These words make much more sense to me now than they did when I was young. As I advance in years, there are many things I feel comfortable in saying that I know, but there are yet far many more that I cannot explain. One is how I have quite accidentally managed to surround myself with so many gifted, inspirational, and supportive people in my life because I most certainly would not be writing this if it were not for their belief in, and sacrifice for, my success. My family, my friends, colleagues, and teachers have all been instrumental in making school a safe and exciting place to be – a place where I could thrive. My children, who played a significant role in this study, were all the proof I needed that there are miracles, and they inspire me more than they realize. There are a few people who stand out and deserve special mention: Michelle, as a collaborator and confidante, without you this creative idea would have withered on the vine long ago. Your quiet brilliance, outrageous humor, and sound advice have inspired me to a life better than I had dreamed possible just a year ago. Allison, as a mentor and task master, you have inspired me to do my best work, and that was far beyond what I believed it could be. Steve and Michael, you believed in me from the start, and I hope one day I can be worthy to carry on the vital work you have begun. Your collective footpath in the field of social justice has inspired me and dramatically altered my life’s work — you are inspired teachers, and noted scholars. Mark, as a teacher and mentor, your example led to this work in more ways than just by example; you are an inspired intimate leader, and cherished friend. I will always be striving to live up to your standard. To my children, Tracy, Brennan, and Megan, you have inspired this work and are well on your way to being sensitive and caring spiritual leaders no matter what path you choose in life. Allow yourself the luxury of making mistakes and always look for the opportunity to be a v Nowhere Man light in someone else’s life. You will never regret the effort spent on someone else’s behalf — I love you more than I can say! One can never underestimate the importance of an inspirational place to write. I have been privileged to have access to some of the best. Sitting among the thousands of hand sewn texts in the Clark Field Archive; contemplating the view from the reading room in Widener Library; thinking on the balcony, though the air was so thick with history among the trees of Egrove Park; eating and sharing ideas at the dining room table of the main house at the Santa Fe Institute, all these places I have been allowed to share as I wrote this story. As a secular Franciscan, I would like to share with you a prayer, or blessing, that I read every morning for courage and strength, and hope that others may find it inspirational as well. Franciscan Prayer May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart… May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for freedom, justice, and peace… May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy… May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done… And the blessing of God who creates, redeems, and sanctifies be upon you and all those you love and pray for this day and forever more… Amen. vi Nowhere Man NOWHERE MAN: AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC REFLECTIONS ON IDENTITY, FAMILY, AND LEADERSHIP BY TRACY JOHN SKIPP ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education Educational Leadership The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico July, 2010 vii Nowhere Man NOWHERE MAN: Autoethnographic Reflections on Identity, Family, and Leadership By Tracy John Skipp B.U.S., International Affairs, University of New Mexico, 1995 M.A., Foundations of Education, University of New Mexico, 2001 Ed.D., Educational Leadership, University of New Mexico, 2010 ABSTRACT The purpose of this self study was to discover the values and attitudes I model as a leader to support people in doing their best work. Specifically, do I practice leadership intimacy as defined in this study? Leadership intimacy is defined by addressing these research questions: What values do I lead by? And, what attitudes and practices do I model as a leader? Autoethnography is a qualitative genre of research I used in this study. It describes the researcher and his or her personal experiences within a social context, in this case a research university. Autoethnography is often described as “exploring a particular life, to understand a way of life.” In this study, I reflected upon vignettes that illustrate how my values and attitudes as a leader have been shaped. These formed the basis for deeper reflection, discussions, and interviews to explain my practice. Interviews were conducted using the 360 degree model to collect data. The data were then analyzed using idea units. Idea units are discrete ideas that can be found in writing regardless of the language used to describe them. Coding for idea units in any narrative follows the same pattern or procedure regardless of the idea being coded. The attitudes and values most often cited were those demonstrating metanoia, humility, and viii Nowhere Man solicitude. I learned each one of these values from my children. As I reviewed each of these values, it became clear that a framework where life informs work informs life is the engine that drives leadership intimacy.

Publication Date 2021-08-13 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California THE RAINBOW CHILD By Lauren Keilani Kane A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors May 06, 2021 University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED Goldberry Long Department of Creative Writing Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Jr. Chair University Honors ABSTRACT I am writing a fiction novella following a girl throughout her life. Each chapter of the book is on a treasured object of hers and the significance it has to her major life events. There's a red stone, an orange carnival ticket, a yellow pen, a green brooch, a blue bracelet, an indigo pendant, and a violet cabinet. These items correspond to; her first day at school, the first time she looked forward to something but missed out due to fear, her birthday and entering a writing competition, her graduation and moving out, her wedding, her marriage, and the culmination of these events and the retelling of them to her granddaughter. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank my mentor, Goldberry Long, for guiding me through this process and being a great Creative Writing professor. Taking her class motivated me to do this project and gave me the confidence I needed to explore writing creatively. I would also like to thank my sister, Erin, and my fiancé, Justin, for supporting and encouraging me through this process. I dedicate this book to my grandma Ruth, who inspired these stories.

  • THESIS P TROTTA Title: the Potential Contribution Of
    1 THESIS P TROTTA Title: The potential contribution of psychosynthesis to education: an interview- based exploration of educators’ experiences of working with members of the ‘New Generations’ who are developing towards self-actualisation and self- transcendence. Submitted by Patrizia Trotta as a thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Submitted for examination in December 2012, revised thesis sent in May 2013. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Patrizia Trotta , MSc Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology Signature ........................................................ 2 ABSTRACT The intention behind this research was to reveal through two interpretive, inter-related studies the perceived needs of differently-labelled youth, collectively addressed in this thesis as ‘the New Generations’, exploring potentially viable ways of working with them in education. The first study focused on youth labelled Indigos, and the second study focused on exploring a possible way of working with the New Generations according to experienced teachers. Both studies drew on lived experience and opinions of educators who have acquired extensive experience respectively with the Indigo phenomenon and with the psychosynthetic educational model. The first study’s results revealed not only Indigos’ self-actualising and self-transcending characteristics and needs, but also indicated that holistic approaches to education appeared to have been successful with them.

