Yes We Can Newspaper Celebrates and Says Goodbye To A Great Year 2013

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We Invite All To Become Partners With Yes We Can Newspaper In Spreading Good News In A World Where There Is Enough Bad News.

Don't Let Black Friday Lead to the January Blues

By Sheri Stuart Riverside, Calif. – Americans can be generous – to a fault ­ and never is that character trait more evident than during the holiday shopping season. At this time of year, millions of people put their financial common sense on the shelf, tucking it away into a winter hibernation of sorts, thereby making it much easier to take part in the once per year phenomenon known as Black Friday, the mother of all shopping days. The problem with this practice is that financial reality is just around the corner, never failing to emerge in January as a mailbox full of credit card statements.

With avid shoppers counting down the days until the Black Friday bonanza, Springboard Nonprofit Consumer Credit Management, Inc. offers the following 10 reminders of the ramifications of overspending: 1. Adding new debt on top of old is never a good idea, yet many people will

enter the 2013 holiday shopping season still paying for 2012 purchases. When debt is carried over from month­to­ month, cardholders lose the benefit of a grace period, the time during which a person can pay the monthly credit card bill before interest begins to accrue.

When debt is revolved, new purchases begin to incur interest immediately.2.

Paying interest on the interest occurs when debt is carried over from month­ to­month. When a debt is not paid in full by the due date, interest is added to the balance. This amount adds up over time, creating an impediment to becoming debt free.3. Late fees and over­limit fees can cause balances to grow to an unmanageable level. Issuers may charge a late fee of $25 with the first late payment, and with 45 days’ notice, increase the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) to a higher interest rate on new purchases. However, consumers who make late payments more than once in a six­month period may be assessed a

higher late fee with the penalty APR also applied to existing balances.

4. An inability to pay as agreed could result in negative notations on a person’s credit report, with late or missed payments remaining on the report for seven years. Further, the all­important credit scores are based on information in the credit report. Along with other factors and depending on the extent of the delinquency, the drop could be by as much as 100 points.

5. Less credit will be available on existing cards.

Credit cards have a spending limit beyond which the user cannot charge without penalty. Since no one knows what tomorrow holds, over­ utilizing open lines of credit can leave a person without a credit safety net for future purchases, unplanned expenses or emergencies.

6. Diminished access to new or additional credit can be the result of irresponsibly handling existing credit.

Issuers are less likely to extend more

Yes We Can Newspaper presents Welcomes Something Funny Comic The comedic cartoon works of southern California artist , Cynthia Wierschen will be the latest addition to the Yes We Can community newspaper. Adding another dimension to her artistic skills, Cynthia's Funny Something cartoons are sure to be a hit with our readers! When not sculpting, painting or working on her cartoons, Cynthia keeps busy with her Online art gallery at: www.theartofcynthia.com where visitors get to see the variety of her art work.

Cynthia's many years of experience include independent art shows and having her designs on a line of casual wear.

She also teaches art to children and often appearing as guest artist on a cable talk show. College and private studies combined with a natural God given and blessed talent, have given her phenomenal skills. If asked whether she has reached her goals, Cynthia is quick to say no. “I have a whole lot of ideas still”. “My goal for Funny Something, she says, is to make people laugh, giggle or smile. If I can do that, then yes!, I've reached one of my goals”.

credit to a person who cannot manage current debt obligations. If credit is granted, it will likely be at a higher interest rate.

7. Beyond credit cards, decisions involving Insurance, renting an apartment, establishing utility or cell phone services, or finding employment can be affected by a person’s ability to manage debt. 8.Servicing a large amount of debt can diminish the amount of money available for other necessary components of financial stability such as saving or investing. 9.Bills not paid on time can have very serious consequences including collection efforts, lawsuits, judgments and wage garnishment. Each of these can have a long­term negative impact on a person’s daily life as well as future borrowing power.10.Overspending can force a person into making desperate choices such as resorting to pay­day loans, pawn shops, bankruptcy or debt settlement.

“Now is the time for financial awareness,

not after the damage is done,” said Melinda Opperman, Springboard’s senior vice president. “Consumers need to ask themselves if taking on unmanageable debt this holiday season is worth putting their financial well­being at risk.”

For a quick and easy snapshot of their current financial picture, Springboard urges consumers to utilize the free online financial self­assessment tool at www.MyHolidayCheckUp.org. Doing so in advance of holiday shopping positions a person to make wise spending decisions, a gift that will last long beyond the holidays.

