It is truly amazing as you travel thru life all the wonderful, and interesting people you meet!  Many just acquaintances, others become part of your successes and failures, some capture your heart forever.

Just yesterday on Facebook I saw Rick Furbush DTM ( Distinguished Toastmaster) was leaving the hospital, 
after a successful operation.

I think what if you never got to say THANK YOU?

Rick and Kathy Furbush were leaders in our Districts 47 & 48 for years, they always gave my Youth Leadership Program  ( Youth Speaking to America ) YSTA; space at District Conferences and TLI training programs.
Yes, THANKS there is so much reward in teaching children.

Please find more about these programs here at. Http://napkinsroosters.blogspot.com.

I owe the birth of a new life to Toastmasters, Tampa Toastmasters 1810 & St. Petersburg Toastmasters 2284. Speakeasy Toastmasters and Seminole Toastmasters. You-all touched my life!

To Sanford Sabel DTM for introducing me to the Great American Teach-in. 2003. It was my first YLP at Alonso High School that spawned the birth of YSTA. THANK YOU, Sanford.

Toastmasters, Leaders like John Morse and Joan Noble, Jane strong, Terry Okus, Jeff Thomas, Emmet Clary, Vicki Wyne, Bob Turel,  Mark &  Jill Witecki, Rick Rhodes, Beatriz Schneikart, Denise Ford, Daryel Hamel,
 Donna Geeratisoonton. Jeanette Sweeny, and Ron Rice.
 Jim Martin, Herschel Abrams, from Speakeasy Toastmasters allowed me to continue the YLP at Madeira Beach Middle School in 2007.  The program was 8-10 weeks, with a speech contest/graduation at the end.  Our first contest winner and possibly best speaker ever was Chloe 12 years old.


Then I was contacted by Cheryl Rice, the teacher at Pasadena Fundamental Elementary to start at the program in her 5th grade gifted class. Yes, and for the next 5 years, we taught YLP Spring and Fall. She was great as she tolerated my quirkiness? Along with some out of school programs, there were 18 in all.
The summer of 2015, we presented The Battle of The Champions, with, Mark Gai, District 84 Champion, Michael Williams, District 47 Champion and our youth champion Steven.
Steven, Michael, York


The time with Seminole Toastmasters; THANK YOU all!

Is learning social skills difficult, and does it take a long time? What are the most appropriate steps to learn to communicate? Does critical thinking have a role in social communication?

Question from Quora Interesting question, I am not sure critical thinking is essential in the role of an excellent social communicator? Let's turn that around and agree to be an extraordinary social communicator, you should be good at public speaking. Interestingly some I believe are born with that talent, or learn excellent social communication from a mentor, parent or possibly a nanny a very young age. My recommendation is to search out a Toastmasters club, Toastmasters International -Home ( Toastmasters International -Home ) is found in around 140 countries. Find a club that meets weekly, to improve public speaking and social communication skills, you need commitment and practice as often as possible. Create a FREE listing at www.weebewclub.com

David against Goliath!

History always tells a story; this story not unlike the tale of David and Goliath is the story of how Goliath has control! PLDT/Smart in the Naga City area of the Philippines as well in simple terms is the saddest excuse for an internet company. This personal war is a service I pay for! Each time I take my time to go to either PLDT or Smart at the SM mall , I am promised my lack of signal will be attended too; but this never happens! Now nine times I have in person complained, spending over 15  hours of my time, for nothing! Personally, I came to Naga City, to marry the beautiful Rowena, and I did see video thi blog. Second on my list to teach English, spelling, sentence structure and public speaking to children. This I have done. Third I am trying to create a public speaking school; for adults?  In these blogs, you may read about it all. But! The because of the lack of any constant flow of quality internet, my goals are severely quashed, like a giant sitting on me! When yo
