Christmas Bells are Ringing!

The Fernandina Beach News Leader interviews Dawn Grant on her nearly twentieth consecutive year of volunteering.

Joy to the Children is a nonprofit organization that has reached out across Nassau County Florida and brought Christmas to economically disadvantaged children.
FBNL: How long have you been volunteering with Joy to the Children?

Dawn Grant: Since it"s origination. myself and several others co-founded JOY 19 years ago in 1995.

FBNL: Why did you decide to become involved with Joy to the Children?

Dawn Grant: I was a Children"s Case Manager at Nassau County Mental Health Center (now Starting Point) when Mike Smith came to us looking to identify children which could use support. Mike Smith and several of his friends, who called themselves "The Orphans" because they were empty-nesters, widowed, or divorced, would celebrate the holidays together. In 1995 they decided that rather than spending money on each other at Christmas time, they would pool together their resources and help some children in need. I immediately joined the cause and was the person who identify the children who would be our guests at the party. We met regularly at our homes and started the adventure of becoming a non-profit 501c3. We wanted to offer a party specifically on Christmas Day to children who would wake up Christmas morning to a "normal" day, a day that would be like all the others due to their economic disadvantage. Local restaurants donated food for the party, and the children got to see Santa who brought them gifts of clothes and toys.

The Mental Skills of Successful Athletes

Interesting view on successful athletes:

This article is taken from the Ohio Center for Sports Psychology.  Written by Jack  J. Lesky, PHD

You don’t have to be a professional athlete or an Olympic champion to be a successful athlete. Nor do you have to have a room full of trophies, win a state championship, or make the front page of the sports section. Successful athletes that I’ve worked with include an eleven year-old figure skater who has not yet won a competition, a high school golfer with a zero handicap, a middle-aged runner whose goal is to complete her first marathon, a weight lifter who holds several world records, and an Olympic medalist.

Living the Virtues Series: Humility in Life

Humilty in Life
      Do you associate humility as a strong virtue in your life experiences? How does it come out in your perceptions? When you experience humility in life, you recognize that on a certain level, what you really know isn"t all that much. Life is so full of lessons. I think this quote by George Arliss really sums it up skillfully: “Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.” At a certain point in your life, if you want to reach a higher state of awareness, you will concede to humility because you understand the wisdom behind it"s lessons.

Clay Shooting: Game On?

Game On?

So Nationals is over.  You"ve given it your best.  You cleaned your guns and put everything away until the 2015 season, right?  If, for one second, you can look back and objectify your performance, what would you find?  Maybe you"re disappointed with your overall FITASC score.  Maybe you realized that you should"ve just stayed with one gun.  Or perhaps, somewhere along the stations, your mental game got side-swiped.  Did you doubt your break points? Were there expectations based on previous performance? A streak of misses and you wanted to throw in the towel? Maybe you"re doing really well, then, trying too hard when it all falls apart......sound familiar?

Living the Virtues Series: Humility with Others

Humility with Others
         Humility, by definition, is a modest regard for oneself. It is, in essence, a condition of humbleness. Humility with others is seeing eye-to-eye on many levels. It is knowing that we are tied to each other, in genetic make-up and awareness. This clear perspective that we are all one, is a view that not many people give into. Humility with others is putting one"s desires aside and being unselfish. This virtue is so difficult to encapsulate because there is a notion of entitlement in today"s world. It is seen in children and adults. This momentum of “Well, I deserve it,” is killing humility. Why do you think you deserve it?

Living the Virtues Series: Humilty with Self

Humility with Self
     At the conscious level of your mind there are thoughts. Some thoughts are fleeting, some turn into daydreams. Creating an awareness of those thought patterns can help you discern the things that you can change in your life to make it more positive and peaceful. Living the Virtues Series is a blog series that I started earlier this year. Each month, I take a look at a different virtue; how to implement it into your life. I absolutely believe you can attain positive results from using the daily affirmations. The thoughts that are repeated through your conscious mind stick to the subconscious therefore creating new neural pathways and patterns. Humility is the virtue that I have assigned for the month of November. This week, I am writing about humility as it applies to yourself.