By Ethel Martin­Miller Well, here we are at the end of 2013 and now anticipating the new year 2014. If you feel like I do, you’re probably saying to yourself, “My God, where did the time go?” Or maybe you said, “Time is flying; I can’t believe 2014 is almost here!” And yes, Christmas will be here in a few days.

We all know right after feasting and giving thanks for our families and friends on Thanksgiving Day we are ready for Christmas. For many people the day after Thanksgiving is the day that there is a rush out to the big department stores hoping to grab Christmas gifts at crazy discount prices. I know for some it is traditional as well as fun hoping to get their hands on those special gifts for the children, family, and friends.

This is also the season that each of us has the opportunity to reach out and help others in their time of need by sharing a meal or giving them a gift of love. It is a fact that the holiday season is the one when many people are depressed and feeling alone with nobody to be with them. Possibly, we can help them get through the holidays.

The best time of this holiday season for many of us is the joy of giving thanks to God for His son, Jesus, and to celebrate the month of December for His birth. Then we turn right around and look forward to bringing in the new year with gratitude that we all made it through one more year. And

that is something to celebrate!

I like to celebrate this month’s Special Edition which is a two month combined edition of Yes We Can Newspaper, December 2013 and January 2014 issues.

This is our Special Edition and our way of saying good­bye to 2013 which was a wonderful year. Additionally, it is our way of saying thank you to all of our advertisers and readers for giving Yes We Can Newspaper support by writing us and sharing your appreciation for a good news positive newspaper. We thank all of the businesses that have partnered with us through advertisement. Many thanks go out to our contributing writers and all who assist us in getting Yes We Can Newspaper into the community.

We look forward to bringing in the new year, 2014, with more good news, new sections, new contributing writers, plus more.

Last but not least, we continue to reach out to our readers in the Inland Empire to share with us your articles that would be of interest to the community, opinions, testimonies, and ideals.

Overcoming the Distraction Addiction

By Kevin Eikenberry There are lots of things people become addicted to. I believe one of the most prevalent isn’t ever mentioned in the same breath with the addictions you thought of as you were reading the first sentence. Under­ recognized, unspoken and without a support group, perhaps the biggest addiction that business people have is distractions. For example, from my article, Why Smartphones Make Us Dumb ­ the average mobile phone user looks at their phone 9 times per waking hour (yep that is the average).

This is just one example; we all know distractions are all around us, and they are deadly to our focus, productivity and results.

So what can we do to deny the allure of the distraction, regain our focus, and maximize our productivity? Good questions. Here are some answers for you. Stop multi­tasking. You can’t do it

anyway. What we actually do is rapidly switch from one task to the next, and with each switch our productivity drops. The distraction of one item (the email ding, or text beep) causes us to shift and destroys our momentum and productivity. Researchers say the best you can do when switch tasking is about 70% effectiveness on each task.

One thing at a time.

Schedule email. I travel a lot and spend large chunks of time with Clients or delivering training. During these times I couldn’t check email if I wanted to. On these days, when I process email in batches, at planned times, I spend far less time on email. It works for me and those I have coached – it isn’t surprising it is a way to manage distractions. Schedule time for email and put those times in your calendar. Then process email then (and only) then.

Turn down the ringers, alerts and notifications. You turn down your

ringer when you don’t want to be disturbed, right? That should be most of the time because you are doing something important like talking to someone, participating in a meeting or working on a project. Turn off the email alert, silence all the notifications on your phone, and you will be immediately reducing the possibility of distraction. Make meetings no phone and email zones. Everyone I talk to about meetings feels they have too many of them and they take too long.

And most also ask how to get people to focus on the meeting and not on their email. If we all stay focused on the topic we will finish sooner, and you will have time to do your email in a batch. And if you are telling people you process email in a batch, they won’t be expecting your immediate reply anyway. Shut off the internet. If you really have trouble with some of the advice so far, but want to control your addiction, go cold turkey. Operate your

PC or tablet without the internet on or put your phone in airplane mode (or turn it off). You aren’t the President of the United States – unless the building is on fire, you can seclude yourself from the distractions for a period of time.

Pick up the phone. If you haven’t noticed, email isn’t very good at a conversation. Pick up the phone and solve the problem, clarify the issue, or make a decision. It will eliminate some portion of your emails and therefore reduce the number of distractions overall. Work in 60­90 minute intervals. That works best for us from a physiological psychological perspective, so listen to your body and your brain. Take a quick walk. Stand up. Drink a glass of water, or even check your email, and then get back to the distraction­free zone of your work.

