Ain't Got Time to Die

Author: Carole Neal

Source: articleage.com



It's 8:00 a.m. in the central design office at Rifton, a New York firm that manufactures equipment for the disabled, and Carole Neal is at her computer, reviewing assembly documentation and revising drawings of parts for new products. Above the desk is a large painting of a beach, and a colorful sign: "Carpe diem!" For her the slogan (Latin for "seize the day") has special meaning: she often wonders how many more she'll have. Three years ago, this mother of three was diagnosed with breast cancer. A first round of chemotherapy resulted in remission, but now the cancer has returned—with a vengeance.
Plough: What was your first reaction on learning that you had this thing?
Carole: I guess from the very beginning, before anything, I was just terrified, because I have always been terribly afraid of death. But that only lasted a few minutes after I heard the diagnosis. In fact, I felt, free face painting designs , somehow, free face painting designs , relieved—I don't know why. Maybe it's because I had always been afraid of dying, and all of a sudden there it was—cancer—and I didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Sure, I've gone to pieces over it since then. After the first bout of chemo, I was sitting there and I felt this lump under my arm, and I just fell apart. I guess I still hadn't really faced the possibility of terminal cancer, not at that, free face painting designs , point anyway …
This is going to sound really dumb, but it's the truth: I've been almost frantically afraid of cancer all my life, but then when it came, right there, square in my face, I wasn't afraid anymore. I don't like to use the word "gift" because it's overused, but that really was a gift. My husband, Dale, and I looked at each other, and we said, "Here it is. Now we're in God's hands." Of course, we're in his hands the whole time. Where else—what better place—could we be?
Dale even joked about it when we found out that I had cancer; he said it would be a terrible shame if I died of something else, since I had worried so much about cancer all my life.
Plough: How has your attitude toward time changed? Has it changed?
Carole:, free face painting designs , Well, you saw that "carpe diem" thing above my desk. I guess it sort of expresses what I've been feeling more each day.
You know, we spend a lot of our time dealing with petty problems and thinking petty thoughts, and I've come to see that that just has to go. There's anger, envy, every, free face painting designs , kind of emotion you have in a relationship with anybody. People hurt each other, and get hurt over little things. I've come to see that it's stupid—just plain stupid—to waste time on those things.
With cancer you begin to realize that you have to make use of every day; each minute becomes precious. Dale and I have talked about how we've probably wasted years of our lives carrying little grudges and things that we couldn't work out, or struggling to find enough humility to confront a problem, or apologize, or whatever.
The present moment—the time we have right now—is the same for you as it is for me or for anyone. It's all we have. We tend to think, "I'll do that tomorrow;" or "I'll wait till I have time to follow through on that …" But we actually don't have tomorrow. None of us does. We only have today and we only have each other—the person next to us, the person we live with or work with. Seeing this has, free face painting designs , been a tremendous challenge, free face painting designs , to me.
Each of us has a life to live—and once we've found it, we ought to live for it. We need to be ready to give up everything—our plans, absolutely everything, in order to go after what we've found. I'm not saying we all have to be intense or energetic. It's not a personality thing. But to really live demands all our fire…
Plough: Where do you draw the line between accepting the fact, free face painting designs , that you have cancer, and fighting it off?
Carole: Well, obviously you don't just lie down once you know you've got cancer. You don't just fold up and crash. You fight to keep living with everything you have. That's why I thought chemotherapy was the answer at first, because I felt I was really fighting the disease with everything I had. I was going to take the most explosive kind, you know—whatever it took.
Then I found out it was a hopeless cancer; that people just didn't survive it. I think they told me the survival rate was basically nil, 1 to, free face painting designs , 99. But I hadn't asked, and I didn't care. I already knew from my sisters' death [of the same cancer] that the statistics were pretty bleak. That's when I said, "Forget the numbers. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in bed, sick and vomiting and everything else. I'm going to live with everything I've got."
Plough: So it's more about living with cancer, than dying of it?
Carole: Yes. That's exactly where it's at. And I think that's why I just can't handle these sweet songs that are sometimes sung around the dying or seriously ill. I'm not saying I prefer silly, superficial stuff, but I do love Mary Poppins, piano music from the 1940s, Ray Charles, black Gospel music …
I'll be honest: when "the time comes," I hope no one starts singing those hymns about floating around in heaven. I'd think I was already descending into my grave. You know, the words of those songs may be deep, but for some reason, hearing them sung reminds me of all the most depressing things in life. I know it shouldn't be that way, but it is … I need energy, strength for the fight. The fight for life. And I can get that straight from the Gospels.
Dale and I start each day by reading the Gospels; we've read them over and over and over during the past few, free face painting designs , years,, free face painting designs , and Jesus—this most radical, revolutionary lover of life—absolutely blows my mind every time I read his words. He pulls me to where I want to be, in life or in death. He had this unheard-of compassion for the weak and sinful, yet he shouted at the strong and powerful (though he loved them as well), and he had a deep reverence for God, his father, our father. But he wasn't pious. I'll bet he had a whale of a time in everything, free face painting designs , he did.
Now, you're going to think this is weird, but to me the battle has been like an adventure, the adventure of my life: the necessity of fighting something, free face painting designs , that is absolutely deadly. I felt from the beginning that I wasn't going to let any part of this disease take me over. And I didn't want to hear about suffering; I didn't want to know about dying; I didn't want to read about heaven and angels and all that kind of thing.
Again, in reading through the Gospels, I feel I've gotten a really good picture of Jesus. To me, that is where life is. Jesus fought everything, and did and said just what he felt, straight out. He loved everyone without reservation: the rich and the poor, everyone. And at the same time he tackled people so vigorously when they sinned—with compassion, but incredible straightforwardness. Not that I could ever do that. But that's how I've wanted to live my life, with that kind of fervor.
Plough: Have you thought much about the actual day of your, free face painting designs , death?
Carole: Yeah, I guess so. It's really the thing that scares me the most. It depresses the heck out of me to think of everybody standing around singing and looking all morbid or something. I don't know; I guess every death is different. I hope there's lots of basketball on the court outside, free face painting designs , my window when I go, and some hefty music coming up from Ruben's corner downstairs. Thank heaven we're all different, and I hope we can allow each other to experience death in different ways, just like we all look at life in different ways, and run with that.
Now, about the day I die: each one of us has to die. I guess it seems more significant, more pointed when somebody is dying at a younger age than you'd think they should, but it's part of life. So I die today;, free face painting designs , somebody else dies thirty years down the road.
I guess I've been hit more and more by the fact that each day is all I have. I can remember yesterday, but I can't relive yesterday, and I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. All I have is just right now.
Yesterday I didn't think I was going to live another day, and the doctors and my family didn't think so either. Today I don't feel that close to death. But that's what is so exciting, because it forces you to live in the right-now, in the present. It might seem crazy that I'm still coming, free face painting designs , here to the office every morning, but you have no idea how much it means to me. At work I run into all the people I love. I don't want, free face painting designs , to be at home staring at four walls—I want to be around people, joking and laughing and sometimes crying too. I definitely couldn't stand being alone in bed.
You know, ever since I was a child I've felt that hell—if you can define it—is separation, isolation, free face painting designs , . Being cut, free face painting designs , off, being alone. Not feeling connected with others. But it's odd: just during the times when I've felt most alone, I've sensed the power and strength of the community as it prays for those who are sick or weak or struggling, and I've felt carried by those prayers and that love.
Plough: What advice would you have for the family of a dying person,, free face painting designs , or for caregivers? You don't want to be alone, or in a hospital, but you also don't want to be surrounded by mourners.
Carole: I don't have, free face painting designs , any advice for anybody. I only know what I wish for myself. And I'm leery of any emphasis on the hereafter, on some other world that we really don't know anything about. Even if you read and read and read, you still won't really know anything, free face painting designs , about it. The best way to face death, I think, is to live. I guess I do ask God each day what he would have me do today, and I try to do it. But you know, you can get so enthralled in a prayer, and then the next minute you'll go out and have a heated argument with someone. It's terrible! So I say, forget the holy, free face painting designs , prayers. Of course, I do hope to follow God's will in my life. I do wish for it.
I don't know how to say it … eternity sometimes seems very close. Yesterday I was really discouraged—I've hardly ever had a day like that. I was thinking, free face painting designs , how much I'd miss Dale and the children, and wondering what it would be like to be separated form them. Then Dale said that the closest we'll ever be is when we're all together in eternity. That brought me so much peace and so much joy, when I thought about it, that I could just like back, and I asked God, "Please take me now," because I had had such a wonderful, happy thought.
Plough: But he didn't. And today you're at work.
Carole: Yeah, shucks, I thought I was going to go yesterday! I could hardly lift my head, and I was getting down, but then I said to myself, "I'm not going to give into this. I want to be with the people I love." So that's what I did today. I got up at six and took a shower, and invited a child from the neighbors over to breakfast. It's wonderful to be able to live just as if you're going to keep going. I guess that's the advice I'd give anybody: to go on a long as you can, in whatever way you can.

