Three Day Conference with AAMFT was amazing

It was an exhausting week, but well worth it. Now I want to put up my Christmas decorations before I miss Christmas because time is speeding by. One day I would like to attend a conference live in the States, but I still I have an old pet who needs me. As for my clients, the more I learn, the more I can offer them. The weather here went from warm to freezing in just a short time. Anyhow, I would like to continue with some theology notes as well this week. More soon......

For Love of Country - Military Policewoman

He suddenly sprang away from me, holding me at arm’s length. I was surprised and pleased. As he escorted me back to my seat, I relished his reaction to my new occupation. Ridding myself of him had been easy. I enjoyed the remainder of the evening. Someone announced that I was leaving Toronto, and a fuss was made. By the end of the evening, Sam was drunk. We all teased him mercilessly as we walked him to the bus stop. Sam was always in control, always serious, and forever the true gentleman. Seeing him intoxicated was refreshing. I had seven days left, but I would miss everyone terribly. The following day was to be my last with the security firm. It began with the harsh ringing of the telephone in my room at only ten minutes to six. Ken, my supervisor, needed me earlier for the day’s work assignments at Bell Canada. Sam was a half hour late arriving. This was extraordinary as he had never been late before. Sandy arrived to relieve me at eleven so I could provide security for the football game at the Exhibition grounds. I was teamed with Paul, who was vulgar, but cute. At a quarter to four I was on the move again; now I was being sent to supervise security at the Markham Fair with Carl. ” Excerpt From: Silva Redigonda. “For love of country : military policewoman. www.silvaredigonda.ca Today, Remembrance Day, I want to acknowledge all those who have died during war. I want to especially say a prayer to my friends who have been in war and have since died. I miss you.

The Ref (1994) - Therapy Session - Intro to Effective Systemic approaches to resolve high conflict co-parenting:keys to success (some swearing words) Today is day 2.

Tomorrow, Thurs and Friday I am attending the conference. I tried to cut and paste what I am attending - no luck. Humour requried.

The next evening I returned to the Ranch with Sandy, her sister May, and Sam for a few drinks. Sandy and I had met Sam at the security firm where we worked. Both Sandy and I had previously worked in an office full time. Sandy left to work for a security firm and enjoyed it, so when my boss said his company was not in the position to offer me an increase in salary, I resigned and started to work at the security firm part time: I enjoyed security more than office work. I started to work full time, but though it was fun, I knew it was not sufficient. I had always wanted to travel and be a policewoman. What occupation could offer me both? We decided to go dancing at the Calek Club. It was my first time there, though several of my friends had frequented this venue. “Would you like to dance?” an unfamiliar voice asked from behind me. I accepted willingly. As we danced, his arms tightened around me. “Do you come here often?” he asked. “First time,” I replied. He continued to move his body closer to mine. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. “You seem to be celebrating,” he whispered into my ear. “We are. I’m joining the Canadian Armed Forces,” I replied proudly. I felt his arms loosening from me. “What are you going to be doing?” he asked cautiously. “I’m going to be a Military Policewoman!” I exclaimed.

TGIF (Thank God it's Friday - to those from countries who may not feel this) and Tid bits

I have caught up with client work and am doing fairly well. Since the loss of Holy Terror, I took the time to baby Mr Attitute who is replacing much of Holy Terror's duties, such as greeting me with kisses every morning and trying to imitate her vocal cords. We are almost back to normal. I am still waiting for Revenue Canada to do my taxes after contacting them four times. Really? I have caught up with telling them how annoyed I am. I am behind in paper work which is normal and my book stuff has taken a back seat. I had sent out my last book for traditional publishing and am waiting for two more responses. Traditional is difficult to find when you are an independant author, however, it is possible. I have reached out with my own self publisher and told her what I am doing. I need to reach out to more traditional publishers and again that could be a full time job. Authors have become big business for scammers and publishers who are finding ways to diminish costs. It does get tiresome. So, I have had to put that aside since my practice gets busier in the Fall when the sun is not so bright. I have another three day conference with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists which I will be attending on-line and have managed ideas to work around it. I have taken much more education hours than I need, but I think it is important to keep up to date with whatever is out there. My hair has gotten darker because my hairdresser cannot keep me as a blond. I have decided to continue seeing him to wash and set and to find another who knows how to provide me with my favourite colour of the moment. I shall keep him, because he is funny and charming. I wish he would take half the courses I do so he could learn how to colour. How complicated can it be? Oh boy. I have received my flu shot and will be getting my 5th vaccine for the pandemic. What fun. So, that is all for now. Today will be a short day and then my weekend arrives. I am really looking forward to it. It is supposed to be 20 tomorrow and I am debating putting up my Christmas lights while it is still warm. However, I am still in the Hallowe'en spirit. I normally get into the Christmas spirit at the first fall of snow. It energizes me like the sun. I was actually looking at a Christmas bus trip to Florida just incase I may want to do that in the future. I love travel. However, I don't know if I can be in the Christmas spirit when it is beautiful and sunny and I can go swimming? Time will tell. For now, I am busy working but keeping it balanced. Also, if you are a charity organization in Toronto I can provide you with copies of my first book, "Hey Guy Buy Me". It does need to be a legitmate charity so scammers, I am not in the mood for you. I stopped providing pro bono therapy because I was reminded by Revenue Canada that I am not a charity organization so cannot claim anything if I do that. My books however, I will not claim but am able to help charities, because it was my first book and I ordered lots. Of course I never made that mistake again. Live and learn. So that is all for now. I have lots of notes for you. So be patient with me. If you want to buy my books or ebooks regardless of where you are in the world, please feel free to order from me directly at www.silvaredigonda.ca or ebooks through my site or Indigo. Have a wonderful weekend. Mr Attitude is howling for me to privide him with fresh air and fresh lunch. What do you think?
