What makes you, you?
Your identity is made up of multitudes — the stories you carry, the music you love, the challenges you overcome, the books you read, the communities you’re a part of, and more. But your identity is a colorful blend of not only what you consume or create, but also the questions you ask and what you’re willing to learn.
In her CreativeMornings talk, Lucy Bellwood shared, “When we box ourselves too tightly into a single identity or career path, we deprive ourselves of the nutrients necessary to remain connected to the world around us. We are lacking in vitamin curiosity.“
The things that make you unmistakably you are not just the eclectic edges, but the simple pillars, beliefs, and values that you simply can’t shake. What sort of spirit or energy do you bring to a room? How do you show up in the world? What are your pillars?
The most unique care and love you can give to your creative identity is to craft it with your own hands.
We are super excited to have on this month’s exploration of Identity Dr. Basmala Qasim Al-Lawati, a doctor and a mother in various ways...
Join us for live music, coffee and pastries from 8:30 am-11 am; the session will commence at 9 am sharp. Registration will start at 8:30 AM SHARP! The talk will be in Arabic.

Season of Generosity Event on Saturday, November 3, 2018.
This year during the First Baptist Church of Elkhart's
Season of Generosity, they decided instead of funding
a worthy cause, they would give of themselves; they wanted
to do something to help the community. They chose to give service to the Town of Bristol
by cleaning gravestones and raking leaves at Bristol's Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Bristol Town Manager Michael Mitchell wrote: "Fantastic morning with dozens
of volunteers. Thank you so much for your time and energy to make Bristol
a great community. It was an honor to work with such caring people."

While the site has generous views of Sarasota Bay and of Otter’s Key, the existing house is separated from the water’s edge by a plinth and a screened-in pool. The renovation and addition opens the existing house and connects to Sarasota Bay with a new set of 12’ wide stairs carved out from the existing plinth. The addition adds a mezzanine level, an interior stair, and a dining wing as well as a generous shaded porch on the bay side.
A glass bridge extends through the width of the house from the existing entry foyer to transparent metal balcony on the bay side, pulling the inhabitant toward the shaded porch and the bay. A two story storage wall separates a stair leading to the mezzanine from the living space. Built-in white and glass bookcases for the storage and display of the owner’s colored glass collection are accessed from the glass bridge. The glass bridge is supported by an exposed steel structure. The main beam slices through the two-story storage wall without touching it.
Sixteen feet of sliding doors pocket to open up the living to a new shaded porch on the water. The roof of the porch spans thirty feet over the elevated pool, framing long views over the bay, with only a delicate steel column holding its corner. The angle of the porch ceiling directs the view to the water and to the nearby mangrove island. Two cuts in the same roof turn the large porch into a three dimensional sundial. The sun reflects on the pool and bounces light back to the ceiling of this exterior volume.

Piaristenkirche Krems
Piaristenkirche and woman mountain tower - seen from the parish court Krems
The Piaristenkirche (church of the Piarists) in Krems, also Kremser Frauenbergkirche, is the oldest church in the city. The Roman Catholic Church perhaps the Saint Stephen was dedicated, the Patron saint of the diocese of Passau.
History
Piaristenkirche (left) seen from the guard mountain road (Wachtbergstraße) in Krems - ca. 1900
Since 1284 at this point a Marienkirche (Saint Mary's church) can be proven which in the late 15th Century as a church of the community of citizens, not as a parish church generously was extended. An altar consecration 1457 is mentioned, the south porch bears the date of 1477. The consecration of the church followed then in 1508, but it is expected that the final completion, as two building inscriptions show, followed not until 1514 and 1515. In its late Gothic form, this church is one of the most important of Lower Austria with a rich ribbed vault and elegant tracery shapes, in part already pointing into the Renaissance. In 1616 the church was given to the Jesuits, who subsequently built the monastery and school (Gymnasium). In 1776 they were replaced by the Monastery school order of the Piarists. The Baroque interior includes a large number of works by the important Austrian baroque painter Martin Johann Schmidt, called Kremser Schmidt. Among the most important, the high altarpiece Assumption of the Virgin, 1756, the right side altar, representing the founder of the Piarists Saint Joseph Calasanz, and the altars on the north and south nave walls (Saint Joseph and Saint Aloysius).

Frauenberg tower
Piaristenglocke (Piarists' bell)
When handing over to the Jesuits in 1616, this tower was excluded because it served the citizenry as a city tower (fire watch, bell signal). In its lower parts it dates from the early 13th Century but, as the Romanesque windows show, it was increased in the 15th century and received the characteristic small corner towers. In the Baroque period the large acoustic windows of the belfry were broken out.
The bell, called Kremser Piaristenglocke or Pummerin is the great city bell of Krems. It was cast in 1702 by Mathias Prininger in Krems. With a weight of 5016 kg and a diameter of 208 cm, it has the strike note g0+2 and is one of the biggest bells in Austria. It bears the interesting inscription
EN EGO CAMPANA NVNQVAM ANNVNTIO VANA BELLVM VEL VESTVM TONITRV IGNEM AVT FVNVS
Freely translated, it means "Look the bell am I/the void I never do proclaim/but therefore war and song of joy/ thunder and lightning as well as funeral march". The bell today still is rung manually and sounds only on high holidays and New Year's Eve.
Next to the door to the ascent to the tower a Jewish grave stone is built into the west wall of the church, which unfortunately shows clear signs of decay. By 1900, the writing was still legible, so that remained that this stone was dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Nachlifa (d. about 1395). Why Jewish grave stones after the destruction of the community in Krems 1421 were transferred from their graveyard to the city, where they also are to be found in town houses, only as a conjecture can be pronounced. Probably this happened in the 16th Century, as in a humanistic theory of language the Hebrew as root of all languages, as the oldest language of mankind was seen.

On August 7th, I was generously invited to join Donna Virgilio's Goddess Tour of Tintagel-Corwall. She was also a participant at the 2019 Sun Lover Goddess Conference in Glastonbury before having a group join her from the U.S. and Canada.
After a breakfast stop, we headed to Nectan's Falls, Boscastle, and Tintagel, where we spent time in King Arthur's Great Hall and Merlin's Cave on the beach below Tintagel Castle.
* "St. Nectan's 60-feet waterfall is reputed to be one of the top 10 spiritual sites in England. St. Nectan was a hermit who gave his name to the glen and. waterfall. Although, according to some sources, the name is a Christianized form of the Cornish water-god Nectan. The keive was seen as a potent Pagan symbol of Gaia and has been a place of reverence since before Christ. St. Nectan was said to have lived here and reputedly lies buried under the stone of the basin."
* Tintagel Castle is said to be the birth place of King Arthur.