Teachers: Are You Still Using Yesterday's Teacher Training to Manage Today's Difficult Student

Author: Ruth Wells

Source: articleage.com



Teachers, when you received your training to teach, the world, face painting examples kids , probably looked much different. Guns meant water pistols and gangs meant West Side Story.
Here is a test to see if your skills have kept up with the changes in our kids. If you discover that you are more prepared to work with Beaver Cleaver than Beavis and Butthead, then consider coming to our Problem Student Problem-Solver professional development training workshop or ordering, face painting examples kids , some of our books and tapes. Our resources can turbo-charge your skills to fit contemporary kids.
The answers, face painting examples kids , are shown below and at the bottom, you can also rate your skills for working with today's youth and children.
** 1. Who is the hardest-to-manage, most potentially violent kid, and how must you work with them differently than everybody else?
**** Bonus Question:, face painting examples kids , If you work with this hardest- to-manage child using the same approaches you use with everyone else, what is likely to happen?
** 2. There may be just 3 major ways that kids can respond to adult directions. Name the 3 ways.
**** Bonus Question: What is the only effective way, face painting examples kids , to get children to comply with adult directions?
** 3. Name the student most likely to drop out.
**** Bonus Question: What other problems will this child quite likely face?
** 4. Who are the kids at, face painting examples kids , highest risk of extreme violence?
**** Bonus Question: Why do you work differently with each of these kids?
** 5. Other than violence prevention, name the single most important school, face painting examples kids , readiness skill to teach to students. (Hint: Most schools don't have a formal plan to teach it, but they all require it)
**** Bonus Question: When is the time to teach this skill?
ANSWERS!!
1. CONDUCT DISORDERS. Conduct disorder is a mental health term that essentially means that the child is sociopathic. While you can continue to successfully use relationship-based, face painting examples kids , approaches with any other child, these methods almost inevitably flop with conduct disorders who, by definition, can't relate normally to others.
Bonus Question: If you use conventional , face painting examples kids , relationship-based approaches with conduct disorders, it conveys to them that you do not understand them. It may be close to painting a target on your chest. Actions that are normally appropriate under some circumstances, such as giving one more chance, can be dangerous even disastrous with conduct disorders. If you do not know this child backwards and forwards, you may lack key tools to ensure your safety and the safety of other children.
2. The child can become OPPOSITIONAL. The child can CAPTIULATE if coerced to do so. The child can comply: ACCEPTANCE.
Bonus Question: Acceptance is really the only way to gain compliance. Power- struggling with oppositional kids means everyone loses especially you as no adult ever wins a power struggle with a kid. If you must hassle and harass a kid into capitulating, that is not a positive way of interacting with others that you want the child to emulate as it will normally not work, face painting examples kids , in the world. Plus, imagine the harm you might do hassling a troubled child by coercing compliance from them. Acceptance is the standard that works everywhere and won't damage even a very vulnerable child while gaining their compliance.
3. TEEN MOMS
Bonus Question: Teen moms also have the highest risk of poverty, going on welfare and never getting off of welfare when compared to anyone else. Shouldn't everyone know who is the one child at highest risk of dropping out and be aware of the potential additional litany of woes?
4. CONDUCT DISORDERS, THOUGHT DISORDERS, EXTREMELY DEPRESSED , face painting examples kids , KIDS
Bonus Question: Each of these 3 children needs a very different kind of help. For example, the thought-disordered child might be able to benefit tremendously from medication, while there is no medicine for conduct disorders. This means that to best prevent extreme violence, you must understand how to work with different kids very differently.
5. ATTENDANCE If the student isn't in your classroom, you can't work your magic on them Bonus Question: Day 1 of school. It's that important.
SCORING: (Score 1 point for each question or bonus question)
8-10 You're READY for even the "South Park" kids!
5-8 You're DUE for a Training Update!
0-4 You're OVERDUE for a Training Update!

