The Content of your character (remember?)

Be the first to comment
What is yours (content of your character); in three words or less?! We heard it referred to as Obama's presidential election speech was reviewed; MLK's words rang out. The reference was to the color of a person's skin; but I feel it is deeper than that. WE are all now called to dig into our own character and enhance relationships in our homes, work, schools, communities. Dictionary.com defines character as1.the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing.2.one such feature or trait; characteristic.3.moral or ethical quality: a man of...

Is it "IN YOU"?

Be the first to comment
A year after our youngest daughter graduated, we attended a friend's ceremony. The speech given by the person voted in by the class was entitled; Is It In YOU? He was able to pull from his class, the most unlikely heroes. And the most likely. Which made the "Unlikely" even more proud to be included. Very YEAH YEAH Out Loud of him. He told how each of the likely/unlikely person(s) had contributed to his high school experience, the difference they made in his and their classmate's lives, and what could become of it. Now, 4 years later, I would be interested to know how...

Bullying

Be the first to comment
While attending a conference in LA, a presenter reminded the audience YOU are guilty of being a BULLY if you stand idle and do nothing.Bullying happens to more than just "kids". Some "reality" shows have shown how the public does or doesn't step in regarding the elderly, the disabled, the homeless and your neighbor. Have a conscience about the world around you and do "something".Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel Rwanda) spoke to a local YWCA group a few years ago, and when he was asked, how did you do it? His answer made perfect sense. He said: "I knew I would have to get up every morning and look...

Sometimes you have to be your own best cheer leader.

Be the first to comment
In your personal life, and professional life, you often have to dig deep to keep up your own self-esteem and spirit. Recently a person who committed fraud/forgery against me as a licensed appraiser was sent to prison. It's not really the "resolution" I wanted, but it seemed to be the only way to have a precedence set for a crime of this type. The local paper (Columbian) featured an article on 8/30/08   "In typical identity theft cases, the thief goes after a bank account or a line of credit. In Kathy Carpenter's case, the thief was even more bold. A woman took...

Humans, when they succeed; We succeed

Be the first to comment
A theme in the Olympics, is that of being a "cheer" leader. We find ourselves encouraging some of the most unlikely heroes. Empowering others who may even question their self esteem?! Who seemingly came to the games with overwhelming confidence, only to stretch themselves and their abilities to reach their life long goal, yet still needing that inner voice at the most unlikely moment, as the dream is within (or just out of) reach. Whether it is the crowd, the event or the individual themselves that encourages them to achieve their ultimate goal or not, it is not the actual achievement of...

A YEAH YEAH Out Loud Moment

Be the first to comment
My adopted cousin's wife (mother of 6) recently found her mother's family.Her loving birth mother sent Bernadette to another loving mother and father who could have no other children. Attending the best schools, well cultured, Bernadette eventually married into "our" family in MN after finishing college.Mother of her own 6 children, now back in the Bahamas after her adoptive parent's death, she ventured out with her oldest daughter and granddaughter to another island. Knowing this was the "home" island of her birth mother, she said to me, "I pulled a...
