Seven Ways to Ward Off Unemployment Fatigue

Separating from the military without having a job lined up is nerve-wracking enough. Being in the same position months later can be a lot worse. Unfortunately, it’s quite possible for veterans to be faced with this kind of situation in today’s still-sluggish economy. It can easily lead to “unemployment fatigue,” which not only can affect [...]

Expanding Children’s Creativity with author Donna Scott-Nusrala on The Empowerment Show

Image
When is a children’s book not a children’s book?  When on the surface it is fun and engaging, but below the surface it promotes creativity, scientific knowledge, and being in touch with the senses.  Listen in to this fun conversation with author Donna Scott-Nusrala as she leads us through her collection of engaging, entertaining and inspiring children’s books. More than just words on a page, Donna’s books are a feast for one’s imagination.  These books actively engage children by connecting with the senses of sight, sound, taste, touch, and intuition.  The stories are not just told but are felt deeply and completely. A former school teacher, Donna educates and expands a child’s thoughts, perceptions, creativity, and connection.  Whether she is teaching the metric system, helping a child understand the expansiveness of love, introducing vibrational frequencies of attraction, or expanding their imagination, the stories are...

Mismatched Socks

Image
We all have miss-matched socks. It’s the way it is. We wear socks in pairs and yet after we put them through the wash, we find some that we can’t seem to match. For years I have set these aside in the bag of mismatched socks. I associate the song from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Island of Misfit Toys with this bag of mismatched socks.

I use them for cleaning projects before tossing them. One winter evening I took off my boots and realized that I had worn two different socks all day.

That night I teased my husband about this since he had been the one to pair them up incorrectly. We both laughed and agreed that having warm feet mattered more than having them match. Since t...

Time to End the Stigma of Mental Challenges Like Depression

Image
Today is Mental Health Awareness Day. Mental illness and depression are misunderstood and heavily stigmatized by society. Mental illness is no different than a physical illness. You know this, everyone knows this! However the stigma has prevented many people from taking this illness very seriously. What I did is I created an Aha Book on mental illness and depression called Time to End the Stigma of Mental Challenges Like Depression . This book has 140 Ahas of tips and tweets that state facts about depression that I had written up, as well as information on how to help yourself while recovering from mental illness. Of course writing these quotes and tips required me to do some research on self help tips for depression, as well as studying statistics. Some of these tips I found to be useful for myself too. In other words, this research was for my benefit too. None of these tips are meant to cure depression or mental illness. However, for those who are suffering from it need to find ways ...
