Interviews by a Clueless White Woman Summary:

Today, millions of individuals face obstacles that many of us cannot even begin to grasp. These are people who struggle because of their “otherness.” Perhaps they are people of color or members of the LGTBQ community. Or both. Maybe they have physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. Perhaps they practice a religion other than Christianity.

In Interviews by a Clueless White Woman, I share stories of individuals who have experienced and continue to experience turmoil. It is my hope that these stories can help increase understanding and unite us in our humanity.

Bringing Joy to the Workplace

An article in Forbes Magazine from January 20, 2014, entitled “8 Common Causes of Workplace Demotivation” states that most people can’t say they truly love their jobs.

    I always enjoy reading Amy Shankland’s column and this weeks, “Leftovers” brought back some fond memories.  First of all,  I remember looking at some papers that my oldest, Michael, brought home from the 3rd grade and saw on what looked like a sheet that he was asked, What are your favorites!  Under Your favorite food he had listed, Leftovers! How funny!(I say How funny because I’m old school and DO NOT like this LOL stuff).

     Another memory is that my wife and I both traveled throughout some of our marriage and when she wasn’t traveling I would always take her out for dinner after being gone most of the week.  She would always come home with a Styrofoam box of something and put it in the fridge! By the end of the weekend our fridge would be full of those ugly white boxes and although we would eat some of them, inevitably they would be thrown away.

     It’s so great to get read Amy’s column and get some levity away from the mundane political columns we see this time of the year.  Thank you, Amy!!

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care