Split Personality - A Myth or a Reality?

Author: Sanjeev Sharma

Source: articleage.com



Introduction
In this world today, there are a lot of unbelievable diseases. One of them is the disease of human's mind, and a split personality is counted as one of the disease. Not many of people around the world believe if this disease really exists or not, or they rather think that the person is acting.
I was on my way from Bangalore to Mumbai and on the way, as I was interacting with one person and suddenly we got this topic, "Split Personalities" and started discussing about it.
When I was in collage, I had one very good friend, by name Mr. T. Kiran Kumar. The uniqueness of our relation was our compatibility and depth of understanding. If we are with kids,, face painting examples kids , or classmates or elderly people or uneducated people or females or highly intellectuals, how, face painting examples kids , we will behave, was purely on the type of circle or group we were into. Believe me, our attitude, approach, behavior, and the way to react to a situation was based on the type of group we were into. Does that mean that we were having split personalities? If that is the case then all of us are having split personalities. We behave differently with our family members, with our friends, our spouse, and unknown people, right? Lets see.
Let us understand the term "Split, face painting examples kids , Personality".
Definition of Split Personality: "A relatively rare dissociative disorder in which the usual integrity of the personality breaks down and two or more independent personalities emerge".
Explanation: There is no category or phenomenon in psychiatry called split personality. The term is commonly used in popular language to indicate a contradictory or drastically and dramatically alternating type of behavior of the"Jekyll and Hyde" type. It is often confused with the medical illness of schizophrenia because the etymology of the latter (from the Greek schizein, to split + phren, mind) suggests, misleadingly, that schizophrenia is a type of split personality. In schizophrenia, however, the splitting is within one single personality as the individual's thoughts, feelings and emotions are seriously and confusingly disconnected from each other in a chaotic and random fashion. Schizophrenic individuals, far from having split or multiple personalities, actually have a great struggle maintaining the coherence and integrity of even a single self.
Before, face painting examples kids , proceeding further lets try and understand as what do be mean by term "Personality".
HUMAN PERSONALITY
THERE are three distinct meanings for the term "personality," two of them general and popular and the third technical and philosophical. The first and most general meaning is that personality is the sum of the characteristics,, face painting examples kids , which make up physical and mental, face painting examples kids , being. These include appearance, manners, habits, tastes and moral character. The second meaning emphasizes the characteristics that distinguish one person from another. The two meanings overlap or merge into each other, as the first considers all characteristics pertaining to the individual, without comparing him with others, while the second sees the same facts in relation to the outside world and fixes attention mainly upon, face painting, face painting examples kids , examples kids , the features that distinguish the subject from his fellows. This second meaning is equivalent to individuality. It represents a widely prevalent conception of the term.
But the third meaning is the most important, and is the only conception of any value to the psychic researcher and the philosopher or psychologist. This conception of personality is concerned only with mental characteristics; it makes no distinction between common and specific marks. In fact it connotes mental processes rather than fixed qualities. The capacity for having, face painting examples kids , mental states, or the fact of having them, constitutes, face painting examples kids , personality for the psychologist and the philosopher. Personality is thus the stream of consciousness, regardless of the question whether any special state is constant or casual, essential or unessential. Physical marks will have no place in this conception, unless they may serve as symbols of mental states. It abstracts from them and denotes only the stream of mental phenomena.
This third meaning is so radically different from the other two that it gives rise to perpetual misunderstandings between, face painting examples kids , the philosopher and the public. These misunderstandings arise particularly in the discussion of survival after death. The layman with his conception of personality looks for physical phenomena of some kind to illustrate or prove it. Consequently, if interested in psychic phenomena at all, he prefers materialization, which best satisfies his conception of personality. He cannot take the point of view of the psychologist or the philosopher, who neglects these purely sensory characteristics, and fixes his attention on mental states as the proper conception of the personality, which may survive. Materialization would supply the very characteristics, which the layman fixes upon to represent personality. But precisely the fact that mental states are not presented to sense, leads the philosopher to conceive of immortality as possible.
If the layman's conception were correct the philosopher and psychologist would deny the possibility of survival with entire confidence, as a necessary, face painting examples kids , implication of bodily dissolution. The day could be saved only by the doctrine of a "spiritual body," an It astral body," or an "ethereal organism," supposedly a replica of the physical organism in its spatial and other characteristics. These represent personality after the manner or analogy of the physical body. The real spirit may indeed have a transcendental bodily form; but the stream of consciousness remains the same whether there is any "spiritual body" or "ethereal organism" or not. This is the fundamental element in all conceptions of spiritual reality. It is not necessary to decide the question of a "spiritual body" or "ethereal organism" as the condition of believing in the existence of spirits. That is another and perhaps a secondary problem. What we need to know is, whether the stream of consciousness survives, whether the personal memory continues, not how it continues. The fact of survival is to be considered first and the condition of it afterwards.
Historical Review of "Split Personality"
Possible cases of split personality have been reported in the medical literature since the early 19th century, and the condition was formally defined in the first years of the 20th. But until recently it was considered extremely rare--fewer than 200 cases were described before 1980. The diagnosis became much more common in the 80s for several reasons. One was the phenomenal popularity of Flora Schreiber's 1973, face painting examples kids , book Sybil, which told of a woman with 16 personalities. Stories of "multiples," fictionalized or otherwise, were nothing new--The Three Faces of Eve dates from 1954, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" from way back in 1886--but Sybil made a crucial innovation, introducing the idea that multiple personalities stemmed from trauma during early childhood. Around the same time, child protection advocates and feminists began arguing that child abuse, especially sexual abuse, occurred far more often than previously supposed. And in the late 70s, in a phenomenon thought to be linked to the resurgence of Christian fundamentalism, reports of so-called satanic ritual abuse first captured the public's imagination, face painting examples kids , . Presented with, on one hand, allegations of an unrecognized epidemic of crimes against innocents and, on the other, a simple mechanism to explain why their troubled patients couldn't remember any abuse (i.e., the personality divides in order to shield itself from horrific memories), a small but devoted group of therapists began diagnosing multiple personality disorder with alarming frequency--more than 20,000 cases had been reported by 1990. Under the influence of hypnosis and other techniques, subjects reported dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of "alters" whose behavior, age, sex, language, and occasionally species differed from that of their everyday personas. Alters were coaxed into revealing bloodcurdling stories of abuse by family members, or of sacrificing their own babies to shadowy cults. One prominent multiple personality specialist claimed that the satanic network programmed alters into its victims, which it could then trigger to act in certain ways by sending them color-coded flowers. By the early 1990s it began to dawn on rational folk just how preposterous the whole business was. Having investigated more than 12,000 accusations over four years, researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Illinois at Chicago determined that not a single, face painting examples kids , case of satanic ritual abuse had been substantiated. A 1992 FBI study arrived at the same conclusion: overeager therapists had planted horror stories in the minds of their patients. In 1998 psychologist Robert Rieber made a convincing case, based on an analysis of audiotapes, that even the famous Sybil had confabulated her multiple personalities at the insistence of her therapist,, face painting examples kids , face painting examples kids , . The bubble burst, and diagnoses of multiple personalities subsided.
Some real Life Examples of Split Personalities
Case-1
The first patient is a man named William S. Milligan, he was caught by the charge of rape in Ohio at 1977. As police and the psychologists examined him, they found the unbelievable fact that he had several personalities. Here are the first ten personalities they found. In The Minds Of Billy Milligan;
1. The first personality is the main personality, Billy, twenty-seven years old, blue eyes, brown hair.
2. The second personality is Arthur, twenty-two years old, British. This personality and the next one are the keeper of the "Spot", where they can have the control of the body, or become themselves open to the outer world through the body of Billy.
3. The third personality is Leigen, twenty-three years old, Yugoslav, who knows how to fight and can use gun and other dangerous stuff, controls the hate.
4. Fourth personality, face painting examples kids , is Allen, eighteen years old, talkative, only one who smoke and right handed.

