Let's take a brief look at greed. Practically speaking, greed is an inordinate desire for more, an excessive, unsatisfied hunger to possess.
If you do everything you can, and you're still stubbornly stuck without a good idea, the best thing to do is stop. Really. And go do something else. Go play. Or go pamper: Take ridiculously good care of yourself. Go move. Take a walk, a run, a hike. Dance. However you do i

About Faith and Will “[A]n authentic, valuable, and introspective work” ( Library Journal ) from the bestselling author of The Artist’s Way . This inspiring book from the bestselling author of The Artist’s Way explores one of the most vital questions that spiritual seekers encounter on the journey to enlightenment: Where do I turn when my soul is urging me to keep growing toward God but my mind and being, stubbornly, will not follow? The author of more than thirty groundbreaking books that deftly trace the intersection between art and faith, between creativity and spirit, Julia Cameron has earned millions of fans around the world. In this, her most personal book to date, she provides a heartbreakingly honest and insightful depiction of her struggle to reconnect to her faith and her realization that having faith, of necessity, means relinquishing will. A wise and passionate book, Faith and Will gently guides readers through the process of learning to let go and, in turn, learning to live.

Why do men do so little at home? Why do women do so much? Why don't our egalitarian values match our lived experiences?Journalist-turned-psychologist Darcy Lockman offers a clear-eyed look at the most pernicious problem facing modern parents--how progressive relationships become traditional ones when children are introduced into the household. In an era of seemingly unprecedented feminist activism, enlightenment, and change, data shows that one area of gender inequality stubbornly persists: the disproportionate amount of parental work that falls to women, no matter their background, class, or professional status. All the Rage investigates the cause of this pervasive inequity to answer why, in households where both parents work full-time and agree that tasks should be equally shared, mothers' household management, mental labor, and childcare contributions still outweigh fathers'. How, in a culture that pays lip service to women's equality and lauds the benefits of father involvement--benefits that extend far beyond the well-being of the kids themselves--can a commitment to fairness in marriage melt away upon the arrival of children?Counting on male partners who will share the burden, women today have been left with what political scientists call unfulfilled, rising expectations. Historically these unmet expectations lie at the heart of revolutions, insurgencies, and civil unrest. If so many couples are living this way, and so many women are angered or just exhausted by it, why do we remain so stuck? Where is our revolution, our insurgency, our civil unrest? Darcy Lockman drills deep to find answers, exploring how the feminist promise of true domestic partnership almost never, in fact, comes to pass. Starting with her own marriage as a ground zero case study, she moves outward, chronicling the experiences of a diverse cross-section of women raising children with men; visiting new mothers' groups and pioneering co-parenting specialists; and interviewing experts across academic fields, from gender studies professors and anthropologists to neuroscientists and primatologists. Lockman identifies three tenets that have upheld the cultural gender division of labor and peels back the ways in which both men and women unintentionally perpetuate old norms. If we can all agree that equal pay for equal work should be a given, can the same apply to unpaid work? Can justice finally come home?

One of the most difficult lessons to learn and accept in our sport is that it will sometimes be necessary to rethink our decisions. However costly those decisions might have been, it usually proves even more costly to ignore the warning signs and stubbornly forge ahead. When we are working with genes Mother Nature often […]

