Miniatures

Stop what you're doing and give yourself 15 minutes to just "be". Together we'll let go of all of the noise, the distractions, the to-dos...and just sit in silence and reset. You're allowed! Make 2021 the year that you start being kind to yourself and recognize that you need a break every now and then.

Hello! Are you serious about executing your marketing plan consistently? I am. Although, to be honest I have really struggled to stick to my marketing plans. I tend to go for the "go big or go home" approach and then end up being overwhelmed and doing little or nothing. A solid marketing habit is the only thing between my current situation and an incredible lifestyle business. Tiny consistent actions every day is the way forward. If you find yourself in a similar situation jump on the video call every week day at 1pm - it's just 30 minutes. We will share goals, obstacles, strategies and provide accountability. Above all we will keep things tiny.

Join us for a night of practicing prepared and impromptu public speaking in a supportive and positive learning environment at this Northrop Grumman Gaveliers Toastmaster meeting! You don't have to work at Northrop to join up and learn more about this important social skill.

Join this sorority of radical feminists from around the world as they inform us about the challenges and struggles in their own countries. Chat with other attendees and put questions to the panelists. Following the presentation, you are invited to join breakout rooms (women only please) with the panelists. These weekly online webinars present a new panel each week from around the world, often reporting on a central theme. They are attended by a global feminist and activist community of between 250-350. The main focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. The speaker list and any particular theme is usually announced mid-week before the webinar. Information will be added here as it becomes available.

Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights: Summary [https://www.womensdeclaration.com/en/declaration-womens-sex-based-rights-summary/](https://www.womensdeclaration.com/en/declaration-womens-sex-based-rights-summary/) *** The legal adoption of "gender identity" politics is fraught with unintended consequences. A clear example has unfolded in New York where a self-described "trans-woman lesbian" (a hetero man in a dress) has used gender-neutral language amendments to supplant women in elected offices that had been specifically reserved for females. The arrangement of "1 man + 1 woman" had been put in place to ensure women's fair representation in an arena from which they have been historically underrepresented or excluded: [https://thevelvetchronicle.com/exclusive-decaudin-preps-for-election-recount-after-unofficially-taking-2-female-seats-new-details-uncovered/](https://thevelvetchronicle.com/exclusive-decaudin-preps-for-election-recount-after-unofficially-taking-2-female-seats-new-details-uncovered/) Women's Liberation Front: "New York Democrats have decided to insult women by pretending in public that state committee member Emilia Decaudin is literally female..."

We live in a very exciting time, where as believing Christians we can "step up" from simply participating in Community Worship to being "hands on" disciples, Servants, helping to spread the Good News, and use our God-given gifts and talents to extend the Kingdom. If you feel called to Ministry, or if you're a Minister who would like to take things further in your growth this would be an excellent group to consider being a part of. The focus is Christ-centered, Biblically-based and incorporates teachings from an Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant/Reformation perspective. There is a interview process to join the group. Please contact Bishop Lisa the group moderator for more information. Each week we will explore a new topic in regards to Christian Ministry. Please come with your Bible (or Bible software) and dress comfortably. We'll be discussing, praying, reading together. If you're new please contact us to go through a brief interview.

**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️** Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$25**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40-$70 value if you were to buy them elsewhere!** (Please look up the price of minis, you are getting a steal). Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together. **Choose one from Below:** * 20 Cathayan Infantry * 20 Dwarf Warriors * 20 Wood Elf Spearmen Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**. My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession. During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form. Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations. **🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**
