Home is where you lay your head and hang your hat. Having a roof over your head gives you a place to be yourself. I could also say it’s where your tribe is whether it be by blood or by friendship. Your home is also a place that changes as you age. Some folks need a home where you feel secure and safe. Home is something everyone needs.

Today is National Selfie Day #nationalselfieday
Today is National Selfie Day so this is from last year when I donated blood on Red Nose Day. Doing good can be fun and can be rewarding.
Older In The Office
I’m almost 50 and age should be just a number but in an office it can issue. Older workers have lots of experience that can benefit the whole company.
It’s interesting that some older workers see lots of people come and go over time. I know that from personal experience.
Personally I try to keep up with the culture so that I might be relevant and relatable to my younger co-workers and other relationships.
Being older in the office doesn’t mean being stuffy it can mean that little can phase you which can be beneficial to all.
Advocating Humans
In advocacy I think training and mentoring people who are on your side is important. I’m a believer that if you are to build a team you need to advance your cause you have to be sure to welcome them and be forgiving if mistakes are made.
For example. It seems to me that any group who needs support from people who are on the outside their community should welcome it even if it’s not as perfect as they would want it to be. Now if you want anything done you can do it yourself or get helpers who can make a difference and if you show them the way then everyone can be on the same page.
Don’t assume someone will do things you have always done them. Change happens and if anyone is to stick around the the long haul you have to allow them ownership and the freedom to bring their experience to the table. In short don’t treat willing workers like children.
Donny and OJ On The Twitter
The fact that both Donald Trump and OJ Simpson are on Twitter should be scary. Of course they are the symptom of a greater problem which is scary enough. OJ is going to have it really rough because of his dubious past. Then Donald Trump tweets and think that is policy which is frightening. Twitter is a place for freaks and geeks with hearts of gold. The Donald and The Juice are two of many in the Twitterverse I could live without.
