One step at a time, often backwards or sideways, perhaps sliding on the floor.  Life is a dance, so select your music, enjoy every move, embrace every twirl.

​

What brings you energy, joy, or strength?  Personally, kneading bread & leading music.  Setting a beautiful table for an event.  Driving around pretty places, listening to power ballads.  Grilling meat, serving drinks, and even taking out the rubbish !

​

We may put on a confident persona, where everyone expects much of us.  It is harder to relax, as they trust and watch us.  Discovering, due to P.T.S.D. we have pushed ourselves beyond our limitations.  Let people be creative, so you can be human also.

​

People are becoming more resourceful in their training & certifications, to avoid student debts.  Companies are picking up the cost of education, to attract new employees.  This will create a "benefit package" more valuable & appealing, than any insurance.

​

Employees expect a paycheck, and a safe work environment.  But what KEEPS them at a job?  The little comforts of security, humor, appreciation, great customers, awards, respect from management, and a valuable work title for their resume.  Create that, keep them.

​

Government aid:  Involves red tape & insults, by liberal socialists whom make you give up your rights for shelter/food/medical/mental health care.  Freedom is a right in our country, never give up WHO you are, for WHAT you get.

​

Charity aid:  Involves a non-profit of volunteers, capitalists whom you barter your healthy freedom with for basic needs, or until you get back on your feet.  These are people who want YOU to have CHOICES with your time, money, & talents.

What is your best quality?  I enjoy finding solutions to problems at hand.  Making things work, and pushing them through.  I have no training/direction in such - only a drive to make things happen.  My weakness would be.... pre-mature actions.

​

The greatest lesson I have learned in motivation would have to be the ability to SLOW DOWN.  OCD is a curse, until one can master a balance in life.  Find pleasure, a passion, & pencil that in daily.  Decorate for each holiday.  Attend local arts.

​

Are you a helpful neighbor?  Do you refer friends to be co-workers?  Do you assist people with a skill you have?  We will remain as free to grow, as we are kind to one another.  Enough good friends can prevent a few from relapsing into bad situations.

​

How do you speak to people with disabilities?  Do NOT bully them, do NOT laugh AT them, do NOT push them beyond their limits.  They will say what they like, so invite them to your common interests.  Balance the positive with suffering, so everyone grows.

​

Pity is no substitute for practicality.  Balance all areas of life.  Distance is an ally to safety, especially for children.  Digital filters & monitoring are vital on connection platforms.  Turning OFF the tech - is the best break from today's bullies.

​

Hardware-to-software:  We have an opportunity to be a more environmentally-friendly world.  Millions of contracts can now be DIGITALLY SIGNED, saving trees.  Seeds we can replant for shelter, heat, and breathing.  Dandy digital files/photos in soft folders.

​

Keep your mind fresh by cycling a new topic each month.  Sharpen skills in budgeting, medical advances, automobiles, mortgages, prepare for jury duty, CPR/First Aid, Emergency Kits with food and water, herbal remedies, or take a software tech class.
