Community – Then and Now As a child I grew up in a small backwoods town. If you drove through it you wouldn't even believe that we considered it a "town" and might even chuckle at the thought. We had, I think maybe about 300 people in our little town. My family lived on about a hundred acres, so our neighbors needless to say were not "just next door." Teach Them to Care -- Your Potential IS Our Passion! ™ We achieve this through faith-based initiatives, advanced coaching and mentoring, community programs and projects, with emphasis placed on financial education, literacy, advanced career skill development, promoting stronger community citizenship, and (independent) fulfillment of vacancies in their own community support systems, as well as how to embrace these proven strategies for a more secure future. TTTC has adopted a strong commitment to partnering with other organizations when it is fiscally appropriate, reasonable, and or complimentary to do so; as well as a commitment to the "exclusive" use of program materials, curricula and concepts which have already been "proven" in our program offerings. TTTC is a Christian organization located and serving in the Greater Nashville Tennessee area. We are in need of operational funding, Donors, Corporate Sponsors, skilled Volunteers for our Board of Directors, Volunteer Business Coaches and Mentors, Sponsored Charity Events and Fundraisers as well as Donations of office equipment and supplies. TTTC is also looking for a donated office space in Nashville, Antioch, or Brentwood, Tennessee area. This type donation would be an excellent tax write off for a company that has un-leased space costing it money. We would not expect the company to provide long term use, should they not desire to, and would only ask for a two week of notice to vacate. EveryOne..."Everyone 'Hears' What you Say...

Lessons I've Learned...I've learned .. that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of people who are older than me. I've learned .. that when you're in love, it shows. I've learned .. that just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day. I've learned .. that I feel better about myself when I make others feel better about themselves. I've learned .. that having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world. I've learned .. that what we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. I've learned .. that one sincere apology is worth more than all the roses money can buy. I've learned .. that words harshly spoken are as difficult to retrieve as feathers loosed in a gale. I've learned .. that being kind is more important than being right. I've learned .. that you should never say no to a gift from a child. I've learned .. that I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way. I've learned .. that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. I've learned .. that sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold, an ear to listen or a heart to understand. I've learned .. that simple walks with my Pa-Pal on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult. I've learned .. that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. I've learned .. that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for. I've learned .. that money doesn't buy class. I've learned .. that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. I've learned .. that once a relationship is over, if you experienced more smiles than tears, then it wasn't a waste of time. I've learned .. that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved. I've learned .. never to humiliate another person. Always give him an honorable way to back down or out of something and still save face. I've learned .. that the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can? I've learned .. that if you are still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven't done much today. I've learned .. that to ignore the facts does not change the facts. I've learned .. that when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you. I've learned .. that you view other people's children in a whole different light when you have some of your own. I've learned .. that the older I get, the smarter my mom becomes. I've learned .. that learning never ends and that I will continue to learn for the rest of my life...

Current mood: calm Category: Writing and Poetry It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't matter to me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide, fade or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can hear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trust worthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, everyday, and if you can source your own life from its presence. It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. It doesn't matter to me who you know and how you come to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. I want to know you can be alone with yourself and you truly like the company you keep in empty moments... ..."The invitation" - I found this one day... and thought it was beautiful.. best ~mm http://teachthemtocare.org/Documents/FLLA4ColorPoster.pdf Who am i?

Quote Middle Tennessee Idealist Network & Nashville Nonprofit Organizations Meetup a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the REASON you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die... Sometimes they walk away.. Sometimes they act up in some way and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real... But only for a SEASON. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you are a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.