This is a very short list, but it is enough for now. If you take these to heart and take action on them, your

Two Keys to Leadership Confidence

By Kevin Eikenberry Everyone is about to move from the reception to the big business dinner. You are walking with some friends and colleagues, following the crowd as you pass the restrooms. Just ahead of you is one of the executives walking as confidently as they normally do, because they can’t see what you see – that they have a too­long­not­to­be­noticed trail of toilet paper stuck to their left shoe. Some people are laughing and pointing. Some are feeling sorry for the unknowing executive and some are trying to decide if they should tell them or not. It is likely they remain quiet – as that is the easier and lower risk course of action.

We’ve all been there. And it isn’t just about toilet paper, is it? There are things that we don’t know, that, because we don’t know we can’t change or address. There are things in our leadership lives that are much like the toilet paper – unknown to us – yet seen and known by others. And as embarrassing as the toilet paper is, there are far more important and uncomfortable things you might not know about .

And we don’t know for the same reasons people didn’t tell the executive at the reception – some honestly caring, but not knowing what to say, after all, you are the boss; some taking a bit of glee in the humor of the situation; and some who remain quiet because the assume you will “figure it out” or that you must already know about it . . .

But as long as you don’t know, you can’t do anything about it, can you? And the problem is bigger and riskier as a leader because, whether we like it or not, everyone is always watching us, noticing us, and our strengths and weaknesses

have a huge impact our ability to help them succeed. So when we lack awareness and the confidence we can build from it we are hurt but so is our team. People don’t usually talk about this at business dinners or planning meetings – but for a variety of reasons your lack of awareness of how you operate could be the biggest barrier to your confidence and success.

It is easier to build your confidence and avoid the embarrassment of the unknown, once you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses, from the perspective of others. After all, as a leader, at some level their perception matters more than reality and if you don’t know what their perceptions are, and if there isn’t a safe way for them to tell you, you might be toting some toilet paper on your shoe for a long time. So what are the two keys I promised in the title? What are the two things that will help you become more aware so you can avoid the uncertainty of the unknown (and previously unknowable)?

I’m a big believer in both of these and there are lots of reasons people will talk about why they are helpful. Increasing your confidence isn’t usually on the list of benefits people discuss, but it might be the most important of all. Because we all know that when we are more confident at anything we perform better. That is true at anything from baking a cake, to giving a presentation, to shooting pool, to being a leader. You might not have a glaring, far­worse­than­toilet­paper­on­ your­shoe flaw or weakness, and yet until you ask, until you have a way to get some feedback, you will never know.

addiction will start to wither. It will be hard, after all, you are addicted. The pain of change will be replaced with greater success and satisfaction and much less stress. All of these things are true and will help us wean ourselves from the distractions; and as a leader the message is doubly clear: we must do this for ourselves, and expect it of our teams. This one single change might be the biggest thing you could do to raise productivity in your organization this year.

Set an expectation and an example.

Have a conversation with your team.

Call it a support group if you want, but as a leader you have a responsibility for the production of your team.

Helping them manage distractions can be a big key to that objective.

THE W O R D

You Can't Handle The Truth

By Pastor John Clark Two different Gospels for two different people one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles. My objective is to prove that Jews and Gentiles have always been and will always be separated. From the call of Abram Genesis 12:1­ 3 – v1Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: v2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: v3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. To be the father of both jews and gentiles.

Come with me to Genesis 16:13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? meaning Abram natural descendants (Jews only) further prove that we are talking about Israel. Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

This remnant was prophecy in Isaiah 1:9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. This means that a very small number of Jews accepted Paul's message of salvation by faith plus nothing.

Now Go to Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

Meaning these are spiritual descendants who include Jew and Gentile.

Galatians 3:27­28; v27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. v28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. The stars of Genesis 15:5 represent the heavenly body of Christ (Gentiles and the remnant of Jews).

The sand of the sea represents the (Jews only) and the earthly kingdom of David as we will see later on.

Now on to the two gospels Galatians 2:7 states ­ But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter. First the gospel of the circumcision that was committed to Peter and the other 11 apostles Matthew 10:5­6 states – v5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. v6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you can see Jesus gives a strict command not to go to the Gentiles.

Jesus himself made it plain in Matthew 15:24b I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. To further prove the two gospels Romans 15:8 states ­ Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. Hebrews 3:1 states ­ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.

More to prove that Jew and Gentile will be separated as stated in Acts 10:28a ­ And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation.

