Cell Phones & The Pre-Selfie Era
Cell Phones & The Pre-Selfie Era – Welcoming In The New Millennials I walked into the junior high classroom this morning, and it was chatty as normal, similar to the beginning of any class. It’s a very open environment, and the culture of the students says, “this is our space“. Students were discussing the latest news in spirit activities, while others were trying to decide if lunch was going to be edible. Picking up on that conversation, that gave me the heads up that I better head across the street during my free hour and grab some food. I’ve eaten the food at all the schools, and I’m not…
Public Health Eating Disaster
Are You A Public Health Eating Disaster Just how far have our appetites taken us, and what happens in the event of an unforeseen major disaster? Is sugar in the details? Are “we” the disaster? Are we caught up in a Public Health Eating Disaster? How do we incorporate eating sugar in moderation? Sugar, we are told it can be “good for the soul” by all the ads and marketing jiggles being filtered into our daily lives. Moderation is the key, but what if you are an eating disaster?

Your financial health is often linked closely to your sense of self-worth and social positioning. Social economics and how one perceives their status in society is often an underlying emotional trigger waiting to go off.

Life and writing – beautiful metaphors.
Life and writing – beautiful metaphors. I wholeheartedly enjoy the ability to write and create my own materials in any situation I find myself in. Sure, I can write for the other guy, but when it’s just for my own pleasure, I like to give myself the opportunity to research and design materials based on my own creative needs, my own passions.

Creative and Inspirational People
Creative people have a deep respect for the very essence of everything around them. It is as if they have a thirst for all things new and exciting. Who wouldn't want to be around a creative and inspirational person? They are uplifting, kind, and filled with a wonder for life. They can light up a room by just walking in with a smile on their face. They are usually highly intelligent in their own right and don't flaunt it unless challenged in a negative way. They will bring you strawberries in winter, and sprinkle glitter on your papers just to make you smile. They draw you out of your head and make you think…
