Akeelah and the Bee Is Now Showing!

From: Doug Atchison
Sent: Fri Apr 28 15:23:14 2006
Subject: AKEELAH opens today

Dear Friends and Family,

After years of perservering, my Nicholl-winning script, AKEELAH AND THE BEE, is being released nationally today by Lionsgate Films. Lionsgate was the only studio willing to let me direct the script and stay true to the story I wanted to tell. I'm extremely proud of the finished film. For those of you who don't know, AKEELAH is about an 11-year-old girl from South LA who competes to get into the National Spelling Bee. Akeelah is played by the remarkable newcomer Keke Palmer, and Laurence Fishburne plays her mentor and Angela Bassett her mother. We set out to make an entertaining, inspirational, and -- dare I say -- important movie, and I think we succeeded.

Because Lionsgate is a smaller studio, they cannot afford the massive media buys that other studios employ to promote their movies. Thus, we're relying on word-of-mouth primarily to find the broad audience this movie should have. I've just spent six weeks touring the country and showing the film to wildly enthusiastic audiences, who I then beg to email everyone they know about it.

And now I'm asking the same of you. Please go see AKEELAH, and if you like the picture, tell your friends and families about it. Spread the word! It's the type of movie that doesn't often get made, and I want to prove all those studios wrong who told me it wouldn't be profitable. Through strong word-of-mouth, friends telling friends telling friends, AKEELAH the film can be as successful as Akeelah the character.

Thank you much!

Warmest wishes and all the best,

Doug Atchison

Kids Talk: Teaching the Three R's - http://www.kidstalknews.com

Reading. Writing. Arithmetic. These are the basic academic skills. There are also three R's that are important to our leadership abilities--Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness.

I would like to give credit to the person who initiated this phrase, but when I did a search for these 3 R's on the educational research data base (ERIC), I received over 59,000 matches. About ten years ago I first came across the concept of the 3 R's of leadership and began using them with my elementary-aged students.

Principles control the consequences of our choices. This was a concept I wanted my students to understand through direct experience. The immediacy of using the 3 R's was evident as students went through their decision-making process. Before acting, our students were encouraged to ask themselves three questions: Am I acting respectfully? Am I responding with ability to the situation? Have I thought of all my resources?

The consequences of using or disregarding the principles of the 3 R's became evident to these elementary-aged students. The 3 R questions also gave them some language to discuss challenges and the effects of different choices with each other and with their teachers. Some of the outcomes we discovered together follow:

Respect. The consequences of respecting yourself are that you like yourself and trust yourself to be a person of integrity. Not respecting yourself gives you the opposite consequence. Respecting others and their property gives you their trust and mutual respect.

Responsibility. Responding with ability gives you the confidence to know that you tried the best you knew how. It also helps you examine how you might have done things differently and how you might want to react in the future. The consequences also allow reflection on skills you might want to develop. Disregarding your responsibilities can put yourself and others in a mess fast.

Resourcefulness. The consequence of being resourceful is that you can be creative and think outside the box and do things in a way that can be uniquely yours. Otherwise, you might sit around all day and say, ''I can't do that because….''

The students in my classroom of six- to nine-year-olds loved putting on plays. We had a book of one-act plays that the students enjoyed practicing and performing. When we first started with our plays, we ran into difficulties with students dropping out before the play was performed, not learning their lines or complaining that the props or costumes were not right. A new staff member introduced the concept of having a performance contract that stated the practice times, performance date and time and the responsibilities of each person in the play. The contract idea was a stroke of genius for highlighting consequences of using, or not using, respect, responsibility and resourcefulness.

The plays with the contract, besides encouraging reading, writing and dramatic skills, forced the students to put the principles of the 3 R's to use. Not getting along with another cast member? Use the 3R's.

Someone not learning his or her lines? ''Are you responding with ability?'' I'd hear them ask each other. Need a mountain for a prop? How about the refrigerator box in the garage, draping a sheet from the ceiling, or painting on a large window? ''That's being resourceful,'' the students said.

We had a few shows that never made it to performance due to more than one participant's disregarding the 3 R's. Disregard respectfulness, and no one wants to work with you. Disregard responsibility, then people don't know their lines and props, or costumes aren't prepared. Disregard resourcefulness leaving a ''can-do'' attitude on the table, then working on the play is not fun, and creativity doesn't get a chance to emerge.

Principles control the consequences of our choices. Using the 3 R's of respect, responsibility and resourcefulness can teach our children the results of their decisions and actions.

Mother's Day Acitivites

by Kimberly L. Bytheway and Diane H. Loveridge, authors of Traditions

Our family has found true joy and bonded through the celebration of Mother's Day, as we have focused on the lives and contributions of our mothers and grandmothers. It has become a great tradition to also recognize the many "mothers" around us, women with or without children, including sisters, aunts, teachers, and neighbors who have been wonderful examples in our lives.

