Inspirational TV: Interview with Debra K. Adams

Kate Gardner, the compiler of the anthology "The Missing Piece: A Transformational Journey" has interviewed me on her Inspiritional TV Show! We skyped this conversation on Tuesday, December 3, 2013. Kate is located in United Kingdom and I am in Washington State USA! Darn it - Kate's audio did not work properly, so you cannot hear her brilliant repartee, however, my spoken part will give you a good idea of the "why" we did this book as a collaborative masterpiece! Be sure to purchase the book to read my chapter, "5 As to Authenticity"

What are you missing?

What is missing in your life? Is it love? Is it adventure? Is it serenity? Maybe you want to write a book? Go on vacation? If you go through your days, placing one foot in front of the other, feeling bored, stuck, sad, numb, or any number of emotions, it is time. It is your time. First you will want to identify what is missing. How do you do that? "Think it over, think it under!" says Winnie the Pooh. I always begin by making a list of the top 100 things I want to do.

Even my grown kids were talking about doing things from their bucket list! It was a trend, for sure. We can always glean little bits of wisdo...

Women's work: Is it ever done?

So, how does work get identified as men's work? or women's work? is it important to have this distinction assigned? This is a question I ask myself. Often. Any task I complete in keeping my home and person clean is work. Any task I complete in my place of employment is work. I identify myself as a woman. It is "women's work" because I am doing it. However, anyone can do these same tasks. "Work" usually means how a person earns their income. In this 21st Century, we all realize that all people must have a means of income, generally earned via the term "work." Work means activity involving mental or physical effort in order to achieve a result. Labor means actions especially of a physical type. Work and labor are synonyms - meanings are basically the same. Interpretation of the meaning is directly impacted by the person using the terms, based on perspective and experience. The word "labor" is usually attached to the pro...

She lives in the U.K. We are both part of a community created by The Missing Piece book series... this is a group of compassionate and passionate women who love to assist others, hoping to inspire others to reach greatness by sharing our particular life journeys and the pathways leading to success. This book was released in December 2013. The next anthology in this series was released in March 2014. In this book, we shared business strategies and the practices and beliefs that propelled our personal business success. Michelle and I wrote our chapters, as well as 24 other wonderful authors. Just when things were going exceedingly well, my friend ran into a blip....this is the type of blip one is never prepared for and does not voluntarily seek out. You see, interpersonal violence can be devastating. It shows no mercy and spares no one...it can happen to any one of us, at anytime. So I am asking YOU, if you can do any...
