There are 100 at each company. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some with gray hair some are bald. They yell, they talk down, they belittle. So what do you do? Here are just a few pointers.
* Don't take it personal. He’s probably has been a jerk all of his life. Know that it’s him, not you.
* Save the tears. Crying means you are taking his actions personally.
* Stand firm in your point and position. Don’t be bullied.
* Don't talk about him to everyone in the office or bitch about him openly. It will just fuel your anger. Everyone already knows he is an ass (whether they openly admit it or not).
*If you have an encounter with him don’t re-play or re-create the scene over and over in your head. It will continue to recycle the negative energy and will just make you more upset!
* Don’t compromise your professionalism or integrity by “Loosing it”. Keep it together.
* You cannot change him, however you can control your reaction to him. He does not have the power to make you unhappy, unless you let him.
This is a temporary situation it will eventually pass away... and so will that old bastard!
On a serious note, notify Human Resources if it becomes harassment.

Filling The Gap
I recently decided to close the large dental gap in between my two front teeth. I am about 1/2 way through my Invisalign treatment and I am now starting to see the physical difference of my smile. This isn't the first time I have committed myself to physicly altering medical treatment to fix what I do not like about my appearance. People have complimented me on my gap, but in my head I took it as a form of mocking. I was told before that my smile is one of my best attributes, however the compliment came from my mother (she has a gap too).
Since I was a kid in school, I wanted to close it because it was the source of cruel teasing. Because of finances braces were never an option. Any time I was teased, my gap would be the point of focus. "Shut up with your ugly rabbit gap teeth" I would get teased more about by gap rather than the fact that I also wore glasses.
No one has teased me for at least a decade, however my gap is a physical unattractive flaw. Although, I'm sure others could not care less about the arraignment of my dental structure, I still feel the need to close it. I know that now I am closing it for me, and not to silence my teasers.
Beauty comes from within, and confidence is the best accessory!

Work It On Out
I just recently joined a local gym. My initial reason for joining was to help me train for a marathon. After a few weeks of working out, I can honestly say it feels great physically, ,mentally and emotionally. One day after a great work out I felt like Jim Carrey's character Vera Demilo from the show "In Living Color"

Natural Hair Sunday
I just discovered "Natural Hair Sunday" on Twitter! It is awesome. Natural Hair Sunday is many naturally curly hair women posting positive affirmations about wearing your hair the way it grows from your head minus chemical straighteners. The simple hashtag #NaturalHair unites so many women and their coils.
I am so excited by my new discovery!

Happy New Start?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
For some reason I always want to add the "s" at the end and make it Happy New Years! LOL! But here we go again making resolutions. My resolution last year was to save money and practice yoga. I didn't take my first yoga class until the end of November and I ended the year with $75 in my bank account. Sad right? I still felt somewhat accomplished, because I still did it... but just not as glorious as I wished for. (Master Yogi, doing head stands and back bends) I still haven't grasped the basic chaturanga) My thought this year is why bother! Don't get me wrong I still have goals and tasks I plan to accomplish this year. For example I want to run races, and eventually a marathon. I also would like to host a fundraiser or a big community service event.
I feel that I can continue become my best self without naming a resolution.
Umm...does that count as a resolution too?
My favorite quote from Food4Spirit to keep me motivated when going through something difficult.
Jesus did not need a calm sea,...He only needed to get to the other side. If the way to the other side was through a terrible storm, so be it. He trusted God to get him there.
