High D’s are all about the end result.  Bullet point emails and cutting straight to the chase are well appreciated by a high D.  Remember, though, when you are looking at the end result, ask yourself, “What is your goal?” and make sure it is in a positive space.  When a high D is stressed out, look for  a way to gain control - sometimes simply doing a “brain dump” and getting the thoughts out of your head and onto paper instead.  Make a list - get it all out.  Then start to prioritize and pick one thing. Don’t be the “jack of all trades, master of

This is the third in the "Be The Good, See the Good" Series.   We will dive in to how the uniqueness in each of us strengthens all of us, and learn how we can work in our strengths and recognize that in others.   “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  ~Marianne Williamson, A Return To

It’s a quotation, not a quote. “We must learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and imperfection.  If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot be fully open to our ability to love others, or to our potential to create.  Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and openhearted vision of people who embrace life.” - John Lennon “Whenever you point a finger at someone else, there are three others pointing back at you.”  - Eleanor Coleman (Aunt Arger) We can’t change everyone else, but we DO have the power to change ourselves.  A grocery day - four mamas go shopping (a story about personality styles) D Wiring - People who score high in the intensity of the “D” styles factor take a very active stance in dealing with problems and challenges. Not afraid of confrontation, Ds are d

"What we don’t need in the midst of our struggle is shame for being human."  -Brené Brown Don’t wait until you’re perfect to help another.  This is where we can connect and relate and realize that we’re human - and that’s a beautiful thing.  If you want to connect with another, meet them where they are at.  Don’t expect them to jump to your perspective just because that’s the way you see it.  When you take into account each child’s personality style, your ability to connect in a way that resonates with them is so much easier.  There are many variations of what "Namaste" really means, but the essence is "the peace within my soul recognizes the peace within yours." Wouldn’t it be nice if Americans greeted one another in such a meaningful way? When people understand their personality style and lean into
