I’ve been struggling to write this blog, because nobody likes a braggart, and I didn’t exactly know how to word it without sounding like one. So I’ll do my best. I’m really excited, though!
Last month, Jen Hatmaker announced via Facebook that she was going to allow her readers the opportunity to be a part of the Launch Team for her new book For The Love. They were going to accept 500 people, and it was first come, first served. Of course I had a minute to sit down and apply about seven hours after she originally posted, so I almost didn’t apply at all, but decided to “just in case.” The application consisted of submitting all of our social media handles, blog web address, and a short statement about why we wanted to participate in the launch. I honestly can’t remember what I wrote, but I do know that it was about two sentences.
A few days later, I got an email saying that 5,000 people had applied for a spot on the Launch Team, and I was one of the 500 chosen. I guess they didn’t end up doing first come first served, but clearly it was an error or a miracle that I was picked. Either way, here I am!
We were given a PDF copy of the uncorrected manuscript to read in our first Launch Team email, so I read the entire book in one day. I kept meaning to stop and savor, but For The Love is so hilarious, meaningful, and convicting that I just continued reading.
I received my hard copy of the book on Tuesday, and couldn’t wait to start reading it on real paper. My highlighter has been working overtime capturing quotes, lessons I’ve learned, and things I definitely need to apply to my own life.
Hands down, the best part of being selected for the launch team isn’t getting to read For the Love early, or getting the chance to write a review that will be included in the book. It’s the Launch Team Facebook group. You guys, there is a community there that I haven’t experienced before. People are sharing their struggles and celebrations. There is authenticity, transparency, and love over there. It’s its own little tribe, and I feel extremely blessed to be a part of it.
Because I’m on the Launch Team, part of my job is to help you realize that you should buy For The Love (preorder is on now!), but it also means that I get to share pieces of the book with you, so you can see why you should read it! So from this Friday, April 3, until the book launch in August, I will be doing a series called “For The Love Friday.” I’ll share a quote from the book, and what I took away as a reader. My thoughts won’t give away the book, it’s just my way of making text-to-self connections (shout out, to my elementary teachers!).
So, I would love it if you would follow me through this journey. And I hope you’ll be willing to share what you take away from the quotes in the comments section. I love discussion and hearing others’ perspectives!
HELMAND: At least twelve people including children were wounded in an explosion triggered by a magnetic improvised explosive device in southern Helmand province.
The provincial government media office in a statement said the incident took place close to Greshk market at around 7:00am local time on Monday.
The statement further added that the magnetic bomb was planted by anti-government armed militants in a civilian vehicle.
At least six children are among those wounded and are being treated in provincial hospitals, the statement by governor’s office added.
The anti-government armed militants including Taliban have not commented regarding the incident so far.
Taliban militants frequently use improvised explosive devices as the weapon of their choice to target security and government personnel but in majority of such attacks ordinary civilians are targeted.

