In his new book, Blueprints, Marcus du Sautoy traces the connections between mathematics and art and the ways in which creatives use numbers to underpin their work – unconsciously or otherwise. From the earliest stone circles to the unique architecture of Zaha Hadid, du Sautoy shows us that there are blueprints everywhere and how logic and aesthetics are intrinsically intermingled. Sophie Pavelle is also interested in connections and her forthcoming book, To Have or To Hold, explores symbiotic relationships in nature. Focusing on eight key examples, Sophie Pavelle explains how these mutually beneficial connections are crucial for the survival of our natural world and how they play an integral role in regulating ecosystems and strengthening resilience. She asks if we are capable of restoring and nurturing our environment or will we continue to exploit the Earth's resources, till death do us part? The British Museum's new exhibition illuminates the captivating work of the nineteenth-century Japanese artist, Utagawa Hiroshige (from 1st May to 7th September 2025). He was fascinated by the natural world and many of his pictures take flora and fauna as their subject matter. Hiroshige was one of Japan's most talented, prolific and popular artists and his influence was not only felt in his home country, but spread globally – influencing artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and contemporary artists such as Julian Opie. The curator of the exhibition, Alfred Haft, shines a light on the oeuvre of Hiroshige, his techniques and enduring legacy.Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Sophie's only gone and written another brilliant book (and no, she's not writing this episode description).  In To Have or To Hold, she unearths and marvells at some of nature's strangest symbioses and oddest relationships. In this bonus episode of For What It's Earth, Sophie and Emma sit down to chat about the book, dig into the story of a truly mysterious freshwater parasite, and share with you why Emma asked (politely) for a specific word to be removed from an early draft.

Author Eileen Santos Rosete joins us to share the highlights and learning pearls of her newly published book - To Tend and To Hold, a much-needed reverent honor to those who have survived a pregnancy loss. Links:To Tend and to Hold: https://www.eileensantosrosete.com/to-tend-and-to-hold-book Webinar on Menopause and Midlife Mental HealthTo learn more about me and my reproductive & integrative psychiatry clinic helping patients across California, please visit - AnnaGlezerMD.comTo sign up for the Fellowship in Reproductive & Integrative Psychiatry, please visit:  PsychiatryFellowship.com. 

Millions of women experience the loss of a pregnancy every year. Yet too often these individuals are not afforded the same dignity, support, and reverence we extend to other people facing grief after the death of a loved one. “We, too, are postpartum after pregnancy and infant loss,” says grief educator and doula Eileen Santos Rosete. “And we deserve the same care all who give birth need.”  In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Eileen about her new book, To Tend and To Hold. Tune in to hear how this groundbreaking educator is helping initiate a cultural shift in our understanding and attitude toward this sensitive and largely misunderstood topic, as Tami and Eileen discuss: the term “womb loss” as a respectful alternative to “miscarriage”; releasing the guilt that is so prevalent during pregnancy loss; choosing more respectful language to describe women's reproductive health; integrating grief- and trauma-sensitive care into our medical system; affording reverence to someone who is grieving; self-tending practices to support relaxation and healing; feeling at home in your body; connecting with the womb space; self-trust and honoring what is most meaningful to you; approaches to soften the acute pain of grief; the candle-lighting ritual; and more.

To Love & To Hold is a fictional love story that features themes like campus life, tribalism, love and so much more. The writting was easy to read and makes you feel like you are watching a movie. Do listen in to enjoy my review of it

What does mourning and grieving look like if it is not the type of loss we can grieve independent of our physicality and is intimately tied to our bodies?In today's episode, I'm joined by a certified DONA International Postpartum Doula and Grief Educator Eileen Santos Rosete. Experiencing pregnancy loss twice during her motherhood journey, Eileen is helping women feel seen, held, and honored. As part of her work, she authored the book, To Tend and To Hold, dedicated to women who went through perinatal loss. The book was born to support them in acknowledging the pregnancy and the end of it while undergoing postpartum without a living child. Throughout this episode, the importance of doulas, the need for cultural guidelines and resources supporting those who experience infant loss will be highlighted. You will learn about the added layer of bodily connection when it comes to perinatal loss. Eileen also talks about how others can hold space for this tender intersection of postpartum care, grief, and trauma. Plus, Eileen shares a personal story to emphasize that in the world of grief and grief literature the stance around darkness should be softened as there can be tremendous potential in it. Tune in and listen to episode 274 of Grief and Happiness, and learn to give the reverence to Womb Loss that it deserves as it happens within us and to us. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Doulas are having a moment (02:16)The uniqueness of pregnancy and infant loss (09:47)Caring for those who experience postpartum without a living child (14:07)Introducing the term Womb Loss (19:26)Softening the language around loss (23:26)Connect with Eileen Santos Rosete:WebsiteGet Eileen's book!InstagramLet's Connect:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes actor, improviser and voice artist Jim Meskimen! Jim Meskimen is an accomplished actor, improviser and voice artist whose work has been seen and heard on television, in movies and on stage for many years. He is a veteran of hundreds of TV and radio commercials, for AT&T, IBM, Subaru, Tic-Tacs, Quality Inns Hotels, and many others. He has appeared on series television in Whose Line is it, Anyway?, a British comedy-improv show now seen on Comedy Central, and in a recurring role on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Other television credits include Seinfeld, Third Rock from the Sun, Grace Under Fire, Ned and Stacey, Seven Days, Family Matters and To Have and To Hold. Jim's feature film debut was in Ron Howard's The Paper (1993), starring Michael Keaton and Glenn Close. He was featured as a mission controller in the hit Universal movie, Apollo 13 starring Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon. He recently was seen in the Touchstone pictures comedy The Other Sister directed by Garry Marshall, and in Ed TV directed by Ron Howard. He also completed a featured role in Inherit The Wind for MGM, starring George C. Scott and Jack Lemmon that aired on Showtime and NBC. Jim played officer Who-Lihan in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" for Director Ron Howard.   

