My Top Lessons for Creating a Life You Love

Six Lessons I've Learned that Will Help You

My 40th birthday is coming up this weekend (July 12th) and as I hit this big milestone, I’ve been reflecting on where I’ve been, what I’ve learned and how I’ll use it to propel me forward to where I want to go.

My life looks and, most importantly, feels a lot different than it did when I rounded the corner to age 30 and even age 35. I’ve learned so many lessons that changed my life and continue to guide me.

Today, in celebration of my big 4-0, I’m super excited to share the top lessons I’ve learned over the past decade with you!

You have one life to live. There are no second chances. No do-overs. You get one go ’round at this life. Why would you spend one more minute waiting to be happy?

This thought changed my entire life.

It came to me, like a single ray of sun breaking through thick clouds in a dark storm, as I sat in the hospital with Vivian when she was 3 months and recovering from 7-hour neurosurgery for a tumor on her spinal cord.

That experience and the anger, fear and hurt that I felt, brought my life and my goals into clear focus and made me realize I was waiting for my life to start. Waiting for situations to improve and people to change so that I could finally feel happy.

That thought made me realize if I kept waiting, it would be too late - life would pass me by and I wouldn’t get another chance at it.

So I stopped waiting.

And I invite you to do the same.

If there are parts of your life where you feel like you’re waiting, going through the motions, focused on some future destination of happiness where you believe you’ll finally find lasting happiness, I encourage you to shift.

The answers aren’t out there. Focus your attention inside and you will find what you’re looking for.

You are not your thoughts.

Ekhart Tolle’s book, The Power of Now, taught me this and it was such a breakthrough for me.

I’d lived my life believing I needed to take credit for all the thoughts my brain had - after all, it was responsible for my success and my intelligence was a defining part of my identity. But it was also where all my insecurity, loneliness and fear came from.

My head does a great job of instantly spinning worse-case-scenario stories, reminding me of my inadequacies and whispering how much more I could be doing, being and achieving. When I realized I didn’t have to attach myself to all the thoughts that went through my head, it was so freeing.

Thoughts are merely the things your brain does, just as digestion is what your stomach does.

You don’t have to react to and participate in all the thoughts it has. When you are able to observe your thoughts and let the ones that don’t serve pass by without holding to them, you have thoughts with intention and create a life with intention.

You can choose to be a victim of circumstance or a student of the universe.

When I first got separated, I blamed everything on my husband. I was pissed, hurt and resentful. Everything was his fault and I couldn’t wait to finally be out. But then I realized, in blaming everything on him, I gave away all my power. If I was merely a victim of circumstance and this was truly all his fault, what was to stop this from happening to me again?

I started getting honest about how I’d contributed to the state of our relationship, the patterns and pain I needed to own, and it was so empowering. I was no longer a victim; I was a student.

It’s easier to blame things and people for the mess we’re in because it keeps our ego intact. But it’s totally dis-empowering.

When I was willing to drop my ego enough to look honestly at my own reactivity, actions and thoughts, I learned from them so I could make true and lasting change - based on taking responsibility for myself rather that waiting for circumstances to change.

What can you learn about yourself from the situations you’re in? What patterns are you repeating? This isn’t about saying “Well, I learned never to trust them again…” though that may be a part of it. It’s an invitation to look closely and honestly at how you contributed to creating the situation so that you can learn and grow yourself.

I truly believe everything is always as it should be - because it’s what is. There’s no use in wishing for things to be different because they’re not. So what can you learn from how things are to create something different in the future?

The only way past is through.

I spent so much time avoiding my issues or pretending they weren’t there, hoping they’d magically disappear with time. But you know what? It never worked.

Instead, they stayed, hovering like a dark cloud that dimmed the light in every part of my life. The distractions I used to avoid facing my issues - food, alcohol, work, achievement, relationships, things - consumed all my energy and left me exhausted and depleted.

When I first got separated, I made the life-changing decision to allow myself to feel all my emotions, rather than numb or distract myself from my sadness. I chose to ride the waves of anguish and pain until the storm passed and the sun shone again.

When the storm cleared, I was stronger, braver and wiser than I’d been before because I allowed myself to go through it.

When we don’t trust ourselves to face our fear and go through our pain, we aren’t actually preventing it. We’re merely spreading it out, painting it like a thick layer of gray across the entire canvas of our lives that dulls and dims our entire existence.

Yes, going through it can be intense, dark and painful, but after the storm, there is always a beautiful sunset. And, after you’ve passed through the darkness, you’ll appreciate the warmth of the sun with a depth and fervor you never had before.

Once you know how to be, then you’ll know what to do.

I learned this the hard way after leaving my career at Google and realizing my identity was based on what I did and where I worked. I attached my value to the value I added and believed deep down that the more I did, the more worthy I was.

Most of my life had been spent hustling or, as I called it, dancing for my dinner. I had no idea how to be, or truly, who I was beyond all the things I was doing.

I spent months after leaving Google detoxing from my habit of “doing” and learning who I was underneath it all. This is where the “Art of Undoing” comes from - because I had to learn how to un-do and how to be.

As I became still enough to connect deeply with my being, I became more centered in who I am and the things I did became much more effortless. Hustling always felt like work - it was always a game of how to impress and achieve and included a lot of dodging and dancing to get it ‘right’.

Now, the actions I take are directed from my center, not from the outside. And, when I do that, it doesn’t any of the effort or energy I used to put into the show.

This lesson is one that requires feeling not thinking. When I was first presented this lesson, I didn’t understand it. Doing from being? Huh?

But, I promise, if you are brave enough to stop doing and get centered in your being, you will feel the truth of every word, just as I and so many of my clients have.

Do what feels good.

By the time I was 12 years old, I was anorexic. At 15, I slid into what became a decades-long battle with bulimia. I’ve waged a war against my body most of my life, believing if I punished and shamed it enough, it might finally comply and become the perfect body I dreamed of.