What a treat! Not only are the stories and poems inside the cover delightful, passionate, insightful and/or all of the above, but handling the book itself is a delight. From the picture on the cover connecting past and present to the deckled edges and the weight of the pages, What Wildness is This is a pleasure to handle.
Inside, riches flow. Here you will find women who pour out their passion for, and their connection with places in the Southwest. The places vary from solitary canyons casting protective shadows from the blazing sun through open prairies with dancing grasses to city backyards shielding home-nests of families from urban chaos. The women who write these words write with deep feeling, fine writing and connections to Nature. These are not mere descriptions; in many cases, they are love songs.
About half of the almost 100 writers in Wildness were chosen from a call for entries by Story Circle Network, a national organization dedicated to helping women tell their stories. The others are previously published writers including Joy Harjo, Terry Tempest Williams and Barbara Kingsolver.
In the introduction, Kathleen Dean Moore writes, "the women write with a heady freedom from definition and expectation, exploring the folds and shadows of the whole geography of language and land, heart and mind." The writings are arranged into themes such as: how we live on the land, our journeys through the land, nature uncovered in urban life, our kinship with the animal world, what we hope to leave behind and other related topics.
What Wildness is This takes you not only deep into the Nature of the Southwest but also into the Nature of many selves. By reading this anthology, you will find yourself visiting your own inner landscape as well.
Belinda developed a passion for property and architecture from an early age. Whilst growing up, moving from home to home with her parents, she explored the various types of properties and the incredible breadth of interior and exterior styles that accompanied them. Naturally she witnessed all the pitfalls of moving house and renovations too!
Belinda studied interior design at the KLC School of Design and now runs Belinda Corani Interiors and Home Conscious Ltd, a bespoke property and interiors consultancy from her home in west London. Currently she is working on four properties in Earls Court, St John’s Wood, Ealing, Kensington and Marylebone.
Home Conscious Ltd is a bespoke property and interiors consultancy specialising in both residential and commercial refurbishment.
I offer complete design and project management of refurbishments or targeted help with designing your interiors and exteriors. I specialise in listed buildings, many of them large commercial buildings that need extensive refurbishment; contracts that are often needing confidentiality, discretion and diplomacy.
Following renovation, I regularly manage property for private, international individuals, developers, institutes and insurers.
Working mostly in London and the home counties I travel internationally where necessary.
In addition to this, I am a design entrepreneur that teaches interior designers and would be interior designers to make a full time living doing what they love. Using tried and tested methods, I explain the life of an interior designer and talk personally about my current projects.
Today, the Home Conscious podcast, blog and video channel reaches people through iTunes, YouTube, and SoundCloud.
Using case studies; past, current and future projects, I show how to become an interior designer and how you can build your company along the way. With interviews with specialist contractors and product reviews that will help you with your own projects, I show you what it’s like on the front line of interior design, the pitfalls and the successes.
OKLAHOMA CITY- A metro family is looking for answers after their 21-year-old daughter was found dead.
Police are saying the death of Sandra Stevens appears to be a suicide, but those closest to her think someone else might be responsible.
Sandra’s mother says there’s no way her daughter took her own life. She says Sandra had just finished hair school and was working at a local restaurant.
“She had the most beautiful smile and a twinkle in her eye,” Sylvia Stevens said.
She says her daughter was always so full of life.
“You can see most of her pictures, she was always happy, she had plans for her future,” Stevens said.
That future was cut short after what happened inside a northwest Oklahoma City home.
About a month ago, Sandy moved in with her boyfriend of two months.
On Dec. 6, police rushed to Sandy's new place to investigate a shooting.
When they arrived, officers found her dead inside the home.
Her boyfriend told police she killed herself with a shotgun, but her family says she never would've done that.
Sandy went to her parents’ home the night before her death. Her mother says Sandra and her boyfriend were fighting.
Her parents say she wanted to move back home.
“She was upset, and my husband told her she needed to finish the relationship,” Stevens said.
That was the last time Sylvia saw her daughter alive.
Allegedly, there were a couple of people other than her boyfriend at the scene when Sandy died.
When NewsChannel 4 went to speak with those alleged witnesses, they were not happy to learn about the story.
“I want the truth. I want the truth,” Stevens said.
Sylvia says she’ll never give up on getting her questions answered.
A Facebook page dedicated to her daughter, called “Justice for Sandra Stevens,” has more than 3,000 likes.
“She loved life, and she knew she was loved. I have faith with all my heart that justice will be made. Justice is going to be for Sandy, justice for Sandy,” Stevens said.
Police say this is still an active investigation, adding that they have interviewed Sandy's boyfriend.
The family is holding out hope that they’ll be able to piece together what really happened.
They requested an autopsy, but the medical examiner’s office says it has not finished the report yet.

