Sittin In The Middle of the Week on a "Thursday"?

Sittin in the middle of the

week

and wishing you

a

"wicked cool THURSDAY"

I stand corrected now by

FIRM

who has written

that it is NOT Wednesday!

oops

I believe I lost a day this week!

glad I have Warriors to

call me out from time to time ~

LOL

...

The emails came in yesterday from many who responded and felt deeply on the thoughts written on yesterday's blog...

Yes seems I was on a roll

here!

hehe

thanks for all the mail,

I enjoy hearing for you here and there and everywhere!

And yes,

amid the outrage

that republican mayor up in NJ

 Gov. Chris Christie has strongly defended his decision to have flags flown at half-staff Saturday for Whitney Houston!

...

So there ya go,

the man is standing his ground and saying the flag will be lowered to honor on of New Jersey's own, her contributions and cultural, musical influence and the impact she gave and that she never forgot where she came from.

><

Impact...

Beauty///

I was thinking about those words today;

about the impact of music

the beauty of each note

the power behind each word

and

what we each do in our lives

with hopes with dreams

with each foot print we leave.

and

then

that ole' reality crept in...

Speaking all over the place

on

Compassion Fatigue to those who bear witness to stories that are hard to imagine in a regular day;

hearing that they are weary,

that organizations don't care the way they used to...

I then hear that

perhaps

Compassion Fatigue is not as

"sought after"

as it once was

and

I become amazed.

For those doing the work say how they have waited for conferences

and

speakers

and

seminars

to address this very subject.

And I have to wonder.

Why isn't the message getting out

to workers, to hospitals, military, EMT's, and hospices

that they have to take care of those doing such hard work;

that conferences and seminars addressing

Compassion Fatigue

are worthy of attendence for those doing the work that involves their brain, their bodies, their nervous systems

as they deal with human conditions, human sorrow and stories that would make you stay awake at night as you absorb them into your own meaning systems along with your own home?

Many of these professionals

take those traumas, those stories into their very souls

not one story

but

many ... day in and day out

and become weary

become drained.

Who cares for the caregivers?

Compassion Fatigue is flourishing in our country

as the best

find no where to share their stories,

no energy for their own lives,

and

give their best to those they are paid to provide best care to.

...

So as I sit in the middle of the week;

I am working on the program that involves a keynote I am going to present to a healthcare organization

hopefully to restore

some

buoyancy

to those fine folks

that may be providing

YOUR care

someday.

And I can't help but wonder,

when are organizations

going to take a moment to realize

the cost/benefit

of sending employees to seminars

and

to have retreats

and host conferences

surely outweigh

having professionals who are weary

and

walk wounded as a result of

caring deeply

...

And at times I join everyone

in thinking

"there's gotta be something more"

Today is one of those days!

I'm ready for a little more "bliss"

Sugarland "something more"

At times I'm thinkin we all can relate to the words here...

and

we sure can appreciate when we feel that those we work for

would have our backs

and

would "stand by me/us"

So for today

my thoughts are short and

"keeping it real"

to let you know

that those out there doin the work

are listening and doing

not just one, but so many

and

they take it into their hearts, nervous systems,

and

see more than most will ever dream of...

Corporations/Organizations

need to stand up

and find ways to restore them

through education/conferences

and

seminars

that are focuses on restoring their passion and buoyancy!

Wishing you a day

or

zip in your dooo dah!