Diversity programmes are everywhere. But despite all the intention and focus, progress is painfully slow. Homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny remain stubbornly pervasive, and unfortunately, many inclusion programmes do more to create negativity toward the diversity agenda than they do to bring about measurable and lasting change. Why isn't change happening more rapidly? What are we doing wrong? Or better yet, what should we be doing differently if we want to drive different outcomes? Although most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go so far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion. In the absence of knowing what to do, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. Unfortunately, this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help. This book is for anyone who wants to dive into the complex task of supporting diversity and increasing inclusion. It's filled with insight and practical know-how. It will help you navigate the polarised and divisive issues we face, and move beyond just talking about diversity to playing an active role in shaping an inclusive future.
A sweater for dirty stop outs, stubbornly staying up to watch the stars come out and the daisies shut up shop on those long summer nights…or just staying the in park that hour longer than you meant to…This design was inspired by the Victorian-medieval art of the pre-raphelites (dirty stop outs, the lot of them) and features the deeply scooped neckline and fitted sleeves with flared cuffs so beloved of the genre. This sweater weighs almost nothing and folds up tiny, so you won’t mind carrying it along or rolling it up into a bag just on the off-chance that you get an unexpected incentive to linger. I’ve worked mine in a mostly acrylic yarn to stand being repeatedly stuffed into the bottom of my capacious handbag and sat on in the grass. But this will make a delicious luxury knit with silk/and or wool and mohair mixes. Created using seamless bottom up yoke sweater construction there is a delicate open pattern on the yoke. Hemmed borders give a neat finish. This is worked at a very open and airy gauge and so makes a surprisingly quick knit despite the fine yarn. This sweater has been purposely designed to be an easy and relaxing knit. The simplicity of the shaping means that it is straightforward to adjust the sweater to your gauge, and notes are provided to assist you to do this - or indeed to knit a custom chest size. Finished chest sizes: XS – 80cm/31 ½ inches S – 90cm/ 35 ½ inches M –100cm/39 ¼ inches L – 110cm/43 ¼ inches XL -120cm/ 47 ¼ inches XXL – 130cm/51 ¼ inches My sample is modelled with about 2 inches / 5cm of positive ease. Test samples were mostly in the region of 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of positive ease. Yarn choices I suggest a yarn with a halo for this knit as the long fibres of mohair, angora or alpaca mixes “fill in the gaps” of the open gauge giving the fabric coherence without losing a summery airiness. This is not essential and some testers chose smooth yarns. The yarn I used (the Stylecraft Lace) is 3-ply (despite the name - and note that this yarn has been re-categorised by the manufacturer so is still showing up as 4-ply above) but you could experiment with suitable lace weight yarns held double or 4-ply yarns. Bear in mind that the yoke pattern does require a really open gauge to appear lacy - worked at a tighter gauge you will have a closed, textured pattern. The beautiful examples by Clintrer and ToneCecilie show just some of the many other shades available in the Stylecraft yarn, whilst the photos of other tester’s work shows the stunning results you can achieve with creative yarn substitution. Pattern also contains a separate sheet for download that offers guidance on adjusting the pattern for gauge.
Yarn Notes Yarn Specs The Brand This is an "extremely" fine kid mohair. The yardage is about twice as much as most other lace-weight kid-mohair yarns (284m to 14g). A garment can be knitted from just 3-4 balls of this yarn! And the garment is weightless, like air. If you'd like the pattern for the garment shown in the images (Kit 110), leave us a note with your order and we will email it to you. Exquisite as a weaver's warp, too, but be careful not to set them too close since the fluff will be "catchy". It would also be amazing held together with another find yarn, or even with a sparkly thread of Stellaris! Ingredients: 68% kid mohair 32% nylon Length: 284m (311yd) Weight: 14g / 0.5oz Gauge: Lace / Cobweb Needle size: 2.75 - 3.75mm (US 2 - 5) Why? Do we bother to take so much time and labor... actually weaving or knitting when there are so many good machine woven fabrics or knit wears? They are durable, inexpensive... Why? Because we must stubbornly believe all the care our actual hands give to each and every process of making a length of fabric creates something more than just a "look." It may be subtle, but you know when you wear and touch. You know when that fabric ages with you. You feel the thought of that person, who made it for you. We carry “slow” materials, not flashy, not necessary pretty, not cheap, not easy, but those that will give a soul to the fabrics. We would like to offer you the best and unique, rarely available. It took us many trips and years to discover & cultivate them. You do not have to do that. They are here. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
