Doing the happy dance

let me start out by stating that I am a mental health professional. I work with the people that no one else wants anything to do with.if you saw the movie the soloist then you have a little idea of of what my job entails. I consider that I have the best job in the world. I get to have relationships with people that don't trust anyone and especially have been burned by the system. These are my people and often they smelled really bad because they have nowhere to shower. Does this sound like someone you would invite into your home? Does this out like someone that you would like to hang out with? Do you have the compassion or the wherewithal to be able to deal with these folks day after day, week after week, mointh after month and year after year. my people in the homeless and I am the guy on the street. Don't get me wrong, I do have a home to go to every night but during the day and sometimes into the night I hang out with the street people. They tell me any respect me because they know what I'm about I'm all about helping in any way that I possibly can. this is why when I come to work I can do"The happy dance" I work for one of those government agencies that are struggling right now to provide services for people who cannot afford to pay for services. Unfortunately, there are a lot of my co-workers that are going to be out of a job. I believe, that I am very fortunate to not only have a job but one that I love doing.
since I do work for a government agency needed supplemental income. You see, a while back there were too many bills at the end of my paycheck so I have needed to supplement that shrinking paycheck. I plan to continue doing what I do for a long time to come but I think I need to invite to to join me in one of my favorite activities. Like most Americans I love to shop Then I love to get a good deal. I have discovered a web site where I can do both. Follow me there if you choose. I would love to see there and support you in any way that I can

Being a better person

happy Easter to all my friends in cyberspace. I was thinking about this today so I thought that I would write a little story. You see, Hi one of those people whose life depends upon my application of spiritual principles to my everyday affairs. Of course, it wasn't always that way but for the last 20 1/2 years I have been striving to see people the way that I would like to be treated. This has the added side effect of attracting good people into my life. I am a teacher as we all are and I am a student as we all are In what I laughingly referred to us by grown-up job I deal with a segment of our population that no one else wants to deal with. I work with the homeless mentally ill. They are chronic can severely mentally ill and some of them are our career homeless. Often, they smell really really bad but that is a symptom of their mental illness. Very often they are using drugs to self-medicate which to get accurate diagnosis. My struggle is to get these folks into treatment and in order to do that I have to develop a relationship with these folks. They don't trust anyone but they trust me. I have worked hard to be the kind of person who is trustworthy and my people know this.
I got a call for my co-worker on Friday who asked me to find a lady who has a cancerous growth on her lip. I knew she was talking about so I found her and kind of forced her into getting on a bus to go to South County where there was a little reception awaiting her.and committee consisted of two mental health professionals and a police officer. You see this lady would not seek treatment for her cancer because of a mental disorder. This constitutes grave disability to two mental disorder. We were going to place for on an involuntary psychiatric hold in order for her to get treatment she needs to save her life. The lady is mentally disordered but she is not stupid. I believe that my folks have a sixth sense when someone is out to get them. my co-workers tried to locate her all day and all day she wrote the bus and never got off where they could see her. Pretty crafty or maybe it's at 6th sense. anyhow the bottom line is that she is still running around with that growth on her face and it is threatening her life. I pray that I find her because some people can take care of themselvesthen they need someone to care for them. In the words of Mother Theresa"we serve God's most distressing disguises."

It would be nice if we didn't need lawyers but we are more likely to get sued than we are to need a doctor :-(

Your tax dollars at work

JUST CHARGE THE FINE TO THE VICTIMS: The State of Florida sold personal
information from its drivers license data base to private marketing
companies, including each driving citizen's name, address, and Social
Security number. It made $108 million on the sales over a four-year
period -- the four years after such sales were made illegal by federal
law. When several Floridians sued, the state refused to admit
wrongdoing, but agreed to settle for $10.4 million, which will be
divided up this way: the drivers who sued, $3,000 each. Everyone else:
a $1 credit on their next car registration fee. The five law firms that
worked on the suit: $2.85 million. Federal law calls for a $2,500
penalty for each violation, which would have come to $39 billion. (St.
Petersburg Times) ...Which would penalize citizens even more. So how
about ten years in prison for every state official who went along with
the scheme?
our legal system as well as our judicial system leave a lot to be desired. If this scares you well it should. We seem to be it at the mercy of the system that is gone to determine to make us pay and pay. I'm working guy I pay taxes and I pay. if you find yourself in the same boat and you may want to follow the link to find a solution to your problem.

This one just goes to show that there is no accounting for what the criminal mind can accomplish. You would think that this poor shmock had to have been under the influence of some kind of mood or mind altering substances. But that's not necessarily so. One can only hope that he really is not that stupid and needs some kind of chemical to induce that stupidity. Unfortunately there is a section of our population whose stupidity knows no bounds. My favorite show is "worlds dumbest criminals." I think this one qualifies. What do you think?
I will continue to keep you informed on human weirdness to the best of my ability.

Inspirational Quotes

I still have cloudy days but today I know that it's ok. It's ok to now know what is going to happen tomorrow or even what the night will bring.I am truly blessed to know that I have the power of goodness on my side. Oooh wee. It's good to be alive and know that the struggle continues. As long as there is breath there is hope. Where there is hope light survives and after all human beings aren't we survivors?

