OUT OF CONTROL BEHAVIOR LEADS TO FAILURE IN RELATIONSHIPS AND FINANCES!!!!!

If you think about the failures in your life, especially when a spouse or mate is involved, at least one person does not have balance or control in at least one of these areas and cross boundaries in a variety of ways: will, fear, emotions (anger especially), or competition (shows up as jealousy)....

ORDER OR RESPECT IS AT THE ROOT OF ANY CONFLICT IF ONE LOOKS CLOSELY!!!!!!!

I am sure many have heard that money is the root of all evil, yet it depends on the perspective or value placed on money, in my view. As I think about many situations relating to conflict, disorder or disrespect is at the center. One party prefers order and the other does not or one person shows... Sign in to see full entry.

DO YOU FIND IT DISTURBING CONVERSING WITH PEOPLE WHO SEEM UNABLE TO THINK?

I find myself often in the company of people who seem to regurgitate what I say/said at some point or time and they are so full of themselves until they actually think it came from them and that I had/have forgotten. To make it seem more challenging, if I ask a question, the response generally... Sign in to see full entry.

DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHO IS IN CONTROL OR THAT THINGS SIMPLY GET DONE????

At home or at work does it really matter who is really the boss? I have watched teams fall apart because one person seeks all the attention and enjoy being the one who appears primarily responsible for the success of the team. I have also seen people jump ship when the team is losing, with their... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT MIDDLE LEVEL SUPERVISION THAT DRAWS HITS FROM EVERYWHERE??

I cannot understand why middle level managers and supervisors seem to get targeted from those above and those below! What is the basis behind this abnormal and irregular behavior? Those at the top displaying such behavior appear intimidated and assume their job is insecure due to skill deficiencies... Sign in to see full entry.

IS MOTHER'S DAY EVERYDAY OR JUST THE ONE DAY WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF FUSS...

I am a mother and would prefer a day of rest and relaxation and avoid the gifts and special treatment for a day. I prefer nice treatment on a regular basis. I must admit that my children generally do and still like to shower me with gifts. I am very thankful. I will keep silent about my Mom's... Sign in to see full entry.

OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO WORK AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER WITH CLASSES OF STUDENTS!

I went into the classroom with a whistle, and was ready for anything! In my wildest dreams I never thought I would have to say that I felt like a Zoo Keeper!! There were 9 of them and they all had a lack of self control and I was responsible for teaching them. To my surprise, I felt it would be nice... Sign in to see full entry.

ARE YOU SURROUNDED BY SEVERAL BI-POLAR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS? EASY???

I took inventory recently and realized that I frequently deal with the extremes. One day everything is fine, happy, and it seems I have the best family and friends. The next day or at times within the same day, I see just the opposite. I know there are classes/groups on dealing with alcoholics, many... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT OR & AND BLOGGERS AND OTHERS SEEM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND????

There is a distinct difference, in my opinion, yet it seems to bring confusion. My husband was called from the Credit Union on his job Friday, as it appeared that an automatic payment on our vehicle was deducted twice. He explained to the caller that it had to be an error and asked that she correct.... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGING, BLOGGING, BLOGGING! WHAT, TELL ME IS IT REALLY ALL ABOUT FOR YOU?

The first time I heard of blogging was on Headline News! I saw this teenager who indicated that he received over 100,000 hits a day! I went on line to see what it meant. I read among other things that one writes thoughts and can get paid! I thought... HHHHMMMMM.... That sounds good. Do I get what I... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

After years as an educator, serving as a teacher and administrator, I have experienced profoundly the focus of my dissertation. I looked at conflict resolution in an elementary school setting. As an individual, initially I did not realize the impact of early learning (in the home) and the real impact on student learning. It is clear now after observing and seeing the dysfunctional behavior prevalent in all aspects of society. This blog will serve as a place to share and receive information that can benefit many in a reciprocal way.
