Mirror Mirror on the Wall

By Teresa | December 3, 2010

The controversial, plastic, duck-lipped, attention-loving blonde star of the Hills, Heidi Montag, has some serious self image issues, right?  But let’s be fair…don’t all women?  I do….too many to count!   I don’t really know the psychology behind it but in my case, I’m thinking it has something to do with my childhood and not having…

Thanksgiving

By Teresa | November 19, 2010

Each day gives us special gifts that we can be thankful for. Enjoying the small things and not just waiting for the big achievements can enhance our wellbeing…basically, just making daily life sweeter! Like most of you; I’m thankful for God, love, family and my home but I do take some of these for granted.…

SPIRITual Moment

By Teresa | November 5, 2010

The Spirit Event Center in Bixby, Oklahoma has big problems! I was horrified tonight during Julio Iglesias’ concert. The Spirit Center has to be the worst venue I have ever stepped foot in and not just because it is ugly. The much-anticipated performance brought the Hispanic community together—which was cool– and although attendees started on…

Stories Matter

By shk2014v2 | October 29, 2010

On Wednesday, I had an opportunity to give a speech to an amazing group of women who are part of the Metro Tulsa Career Professional Women. I talked about stories. The stories we tell matter. The stories we listen to matter. Stories connect us in this confusing and often crazy game of life. In my…

Brewed Awakening

Attention advocates of coffee! We are adding a full blown coffee shop at Clary Sage College and Community Care College!  The project, led by Amanda Bringham, is scheduled to open early 2011.  Equipped with the best grinders, espresso machine and accessories, the tasty offering is creating a lot of buzz among the employees and students…

Ghost Story

By shk2014v2 | October 14, 2010

Do you believe in Ghosts? I didn’t think I did, but things change… I bought the building where Community Care College is located from Tulsa-based QuikTrip Corporation. However, the building was originally part of the Telex Corp. The publically traded Telex Corporation is no longer in business but was—at one point—one of Tulsa’s pride and…

Ritalin Not

I heard by more than one person last week that I’m “a little mean.” Therefore, I thought I’d soften my approach with an exciting new topic: Adult ADD/ADHD. 🙂 I was diagnosed with this many years ago (shock)…. I can explain it all; however. Personally, I think the label is over-used. Let’s check out the so-called symptoms: Short…

I’m really into fears, phobias and compulsive disorders. People suffer from so many and it makes me feel a little sad, but relieved. At one time I shared with you that I used to be a kleptomaniac. Well, I also HAD compulsive lying syndrome! Long story short…I was a poor kid and wanted other kids…

I'm OK, You're OK

Today, I was visiting with a friend of a friend who is from Boston. Let’s get specific…it’s my good friend (and Director of Career Services) Linda’s friend, Ernie. “Welcome to Oklahoma,” I say…as I always do when I greet a new visitor! “So…have you ever been to our fine state?” Nine times out of ten…

Acid Trip

By shk2014v2 | September 16, 2010

So….I took time off this week to get caught up on stuff that I’ve been putting off…dental appointment, blood work, homework, household chores, TJ Maxx shopping, personal paperwork, end of summer yard clean up, etc. To maximize this time, I decided to partake in a few personal “beauty” tasks as well! Got a pedicure, purchased…
