Word for the Day: Sunday, June 30, 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness. And usually, forgiveness is welcome when it comes. (The other side is less common, unless we're welcoming the wrong people...)
Weekly Theme, Week of 6/30 - 7/06/2013
The Theme for this Week is Welcome. And being greeted cordially, when approaching an unknown location can be quite welcome. (This one's pretty simple. Let's see how it fits with the Daily Words).

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 29, 2013
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity. Are you part of a Partnership? (If you're married, I believe the answer would be "Yes"). Is the Partnership authentic? (An example of a non-authentic marriage is if, say, the man marries, while still married to another woman).
In general, be authentic to yourself. Thank you!

Word for the Day: Friday, June 28, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation. In a partnership, the members could be from different countries, and speak different languages. This makes an interpreter a possible job that is needed. Separate from this, if the partnership is a business that sells via the Internet, people that know these other languages could be needed. So learn other languages, and you could get a good job.

Word for the Day: Thursday, June 27, 2013
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization. Members of partnerships tend to socialize with each other (and you probably don't want to know too much about the exceptions). But widen your scope, whether this is a business partnership, or a marital one. Making outside friends is always helpful.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 26, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. "You get what you concentrate on". (I've heard that, or close to it many times). Coupling this to our Theme, Partnerships work best if the partners concentrate on the well being of each other. In addition, it helps if they concentrate on excelling in any products and/or services for their outside environment.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 25, 2013
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. And partnerships make a difference, depending on how acceptable they are. In addition, it makes a difference how well the partners get along with each other.
Monday, June 24, 2013
Word for the Day: Monday, June 24, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. Partnerships (our Theme) work better when individual partners are generous with each other. But the Partnership itself needs to be generous with the world at large. But today's Word stands by itself also, because acts of generosity (random or not) help the World go around.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 23, 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing. And yes, sharing with your partners sounds like a good idea. But I see another angle to this: The project that the partnership is based on needs to share its fruits with the outside world. It works both ways.
Weekly Theme: Week of June 23-29, 2013
The Theme for this Week is Partnership. What does it mean to be a partner. Putting "define partnership" into Google included "An association of two or more people...". OK -- Associations can be small, but it did say "...two or more...". Let's let this develop over this coming week.

Words for the Day: Saturday, June 22, 2013
The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective. These are important for me, and also, my Community Responsibility. As the "big picture view", and "executive summary", these are important for learning. In other words, the forest that can then contain the trees.
Friday, June 21, 2013
Word for the Day: Friday, June 21, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection. Unlike prior Words this week, this is an individual action, sort of like an extended review. In life, however, we all perform the act of being mirrors for each other, which could be seen as a type of mentoring.
Thursday, June 20, 2013
Word for the Day: Thursday, June 20, 2013
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study. And imagine how much easier it is, when you are studying something, if you are able to ask questions? That's where guidance and mentoring come in.
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 19, 2013
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption. In science fiction, there is mention of taking a pill before going to sleep, and then having a speaker in your pillow give lectures, while you "sleep". Also, when learning alternative languages, "immersion training" means that the language being learned is the only one spoken. These language classes may even include an extended visit to a country, where the intended language is spoken.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 18, 2013
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review. There are many types of reviews. For example, you can review your shopping list, before leaving a grocery store. (Did you find the item? Was it too expensive? etc). On the other end of the scale, you can perform a life review, either during a life crisis, or when you die (which can certainly be considered a crisis!) And having a mentor for review can be quite helpful. (Even for the shopping list where, for example, you can call your significant other, to see if you've missed any items).

Word for the Day: Monday, June 17, 2013
The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation. Since this is tied to education (our Themes), it reminds me of my High School Chemistry class, where its teacher himself gave me (as well as any other students who asked) individual guidance, regarding experiments and tests.
Sunday, June 16, 2013
Word for the Day: Sunday, June 16, 2013
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition. Can you recognize those who teach you, through your life? In other words, know your mentors.
Weekly Themes, Week of June 16 - 22, 2013
The Themes for this Week are Guidance and Mentor. Looking at the meanings, Guidance is what you are learning, and the Mentor is who is teaching you. Not bad!
Saturday, June 15, 2013
Word for the Day: Saturday, June 15, 2013
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve. Members of families make individual resolutions (and not necessarily only at the New Year). However, there is a topic called "Family Resolutions", where the family acts as a unit, making plans for what they wish to accomplish.
Friday, June 14, 2013
Word for the Day: Friday, June 14, 2013
The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage. In my opinion, it takes courage to effectively run a family. And I equally state this for the Mother and Father. But even more, it can take courage to be a child in a family also. Think about that!