From how I exercised to what I ate and drank to how I slept and everything in between, all my actions were based on doing what looked good or what sounded good. Diets and exercise classes looked good, drinking wine every night sounded good.

But none of it actually felt good. Maybe in the moment some of it did, like the wine - but the next day, I’d feel sluggish and dim. Most of my days were filled with feeling restricted and boxed in and then doing things to distract myself from feeling the confinement.

I wasn’t listening to my body at all - I was listening to my head which told me all the ways my body was woefully inadequate. When I finally started listening to my body and allowing it to tell me what it needed in order to feel good, energized and healthy, everything changed.

Doing what feels good requires paying attention to how all your daily micro-decisions make you feel, from the people you’re around, to the food and drinks you consume to how you exercise and sleep. Do you feel more energized or drained as a result?

The more things you do that give you energy rather than deplete it, the better you feel and more able you are to face the challenges you’ve been too exhausted to deal with. And, most importantly: what feels good to you isn’t always what feels good to someone else. That’s ok. Their path is not your path. Don’t allow yourself to be confined by trying to fit on someone else’s path.

These lessons truly have changed my life and continue to be guideposts in my journey. My wish for my 40th birthday is that they can inspire and help you on yours.

As a gift to me, I’d love more than anything to hear from you:

  • Which of these lessons resonate most with you and why?
  • Any lightbulb moments that inspired you?
  • What’s one of your greatest life lessons?

Let me know in the comments below and please, share this article with anyone who could use these lessons as well!

With all my love,

Carbon Nanotube-based MEMS Energy Storage Devices

  • Author(s): Jiang, Yingqi
  • Advisor(s): Lin, Liwei
  • et al.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) forests have been utilized as electrodes in supercapacitors in this work for energy storage applications. High surface area to volume ratio, good electrical conductivity, and low contact resistance to a bottom metal electrode make CNT forests attractive as electrodes in supercapacitors. Several approaches have been investigated to improve the performances such as configurations, power and energy density of CNT-based supercapacitors, including the single layer architecture by utilizing interdigitated finger electrodes, pseudo capacitors based on electroplated nickel nanoparticles, ultra-long and densified CNT forests electrodes.

Vertically aligned CNT forests have been synthesized using the thermal CVD process and their sheet and contact resistances have been characterized with four distinct methods: (1) the transfer length method (TLM), (2) the contact chain method, (3) the Kelvin method, and (4) the four point probe method. Experimental results show that CNT forests of 100µm in height and 100µm in width have a sheet resistance of about 100ohm/sq;. The specific contact resistance to a current collector is 5×10E4 ohm.µm2. Consistent results from these methods have been observed and less than 0.9% resistance deviations were measured after two months of open-air storage.

In the first development stage, planar supercapacitors based on CNT forests electrodes with interdigitated finger shapes have been fabricated using a combination of Mo/Al/Fe metal stack layers to achieve dense growth of CNT with low resistance. The specific capacitances of the prototype electrodes were measured to be about 1000 times higher than those made of flat metal electrodes. Furthermore, charging/discharging experiments show over 92% energy storage efficiency and robust cycling stability.

In the second development stage, CNT forests with embedded nickel nanoparticles have been used as electrodes for pseudo supercapacitors. A vacuum infiltration process is used in the electroplating process for the uniform deposition of 30-200nm in diameter nickel nanoparticles within the 80µm-high CNT forests. The measured specific capacitances are up to one order of magnitude higher than those CNT forests electrodes without nickel nanoparticles. No visual morphologic change was observed on nanoparticles after 1000 cycles of cyclic voltammetry tests.

In the third development stage, ultra long CNT forests were synthesized using a water-assisted CVD process. Experimental results confirmed the capacitance increments were linearly proportion to the height increase of CNT forests with good long term stability.

In the fourth development stage, a two-stage, self-aligned liquid densification process has applied on CNT forest to shrink the volume of CNT forests electrodes. By combining both mechanical bending and liquid densification, the height of CNT forest shrunk from 320µm to 21µm. Experimental results show self-aligned and continuous CNT films with preserved bottom contacts to the conductive metal layer. These densified CNT forests electrodes had similar total capacitances before and after the densification process while the volumetric specific capacitance increased from 1.07F/cm3 to 10.7F/cm3 because of the volume reductions.

LLB Law student selected for Global Youth Leaders Development Programme

Congratulations to first year LLB Law student Nadirur Choudhury who has been selected for the Global Youth Leaders Development Programme - "The Ship for World Youth Leaders".

Nadirur will join young people from Japan and other countries around the world on an ocean liner later this month. They will live together, and participate in onshore, on board and overseas training sessions in leadership and research throughout cities in Japan.

The programme, sponsored by the Cabinet Office of the Government of Japan, aims to deepen mutual understanding amongst adults and young people in Japan through international discussion, leadership training and cultural activities. To promote the need for globalisation, youth leadership and more crucially strengthen the partnership between adults and young people.

Leadership experts around the world have been selected to participate in facilitating research and training workshops, and learn more about the culture of Youth work and leadership in Japan. More significantly they will contribute to a research report on the effectiveness of Global Leadership to the Japanese Government at the end of the trip.

Nadirur has been volunteering in youth work for more than seven years, ranging from being elected a Member of UK Youth Parliament to recently being selected a Birmingham Future Leader in March 2014. He was encouraged to apply for the programme through his local youth cabinet group, and following an application process and interview with a recent alumni of the project, he was offered a place for 2015.

Nadirur said, “I am humbled to have been selected on this programme and I am certain this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity that will be extremely beneficial for my future development as an aspiring Lawyer.”