This post provides a bit of an overview of my plans for my as-yet unnamed RPG. One of the biggest lessons I learned with my previous game (which I talked a bit about here) is that players want to interact. The in-game chat was pretty much an afterthought in my previous game (in fact, it was the very last feature I added before going to "alpha"). Most of the work I did post-release was community-based features -- an alliance system, one-on-one and group private chats, and so on.
So I wanted to make sure my new game supported a vibrant community right from the beginning. Also, I was a little tired of the limitations of working with a phone, so I wanted something that ran on a PC. But more than that, I wanted something that was cross-platform (I personally use a Mac laptop and a Linux workstation, so it needed to run on those platforms as well as Windows, of course). Because I'm a masochist, I decided make the game browser-based.
So I made it fully 3D with three.js as the backend renderer. In fact it's actually not that hard to get webgl up and running -- the hardest part, at least for me, was content. The initial "rewrite" was still talking to the same backend server, so it still supported all those wonderful multiplayer features, but I had an MD2 model (from Quake) as my main character, and some procedurally generated tree I found somewhere as decoration.
The most interesting thing about the rewrite is the terrain. I found this cool article on Gamasutra and implemented it as a GLSL shader in three.js.
Then I taught myself how to use blender to create some basic 3D objects and animations. All the content in the current gameplay video was made by me in blender. Yay!
Arjen Onderwater visited AHOS in November 2009 with 3 friends. He was one of the last persons who got a tour from founder John Martin before John got too sick from cancer to show people around and talk about his dreams.
Arjen was impressed with the work of many volunteers and the stories from John about the mothers and children who had to deal with home abuse.
When Arjen started to train for the New York Marathon he knew he wanted to find sponsors for AHOS and the childrenofpaarl who would donate an amount for every kilometre he would finish.
Martijn made a logo, we built a special page on a website where people could mail Arjen with a donation per kilometre and Arjen and his friends started mailing their family and friends.
Within 2 weeks an amount of € 35 euro per kilometre was committed to and at the time of the race Arjen raised 42 x ZAR 630 = ZAR 26.500!
The counter on the website was followed closely with great excitement by the volunteers in Paarl who have all been cheering for Arjen!
Think about what activity you and your circle of family and friends can sponsor for AHOS!

Tudiya or Tudia is the earliest Assyrian king named in the Assyrian King List, and the first of the “seventeen kings who lived in tents.” His existence is unconfirmed archeologically and uncorroborated by any other source. According to the Assyriologist Georges Roux, Tudiya would have lived in the latter half of the 25th century BC (i.e. somewhere between fl. c. 2450 BC — fl. c. 2400 BC.) Tudiya was succeeded by Adamu.
Tudiya is succeeded on the Assyrian King List by Adamu and then a further thirteen rulers: Yangi, Suhlamu, Harharu, Mandaru, Imsu, Harsu, Didanu, Hana, Zuabu, Nuabu, Abazu, Belu and Azarah. Nothing concrete is yet known about these names, although it has been noted that a much later Babylonian tablet listing the ancestral lineage of Hammurabi of Babylon, seems to have copied the same names from Tudiya through Nuabu, though in a heavily corrupted form: Tudiya's name seems to be joined with that of Adamu to appear there as Tubtiyamutu.
In initial archaeological reports from Ebla, it appeared that Tudiya's existence was confirmed with the discovery of a tablet where it was stated that he had concluded a treaty for the operation of a kārum in Eblaite territory, with "King" Ibrium of Ebla (who is now known to have instead been the vizier of the King Isar-Damu of Ebla.) This entire reading is now questionable, as several scholars have more recently argued that the treaty in question was not with king Tudiya of Assur at all, but rather with the unnamed king of an uncertain location called "Abarsal".
The earliest Assyrian kings recorded as “kings who lived in tents” (such as Tudiya) had at first been independent semi-nomadic pastoralist rulers; Assyria is thought to have begun as an oligarchy rather than a monarchy. These kings at some point became fully urbanized and founded the city-state of Assur.

The Opioid Crisis: Part 2 What’s Congress Got to Do With It?
In case you missed the explosive investigative report conducted by 60 Minutes and the Washington Post, I urge you to spend a few minutes and watch it. Tragically in the midst of this growing epidemic, the DEA was in 2016 legally handcuffed by a law passed by congress and signed by former President Obama that intervenes with their ability to enforce the law.

It doesn’t quite feel like summer in Seattle until the fourth of July. This weekend in the 80′s confirmed it. Thursday night kick off after work celebrating Marky’s birthday with beers and Thai food with his family. Friday morning brunch at our house with Zoë and Eric over. Paper shopping and a facial at U-Village. Surprise sneak peak of fireworks at home. Saturday was errands, running into Val at Elliott Bay, crafting Ernelyn’s gift, followed by amazing evening at Dahlia Lounge celebrating her 40th birthday with family. Sunday was dim sum with Jules, doing chores around the house, naps, mass, and then pizza dinner with Courtney and Sean at Z & E’s rooftop as the sun set. All while Lincoln crawled, screeched, laughed, kept us up late, played, impressed, and generally became a major handful. It was a good long weekend.
