The Month of June
Ahh, the month of June and all the warm days and nights to follow. It is the month of graduations from all levels from preschool through college and some even from graduate schools. June is also the month that some summer jobs may start. There is the Father's Day holiday in this month.

January
January has come and gone, but this idea for a series just came to me the other day. January the first month of a new year according to the Gregorian calendar that we follow. Happy New Year! This is the month that we all try to do better in all the different aspects of our lives from our health both physical and emotional. We also try to better in our professions and just trying to be better people.

The Political Circus: A Clown Car Crash of Partisanship and Pointless Point-Scoring
Welcome, disillusioned citizens, to the grand spectacle that is modern politics! Grab your popcorn (or maybe a bottle of something stronger), because we're about to delve into the chaotic, dysfunctional world where bipartisanship is a unicorn and compromise is as rare as a politician keeping a campaign promise.

See The Picture For What It Is
Let’s talk about shattered pictures of Love or Let me reiterate that, the illusion we paint on false love. Real love do not need to be fake until they make it. That’s not going to happen. You are setting yourself up for heart ache and pain. This goes for men and women.

Psychological facts that will blow your mind.
The realm of psychology delves into the intricate science of the mind and behavior. Decades of ongoing studies endeavor to unravel the mysteries of human nature, a pursuit that will persist into the future. Each passing day unveils new insights, yet the vast expanse of understanding remains largely uncharted.

Birthdays
What is it about birthdays? Some people love them, some hate them, and some just seem not to care about them. To me when I was younger I really did not really like to be the center of attention and now that I am older I still do not want to be the center of attention at a party for I really wanted was just to be remembered maybe with a special card of sorts. As one gets older birthdays are just like any other day.

Brett A. Blake has written a business book entitled ' Renewal For Field Leaders'. This is an academic book for businesspeople who lead employees and independent contractors in how to keep their businesses solvent over years. It covers topics dealing with direct selling of various products and ideas from the Business Lifecycle Stages from Launch through Decline or Renewal to the CHISEL plan for renewal (Cash, Hope, Innovation, Simplification, Expansion, Leadership). He states in a way there is an AIM in cash management. He also mentions the H.O.P.E. formula for business. Another facet he mentions one must use experimentation along with human-to-human experience to improve your business or do something else. One last idea he share is the 'Three C's of Simplification' that are 'Calendar, Cadence, and Communication which is also the most important aspect of any and all business enterprises.

Wednesday is what people like to call 'Hump Day'. It is the middle of the week and now it seems that everyone is looking for to Friday and the weekend. One must try and enjoy all the days of the week not just the weekends. There is joy to be found in all the days of the week. You just have to try harder on some days.

Mary Kay
Just finished reading a memoir entitled 'Miracles Happen' Mary Kay Ash The Life and Timeless Principles of the Founder of Mary Kay, Inc. I am not into cosmetics, but this book was really fascinating to read even though it is full of the 'tricks of trade' of running a multimillion-dollar corporation. Mary Kay starts out sharing her childhood as most memoirs do, but she made hers fun to read for she shared facts of the times she lived has surviving many ups and downs personally and professionally from her first sales position to being founder of Mary Kay, Inc. Her basic tenets of life and business are as follows: God, family, career and in that order. This is a good supplemental read for subjects in economics and business studies for how to run a company/corporation. Women and men should read this book for Mary Kay shares her valuable ideas on how to run a business.