No act of kindness

Tonight,I want to talk about the fact that no act of kindness ever goes unnoticed by the universe. I have learned that no matter who we are and no matter where we live we pay rent for the space that we occupy on this planet That rent is called service. service to our fellow man. The way that we live our lives in the way that we treat the people that cross our path will determine who we are and how we feel about ourselves.
integrity can be defined as the consistent practices spiritual principles even when we don't feel like.
How well we live by these principles is a major factor which contributes to the quality of our lives. Those people that are devoted to helping others are some of the happiest people on earth. I have been blessed to come in contact with numerous angels simply by practicing my job. What I laughingly referred to as my grown-up job is one that affords me the opportunity to be of service.
sometimes the people I serve our very distressing looking and smell really bad.
yesterday when I saw someone holding sign that said" help me." I was actually able to do something to make a difference in life of that person and her family By bringing joy to another human being I was able to bring massive amounts of joy and blessings into my own life. How cool is that???

Have you ever felt like you are in the depths of despair? Have you ever felt like you are in the dark and could find no way of? Have you ever experienced the dark night of your soul?
Most of us get to that point at one time or another. It's part of the story for anyone who has achieved any kind of significant success in their lives. We get to the bottom and then there's nowhere to go except up. Once we've gone through it we know that it's not the end of the world. We know that although it feels like it will never end to it and there is no hope we've been to thru this before and we have survived.
Here is an inspiration to all of us because here's a person who has overcome obstacles that most of us can't even imagine.
Thank you, Nick for showing us what is possible. You are truely an inspiration.

Justice for All?

ANTIBIOTIC: Steven Kurtz, a professor at the University at Buffalo, New
York, was arrested after emergency workers, called to aid his wife, saw
bacteria cultures in his house. Kurtz explained the bacteria were for
an art project to protest government food policies, but he was indicted
in federal court as "a bioterrorist," his lawyer says, adding the
charges were retaliation over Kurtz's criticism of the government. U.S.
District Judge Richard J. Arcara agreed: he ruled that the indictment
"is insufficient on its face" and dismissed the charges. Total time
from discovery of the cultures to dismissal of charges: three years, 11
months. (Buffalo News) ...We call that "justice at the speed of
bureaucracy".

Great Christmas Adventure

I simply wish to express my gratitude for the miracle of simply being alive. This holiday season and gift and when we appreciate the gifts we cannot help being filled with Joy.This Christmas Eve I got to participate in a Toy Run for Children's Hospital which usually generates enough toys for the hospital to have enough to donate to the children for the entire year. Being able to give of ourselves and our abundance is a blessing beyond words. I am the Guy on the Street and yet I don't have to live like that any more. I get to wake up with the roof over my head and a bed to sleep in. This is truly a blessing because I know what it's like to sleep in a bush and freeze my ass off. Thank you God for the gift of being able to spend Holidays with good friends and family.

Belonging

it seems to me that everyone has a yearning to belong to someone or something. We go to great lengths to not feel that we are alienated or that we are alone. Unfortunately, one of mankind's greatest ills is that we often feel alone in a crowd. A great many of us feel that we are not deserving of loving relationships and often seek love in the wrong places.it is sad state of affairs when we feel that we need to donate cash to someone that holds a sign that says, "help me because I can't help myself." If I give away a couple of dollars it will help me to feel like I am a better human being especially during the Christmas season.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for giving for the sake of giving simply because there are lots of folks that just don't get that we are all in this thing together. this thing called life and it is good or as bad as we make our mindset to be. I love to teach and one of the things I teach is that no matter where we're starting out from we can reach for the stars. If we're starting out from way far down than the only way to go is up. I think it's kinda corny that we have to wait for Christmas to be in the spirit of giving. It's a sad state of affairs.
I just want you know that we can make a difference, that we can change the world if only one person at a time. Each time we offer a silent blessing to anther human being we are changing the world for the better. We help that person to know that they are not alone..

The Guy on the Street

I truely am the guy on the street. Dont get me wrong I own my own home. I work with the homeless. Those people that you see on the street holding the sign saying "Help me, cause I cant help myself."
Its probably not a good idea to give those folks money. Let me explain. Where I live, the homeless are not going hungry. Trust me they have numerous places they can go to eat, and people, like myself, that can give them access to shelter, clothing and mental health needs and substance abuse treatment.
I understand that giving them a dollar or two fills the need for compationate service but that money would be better spent donating it to one of the charitable organizations that serve this population.
Unfortuntatly a goodly number of these people are mentally ill and that is why they are on the street. They cant speak up for themselves, so they need people such as myself. I reach out to those that can not help themselves. When I engage people that dont trust anyone, I encounter the difficult task of creating a bond with people that live in fear, and dont trust that we will not hurt them.
If you are one of those good hearted souls, stay tuned for some education on how to make a postive difference. We all have the need for compationate service.
In loving service,
Jeff
