Damsel in Distress: Not the Way to Empower Our Girls

Apparently, I need to feed my Twitter (@DomCulpepper) posts onto this page, my beloved blog :)  Yeah, that's it! That's my new assignment. Besides, time is of the essence, and we must work smarter not harder!

Meanwhile, my latest Twitter post is about the need to teach our young girls to protect themselves against incompetence and dependency on the help of men:

If Mattel hired ME to write this book about Barbie, she definitely would not have been depicted as "incompetent," and ESPECIALLY not "dependent on men." It's 2014; any move that doesn't include self-reliance is a bad move and should not be encouraged among our youth.   CLICK HERE to read more. Then you'll agree; they should have hired ME to write.

See you, soon! Thanks for stopping by!!!

In Case You're Wondering: Glad I Served!

CLICK HERE on "GLAD I SERVED!"
Hello Everyone and thanks again for stopping by to see me!  I just wanted to share a quick point with you.  If you're wondering why you served in our United States Military or if you should serve, let me be the first to say, "DO IT!"  I won't kid you, it will be tough and you will endure situations that you never thought you could handle.  But the reward is worth it!

Not only will you receive dynamic training that sets you a cut above your civilian peers, but you'll feel a sense of pride, once you're done.  Personally, my time in service has made me eligible for benefits that have made an overwhelming difference in my life.  As a result, I received the best prenatal healthcare, which facilitated the full-term birth of my beloved son.

It's just he and I now, but organizations like the American Legion, have helped tremendously with our transition.  I urge you to become a member. Get involved! Besides, you never know when or if you may need assistance.

Thanks for stopping by! 

We Survived!

Considering that a woman dies every ten minutes, due to pregnancy-related complications, I am grateful to God for my only child.  It was a long, lonesome road, especially considering that no one could believe the extent of our complications... Well, we survived, and we've made great strides in our progress.

I'll continue to blog, but I've also got to get back to work. Meanwhile, we appreciate your contributions, big and small, as we transition into our new life together!!! CLICK HERE TO SHARE =)

Thanks for stopping by and WE hope to see you, soon!

Watch out, ladies! Bupivicaine, otherwise known as Marcaine, is a medication commonly used to help ease the pain of childbirth. Well, you might want to call around and possibly make a reservation because according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) there's a shortage on bupivicaine. My advice? Talk to your healthcare provider about alternatives, quick! Either way, you'll be so overwhelmed with joy, once your little one arrives. TRUST ME ;-)  God Bless and take good care!

~Thanks for stopping by!!!~

FORWARD MOVEMENT!

I am back!  Stronger than before, and boy (some days more so than others)!  I'm amazed at the distance folk have gone just to get me under their control!  Maybe I really am awesome, huh? NEWSFLASH: I'll get thru this and keep moving forward.

In other news, I'm a new mom, so naturally I will be writing about children's health and insurance coverage.  Who knows, maybe even a sneak peak at my bundle of joy :)

Meanwhile, medication errors are still on the rise, and I need to develop a medical billing and coding tool to help identify and hopefully prevent medication errors in the future; if I can help at least one facility, that will make my day!  I haven't presented in a while, so this will be interesting ;-)

Back to the pharmacy I go? Or will it be the medical records department? Or a doctor's office? Or the classroom?

Thanks for stopping by to see me :)

CHICKEN!

Are you CHICKEN?!  Well, even the best of the best will experience a snag, from time to time.  This is true, even for Purina, a well-known and reputable supplier of pet food.  Unfortunately, over a dozen lots of poultry feed have been recalled in the Orgeon and Washington areas, according to a Press Release from the Food & Drug Administration on April 16, 2014. 

The reason cited for the recall is inadequate levels of vitamins and trace minerals, which may be responsible for health problems, including death in poultry. 

Well, I guess I better shop for more beef!
Here's what the FDA has to say. CLICK HERE for lot numbers and other details.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see you again, soon =)

Doing my part to stay ENCOURAGED!

Thanks for stopping by to see me!!! I'll be back, soon.  So, stay out of trouble until I get back =)

Be Blessed.

Boss of YOUR birth control!

How absurd! Another motivating factor for entrepreneurship engagement!!!  Run your own business; be your own boss!

It's the case of Hobby Lobby v Sebelius.

My sentiment is this: If corporate CEO's get to deny employees access to birth control, they better damn well have a solid maternity, family leave, and child care package in place! Otherwise, this ordeal could get very, very messy.

CLICK HERE for more details on the Hobby Lobby Case.

Thanks again for stopping by to see me! Let's do this again, soon ;-)

Learn Your Strength

There comes a time in life, when you do things you thought you would never be able to do. Not only did you achieve it, but YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!  As for me,  I wasn't built to break!

This song reminds me to never give up, and neither should you, my friends.

Parenting: What's the matter?

The handbook on how to raise a child.  If there ever was such a thing... Yet, we all know that girls and boys are generally taught different gender roles.

In my book "Tell-tale signs of a train wreck," I expound on some of these roles, and the consequences of failure to fulfill them.

My focus has since shifted to the upbringing of my own child.  My goal is to teach him the importance of developing and maintaining strong family ties, while encouraging his individuality, independence, and perseverance; attributes that I possess myself, which makes it easier for me to lead by example.

One day, he will meet a young lady and fall in love.  I want him to be equipped with the self-esteem and other tools necessary to nurture and provide for his own family, so as to ensure his manly competence; that's my job, as a parent.  It's a matter of fact, a matter of life, and a matter maturation.

Mommy loves you, Gabe!