This is the first of a three-part series entitled: Made in the Image, Growing in the Likeness.  This first part's title is: Being is Becoming: Why the Trinity is the Template of All Reality.  Marie Woods: Host of the "Everything You Need to Know in a Relationship" podcast and president/ founder of Life Above Foundation. In this enlightening episode, Marie and Doug discuss how the Trinity is the pattern for everything. Doug Scott's Bio Doug Scott, LCSW, works as a mental health counselor in his private practice in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college in 1997, he served as an international volunteer for two years in Bluefields, Nicaragua. This intense experience changed his life and he returned to the US to pursue graduate studies in clinical social work and pastoral ministry at Boston College. The nexus of spirituality and psychology have always intrigued Doug since childhood and he brings this sensibility to his counseling practice. Doug Scott, LCSW, MA, grew up Catholic and was always drawn to the mystical lineage within this belief system. He had experiences with Jesus, Mary, and angels at an early age. His mystical inclinations have led him to seek the depth of things and teachers who inspire him, including: Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault, Ilia Delio, Teilhard de Chardin, Alfred North Whitehead, Jim Finley, and the lives of the Saints such as St. Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila, and Teresa of Lisieux. Doug sees the Trinity in everything and everywhere.  He sees how the living pattern of the Trinity provides the power for evolution in biology, psychology, and spirituality. For him, the Trinity is the codeword or abbreviated name of God. What is the long version? Something like this:  The Who-ing, the Why-ing, and the How-ing of Eternal Becoming. Finally, Doug felt called to develop an approach—a type of pedagogy—that attempts to identify the steps in transformation and how a counselor, spiritual director, or caregiver in any position can help someone else initiate and process through the path of wholeness-making.  This is the SH!PS Approach.    Presentation Outline: A. Law of Three B. Aware-Consciousness Principle C. Creative Principle D. Pan-Experientialism E. To Hold, To Heal, To Bless: Pan-Sacramentalism

Join us on this episode as we embark on a riveting journey through the diverse landscapes of London's theatre scene. On Railton Road: A Play is a captivating exploration of the revolutionary 70s, bringing to life the experiences of real people who dared to squat, emphasising the importance of queer domestic spaces. This landmark production, based on rare archival interviews, is a sold-out sensation that delves into a transformative period. Richard Bean, the genius behind the international hit One Man, Two Guvnors, presents To Have and To Hold, a hilarious take on the challenges of dealing with ageing parents in his uproarious new comedy. Co-directed by the dynamic duo of Richard Wilson and Terry Johnson, both returning to Hampstead Theatre, this promises to be another triumph for Bean. Prepare to be swept away by The Time Traveller's Wife, a new West End musical of undeniable power. With music and lyrics by Grammy Award winners Joss Stone and Dave Stewart, this astonishing production, based on the bestselling novel, is genuinely affecting. Adapted for the stage by multi-award-winning playwright Lauren Gunderson and directed by Bill Buckhurst, it promises a sophisticated and soaring experience. The theatrical supermarket GuyMart is back by popular demand at Waterloo East Theatre. Step into the aisles of this imaginative space where gay hook-up apps become a supermarket, and follow Matt on his humorous journey through the world of love and connection. Lastly, buckle up for the rollercoaster of social media satire with FLIP!. Carleen and Crystal, two best friends navigating the online world, take a wild ride on the new platform FLIP!, chasing superstardom, influence, and money. But as they soon discover, everything comes with a cost. This sharp and thought-provoking play by Racheal Ofori, directed by Emily Aboud, challenges us to find authenticity in a world dominated by algorithms. Tune in for a theatre experience that spans the humorous, the poignant, and the thought-provoking in the heart of London's vibrant theatre land.

Nobody move! There's blood on the floor. And yr grls can't find their hearts. Thanks to whispered romance classic- "To Have and To Hold" by Patricia Gaffney. Sebastian has everyone's fave romance hero first name and a brand new estate in an idyllic country town. Total snoozefest, but then most things are to Sebby. That is, until a captivating former-con with (gasp) SHORT hair named Rachel captures his fancy AND his rather horrid whimsy. Will these two be one another's reckoning in a good way or a bad way? Are historical romances actually written about three times - the setting, the publication year, and the time it is read in? How can a text deconstruct while bolstering conservative sexual politic? CAN "the help" consent???

Lauren and Nick review season 1, episode 14 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation titled "To Halve and To Hold".

Following ease and what your body truly desires is such a delicious and rare occurrence. The animals are directing us to experience the moment. To BE in the experience. To HOLD ourselves in the experience rather than letting our mind process everything immediately. For example, taking a picture of a moment and immediately witnessing it, or posting it - rather than experiencing it - keeps you out of the now. And with that out of the conenction. Let's connect!

Take care of yourselves! Trigger warnings: On page rape of the heroine commited by the hero, pedophilia and incest committed by a side character, predatory behavior, attempted rape, grooming, wrongful incarceration, sexual and emotional abuse by a past spouse, mental health/distress, trauma, mistreatment in prison, misogyny, rape fantasies, homicide.

This monster can be a prejudice, fear, insecurity, trauma and so on. We believe that romance novels are as much about one's personal journey as they are about finding love. After all, love makes us vulnerable and forces us to bare our monsters to another.

In this episode, we discuss a poem by Li-Young Lee. In the episode, I make a mistake by saying the poem is titled "So, we're dust" when in fact it's titled "To Hold":So we're dust. In the meantime, my wife and Imake the bed. Holding opposite edges of the sheet,we raise it, billowing, then pull it tight,measuring by eye as it falls into alignmentbetween us. We tug, fold, tuck. And if I'm lucky,she'll remember a recent dream and tell me.One day we'll lie down and not get up.One day, all we guard will be surrendered.Until then, we'll go on learning to recognizewhat we love, and what it takesto tend what isn't for our having.So often, fear has led meto abandon what I know I must relinquishin time. But for the moment,I'll listen to her dream,and she to mine, our mutual hearing callingmore and more detail into the lightof a joint and fragile keeping.

This week, Suzi F. Garcia had the honor of speaking with Kay Ulanday Barrett, a self-described queer brown Filipinx disabled transgender boi. Barrett is one of the most generous people we have ever encountered, no doubt due to their commitment to care work—which is another way of saying his commitment to collective survival. Their essay “To Hold the Grief & the Growth: On Crip Ecologies” in the January 2022 issue of Poetry is an absolute must read.

In the last episode of season 7, we reach the end of the “Long and Winding (Newbie) Road”. Employment lawyers Jack, Blair and Stephen discuss how “We Can Work It Out” when taking a new recruit through a probationary period and induction process.  Blair gives some valuable tips on how “To Hold the Hand” of new starts; Jack offers advice on sorting out who within the organisation should “Carry That Weight” of overseeing the process; and Stephen discusses how slow starters should be given the chance at “Getting Better” where they need some “Help”. We also offer our views on how to tell a new start to “get back to where they once belonged” when it subsequently comes to light they have told lies in their job application. While this is the final episode of our “Newbie Road” season, the team decide to do a bonus Christmas special episode to look out for next week before we say “Goodbye” for the year.

