The Urban Farmer by Curtis Stone







My husband and I will be attempting to do this on a lower scale level, basically just at our house. Why buy your own produce when you can grow it! Onward to a great summer and an even better lifestyle change!

W/E#5-Communication

I think communication is important in very single task that we do, at work AND at home. Having good communication skills are very important. It helps you get your point across to others and it helps eliminate over paying employees if everyone communicates. You need to be able to talk to others easily and you also need to be able to listen back when someone tries to communicate with you. Communication is key!

Social Media Lawsuit



A Facebook Post and The Workplace


The article I read this week is about two women who were expressing their feelings about the company they work for on a Facebook post. The post was made when both of the women were off and already at home but when they came back to work the next morning, they got in trouble. They each got a verbal warning about the incident and were told that if similar posts were made in the future, they would be fired. Should businesses be allowed to reprimand their employees of posts they make off the clock? That’s what started this whole lawsuit. Can a company actually get away with taking your right of “free speech” away? The case is still pending; however, it is going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I think the women shouldn’t get into any type of trouble for what they express on their social media site, every American has the right to free speech and that includes these two women.

WE#4-Teamwork

I feel as though teamwork helps make any job, easier. If you have a good group of coworkers,  the work load shouldn't be nearly as tough as it normally would be. Working together cuts time, energy, and even payroll. Teamwork is very critical in any business. A business that has all employees working together shows customers that the business cares, and customers want to see that for themselves. Teamwork makes businesses better, easier, and closer.

WE #3 -Respect

Respect goes a long way in life and in any type of work environment. The old saying goes "to gain respect, one must give respect" and its so true! If you want your boss to respect you, you have to show them that you are worth respecting. Show up on time, be polite, give feedback, and always treat others the way you want to be treated. I try to show respect every where I go, but sometimes, on bad days its a little hard, but as long as one tries, its shown. Showing respect makes others feel good, and it actually makes you feel like a decent human being.
