Photography in many ways has become a way to process emotions and situations. Recent happenings were a bit harder to digest, but then I remembered this old saying: "Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop".

Of course in this day and age when most of us use digital camera’s or smart phones, that’s no longer true. Don’t you wish that had translated to other things in life as well?

To create this photo I used the Rolleiflex that my father gave to me. This thing was the cream of the crop back in the day. While I enjoy trying out medium format film, it’s the gesture that my dad gave this to me when he saw my photography that meant the most.

OnSomble,Inc. Partners with Kaiser Permanente to Highlight the Links Between Professional Role Clarity, Practice Excellence, and Patient Outcomes during Nurses Week Celebrations

Dr. Maria O’Rourke, chief strategy officer and chief nursing officer for OnSomble, Inc., recently served as a keynote speaker for Kaiser Permanente Southern California during their Nurses Week celebrations.

“It is always an honor to join in events that honor our nurses, but especially during Nurses Week,” notes Dr. O’Rourke. “The 2013 theme, ‘Delivering Quality and Innovation in Patient Care,’ is a subject about which I am very passionate,” Dr. O’Rourke continues. “Focused attention on role clarity and professional role as a pivotal decision maker on the interdisciplinary team are key factors that impact practice excellence and directly ties to positive patient outcomes and patient safety, the goal of all nursing practice.”

Kaiser Permanente shares the belief that a role clear and competent workforce is crucial for practice excellence. Through Dr. ORourkes work and inspirational presentation Kaiser Permanente nurses are reminded that the care they provide is not only a sacred calling but also part of a profession committed to the highest standards.

Michael Green
redneck words of wisdom

Image by Foxtongue
from that day:

He was an ______. Everything hateful about the teenage brain. Ignorant yet opinionated, hateful, and crude. "You want to be remembered? Find some fucking ten year old kid with an ice-cream cone and shove it in his face. Bloody his fucking nose if you can. I guarantee you in fifty years, he’ll still be telling that story. That’s fuckin’ immortality, yeah. That’s being famous."

It was easy to dislike him, even on sight. The semiotics of his clothing said he was aggressive, stupid, and mean. His uneven buzzcut matched his acne scars, matched the half smoked American cigarette that sat behind his ear, (looking like he’d fished it from the floor of a dirty men’s room), matched the cheap nylon sports jacket, matched the greasy whine of his voice. His accessories all looked stolen.

I was sitting across the aisle from him on the bus, on my way to see Michael for the last time before I left town, trying to concentrate on reading my lovely new book, and instead building up a quite justifiable loathing for the redneck prick loudly mouthing off beside me. He sat facing backwards in his seat, feet braced against the backrest, all the better to dispense his wisdom to the lapdog thug-kids he was talking to. Within reach, I thought.

"What you do is you shit on the pile of coats, fucking piss all over them, then fade back into the party. Someone will come out, say something fucking stupid, like, "hey, I think someone’s maybe shit on everything," ’cause no one wants to be the fucking guy who says there’s shit, right? And you don’t say a fucking word. No one will know!"

My first impulse was to spook him, my second to drag him off the bus and pop him in the head. The story I was reading spoke of redemption, hatred, the torture of self-knowledge laid bare. I opted for my first idea. Less messy. Only gods and brave doctors know what he might have, anyway. One split knuckle is all it takes. Yuck.

Back in the day, I used to work for this six foot five Russian cowboy ‘from Old Country’ named Boris. A secretly teddy-bear NYC bouncer turned Toronto nightclub owner, he could be easily be the scariest man you might ever meet. I’ve only got one photograph of him, sadly, but in it, he dwarfs everything. It wasn’t his size, though, that was so intimidating, it was how he used his voice.

As the bus pulled through the intersection at 14th and 11th, I stood up, borrowed every actor’s trick of body I know to make myself seem as solid and immovable and as confident and nasty as possible, and I put my hand down hard on the boy’s shoulder. He looked up at me, rattled, surprised, people don’t touch strangers in the city, and I leaned down, met his widened eyes, conjured that wonderful Russian terror and very quietly said, "In my country, we kill children like you."

Then I got off the bus, met Michael, and we had a lovely pot of tea. So there.

Streetside Words, Wit, Wisdom with DeBraer, July 2004
great words of wisdom

Image by gumption
DeBraer is a man who once made his home under an overhang of the building formerly occupied by City Greens in the University District of Seattle. We enjoyed several exchanges when I worked in the area. I bought him a few meals and brought him a few books, and he shared his notebook in which he wrote about sports, religion, politics and homelessness. Among the gems were a commentary on a local baseball player, to whom he posed the question "Are you willing to win, or do you simply want to endure?", and further on, the formula "Preparation + opportunity = success." After bringing him dinner from IHOP one evening – he knew exactly what he wanted: three eggs sunny-side up, two baked potatoes with lots of butter & sour cream, and a steak – he sang me a song with a great voice and deep soul.

As seems to be the case with nearly every human being I get to know – even a little – there was more to DeBraer than initially met the eye, or at least my eye. I was impressed with this man’s writing and singing, and perhaps most of all, with the fact that this man knows what he wants and is not afraid to ask for it.

A Bible Verse Finder Can Reveal a Special Bible Message That Corresponds to Your Birthday

Performing an Internet inquiry for the term, “bible verse finder” or “bible scripture search” can produce countless biblical results and resources, such as reading plans, study tools, community forums, encouraging and inspirational bible verses for daily living, or messages about different topics of life.

The Bible is a tremendous reference for the reasons mentioned, but it also carries special meaning for every human being. It has to do with the day you were born. Your birth date may be important to you and to your loved ones, but it’s even more significant in the eyes of God. You are His creation, a child of God. He planned in advance the day you would be born. Know that He has a special and unique plan and purpose for your life. From now on, cherish your birthday knowing that the Great One had this day earmarked for you all along.

Here is a unique way for you, your family members and friends to have some fun with this timeless book of God’s Word. It has to do with the biblical verses that correspond with the month and day you were born.

For example, let’s say that four individuals have birthdays that fall on New Years Day, Fourth of July, Halloween, and Christmas Day.

Here are the bible verses (NLT) that correspond with each of these birthdays:

-New Years Day  - John 1:1 reads, “In the beginning, the Word already existed. He was with God, and He was God.” God, who created the universe, can also create new life in each person. He is the source of all life and the source of our spiritual renewal.

-Fourth of July  – Romans 7:4 reads, “So this is the point: The law no longer holds you in its power, because you died to its power when you died with Christ on the cross.

And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead. As a result, you can produce good fruit, that is, good deeds for God.”  If we surrender our lives to God, we can experience His transforming power. He will provide us with the help we need to break free from the slavery of our old habits and be ruled by the peace of the Holy Spirit. 

-Halloween  - 1 Corinthians 10:31 reads, “Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, you must do all for the glory of God.” If our actions are governed by our love for God and for those around us, we are on the right path.

-Christmas Day  – Proverbs 12:25 reads, “Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.” When people feel troubled or burdened, they should know that God and the people around them are there for support. It’s amazing what a few encouraging and inspirational bible verses can do to lift our spirits.

Make it a habit to spend a few minutes each day reading inspirational bible verses. Making this a part of your daily routine can produce life-changing results.

The website listed in the Resource Box below will produce the bible verse associated with any particular birthday.
