's a close friend or I feel really comfortable with the person, I'll let them shuffle the deck, but, as I mentioned, letting random people shuffle your deck is the quickest way to wear it out. So, I shuffle the deck and then I let them cut it however many times they want. You may wish to experiment with having people deal out the cards themselves, wherever you tell them to put them, but a lot of people like it if you do that because, remember, when you're doing a tarot card reading, you are the expert for someone else. You are their guide. And you have to make sure that you feel comfortable with that. You have to make sure that you feel like you are in a position where you can be honest about what the cards say and that you're also willing to say, "listen, this is what the tarot cards say, but my personal advice is..." blah blah blah. That really only applies if you're reading for a friend; if you're reading for a stranger, unless they're asking you for your personal opinion, you should pretty much stick to what the cards are saying. The thing with being a tarot card reader is also that there are images that people expect; you know, I have a black tablecloth and I have crystals all over it, but I don't necessarily dress like a stereotypical tarot card reader. For one thing, that's a really inaccurate and stereotypical caricature of Romanis; I don't use the g-word because it's a slur, unless someone who is Romani is using it themselves, but people expect a lot of that. And you know, I just look like a typical goth girl, I'm usually wearing some kind of black, a black skirt, and I have piercings and tattoos, and I do still try to give off a vibe. My vibe is interesting, a little offbeat, and when you're reading for other people, you want to set up that vibe for yourself. Is it important to you that you have candles around you? Although you want to be careful, because tarot card readers-- tarot cards are made of paper, tarot cards readers are hopefully not made of paper, if you are made of paper I am surprised that you're able to listen to this podcast. You may want to wear a specific piece of jewelry; my husband once got me a big crystal on a rope. I also know someone who makes these really great wrapped crystals, you can look her up on NilsasElementalArt on Etsy and Instagram, and she makes really cool wire-wrapped things and can tell you all about the stones and her process. So, wearing something like that can really get you in the mood. You may also have a robe you like to wear, or music you like to put on. This is something you want to do even if you are doing a remote reading; let's say, like me, you offer readings over email, you may want to get yourself into a space. When I do readings over email, I lay out the cards, I set them up, and I take a photo of them; I take them in the kitchen because I have the best natural light in there. And I used to use a tarot cloth but I managed to shrink it in the wash, oops, right now I just do it on wood and I have different crystals around and different things that help kind of connect me. I'm not someone who believes that crystals have inherent energy, I don't do crystal healing, but crystals provide a nice thing for me to focus on. And something I like to tell people is that the placebo effect can have physical consequences, so I think it is naive to dismiss the power of ritual, or tarot cards for that matter, as a placebo or confirmation bias, because it can really affect change in your life, for good or for bad. So, these are things that you want to think about when you decide to read for other people. Um, you also want to start thinking about pricing. You can look up what other people are pricing. Some popular ways of pricing are a certain amount per card, you can price for a time slot... doing it per card is more useful if you are at party kind of events, or doing it online, over the phone... if you're doing it at a festival, I've done a bunch of festivals, I personally charge per reading. I do three cards for five dollars, I do five cards for ten, and if it's a really slow day or if I have arranged with the person from the event to offer it, I do offer Celtic Cross readings, for between $15 and $20 depending on if I'm trying to run a special that day. I normally charge $20 for a Celtic Cross. [NOTE: these prices were current at the time of the podcast but are subject to change and do not reflect the current price model]. Um, these prices may change, by the way, if you're listening to this podcast years from when I publish it, I can't guarantee that my prices will always be the same, but you want to figure out what's worth it to you. You may also decide that, let's say, you are doing readings... a friend of mine has done readings at music festivals that she's worked at and she doesn't do them for money necessarily, um, it's kind of a pay what you want, please donate to me, here's a tip jar kind of thing. I also, personally, have a tip jar. I find that's useful, especially becuse I'm the kind of reader who frequently