The Protector / Securing Personality Type

The “Protector/Securing” personality type, or the ISFJ personality type, describes a person who is an Introvert (I), who perceives the world through Sensing (S), who uses how they are Feeling (F) about the people and circumstances in a situation to base a decision upon, and who views the world from the viewpoint of Judgement (J).

Do You Love Your Spouse or Their Salary?

The other day Wayne and I got to talking about marriage, money, and respect. We’ve both known several people who divorced their spouses once they started bringing home the bigger paycheck. Specifically, women who divorced their husbands because they earned more than he did. “It has to do with respect,” Wayne said when we were talking about a particular friend. “She never had much respect for him to begin with. So once she started earning more, she lost what little she’d had.” “That’s pathetic!” I said. “If I ever made more than you it wouldn’t change how I felt about … Continue reading →

Fathers of Famous Politicians and Presidents

Recently, I saw an interview on television with a presidential historian about United States Presidents and their absent fathers. The expert also looked at the current presidential nominees for the Democrats and the Republicans, their absent fathers and their need to please them. The discussion also included suggested reasons for their success. One of the reasons given for the success obtained by children of famous fathers is that their fathers were often absent from home and were very career-oriented parents. It was suggested that if a father is frequently gone from home because of his career, that the child will … Continue reading →

For Part One, check this out. Again, here’s Sheila, a working medical transcriptionist: What is the best part of being an MT?

Becoming a Yoga Teacher

Deciding to “do what I love” was one of the hardest things for me because I love doing so many things. It would nearly be dishonest to leave out the fact that choosing what I love as a career might also be difficult because it means less income for my family. I was blessed to have a support mechanism around me that encouraged me to pursue yoga as something I could share with other people, and yes, slowly make a life’s work. Many people wonder how one goes from being a yoga student to a yoga teacher. Hopefully, I can … Continue reading →

Workaholics & Marriage

These are not two words that seem to go synonymously together and when you are married to a workaholic, you may find that you were right – those two words do not go together. A spouse who is a workaholic is more likely to be neglectful of their loved ones as they seem to spend all of their time at work or working at home. The spouse and children of these workaholics may be understanding at first, but when dinner is missed five nights out of seven and school plays along with other events are overlooked – understanding may not … Continue reading →