What were the pre-Christian religious traditions of England like? This two part series serves as an introduction to Anglo-Saxon paganism. In this podcast we will look at the evidence we have for the pagan gods of the Anglo-Saxons and will compare them to what we know about the Norse equivalents that Vikings worshipped. At times it is also necessary to use Indo-European comparative mythology to understand the gods and goddesses of the Anglo-Saxons. “Anglo-Saxon paganism” refers to the Germanic pagan traditions brought to Britain in the 5th century and which persisted in surprising ways even after the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England over the 7th and 8th century.

Like all forms of art and culture, the visual arts have had to find new ways to do things. This week, we'll hear from one artist who has a new show that is going the virtual route. Photographer Keris Salmon's new exhibition “To Have and To Hold” is part of her series exploring the legacy of slavery through landscapes, architecture and text. This exhibit focuses on the homes of U.S. presidents who held enslaved people. The AJC's Rosalind Bentley spoke with Salmon about her work and she's brought us that conversation for this week's podcast.

We had the honor of interviewing Dr. Molly Millwood, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, author, and mama. Mackenzie and Emma first discovered Dr. Millwood's work after reading her amazing book, To Have and To Hold. This is absolutely a must-read book for any expectant or new mother. In To Have and to Hold, Dr. Millwood shares an exploration of the emotional complexities, both internal and within marriage, women face after becoming mothers. She explores the complex terrain of new motherhood, illuminating the ways it affects women psychologically, emotionally, physically, and professionally—as well as how it impacts their partnership. Along with the arrival of a bundle of joy come thorny issues such as self-worth, control, autonomy, and dependency. And for most new mothers, these issues are experienced within the context of an intimate relationship, adding another layer of tension, conflict, and confusion to an already challenging time. We hope you enjoy this honest conversation with Dr. Millwood, as we dive into her story, research, and life-changing book. You can find Dr. Millwood and her work at https://www.mollymillwood.com Episode References: For show notes: she references an organization that support women in the postpartum period: Postpartum Support International https://www.postpartum.net/ She also mentions Psychology Today as the site to go to in order to find a therapist near you (with lots of options for filtering based on specialty and location etc): https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl Her website is: https://www.mollymillwood.com/ Insta handle: molly.millwood.phd Her book "To Have and to Hold: Motherhood, Marriage, and the Modern Dilemma" is available wherever books are sold.

"We decided, 'OK, I’m gonna run in the Trials and then we’ll hopefully get pregnant right away, and then I’ll maybe even be able to run a fall marathon the next year!' And…it didn’t happen like that." You probably know Amanda Nurse by her Instagram moniker: Amanda Runs Boston. And she sure does. Amanda is a 20-time marathoner and two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the marathon. She's a clinical social worker turned adidas-sponsored runner and coach who has taken her marathon time from 3:26 to a very impressive 2:40. On this episode, Amanda talks about her road to elite distance running, her decision to make a major career change, and her adventures in motherhood. She opens up about her "plans" to get pregnant and what that means for a professional runner, and shares what actually happened on her road to having Riley, her now two-year-old son. It's an honest, real-talk-filled conversation about the realities of new motherhood. (And fun fact: Amanda is coached by former Ali on the Run Show guest Kaitlin Goodman!

This week we jump into another Spider-Man comic that revisits iconic moments of continuity to deliver a deeper understanding of the relationship between Peter Parker & Mary Jane Watson. Originally published in "The Sensational Spider-Man" Vol. 2 Annual #1, "To Have and To Hold" by Matt Fraction & Salvador Lorroca is one of the most beloved single issues in modern Marvel history. For a couple that has faced many insurmountable odds, "To Have and To Hold" finds Peter & M.J. at one of their lowest points following the events of "Civil War" and acts as a vow renewal of sorts right before the company editorial swings in to magically annul their marriage with the controversial "One More Day." We continue our conversation using Dr. Alexander Avila's "Lovetypes" as our relationship guide, and we discuss what keeps these two together despite a world determined to tear them apart.

