Affective Cultural Competence

What is it?

Do you know what perception is?  Everyone has a different perception of what is disgusting to them.  Some people are easily disgusted by homeless people, unclean people, etc.  Know what I mean?  There are workshops available to help you understand why and how you react to certain types of people. 

Learning...

is powerful!

And knowledge is power!  So they say...  I remember when I was in grade school, then high school, then college that one day I would no longer have homework; but oddly enough I missed not learning something new.  It's true!  If you don't use it, you lose it!  That includes your brain.  So I went back to school.  There are times that I wish I knew then what I know now.  I would have made so many changes in my life.  However don't ever let not doing something then, stop you from doing something now.  Time goes on and you can't get that back but you can make a change today and keep making changes tomorrow.  Carpe diem!  

A favorite drink...

Aw shucks!

Do you know how I like Bundaberg Ginger Beer?  Well, I like their Peachee drink even more and I have been checking out different World Markets for some only to find out recently that that is a seasonal flavor.  Which is why they don't carry them right now!  That explains why I couldn't find it on the shelf.  :( 

Fall Back

Daylight Savings

It's that time again!  We set our clocks back an extra hour because it's time to "fall back."  Which actually means that we gain an hour.  Of sleep!  Zzzzzzz...  or activity?  If you are so inclined.

I was listening to a message by Dr. Charles Stanley on kindness.  Are you a kind person?  Kindness is a quality that is timeless and will always be appreciated by others.

Social Media

Networking 101

There was a time when looking for a job meant you had to "know something."  Then it was all about "knowing someone."  Now it's all about how many followers and likes you have.  Social media has become the "it" thing of our generation and its become the biggest thing in all age groups.  It's not just young kids.  It's seniors too!  Are you a part of the social media craze?  

Desk Fans

Did you know? 

That there are actually fans out there that connect to your computer?  This way if you travel and don't have a fan conveniently close by, you can connect one to your computer through a USB port.  I actually bought this fan thinking it was your regular run-of-the-mill plug in fan but it turns out that it is not.  It's kind of a nice surprise because now I have a fan to use attached to my computer.  I got mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!

Being breeky!

What am I talking about?

You've heard of the terms brawny and geeky, right?  Now if you think about it, most people fall under one category or another but then there are some of us that are actually a mix of both.  I'm a bookworm and geeky at heart but I also like swimming and other types of exercise.  Being breeky, actually makes me think of the movie Divergent.  It's so easy to put labels on each other and to say you are this and I am that however you can so easily be a combination.