He Said He Is FOREVER FaithfulI have to Believe that He sees my darkness, I have to believe He knows my pain, I have to lift up my hands to worship, worship His name! I have to Declare that He is my Refugee, I have to Deny that I am alone, I have to lift up my eyes to the mountains, That's where My Help it Comes from. He Said that He Is FOREVER Faithful, He said that He is FOREVER TRUE. He Says that He CAN Move Mountains, If He can move Mountains, He can move My Mountains, He can Move Your Mountain Too. I have to stand tall when the wind blows me over, I have to stand strong when I am weak and afraid, I have to Grab Hold, a Hold of The Garments, The Garments of Praise. He Said that He Is FOREVER Faithful, He said that he is FOREVER TRUE. He Said that He CAN Move Mountains, If He can move Mountains, He can move My Mountain, He can Move Your Mountain Too. I have to sing Praise when the Hour Is Midnight, He unlocks these chains that Bind-up my Soul, My sin and my shame He Has FORGIVEN and made me whole. He Said that He Is FOREVER Faithful, He said that He is FOREVER TRUE. He Said that He CAN Move Mountains, If He can move Mountains, He can move My Mountains, He can Move Your Mountain Too. This song is used in a video at a web site called Safe Hugs. I've no idea who sings the song or who wrote it, but I have found that it can apply to many, many challenges that we might be dealing with in life...

Happy reading & God Bless, Marilyn http://Can-We-Talk-About-It.blogspot.com CareerJournal | Nonprofit-Board Work Can Boost Your CareerBy Gene J. Koprowski
When Neil Cohen lost his marketing and sales role in 2001 with Campsix Inc., a San Francisco-based professional-services firm, finding a new job took over a year. It was "a disappointing time for me and for lots of people, especially here in Northern California," he says. But Mr. Cohen didn't let his skills lapse. He plunged into volunteer work, serving as a member of the board of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters chapter in San Francisco, while job hunting. "I've been with nonprofit boards for the past 15 years of my life," he says. "It's important to give back to the community in some way, shape or form." The board role helped Mr. Cohen sustain his network of contacts, which in turn led to his new position as vice president at Tranvia Inc., a transaction-processor based in New York City. His contacts, developed over years of volunteering on the board, helped lead to the new job. "If there's some good karma that comes back to you as a result [of volunteering], so be it," he says. Other unemployed executives find a similar strategy works for them, according to Brooke Mahoney, executive director of New York City-based Volunteer Consulting Group and founder of boardnetusa.org, a service that links executive volunteers and nonprofits in need. There are about 1.2 million nonprofit board seats that become available every year, notes Ms. Mahoney, and about 1 million executives who want to serve as a volunteer board member. Serving on a nonprofit board offers several advantages for executives. It can help them to keep their skills sharp and spirits up and to develop new contacts and job leads. "There are a lot of senior executives who are what I call 'atrophied thoroughbreds,' '' says Ms. Mahoney. "They may be brilliant in their own framework. But getting out of their hierarchical world may be a real growth experience." Serving on a nonprofit board can help them develop additional skills, such as setting strategy and vision for an organization, which they may not do on a day-to-day basis in their professional roles. "From a management point of view, many executives' skills have withered [while unemployed] because they haven't used them," says Gary P. Steuer, president and chief executive officer of the Arts and Business Council Inc., a New York-based nonprofit which connects executives with boards of nonprofit arts organizations. John D. Rockefeller III and the Board of Trade in New York City founded the group about 30 years ago. "By volunteering for a nonprofit, they can work on big-picture issues," says Mr. Steuer.
Join Before You Need To
Executives bring to the table a variety of attributes -- time, wealth, skills or connections are just a few. By using these to aid a group's mission -- whether it's funding homeless shelters, AIDs research or a university-endowment program -- executives are expected to influence others, particularly their well-heeled peers. It's wise to get involved while you're still working, particularly if you're interested in working with a large, prestigious organization. "We counsel [nonprofits] to build a board based on the skills, interests and contacts that are needed," says David King, vice president of Alexander, Haas, Martin & Partners, an Atlanta consulting firm to nonprofit founders. Mr. Steuer puts it bluntly: Major "organizations want you for your skills and your company." He adds, "Don't have unrealistic expectations. If you're currently unemployed, you're less valuable." Smaller organizations -- the bulk of nonprofits -- may be more amenable to a pitch from an unemployed executive, however. There are about 820,000 nonprofits in the U.S., but more than half have budgets of $25,000 or less. "That's a great place for a young person to be," says Ms. Mahoney. She says executives should view serving on boards as their "board career" and develop strategies that will help them enhance their professional career and make a contribution to the nonprofit's mission.