At the time, the economy was doing badly, so despite it not being the best time to start a business, her husband was very supportive of the idea because it made her happy.   Buying hope Once she had used up her bonuses and most of her 401k had run out, Lisa started “buying hope”, explaining the feeling that one thing might solve her problems; one program, if she just worked with this one coach, if she just invested in this one movie, all would be well. Through what she called pay-to-play arrangements she was in two movies, gaining a role by making a substantial investment, the benefit of which was to be seen alongside famous people, such as Jack Canfield (co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series). The second movie she was in was with John Gray, who wrote the Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus series, and Marci Shimoff, who both appeared in The Secret. That film required a smaller investment but the first required a big outlay and included a lot of people who also appeared in The Secret, such as behavioral specialist John Demartini, Bob Proctor, and Mary Morrissey. She thought after the success of The Secret and that if she could be associated with these people, she would be successful and have arrived. That would be everything she needed. But it wasn’t. She still has hundreds of DVD cases in the basement, because no one watches DVDs anymore. Book deal also drains finances She was doing a lot of that kind of investment and was published in an anthology, a series like Chicken Soup for the Soul, in which she had the chance to co-author with John Demartini, which was another pay-to-play investment, but she could then at least say she was a published author. So that was another huge investment but it was just another chapter, another thing, one after another in a search for the thing that would “fix” her. Investing in hope runs up huge credit card bill In the journey to fine the perfect “next thing” Lisa ran up US$100,000 credit card debt. Even so, Lisa didn’t consider any of those horrible investments, because even thinking about the money spent, she thought: “Hey, I was in two movies with John Gray and Jack Canfield”, so in her bio she could add that to her bio alongside all the coaching she had received. Time to put the hand up for help However, the hardest moment in all of this was the discussion she had to have with her husband. They had separate finances and until this time, he did not know how much trouble Lisa was in, because she was trying so hard to be successful, to put on this air of success and that she could afford all these investments. In reality, she was drowning in debt and spending $1,200 dollars a month just in credit card fees and interest. She was dying and scared. ‘Honey, we need to talk’ So her husband Scott came home from work one day and they sat down, turned off the TV, and Lisa showed him the Excel spreadsheet she had compiled with her 17 maxed-out credit cards and associated debts all mapped out. She had a banker who had reached out to her and offered to get a lower rate on her credit card via a loan, but when the bank looked at her status, they backed away. What he did organize though was a consolidation program to combine her credit card debt into a pile along with their housing payments. Saved by a man named Ghandi And so when she talked to her husband, she had already organized this, showed him the plan designed by a banker named Ghandi, and Scott was of course shocked. However, having a plan, they worked through it and the feeling of burden lifted. She felt relieved and released. Working a plan back to profit Based on that plan, and after being in business nine years, it took five years for Lisa to reach profitability. She was taking $30,000-$40,000 losses when she began because she was investing in so many projects, but nine years later, she’s on the other side of it and just had her best year ever. She had references. She talked to people, she trusted them and continues to do so because she knows they are real and she still pays for coaching. She’s more conscious now because she knows what it’s like to have a six-figure credit card debt and she now knows what it’s like to come out on the other side.   Some lessons Long-term thinking. Any business that you get into you have to be in it for the long term, because things don’t happen for just because you invest in them. There are no magic pills. Check people out. Make sure you know, like and trust people you’re investing in or with.   Andrew’s takeaways Beware the strong feeling that one thing, one silver bullet can take you to the moon. Sometimes when we’re trying to achieve success in any field, it appears that something like a show or seminar or course, will fast-track us to it. The feeling is so strong that it is very natural and easy to jump in and do it because there is emotion and perhaps a little laziness involved. This emotion can also prevent us from doing research. There are six common mistakes Andrew has identified in all the stories he has listened to and read for Myworstinvestmentever.com, and he has compiled them in order of commonality. The No. 1 most common mistake people make is that they: Failed to do their own research. When investing in something, whether it is a stock, or our own business, or in the future of our family, we have to do the work, as Lisa says. There is no way around it. The more that we do the work to create the presentations, to make the phone calls, to do all the things we need to do to build our wealth or grow our business properly then things will come.   Actionable advice Do the work!   No. 1 goal for next the 12 months “To have the same type of year that I had last year, but a little bit more.” Lisa Ryan Lisa says she’s in a really in a good place right now. I'm getting my certified speaking professional designation my businesses doing well. It's speaking, when I want to speak and where I want to speak, which is really nice places, but at the same time, not speaking so much that I'm putting my family at risk that I'm living in airports and being on planes all the time. My goal is to really to have that the happy Satisfied marriage that I have with a fabulous spouse, and being able to do what I love because right now I'm pretty darn happy.   Parting words Lisa recommends being grateful for who you are and where you are right now, because no matter what you are going through, as the old saying goes: “This too shall pass!”   “Remember also that if you’re going through a fabulous time right now, this too shall pass. And if you’re going through a really bad time right now, this too shall pass. It’s all part of the story and just try to be thankful for where you are and where you’re going.” Lisa Ryan   You can also check out Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points    Connect with Lisa Ryan LinkedIn Twitter   Facebook  Website  Pinterest  YouTube  Blog  Facebook Business Page  Elite Experts    Connect with Andrew Stotz astotz.com  LinkedIn Facebook  Instagram Twitter  YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast    Further reading mentioned   Lisa Ryan (2018) To Have and To Hold: 101 Smart Strategies to Engage Employees  Lisa Ryan (2017) Manufacturing Engagement: 98 Proven Strategies to Attract and Retain Your Industry’s Talent  Lisa Ryan (2014) The Upside of Down Times: Discovering the Power of Gratitude  Lisa Ryan (2013) Express Gratitude, Experience Good: A Daily Gratitude Journal   John Gray (1994) Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You Want in Your Relationships  Jack Canfield, Mark Hansen (1993) Chicken Soup for the Soul 

Tonight we finish our short series and look at 7 things that Jesus brought for us To Have and To Hold.

Bracha Serri was born in 1942 in San’a, Yemen, and brought to Israel in a mass exodus of Jews from Yemen soon after the State was established. She often adopts the first person voice of a Yemenite woman, crushed between an oppressive patriarchal background and the discriminatory nature of her everyday life, as in the poem “Dish.” Serri studied linguistics and Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In addition to her writing, Sari established her own publishing house, the Or HaGanuz publishing house. Her books are known for their innovative design. Her own poetry is intertextual, not only for its Biblical references, but for its dialogue with Yeminite culture, feminism, politics, as well as religion. Text: Bracha Serri, “Aliza Says,” translated by Rachel Zvia Back. The Defiant Muse. Hebrew Feminist Poems from Antiquity to the Present. Ed. Shirly Kaufman, et al. New York: The Feminist Press, 1999.

Melanie Wood and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film Living in HOpe, people as people, human centered healthcare, learning to live with others and why you should never ye your hair grey. Trailer Watch the Series here on the Knowledge Network. Synopsis Living in HOpe is the culmination of more than a year of filming with unprecedented access at The HOpe Centre in North Vancouver. Each of the four Living in HOpe episodes offers a bold challenge to rethink how we perceive people living with mental illness. One in three Canadians will experience mental illness or a substance use disorder in their lifetime, while more than 600,000 Canadians have reported needing mental health care that isn’t provided. Despite this, and recent nationwide awareness campaigns to increase understanding of mental illness, there is still deep stigma associated with mental disorders, particularly those relating to psychosis or schizophrenia—as seen in the shame that many HOpe Centre patients experience. “Often we hear about mental illness only after someone has recovered. As a society we are used to hearing—and wanting—success stories, but the reality for many who experience mental disorders is that it is a long, sometimes lifelong struggle,” says Melanie Wood, writer and director of Living in HOpe. “By sharing stories of patients even when they are at their most vulnerable, we better understand that people living with mental illness are not ‘other’. They are just people. And they have a voice.” The documentary’s scenes are intimate, compassionate and dramatic. Patients share the circumstances that brought them to HOpe—and their dreams for the future. The series is surprisingly full of humour, jokes between patients, and witty remarks about their own illness. Biography Melanie Wood has written, directed, produced, and executive-produced a wide variety of current affairs and documentary programs. Her work as producer and documentary filmmaker reflects not only the pulse of the times, but the voices of those who inhabit them. Her work pursues themes that strike a personal chord, and indeed affect all of us in some way. Melanie’s produced and directed two documentaries on the borderlands between the Internet and the human spirit. Her documentary A Stranger In Our Home, the disturbing tale of two teenage victims of Internet predators, has been extremely popular for both broadcasters and educators around the world. The groundbreaking documentary O.com, on cybersex addiction, was a finalist at the New York Festival. It also won the Platinum Award at Worldfest-Houston, the Jury Award at the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival and was selected to screen at the Montreal World Film Festival. Her documentary, School Of Secrets, presents a tale of truth – and its consequences – in the story of a Vancouver teacher and the teenage girls he seduced. School Of Secrets premiered on The Lens on CBC Newsworld and won a Remi Award in Houston and a Gracie Award in New York for Best Documentary under 60 minutes. Wood’s international documentary credits also include To Have and To Hold, profiling the victims of stalkers, The Sweet Assassin revealing the devastating effects of diabetes in the First Nations community, On Wings and Dreams: The Men Who Built Canada’s Airlines an historical documentary for Global Television, and Chasing The Cure: Brett Finlay, Man Against Microbe, a one hour science biography in a series for Paperny Films broadcast on Discovery Health. Recently Melanie produced Carbon Hunters, a film by director Miro Cernetig for CBC, and BBC International. She also produced and directed The Difference Makers: with Rick Hansen, a prime time mini documentary series for Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium. She is currently producing Liberia’77 in association with Knowledge Network. Liberia’77 is the personal photographic journey of director Jeff Topham that examines how despite time, war, distance and culture photography connects us all. Find out more about Melanie’s work here.

