Permission Granted

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us started waiting. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting for it to make sense. Waiting for someone else to say it’s okay to want what we want. Last time, we noticed what we’re curious about. This session asks the next question: who, exactly, do you believe is holding the permission? You’ll look honestly at one thing you’ve been waiting to do, and who or what you think has to say yes. You’ll see what a coaching conversation looks like on that very question. Then you’ll say your own permission out loud, with no “but” and no explaining. You’ll also take a close look at one “too old for” story with some real curiosity instead of simply accepting it. You don’t need to have read anything, and taking part is always your choice. Whether this is your first time with us or you’ve been with us since the beginning, you’re exactly on time. There’s nothing to catch up on.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

Oscar Watch: LA BOLA NEGRA at the Gateway Film Center!

Join us for an Oscar Watch event as we get together to see this year’s winner of the Toronto Film Festival, LA BOLA NEGRA! This Spanish-language war-drama-romance tells the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras -- 1932, 1937, and 2017. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film tells the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras -- 1932, 1937, and 2017.The film is directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi and stars Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBVxKt0gKDY BUZZ & ACCLAIM: LA BOLA NEGRA has already had quite a run through the festival circuit and promises to be something special! Javier Ambrossi won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival and the film itself won the Audience Awards at the Toronto, Sydney and San Sebastian International Film Festivals! It is earning an excellent 88% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says: “An intergenerational epic bathed in striking imagery and vibrant music, La Bola Negra is a sensorial feast that movingly testifies to the perseverance of queer identity throughout history.” Others call it a "grandiose historical epic" and “one of those rare films that feels both old and new.” La Bola Negra is expected to be a heavy awards contender and a likely Best Picture / Best International Film nominee! A NOT-SO-DREADED NETFLIX RELEASE: Netflix is usually my arch-nemesis this time of year, often buying up some of the year’s best films, and giving them a very limited one-or-two week theatrical release before sending them to the streaming service. But, this time, Netflix is giving LA BOLA NEGRA their first-ever full theatrical release in theaters! So, we’ll support the effort and as an added bonus, see what should be a really great film the way it was mean to be seen – in theaters! PLAN: We’ll plan for a mid-afternoon showing and will meet in the upstairs lobby area about 20 minutes before showtime. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event! Showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer! ' Should be a good one, Dan

Choose Your Movie: JIMMY vs GODZILLA MINUS ZERO at Cinemark Stoneridge!

Join us as we get together for a CMG Choose Your Movie event and one of our toughest choices yet! Option 1 is JIMMY, a biographical drama following the life of beloved actor Jimmy Stewart. It follows his life from winning the Oscar for Best Actor in The Philadelphia Story, to enlisting and becoming a combat pilot in the U.S. Army Air Force, and through his return home in the role of George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life. Option 2 is GODZILLA MINUS ZERO, a follow-up to the outstanding (and Oscar-winning) Godzilla Minus One (2023). The film picks up in 1949 postwar Japan as it struggles to rebuild while facing a new threat from King Ghidorah. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: JIMMY: The film tells the untold true story of America’s most-beloved actor and the iconic role that saved him. It focuses on the most transformative season in Jimmy Stewart’s life—from winning the Academy Award for Best Actor in The Philadelphia Story to enlisting and becoming a combat pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps at the beginning of World War II. Stewart flew twenty missions over Europe, rising to the rank of colonel by the end of the war, only to return home broken and disheartened. Then George Bailey and It’s a Wonderful Life came calling. The film is directed by Aaron Burns and stars KJ Apa in the title role, alongside Jason Alexander, Max Casella, Sarah Drew, Jen Lilley and Christopher McDonald. TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EURriesRel0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EURriesRel0) GODZILLA MINUS ZERO: Set in 1949, the Shikishima family confronts a fresh catastrophe two years after surviving their previous ordeal with the legendary monster. Like its predecessor, the film is a character-driven drama, grounded in deep human emotion, all while providing all the monster smashing spectacle of the traditional Godzilla movies! The film is written/directed/visual effects by Takashi Yamazaki. It stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Yuki Yamada, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Sakura Ando, and Miou Tanaka all returning to reprise their roles from Minus One, along with Min Tanaka, Masami Nagasawa and Jun Kunimura. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to stellar reviews at the Japanese International and New York Film Festivals. With a near perfect 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics say: “Towering side-by-side with its predecessor, every bit its equal, Godzilla Minus Zero is simply incredible blockbuster filmmaking.” Others declare, “With devastating human drama and earth-shaking kaiju action, Godzilla Minus Zero ups the ante in every way from its predecessor – and is easily one of the best films of the year.” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Xfz5IMGDs PLAN: Details confirmed and tickets on sale for BOTH films! If you’d like to see JIMMY, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet in the lobby area between 6:35 and 6:45pm! If you’d like to see GODZILLA MINUS ZERO, please purchase your ticket for the 6:30pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby between 6:10 and 6:20pm! Advance purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