Entrepreneurial Insights Class: Tom Stephenson, CCO of Zymergen

Author: Caitlyn Ward

Tom StephensonTom Stephenson

This semester in our Entrepreneurial Insights class we are welcoming speakers from all areas of the entrepreneurial world. Tom Stephenson, CCO of Zymergen, came to speak to us this past Friday for our first class. Zymergen is aiming to disrupt the petrochemical industry by developing products inspired by nature based on fermentation. Zymergen (pronounced ZY-merge-in), a combination of the Greek “zymology,” the study of fermentation, and “gen” for gene, is first targeting three major markets: electronic adhesives, home & health products and agriculture. Tom spoke about his journey leading to this current entrepreneurial venture, how Zymergen aims to disrupt the market and what it’s like to work in a startup.

After graduating from Wharton, Tom moved back to his native California where he started a self-car wash business. Though the business ultimately failed, Tom moved on to venture capital, followed by a 20-year career at McKinsey & Co. Drawing from a breadth of experience, he now leads commercialization at Zymergen. He shared passion and people make the best businesses, and to always ask yourself “Is the business I think I’m building the one I’m building,” an ode to building a team that will execute a winning idea.

Tom noted that small companies often offer the best opportunities to learn many different skills, and that he continues to learn from everyone at the company. When asked about how Zymergen decided which industries to target, he said market size and the development of molecules were important factors in the decision. With any company, however, though especially startups, it is important to be consistent and transparent on what is defined as progress and success. When trying to disrupt a trillion-dollar industry, progress and success are crucial. With nature on your side, they are certain.

EU-wide protection and support for whistle-blowers

Whistleblower 2018

(Unsplash, 2018)

This article is brought to you in association with the European Parliament.

Proposals to protect whistle-blowers, set up safe mechanisms for reporting breaches and measures against retaliation were adopted by the Legal Affairs Committee.

On Tuesday, Legal Affairs Committee MEPs approved draft legislation to guarantee that whistle-blowers in the EU can report breaches of EU law in the area of tax evasion, corruption, environmental protection and public health and safety, without fear of retaliation or intimidation. Legal Affairs MEPs agreed that the same protection measures must also apply to those assisting the reporting person, e.g. journalists.

Safe reporting mechanisms

To make sure that potential whistle-blowers feel safe and are aware of reporting channels, MEPs agreed that:

  • member states would be requested to ensure that private and public sectors put in place adequate internal and external reporting channels;
  • reporting avenues should ensure that the reporting person is notified that their report has been received within a week, while follow-up on the report should be received no later than two months after the report was received;
  • it should be up to the reporting person to choose the most appropriate channel to report, whether internal or external, depending on circumstances.

Prohibition against retaliation and support

The agreed text explicitly prohibits reprisals and member states would have to take necessary safeguards against retaliation towards whistle-blowers. MEPs also urge member states to provide information and advice free of charge as well as legal, financial and psychological support.

Rapporteur Virginie Roziere (S&D, FR) said: “Following recent big scandals, such as Luxleaks, and the great difficulties faced by whistle-blowers in Europe, this Directive protects individuals speaking out for the public good much better than before. Parliament has introduced significant improvements to the Commission’s text. The creation of a single and easily identifiable public authority in each Member State, which will provide free of charge confidential advice to those who intend to blow or have blown the whistle, together with legal and financial assistance, are major steps to make sure that we efficiently protect free speech”.

Next steps

The text was adopted by 22 votes to none against, with 1 abstention. The decision to enter into negotiations was approved with 22 votes, none against and 2 abstentions. Once plenary has endorsed the negotiating mandate, talks with EU ministers can start, to agree on the final shape of the legislation.

Whistle-blower protection is fragmented or only partial across member states, with only 10 EU countries (France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden and UK) providing comprehensive legal protection.

The European Commission’s legislative proposal follows on from the Council of Europe’s Recommendation on Protection of Whistle-blowers and the European Parliament’s resolution of 24 October 2017 on Legitimate measures to protect whistle-blowers.

A 2017 study carried out for the Commission estimated the loss of potential benefits due to a lack of whistle-blower protection, in public procurement alone, to be in the range of €5.8 to €9.6 billion each year for the EU as a whole.

Students run outdoors in a Run and Scream activity.Sure, DPA is important (even critical!) to health and learning outcomes, but it is also a lot of fun! How great is it to see students smiling, working and problem solving with others? And hearing all the laughter? So much is being experienced in those moments that it is hard to sum up all the holistic benefits.
But I bet at this point in the school year you are a little tapped out of ideas for quality DPA. Especially after many days of cold temperatures that forced staff and students to stay inside all day!
Let’s take a moment to explore a couple of our favourite activities that you and your students will have fun with. Worthwhile noting, you can do these activities on a ‘shoestring’ budget! Bring along all those moments of cooperation, problem solving and laughter.

Give each participant 3-5 clothespins. Attach these to a piece of their clothing (the Clothesline). Players move around the room using locomotion, such as hopping or galloping, to find a partner. Play rock, paper, scissors! The winner takes a clothespin from their opponent. Each participant completes a given non-locomotive activity before finding a new partner. Once a participant is out of clothespins, they can return to the teacher for more. The activity can continue for any period of time! Try challenging players to get as many clothespins as possible before a song ends.

With a deck of playing cards, students assign an activity from each component of fitness to each suit. (Cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, strength). For example, diamonds could equal jumping jacks. After shuffling, draw one card at a time and have students complete the activity. The number of repetitions to complete is the number on the card. ‘Face cards’ are equal to 10 repetitions and Aces are a ‘rest’ card. Check that the number of cards the students are completing is appropriate to their abilities. This ensures a fun and successful experience.
Students participate in a fun activity with scarves.Good physical activity experiences are crucial to physical activity participation later in life. Take the time to find or change activities to meet the needs of your students. Scaling activities to make them more or less challenging will go a long way to enjoying being active.
Embedding physical activity in our ‘everyday’ shows students that movement IS learning. It is a normal behaviour that supports a healthy active life.
For more DPA ideas, check out our resources like DPA Greatest Hits and our activity video series.

Have Courage And Be Kind: A Letter to My Little Ones

Just look at this crew!