Paper Favor-Flower Bouquet

Have each member of the family make a flower out of construction paper. Help them come up with a service that they can do for Mom or Grandma. Write the idea down on their own flower, and then put the flowers in a basket or vase to present. Label the bouquet as "favor flowers." Then set aside a day when the entire family can carry out their tasks together.

A Garden for Mom

Spend the Saturday before Mother's Day planting a flower garden. Have each child choose a different flower he or she would like to plant for Mom, and spend the afternoon putting them in the ground as a family.

Children's Photograph

Each May, have a family photography taken, just of the children, to remind Mother of the joy she has in her children. Choose a particular spot in the home to display the picture. Then, each year on Mother's Day, replace the picture with an updated one.

Mom's Makeover

Take Mom out to the nearest beauty parlor and treat her to a total makeover. Watch as they changer her hair, do her makeup, and pamper her all around. Stay close by and chat as she receives a manicure, pedicure, and facial massage.

Pamper Pack

Each year, give Mom a "pamper pack." Every member of the family includes a gift in the package that Mom can use to indulge herself. It may be some lotion, some perfume, or just a good book that Mom can enjoy reading during some relaxation time. Each year she will look forward to getting her pack with which to spoil herself, and the family will enjoy coming up with new ways to help her do so.

Homemade Picture Frame

Make a family picture frame. Each child could do his or her own frame, or the family could all work together on one frame. Fashion a frame for a photo or spend time decorating a mat for a framed family picture. Have each person sign the mat or add a little drawing to show his or her personality. This is a great gift for Grandma to show off to her friends.

Gift of Doing Nothing

Gather the children and assign chores and tasks to give Mom or Grandma a "do nothing" day. Have the children work together to cook meals, clean rooms, and fold laundry. Save a seat in the house where Mom or Grandma can oversee the production while reading from a favorite book or listening to her favorite music.

Poetry

Dig deep into your creative side and write a yearly poem to Mom. Reminisce on your childhood memories or simply bring back the highlights of the past year. Save the poem in a book to be added to on each Mother's Day.

Breakfast in Bed

Mother's Day is a wonderful time to treat Mom to breakfast in bed. Cook all of her favorite, and don't forget to accent with flowers or greenery. If she could rather, make it simple, with yogurt and fruit, or get elaborate with omelettes and crepes. She will enjoy her meal under the covers no matter what you prepare!

Ladies' Luncheon

"All the females in our extended family eight years of age and older have a special luncheon the day before Mother's Day. We dress in our best and all have a great time being together as mothers and future mothers." -Kay Cannon

Summer 2006 Yoga Training Intensive + House Sitting Service

Dear AYC students and friends,

Bryan and I have finally had time to put together a teacher training intensive. It begins this summer,please visit this link http://www.aryoga.com/TeacherTraining.htm if you are interested.

A statement from Lisa Bracken, one of our teacher trainee’s:
“I just went to your site and saw the summer intensive!!!! HOW FABULOUS!!!!!!!
That is such a great idea and I am forwarding an email regarding that to a bunch of people TODAY!! That is going to be such a fantastic experience; the only thing that bothered me about my training with Tias Little in Santa Fe was the lack of relationship. There were 40-50 of us there for the week, and I had no one-on-one time with him.
"When I was looking for a teacher, I wanted to find someone with whom I could develop a long-term relationship, someone I could correspond with on a regular basis, someone that I felt comfortable writing emails to and asking questions about asana, business, philosophy, and all the other engrossing aspects of not only practicing yoga, but in running a yogic business. I found that in you (you're stuck with me now), and I am so grateful to Karen Thomas for telling me about you. And I am even more grateful to you for taking me on board. So, I feel very strongly that this intensive is going to be a wonderful way to incorporate the whole relationship aspect into your teacher training program.

7 Signs It's Time to Fire A Client

It's an issue faced by business owners worldwide -- having to let go of, or "fire" a client. When I started my business, it's not a situation I ever thought I would face, as I was happy to take on almost anyone that wanted to hire me. However, over time, my client scrutinizing skills became more acute, and I began to realize that not every client is a perfect client for me. In fact, more than 50% of the people I speak with are not a good fit for one reason or another. Just like Donald Trump in "The Apprentice", sometimes you just have to say, "You're fired!"

What happens to your business when you keep clients that are PITA (I'll let you figure out that acronym) clients? All of your time and energy is drained in serving these clients, you lose any enthusiasm you ever had for your business, and you no longer have the time or desire to go out and market yourself and continue to fill your client roster. You become angry and resentful of the clients that are dragging you down and begin to question yourself about why you started a business in the first place.

Disengaging from a poor client choice can be painful, and often it's not easy. However, given the alternative, letting go of that client is a healthy route to follow. I found a great quote on the topic of "letting go" by author Benjamin Shield in his book, Handbook for the Soul: "Letting go is one of the most difficult challenges human beings ever face. I've always pictured letting go as transformation moving from a closed fist to an open hand. As we take an open-handed attitude toward life, we can be free of the self-made obstructions that litter our path. This process requires a willingness to shed our persona--those inauthentic trappings we hold onto for identity but that no longer serve us. The choice to let go frees us to follow the pathway to our soul."

