After receiving her degree in Elementary Education from the University of Maine at Farmington, Janet Allison began her teaching career in a Waldorf School with a class of 10 boys and 2 girls. She quickly realized she had NOT been prepared for the differences in the way boys learn and the way girls learn. Through trial and error, extensive reading and research, and sheer determination, Janet was at last able to understand those parts of her boys that were hard-wired (and therefore unchangeable) and the things that she could change – by making lessons more active and interactive and providing plenty of outside time and movement in the classroom. With her many years of classroom experience, she is able to 'talk the talk' with teachers in both public and private schools – including those following Waldorf and Montessori principles.

"Are you paralyzed with fear? That's a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do.

Originally published on Glennon's Facebook page To The Brave Ones, This is cruelly specific to you. No generation before you has ever faced anything like this: Students being shot and killed in classrooms while adults do nothing. What's happening to you -- it has a new face -- but underneath? It's oldest story known to humanity. It's the story of evil born of greed. Because there are two kinds of evil. There is the visible evil This is the evil you see on the news. The evil that happens when a kid shoots up a school. That kind of evil is often sparked by illness, pain, circumstance, hopelessness. But we're here today to talk about a different kind of evil: a behind the scenes kind of evil -- not the evil that led the shooter to pull the trigger -- but the evil that put a weapon of war in his hand. Brave ones, that kind evil is harder to see because it hides behind fancy suits and degrees and good arguments and slick smiles and fake patriotism. This kind of evil is born in boardrooms and private jets and golf courses and handshakes between powerful people who plan how to divide us. And it's not complicated, Brave Ones, It's born from nothing but old-fashioned greed. It's born when the love of money and power trumps the love of people. It's unleashed when power decides to sacrifice lives for money, and when they wrap their decision in the American flag, in the name of God, in the name freedom –- so we'll smile and cheer while our deaths line their pockets. This kind of evil, Brave Ones, is not new – it's when the greed of a few , in order to profit, strategizes to divide us and convince us to be afraid of each other. To convince us that we are against each other, when really these greedy few are only for themselves and We the People – We the People – who have been taught to fear each other, have the very same interests: our freedom, and our safety, and our children. Greed is powerful – always has been. But you know what's even more powerful, Brave Ones? Courage. The story of our country is that humanity's greed only reigns for so long – only until the people being sacrificed rise up and together say: ENOUGH. Like the abolitionists rose up. Like the suffragettes rose up. Like the freedom riders rose up. Like the Vietnam War protesters rose up. Like the civil rights heroes who marched with King rose up. And the civil rights heroes who knelt with Kapernick rose up. Like women all over the world rose up to say TIME'S UP because ME TOO and like the young gymnasts -- who joined arms and stood on that witness stand and shook with fury and conviction as they looked Larry Nassar dead in the eye and took him down together -- rose up. Like the Parkland Prophets rose up in the face of their own pain and with their passion and intolerance for hypocrisy awoke our entire nation. And Like YOU. LIKE THE AMERICAN STUDENTS OF 2018. Who -- on February 23 -- rose up together to say to power: "WE SEE YOU. Your greed is not patriotism. WE ARE THE PATRIOTS and we say: No country is free whose children are not free. " YOU, who on February 23rd, became the BECAME THE LEADERS YOU WERE WAITING FOR. You are not alone as you make history today. You are taking your rightful place in the long line of American freedom fighters. You are staking your claim on the side of history that knows and has always known that the Power of Love Overcomes the Love of Power Everytime. History shows us again and again, Brave Ones, that the game is long but when love shows up LOVE WINS. On behalf of us parents, as you continue to rise and overcome the world's greed with your love – I beg you, we beg you, to remember two things. FIRST: Please- as you rise- Honor each other's humanity. Our generation got this wrong, Brave Ones. We demonize people and groups who think differently than we do. We pledge blind allegiance to tribe and party and turn up our noses and close our minds and hearts to each other. We reduce each other to headlines and clickbait. We allow power to keep us afraid of each other – arguing with each other so we're too busy hating each other and loving our own self-righteousness to make any real change at all. We allow power to use the oldest trick in the book: Keep them afraid of each other so they don't turn on us. And that's why we failed you. This is why we haven't kept you safe. Because we –as a generation -- decided that being right is more important than doing right. So, Brave Ones, decide differently. Don't fear each other. Talk instead of tweet. Ask Questions. Be curious instead of judgmental. Seek first to understand. Listen to the kids whose parents have brainwashed them differently than your parents have brainwashed you. Fight bad policy instead of each other. Think beyond. Beyond party, beyond race, beyond gender, beyond sexuality, beyond tribe, beyond your parents, beyond Congress, beyond the Presidency…. YOU ARE THE GENERATION of BEYOND. The categories we've made for ourselves are killing us. Disregard all of them, and be humans a

