A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by Dateline NBC in the Clark Rockefeller case, but if you blinked, you might have missed it. I knew the 30 minutes or so interview would be cut down, but I never expected it to end up being about 90 seconds! The day before the episode aired, they were able to interview some of the jurors, so most of my part was cut. Oh well.
I've posted the slides I made for the show, which we discussed during the interview: http://sheilalowe.com/documents/rockefeller.pdf

Friday evening Rita Frayer, Charlotte Gesling and I attended Gwenlyn's Artist Reception of her new show being held at the Coffee House of Peace Lutheran Church in Camarillo. The well attended event was a terrific showcase of Gwenlyn's talent. All pieces were lovely, from the smaller colored pencil pieces, through the incredible colored glass mosaic designs, and up to her Grand Polyptic suitably mounted on a bright red wall! If you have not seen Gwenlyn's work, you really should visit this show, titled, "Slices of Life" before it ends.

Over the weekend I lectured at a conference in Las Vegas given by the Public Safety Writers Association. Most of the attendees were in law enforcement who have written books or articles. I was there to talk about how handwriting analysis could help them understand their characters better by looking at what motivates them.
The hotel was off the Strip, my room was fantastic (and very inexpensive!). One entire wall was glass, looking out over a golf course and in the distance, the mountains.

Hi everyone! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the board and all the members for the cash gift I received this week. Beyond the money it is gratifying to know that what I do behind the scenes here on the website has not gone unnoticed.

Talk about perfect timing, too. My main system hard drive crashed (thank God for backups!), so this gift will enable a quick replacement.

Thanks again, everyone, this truly means a lot to me.

Best wishes,
Rick

Come to the June 11 general meeting for the installation of the new Leadership Team. As announced last month, the structure of the Board of Directors has changed to an executive board made up of 7 members, and committees to handle all the other jobs. The LT met for the first time on May 30 for a Team Retreat, where we got to know each other better and brainstormed ideas for growing VCPWN (Minutes of the meeting are posted on this site: http://vcpwn.org/node/24).

Here's the short answer...

1. The most important element the body needs for health is Air(oxygen). Without oxygen you will quickly die. It is important to oxygenate every part of your body with your breathing. Oxygen enters your blood through your lungs and gets carried throughout the body.

Breath exercise:
Inhale through the nose for 10 counts - stand straight expand the rib cage
Hold 10 counts, and
Exhale through the mouth 10 counts.

On May 14 (the day before my 70th birthday), my husband was delivering one of my 6-part polyptych art canvases on top of his van, which he thought was securely tied down, along highway 33 to the CSUCI Ventura gallery when he heard an awful sound. A gust of wind completely blew one part off into the brush and the second was smashed. He phoned me to come help him look for the missing part. From the car we found nothing. I sent him home with the remains and walked along the road for a mile or two. A stranger stopped and asked if I was alright.