They are my joy, they are my strength, they are my everything.  And of course beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, right? Well… then in that case, beauty must be bouncing off of the eyes of the guy who’s always lookin’ at us through that camera lens to take our picture.  Yup, my hubbie is always behind the camera keeping us together, keeping all these free birds in check, and dying to self everyday for us so that we can live on.  A whole lot-o-love going on full circle there, I’d say. …

We are indeed full of love in this house.  And we are often laughing and beaming with smiles when ya see us,  I gotta tell ya, though, we don’t just stumble upon joy.  Rather, we choose it.  We choose to not let the cards that have been dealt to our family swallow us up and rob these faces of the joy and the love that is still so available and present to us.  We just gotta stop and smell the roses once in a while, and take a minute to say “Hey, God, thanks for waking me up again today.” Something so simple as that, is a choice that makes a difference. That’s when the Big Guys sends down the graces. Without those graces, I’m a wet mop… soggy on the floor.

I recently took my crew to watch the newly released Cinderella in the theaters.  All I could say was, “WOW!”

How perfectly that movie mimicked so many moments in my life, and so many of all of our lives, I’m sure.  What’s more, it said so much of what I want to teach my children every day that I feel will allow them to be the loving, brave, and good people that I hope we are raising them to be.

have courage and be kind 2

That was just one of the many mottos, if you will,  that the poor Cinder-girl lived by; along with forgiveness without strings attached (one of the strongest and most powerful virtues to live by).  Cinderella was given, as a young child, one of the most difficult hands dealt to her, losing her mother whom she was very close, then soon her father, who both understood her like no other, only to live with a family of no faith, charity, or decency.  Yet, in all things, Cinderella kept her promise to her mother to “have courage and be kind“.  And taking it a step further, through forgiving the stepfamily that harmed her, she truly lived happily every after.

I found great inspiration, strength, and peace as I watched that movie alongside my daughters.  And have been waiting for just the right moment to write this letter to my children…

…to pass on similar words to them.  I share it with you as well, in the hopes that your family, too, could benefit…

…from a little courage and kindness

even miracles take a little time

I hope you know that not a morning, day or night has gone by that I haven’t given my every breath for you.  When I have been the sickest,  I never thought twice about getting up 2 hours early to try and “get it all out of the way” and take my meds early so that I could slap on some make up and a beanie or a silly wig before you awoke so that you could see my best foot forward.  Why?  Not because I didn’t give you the truth, but because you deserve to see me giving you all I’ve got.  And for YOU!  You deserve all I have and more.  And because I wanted to do that for you, it made me realize how much I needed you to see that good in ME.  You have been the  true gift and driving force in my fight in this battle all along.

thank you typewriter

When I first found out I was losing my hair…

We thought that’d be the end of us.  You guys hit the floor. But how quickly you bounced right back with a little dab of courage from the looks of my sweet, and brave friend, Angelle Albright, a fellow cancer survivor and friend with literally my same diagnosis.  When you saw her picture, with and without hair, and all the trendy styles she fashioned with her team over at Cheamobeanies, you so quickly changed your tune.  You kids had know idea how brave you were making me.   Brave enough for us all to take that same evening and turn it around and celebrate our diagnosis with a TEAM BUNA KICK OFF PARTY with the cousins at CHUCK E CHEESE!  Who does that?!?  We do!  I love y’all so much for that!

When I began my CHEMOTHERAPY ….

and became very very ill for the first 2 weeks of each round, leaving only 1 truly “good week” to celebrate and go out and have some fun.  You all were so delicate with me.  You did your best to stay on task with your daily schedules, following the little routines that I’d put on the fridge just before I had gotten sick, to help Grammie and Daddy follow.  You helped each other out with getting dressed and sorting laundry.  You kissed me on my balding forehead as I slept on the couch when you came home from school, and again even if I was still sleeping after dinner and when you were off to bed.  I tried my very best to rally up with fun wigs and silly songs in the mornings and goofy notes in your lunches to send you off on a good note in the mornings. I really tried.  You  forgave me for the absentee mom I’d been the day and night before.  You’re too little to have to go through all of this and to not have me involved, especially when you can see me right there so tired and sleepy, yet you did.  I truly believe that FAITH has taught you how to love me that way.  I’m so thankful it’s always been a part of our house, and when I needed it most, YOU, little ones, lived your faith in love to me. You FORGAVE ME.

When my HAIR WAS FALLING out and it was time to SHAVE MY HEAD all together…

You knew it was time. I had tried a few hair cut to prepare you and transition you from my extra long blond locks, so you knew it was coming.  When my pal, Regina, came over for our “Bye Bye Blondie party, you all wanted in on the action.  We put on “Just Dance” on the Wii downstairs, ready for a dance party, brought me a glass of wine, and once Reg started me out with that killer pink and blue Mohawk… it was “Love at first sight!”  You guys went from crying over losing your Barbie doll mama to wanting to keep this Rocker-chick forever!  We knew it wouldn’t last long, but why not keep it for a few days? When else will I have a Mohawk?  So we did!  Live in the moment, right?!  We had a kid-friendly rave party, dancing the night away with my Mohawk and continued to until it started falling out 3 days later. ….. And when it did, Reg retruned to finish the job.  Thank you for being so gentle with me.  Thank you , kids, for giving me the privacy to be alone with her to shed a few tears, and to take some deep breaths before I came down those stairs.  I’ll never forget you each slowly reaching your hand inside my beanie to first feel my head before I lifted the beanie off.  I wanted you to know that it was still a little “scruffy”.  (To protect the follicles, they suggested I not “bic” it right away.  So it’s patchy and awkward at first, yet better to feel that you took control of it than feeling it fall out on your pillow case and food all the time).  You each gently felt it, then asked me to remove it.  When you did, you didn’t look at me in disgust.  Instead, we asked you to draw a picture of what Mommy looked like.  You drew the most amazing pictures of big blue eyes,  big smiles,  us together hugging, and nothing but happiness and love.  To face you all, of all people, was a scary moment. For whatever reason, my diagnosis and my treatments haven’t been scary to me, but facing you all have been the hardest parts.  I’ve wanted to be the best mommy and the same beautiful mommy that you all have wanted me to be.  To be beautiful for my husband and my family, means more to me than anything.  And you showed me in that moment, that no matter what, I’m still your mommy.  And nothing can change my beauty.  My love for you and who I am …. IS MY BEAUTY.  You, my kiddos, taught me once again. Again… thank you.