6. Sixth personality is Danny, fourteen years old, always scared to something especially man, blond hair, blue eyes.

8. Eighth personality is Christine, three years old, cannot talk, blond hair, female.
9. Ninth personality is Christopher, thirteen years old, brother of Christine.
10. For the last tenth personality, Adarana, nineteen years old, quiet, lesbian, female.
Those were the main ten personalities of the William S, face painting examples kids , . Milligan. As if you wonder how they know their outlooks, William Milligan, Billy has a hobby of painting, or some of the personalities do. Therefore, they draw each other on the painting and that is how they get to know their outlooks.
Case-2
The woman's name is Claudia Ellen Yascow. She was arrested by the charge of killing four people, which they found later that she was not the suspect. However, it was not unnecessary for the police to think that she was the suspect, because she had information of, face, face painting examples kids , painting examples kids , the scene that cannot be known unless the person has been there. Even though the information was confusing and messy because of her mental disease, police believed her, face painting examples kids , and thought that she was the suspect, for she knew even where the pot and other little detail was at when the crime occurred. She was caught once but let go after few month with the check of psychologist that she has a incubation type of split minds, and the lie detector found her answer to the question that she was not at the scene when the crime happened showed what she said is true, "No, I did not."
Her trouble is brought up mainly because of her mental disease, incubation type of split mind. Claudia is different, as she can always be herself even she is in a great pressure, but she will be losing a collect criterion to judge what kind of situation she is in. For example, when she was caught in jail, she truly thought that she was in a middle of movie taking and she was playing her rolls of main heroine. "Suddenly she put the smile on her face and said 'I never thought that I could have a great chance like this,' She leaned her head on the wall. 'I've always thought of having a chance to do a big act like a big actress. I do have some experience of acting in few films as a supporting player, but if I play this murderess act, maybe I can be very famous.' Dye stared at her and asked, 'You think we are making a film right now?' She slapped his hand softly, smiling, 'Oh Dye, you have seen all those cameras at the corridor and those of TV's. I hope I can have a deal with a lot of money coming in, you know it is kind of hard to act.'
As you can see above, by the shock she got from been captured by police, her mind had made an escape way from pain by believing that all the stuff, face painting examples kids , going is an act and not a real deal. This is very close to what Billy has done to himself; only the difference is that fortunately, Claudia was not getting shocked when she was before teenager, but after she became an adult. I think that this is the reason why she was quite right in condition even though she had some mental problems since she was fourteen and had been looked after by a psychologist. Her case is still, with a great trouble, that in such a hard circumstance like in the police office, she would be nervous and will not be able to say what she really want to.
As she says in Unveiling Claudia,, face painting examples kids , "If I am lying to you right now, that is anything but my will."(72) She is telling the truth here that her mind is trying to protect herself by not telling the truth about the matter, and she cannot help it. It is rather an act of her instinct, to let the shock coming above her because of telling and remembering the truth softer in order to not breakdown for it.
This has, face painting examples kids , been appearing in the way of, face painting examples kids , making the book. As she was making the confession about the murder, she always kept telling a one big story with half lie and half-truth. As you will find later that the truth was such a hard one that it was too much for her to remember it and telling it to the person who you met one or two years ago. This can be seen in Unveiling Claudia, " 'Claudia, I don't know what I should believe in you.' She put her hand on my shoulder and looked into my eye. 'I'm sorry Dan. I do trust you more than before. But not enough.'" This conversation was held more than two years past after they have met, and as you can see that, face painting examples kids , she is very careful about telling the truth and that is why she kept telling lie, or something that she believed it was a truth and unfortunately it was not. Although she is always careful about telling the truth, she is, face painting examples kids , always an easy person to make believe. If someone tells her that she has a superstitious power, she believes it and so on. This has prevented her from stopping the murder, because she had known that the real suspects of the case had planned to proceed the crime week before the murder. However, she was busy and also her weak mind was scared with the pressure what if she tell it to the victim and the what if the suspects would know about it and come after her? In the way of her mind escaping from the reality, she started to believe that it was an oracle, and she could not stop the crime. This story was one of the reason she was arrested once by the story told by her friend that she knew that the crime is going the happen a week before, and the truth was different.
The shocking truth was told on the end, and it was shocking enough for her mind to look for some escape way. On the night when crime has occurred, she was forced to go to the place, face painting examples kids , with a gay, right after the murder had happened. The man was gay but he had a gun in his hand and she could, face painting examples kids , not refuse to go there with him. Their car came in front of the house just in time when, face painting examples kids , two suspects where killing the victim, and after they had gone away, they went to the house's garage where there was a one dead body of a man and one body of woman laying on the floor. Claudia was forced to put her hand into the dead woman's genitals and find a bag of drugs. Now, this is a real hard and sick experience for the twenty-six years old woman, or any other person in the world. She was shocked and her mind could not stand it and she has lost her memories in order to prevent the breakdown.
After few days she find herself knowing about that crime and could not find out why she know about it so much, she told, face painting examples kids , the story to the police and they misjudged her as a criminal and put her in jail.
What They have to say
1st Feedback
Joshua (e-mail Id: joshua@omegaware.net
Sanjeev,
My father is a metal health counselor here in the US. He has seen only 2 multiple personality disorders in his 20+ years of private practice. In both cases patients were former participants in covens. One was a willing participant and the other was supposedly the unwilling offspring of a "breeder" program.
Neither, face painting examples kids , my father or I are generally prone to believe such things for the very reasons that you put forth in your article but never-the-less both patients exhibited classic multiple personality disorder symptomology. In the case of the unwilling participant he came to the conclusion that the majority of the damage to her psyche had been done by a previous therapist, when he met with the therapist and watched him work with her he was then certain that this was the, face painting examples kids , case... Perhaps this fits with your theory of therapists putting ideas into peoples heads.
Unfortunately, this leaves a difficult, face painting examples kids , problem to solve... Whether or not the problem is caused by a therapist or by some other external force, what is to be done with these people? Regardless of *how* they got that way they still deserve to be whole persons which will probably require further therapy... The *cause* of multiple personality disorder is not so important, face painting examples kids , to determine for these patients as healing is.
The process used by my father in his therapy sessions is called re-integration where the personalities are not taught how to *co-exist* but rather how to re-integrate with the main persona or the core identified "true self" as discovered in therapy. This re-integration can be very simple or complicated depending on the strength of a particular personality.
For instance, if a person has one major alternate and several minor ones the minor ones would be integrated first before the major etc. The difficulty arises because for each personality present there is a tremendous loss of individuality for each one and in each case this loss of an individual "persona" is often felt as a grief or loss of a friend for the true self. As each personality is re-integrated the true self becomes more in tune with its own emotions and feels this grief more keenly. For this reason it is important to take things slowly and to address only personalities that emerge rather than force anything.
In many cases a persons sense of self may be so buried under all of these layers of 'others' that finding the true self may be the most difficult part of the therapeutic process. Often this self is so weak and lacking in will that it presents as a smaller, other personality. It takes caring, sensitivity and insight to help these people since this true self is often a very young child.
It might sound strange and eerie and it is... The problem with your argument of is it all in their head is that of course it is... Does that make it any less real for the people who suffer from it? It is very similar to people who experience, face painting examples kids , vivid hallucinations, are those things real? No. Do they cause them grief and pain? Yes.
The question then, face painting examples kids , becomes not about testing the *reality* of the multiple personality claim but instead helping the person experiencing it with care. Coming from the therapeutic standpoint that, if it is real for them, it is real.
Joshua
Now, what do you think, are there people with split personalities or not? Is this a truth or a drama? Looking forward to your comments and feedback.
Stay in touch and yes, do take care of your good self because you are precious.

