Remember when your word and a handshake meant something

Remember when your word and a handshake meant something

Do you remember when you always tried your best to keep your word? Now it seems that many will say it doesn’t matter.
A lawyer will say “Must be in writing” Your boss may say ” I’ll believe it when I see it” Your client may try to take what they can get for free”
But I still think most people try to do right. When someone tells me, they will do this or that, I believe them. If I shake hands with someone or they give me their word, I trust them. I try my best to be honest and keep my word, why should I doubt others?
I am not saying to stop having signed contracts so your lawyer doesn’t have a heart attack. That is legal business stuff. You have to do it. What I am saying is let’s stop letting the “bad” “untruthful” and “liars” turn our perspective into “doubting Thomases”
As the saying goes “What you put out there, comes back to you”
Today I will trust everyone! I will not let the negative people make me negative! Let the good guys win!
What do you think?

Ladies , we have another woman whom we should celebrate for being a beautiful woman in her own right.
The new wife of George. Clooney, Amal Alamuddins is beautiful and charming but let’s not dim the light on the other facets of Amal. Her heart, intelligence and drive round out this remarkable young woman.
Yes she has married George Clooney so now let’s also add a “happily married wife” to her personal life resume.

Amal was born February 3, 1978 in Beirut Lebanon to Ramzi and Baria Alamuddin. She has 3 brothers and sisters. Amal is an accomplished international lawyer with a BA/LLB from St. Hugh’s College, Oxford University and a Masters of Law degree from New York University of Law. Besides currently filling the position of barrister in London, representing clients in cases before the International Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights she also serves on a variety of United Nations commissions.

Amal is also a scholar, she co-edited the book The Special Tribunal for Lebanon: Law and Practice. In addition, Alamuddin has served as a guest lecturer on international criminal law in London, New York, the Hague Academy of International Law and The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Amal Alamuddin- wife, lawyer, activist, scholar, advisor, daughter, sister, the list continues growing for this amazing woman.
Remember, Celebrating the wonderfulness of another woman does not speak less of any other woman. In fact in celebrating the happiness and accomplishments of another woman brings a light to our heart and the wonderful celebration of all women.

Positively Living focuses on Bullies in the Workplace , Guest Ron Watkins

Positively Living  broadcasts from radio station AM1350 WZGM in Asheville NC. Sunday’s episode of Positively Living is focused on Bullies in the Workplace!

Have you ,or someone you know, been the victim of Bullying in your workplace? If so, you may want to tune into our show to understand bullies and how to react. Sometimes it is difficult to point your finger on if it is bullying or just a bad boss.

This topic is not a positive issue which is what we strive for on Positively Living but to handle difficult and important problems in life, personally- spiritually and in business, we must be able to recognize and know how to handle the situation. We must also realize that it is not a fault in us but the bullying person.

We hear of bullying in schools and on playgrounds too . But bullying doesn’t just happen to children. It is rampant in the workplaces across the world and in our own hometown.

Ron Watkins, of Mountain Sky Consulting , joins me to share important information on “Bullies in the Workplace”

Tune in on Sunday 8am for Positively Living on WZGM 1350am Independent Asheville Radio or stream online at http:www.1350wzgm.com

Positively Living guest Clint Parker co-owner of the Weaverville Tribune shares his experiences on  “Believers and Community Newspapers”
Clint Parker will share with you his life experiences dealing with inspirational parents, prison ministries, working and creating in the newspaper industry while we discuss the impact of community newspapers.
Please join us tomorrow , Sunday March 3, 2013 on 1350am WZGM in WNC or listen online at Tune In

Notes from Leslie:
We hope our next episode of Positively Living will open your eyes to the different connections and involvements of our guest, Clint Parker’s story. Is time removing important community connections? Connections that once gone, may push each of us away from our neighbors and community concerns? Pushing us closer into “Me, me, me ” instead of  Caring for our neighbors.
 If we are surrounded only by like minded persons, how can we connect with those in need?
 Thank you to our Father, Clint Parker, our listeners and readers and the Positively Living crew for contributing to this episode.

Positively Living guest Jeff Brooks. What do you do at 5,000 feet?

On our last episode of Positively Living, our guest was Jeff Brooks. Jeff is the senior  pastor of Amazing Grace Church and co- director of Alpha-NC-West.
Jeff shared his life story with us. Some of Jeff’s life experiences include rebellion, drugs, taunting God in very high places and that life changing call.
Join us to learn how and when God stopped Jeff in his tracks? It is a story that may make you rethink some words you have heard before. Or it may do to you what it did for me, uplift and bring joy to my heart. You see, we believe at Positively Living, the Good News that refuels us and puts joy in our hearts may touch you too.
Do you party with your friends and try to find that thing that is missing in your life, heart, soul? You may try to find it in that drink, smoke or drug. Maybe you are looking for the thing that makes you feel the warmth and belonging in sex, jumping out of a plane, joining a gang or some other activity that leaves you good for a moment but just Doesn’t last.
We say to you ……Keep your ears open and one day you will see that God is calling you. Yes You! Answer him and find that deep down love, we all need!

Notes from Leslie:
