Advice / Anecdotes (like the Alliteration?) from Fall TV
Grey’s Anatomy revolves around Dr. Meredith Grey (center), here with her ½-sister from her late mom, Dr. Ellis Grey’s side, Dr. Margaret Pierce, a.k.a. “Maggie” (to her right/viewer’s left) & sister-in-law from her late husband, Dr. Derek Shepherd, a.k.a. “McDreamy‘s” side, Dr. Amelia Shepherd (to her left/viewer’s right) after they demolished a wall ~ as my doc friend–turned published author says, we “build out of bricks,” so here these 3 are, starting over from scratch. #HomeReno #DISPObustAFlow Rando Info: Doesn’t the actress who plays Maggie look like the Special K commercial chick in lumberjack (red and black) plaid on a bus? | Courtesy ABC
Grey’s Anatomy on Leadership
Be worthy of being believed in, of being looked up to.
~ Dr. Edwards to “the other” Dr. Shepherd* (Feb. 26, 2015)
You have to lead.
~ Dr. Harmon to “the other” Dr. Shepherd* (Feb. 26, 2015)
Being a leader isn’t about whether they’ll listen to you, it’s whether they believe in you.
~ former Chief Dr. Richard Webber to new Chief Dr. Miranda Bailey (Oct. 1, 2015)
I call this GA 360 because this is relevant to followers and leaders alike:
Confidence
“There’s a scientific study that shows that if you stand in superhero pose for just five minutes before a job interview or a big presentation or a really hard task, you will not only feel confident, but you will perform measurably better.
~ *Dr. Amelia Shepherd to Dr. Edwards on Grey’s (March 5, 2015)
From Big Bang Theory {next three examples}
Dr. Leonard: “I’m a little nervous” (about approaching George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch).
Dr. Sheldon Cooper: “Get over it. Confidence is key in these situations.”
Empathy
It’s an evolutionary advantage to be included in things.” [as I teach about affection being a basic interpersonal/social need]
~ Dr. Amy [played by real-life Ph.D. and the Blossom star from 2½ decades ago] about feeling left out to empathize with bf Sheldon
Alliteration and Assonance
You are the King Kong of Ping Pong. You are the Menace of Table Tennis … You said you played Badminton? More like Sadminton!
~ Dr. Howard to Dr. Raj
Progress
You know why you’re acting this way? You’re so close! I’ve been there … When you’re about to make a breakthrough. Keep going. Don’t stop.
~ Dr. Derek Shepherd to Dr. Caliet (wannabe mistress) on GA (March 26, 2015)
^– I most certainly must heed this as I approach my finish line! –^
Side chart note: Without McDreamy and McSteamy in the mix at Seattle Grace (now Grey-Sloan ~ bad-to-the-bone), it’s “Attending Poser” / *NEW* *HOT* Intern who I’ll chase [not really — just making time to rhyme as always all days]! #DISPObustAFlow

April Showers☔️ bring:
MORE May Showers! ⚡️
My dad grows beautiful blossoms🌸 in his 🌳garden. Now they’re in full 🌺bloom. This is great timing⏰ with my mom’s 🎈celebrations🎁 this month.
After Mother’s Day, Mami Aya asked Papa Jun not to give her anymore 🌹roses. She meant flowers in general, but since she wasn’t clear…
He gave her calla lillies for her birthday! 🌻
While my Nanay appreciated his always kind gestures, she passed along the bouquet💐 to someone more deserving …

Remember my student’s science fair project about ♫music♪ effect on plants?
Science Project Poster: an elementary eye candy version of the presentations that I teach and the research experiment that I’m conducting!
I still have his yellow hibiscus that went without ♪music♫ in the experiment.
Now that we’ve entered ♣spring♣, this hibiscus can soak in the ☼sunshine☼, bloom and blossom!
Today, we had a hail storm hit, but I didn’t have much notice to remove it …
Before … Will my hibiscus withhold this hail storm??
At least this fortunate flower’s still in tact in the aftermath of this April shower!
After … YES, indeed, she did survive without withering!!!

April showers bring May flowers!
Orchids from my Sissy! (Chips aren’t mine)
We were blessed with bountiful storms this past spring and beautiful blossoms are in full bloom! When I visited my sister over Memorial Day weekend, she was so sweet enough to surprise me with these orchids to celebrate that I’m returning to my teaching career.
Floral Friday: Yellow Orchids from my Sister for my teaching career!
The last time that I received orchids was when my speech students brought me a bouquet a couple of years ago on Earth Day, toward the end of the spring semester.
Flashback Friday: Purple Orchids from my Public Speaking students!
The following class day, my Interpersonal Communication class gifted me with more pretty plant life to add to my office ☼window☼ …
Annie enjoys the posies!
… and much to the pleasure of my Double A-Team! †GOD† truly has ♣blessed♣ us!
Asia takes a whiff of the floral fragrances!
The rewards that I reap from teaching include influencing my students positively.
Throwback Thursday: Annie (student, not my cat) presets me with these goodies!
My student, a fellow Filipina, gave me this gesture of gratitude that touched my ♥heart♥.
Flowers always brighten up this teacher‘s day!
Relationships are like plants; we nurture them to grow. ~ my mom
