Notes: What does it take to allow you to fall to rest, deeply & completely? Rest is such a necessary component of healing, and sometimes can be tricky to come by -- unless I'm the only one awake at 2 in the morning sometimes, with my head spinning fruitless circles? Feeling completely safe -- completely loved -- is one of the things that lets me rest, slows the adrenalin responses, and lets my body and mind heal. This song does that for me... whew!!! The composer, Elizabeth Norton, points out: "Please note that there is no "you" verse. This is because Rev. Dr. Parker was very clear that this is a widening circle of Love and compassion that embraces all." We are each at the center of this song. Visit abreathofsong.com for lyrics, more of Patty's artwork, and a way to nominate songs or songwriters for the podcast. Join the A Breath of Song mailing list to receive a heads up as a new episode is released, plus a large version of the artwork, brief thoughts from my slightly peculiar brain... and occasional extras when they seem vitally important! No junk -- I will never sell your address. I read out all your names into my living room when I send new mailings... I appreciate the connection to you who are listening and singing these songs with me. Exchange energy with A Breath of Song with dollars at the Gratitude Jar (whoo-hoo!!!!), or by making comments, leaving reviews, suggesting songs or songwriters (including yourself) ..... your participation matters! Songwriter Info: A life-long church musician, Elizabeth (Beth) Norton has served First Parish in Concord, Massachusetts as Director of Music Ministry since 1994, leading a dynamic adult choir and guiding a vital and varied music ministry for singers and instrumentalists of all ages and stages. She has led UU singers on concert pilgrimages to Eastern Europe, building musical bridges with Unitarian churches in Transylvania (Romania), Hungary and the Czech Republic. Beth received her bachelor's degree with a major in music from Smith College and a master's degree in choral conducting from Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford. As a composer, she has written several songs, chants and choral anthems that are currently available by contacting EHNComposer@gmail.com. Beth says she had the great wisdom to marry into the Norton family in 1986. Her husband, Peter, is Tom Norton's brother. Thus, she has the great good fortune (again, her own words!) to claim Patricia Norton as her sister-in-law and friend! Beth and Peter have two adult sons, who live in southern Vermont and near Boston Massachusetts. Beth and her family share a love of music, hiking, skiing, and birding. She usually has a knitting project on hand.

About Tom Norton I am a family man. My wife, Jami, and I have three children aged 10, 9, and 7. I am a veteran of the Afghan War and have stood with my fellow veterans since we have returned. I have focused on suicide prevention, leading an American Legion post to greater growth, and helping to found the West Michigan Veterans’ Ranch.  The line has been drawn in the sand. It is our time to choose and the choice is clear. We won’t surrender our allies, our borders, or our rights as citizens to non-legal residents. We need a wall to stop drugs from coming across our borders. Our benefits as citizens must go to Americans first. We must show courage for our allies and the Red, white, and blue.  I am Tom Norton. Our time for choosing is here. It is time for us to stand strong for our district and America. Our country is great, her best days are ahead of, not behind her. I’ve got your back. Together, we can stand strong for America and have hers.  Website: https://www.facebook.com/tomnortonusa/ Twitter: @fornorton Parlor: @norton4congress

This week's podcast guest is Nancy Fletcher who retires at the end of this year after a 40-year out of home advertising career, which includes nearly 30 years as President and CEO of OAAA.  Here are highlights of our interview. What have been the industry's biggest accomplishments over your tenure? Over these last almost 30 years the industry has reinvented itself.  Today it's data rich, it's measured, it has an exciting variety of out of home formats that are digital or static, and in that time out of home revenues have tripled while other traditional media is declining. The industry over the last three decades has done an effective job of turning what were government and community skeptics into actual partners of the industry.  We won that important fight for just compensation on Capitol Hill. All 46 states that have billboards now have just compensation. We beat back a statewide referendum ban in Missouri that would have spread to other states. We achieved a green light for digital billboards and rolled out a regulatory framework that is working at the federal level. We won a court challenge when Scenic America was not happy with that regulatory framework and tried to stop digital billboards via litigation. On the importance of the Thomas case This is a big case before the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.  It's called the Thomas case.  It asks whether billboard law is constitutional. The case comes out of Tennessee, and it's important because it may actually make its way to the US Supreme Court. The industry stake in this case is nothing less than the protection of property rights that are included in the current law. We expect a ruling from the US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals later this year. Where is OOH doing a good job giving women opportunities? We've made good progress, but we need to do more.  If you look at it just from a metrics perspective, the OOH industry has done as good a job or better than much of the advertising or corporate world in giving women opportunities.  I remember when I entered the industry in 1978, there were four women in senior positions.  And now there are hundreds.  You had a piece in Billboard Insider on almost 400 women in senior positions, and 58 were running specific operations.  You also published a story on how the public out of home companies are doing better than the Fortune 500 for the number of women directors.   Where can the industry do better? Diversity and inclusivity will be a central theme at the Las Vegas Conference.  We've partnered with the Female Quotient, which is a female owned enterprise committed to advancing equality in the workplace.  They are going to add important programming elements including a Female Quotient lounge that will be a side stage with panel discussions, career counseling, etc.  The CEO of the Female Quotient, Shelly Zallis, is going to be on the main stage talking to CMO's from two or three Fortune 500 companies, discussing the importance of diversity in today's ad business. Who have been some of your mentors? I have been blessed by working with Bob Naegele. He taught me the power of out of home and the power of urgency. Arte Moreno brought deep discipline and a service orientation to the business. Karl Eller, and his focus on the creative impact of the medium.  Bill Apfelbaum, who is one of the best salesmen ever in any business.  He lived the principle, and I learned from him that nothing happens until a sale is made. All of the Reilly's are super savvy business people.  I've worked closely with Kevin Sr and Kevin Jr and now Sean Reilly. And then maybe most important of all, the many family owned company leaders who are really like family to me.  People like Tom Norton, who has been on the OAAA board since the day I arrived. What's next? I want to take the next months to thank the industry…. This industry has given me such unforgettable opportunities.  I've had a great ride.