The Joys of Being Healthy

Author: Kay Kopit

Source: articleage.com



It is amazing to be able to say I am a whole, happy, healthy, loving woman. I was sick for the first 40 years of my life. Like millions of other human beings I grew up immersed in the family disease of alcoholism. For generations it has plagued, face painting pictures , my family. The unbalanced life I led is so common in our society;, face painting pictures , I didnt know anything was wrong. I was a participant in the chaos, confusion, neuroses, pain and suffering which is present in dysfunctional families. I call it The Dance of Death.
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri in the community of Clayton. The only memories I have of my father are when he would beat my brother and me with his belt so severely my clothes would cling to the bloody strap marks on my legs. He would make us wait for our punishment in our room, face painting pictures , before he dealt the ugly blows. My mother closed her eyes to what was happening. Both of them partied on weekends where I would find empty highball glasses scattered all over the living room. I had holes in th e soles of my shoes while my mother would model a new diamond cocktail ring, winnings from a weekly poker game. My dad was also a compulsive gambler. He died at the age of 45 when I was nine years old.
My mother attracted another alcoholic to her life soon, face painting pictures , after my fathers death. They had a symbiotic, codependent and addictive relationship. Every ten days they would consume a case of scotch which was delivered to our apartment from the local liquor store. My mother never, face painting pictures , appeared drunk but she was distant, selfish and narcissistic. My step fathers disease had progressed to the point he was visibly inebriated most evenings. His attitude was condescending, nasty and self righteous. He was verbally abusive and drove his car while intoxicated on many occasions. When I think back to that period of my history I remember keeping my, face painting pictures , personal, face painting pictures , life secret!!! I was ashamed of their behavior. I pretended all was well and I began developing neurotic habits for self preservation.
In my teens I danced several days after school, participated in theater groups, worked in a department store and had creative life in my head. I imagined the way I wanted my world to be and was in denial as to the truth in front of me. I became obsessive, compulsive and an over achiever. Because I worked so hard I accomplished a lot for a young girl but the reality was it was inspired by fear, insecurity and a need for control.
In college I devoted myself to art and earned a B.S. in Education and a M.A. in Painting and Ceramics from the University of Missouri. I was hired as a college instructor soon after graduate school. I felt happy for a time because I was away from home and involved in teaching. I took my job very seriously but the loneliness I felt when I was by myself was debilitating.
I longed for, face painting pictures , love . . . any kind. I didnt realize it at the time but I had never felt affection. I became preoccupied with thoughts of men. I had guys on my mind constantly! I was popular and had many choices but I picked the ones who I thought needed me. Most often they were from dysfunctional families. I dated a lot of drunks during my 20s. It felt familiar. In spite of my success as an artist and a teacher, I had low self esteem and I knew something was wrong with me.
In l969 I began a new life in another city. Within a week of, face painting pictures , moving to Boston, Massachusetts, I was brutally raped and hospitalized. I never received, face painting pictures , help with this trauma and didnt properly grieve until years later. I pushed down the pain and was then, more than ever, resolved to create the perfect life for myself, (as if it were in my hands?)
This, face painting pictures , was made easy for me when Joey Haudel entered my life. He filled the position of my Knight in Shining Armour, albeit, distorted. He was young, handsome, and alcoholic and had just been released from prison. We needed each other like ducks need water. We bonded in a codependent relationship that lasted 12 years.
Our experiences together, face painting pictures , were astounding. What I learned about myself was profound. Our journey is almost unbelievable. I have told this story in a dramatic narrative, I Survived: One Womans Journey of Self Healing and Transformation on DVD. It is filled with the dark world of illness and moves to the light of wellness. I reached my bottom after years of suffering. I was contemplating suicide but was saved by the Grace of God and the dear voice of a telephone operator who kept me on the phone for over an hour.
I spent years in recovery; beginning with Al-Anon meetings in 1973, several series of Adult Children of Alcoholic Therapy Sessions, individual therapy with numerous therapists and devouring self help books. I had the courage to look within and face the demons. It wasnt easy and many times I wanted to quit. I often felt I was too depressed to get well. One step at a time I forged ahead and never looked back! I visualized a healthy prognosis. Today I am living that beautiful picture!
I am happily married to a man 19 years my junior, face painting pictures , . What makes our relationship extraordinary is that my husband was born in 1960 the year after I graduated, face painting pictures , from high school. I am older than his mother. We recently celebrated our 17th anniversary and continue to share, face painting pictures , the most fabulous life. The secret of our success is our deeply committed love for one another. We enjoy a passionate romance. I wish what Bryan and I have could be sprinkled, face painting pictures , over the world like angel dust.
