#Lovingkindness: @TiaTorres_ Wears her #SocialResponsibility & Creates #Awareness via #PositiveDisruption #pitbulls

My children, my personal goals, the community projects I strive to bring up to speed and the students I work with fill my mind and heart. Unless I am writing or driving, sitting on my derriere is something I am not a big fan of. It is hard for me to sit still and watch meaningless 'entertainment' on television. I don’t own a TV on purpose. Yet, every once in a while there IS something good on TV. i don't know how the Lords of Television manage, but they actually got something worthwhile on the airwaves. Recently, I managed to get the gist of what appears to be a show with a great purpose, Pitbulls and Parolees on Animal Planet’s network.

‘Short story long,’ it is about a woman who has taken it upon herself to rehabilitate pit bulls with pit bulls. That is to say, actual dogs who have been maltreated, neglected or abused with ex-convicts looking for a second opportunity to empower themselves. Tia Torres leads the pack as a master dog trainer with a ‘heartset’ and mindset of social responsibility for man and beast. Her show flies an idea of ‘positive disruption’ in the world of criminal justice far beyond the clink and clank of a jail house.

Mrs. Torres may not seem saintly or daintly to the eye, in fact, she appears tough as a diamond in the rough. As a dog trainer to angry dogs and post-off convicts she has to walk a special line of being both hard and soft internally and externally in order to consistently recreate the successful outcomes she is known for. Call her a misfit as do the many in the community where she operates out of, but she is single-handedly on the front line of a silent, invisible battle to repair torn fabric. It is messy on the front lines sometimes. The mightiest warriors come to the battle early and leave late. This changes a person. Some say it changes one for the worse. Too many ‘tours’ back to the battle scrambles their perception is one line commonly released. That it makes you ‘too tough’ to keep going back out there.

"Not many are willing to give a second chance to these parolees," says Torres, "But I have. And now the 'bad boys' of society meet the so-called 'bad boys' of the canine community, and boom! Just like that -- they create magic together. They bring out a side of each other that's sweet, warm and unbelievably touching.”

These are the one’s with the mightiest hearts.

These are the silent heroes and heroines.

Seeking no credit.

The job is credit itself.

The smiles and resting heart of those served

Righting wrongs

Not just ‘holding the line’

but pushing the line

forward onward and upward

Mountain peak past higher mountain peak

I take my black hat off to Mrs. Tia Torres and the valiant men and dogs under her governorship of lovingkindess. She is an example of lovingkindness, holding its stance, fearing not, better than gold and silver. Mrs. Torres has Epic Commitment to empowering her community and is #HotterThanFireForOthers.

The Gaslighting of our Constitutional Understanding & The Original Purpose of the U.S. Government

John Adams “I have found by Experience, that in this Age of the World that Man has an awful Lot, who “dares to love his Country and be poor.” Liberty and virtue! When! oh When will your Enemies cease to exist or to persecute! Our Country will be envied, our Liberty will be envied, our Virtues will be envied. Deep and subtle systems of Corruption hard to prove, impossible to detect, will be practised to sap and undermine Us and the few who penetrate them will be called suspicious, envious, restless turbulent ambitious—will be hated unpopular and unhappy. But a succession of these Men must be preserved, for these are the salt of the Earth. Without these the World would be worse than it is.” Letter To Abigail Adams, from John Adams, Paris, April 16, 1783 Few generations, said George Washington and John Adams, are fortunate to produce brilliant minds and hearts that are selfless. How shall we fare in our present? What is the path of national political unanimity that ...

Being a Maverick Thinker with Your #ExecutiveFunction Skills

Once we understand what our executive function skills are, we move to streamlining how well we use them, how they show up/ don't show up in our life. As we move through our understanding of how to better manage our ideas, feelings and actions, can their be soft and hard forces which are orchestrated with the focus of instilling in us..how to think...how to act... how to respond? Or is 'man' so free in mind, so independent, and so ahead of these forces that he is not affected, not thwarted in his goals, and not redirected easily? If we are to polish and tone these executive function skills so that we can harness the ability of our mind (a tool) to facilitate successful outcomes for ourselves, should we not start by bringing a critical eye to why we think the way we think? Is this not metacognition, or how we use our thought process to approach the world? Using systems theory, any system that is accepted into a larger system invariably begins to affect tha...

Graciousness Through Christ Jesus Who Is Written In Our Hearts

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.” The Epistle To The Hebrews Chapter 13:8–10 Having Faith, hope in what is not seen; yet, through the Word of God, ‘faith’ having greater meaning, hope through the Word and the gracious power of the Spirit of the Word, Truth & Righteousness, brings one; that is to say, translates one, from the kingdom of spiritual darkness: a life, replete with an attitude, perspective, reasoning, and quality of life that is intrinsically a life of scarcity, vanity, gain & advantage, strife, and selfishness, into THE kingdom of God; the kingdom of Light; an abounding reality overflowing with God, and the fruit of his Spirit: joy, peace, faith, gentleness, temperan...
