Change is good... all the time
If you watch nothing else in your life with a mission for change, watch this 20 minute clip with a direction of where our wisdom may work for us.
in my personal experience, this is how i feel. this “game” that i am forced to play in order to do what is right some days knocks the wind out of my sails.
i operate on the idea that we need a huge change in not how we live, love, and work, but in WHY we do it.
last night during our family meeting, we touched on grandma Melernea’s gold kaiser card. Barry Schwartz talks about the janitors who have the wisdom to do their jobs well with the intent of offering caring service to others. when i think of my grandmother and the fact that she did housekeeping for as many years as she had when others ask if she is a doctor, the answer should be “no” with a reply of “better”.
like the janitor who cleaned the floor in the room of the comatose man TWICE because the father who had been sitting vigil for 3 months didn’t see it done and was upset; like the housekeeper who did not vacuum because another family who had spent a great deal of time in a waiting room were asleep; and for the janitor who stopped mopping the floor so that a patient who was trying to regain strength could walk the halls.
we have to remember that so much of what makes this world a fantastic place comes from those who society looks at as the bottom of the pickings pile. we should never give up hope that doctors, lawyers, politicians, and yes even businessmen on Wall Street can reach for greatness by being more like janitors and housekeepers and persons who work with the public and do their jobs well and with wisdom simply… because… it … is … right

misinformation
If you allow misinformation to drive your actual policies, that's not really smart policy is it? If you have your facts straight say them loud. If you don't know what you are saying, sssssshhhhh! -referring to 'death panels'. there is no need to remove the opportunity to discuss with a doctor YOUR end of life medical options from any health care reform bill because misinformed 'sheeple' are louder than you.

and about the woman who made the call.....
The more I think about it, the more I become irritated with the whole racist issue.
Take the poor woman caller who used her words carefully. She thought before she spoke, she had a basic concern and that was that. She was labeled as a racist who folks, like the president said "acted stupidly" regarding a call they did not hear.
Then we hear the call and we sit and scratch our heads…
‘That was a damned good call’
Believe it or not, this woman was the innocent victim of profiling. We all assumed that a person who would call the police if she saw a black man would automatically assume that she would call in saying
'A black man is breaking into the house next door. Bring out all units!'
The sky was not falling for this woman and to look more closely, you will see that she is one of the Brown people I talked about in my previous post.
Now we have the Black cop who was there supporting his peer being called an Uncle Tom because he came to the defense of officer Crowley.
Can you give this man a break?
Man, I am all worn out over the hubbub over this mess.
Where is my beer President Obama?
