    logo_sedonawomenSedona AZ (February 1, 2013) – Just in time for Valentine’s Day, The Sedona Women’s February program is “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot … the History of Marriage and the New American Family,” Wednesday, February 13, 10:00 AM, at the Sedona Creative Life Center.

    20130201_Charlie-and-Karen-SchudsonPresented by Sedona residents, Karen and Charlie Schudson, “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot” is a forty-five minute dramatic dialogue featuring history, humor, cinema, and two special guest stars. It is based on the groundbreaking book of Professor Stephanie Coontz, Marriage, a History – from Obedience to Intimacy / How Love Conquered Marriage.

    As the Schudsons explain, many Sedonans, growing up in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, lived from times of marital stability to family upheaval. Within a single generation, “traditional” family values were forced to share space with casual sex and co-habitation, civil union and gay marriage, separation and divorce, abortion and adoption, artificial insemination and surrogate parenting, single parenting and step-parenting …

    What ever happened to tradition? What, historically, really are America’s family values? How might misunderstandings of marriage history affect American attitudes, culture, law, politics, and even one’s own relationships? “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot” addresses these questions and, in Professor Coontz’s words, “why the revolutionary implications of the love match took so long to play out and why, just when it seemed unassailable, the love-based marriage” of modern times “began to crumble.”

    Karen and Charlie Schudson first presented “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot” as the keynote address to the annual conference of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges in San Francisco in 2007. Trying to keep pace with the rapid changes of recent years, they have updated “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot” for presentations to numerous professional groups including the Arizona judiciary.

    Before retiring to Sedona three years ago, Karen Schudson was a marriage and family therapist, and executive coach. In addition to presenting “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot,” Karen has traveled throughout the country with Charlie to present “Healing the Healers,” a program they developed for social workers, police officers and other professionals working with sexually abused children. For many years, Charlie was a law professor and judge. He has been a featured guest on many shows including The MacNeil-Lehrer Report and Oprah. Currently, he is president of KeynoteSeminars, LLC, and a Fulbright Scholar teaching at law schools abroad.

    On the eve of Valentine’s Day, The Sedona Women, with Karen and Charlie’s help, will try to untie America’s “Loves Me, Loves Me Knot.” The Sedona Women, Dames Who Make A Difference, meets the second Wednesday of every month at The Creative Live Center, 333 Schnebly Hill Road, Sedona. A “Meet & Greet” begins at 9:30 AM with the program following at 10 AM and The Sedona Women invite all women in the Verde Valley to attend. The Sedona Women are dedicated to making a positive and lasting impact on the community by providing opportunities for women to build relationships, to learn about the community, to support community needs and to enhance the natural beauty and distinctive character of Sedona. The Word “Dame” is used in England as a title of honor – the counterpart to a Knight – and connotes commitment, integrity, passion and earned knowledge. A “Dame” is a woman of substance.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
