Eavesdropping #Atozchallenge #Ukraine

“What is this place?” My husband asked. “And why doesn’t the hotel manager know about it?”

“It is a long story. For now, I will tell you this: You are in the year 1992. We have safety portals that we are opening for Ukrainians as we speak. When you came through the portal in 2010, we were in one of our training exercises. The portal allowed you in. We believe it’s because it knew you would be coming back. There is one of our experts who will have more time to explain how things work. We need your help to prepare. Most of the food and supplies you have purchased, you must bring through the portal. You will use a laundry cart to move those supplies. Then you will wait for the family to come from Mariople.”

In some cases, vaccine certificates predated the existence of government-issued passports.

Develop. Inspire. Transform.

passion lives in the wind
and in every pocket of your skin

just as magic resides
in our hearts and minds

Do you remember how it felt when kindness reigned the night?

love burned brighter than it’s ever been

to know you are there, and I am here

waiting upon your kiss carried on the wind
like seeds floating through the atmosphere

the membrane between you and I becomes thin

Why is it Terrible to Have High Employee Turnover

MiddleMe

Is your company constantly having to replace employees, especially in critical positions? Your company may be experiencing high employee turnover or a high number of old workers leaving your company in a span of a year.

Turnovers are not uncommon as employees come and go for many reasons. Some may leave the company because their contract has expired, retired, or the company is undergoing restructuring or layoffs. Others may leave voluntarily because they found a new career or are no longer happy with the company.

We Can Do Better Wednesdays: Do Better (fka Baby Floors), Chapter 9, Introduction

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is the start of the rough draft of  Chapter 9 of my non-fiction WiP, Do Better, fka Baby Floors.   This part of chapter 8 will introduce the later years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase III.

The overall objective remains that of putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Outlines for chapter 9 will attempt to match with each section, at the bottom of early years posts.

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us.  This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s