Sidekick and I share the same blue eyes… she was all about pointing out that “that will never change”. She was also pretty pumped about styling some cool new ChemoBeanies for me, and she did, with Washitape in this pic. 😉

Sunshine, my fashionista, is so full of life and love and put as much of it as she could in this pic to show me that life will, indeed, go on. …And that she’ll make sure that “I would rock the bald look with some cool funky earrings and styles!” Notice each of her captions. She melts me all the time! So sincere.

This Dude is always looking out for me and taking care of me. He promises to always take care of me. Although I never was in a wheelchair, he said that if I need one, he’ll “always take me outside to see the birds and butterflies like you like, Mommy, and give you hugs while we play.” Love that boy.

This is clearly the work of a (then 3 year old)… so perfectly imperfect. I loooove this! She chose my favorite color, blue, and A LOT of it on my face! 🙂 Once again, giving emphasis that our eyes are both blue and that we can still be twins that way. The two of us, normally, are the only blondes, so losing my blonde hair was tough for her. BUT … matching blue eyes became our big “thing”!

When it was time for my BIG SURGERY and for Mommy to go away for a few nights…

… no one was happy about that, but you helped me pack my bags, and all assumed roles in the house to make the house run as smooth as could be.  You even showed me how you’d do it the week before with “get ready for bed” and “get ready for school” lists.  You worked as a team and Grammie was oh so appreciative.  Even the dog still got her lovin from you.  Talk about a bunch of mini-mommies and one man of the house still on duty!  You came to visit with books to read me (Shel Silverstein, a definite fave of mine) and brightend my day, my room, and the faces of all of my doctors and nurses as well!  You were very gentle with me when I came home, always careful to bring me pillows to surround me like a cocoon so that no body could bump me during night time wrestling! You even took it easy on me when I wanted to join in “Just Dance” but looked ridiculous with no right arm movements, no jumping, and lots of pain meds.  But, hey, points for trying, right? 🙂 Thanks for not making fun, guys!

you make me so happy

Radiation came and you were ready to play along…

…you came to Target to pick out fun t-shirts for me to wear to add to our already received gift of the HULK SMASH shirt (Thanks, Kim Wright!) to get the ball rollin’.  When all of our spirits were starting to get down, we all pulled together and went to our family love language….”costumes” and “razzle dazzle”, and that’s what we did!  We Hulk Smashed it, SNL Lazer cat-ified it, We Rocked it, and we G.I. Janed it.  And in the end, burnt, sore, tired, and just plain “done”,  you all came for my final day of this leg of treatment to once again, show me what I was fighting for.  I’m fighting for YOU! I’m fighting for my life to live with YOU.  Therefore, you earned every right to ring that dang BELL!!! I was so proud of you that day.  To see YOU so proud of ME was a big deal.  But I was the proudest.  Because you did it, too.  You, my family, are weathering this storm like no other.   So when you asked me, “Mommy can we ring it to? My response… (don’t repeat this guys , but…)

hell yeah

And NOW??  Now, as we continue on with the rest of our journey of CHEMO every 21 days through summer and 2 MORE SURGERIES to boot…

…I’m going to ask you, once again, Kiddos, to be brave.  I would never ask you to do anything if I didn’t think you could.  I also know that God never leaves us stranded without the graces to get through tough times when we get stuck with them.  Keep praying with Daddy and I every night.  When I get sleepy, keep praying with Daddy.  And in your bed at night before you go to sleep.  When you grow up, pray with your families, too.  Some of the coolest moments have been when I’ve sleeping on the couch, only to awake to your sweet singing songs of Godspell (the play we just worked on together) or kneeling all together, with candles lit, praying with all of our might for friends that we knew needed all of our prayers at that very moment#pray4paul, #livelikepaul, #pray4ben #nosurrender, #pray4babywillis  You guys are #PrayerNinjaWarriors!  Again, you prove, that even in the darkest moments, God can shine His light.

god is good all the time

You see, kiddos, it’s not about me.  I’m no INSPIRATION.  YOU ARE. YOU ALL ARE LIKE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN IN OZ.

I hope that everyone who reads this blog knows that YOU, my children, my family, are the impetus behind all that I say, that I write, and that I do.  You are why I go to each and every appointment, you are why I take my medicine, you are why I will complete every single leg of every treatment they say I need to keep me here with you.  In fact, you are my best medicine. I loved you far before I ever knew you, and wanted to be your Mommy since way before I was old enough to be one.

before you were conceived...

When I first became a Mom, I had no idea what I was doing, but when those big blue eyes of yours looked up at me, Sidekick, I knew I had to get my self together. We were in this together, you were my Sidekick, like Batman and Robin.  No crying, no freaking out. We were a team.  And once we added on Sunshine, then the crazy Dude wild man, we just increased our superhero forces and went with it.  Our clan kept growing (Before we knew it we had Firecracker and Snuggles and our van was full!), our life kept getting crazier, and sometimes, you guys saw it…. I got pretty upset.  But whenever I have been worried or frazzled from whatever has been on my plate, you’ve asked, “What’s the matter, Mommy?” (In nothing flat, you saw it in my eyes and you asked.  Because you all have a radar on me. Crazy!)  And I just respond,  “Mommy’s just tired, but it’s gonna be ok. Every little thing is gonna be alright.  I just need a minute.”  And I do.  I go take a bath, or take a step outside, whaterver I need to cool off, and I’m back.   Kiddos, we’ve got this, because God’s got us. You guys are ALWAYS at my side, giving me whatever push I need to keep going, just like I do for you.  We’re a team.

