Words of adoration and love emanate from the lips of children about their mother. It doesn’t make a difference who you are or what position you hold; whether you are a president, journalist or a writer, mothers have a tremendous impact on many people’s lives, as evidenced by these expressions of love. You are Mother.

The dictionary defines mother in various ways, including “one who gives birth to,” and “to care for or protect like a mother.” The key words are care and protect, which in my opinion, defines what it means to be a mother. Mother is a special title.
Mothers are not just those who have given birth to a child, but also the females – caregivers – who have supported and encouraged us in realizing our full potential. The women who made certain that our needs were satisfied during childhood.
Mother’s Day gifts I appreciate and your mother may as well.

As Earth Week comes to a close I reflect on the recent weather activity in my neck of the woods. The extreme flooding brought on by the weather phenomena that prevented me from leaving my home for a few days. I was indeed humbled by the power of the water. The roads became impassable; there was more water than residents could handle. The precious resource on which we all rely for life giving necessities eventually became a destructor of life and property. Earth Day- The Water Challenge !

I recently came across an article on “quiet quitting” that really got me thinking, so I thought I would share my perspective with you.
In my opinion it should be called “employee mediocrity.” Meaning, an individual who is excellent at their profession may decide to only complete the minimum requirements of a task if they think the employer does not value their input. An employee who choose to ignore their work problems because they believe nothing will make the situation or their work environment better may experience “quiet suffering.”
Quiet quitting involves performing the absolute bare minimum of a task; not doing more or less, just what is necessary to meet the job requirement. Quiet quitters merely maintain their position; they don’t quit or look for work elsewhere. Some employee’s are even able to maintain this practice for an extended length of time —years.

Despite having a disability, Sarah showed amazing courage, strength and leadership. She was overcome with emotion as she thanked me for remembering her after she read the post. I expressed to her that it was impossible not to think of her because of her accomplishments, grace, and support. Women Rising!
Sadly, on 06/07/22 Sarah passed away. She led the YMCA in Kingston Jamaica from 1988 until the time of her passing. I am grateful to have known the trailblazer, the caregiver, the leader, the counselor – Sarah a woman of substance.

Continue readingWomen are natural nurturers – human connectors – and with this innate ability there is the inclination to build and maintain secure havens for others. Women have become known for their trust and dependability in both the workplace and home. The sisterhood, building powerful relationships.
Studies have shown that women dominate the education and health services industry- two significant sectors in a thriving economy – a clear indication that women are the primary drivers of growth and wellness.
Women are strongest when they are connected to their families, to their children, to other women. The connections – relationships – are safe when it is understood that the love and care she extends is pure and trustworthy.

Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

So, to modify how you live and work, apply Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion which states – for every action there is a reaction. Life needs motion!
Many people spend most of their workday sitting. Incorporate mini breaks into your workday; 3-5 minutes of stretching, walking the stairs or a quick walk around the block is a great way to refresh your mind and body. Move for you, not for others!
Make time for physical activity, moving every thirty minutes can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, just move! Warm up and cool down to prevent injury.