Accomplished Author, Writer, and Poet Freda Camille from Delaware and New Jersey, beautifully pens her life testimony through lyrics and Delaware, New Jersey,verse in her poetry book The Storms Caused My Faith. This work was self-published in 2004 and the 2nd Edition released in 2014. In collaboration with coauthors of Things I Wish He Knew, Freda becomes transparent and vividly reveals a traumatic event that took place in her life that could have ultimately prevented the maturation of the amazing and successful woman she has become. Freda Camille has been writing for over 30 years. Freda works as a Licensed Practical Nurse in a pediatrician's office, and is a Youth Leader at New Destiny Fellowship Church, Wilmington, Delaware. She mentors young ladies in her community, and has spoken at  treatment facilities in PA, NJ, and youth programs in DE. She uses these moments to become transparent and share her testimony about the various adversities she has overcome in her life such as: rape/molestation, teenage pregnancy, depression, and how she was her mother's care taker due to her mental illness. These are just a few examples of what she experienced in her childhood that almost broke her; however, were the very things that became her strength and caused her to become so passionate about working with young people. Her desire is to encourage those who have endured the sting or stigma of the pain she has. The writings in each of her books provide a safe environment  allowing the reader to connect, identify, and work through experiences which are suppressed.  She wants you to know and see that you can get through it, you can heal, and things will get better.  Freda has also co-written her first stage play This is My Life... get to know me before you judge me!, and has two newly released titles: poetry book To Have and To Hold and children’s book The Key is Me.