The gospel of the uncircumcised (Gentile), from the call of Abraham Genesis 12 to the conversion of Saul (Paul) God was dealing with Jews only. After the conversion of Saul who was the minster for the Gentiles. As stated in Ephesians 3:1­5­ v1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles. v2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you­ward. v3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words. v4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ). v5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. Those apostles were the ones that worked with Paul Barnabas, Silas, Apollos, Timothy, and Titus.

None of the twelve apostles understood Paul's Gospel which is according to 1 Corinthians 15:1­ 4 v1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand. v2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. v3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. v4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.

1Peter 1:10­11­ v10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you. v11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1Peter1:12b which things the angels desire to look into.

Which was a mystery hidden from all other apostles until the conversion of Paul including the twelve apostles of Jesus. Luke 18:31­34 ­ v31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. v32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on. v33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. v34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

This mystery was revealed to Paul only for the Gentiles as stated in Romans 11:13 ­ For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office.

But his gospel: which is death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is for everyone.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Gentile). Lastly according to Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

I Love My Wife

by Sixtus Onyeanusi

IT'S GOD THAT HAS KEPT US SO FAR!

I LOVE MY WIFE. I LOVE MY HUSBAND. Once young lovers and young couples We've been together for long We've seen good times, been through troubles Yet still united by the Lord It's been agape love in us; That working of grace in our hearts Which Comes from d'Presence of Jesus That has kept us strong in this path!

When we hear God's word together We see ways to help our marriage Then we kneel as one in prayer For the grace to improve and change!

I love my wife like my body She is my friend, mother, my own With her I share secret burden Her words speak courage to my soul I love my husband, he's my head Through him I see more of the Lord My counselor, father and friend He loves and builds me with the word I love my wife, tender and meek Though may not be as strong as me Yet I count it not that she's weak She has strength, beauty untold within Do we see faults and offenses?

Do we see flaws and weaknesses? We do! But no room for grudges We choose the path of forgiveness!

Fruit of True Repentance English/Spanish

By Lourdes Yanez The call of John the Baptist was that of repentance, a change of direction followed by a fruitful life, filled with the fruits that would be the indication that one has had an experience with salvation and with the Savior. The Lord Jesus clarified this by saying, By its fruits you shall know the tree.

Nowaday we find many false imitations and the church does not escape this pious fraud.

People with a pious appearance but who would deny the effectiveness of it. True repentance is followed by an absolute change in direction, people willing to crucify their sinful desires to unite themselves to the true vine who is Jesus Christ and produce the fruits of the Spirit. The fig tree was cursed not because it had no fruit, but because it had the appearance of having them; leaves and fruit come together. The fig tree has leaves but their was no fruit found in it.

We can learn the religious mechanic; carry a bible under our arm, sing, learn how to clap, dance, speak a Christian evangelical language and quote the Bible, and despite of this be lacking the genuine fruits of repentance.

In conclusion, repentance is a change of life a total and absolute denial of ourselves with willingness to take the cross, die to our sinful desires and passions; willing to be engrafted in the true vine and produce the fruit of the Spirit.

This is the logical consequence of a personal and intimate relationship with the giver of life, Jesus Christ.

By their fruits they will be known, not by the things we do or do not do. It is the fruit of Love that reveals who we truly are. The one that loves has known God because God is Love.

SPANISH ­Frutos de verdadero arrepentimiento El llamado de Juan el Bautista era de arrepentimiento, un cambio de dirección seguido de un vida fructífera, llena de los frutos que serían la indicación de que se ha tenido una experiencia con la salvación y con el Salvador. El Sefior Jesús lo clarifico diciendo que por sus frutos se conoce el árbol.

Hoy día se encuentran muchas falsas imitaciones y la iglesia no escapa de este fraude piadoso.

Gentes con apariencia de piedad pero negarán la eficacia de ella.

El verdadero arrepentimiento va seguido de un cambio absoluto de dirección,

personas dispuestas a cruxificar sus deseos pecaminosos parsa unirse a la vid verdadera que es Cristo Jesús y producir los frutos del Espíritu. La higuera fue maldecida no por no tener fruto sino por aparentar tenerlos, hojas y fruto vienen juntos. La higuera tenía hojas pero no se halló fruto en ella.

Podemos aprender la mecánica religiosa: Portar una biblia bajo el brazo, cantar y aprender a palmear a danzar y hablar el lenguaje evangélico Cristiano y citar la biblia; pero aún así estar carentes de los verdaderos frutos de arrepentimiento.

