• Cultural Diversity and Perceptual Bias by Devona Williams, Ph.D.
  With the events of the past few weeks surrounding the tragedy of Trayvon Martin, we may be reminded of what we truly see when we judge others by their appearance.  When it comes to the cultural diversity of people who come in every color, gender, and size and a host of other differences, many are heard saying “when I look at other people, I don’t see color but who they are as a person”.  How many

• A Need for Diversity by Al Spinks
  One way in which I give back to this country, which has provided me with such tremendous opportunity, is to volunteer my time and talent with local nonprofit organizations. One afternoon during a committee meeting for one of these nonprofits we happened to become stumped on how to provide a particular service. After struggling with this problem for most of the meeting a quiet voice spoke up from t

• Understanding Diversity by Julian Jackson
  What is diversity? I am sure many people hear this word and never really get a clear understanding. My goal is to help clear up the ambiguity. Diversity is understanding the differences that make each person unique. Everyone has their own identity and make up and it comes from a wide variety of backgrounds. Being able to accept these differences in identity and make up is  what diversit

• Attitude-Get One! by Al Foxx
  When you have a winning Attitude, you do everything you possibly can to prepare to win. Because you’re PREPARED to win, you EXPECT to win. The measure of how prepared a person is, is whether they are able to perform at the top of their abilities. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting beaten by somebody who has greater abilities than your own, but there is great shame in getting beaten
• Attitude is Everything by Al Foxx
  The power of Attitude, believing in one's own ability-strength-destiny is made crystal clear in The Dave Clark Story.    Diamond in the Rough    Imagine being 5-foot-2 and playing professional baseball. And not just playing, but also managing, coaching, scouting, owning a professional barnstorming team that toured the country, and traveling Europe as a representative of Major League Baseball.
• Attitude Teamwork by Al Foxx
  Life is a lot like a football game or a play on Broadway.  While some players have roles that have them on stage more often, or maybe they have greater athletic ability than the average player, an Attitude of teamwork is essential. Even the best of the best need the rest of the team.  How efficiently would the play make its’ point if the actor with the starring role also had to manage the light
• Attitude of Love by Al Foxx
  Since love is undeniably the strongest Attitude one can have, it’s probably way past time I have a post or more talking about the power love. Because I’m not a poet and because I know it, when Bonnie sent me the poem below, it seemed too perfect not to Blog it. Love is like magic And it always will be. For love still remains Life’s sweet mystery! Love works in ways That are wondrous and
• United Were Not, Devided We Are by Donnie Bolena
  Do you remember the reaction on 9/11/2001 from "Our Country tis of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty? I do, I remember owning a small delivery company in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Do you know what the number one item I was delivering each and every day? It was the American Flag, it was Flag poles, I had more work then I could keep up with. This was only a second job for me to make some extra
• Progressive Attitudes by Al Foxx
  The current of life is always moving. Life can be understood to be like swimming upstream; the speed of the currant depends upon our Attitudes. We are either moving forward or backward. If we relax and just float, the current carries us downstream, away from our goals. For years, goals filled my thoughts, day and night. My goals were to walk and talk and drive efficiently enough to at least ser
• Attitude-Coach John Wooden by Al Foxx

• Over The Wall Attitudes by Al Foxx
  Upon first hearing of over the wall problem solving, I had thought I would be interested in exploring it in depth, but upon beginning my exploration of this problem-solving technique, my interest was immediatly drawn away. For anybody interested in learning more about this method, http://www.winwenger.com/overwall.htm and many other sites offer plenty of information. What I learned from
• Four Attitude Agreements by Al Foxx
  Because I believe our Attitudes can either be our castle or our coffin, and because I also believe our Attitude is our choice, whenever I read something that seems relevant to Attitudes, I think about how it applies to the Attitude I’m currently choosing to have. The book The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz seems extremely relevant to the subject of Attitudes and our ability to choose our Attitu
• Attitudes Have No Boundaries by Al Foxx
  Having a humble, helpful Attitude of love and respect toward everyone we touch is the only sensible Attitude. The idea that there’s a boundary between self and others, that we can see ourselves as valuable and loveable if we are harming someone else, is false and denies the connection that we all share.   The harm in denying our mutual identity is that this Attitude is passed on to new genera

  Transcendence:  Lying beyond the ordinary range of perception. Western Culture is witnessing a malaise of the spirit due to the want of rhapsodic transcendence.  We inherited many good things from the Greeks, including their neurotic tendencies for lifeless intellectual systems of thought.  The abstract grammar of logic and mathematics are the unchallenged idolatries of th...
• Diversity and Martin Buber: I and Thou By Dr. Josiah Rich Dr. Josiah Rich         posted in: Diversity
  Martin Buber (1878-1965) was an eminent Jewish Philosopher.  His most influential work was perhaps "Ich und Du" which was translated into English as "I and Thou."  Reading this book was a great challenge to me, but it was worth the effort. "I and Thou"' was based on Buber's philosophy of Dialogue which explored the distinction of what he called "I-Thou" or "I-it." ...

  The Johari Window is named after its inventors Jozeph Luft and Harry Ingham.  It is a model used to describe the process of human interaction.  I was first made aware of it during my training in clinical chaplaincy.  Our supervisor used it in order to help us as chaplain interns understand our interaction with one another and with patients we had to see on a daily basis.

  The pendulum clock was invented by Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695).  In his great book "Horologium Oscillatorium" published in 1673 he discusses pendulum clocks among other topics.  Don Colbert, M.D. writes of Huygens, "One day as he lay in bed, staring at his clock collection on the other side of the room, he noticed that all of the pendulums were swinging in unison, ...