I'm your host, Mike Domitrz from mikespeaks.com, where we help organizations of all sizes, educational institutions, and the US military create a culture of respect, and respect is exactly what we discuss on this show, so let's get started. Mike:                       This week's guest is Lisa Ryan. Lisa helps organizations develop employee engagements strategies that keep their top talent and best customers from becoming someone else's. She is a gratitude expert, award-winning speaker, and bestselling author of 10 books, including To Have and To Hold: 101 Smart Strategies to Engage Employees. She's also past president of the National Speakers Association Ohio Chapter, and received her MBA from Cleveland State University. Lisa, thanks for joining us on The RESPECT Podcast. Lisa:                         Well, thanks so much for having me. Mike:                       Absolutely. Let's get right into it. How does respect play in the workplace? Lisa:                         To have really good connections between people, they have to feel that you respect them. You don't necessarily have to like everyone, but to acknowledge them for the skills, the knowledge, the expertise that they bring to the workplace, that is critical in making those connections happen. Mike:                       And how do you get people to do that, to actually treat each other with respect in a workplace where they feel, "Hey, I'm here for my goals, they're here for their goals"? Lisa:                         Well, my company, which is called Grategy, stands for "gratitude strategy," so in my world, everything comes down to gratitude. It comes to looking for the good, and when you start with a gratitude practice that we could spend hours talking about, but you start to look for the good in people. So, say you have a person that, for whatever reason, you just get along with. It's like, what if I challenged you to find one good thing about that person, and it's like, "Lisa, there ain't nothing good about that person." All right, if you had to pick something about that person, what would it be? "Um, I don't know, she wore cute shoes yesterday." You start there, because when you start to acknowledge people, when you're able to look for the good, it starts to change the energy around that relationship, and over time, it does change the relationship. Mike:                       How does that ... So that's in the workplace. What about in our personal life? What about the neighbor next door? Lisa:                         The neighbor next door, it's the exact same thing. It all comes down to connection. Mother Teresa once said, "We're more starved for appreciation than we are for bread." So whether that works, and actually, with our neighbor, with our spouse, with our significant others, with our children, when we can go and find the good in those people, and let them know that, "Hey, I appreciate you," "Hey, I respect you," "Hey, I love you," and say the words that often we take for granted, working on that in our personal life then actually helps us to bring that better, less-stressed person into the workplace. So it really is part of a whole picture. Mike:                       Let's say a parent's at home, and they're having a rough day with their kids. The kids aren't listening. Let's say they only have one, and it's giving them an attitude. How do they even take a breath to ... Like, do you have an exercise to give them to take a breath and start with the breath? Because in that moment, they're in total frustration. Lisa:                         The breath definitely helps that person, and this is not a "press the easy button and everything's changed," because the thing is that when you're tired, when you're frustrated, that's probably the wrong time to start a new practice, so we're starting before that, of changing the conversation. Let's say little Johnny comes home from school. Instead of saying, "Well, Johnny, how was your day today?" and Johnny, of course, because we're wired for negativity, "Well, Billy was mean to me, [inaudible 00:03:58]," instead, "Johnny, tell me something good that happened today." Now, the first time you ask Johnny for something good, Johnny's going to look at you like you are insane, like, "What happened to you? Who are you?" But we just start to change the conversation. Lisa:                         Many people, and there's lots of research on gratitude, but it also works with children, that children that have some kind of gratitude practice, that are trained to look for the good, fare better than kids that don't. And in this immediate gratification society that we live in, when Mom and Dad take the time with the kids to say, "Okay, let's ..." We're sitting down to dinner, or we're getting ready for school in the morning. "Let's look at something good. Let's look for those things that we can be grateful for." And over time, it becomes that habit. Lisa:                         I had one of my clients that they started doing with their kids before going to bed, they would just do their gratitudes right before bed, and on the days the parents forget for whatever reason — you know, their plates are full — the kids are like, "How come we're not doing our gratitudes?" So, even at the beginning where they may be resentful, they may be, you know, "Oh, this is stupid, why are we doing this?" Over time, it becomes a practice, it becomes a habit, and it starts to change those relationships. Mike:                       How do you get someone in the workplace to even begin to attempt at home? How do you inspire them or give them a bit of a catalyst to do that, versus going, "I'm not messing with this"? Lisa:                         Well, one of my favorite ways is the 30-Day Gratitude Challenge, and this is every day for 30 days, look for five ways that you can be grateful. And there's actually five different ways ... You know, the gratitude journal, of course, is one, writing down five things that you're grateful for. There's the verbally thanking people, specifically looking for people and catch them in the act of doing something right, and being specific instead of just saying, "Hey, thanks." You know, "Thank you so much for putting in that extra effort on that report that I needed. Really appreciate your efforts, it helped a lot." Lisa:                         So first, writing them down, verbally, then we have the thank-you note and the letter of appreciation. In the world according to Lisa Ryan, the thank-you note is, you know, "Thank you for something." Thank you for dinner, thank you for the gift, thank you for something. The letter of appreciation is "Thank you for being you." Thank you because that you're in my life; this is the difference that you make. And then the fifth way is to reflect on or meditate on gratitude each day. Lisa:                         So, getting into the habit. I used to do — and actually, I've been asked to bring it back again — an official 30-Day Gratitude Challenge, where people would use the five thank-yous a day challenge, and then the funniest part was, after the 30 days were over, I was getting these emails of people saying, "I'm so sorry that the 30-Day Challenge is over, because I really liked keeping my gratitudes." I'm sitting there thinking, you know, that was part of my evil plan, that you get into the habit of doing it, and then you see the difference, and not only do you see the difference, but the people that associate with you also notice the difference. I had one guy who I interviewed after the gratitude challenge, and his wife came up to him and said, "What's going on with you? You're not nearly as grouchy as you used to be." So, whether or not you feel the difference, other people will also notice. Mike:                       Well, and it's important, and we notice what we're being grateful for. What I mean by that is the compliment, you know, telling somebody, "I'm grateful for this." In the workplace, when we're doing our program at corporations and associations, if you ask somebody to come up and say, "Say something nice to this person," they 99% of the time will go to appearance. Lisa:                         Mm-hmm (affirmative). Mike:                       And that's not going to the deep heart of gratitude, that's going for the easiest route out, and it doesn't connect with people. It's not that it doesn't connect at all, but it's in a different thing versus saying, "I see you talk about your kids; you clearly are a devoted parent." That is so much more meaningful than "Wow, nice top," you know, or "Nice jacket," or "Nice shoes," or ... And so you can start to say, "How can I see deeper to connect with this person on something that's meaningful?" You brought up a good example there on the project, to be grateful for the insights you brought to that project. To be that specific is a way more powerful form of gratitude and respect than "Hey, thanks for your help." Lisa:                         Exactly, yeah. Mike:                       So, to be the more specific and say, "That insight you shared right there, that was so brilliant, that helped me go down this path," and be that intentional with the gratitude, can really allow it to connect human beings. Lisa:                         Right, exactly, because really, what gets recognized gets repeated, so when you're telling that person, "Thank you, your insight, the relationship that you have with your family, the fact that you share," whatever it is, that we're looking at actions. Because I speak to a lot of manufacturing associations where there is mostly men in the audience, and when I use accepting a compliment, I do a whole thing on the ability to accept a compliment, but the thing is, because we focus on appearance, in the workplace, that can get a little hairy with all of this. So it's focusing on the actions that that person did, whether or not you like their dress or you like their ... Whatever they're wearing, when we're focusing on the physical attributes of a person, sometimes that can get us in trouble. Mike:                       Absolutely, and that's why we're brought in, is because people don't realize, they are naïve or ignorant, sometimes they just don't care — hopefully that's not the case — that those physical comments can be harming- Lisa:                         Right, exactly. Mike:                       ... especially with tone of voice, where you're looking when you're saying it. There's a million things that can cause harm there, whereas telling you what a great job you did on a project, there's very little chance of me causing harm without ... As long as I don't double-edged sword it, right? Like, "Unlike the last time ..." That, then, is not gratitude, that's like ... Well, it's gratitude with a slap at the same time. And so that's important, to let it be free of any "buts" or "and ifs." Lisa:                         Right, right. Well, and the thing, the other thing that you're doing when you're being specific and recognizing that colleague, and recognizing that employee, is they know that you're paying attention to them. You're not just going because, "Oh, I went to this program and Lisa Ryan said I needed to thank five people. Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Check, done." Where instead, I'm specifically focusing, and now my employees know that I'm not only getting on them when something goes bad, but I'm also paying attention to what's going well. Lisa:                         I was at one of my programs, and a guy came up to me afterwards. He said, "You know, Lisa, when I do something wrong, I get recognized 100% of the time, and when I do something well, it's rare that I get acknowledge." And studies, I mean, there's lots of studies that are out there that show that a lot of times, it's about 42% of employees have been recognized for the good work that they've done by their manager in the past year. Year! That's insanity. We change the workplace when we start to look for people and catch our employees doing things well. That's when we can change the culture. Mike:                       Well, yeah, and we all know the research shows people don't leave jobs, they leave bosses. They leave poor leadership. And so the question becomes, if you're listening to this, "How can I be a positive leader? Even if there ... Maybe I'm on the ... You know, I'm the lowest rank in the situation, how can I still bring positive leadership to that environment? How can I show respect for those I work with?" And this becomes an important part. Now, someone will sit there and go, "Well, when it comes to companies and respect, it's all about the bottom dollar, it's all about profit." So, how do you help that person realize respect has a lot to do with profit, with the bottom line? Lisa:                         You know, when you ... Because I run into those same managers, you know, "Why should I thank my people for doing a job? Isn't that what a paycheck's for?" It's like, you know what? If you want your people to do exactly what you pay them for, if a paycheck is all it's about, they will do exactly enough work so that they don't get fired, because you're probably paying them exactly enough so that they don't quit. If you want that employee to give you their best efforts, to have that best friend at work that Gallup says is one of the points of an engaged employee, that brings their best, that gives you their blood, their sweat, their tears, then we look for ways to acknowledge our employees. Lisa:                         Then we look for ways, and it doesn't matter if you are at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to the corporate ladder; every single person in an organization can make a difference, and it's just in that language. It's "I appreciate you," it's "Thank you," it's "I respect you, I respect what you bring to this workplace." I'm catching you doing things right, and I'm looking for your strengths, instead of always trying to fix what's broken. If I'm always trying to fix what's broken, and