*Like I’ve always taught you,  no fear.  No worries.  It’s gonna be alright.  Deep breath.

*When life gets yucky and we’re having a bad day, that’s ok.  But step back for a minute and break away for a bit.  Don’t let someone else get the tough end of your bad day. BE KIND.

*When life just seems “too much”, take a deep breath.  One step at a time.  Don’t look forward, Don’t look back.  You can do it, whatever it is. No matter how big or how small.  HAVE COURAGE.

*When you feel like it’s just not fair, or that others have hurt you.  It may not be fair.  But that’s not what’s important. Who YOU are, and how you face the music is what’s important.  How you LOVE is what’s important.  How you live out your faith is what’s important. Don’t live according to others or wait for others to seek your forgiveness, for your heart to move on.  Much like Cinderella… FORGIVE NOW; yet remember… you don’t have to stick around to get hurt again.

there is kindness there is goodness... magic

“The greatest risk is to be seen as who you truly are.” – Cinderella

Last but not least, you know that I’ve had a thousand different looks these past few months.  But, funny enough, you don’t seem all too surprised!  I think you know me best to know that that’s the real me.  I love to play, I love to dance, and I love to dress up (And I don’t mean fancy. The goofier the more comfortable I am, honestly).  Some of the scariest moments for me have been the first times walking in to church, holding your hands, while Daddy parked the car, and no one had yet seen me with a beanie and no hair, or now without a beanie anymore and bleach blonde buzz short hair.  Each time I’ve hesitated before opening those big church doors.  “Will they all stare at me? What will these people think?  What do all the people from work think of me that might look at my blog and see I don’t look like that ‘put together Barbie doll’ girl that they hired for the job?  Blah blah blah…”  And then comes that same glance that you all give as if to say again, “What’s the matter, Mommy?”

 That’s when it always hits me, “Nothing. Nothing’s the matter. I’m fine.  Every little thing is gonna be alright. “

Because it is.  And who cares.  It’s just hair.  This is me.  This is truly truly me.  And it’s a risk worth taking!  Again… It feels soo good.

what if you fly

I love you, Kiddos.  I always have, and I always will.

 Sometimes we’re stumbling. Sometimes we’re falling.  But sometimes we’re spreading our wings and flying!

I’ll do it all over, and over, and over again… FOR YOU!

love mommy

And hugs right back to you, too, Diane!

  4. Have followed all your entries, journeying along with you, cheering and praying, wondering if you are going to do another tee shirt fundraiser…..

    • oh thank you so much, Alma! ya know, we were sure we had finished our last t-shirt campaign. but lo and behold we are so blessed that so many people have asked for more t-shirts! I’m stunned!

    • As are you. My kids love you, I love you… heck, who doesn’t?!? I’m so glad to know you and sooooo happy to have my lil’ Firecracker in your classroom this year. It takes a spunky one like you to appreciate and love that spunky lil love bug. You’re the best!

  7. I cannot even begin to tell you how much your writing and sharing of this journey moves me and amazes me! You are so brave and so faith filled. You have been so positive about this whole experience and have taught so many others,including me, how to handle a problem, no matter how big, with courage and grace!! You are a true light and blessing in this often dark world. Your love for God and your precious family is so beautiful and so true. I am awed that you choose to keep finding the silver linings. I would NEVER be able to handle this with anywhere near (if any at all!) the grace you have as I am a glass half empty (and a hole in it!) kind of person. You are GOING to win this battle! I HAVE NO DOUBT! Thank you for sharing so many personal and intimate details of your journey! This letter to your children made me tear up and smile! Truly beautiful….and that is you….truly beautiful outside and inside!!

    • Gail, thank you so much for reading and for sharing with me as well. I am not handling this so strong and gracefully on my own, but only because of grace and support, I’m babystepping through it all. Thanks for the prayers that give me the grace to do so. Your words mean more than one would ever think. God bless you

News | Sep 28, 2020

More than 300 organisations have signed an open letter calling for a social housing construction boom, similar to that of the post-war era

The Everybody’s Home campaign is pushing for Australia to build 30,000 new homes in the next four years, not only to deliver families much needed secure housing but to also in a bid to create some 18,000 jobs.

The broad coalition of signatories includes prominent national bodies, such as ACOSS, the Community Housing Industry Association (CHIA), Anglicare Australia, YWCA Australia, ACTU, Country Women’s Association, Mission Australia, St Vincent de Paul Society, the Salvation Army, National Shelter and Homelessness Australia. Several city councils from across the country have also signed on, including Lismore City Council, City of Greater Dandenong, Cardinia Shire Council and Strathfield Council.

“Australia can kill two birds with one stone if it directs some of the massive stimulus spending at the coming budget to social housing,” said Kate Colvin, national spokesperson of the Everybody’s Home campaign.

“The idea behind the Everybody’s Home call for a social housing construction boom is to solve two crises emerging from the COVID recession: unemployment and homelessness.”

The open letter calls on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to commit significant new investment in social housing.

Spending on social housing and homelessness has been largely static for the past decade, at an annual rate of about $1.5 billion.

Australia needs to build some 433,400 new homes to cover the current shortfall.

“For every dollar spent on social housing, there is a $1.30 boost to GDP. Social housing can be a powerful stimulus for our economy, while delivering much needed infrastructure.”

“Australia has a track record of using social housing as a stimulatory measure. Post World War II social housing construction helped fuel our economic recovery and house our growing population. Following Cyclone Tracy and during the Global Financial Crisis federal government investment in social housing helped local economies rebuild.

“It wouldn’t just be building new homes, it would be creating the building blocks of our economic recovery.”

Stacey Slater will realise she’s seriously ill in next week’s EastEnders – but is it too late?

Martin tries to deal with Stacey’s psychosis, but thinking it’s a severe bout of bipolar, he soon realises she needs help fast when things escalate.

