Old Math, New Math, Red Math, Blue Math!

Math Separates Society! TEACHERS and PARENTS, do I have your ATTENTION?

What am I talking about with New Math? Let me show you. I’m often asked:

What is this New Math? Isn't 2+2=4? Why are we changing math?

Well, my first response is,

"New Math isn't new at all. It's been around since the 1950's."

I usually get a confused and strange look. That’s when I go in for the kill with my second response!

"What is possible for our kids to achieve mathematically has not yet been experienced. Unless you are using smart teaching tools!"

I walked into his home on my first day. I had just left a career in adult rehab and entered the role of a direct service occupational therapist in a cyber school setting. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.   One of the first questions his mom asked me was, “How can my child read, but not be able to write?” 

Having no response, I answered with the typical, “I don’t know, but I will do my best to find out.” That answer took about six or seven years to answer.  I have continued to research dysgraphia and its impact on student's educational process. 

What if a student has ADHD? What about autism? How do obsessive-compulsive tendencies relate? Ready to hear the answers?

Life is busy and stressful and sometimes overwhelming, but it is also filled with beauty and joy, and love. We all know this, and most of us can navigate difficult times by holding onto beauty and hope. But sometimes the hardships start outnumbering the good times, and it’s hard to keep a positive attitude and perspective.

The difficulties may be major (a divorce, the loss of a job or loved one, a move), but they don’t have to be. Sometimes it’s the little things that we “should” be able to handle that keep piling on until we’re no longer able to cope. This may manifest in physical maladies (daily headaches or stomach aches, insomnia, panic attacks). Or the overwhelming might be more subtle, more hidden--feelings of loneliness, failure, hopelessness, even despair. Our tendency may be to push these feelings aside and try to muscle through. But if left unchecked this can lead to depression and even thoughts of suicide.

Such was the case with Aimee Fuhrman, author of Smudged Pages: Letting Go of the Lies and Letting God Write Your Story. “From the outside my life was idyllic,” Aimee says. “Nothing in my life spelled suicide, but that is exactly where I found myself several years ago. I had bought into the lies of the Enemy, and they were impacting my identity. I had this standard of perfection I was trying to live up to, but I couldn’t do it, so I was caught in a cycle of false failure and guilt.”

Aimee has since found healing, and her heart is to help other women shed the lies they are believing and find their true identity in Christ Jesus. She does this through her book and her ministry Smudged Pages, which also includes a workbook (The Smudged Pages Companion: A Guide to Letting Go of the Lies), an online course that can be taken with or without coaching, as well as speaking engagements and women’s retreats.

Did you spend countless hours writing, editing, and publishing your work?  Did you make sure everything was perfect so the message and story deep inside you could be shared with the world?

Did you dream of the impact your book would have?  The letters and emails you’d receive from people whose lives were changed by what you wrote only to be disappointed by minimal sales?  Did you question why you wrote the book if only a few people were going to read it?  If you weren’t going to be paid for your work?

Crystal came! We did it again. You failed. You picked up that glass again. You were only going to have one glass, but then it turned to three and finally the entire bottle.

You swear you are going to quit. But it holds you in its grasp. You vow, promise, hide it from yourself, and you make it a few weeks, and then, you fall again.

What if you could quit winning?

She was not able to be with us. But I shared her book to amplify her message. 

Have you been through trauma? Whether it’s domestic or intimate abuse, church hurt, or emotional pain following a serious health event, this combination book and workbook can help you. It provides five necessary steps to break patterns that may be holding you back from your God-given potential.

Join me tonight at 6:30 om MDT with Tammy to discover how you can turn your pain into purpose!

From Pain to Purpose plants seeds of hope and focuses on biblical truths around predestination, planting, preparation, pruning, and perennial growth.

Having overcome a traumatic health event and survived a vicious cycle of domestic violence and abuse, author Tammy Arlene understands that faith is the key to thriving in a life of abundance and joy. Through following God’s word, seeking wise counsel, and stepping out in faith, you can walk toward your purpose in life with confidence, strength, and peace. By partnering with God, you can move away from painful lessons of the past and begin to live a life filled with hope for the future.

With God, all things are possible. Break the pattern. Stop negative cycles. Bloom in your greatness!