I'm bringing that negative, toxic energy with me, my people are going to leave. They're going to go down the street for 50 cents more an hour. Why would they stay? Mike:                       Yeah, and I've seen the opposite, where somebody's in a work environment that they feel loved, they feel respected, and they have a gift and a talent, they really should be an entrepreneur. Everything about them says they should be on their own, and they would be incredibly successful, but they won't leave, because of the love and respect they have, and they don't want to leave that. That's when you've created a chemistry of ... Your best will just shine from within. Even when they're so good they could shine on their own, they'll stay. Because you can't buy that, you can't buy genuine respect and admiration and appreciation. Lisa:                         And what oftentimes will happen is that somebody will be working at an organization where they feel loved and connected, and then they believe that all companies must be like this, so they leave that company for a better opportunity, and then they realize that they're just another number, that they're being treated like crap, that they don't have the same thing. And then we have that boomerang effect, that now that employee that we love, that we trust, that we had this relationship, now they want to come back to us, and we have somebody that's already trained, that's already in the flow. And so, when we don't ... You know, we're always in that "grass is always greener," so if we have it and the grass is really green, we're going to think, "Hey, that's going to be better," and then we find out that it's not, because we're with a unique organization who is respecting us, who is treating us with gratitude, and it doesn't take a lot to do that. It just takes that sincere effort, and that's the key, it has to be sincere. Mike:                       Well, yeah, and I think of my friend Sam Silverstein. He wrote a book about Happy State Bank, and it's all about the company's core values, and how you live them. And this is the epitome of "Do you live with respect for your employees?" You know, for years, it was always "The customer comes first." Many organizations now are saying, "No, our employees come first, because if our employees come first, they'll make sure the customer is taken care of. They will genuinely show love and care and consideration." If we're saying "customer first," and I have miserable employees, what are the odds that customer feels like they're first, when they're in front of a miserable employee? So I think something for people to challenge themselves, to go, "What are your core values in your organization? Do they bleed respect and appreciation? Do they tell us that every day, we practice respect and appreciation?" In your home, do you have core values for your family, and do they bleed respect and gratitude for your family members? Lisa:                         Well, and you look at it, if you have a corporate mission statement, you know, that you and your leadership came, and you sat together, and you came up with this grand plan for "This is our organization, this is who we are," if I took that to your employees and I read your mission statement to your employees, would they laugh, "Yeah right," or would they say, "Yes, that is our core"? Is it like the Ritz-Carlton of "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen," that they know that to the core of their being, or is it just words on a wall because it looks good? This is where we get the buy-in, when we live our mission, our values, when we demonstrate that, and when our employees are part of the process. Lisa:                         Because you're right, the numbers show that. When it comes to taking care of employees first, the happier your employees are, the more empowered they feel to take care of the customer instead of jumping through a lot of hoops, that you're trusting them, that you respect them and their ability to make good decisions. That's where the emphasis needs to be, because that's how you're going to then ... You're keeping your top talent from somebody else, from becoming someone else's, and that top talent's now going to help your customers from becoming someone else's as well. Mike:                       Yeah, and draw in more top talent, right? Lisa:                         Exactly. Mike:                       If you've got all rock stars, it's easy to get another rock star, because they want to be around rock stars. Lisa:                         Right. Mike:                       You see it in professional sports all the time, where this superstar takes less money to go win the title with the winning team. Why? Because they want to be around winners. People will take less, will give up, will sacrifice to be part of a winning experience. And winning doesn't have to mean more money, it means that I feel like this is something special that I'm part of here, and that is priceless. You're right, though, that if it's forced, it's a different ball game. In the military, when you're doing trainings, they'll say, "That briefs well." Now, "That briefs well" means nothing's going to actually happen after this brief is done. It sounds awesome during the briefing, but none of this is actually going to happen in real life. And I love that term, because ... Right? It's about only in the brief is this logical, nothing about this is outside of. And that's what I love about being able to have this conversation on the podcast, is how do you make all of this applicable? So how do we catch ourselves from losing sight of that? Lisa:                         Boy, there ... It really becomes a conscious effort, and that's why I always start with the personal practice of gratitude, or something that you're doing personally, so you start to see the benefits of it. But in the workplace, Marcial Losada did a study where he looked at high-performing teams, and he watched them communicate, and what he saw was a six-to-one positivity ratio. So basically, for every one negative thing that somebody on that team would hear, they would hear at least six positives. Now, this wasn't like, "Oh, yay, everything you do is so well," this is, "You know, that's a really great start of an idea. How can we expand on that?" Again, it goes back to respectful communication. Lisa:                         On an average-performing team, he found it was three to one. For every one negative, they heard three positives. He found that this was barely survival. This is your employees are doing enough work so that they don't get fired, you are paying them enough so that they don't quit, even balance. But on a low-performing team, it's .3 to one, so they're hearing three times more negatives. It's almost like that old poster back in the day, you know, "The beatings will continue until morale improves." It doesn't work. Lisa:                         We have to stop focusing on what's broken, so if you ... As far as starting this process, there's people that are already really good at it. If you're not, if this is new, one of the best things that you can do, I like to call the apology approach, where you're talking to your employees and saying, "You know what? I have not been letting you guys know how much I appreciate you, how this company runs as well as it does because of what you bring to it, and I take responsibility, and I'm going to make more of an effort." Because now, you've established a little bit of that vulnerability that your employees know why you're doing this, instead of that first time you're like, "Okay, Lisa said that I have to start thanking people," and you go up to an employee and you say, "Hey, thanks so much for doing a great job." They're going to look at you like, "Okay, what do you want? You've never thanked me in the 25 years I've been here. What is up with you?" Lisa:                         So we start with some kind of confession, something of taking that responsibility that this is important to me, and this is important to us as an organization, that I've been ... I really want to get better at it. And then, the thing is that you keep doing it, because gratitude, respect is not one-way. "Well, I said thank you to her, and she never says thank you back," or [inaudible 00:21:46]. It doesn't matter. You can't influence ... The only thing, the only person that you can influence is yourself, so you start to look for the good, you start to change. Lisa:                         I had one of my clients, he was ... I don't know if he owned a John Deere dealership; let's use that for an example. And every morning, he'd walk in and he'd see Bob, and he'd say, "Morning, Bob," and Bob would say, "What's so good about it?" "Morning, Bob." "What's so good about it?" "Morning, Bob." "Morning." "Morning, Bob." He never let Bob's attitude change his good morning, and even though it didn't seem like it, Bob heard him, and over time, his relationships changed. Because the thing is, we don't know what Bob's home life is like. We don't know if this guy, this manager was the only positive thing that Bob ever came into during the day. So that's what I'm saying: Each of us has the opportunity to make a positive influence. Whether or not we feel that that other person is hearing us, they are. Mike:                       Absolutely. And what's powerful about that — I love that Bob story, by the way, that's fantastic — is when you say to somebody, "Do you believe that we should treat all people with dignity and respect?" almost everyone says yes. "Okay, are you doing that for the one that you hate next to you at work?" "Well, no." "But you just said 'all people.'" "Well, not them." "Well, no, all people or all people?" Which means I ... Not only that, I could take it deeper. What if I treat you with love and compassion? So it starts with respect, and at the ultimate form of respect is to treat everyone with love and compassion. And so, what if I could treat you with that, so no matter how bad your day is, I'm compassionate because you've had a bad morning before that point, right? Lisa:                         Right. Mike:                       And that's not giving up on Bob, so that was a brilliant example. What do you think are the barriers that stop people from continuing, that make it so easy after the 30 Day Challenge to stop doing the gratitude exercises? Lisa:                         You know, gratitude's very easy to do; it's also easy not to do. We say that, "Oh, this is so basic, we should all know this," and there's a part of us that thinks that, "Oh, we don't really need to write it down," or "We don't need to do this." But it's making that over the long time. I mean, I've been keeping a gratitude journal since 2009. It's the one thing that I can attribute to everything in my life changing. It's just been an amazing practice, and there are times that even me, as a gratitude expert, get away from it. You know, I'm traveling, I'm tired, my schedule doesn't ... Whatever it is. And things don't go as well, and I'll be like, my mood's not as happy, it's like, "What's going on? Oh, I got away from the practice." Lisa:                         You forgive yourself, you move on, which is why I also recommend journals without dates in it, because if you forget a couple days, then you have to feel all guilty and go make up stuff for a couple days to fill it in. Oh, no. Just get a journal without dates, and start the practice, and if you get away from it, or a lot of times in my programs, I'll ask, "Who keeps a gratitude journal, show of hands?" And I get a lot of "Well, I used to. Boy, I should do that again." You know what? Forgive yourself, move on. Every single day, every interaction is a new interaction, so just because you got away from it, just because you had a couple bad days, doesn't mean that you can't start fresh and reconnect with that person. Mike:                       I love it. In addition to your 10 books, what would be an additional book that you haven't written that you thought had a powerful impact on that journey for you? Lisa:                         Wow, there's so many. Probably, as far as establishing relationships, my two books in my top five are Think and Grow Rich, because of course, that changes the way that you think, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, I mean, number one, taking my first Dale Carnegie class is what made me want to be a speaker back in the late '80s. But even the little reminders that Dale Carnegie gives you, of "The most precious sound to any person is the sound of their name," of just remembering those connections, and establishing that relationship with people. Lisa:                         Especially if you're in top leadership, and you're working in a plant, and you're walking through the plant, and you can say, "Hey Bob, hey Susie, hey Gary," these people are going, "Wow, the president knows who I am." It's these little things that make a huge difference, that build those connections. So again, doesn't take a lot of effort, doesn't take a lot of time, but if you make that conscious decision that I'm going to be the positive light. Lisa:                         Because the other thing that, you know, you may have that ... Our relationships come down to moments, and sometimes they're good moments, and sometimes they're bad moments. And just because you're having a bad day, "Well, she just needs to understand I'm having a day," no, you just created a moment that could destroy that relationship. We look to coming from respect, we look for coming to compassion. That old thing that Mom used to tell us, "Count to 10 before you lose your temper." You know, leave the email for 24 hours before you press send. Do something so that we never create a moment that is going to destroy the good that we've done to build that relationship. Mike:                       I love it. That's a powerful ending, Lisa. Thank you so much for joining us. Lisa:                         You are very welcome.

