    Zachary's Tale - A Journey Into Sensory Disfunction
    The time on the clock says 9:30; I look down at my sleeping little boy, whom I have just quietly rocked to sleep. He is still latched on somewhat, comfort nursing. As we rock I stare down at him and wonder what his future might hold.Zachary is my 27-? month old son, and has been diagnosed (I hate that word; to me it some how implies that there's something wrong that medicine could fix) with Sensory Integration Dysfunction and delayed speech, as well as having some feeding or eating issues. These diagnoses were made about 6 months ago with a team of qualified therapists and specialists.Life with

They assume that just because I no longer believe that things happened exactly as they are portrayed in Scripture, that just because I don't believe in a literal virgin birth, for instance, there is no truth or message or meaning or power I can experience from the stories.

    Three Ways You Aggravate Stress – And How to Find Bliss
    In periods of duress, we tend to bunch-or pull together our shoulders in a tense, rigid formation without recognizing it. This leads to painful injury such as a fraught neck nerve or a muscle tremor, which could eventually trigger twinges that radiate down an elbow and even into the fingers. Here’s a speedy exercise for neck and shoulder muscles to help stretch and relax muscles. (If you do any of these and experience pain, stop immediately and consult a doctor.)Stand erect with your shoulder against a wall and place a twelve-inch rubber ball between your head (just above your right ear) and the wall.

    “ Every failure is a blessing in disguise, providing it teaches some needed lesson one could not have learned without it. Most so-called Failures are only temporary defeats.” Napoleon HillIf organizations truly want to be learning organizations, they must first respect the employees as more than physical beings. Learning organizations are the future for effective organizations. However, most business executives have the delusion of learning from their own experiences. In this situation, these leaders exercise trial and error. However, organizations that rely solely on their past ex

    How Can You Win If You Don't Play? Moving From Fear Into Action
    This topic is one I know will resonate with you because if you're alive, you know what it feels like to be afraid. Overcoming fear is something I work on both personally and professionally. Being an effective coach involves constant support of clients like you by way of helping you to shift perspective. When you have a new perspective, a fresh look at possibility, you come to understand that what you once perceived as barriers were merely obstacles disguised by fear.From that standpoint, the fear of failure and the subsequent inertia it creates, are effectively eliminated.