We met in 1985 during a rainy winter in San Francisco. , face painting pictures , We were neighbors on a tiny street near the historic Mission Dolores. The worst storm of the season was on its way and my roof was leaking profusely. I was in dire straits financially, having been newly divorced. I was preparing to fix it myself. Unfortunately my ladder wasnt tall enough. I needed help. None of the folks I knew were home that Saturday morning but I noticed an open door directly across from my house. I hurried upstairs to the second story flat in the azure painted duplex and walked down the long corridor to the living room. There on the sofa was a guy watching the football game on T.V. I introduced myself and then proceeded to ask for his assistance. He looked at me like I was nuts. The silence was deafening. How often does a stranger enter your apartment with a request for help with a major repair?, face painting pictures , I was flushed, face painting pictures , with embarrassment but was in, face painting pictures , too deep to recover. Fortunately he agreed to help me.
This uncommon beginning signaled the magic that lay before us. The sparks flew. We went on our first date within days of this meeting. Bryans car was broken so we took the bus across the city to an authentic Moroccan restaurant where we sat on paisley cushions and ate with our fingers. I remember clearly how primitive this felt and how natural it was to be with him. He didnt seem the least bit concerned about my age. I, on the other hand, was more sensitive. I was still healing from the codependent relationship of 12 years and had never experienced, face painting pictures , true intimacy. I wasnt sure it was the proper thing to do but I couldnt help myself; I was falling in love. I was scared because these, face painting pictures , feelings were coming so quickly.
Bryan moved in with me within weeks of our first meeting. I remember, face painting pictures , thinking if it didnt work out it would be easy to ask him to leave because all he owned was a T.V. For Valentines Day he created a hanging wire mobile in the shape of intertwined hearts and presented it to me with flowers and chocolate. This type of thoughtful gesture is typical of Bryan. He has never missed a special occasion and has often surprised me with jewelry when he returns from a business trip.
One evening in the spring we were waiting to board a dinner train in Mendocino. A drunken man approached us and said, How come you two are dressed up? Are you getting married? Bryan looked at me and said, Yes, we are arent we? That was his proposal. It was decided we would plan a wedding for later that year. But, first I needed to meet Bryans mother.
Just the thought of it terrified me! Bryan and his mother, Sharon, have a rare bond. He insisted he would not tell anyone about our engagement until she and I met. We drove to southern California where Sharon, face painting pictures , was visiting her sister, Bryans aunt. I felt sick the entire trip. I knew in advance he was going to take, face painting pictures , his mother shopping the next morning alone to break the news to her. I couldnt sleep at all that night. What felt so right to Bryan and me was unusual, especially in the eyes of a parent. When they returned from their excursion Sharon looked like she had just come from a funeral. Fortunately, for me, Aunt Toby accepted the situation and eased the tension by giving me a white angel ornament. His mother is a wonderful woman. In spite of her disappointment, she welcomed me into their family. Over the years our relationship has evolved into a unique friendship,, face painting pictures , a cross between a peer and a sister.
December 7, 1986, dressed in an ivory colored Victorian gown, I was driven to our wedding in a horse drawn carriage. I remember the sensation well. As I heard the clip-pity clop of the hoofs hitting the pavement I felt it was the happiest day of my life. The ride was several miles long and I enjoyed cars honking loudly at every turn. When we arrived at the elegant Alamo Square Inn Bryan was waiting to escort me inside to, face painting pictures ,, face painting pictures , the nuptials. It was a good thing he took my hand, for as I exited the carriage, my knees collapsed from shaking so hard. The day was spectacular marking a lifetime of love.
Both Bryan and I had always wanted kids. By the time we met my biological clock had run out. He told me he would rather marry a woman he loved deeply than to wait for someone to bear his children. For several years we were content to be a unit of two. After my dear Aunt Letha died in 1992, face painting pictures , I longed for a child. Bryan agreed to adoption. It was an arduous experience requiring patience and resilience. We had several birthmothers who changed their minds for different reasons. This process took three years and a great deal of money. Ultimately we were blessed with a baby girl we named Mariah. Our daughter is now 8 years old and the light of our life. I am grateful I am able to be a good parent and I relish every moment I spend with both of them as a family.
Bryan continues to be my rock, strength and loving support. During our years together I have had many tragedies including: my brother Johns suicide in 1988, my ex- husband Joeys death from alcoholism in 1989, and my girlfriend Debras suicide in 2002. I was hospitalized with a potentially life threatening blood clot in my lungs in, face painting pictures , 1998. Bryan stood by me through all of these. I married a great guy! I am a fortunate woman to have found true love in the heart of a younger man.
Each day I thank God for the gifts I have been given. I see my world as peaceful and balanced. My mission is to inspire people to their own healing and recovery. It is truly possible to find serenity, joy and love. If I can do it, so can you.

