CSIGY's Secrets to Overcoming Holiday Blues - Creative, Sensitive, Introverted Gifted People

In the northern hemisphere, December brings darkness, and with it the blues and for some, depression too. As the loss of light progresses, veils of separation may also thin, connecting us more easily to our inner depths. Old issues we have dealt with can resurface, sometimes with an intensity that belies the work we have already done with them. Typical CSIGY (Creative, Sensitive, Introverted, Gifted) issues such as inferiority, perfectionism, and belonging… Continue

Late September blues

A few quotes first, that I'm liking these days:

Gifted boys without deficits need a faster paced, higher-level educational program that allows them to move ahead when they have mastered concepts. This program needs to be available before they assert their independence too strongly and before too much cumulative damage has been done in programs that are underchallenging for them.

Barbara Gilman (Academic Advocacy for Gifted Children)

I have, in the words of Amy Lee, made up my mind. I am going to break up with El Disgusto, and no preps near or far can stop me! And this, my friends, is so.

Man, I've been having really bad luck with dudes lately... The last four have been complete knockoffs. (Well, I've only HAD four, but let us ignore that minor detail for the present) Maybe it's something in the air. Probably. It may be like, yaknoe, I-hate-you-you-love-me-yes-no-oh-baby-we're-going-out kinda thing. Or perhaps that I…

Lost in the Museum: Buried Treasures and the Stories They Tell By Nancy Moses

This book has two sides. One is really a discussion about museum spending -- is it more important to spend it on collection acquision & preservation OR to spend it on museum facilities & programs that will attract visitors?

The other side of the book is visits with curators in a range of museums, asking the curators to tell about a little known object in their collection. These museums are not necessarily large or hugely attended.

The objects and the stories behind… Continue

Six Good Innings: How One Small Town Became a Little League Giant By Mark Kreidler

The author follows a Little League all-star team through the course of the season as they try to make Williamsport. There's lots of pressure on the team as their town has had much success and the all-star team is returning after a good run the year before. Along the way, we learn what part fate plays in the team success. Injuries and growth spurts (or not) can make or break a team. Groups that gel one year may not gel the next.

Does bringing up Williamsport too early jinx your… Continue

Immoveable Feast: A Paris Christmas By John Baxter

This is the story of an American man who married into a French family and has assumed the responsibility for cooking the family Christmas meal. Along the way, we hear about the search for the ingredients for the meal this year, stories of the various family characters, and the importance of this one meal in the family home each year.

This is an interesting outsider-insider view of real French life.

Behind the Grand Ole Opry Curtain: Tales of Romance and Tragedy By Robert K. Oermann & The Grand Ole Opry

This is a collection of stories about country music singers. Some chapters are about a single singer. Other chapters have a theme and use stories from a variety of singers to illustrate the theme.

There's a little too much emphasis when talking about a particular singer on the chronology of top songs. During those parts, it definitely helps if you know the songs and can hear them as you read.

The people profiled range from old timers who were there at the beginning to… Continue

OGTOC - Membership & Benefits

OGTOC - Our Gifted Online Conferences is growing.
People in gifted circles know about OGTOC - Our Gifted Online Conferences/webinars.
It is great to be able to have focused exchanges with others who have your same interests in giftedness Please share with others and invite them to join NING OGTOC
HISTORY:
Originally, OGTOC was a text conferencing resource for listmembers to access national and international guest experts on a defined topic often with pre-conference reading to prepare for an indepth and fast paced conference. AS requested by listmembers, members wanted to keep connected 24/7 rather than only during online conferences. Therefore I created the OGTOC on the NING network. It has certainly grown and takes more time to administer as opposed to the prior format - only open during a conference. Obviously list members didn't have access to all the additional "cool" features - your own webpage, private cloaked email, chat, forums, photos, video, widgets the new status line on your own webpage. the ability to send that specific status update to FB or Twitter, plus NewsShare tab. etc By joining, members can help each other no matter what role we have in helping gifted children and being a gifted adult.
Enjoy being a listmember of OGTOC.
If you have little time to spend on the 24/7 network website, follow OGTOC on twitter for brief 140 digit messages.
More makes a party, please enjoy OGTOC with all the features and opportunities available.
