Life is not about kissing a**, it’s about kicking a**!

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth

Emerson once said, ‘to be great is to be Misunderstood.’

Psychology is still a new science and we are learning something new about it every day. The hardest part for someone with a physiological problem is that no two deficiencies are exactly alike. Its not like the flu or chickenpox, and for the majority of them, there is no cure…only treatment.  And now there is comfort.

 I watched the Aviator last night and since I got to the half way point of the movie I goggled Howard Hughes. The man was a super human genius whose mind was too brilliant for his head to hold. They said he was the most difficult man to work with and an obsession for perfection. Because psychology was so new, he (even being a billionaire) went untreated. Here is a list of other great minds.

Why I chose to write about this:

 I love astrology and I stare out to the stars more than anyone I know. When I look out at the stars, I only see the ones that shine the brightest.  I work with children who have been labeled and think they won’t amount to anything past who they are this moment. But one day, they will shine brighter than any other star around them and you’ll look at them the way I’ve always seen them: like the brightest star in the universe.


And that's how Cynarra...C's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