The week begins with Stacey’s irrational behaviour leaving her concerned and paranoid. Kyle turns up to see Stacey but Martin refuses to let him into their flat, not realising that Stacey is watching from the window.

When he lies about who was at the door, Stacey begins feeling panicked and betrayed, worrying that Martin is out to hurt her and Arthur.

Stacey takes drastic action and as Kat witnesses her behaviour first hand, will it finally all click that something is seriously wrong?

Jean and Ollie later arrive on the Square and Jean is horrified to see what is happening to her daughter, especially when she starts telling everyone Kyle is the Devil and has been sent to hurt Arthur.

Stacey seeks refuge with Kush and Shabnam but when she then erupts with more concerning paranoia, including about Martin being in league with the Devil, can they cope with having her around?

Seeing her daughter is clearly suffering, Jean takes Martin aside and tells him off for not getting help sooner. But an adamant Martin says he wants Stacey to realise she’s not well for herself rather than force her to seek help.

Martin talks to Stacey
Martin tries to reason with Stacey

Jean encourages him to call a doctor but Martin insists on speaking to Stacey first. Encouraging Stacey to look him in the eye, Martin finds a lucid moment when Stacey asks if she’s ill. Martin convinces Stacey the hospital is the only place she can go with Arthur that’s safe and she allows him to embrace her.

As Stacey packs, Jean fears that Arthur might not be able to stay with her and encourages Martin to be honest but Jean soon realises getting her to the hospital is more important. As she and Martin face the challenge of getting Stacey through the hospital doors, will they finally get her the help that she needs?

And will Stacey admit herself? Or will she have to be sectioned?

Whatever happens next, the nightmare is clearly far from over for everyone concerned.

EUFOSSA contributes to the open source story

Have you ever thought about the things you get for free? Maybe you have this feeling when visiting the doctor, possibly when looking at the trees or flowers in the park or being at an event in the city center, where you didn’t have to buy a ticket. The feeling of receiving things for free you can have by downloading the new version of your favourite application on your mobile phone as well.

The question is, which of these things above were really free?

Seriously, none of them.

To pay or to support

Some concepts we pay in a compulsory way by taxes, others can be organized by non-governmental organizations (NGO) supported by people who believe in the idea the NGO is presenting.

We support things such as historical building renovations, support for starting artists or environmental solutions to improve the way we live… all because we are persuaded it matters. The support is not only moral, because nobody can pay bills from it. The financial support contributes as well. On the other hand, you get something back from your contribution (the building is renovated, the artist becomes successful etc).

The story of the open source product is similar. You are instantly on the way to find support for your idea with the aim of bringing a complementary and synergic effect on an expert level.

Bug bounty

On 1st of March 2019 we welcome and support the start of EUFOSSA 2, which is a bug bounty program. Ethical hacking is an atypical way of improving software, even for many customers, but very useful. The main benefit of this method is the value you get from the support which leads to a significantly better quality in development. Although people are expecting quality out of the box, no one wants to pay directly for it. It’s very expensive. Ethical hackers help to measure and improve.

That is the reason why we appreciate the EUFOSSA approach investing to the system with values like security and organization considering it as important and useful.

To incentivize the hackers, if they find something in the midPoint software they will earn 58 000 EUR from 1st March till 15th August 2019 through the Bug bounty program.

Automatic Row Height For Merged Cells with Text Wrap

by Allen Wyatt
(last updated February 23, 2019)

Ernie asked if there was a way for Excel to automatically adjust the row height in cells that are merged. He points out that if a cell is set with text wrapping turned on, that Excel automatically adjusts the row height for the cell so that all the wrapped text is visible. If you subsequently merge that cell with an adjacent cell, even if the adjacent cell has text wrapping turned on, then the resulting merged cell's row height is not adjusted so that all the text is visible.

Exactly why Excel does this is unclear, but there is no intrinsic way around it—Excel just does it. At first blush you may think that you can use the AutoFit feature (Format | Rows | AutoFit) to adjust the height of the row in which the merged cell is located. Doing so, however, apparently has no affect—AutoFit seems to completely ignore merged cells in doing its magic.

One way around the problem is to use a macro to set the row height to the desired height. A good approach is to have the macro determine the column width of the merged area, unmerge the columns, set the first column to that width, and determine the row height required to AutoFit it. The macro could then reset the column width, merge the cells, and set the new row height. (If that sounds like a lot, it is. Such a macro wouldn't be that trivial to create.)

If you don't want to use a macro, you can fool Excel into setting the row height properly. You do this by using a separate column that is created for the express purpose of setting row height. The process is described in the following general steps. (These steps assume you are merging the cells in columns A and B, and that your data table only includes columns A through K.)

  1. Merge the cells in columns A and B as desired.
  2. In column Z (or some other column outside of your data table range, but not immediately adjacent), put a simple formula reference to column A, as in =A1.
  3. Ensure the text formatting of column Z is exactly the same as in the merged cell, with the exception of merging. (Column Z should not be merged with anything, nor should it be marked as merged.)
  4. Make the width of column Z slightly narrower than the combined width of columns A and B.

The effect of these steps is that Excel will set the row height based upon the contents of column Z, which just happen to match the contents of the merged cell in columns A and B. This, of course, allows all the text in the merged cell to be visible. The only thing you will need to do is make sure that you don't print the contents of column Z when you do your printing.

I love the tip for "tricking" Excel to format row height with merged cells + word wrap. Problem... I have a spreadsheet where I needed to merge row-cells across 40 columns, creating wide merged cells for taking cumulative notes over multiple meetings. The text in the cell cuts off at about column 30 with the "column Z" trick, thus no word-wrap.

It's hard to explain this, but simple if you see it... I'm happy to send the spreadsheet to talk thru the problem with someone who thinks they can help. My e-mail is:

I have a slightly different approach on this problem: in an empty cell on the same row (no matter wether it's inside or outside of data table range), I put just an Alt+Enter. I only ensure the font size in that cell is the same as in the merged cell. So I don't care if that cell gets printed. Just make sure the new cell does not affect the print area, if it's outside of data table range.