I can very much relate to this quote -- freeing yourself from a bad client choice does provide the pathway to follow your soul. Finding the perfect clients with whom you resonate will bring joy back into your life and business once again, thus putting you back in touch with your business and life vision and reconnecting to your soul. Life is too short to work with PITA clients. Check your client roster against these 7 signs -- is it time for you to shake out your client roster?

1. You dread every phone call from the client. If you're constantly ducking someone's call because you find it painful or exhausting to speak with them, or the conversation invariably makes you angry or resentful, it's time to take some action to remedy the situation. How much more would you enjoy your day-to-day client interactions if you looked forward to taking your client's calls?

2. The client nitpicks every single expense and insists that tasks should take anyone else as long to do. I've had clients who "knew" I was shortchanging them and insisted that what I was doing for them wouldn't take others in my field as long to complete, and I should adjust my bill accordingly. I've discovered that this lack of trust is about the client, not about me, and that I'm more than competent and skilled in what I do. Don't let a "nitpicker" make you doubt yourself --there are other client fish in the sea.

3. Emergency requests are the only type of requests your client makes of you. No one likes to be under the gun, and trying to do something quickly and under pressure stifles all creativity and thoroughness. Some people are addicted to adrenaline and like to stay in the urgent all the time. However, living the urgent is a high-stress way to live your life, and the toll it takes on body and spirit is substantial. A better client choice is someone who adequately plans and prepares his time, so that emergencies are rare.

4. Lack of client follow-through prevents any progress from being made. Do you spend all of your time with a client in review of plans and what's supposed to be done, yet seldom ever get to the point of completion so that you can move to the next stage? Nothing is more frustrating than a client who says she wants to achieve a certain result, but seems to be immobilized in the planning stage. Consequently, you spend all of your time with the client in review rather than in action. Perhaps you're able to put on a "coaching" hat and help the client see the roadblocks she's facing. However, if she's unwilling to discuss what's stopping her and your frustration level is growing at her lack of action, it's probably time to cut her loose and let her go.

5. Your client loves to micromanage. Typically, when I'm hired by a client, they have a problem to solve and I offer the perfect solution to their problem. However, I've had clients who don't let me solve their problem in the way that I think is best. They insist on having to approve every step along the way and must be involved in every single detail. In many cases, they are accustomed to having employees and erroneously believe that good management entails micromanaging each step an employee takes. A great client is someone who hires you to solve a problem and doesn't really care how you resolve it -- they are willing to give you the room and latitude to bring your experience to the table and help them resolve their issue.

6. Delegation is a skill completely foreign to your client. Most business owners know that in order to be successful in your business, you can't do it all alone. A successful business owner has a great team to which she consistently delegates tasks that she doesn't have the time to do, while she is out there looking for new business opportunities. If your client refuses to let go of anything and insists on doing the very things you were hired to do, your client hasn't grasped the notion of "lost opportunity costs". Sometimes it's simply easier for a business owner to work "in" the business rather than "on" the business, as the latter usually means that you have to be in the marketing and sales mode -- a mode that many business owners hate. A great client does what she does best and delegates the rest.

7. Money issues plague your client. Can your clients really afford to hire you? Sometimes they're in a start-up phase, or they're just experiencing a cash flow crunch. They obsess over your fee in every conversation that you have, and are usually slow to pay your invoices. The time and energy you spend in chasing their payment is very draining. A better client is one who understands your payment requirements and is easily able to afford and pay your fee.

I realize that it takes time and a visit to the "school of hard knocks" to finely tune your ability to choose clients that are a perfect fit for you. Take a look at your standards for running your business -- perhaps to need to raise them so that you can make better client choices. And, the first standard to put into place is that you don't work with any clients you don't enjoy. Let go of those clients who are causing you pain, and new clients that are a better fit will show up in their place -- guaranteed!

Hey Ladies!! I need your help. I MUST locate some babies. If you know anyone with an infant, roughly less than 3-4 months, or anyone who is expecting in the next few weeks, please ask them if they would be willing to let me come to their home and record some baby sounds. I am totally stalled on this cd without some more sounds. If they have a pet, please feel free to offer them free pet training, as I would be happy to trade. I just have to get this done!

In case you don't remember or need some way to describe the project, this is from my brochure:

My New Best Friend is the ultimate training tool for introducing pets to the sounds of a baby. In a 20 minute series of escalating sounds, this audio compact disk presents sounds recorded from real babies. For the expectant parents, it contains a booklet of step-by-step guidlines outlining the keys to preparing and introducing your first baby to your new one, and online support featuring fequently asked questions.

Any help you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated. Kelly, if you could forward this plea to our WIN group, that would be fabulous. Anyone interested in helping can call me direct at 479-790-6977.

Thanks,
Denise
