“Do you go the extra mile? Do you do more than what is expected? Do you expect the best? These questions pertain not only to your relationship with the world but also how you treat yourself. Do you go the extra mile when it comes to you, or do you think that the least is enough for you? There are people who believe that struggle, servitude, and sacrifice are the best they can hope for in this life. They look for ways and reasons to be okay with the things they believe are not okay with your lives. Other people……

Picture this: “David has been homeless since the age of 12. He first started “couch surfing”, but by age 17 David ran out of places to visit and ended up on the streets. Even while living on the streets, David worked hard to stay in school. A social worker eventually connected with David and let him know about the youth shelter where he currently lives. Penny says he has been hopping trains for a few months now. Jimi has been traveling for the better part of two years. She took a few months to “kick it” in Los Angeles, but she says it’s……

Trauma; not for women only?

We are looking at women’s health as dynamic and diverse and codependent on so many other factors. We are talking about multiple health perspectives to include: physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, and financial health. This week we are looking at Trauma. It can impact all of these areas. So, have you ever, or do you know someone who has experienced an unexpected heart attack, stroke, rape, domestic abuse, torture, genocide, war, mass killings, human trafficking? Horrible? YES!

What pajamas should you wear to get a good night’s sleep?

Posted on November 21, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“If you’re not willing or able to shell out for silk, try bamboo, which is both moisture-wicking and hypoallergenic. Yala has some great minimalist options, or check out surfer-chic Australian brand . But the real key to picking the perfect pajamas is to make sure they’re comfortable for you. According to Matt Bianchi, the director of the Sleep Division at Massachusetts General Hospital, there’s been very little rigorous scientific investigation into what you should be wearing to bed, so the best sleepwear (or pillow, or bedding, or mattress) for you is “dominated by individual preference” — aka totally subjective. So, if polyester makes you dozy……

Dreams can come true

I was born into a once upon a time and a happily ever after world. There was a song in the musical fairy tale Cinderella that claimed: A dream is a wish your heart makes when you’re fast asleep. In dreams, you will have no heartaches, whatever you wish for you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come shining through.

What do you do when coaching is not a choice?

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Coaching is a process of relationship building and setting goals. The coach develops specific skills for tasks, challenges and performance expectations. How well you coach is related directly to how well you are able to foster a great working relationship. One of the critical ingredients of effective coaching is the ability to ask the right questions. “How many of us are aware there is a right and wrong way to ask a question? Do you know if you ask the wrong question you won’t get the information you need? Nowhere is this truer than in our relationships. For example, rather than asking,……

“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.”[1] “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”[2] “The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity – or it……

“What would you do if you had no home and no family? Where would you turn if every road ended at a brick wall? Sarah Bishop Hart, a small, gentlewoman from the hills of Southwest, Virginia was born into a world without hope. When she was five years old, her father her out to a family she had never met. From that day, Sarah never knew a real home or what it is like to have a true family. She ate from table scraps, slept in outbuildings, and never felt welcome – no matter where she was. She lived with……