Diabetes And The Long Term Dangers

Author: Zach Malott

Diabetes has hidden dangers that activate afore analysis and abide to aggravate if assertive accomplish are not taken to anticipate the complications that are the true, "killers" in agreement of diabetes.
Statistics appearance that there are about 18 actor diabetics in America, both Type 1 and Type 2. It is amazing how abounding people, diabetics included, who accept no abstraction what dangers a diabetic faces over their lifetime. A diabetic, all things getting equal, lives about 10 years beneath than their non-diabetic analogue on average.
Why do diabetics activity beneath activity spans than non-diabetics? The acknowledgment is both simple and complicated. Simple in acknowledgment in accustomed terms, complicated in the medical sense. Without traveling the complicated avenue in this article, I will try to accord a simple, beeline advanced acknowledgment to the aloft question. Diabetics reside beneath lives than non-diabetics because of diabetic complications.
What Are Diabetic Complications?
Diabetic complications are abiding medical altitude that activate to affect the physique of the diabetic. These complications are brought about mostly by a action the medical association had named, "Advanced Glycation End products", face painting ideas for children , which is simply, "excess sugar" saturating the central of the beef of the body. This action aswell alleged AGE for abbreviate includes coronary avenue disease, vascular disease, blindness, branch disease, retinopathy (blindness) and accident of activity in the easily and the anxiety (peripheral neuropathy) a part of others.
Diabetes in the aboriginal stages does not aftermath symptoms. Unless activate during a accustomed medical exam, it is accessible for a diabetic to abide undiagnosed for years. It is during these years that the ancestry of diabetic complications can accretion a ballast due balance amoroso in the beef (AGE). The statistics appearance there is the achievability of as abounding as over 5 actor humans traveling about their accustomed lives while accepting undiagnosed diabetes.

Depression

Author: Robert Bruce Baird

The 'experts' have tried to evaluate me as a sufferer of this
but found no such evidence or behavior. The same was true, ideas for face painting , for
all other mental or medical conditions, so they think, ideas for face painting , 'witch'
covers my condition in life; because I refuse to participate in
the materially managed environment any more. We will not explore
the horrors of the current forms of Inquisition in great detail
in this book as it relates to me. That would definitely be too
serious and intense, as I would explain society's role in
tortures such as I witness all around me every day. I have been
thwarted in devious gambits, ideas for face painting , by those who have something even
worse than the strait-jacket as we have seen Drs Breggin and
Cohen describe in 'Science'. They call it (appropriately)
'pharmacological lobotomies'. ECT is even more disgusting and
joins Ritalin in a campaign which social forces are developing
in this control paradigm. It seems relevant to point out enough
of the matter of my experience so that you will know you are
getting it pretty close to what they say when they use the
phrase 'the horse's mouth'.

Even the pharmacological and psychiatric conglomerate
acknowledges the physical elements of depression. Some are
cluing in to nutrition and massage or simple caring. The effects
of education and alienation are massive, but bad parenting, ideas for face painting , and
the lack of enabling nutritive support in early life establish
character and behavior traits that stubbornly resist real
therapeutic methods. These obsessions often are far too
time-consuming for high-paid 'professionals' to offer assistance
- so we just drug and deceive! This medical model as some call
it makes a great deal of money and keeps the public at large
thinking something humane is going on in the life of the
care-givers and victims of a society without true spiritual
awareness and far too little compassion. The buzz words and
catchy phrases like 'informed consent' are not, ideas for face painting , anything more
than deceit, as they still give lobotomies. In one case they did
it without informing the person who just died in 2005.

Francis Mark Mondimore writes a book called 'Depression, The
Mood Disease' updated in 1993 by Johns Hopkins University that
presents the lies of this machine that Ivan Illich (in 'Limits
To Medicine') identified as 'mechanistic and
over-professionalized' in the mid 70s.Here is the overstatement
of the century from its inside flap:

"The revised 'Depression, the Mood Disease' tells readers
exactly what they need to know about the causes, symptoms, and
treatment of depression: *How antidepressant drugs, ideas for face painting , were
discovered, how they work, and with what side effects. {I'm
biting my, ideas for face painting , tongue!} *What Seasonal Affective, ideas for face painting , Disorder (SAD) and
panic attacks are, and how they are treated. *How
electro-convulsive therapy has changed for the better--and why
it now works for up to 90% of those treated. {And all the
professions involved in continuing to provide this, ideas for face painting , fearsome
horror, ideas for face painting , that is necessary to repeat as it continues frying brain
cells. Now randomly due to a drug cocktail, so that people's
libido and zest is burned out too.} *How the special problems of
depression in children and older persons are handled. *How to
deal with a depressed friend or family member. *How such
disorders as hormonal imbalance and even lead poisoning can
'mimic' the symptoms of depression. *Why depression is sometimes
misdiagnosed as 'PMS', drug abuse, or Alzheimer's disease..."

The future holds promises and terrors galore in the application
of 'easy' answers like drugs developed for specific genetic
make-ups and nanites to monitor and deliver targeted drugs or
shocks to the system in order to make us behave as we should.
The ever-increasing 'big brother' that allows the growth
industries associated with the management of people will lead to
full employment if we allow it to continue down the current
path. There, ideas for face painting , will only be one benefit as the unemployable grow in
number and the employment roles show full employment. The
statistics will show the economy is productive and there is
little unemployment or reason to worry about an economic
depression. That is the end of the excerpt from my encyclopedia.
I will be including some other more recent writings as we
proceed.

I had returned from the Caribbean and a failed business
experience in Mexico and Belize in the month of March 1998. My
last wife and I had purchased a yacht, which we hoped to be able
to build a party boat/tourist business around. My wife had named
the boat 'Champagne Dreams' after the motto of Robin Leach's
show 'The Rich and the Famous'. It was her idea that we put a
Jacuzzi on the front deck, of this 47 foot fiberglass yacht that
we purchased in Fort Lauderdale, and our partner (Captain
Crunch) Jerry had taken with me to Cancun. His nickname had not
been established until we were leaving Key West. He destroyed
the fueling station of the marina while hitting three other
boats. We were still married though it was never a real marriage
as most people think of it. The relationship was already
complicated with another man named David.

It is not the purpose of this book to try to describe the
trials and tribulations, ideas for face painting , of a relationship between myself and a
young Vietnamese exotic dancer who had been one of the 'boat
'people'. Suffice it to say there were many exciting times that
had lead me to the point where I was ready to leave this world
before I even met her. I had been a self-made millionaire at the
age of thirty. My travels and business had allowed me to meet
some of the most interesting people. By any standard of
measurement most would agree I had enjoyed life FULLY. My
interest in psychology due to having grown up with a
schizophrenic mother had long before gotten into the realm of
Eastern mysticism and parapsychology, ideas for face painting , .

