Direct Support Professionals, otherwise referred to as direct care workers, are the front-line employees in many human service organizations, healthcare institutions such as hospitals, and in nursing homes. Their impact is of highly significant and great value, yet their pay remains stagnant across the board; and the many organizations they work for are over-regulated. Direct Support professionals are multidisciplinary, they sustain our communities, participate in the implementation of the various social policies in place and they play a crucial role in our national welfare system. Without Direct Support Professionals hundreds of human service, mental health, social work and healthcare organizations will be irrelevant and useless. They need a much greater recognition and pay, support and respect. They take care of, supervise and assist human beings. They have people’s lives in their hands, so to speak.

A continuation of observations from the Coffee Shop. In this article we continue to experience aspects of humanity through the mass of commuters.

Coffee shops could be viewed as a microcosm of society. Sitting, watching, unseen yet fully in the open one can see and learn many things…

Members of an icebound Arctic expedition might have been able to walk to safety. Instead, they waited for rescuers who never came.

Most people live such restricted lives, never venturing out, never exploring what the world has to offer. Their problem is not that their present situation is necessarily bad, it is just not bad enough to force them out of their comfort zone. They are glued to where they are at for better or worse.

One of the most critical things for each of us to discover in life is something to be passionate about. Finding and pursuing passion impacts every area of our life, giving meaning to our existence. A life without passion is no life at all. It’s possibly the source of genius as well.

I grew up in the 1980’s and was a teenager in the 1990’s. Most of the kids of my generation were exposed to virile and resourceful representations of men. Take American mainstream media; we had movies like Terminator, where a fit male character did everything he could to protect those he loved, his family, his tribe.
