#TransformationTuesday

When I hear the word 'transformation' I usually think of it in the positive but there can be negative transformations. For example, like the following...

Human to Vampire

Human to Werewolf

Human to Hulk (or Calm to Rage)

Okay, I understand those examples are 1) unrealistic and 2) impossible BUT they prove the point I'm trying to make. Not all transformations are positive or healthy. And a lot of times the unhealthy changes we go through happen without us even realizing it. Some of them are extreme - like the above examples - others are subtle, so much so until one day you realize you are the hulk (filled with rage). So for today's #TransformationTuesday get real!

Get real and get honest with yourself. Take a deep look - have you undergone an unhealthy transformation recently, perhaps without realizing it? If so what step can you take today to reverse it move toward a healthy place again?

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education. Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school.

However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term. We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well. I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here . Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