(148)" ― Victoria Moran, Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul For Lifelong Beauty Interview with Marie Jackson www.organizedmarie.com "I created Organized Marie to help women live an organized life. I'm a full-time working mom that knows first hand the struggles to stay organized. I've been organizing since I was a kid. If I saw a space that wasn't organized, I'd organize it almost immediately even if it wasn't my home. Growing up, school was a huge struggle for me. I had a learning disability and had to see a specialist from third grade to ninth grade. In high school, I was in the math class a year behind my peers. I was usually on the B honor roll, occasionally A. It took a lot of work to get there. There's no way that wouldn't have happened if I wasn't organized. College came and that was ten times harder. I remember getting my first D in one of my classes which had never happened to me before. I had an anxiety attack. I was playing soccer for the university and was terrified I'd become ineligible. After meeting with my professor, we agreed to get me a tutor. She really helped me bet back on track. Throughout the rest of college, I had tutors, most of them were my teammates. Playing soccer and going to college was hard. I had to find time to work with my tutors. All of this forced me to be organized beyond belief. It helped control my anxiety. Tests would always make me nervous but the more prepared I was, the less stressed I was. I remember my freshman year on the soccer team, a few of my teammates thought I was a straight A student because of the amount of work and organization I did, I only wish! Throughout my working career being organized has lead me to successes. It's helped me stay consistent, persistent, and most importantly keep my stress level down. Now that I'm a mom, being organized is more important than ever. You never know what your child might need. You of course only learn this when you're out somewhere and realize you don't have what you need #momlife. What I've learned about organizing throughout my life is that it's a journey, not a destination. Being organized has been so beneficial in my life and it can be really beneficial for you too. Let's go on this journey together because that's my mission, helping you reduce stress and inspiring you to live an organized life."

Diary of a 2 year old: Today I woke up and wanted to get dressed by myself but was told "No, we don't have time, let me do it." This made me sad. I wanted to feed myself for breakfast but was told "No, you're too messy, let me do it for you." This made me feel frustrated. I wanted to walk to the car and get in on my own but was told, "No, we need to get going, we don't have time. Let me do it." This made me cry. I wanted to get out of the car on my own but was told "No, we don't have time, let me do it." This made me want to run away. Later I wanted to play with blocks but was told "no, not like that, like this…" I decided I didn't want to play with blocks any more. I wanted to play with a doll that someone else had, so I took it, I was told "no, don't do that, you have to share." I'm not sure what I did, but it made me sad. So I cried. I wanted a hug but was told "no, you're fine, go play". I'm being told it's time to pick up, I know this because someone keeps saying, "Go pick up your toys." I am not sure what to do, I am waiting for someone to show me…."What are you doing, why are you just standing there, pick up your toys…Now." I was not allowed to dress myself or move my own body to get to where I needed to go, but now I am being asked to pick things up. I'm not sure what to do. Is someone supposed to show me how to do this? Where do I start? Where do these things go? I am hearing a lot of words but I do not understand what is being asked of me. I am scared and do not move. I lay down on the floor and cry. When it was time to eat I wanted to get my own food but was told "no, you're too little, let me do it." This made me feel small. I tried to eat the food in front of me but I did not put it there and someone keeps saying "here, try this, eat this…" and putting things in my face. I didn't want to eat anymore. This made me want to throw things and cry. I can't get down from the table because no one will let me…because I'm too small and I can't. They keep saying I have to take a bite. This makes me cry more. I'm hungry and frustrated and sad. I'm tired and I need someone to hold me. I do not feel safe or in control. This makes me scared. I cry even more. I am 2. No one will let me dress myself, no one will let me move my own body where it needs to go, no one will let me attend to my own needs. However, I am expected to know how to share, "listen", or "wait a minute". I am expected to know what to say and how to act or handle my emotions. I am expected to sit still or know that if I throw something it might break….But, I do NOT know these things. I am not allowed to practice my skills of walking, pushing, pulling, zipping, buttoning, pouring, serving, climbing, running, throwing or doing things that I know I can do. Things that interest me and make me curious, these are the things I am NOT allowed to do. I am 2. I am not terrible…I am frustrated. I am nervous, stressed out, overwhelmed, and confused. I need a hug. Author unknown Mom Is In Control Mastery Program Apply today: www.momisincontrol.com

Before leaving corporate America to support other women full-time, Sarah spent her 15-year career navigating the corporate world, where she managed a P&L worth hundreds of millions of dollars, worked closely with Marianne Williamson, mentored dozens of women, and balanced motherhood at the same time. As her career progressed she was frequently the only woman in the room as the executive team made decisions for customers, product development, financial projections, company direction and company culture. Knowing that women play a crucial part in the overall health of our communities, it was the Dalai Lama's quote "The world will be saved by the Western woman" in 2010 that really sparked a deep passion and began to drive Sarah's work. When she decided to leave corporate, she found a whole new world inside the culture of entrepreneurs and the amazingly creative drive women bring to the economy and our society. She knew her extensive business background would help her serve entrepreneurs as they strive for their dreams. In a quest to make sure women are empowered with every tool needed to fulfill on the Dalai Lama's promise, Sarah founded her companies and started creating events, workshops and courses and she became a regular contributor for The Huffington Post. Through her companies, and her Redefining Success Events, she now speaks around the nation, offering her courses, products and workshops, all designed to inspire, inform, ignite passion and bring the power of femininity forward. Her focus is on taking better care of ourselves, developing a healthy relationship to money, creating challenging goals and learning how to lean back just as often as we lean in. Her companies have become known and trusted brands around the world and one of her businesses was recently featured on The Today Show.

During this episode we talk about: The "Wholistic" approach to finance. I love to talk about how we've been "duped" by Wall Street, and how we can eliminate the risk and the fess that rob us of our wealth. How can we let our money grow, using it now for the things we need, and still have a retirement account that is tax-free to use in retirement? Why what we've been taught doesn't work for most people, and how women can take control of their lives by having the resources at hand to have, or do, or be, anything that they want. Cheryl has been an entrepreneur for over 35 years, and some of that as a single mom. A former financial adviser, she now speaks across the country sharing the TRUTH about money, and how it can work for us in our lives. In the last few months, she's been featured on FOX News, Huffington Post, Highlighted in GoBankingRates 5 million subscribers, and been a guest on over 50 syndicated radio shows and podcasts Her holisitic approach helps women get out of debt, and have tax free income in retirement- without all the financial mumbo jumbo.
