    • Levels of Awareness: It is crucial to understand the different levels of situational awareness and how to apply them in daily life. By learning to observe your environment, constantly evaluate it, and react appropriately to what you see, you can achieve a large degree of control over your circumstances. This means you need to learn to shift up and down a scale of alertness, so that you can match your level of readiness with the threat level encountered and as circumstances change around you.
    • Trusting Your Instincts: The importance of intuition and how it can be a powerful tool for personal safety.
    • Bad Guy Body Language: Recognizing the signs of potentially harmful individuals through their body language and behavior.
    • De-Escalation Strategies: Effective techniques to defuse potentially dangerous situations and avoid conflict.
    • The 10-Second Rule: Understanding the crucial seconds that can make a difference in assessing and reacting to a threat.

    Following the presentation of key concepts, Larry will conduct an interactive discussion exploring real-life scenarios to practice and apply these mindful safety concepts.

    This September 12th program is open to the public at the Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road in West Sedona. A meet-and-greet will begin at 9:30, followed by the program and Q&A at 10 a.m. To learn more about The Sedona Women or to become a member, visit the sedonawomen.com or contact Sedonawomen669@gmail.com.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