throws in extra readings for people; let's say someone says "well, I want to know about my love life and about money," I'm like, "alright, we'll do a five card reading and we'll see what comes up." And usually it becomes pretty clear that it's about their career or about their live life, one way or the other, and I usualy throw in an extra three-card reading about the other thing that they wanted to know about, if it really didn't seem to cover both bases. If you are reading for friends, uh, you can kind of have more fun with it. I would like to start offering bigger spreads, bigger life arc things, also just reading that incorporate more cards that are in the deck. So, I think the most I do right now is about twelve, but I would love to do a reading that incorporates almost the whole deck. Or maybe even the whole deck! But I'm gonna be practicing with that so I'm gonna reach out to a few friends and say "hey, you wanna be a guinea pig for me?" And that's a great way to dip your toe into reading for other people. But if you start doing readings for others, and you start to realize that it's not for you, don't worry about it. There's nothing that is making you continue. I've seen plenty of people who felt that they'd really enjoy reading professionally and they realized "you know, this isn't for me," and they just closed up shop. And other people can have whatever feelings they want about it but you are not obligated to read for anybody. Ever. On the flip side, you might be like me, and love reading for other people and kind of really enjoy doing that, but have a lot of trouble reading for yourself. I often draw unpleasant cards when I read for myself; unpleasant cards doesn't mean Death. In fact, I would like to see the Death card more, maybe? I guess I've had a lot of changes in my life, maybe I don't want to see the Death card more. But by unpleasant cards I mean The Tower, or the Nine of Swords, the Three of Swords, pretty much all the swords... also, the Emperor likes to come out to play, and the Emperor can be a really nice card, it's kind of a father figure, but when the Emperor comes out to play in my cards, it usually means the patriarchy is keeping me down. It came up once when a friend did a reading for me about getting my tubes tied, and it turned out that I haven't been able to schedule that procedure even though I still want to do it. But when the Emperor was crossing me, it was the patriarchy, and it's like, "well yes, yes I do want to get my tubes tied, cos of the current political situation, funny that the cards should catch that." So, you know, when I'm reading for myself, I find I often read very critically. I am my own worst enemy and I always have been, and I feel like I have a stumbling block when I do that. But, at the point I'm at now in my reading, I also think that I'm doing other people a disservice by not reading for myself more regularly, so I'm trying to incorporate readings for myself around the new moon, and the full moon, and sometimes as needed. I had a surgical procedure done recently so I read before that, and I actually did catch that it wouldn't fix my issue, and it didn't! I still have kidney stones! So, it can be really valuable to explore reading for yourself and reading for others. Just don't feel like you're locked in one way or the other to your readings. And don't feel like you're not enough of a reader if you aren't doing it professionally. There's no particular reason that you should be doing it professionally. So don't think that you have to do that. I decided that enough people were asking me for readings that I might as well try to make some money from it, and I also still give away readings all the time. I do them for friends, no problem. I also get to try out more fun things or decks that I'm not as comfortable with when I'm reading for free. So there's definitely cons to being a professional reader. But have some fun with it, and see how you feel, uh, feel free to hit me up in the comments, or shoot me an email at antifragiletarot@gmail.com to discuss your experiences with reading for other people. As a reminder, I mentioned a few things throughout this podcast that, uh, you might want spend money on, like my friend Nilsa's art (again, that's NilsasElementalArt, N I L S A apostrophe S, or no apostrophe on instagram, elemental art) and Little Red Tarot, the Alternative Tarot Course, um, I recommend these things because I think they're worth recommending. I don't get any money from them, I'm not getting sponsored to do this, I am telling you about them out of the hopes that you will appreciate them as much as I do. So, I hope you have enjoyed this week's podcast. I'm sorry it was a little all over the place, I was wrestling a kitten for most of it, and I will catch you next week. If you have any ideas of what you'd like to hear me go over in one of these podcasts, again, shoot me an email, leave a comment, I am all ears. Or all mouth. I guess all voice, for you. Alright, have a witchy and/or wonderful week. Bye!