Where Do You Fit? Finding the right organization to assist is key. Before volunteering your services, consider what you want to do. Don't choose something that will become a chore. Instead, narrow your choice to a cause you can commit to, says Mr. King. "Being employed or unemployed isn't the main point," says Maryanne Peabody, founder of Boston-based nonprofit consultancy Stybel Peabody Lincolnshire, and founder of boardoptions.com, an online service for executives interested in nonprofit-volunteer services. "You must choose the organization whose mission you agree with." Many executives join the Arts and Business Council because they want to reconnect creatively with themselves and the arts, says Mr. Steuer, a former theatrical producer. His group runs Business Volunteers for the Arts, which recruits business executives with a passion for the arts and puts them through a 10-hour training program to orient them to the nonprofit arts world. Scores of volunteers filter through the program every year in its offices across the country. Executives who complete the course start as pro bono consultants to arts groups. "Eventually, they end up joining the board of directors," says Mr. Steuer. "It serves as an organic boards program, and it gives us insight into what individual businesspeople get out of involvement." In turn, the volunteers feel as though they're making a difference and rekindle their former passions, such as a love for art or music, he says. Some executives volunteer for reasons Mr. Steuer describes as "enlightened self-interest" -- meaning that their volunteer work helps further a personal goal as well as helps others. For instance, as a volunteer for babybuggy.org, Tina Sharkey, a former executive at Children's Television Workshop Online and other dot-coms, feels she's contributing to a good cause while maintaining her connections in the entertainment industry. Babybuggy.org, based in New York, provides "gently used" and new baby clothes and accessories to impoverished new mothers who can't afford them because they live below the poverty line. Jessica Seinfeld, wife of comic Jerry Seinfeld and mother of toddler, Sascha, founded the group. Ms. Sharkey is currently working with Majestic Partners, a New York City new-media firm, and connects with other entertainment executives through her volunteer work. "These kinds of engagements can hone business skills, in addition to benefiting [you] in other, intangible ways," says Mr. Steuer. "Often business is highly specialized. If you're in marketing, you're responsible for sales of a brand. It's rare to get a chance to step back and look strategically, rather than tactically, at problems. This is a chance to apply the skills one has."
Helping With Hiring Decisions
Parker McDonell recently left his position as a senior vice president at Bank One in Columbus, Ohio, and formed an investment company in the music business in Nashville, Tenn. He serves on an array of boards, including Schools and Communities, a national organization with local branches, which helps students in troubled inner-city schools. "This has helped more broadly establish my networking contacts," says Mr. McDonell. Unemployed executives who serve on nonprofit boards often find their volunteer work is invaluable in landing a new job. Potential employers who meet you through the board will already be familiar with your work, says Mr. King. "Serving on a board is networking with people who may be able to hire you directly or recommend you to someone else," he says. "Hiring is often a risk. You see [someone] on paper and check references, but you're going on faith. If you've served on a board with someone, you have actual and direct experience with how they get things done. That can be beneficial." In the long run, becoming a nonprofit-board member or consultant can boost your career. "If someone has been a good board member, fulfilling the expectations of the organization, it can be a real advantage," says Mr. King. "Especially if you're surrounded by other people who have influence -- CEOs and owners of companies, people high up on the corporate food chain. If you do what they expect, you have credibility." Executives caution that once you are unemployed -- you may be inundated with requests from smaller boards of directors to serve. "My advice to other executives would be that when you leave your job, be prepared," says Mr. McDonell. "Others will assume that you have all the free time in the world to serve, and the requests to serve may be increased. But be careful to not jump into too many things. Searching for a job itself can be a full-time job. You have to manage your time." -- Mr. Koprowski is a writer in Chicago.
