During this week’s conference call with my dissertation chair , she called me
conscientious .
I not only accepted this ~ to ♥heart♥ and absolutely at face value ~ as the best compliment from her (when we were discussing the running and re-running of my statistics for my research results ) but also am ensuring that I live up to this standard .
When my cohort members and I were admitted into our doctoral program , conscientiousness * happened to be one of the personality traits for which we tested and that we studied in our leadership theories literature. It comes from the (1b) Big Five psychometric assessment that uses the “OCEAN ” acronym:
O penness (or O riginality)
*C onscientiousness (or C onsolidation)
E xtroverion ~ I’ve also consistently tested high for this in the (2) Myers-Briggs (as an ENFJ for E xtraversion • In tuition • F eeling • J udging) both when I took it as a psych minor for my undergrad and again in doc school
A greeableness (or A ccommodation)
N euroticism (or Emotional In stability) ~ the reverse of this attribute as leaders and doc students is ideal to deal
According to the (1a) instrument provided by my doctoral degree program , someone who is conscientious is “achievement”-oriented and “self-disciplined” ~ so this implies that conscientiousness involves intentions (definitely something for which I strive ).
Currently, my conscientiousness has stuck with me through school ~ as both a scholar and an educator !
This past week, I taught my students about literary terms , so I tied them into ♪music♫ and pop culture:
Asyndeton in ♫George Strait ‘s ♪The Chair♪
VIDEO
Irony in ♫Alanis Morissette ‘s ♪Ironic♪
VIDEO
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication in Jeremy Lin ‘s How to Fit in the NBA
VIDEO
Personification plus Alliteration and Assonance in Funny Face that featured Audrey Hepburn !
If it (Quality magazine) won’t speak to me, it won’t speak to them.

Think pink * Red is dead * Blue is through * Green ‘s obscene * Brown’s too boo
Now I know that my advisor wasn’t trying to flatter me, but her acknowledgment meant encouragement … of the ♥heart .
I challenge you fellow servants and leaders to consider which personality traits that you have in order to enhance your strengths and improve from your weaknesses!

Addendum
After I helped lead my †Church† in prayer at Vigil Mass, Fr. Bob , our Pastor , greeted me as “Soon-to-be Dr. Dispo ” ~ to which I replied, “GOD-willing ,” and “to glorify GOD .”
Happy Belated Birthday to our Fr. Kumar , our Parochial Vicar!

What is your calling in life?
We all have a purpose, and our greatest sense of purpose must come from a higher power.
In my case, as a †Catholic, I’ve sought †GOD’s will for me.
I’ve always considered two options:
having a spouse in the Sacrament of ♥Marriage♥
or ♥marrying♥ †GOD† in the religious life (I visited with a sister of the religious order from my †Catholic† university a few years ago)
However, I still can be a single lay person who ♥loves♥ and serves †GOD† with all of my ♥heart♥ and soul .
Consider The Nun’s Story , starring Audrey Hepburn and based on a book.
This film featured a woman’s challenges between upholding her vows and satisfying her own wants, such as
silent time vs. speaking up
serving the Church vs. serving the community where she worked (Congo medical care)
Filmed on site in Congo in the 20th Century
We’re all human and have our moments. It’s just part of life here on Earth and a matter of maintaining what’s most important to us.

Since my Bestie ‘s Big Bro told her that she looks like Audrey Hepburn , I, like our HIMYM Bro Barney , 👔 had to make my 🎬movie mission👊🏽
🏁 Challenge Accepted! ☝🏼
Therefore, I had to introduce Evie to her celebrity lookalike😎 who I’ve idolized since I, as a speech pro,
admired her while watching My Fair Lady👒 in my very first junior high speech class
appreciated Tiffany & Co. more, thanks to Breakfast at Tiffany’s💍
Both Hepburn’s timeless⏰ beauty💁🏻 and the Tiffany💎 blue hue are inspirations behind the interior decor at my 💇🏻hairdresser’s salon
Yesterday, we hit Hastings to find a couple of her classics💽
Funny Face🗼 for $ale
Sabrina💃🏻 for rent
Funny Face on Chanel-inspired red quiltstitch👛 & Sabrina on Tiffany blue
For a tid-bit on Hepburn’s early life, enjoy her adventures from WWII childhood to performing🎫 her way to 🌠stardom!