Thailand Tips

There were some things I was expecting from being a tourist in a country where I am blatantly an outsider. I expected a lot more staring or general attention for being a tall, white, female in Asia than I’ve gotten which is great! And I was also expecting there to be more indoor refuge from the heat (literally everything is outside) which is less great but manageable. Here are some expectation-setting tips for if and when you are preparing for a trip to Thailand.

1) Cash monies. As in have some. Or a lot. Depending on how long you’re staying. But ATMs charge you a flat charge of 220 baht which is about the cost of a meal or $5. It might not feel like a lot when you’re buying a meal but it feels a lot like extortion when you’re withdrawing money. And everywhere is cash only. I think I used my credit card once in 2 weeks in Thailand. And the places that do take it, charge a 3% fee to use it (which honestly might be less than the 220 baht cash fee but the more you know!). It’s hard to know how much cash you will need but things in Thailand are cheap. If you’re thinking just food, my hotel included breakfast so was spending maximum $20 a day on lunch, dinner, water, ice cream and beer. And elephant pants.

2) Embrace the power of massage. I think it’s fairly well known that Thailand and massaging go together like peas and carrots (if you’re scratching your head at this reference, we can’t be friends). At first, I was like “naaaah, I don’t need to have a massage every day, I have one like annually for my birthday back home, one is pleeeenty”. When they cost $10, one is not plenty. In fact, daily is pretty friggin’ awesome. When on Koh Samui, we headed for a chain endearingly called My Friends where everything is orange and yellow and you’re lined up next to each other on curtained beds while some solid 60’s hits play in the background. Great massage, not the most relaxing atmosphere but still managed to pass out. In Chiang Mai, I went based on Google ratings but there are so many massage places, you’ll find them everywhere and seem to all be good. I highly recommend Time to Massage which has more of a western spa feel with instrumental music and you undress behind a curtain but I also had an amaaaazing foot, neck and shoulder massage at Relax & Enjoy where I also fell asleep. These cost between 220-400 baht.

3) Tipping. Not a city in China, or in Thailand for that matter (so far as I know). I’m honestly not sure what the ettiquette is officially on this. I did tip sometimes to my massage friends and did about 10% and they never seemed annoyed or disappointed in the amount. But I also didn’t tip on eating out and was equally not met with scorn so hard to say. Since things are so cheap and tourism is down due to Coronavirus, any extra I’m sure would be appreciated. But I’d also heard that too much tipping is also considered rude so stuck with 10-15%.

4) Haggle. My Malaysian friend told me that you should always negotiate price in markets and they will single you out for being not Asian. I believe tourists will be singled out everywhere but is mostly just the price you pay for being a tourist. It’s good business sense on their part! And I am terrible at negotiation. Mostly because I feel like I have something to lose, they have something I want. But in the markets, if you’re going for a souvenir, most likely there’s another stall with exactly the same thing so they would lose your business if they say no to your price. So I just kept in mind the maximum price I would pay for something and then if it was over that, suggest a number. And sometimes, all you have to do is look hesitant and they just throw out 10% off. Like I would’ve paid 100% but 90% is cool too.

5) Toilets. They have them! And they’re even western style. But they often don’t have toilet paper and when they do, I’ve seen a lot of signs indicating you are not meant to flush it. Forces of habits won out but keep an eye out, my guess is this has something to do with their sewer systems. Other fun fact, if you can’t find the flusher and there’s a bucket of water with a ladle in it next to the toilet…it’s a gravity flusher so pour some water in when you’re done to ‘flush’. Also, the featured photo for this post is the ‘Golden Throne’ which is in fact the lovely (and complete with TP) toilet facilities at the White Temple in Chiang Rai.

What are some things that have surprised you when traveling abroad? Any horror stories of etiquette gone terribly awry??

HELP! We are running out of disk space on our drive where the QC Project repositories are written.

  • Questions
  • HELP! We are running out of disk space on our drive where the QC Project repositories are written.
Question ID: 106546

We have an old instance of QC and our "D" drive where our QC repository is appears to be running low on disk space. Can we direct the attachments and other repository items to go to a different drive on this server or to a drive on a different server? What about doing a cleanup to delete old attachments?

Since there is no easy way to determine which repository files are not needed so you can do some sort of ''cleanup'', it is not recommended. Also, in ALL current versions of QC (11 and later) the repository is compressed and encrypted (optimized), so you can't even make any sense of the file names anyway.

Generally, people just add disk space or a new drive. QC does NOT like ''mapped'' drives, by the way, but you *could* use a network location.
You can change your BASE REPOSITORY PATH in Site Admin parameters so that NEW projects will have repositories there, but be careful in QC11.52 and later- see this post:

If you have one or two projects with large repositories, it is possible to MOVE the repository for a project without changing the BASE REPOSITORY PATH. This will effectively ''split'' your repository location out to an additional location for a few projects, AND you need good notes about having done this when it comes to re-combining all repositories (best practice) when you upgrade in the future to a NEW server with sufficient disk space for the ever-GROWING repository.

To accomplish the split;
Do a REMOVE for a project (temporarily taking it out of your project list), then you can MOVE the entire project repository (Use a tool that can do a verify of the copy to make sure you copied ALL files and that they are IDENTICAL) to a different drive (C, E, or ''\ (computer) (shared-path)'' for instance - usually keeping the same path except for drive letter), then EDIT the project's DBID.XML file in that resulting repository folder so that it's ''PROJECT_DIRECTORY'' tag has the NEW path, then RESTORE the project.

This will result in freeing up disk space used by your project on drive D and now using space on the other drive.

BE CAREFUL later when you upgrade as all of your projects will not be using the SAME relative repository path -- just make sure to copy them all into the NEW server's repository path and you can change the ''Project_directory'' path again at upgrade time.

Good luck!
