Family Volley: I Have Been Keeping A Secret

For the last few weeks I have been keeping a secret. It has been really hard not to say something. But today, I can finally fill you in. You might want to sit down for this :).

A little over a year ago I found Listen to Your Mother (LTYM).

LTYM is a national series of live readings by local writers in celebration of Mother's Day. Each Listen to Your Mother show is locally produced and directed.?

I have been a mother for over 10 years. It has been the most challenging and rewarding experience of my entire life. It has defined who I am. ?Just like all of you, I have stories of motherhood to tell. I have feelings and understandings to talk about.

The mission of each Listen to Your Mother production is to take the audience on a well-crafted journey that celebrates and validates mothering. LTYM gives the good, the bad, and the ugly of motherhood, a voice.

It is a magical night where women come together to share stories and share a stage.

The most exciting part, I will be the Producer/Director of Listen to Your Mother, Northern Utah. Coming Mother's Day 2013. I am humbled, grateful, excited, nervous, and overwhelmed.

Yep, we are bringing this national event right here to Utah and you are all invited. I couldn't be more excited!

There will be lots more details to come, but now that the official announcement has been made, we can start talking about this exciting event.

Producing and directing a night that celebrates Motherhood? What could be better?

The launch video went live today. Take a look. Feel free to share the excitement with your friends. Especially if you, or they, live in Utah. I would love to meet all of you at the auditions, and the event.

Here are a few facts, just to clear things up.

You do not have to be a mother to participate. You can write about your mother, another mother, a grandmother, even single-fatherhood. As long as it's your authentic story and a tribute to mothering.

You do not have to be a professional actor or writer. Everyone has a story and we want to hear yours.

LTYM is not open mic. Each Listen to Your Mother is auditioned, directed, produced and rehearsed with professional production values, creating a well-crafted and memorable theatrical experience.

Do you want to read in the LTYM Utah production? Of course you do! Audition details will be announced late Winter-early Spring 2013. And there will be plenty of information coming soon to our individual city page.

What an exciting journey the next few months will be.

Milwaukee Community Journal ? WISCONSIN'S LARGEST ...

Written by admin ? // November 9, 2012 ? // 0 Comments

MILWAUKEE, WI ? This holiday season, TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, encourages people to change the way they think about eating during family gatherings to avoid seasonal weight gain. Being prepared, having a game plan, and staying positive are all keys to mindful eating during celebrations, allowing you to enjoy time with loved ones without worrying about your food choices.
??
TOPS offers several tips to help you enjoy Thanksgiving and other upcoming holiday get-togethers without regret:
? Eat before ? Eat something light before you attend a holiday meal or buffet. Vegetables with low-calorie dip, salad, a handful of walnuts, or light yogurt curb your appetite and make it easier to control your intake.
? Bring a dish ? If you know the hostess, offer to bring a healthy ?dish to pass? that you won?t feel guilty about enjoying, like simple sweet potatoes or a low-fat green bean casserole.
? Modify recipes ? Exchange sugar and fat in recipes with healthier alternatives, such as honey, olive oil, and applesauce. Include ?high-impact? flavors from spices, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and fresh herbs.
? Limit alcohol ? Alcohol is an appetite stimulant. Sip slowly or have a nonalcoholic drink instead. A calorie-free beverage allows you to use those calories for food.
? Choose carefully ? Some ?best bets? at the buffet include fresh fruit, whole-grain crackers with hummus or reduced fat cheese, shrimp cocktail, crab, pretzels, turkey breast, and lean ham.
? Think simple ? Choose foods cooked without butter and sauce. As a general rule, fried foods or foods covered with sauces add 10 grams of fat, or 90 calories, per serving.
? Trick yourself ? Use salad plates and slender glasses. Smaller dishes cause you to take less, while giving the illusion that you are actually eating more.
? Don?t feel guilty ? If you ?overdid it? at the meal or party, don?t give up. Just eat carefully for the next day or two and add extra activity to avoid gaining extra pounds.
? Don?t keep leftovers ? If you are hosting Thanksgiving or other holiday meals, be sure to send leftovers home with your guests to avoid temptations. Put leftovers away immediately to avoid unnecessary snacking.
? Consider a nap alternative ? Make an after-meal walk, game of touch football, or trip to an ice-skating rink part of your holiday tradition. Sign up and train for a ?turkey trot? 5K race in your area, commonly held the morning of Thanksgiving. Or spend the afternoon volunteering at a local soup kitchen or shelter.
? Exercise ? Increase your normal exercise routine the day before and after the holiday. This should help to compensate for possible overeating and lack of physical activity while visiting with friends and family.
TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is the original weight-loss support and wellness education organization. Founded more than 64 years ago, TOPS is the only nonprofit, noncommercial weight-loss organization of its kind. TOPS promotes successful weight management with a ?Real People. Real Weight Loss.SM? philosophy that combines support from others at weekly chapter meetings, healthy eating, regular exercise, and wellness information. TOPS has about 170,000 members ? male and female, age seven and older ? in nearly 10,000 chapters throughout the United States and Canada.
