Bobo Wicker Health Care Clarity—My Analysis

After observing the rhetoric of the U.S. Congress, both the House of Representatives and the Senate, I’ve concluded that I will blog about my personal opinions concerning health care and the federal government's task of health reform. Understand that I have friends that would not believe that I’m posting a blog; therefore, as I proceed take that notion in consideration. I’ve elected to take up this endeavor because I believe that I’m providing useful information and insight on the selected issue… Continue

Shantell Personal Empowerment: Don’t Threaten, Just Act

By Dr George Simon, PhD | 3 June 2009 There’s no need to “red flag” action that you’re willing to take if the disturbed character won’t change. Don’t threaten, just take action. I’ve been posting a series of articles on how to be more empowered in any relationship, especially in relationships with persons of deficient or disordered character. Some of the “tools” of personal empowerment we’ve discussed already include staying calm, collected and focused when dealing with a person that would ot… Continue

Shantell Temperament: Idealist Portrait of the Teacher (ENFJ)

Even more than the other Idealists, Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other… Continue

Shantell Are you a workaholic? Is your life your work or is your work your life?

The following is my result: Our scale tells us that your life is in perfect balance! You certainly are a conscientious employee whom any employer is happy to hire.

Shantell "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!"

"Before I Was Myself, You Made Me, Me" By Dimitri Shostakovich. Sequenced by J. Marques Before I was myself you made me, me With love and patience, discipline and tears, Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free, Allowing me to sail upon my sea, Though well within the headlands of your fears. Before I was myself you made me, me With dreams enough of what I was to be And hopes that would be sculpted by the years, Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free, Relinquishing your powers gradual… Continue

Shantell Believe in your own potential (I love this!!!)

May 06, 2009 Arvella Schuller "And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image." – 2 Corinthians 3:18 What keeps me believing in my own potential? First, I was born into a family where trust and faith were natural parts of our family environment. I was nurtured, day in and day out, on those two positive values. As my husband and I studied psychology, we saw repeatedly that happiness is not possible without belief. Belief in ourselves,… Continue

Shantell Do you recognize these well known adages? (I think this is real cute!)

Do you recognize these well known adages? (Answers below). 1. All articles that coruscate with resplendence are not truly auriferous. 2. Sorting on the part of mendicants must be interdicted. 3. A revolving lithic conglomerate accumulates no congeries of small, green, biophytic plant. 4. Members of an avian species of identical plumage tend to congregate. 5. It is fruitless to become lachrymose of precipitately departed lacteal fluid. 6. It is fruitless to attempt to indoctrinate a super-… Continue

Shantell Accept what cannot be changed

By: Arvella Schuller "But godliness with contentment is great gain." – 1 Timothy 6:6 To accept what cannot be changed is the beginning of happiness within ourselves, happiness with those around us, and happiness in a situation we are in that we can do little or nothing about. We can begin our journey to acceptance by making a list of daily blessings that we take for granted. Once a year in our home, everyone makes a list of blessings or assets (one for each letter of the alphabet) for which h… Continue

Shantell The value of listening‏

March 30, 2009 By: John C. Maxwell "I waited while you spoke, I listened to your reasoning; while you were searching for words." – Job 32:11 Edgar Watson Howe once joked, "No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next." Unfortunately, that accurately describes the way too many people approach communication—they're too busy waiting for their turn to talk to really listen to others. But people of influence understand the incredible value of becoming a good listener. For… Continue

Shantell A Positive Minute: The power of a dream

April 15, 2009 John C. Maxwell [Daniel prayed] "I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king." – Daniel 2:23 I believe that each of us has a dream placed in the heart. I'm not talking about wanting to win the lottery. That kind of idea comes from a desire to escape our present circumstances, not to pursue a heartfelt dream. I'm talking about a vision deep inside… Continue
