Hope everybody had a great weekend, here is something that’s been in my heart. Understanding the Difference: Reputation vs. Character. Reputation is what others think of you; it's the perception people have based on your actions, words, and associations. It's the image you project to the world, often influenced by external opinions and social media. Character, on the other hand, is who you truly are at your core. It's your set of moral principles, values, and how you behave when no one is watching. Character reflects your integrity, honesty, and consistency over time. While reputation can be fleeting and subject to the whims of others, character is enduring. It's the foundation of trust and respect. In the long run, a strong character will sustain you through challenges and ensure genuine, lasting success. Focus on building character, and your reputation will naturally follow. At Bexar County Department of Military and Veterans Services we focus on our Charater values knowing that a good reputation will follow. #Leadership #Integrity #PersonalGrowth #CharacterMatters Bexar County Department of Military and Veterans Services Kendra Cook Gilbert Lauriano Calvin Henry MBA, MIOP Keith W.

To ALL #organizations, #government entities, #businesses in this country that will and do interact with #Indigenous people here... We #value your contributions. We understand your innate (sometimes not so much) need to right the wrongs our people have been assailed with now you are "hearing" more #truth. Even though it has come to light because of the work initially undertaken by our own #knowledge #warriors, and now is also being championed by those who believe us....we request that you refrain from the use of permission terminology in communicating with us, about us, or in supportive dialogue. ie: *allow, allowing, consent (that you provide), blessed, endorse, etc. ie: *Allowing the Indigenous voice to be heard. *We endorse this partnership to work towards reconciliation.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at Grover Cleveland Elementary School’s Career Day along with a DEA Agent, Army veteran, author, educator, entrepreneur, life coach, and more. I had a blast and met amazing people doing it. I think some of the students were inspired 😄 #njfamilylawyer #DivorcedByLaDonna #SeekingSettlementByFacingTheFight #AggressiveAdvocacyCompassionateService #njfamilylaw #njdivorcelawyer #njdivorceattorney #njmatrimoniallaw #bestnjlawyer #bestdivorcelawyernearme #FitFamilyLawyer

YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"! Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.

Further to my last, this history of WWII is a useful guide to what America must now accomplish.
