Thank you for listening. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for being there.
We all have our opinions on rules and life. Some believe in taking the road less traveled. Others are strict on living by the book and unspoken expectations. And some of us are stuck in-between. I can follow that metaphorical beaten path or run through the thick forest. But here I am, standing at the fork, wondering what to do. I’m not the first kid to break down and wonder where life’s taking him/her/hir.
I don’t know what is waiting at the end of the journey. No one does. Those three paths are exactly what they are, paths. Danger and treasure wait on each of them. What types of danger and treasure really depends on your Luck/Fate. I said I’ll keep myself honest. And honestly, I’m conflicted.
If I take that beaten path, I’ll do what everyone wants from me. Maybe I could learn to live by the rules, but that means burying the child inside of me. It means that I won’t be exactly myself.
If I go through the forest, I know I’ll be alone there. I’m not dragging you with me. I need to rely on my inner-strength, but I’m scared I’ll never find my way out.
So here I am, waiting at the fork splitting into two, wondering which to take. Either way, I’ll grow in some form or another. So who and what do I live for? And which path is my ticket to what I’m trying to accomplish? I need to zoom out and take in my surroundings all over again. I need to figure out what I want to make out of my life. Basically, I’m trying to say thank you for watching over me so far on this journey. Thank you for keeping me safe and sane.
Thank you for letting me grow.

Our understanding is that years ago, most of the dolls for little girls were rag dolls without faces. The Amish have retained this custom. We believe the reason is similar to the refusal to have pictures of people and is linked to the second commandment. (Exodus 20:4-6)"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"." At an early age children are learning not to have images, likenesses, idols."
In one short moment of time Annie and myself, put away our cultural differences and related on a level many people never know. Annie you are always with me in my heart.

porta con te
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone
----------------------------------------
Non posso lavare via tutto
Non posso desiderare che vada via tutto
Non posso sperare che vada via tutto
Non posso piangere via tutto
Il dolore che ti stringe
La paura che ti acceca
Rilascia la vita in me
Nella nostra vergogna comune
Noi creiamo degli idoli
Per non far loro vedere la verità
Che trova una strada da chi noi siamo
Ti prego non avere paura
Quando l'oscurità svanisce
L'alba spezzerà il silenzio
Gridando nei nostri cuori
Il mio amore per te cresce ancora
Faccio questo per te
Prima che io provi a combattere la verità per l'ultima volta
understanding - evanescence (come ovvio)
e ieri finalmente foto, il mio cervello ha finalmente tirato un sospiro di sollievo.. stavo scoppiando..

Our understanding of work is changing fast. Whereas once we could expect to work in the same employment or industry, our careers are now far more flexible. Automation, outsourcing, gender balance and the need to upskill all greatly impact our careers.
Industrialised societies are facing challenges unforeseen a generation ago. And while working hours become less predictable, productivity expectations keep increasing. So what lies ahead for Australian workplaces and workforces? And will we be able to retain a healthy work-life balance?

Over the past 25 years or more, scholars and policy makers have pushed several different education reform agendas. The No Child Left Behind Act reflected a nationwide push for assessment-based accountability that has since lost momentum. During this same time period, advocates of charter schools and voucher systems launched successful campaigns in some states and cities to expand parental choice, at least among disadvantaged families. Evaluation research reports mixed results from all of these efforts, and to date, researchers have not reached consensus concerning the design of policies that would generate more of the success stories of the past two decades while avoiding more of the failures. The panel will discuss how lessons learned during the past two decades should shape education policy going forward.
