A MAGICAL MONTH!
By Shirley M. Carolan, ATM-G
February turned out to be a magical month, despite a few early setbacks, which I now have a handle on. I am happy to say I’ve developed new hobbies – things I’ve been interested in for years but never seemed to have time to explore, e.g., “Astral Projection,” “Remote Viewing,” and more in depth “Numerology.” Despite having some wonderful hard cover books on numerology, I discovered a fascinating website with more data and software which, of course, I ordered. More on this later.
I’m still very interested in genealogy and am pursuing my writing career. Yesterday, I visited the Holistic Faire in Carlsbad and spent a wonderful day there. More on all these exciting pursuits coming up. They’ve certainly given me a lot of fodder for articles, blogs, and streamlining my writing in general.
Stay tuned for more!

CARLSBAD LIONS SPEAK!
By Shirley M. Carolan, ATM-G
It is always a joy to be called upon to be a judge at a Lion’s Club Annual Student Speakers Contest. Recently, I had the pleasure of representing my Carlsbad Toastmaster Club, Tick Talk Toastmasters in that capacity.
The goal of the contest is to encourage youth involvement, develop self-esteem, confidence in public speaking and offer financial scholarships for the formal education of the students.
The topic was “Enforcing Our Borders: State vs. Federal Rights” which is very current, relevant and challenging! Each student prepared an original, 10 minute speech on this subject which included extensive research, ideas and conclusions.
Students participating were: Samuel Gardner, Priscilla Keyrollos, and Yujia Pan. The winner was Yujia Pan who will now go on to participate at the Zone level.
Joining me as judges were: Joni Wilson, head of 3-D Voice Training System, and Annette Hubbell, a civil war storyteller. Elaine Brummell was the Chairperson for this outstanding event.
