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

The 🎅holidays🎄 may be over, but The Best Man †Holiday† is the perfect 🎬movie🎥 for any season and reason!
Last weekend, our latest ❄️snow⛄️ series out of a countless many, I popped the 💽DVD📀 in because
- Watching snow from both my 🏠windows🏡 and on the 📺screen💻 was surreal
- I sought inspiration for ✒️writing💻 a prospective 📚biography📖
- I sought more inspiration for establishing a 🏤school🎓
- I sought inspiration for dressing in black and white for my student’s parents’ 💒wedding👰 where I’ll proclaim🎤 the 📕readings📘
Yet this is by far one of my fave flicks for

Nah, Kelvin … I’m gay, & I’m here to play*
I’m mostly into action films, but during this time of year with ♥LOVE♥ in the air for ♥Valentine’s♥ Day, I don’t mind checking out those chick flicks (the ♥lighthearted♥ ones ~ not those tear-jerkers)!
Bring on the ♥rom-com♥ …
Since Evie suggested for me to set aside one single day out of each month just for myself (aside from the hustle & bustle of school & work ~ notice that we didn’t mention †Church† because I never take a ☼day☼ off from †GOD† ~ and I admit that I still did homework), after MLK Day in January, this past Friday (after my stress-relieving massage ~ thanks to Lisa with her rolling pin technique and refreshments) was my February “me ☼day☼” before the ♥Sweetheart♥ Ball
… which included tapping into my collection of DVDs since I’ve been ♣spring♣-cleaning anyway with my Double A!
Main Movie of the Day: *Valentine’s Day ~ co-stars from my fave prime time show, Grey’s Anatomy (Patrick Dempsey * Eric Dane * Hector Elizondo), and star from the *must-see* movie of the moment, American Sniper (Bradley Cooper, who sat beside someone else in uniform, Julia Roberts) + Cooper, Dane, Emma Thompson & Jennifer Aniston each star in 2 of these films!