The last in our series, “To Have and To Hold”. Marriage is not about a contract but rather a covenant with God and the person you married. At the end of the day do we have staying power?

#3 In our series “To Have and To Hold”. Ecclesiastes 9:9 invites us to “Enjoy life with your wife ….” What does that mean?

When it comes to fighting are you a boxer or do you spar? In relationships one is preferred over the other. The second message in our marriage series: To Have and To Hold.

To Have and to Hold (Fantagraphics Books) Couched in the traditional trappings of a noir heist thriller, Graham Chaffee’s To Have and To Hold is a hard-boiled disquisition on the darker regions of married life and the American Dream. Set in October 1962, while the world holds its collective breath awaiting the possibly apocalyptic climax of the unfolding Cuban Missile Crisis, the banality of everyday life goes on, as Lonnie and Kate Ross confront their own domestic cold war. As Kate, frustrated and disillusioned, looks outside her marriage for satisfaction, Lonnie’s justifiable suspicions of his wife’s infidelity lead him down a deadly road of increasing paranoia and violence as he seeks to reclaim what he’s lost. Possession, jealousy, lust, and betrayal — the classic ingredients for a rocky marriage in an America on the verge of nuclear apocalypse. Masterfully paced and drawn in Chaffee’s fluid, inky brushstrokes, To Have and To Hold captures the pulpy, nocturnal atmosphere of classic noir. Praise for Graham Chaffee: "The world does not have nearly enough graphic novels told from the perspective of adorable dogs. Let alone graphic novels that have a good chance of making you feel delighted on one page, then maybe like you might cry a little bit on the next page. Good Dog does those things, and also, did I mention it’s told from the perspective of an adorable dog? Seriously, the dog is so great! I would adopt him in a second and we would do everything together." – Erik Henriksen, Wired, The Best Comic Books of 2013 Graham Chaffee is a professional tattooist and comics artist. His previous books are The Big Wheels (1993), The Most Important Thing & Other Stories (1995), and Good Dog (2013). He lives and works in Los Angeles Sammy Harkham is an American cartoonist and editor, born in Los Angeles in 1980.