  • Festspiele Vom 12. – 16. Mai 2021 Geht Weiter Neuanfang Nach Beziehungspause
    „Beziehungs-Weisen“: Programmplanung der Barock- Festspiele vom 12. – 16. Mai 2021 geht weiter Neuanfang nach Beziehungspause Vorverkauf ab Februar/März 2021 Nach einem Jahr erzwungener Pause setzen die Arolser Barock-Festspiele alles daran, an Himmelfahrt 2021 vom 12. bis 16. Mai an die bisher ununterbrochene Festspieltradition der letzten 35 Jahre anzuknüpfen. Alle Künstler der Ausgabe 2020 wurden dazu erneut nach Bad Arolsen eingeladen. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen kann das Programm so nachgeholt werden. Bürgermeister Jürgen van der Horst: „Die vielen persönlichen Zuschriften unserer langjährigen Besucher, die große Lücke in unserem städtischen Kulturkalender und in dem unserer Gäste sowie die großzügigen Spenden von Eintrittskarten sind uns eine Verpflichtung, auch bei unsicherer Lage die Arolser Barock-Festspiele 2021 weiter zu planen“. Bei Konzertformaten und der Spielstätten allerdings ist Flexibilität gefragt, denn der Infektionsschutz bleibt bis auf Weiteres fester Bestandteil des Spielplans. Der Beginn des Vorverkaufs wird in das neue Jahr verschoben. Die künstlerische Leiterin Prof. Dorothee Oberlinger zeichnet verantwortlich für ein Programm, das sich in sechs Festivalkonzerten um ein Kaleidoskop barocker Komponistenfreundschaften, Klangvorbilder und stilistischer Verbindungen dreht. „Musik entsteht nicht im luftleeren Raum!“, so Oberlinger. „Komponisten erschufen ihre Musik nie aus dem Nichts oder einzig aus einer großen singulären Begabung – auch sie selbst waren beeinflusst von starken Vorbildern, Kollegen, Freunden oder von

  • The Seed That Was Sown in the Colony of Georgia The
    THE SEED THAT WAS SOWN IN THE COLONY OF GEORGIA THE HARVEST AND THE AFTERMATH 1740-1870 BY CHARLES SPALDING WYLLY New York and Washington THE NEALE PUBLISHING COMPANY 1910 2 This transcript was typed by Amy Hedrick February 2006 3 4 Copyright, 1910, by THE NEALE PUBLISHING COMPANY 5 This work is respectfully inscribed to my friend, C. Downing, of Brunswick, Georgia, whose clear brain, kind heart and free hand is an example and inspiration "An honest heart is one that strongly feels The pulse of passion and the throb of pain, But asks assistance from a healthy brain To stem all morbid current sentiment, should it steal Into the veins with darkening stain; A heart light beating, which may reveal The torch of sin but struggles free again, Repentant, looking to the Lamb who heals. Not such my heart, a football for the crowd, Now high in air, now trampled on the ground, Till bruised, benumbed, and ossified, it lies, And mercy, Lord, should mutter ere it dies. 6 7 PREFACE When a writer has assumed the burden of reviewing the result of any great national decision it is impossible to ignore the surroundings and environments of the participants therein. The beliefs held by the adverse parties as essential articles of their faith become not only the causes but personages in the conflict: To one party immediate increase of prosperity and probable wealth seemed a creed entitled to universal assent. To a smaller number a patient awaiting for a natural growth and strength appeared a wiser choice. The first asserted "That in this climate a white man could not labor," the other claimed "That in a year a white man's labor was more than that of a slave." I have but moved the shadow backward on the dial: where now does it point? In endeavoring to give concisely and truthfully the political steps that finally led to the Break, I have been mindful that to the children of to-day the war of the sixties seems but "old history" and that any investigation into the causes of that war would appear like a groping for a former life, through and by the footprints found in fossil remains.

  • Crash and Burn’ from Upcoming Self Titled Album
    MY INDIGO RELEASES SECOND SINGLE ‘CRASH AND BURN’ FROM UPCOMING SELF TITLED ALBUM Listen HERE: https://lnk.to/crashandburn “CRASH AND BURN” LYRIC VIDEO: YOUTUBE Sharon den Adel, frontwoman for the platinum and gold-selling Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, releases Crash And Burn, the second single from her new project My Indigo (album released April 20). A bold, euphoric summery stomp, Crash And Burn (released on March 9 via MVKA) begins with plaintive brass melody motif before the story takes off, led by Sharon’s gorgeous, lyrical vocals. “I've met and worked with so many beautiful, inspirational people but what you see in this industry is a lot of temptations that are around,” Sharon explains. “Things can happen to you which can be addictive, like drugs, or being used to a certain kind of attention or success and you’ll always want to have that. Witnessing this first-hand Sharon notes, “The song was inspired by somebody I know, who's really talented but his life is one big roller coaster of highs but mostly lows and although many have tried they can't get him on the right track. He likes to live on the edge and when he falls he gets back up again, but I always wonder for how long”. The singer and songwriter is already a global name as frontwoman for Within Temptation, but My Indigo reveals another side to Sharon. Sharon is also no stranger to the pop and dance charts – in 2008 she had a hit as vocalist/songwriter for DJ Armin van Buuren’s single In And Out Of Love, which amassed over 200 million plays on YouTube to date.
