Asking For Help: One-On-One Communications

September 24, 2019 21:29 - 10 minutes - 9.41 MB

I'm going to begin this post with an ask. Please help me by downloading, sharing and subscribing to One-On-One! Whew! I have trouble asking for help. I'm afraid the answer will be no. I don't want to look weak. Maybe it's the way I was brought up. Don't ask for help, stand up and do it yourself. I think that advice from my Wonderful Mother was good for me for many, many years. But it's different when you are older and friends offer to help. Well, I stopped saying No Thank-you. And I am reall...

How-To Talk To Your Doctor

September 23, 2019 03:23 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MB

Talking to the doctor or any health care professional is not an easy one-on-one conversation. As a patient, we are coming into the conversation at a disadvantage. We are in a position of weakness; they are in a position of power. We are sick, or injured or worried about this disease or that ailment; they, on the other hand, look strong, well dressed, clean and it is understood that they are highly educated. But we need to remember it’s our body, our health is our life, literally. W...

Falling Down and Getting Up Again and Again

September 14, 2019 00:27 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

The number of older Americans who die each year following a fall is rising. According to a study by the Journal for the American Medical Association or JAMA the number of deaths for people over 75 doubled from 2000 to 2016. We are living longer, but now we are dying in great numbers just because we fall down. The worst part, many of these deaths can be prevented. The image you are seeing is an x-ray of my right leg and hip AFTER surgery in August 2019. My bone is shown beneath the three sc...

July 16, 2019 23:22 - 6 minutes - 6.07 MB

THERE ARE WAYS TO LOOK BETTER AND FEEL BETTER ON CAMERA AND THEN CREATE BETTER CONTENT. This works for creators, but it also works for everyone as they go about their day-to-day life. Always take a moment to look in the mirror. The mirror can be your best friend or worst enemy; depending on how much sleep you are getting. I have a few rules about the colors I wear and the powder and brush everyone, especially men must use if they are going to appear on camera, tape a podcast, do a presentat...

Wanting Ice Water - On The Job - Episode 1

June 26, 2019 06:21 - 6 minutes - 5.57 MB

“There's people in hell who want ice water.” That is a quote from the novel "The Man With The Golden Arm," by author Nelson Algren. "Wanting Ice Water" describes how I felt many times as I worked to survive horrible bosses and struggled with sexism and racism and all the other "isms". I used to joke, we must have died and gone to hell, cause this really sucks. Many of us who broke barriers in the last Century believed we were doing it for our daughters and sons who are now working in this C...

"Burying the Lead: The Media and the JFK Assassination" One-On-One with Mal Hyman

June 12, 2019 02:10 - 37 minutes - 34 MB

In Journalism, the lead of the story refers to the most important aspect of an article, usually captured in the first sentences. If the lead is either wrong, confusing or worthless it can be a game-changer. In a democracy, information is power. When the truth is compromised informed decision-making is almost impossible. A free press is vital to keeping our balance of powers in check. "Burying the Lead: The Media and the JFK Assassination" is a readable and scholarly work that has been 30 y...

CONFIDENCE: And Other Treasures My Mother Gave Me: One-On-One - Linda Ramirez Moraga

June 08, 2019 23:03 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

My mother taught me to read, to love books and politics. To love music and the theater. I was raised with lots of love, praise, and encouragement. When my Mom she was angry or disappointed with me, I knew it. I did not like looking in her eyes when she disapproved of something that I was doing or about to do. Relationships between mothers and daughters are very complicated. There is usually a time in your teens when you rebel against everything your mother wants and stands for. My relationsh...

May 27, 2019 05:46 - 8 minutes - 8.22 MB

Sitting down and having a family meal doesn't happen as often as we like in 2019. Having a meal and a conversation with all cell phones and televisions turned off hasn't happened in our house in a long, long, long time. In Honor of Memorial Day weekend, I'm sharing a personal story about something I miss. Sunday breakfast with the family. We also had some great Sunday Pot Roasts too. My dad served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and is in heaven now with my Mom. He loved breakfasts and convers...

May 08, 2019 06:10 - 6 minutes - 6.24 MB

CONTENT IS KING! CONTENT IS KING! CONTENT IS KING! That is a phrase that is drummed into your head when you are an inexperienced writer or reporter. It was for me anyway.

However, it is NOT as easy as it seems. Not at all. That what this audio short is all about. Thank you, YouTube and all the great, talented ...