My wife was just twenty-two and I was forty six years old. We
had gone to Cancun in early September of 1997 to further
research a stele that I had found at Chichen Itza four years
before with my previous wife. This event had ended with my being
thrown off the site, and having to sign a document giving the
Mexican authorities the right to throw me in a Mexican prison,
without any recourse to the courts and Canadian law. This is
truly a story of oppression of the Mayan and native people of
Central America that includes a deceit of history which is
IMMENSE! We had been doing a non-invasive charcoal rubbing of
this 'stele' (stone for heavenly worship, or library in stone).
It had been painted over twice and it seemed the white surface
would have made the pictures provide insufficient clarity. So we
had some paper we were using over the stone to capture the
alphabet that had not 'come out' in the previous photos I had
taken four years earlier when the granite 'rock' had its
original shiny surface.

This alphabet I believe confirms the work of Col. Churchward,
the, ideas for face painting , author of 'The Lost Continent of Mu', who documents the
Cara-Maya language is the translational medium through which the
Greek alphabet on the other side of the 'stele' tells the story
of the destruction of the civilization that originally colonized
South America some sixty thousand years earlier. I believe Col.
Churchward would agree with my, ideas for face painting , statement that the original
colonization had started during the Riis-Wurm geologic Ice Age,
and was finalized during the last Ice Age; if he had the benefit
of recent geologic and archaeologic evidence. A fellow
researcher and good friend named Brenda found this in Islam and
Sufism which applies to my personal quest.

Dear Brenda:

Was this the result of Jeffrey mentioning the Language, ideas for face painting , of the
Birds is the Language of the Bards and the alchemist (like this
person) Fulcanelli? This whole thing is very much from the
Keltic Creed. I draw attention to these parts - "The Hoopoe says
that it is better to lose your life than to languish miserably.
The Hoopoe says,

So long as we do not die to ourselves, and so long as we
identify with someone or something, we shall never be free. The
spiritual way is not for those wrapped up in exterior life.5

You will enjoy happiness if you succeed in withdrawing from
attachment to the world. Whoever is merciful even to the
merciless is favored by the compassionate. It is better to agree
to differ than to quarrel. The Hoopoe warns the sixth bird
against the dog of desire that runs ahead. Each vain desire
becomes a demon, and yielding to each one begets a hundred
others. The world is a prison under the devil, and one should
have no truck with its master. The Hoopoe also says that if you
let no one benefit from your gold, you will not profit either;
but by the smallest gift to the poor you both benefit. She says,

Good fortune will come to you only as you give. If you cannot
renounce life completely, you can at least, ideas for face painting , free yourself from
the love of riches and honors.6

A pupil becomes afraid in facing a choice between two roads,
but a shaikh advises, ideas for face painting , getting rid of fear so that either road
will be good. The Hoopoe tells the eighth bird that only if
death ceases to exercise power over creatures would it be wise
to remain content in a golden palace." (3)

Choose a blush color that is closest to your skin tone or one that looks like your natural glow after you work out. Do not attempt to wear a blush which is too bright for your skin.

Nature's Decor for Fall, on a Budget

Author: Kathleen Wilson

Source: articleage.com



Fall is my favorite time of year for decorating. Well, ok, so
maybe it's just behind the holidays, but you know what I mean! I
think it's because it represents a time of coming home and
cuddling in, preparing for the long cold days of winter.
Cacooning, halloween face painting pictures , in a home filled with warmth and personality…mmm, no
better feeling, especially in times when life doesn't feel as
secure as it once did for many of us. How do you decorate your
home for the winding down of autumn when the money's tight? Read
this article, and you're on your way!

Fall is the best time, halloween face painting pictures , for decorating organically; that is, with
natural elements. Natural ornaments for the home are abundantly
available this time, halloween face painting pictures , of year, are extremely cheap or free, and
give us a good feeling of grounded goodness from Mother Earth.
So get the kids, and go on a nature walk! Make sure to take a
bag with you, and be sure only to collect fallen items that are
not protected, or on private land. (Don't worry, I'm going to
tell you what to do with all this in a minute!) Everything, halloween face painting pictures , that
appeals to you is fair game here, and remember to look at
texture, color, or even memories an item brings back for you.
Acorns, pinecones, seed pods, sticks or branches, driftwood,
shells, empty wasp nests, bird nests, or cocoons, pressed and
dried flowers, back chunks, even, halloween face painting pictures , pretty rocks! And of course,
cut and bring in those fall wildflowers! Sunflowers, zinnias,
cosmos, chrysanthemums, even roses all bloom in the fall and
make terrific bouquets. Even dried grasses displayed in a pretty
pitcher invoke those great feelings of autumn on it's way.

Now you're back home with all your treasures, you've started a
big pot of soup on the stove…and you can't figure out for the
life of you what you are going to do with all this stuff? For
starters, consider setting out simple ceramic, halloween face painting pictures , or wooden bowls
lined with a pretty cloth napkin or scrap, and fill with some of
your goods. Texture abounds with natural elements, and will warm
up a tablescape, a coffee table, a fireplace hearth. Try getting
out the hot glue gun and affixing your items to the candles you
packed away at the first sign of summer. Small glass jars make
great votive holders when dressed up with a few pressed leaves
and acorns. Fill a bowl or plate with goodies around large
pillar candles and use as a centerpiece. If you can't find
enough natural material near your home, check out the bulk grain
section at your supermarket. Fall is about harvest, so any grain
can be used to add that element to your home. Even cracked corn
meant for the bird feeder can look great in a jar as a base for
a candle.

Lastly, don't forget the front porch when adding the element of
fall! After all, Halloween and Thanksgiving are on the way, it'
time to, halloween face painting pictures , think about adding joy to our neighborhoods and
communities. Ask a local farmer or produce stand owner if you
can get some corn stalks, and display them on your porch with a
homemade scarecrow. My, halloween face painting pictures , kids have been making scarecrows each
year since they were little, and they have a great time! Use old
clothing, a little muslin or an old pillowcase for the face,
stuff most of the body with newspaper or stuffing, then add a
little raffia or straw, halloween face painting pictures , at the sleeve and neck cuffs. Make the
scarecrows representative of someone you know for fun…one year
my kids made our whole family, and if you know anything about
the size of my family, you'll understand it was quite a job!
Draw on the face with permanent makers and craft paint, and have
a great time!

Lastly, don't forget to preserve some of this magical time.
Press fall leaves, take pictures of your kids, and make some
really great new comfort foods to warm your family. Set the
stage for a wonderful place for your family to be this winter!
