Arroe Collins Like Its Live Unplugged And Totally Uncut

The hollowed out feeling of being empty is a choice... For you are never alone.

March 15, 2023

“Some people don’t know how lucky they are.” A quote from the television series Daisy Jones And The Six. My mother used this phrase many times while I was growing up. We always complained about living in a rundown home and wore used clothing. She wanted us to walk proud. The strength of those that walked before and with us is very present. It doesn’t come with light sabers and special skills to lift spacecraft from the water, but the spirit guides and keepers that are with us help clear the path. Some people don’t know how lucky they are.

Pod Crashing 201 With Dan Kitrosser From Svetlana Svetlana

In 1967, Joseph Stalin's daughter braved her way over the Iron Curtain, secret memoir in tow, and landed in America as the Cold War's most famous defector. At 40 years old, Svetlana had left everything behind for a new life in the West and the chance to finally share her story. What she found instead - a controversial commune in the Arizona desert built by Frank Lloyd Wright, a whirlwind marriage dictated by destiny, and a Montenegrin matriarch with dreams of immortality - was far more complicated. In Svetlana! Svetlana! neurotic playwright Dan Kitrosser unravels the weird and wild life of his greatest muse.

Being a daily writer I'm blessed to sit inside this forest to receive the message from the presence of a universe so giving.  Inside this journal called The Lyric's From Billy's forest I have four years of experience presented in word.  How each entry widens the heart to this collection of trees.  These are changing times.  So hot that fruit are sizzling on trees in the UK.  What do the other shapes of nature hear while we're experiencing the same climate?  By the time this journal is complete will the trees still be talking with me?  

A dazzling survey of more than 90 years of fashion on the Oscars red carpet

The Oscars red carpet is so much more than fabulous  gowns on famous people. It reflects the styles and values of each era  and has become a highly visible platform to make social statements. In Red  Carpet Oscars, fashion writer Dijanna Mulhearn presents more than  ninety years of fashion worn at the biggest event in the entertainment  world since its inception in 1929, charting what the stars wore and why.

From homemade and pre-loved dresses to  ready-to-wear and haute couture, she tracks the style evolution of  Hollywood's leading figures, the commercialization of the red carpet,  the emergence of stylists, and radical shifts that have reshaped  formal dressing.

This dazzling chronological survey showcases a  thousand looks over the course of nearly a century, with each annual  entry summarizing changes in fashion trends year-to-year, the stories  behind the styles, and the social and political influences  of the time, and making note of the winners in the Oscars' major acting  categories, as well as Best Picture and (starting in 1949) Best Costume  Design award recipients.

In addition to carefully curated images of the most  iconic and inspiring outfits through the years, this lavish volume  includes a foreword by Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett about the  theatrical nature of the Oscars red carpet and a  letter from legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani on witnessing  decades of changes at red carpet events.

From examining who inspired Marilyn Monroe's  signature bombshell outfit, what Jane Fonda look echoed protesters of  the Vietnam War, and why Halle Berry's 2002 dress was perfect for her  Best Actress Oscar win, Red  Carpet Oscars is  the ultimate fashion resource that celebrates both the glamour and the  impact of one of the most-watched red carpets in the world.

Not everyone takes notes nor do we challenge ourselves by placing it deep into our memory banks.  We don't know how to deal with the moment.

Making your way through a moment. Some call it a new season while others instantly label it bad luck.  Because I'm a daily writer the choice is to document the moments.  To learn from them on a future day and challenge.  We are very guilty of repeating.  It's a habit.  Whatever you're experiencing in your moment has a connection to other moments already played out.  Learning how to become aware starts with your ability to take notes.  Trust me, the human mind doesn't remember everything.  That's why they're called habits.  We keep doing them because we keep forgetting how we got there.  

Pod Crashing Episode 200 With Clayton English And Greg Glod From War On Drugs

In 1971, President Nixon declared drug abuse 'public enemy number one'- the first salvo in America's War on Drugs. Fifty years later, with drug overdoses in the US at a record high, are we any closer to 'victory'? The War on Drugshas a more profound effect on society than any of us really understands. It is embedded in the fabric of our culture and permeates our daily lives in visible and invisible ways -- perhaps the most daunting pandemic we face.

Lava for Good's The War on Drugs podcast, co-hosted by comedian Clayton English and Greg Glod, senior criminal justice fellow at Americans for Prosperity examines the true cost of five decades of policy, policing, and persecution. Special guests, including diverse subject matter experts, peel back the surface of this complicated period of US history, showing the ways the War on Drugs has fueled mass incarceration, exacerbated addiction and hampered economic progress. By shining a spotlight on how our communities have crumbled under the weight of this so-called 'war,' we can explore the politicization of public health policy, systemic racism and classism in the legislation and administration of criminal law, and how decriminalization and other alternatives could bring the fruitless 'war' to an end.