Resumiendo: Arrepentimiento es un cambio de vida, una negación total y absoluta de nosotros mismos y estar dispuestos a tomar la cruz, morir a nuestros deseos y pasiones pecaminosas y estar dispuestos a ser injertados a la vid verdadera y producir el fruto de del Espiritu consecuencia lógica de una relación íntima y personal con el dador de la vida Cristo Jesús.

Por sus frutos se conocerán, no por las cosas que hacemos o dejamos de hacer.

Es el fruto del amor que revela quienes somos realmente.

El que ama a conocido a Dios porque Dios es

Helpful Tips For Everyday Living

10 Questions You Better Ask To Yourself As A Preparation To Self­Improvement

By Godfrey Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I frequently see myself as more or less contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed. Still I aspire for something deeper and more significant. So we're all pelted with difficultnesses. Candidly it shouldn't even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we should be. Aspirations as kids will have to continue to live within us, altho it would be short­lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can't instruct an old dog new tricks or can they?

1. What do I really want? The question of the ages. Some things you want to do with your life and so small time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you're effective in can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to recognise that it is worth it. 2.

Ought to I really adjust?

Today's generation has taken another level of redefining 'self', or leastwise that's what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your life­style? Whether or not history

has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Whether or not to see Whether or not partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them in what manner to really dance than break their bones in break­dancing.

3. What's the bright side in all of this? With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round! 4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?

There's always the easy way and the right way about deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a talent to see yourself as a person distinguishable, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and stimulating questions to be experimented.

5. Have I done enough for myself?

Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in each appearance can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you'll be competent to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing. 6. Am

I happy at where I am today? It's an unfair question so let it be an answer!

You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you for a limitless time. The same goes with each day life!7. Am I likeable to the contrary sex?

So maybe I don't have an answer to that, but that doesn't mean I can't undertake it, altho. Whether you shape­up, adjust the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards persons, you better always do not forget it will always be for your own gain.

8. How much could I have? I expect in this instance there is no such things on having things overmuch or too small, but it's more on how severely you really need it. I'd like to have a large total of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it? 9. What motivates me? What motivates you?

It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are some things that can make everyone happy, but to select one of the can be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving of your best­loved food in a buffet and that's it. Just undertake it piece by piece. 10. What Really Makes You Tick? So? What really makes you tick?

You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that

attaining something that can seem about the physical or philosophical very unmanageable is already giving adjust you have to undergo, but it's up before you even begin that something that you really want. traveling. At all times do not forget, that self­improvement is not just

Etiquette Excursion By Mona

By Mona Johnson More and more of us are noticing that we are having contact and seeing more individuals with disabilities. Because individuals are living longer there are more persons with disabilities and a greater need for them to be active and make

every effort, as we all do, to be as independent as possible. Living brings with it changes. Some of these changes are more than we reckoned to experience. Remember that but for the grace of God, it could be you or your loved one.

The first rule to remember is that individuals with disabilities are just that, an individual with

a disability. They are not crippled, a blind person, or a deaf person they are a whole person with a disability. If the individual is sightless, this does not mean that you have to talk louder to them. For some reason having, contact with an individual with a disability c auses many people to talk louder. If the individual is deaf and has a sign language interpreter, there is no need to raise your voice. If they share with you that, they read lips it is imperative that you look at them when you are speaking. If the individual says, they have difficulty hearing ask them if you need to talk louder or if you should communicate with them in writing if, there is not an interpreter available.

If the individual has, a guide dog remember the dog is on duty and this is not a time to play with or distract the animal.

If someone with impaired vision is going to be staying with you for a while ask him or her how you can best assist him or her. So often, we just forget to ask. Many people with impaired vision use the face of a clock as a map to identify the location of furniture and doors. Too often, we make the staggering assumption that because a person has a disability they are less intelligent. This is a terrible misconception. Even if the person has suffered a stroke and has difficulty forming words this does not always mean that they are having difficulty understanding what you are

saying.

Talking to someone who has suffered a cerebral injury can be time consuming. If you are in communication with someone, who has suffered a stroke be prepared to be patient. They often become more inpatient with themselves than you will become with them. Be courteous and sincere if you are in conversation with them.

Don’t try to rush their response nor should you, in any way, be impatient with their slow or thoughtful responses. If you must leave the conversation, be courteous and excuse yourself, rather than just walking away without a word of apology.

Next week I will address Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and some disabilities that we are less likely to notice. Join me as I answer your questions, sharing ideas, exploring good manners and lost etiquette in these social, political and economically challenging times.
