This book documents the significant contributions
of African American women who have contributed to the
specializations within the profession and to administration
of programs in higher education and extension, among others.
Many of these women have been pacesetters in serving not
only academic programs, especially in Historically Black
Colleges and Universities, but also African American
families and communities.

Qualities of Living:
A Platform for Progress - Author Barbara S. McFall
offers an approach for
defining
and measuring quality of
living for the purpose of expanding the focus on quality
of living as
the desired
outcome of practice. This monograph
describes a matrix that includes physical, mental,
and emotional
well-being and dimensions of intellectual, organizational,
social, material, natural, and
financial
satisfactions.
This approach could position Family and Consumer Sciences/Human
Sciences at
the center
of key societal issues involving
quality of living, creating value among interested
stakeholders.
An
annual measure of quality of living developed from this
understanding would reliably
identify emerging
and met needs,
establishing control of the quality-of-living agenda. More

A Message for the
New Year - Thriving
in a World of Change
There is not an industry or profession that is not swamped with change.
People come and go.
Regulations, standards, and new software
can over-whelm every business and organization. There is
competition and ...... the stress is enormous.
How about in your world?
Constant change both thrills and threatens us. We love the new opportunities,
but too often we end
up
running as fast as we can just to
stay even. New competitors, new tools and new skills challenge
us
every week. Change is the constant in our world.
Here’s the thing: We want to grow and develop! We want new tools,
new adventures and new
resources. Most of the time, we welcome
change with open arms. But, sometimes it’s just too much.
We’ve become infatuated with anything “new” whether it enriches
our lives or not.
Sometimes the “old” is good enough. Sometimes the familiar is more
comfortable and actually more
effective. I have a friend
who uses an old-fashioned slide-rule partly for the nostalgia,
but also
because
it’s faster than doing calculations on
his computer. Sometimes, the old is good.
Here are three suggestions for thriving on change:
1. Maintain lots of “personal bandwidth.”
That means taking superb care of yourself! People who
are
happy,
healthy, and rested simply do better than people who are
tired, hungry, stressed, or
worried.
Practice extreme self-care.
Maintain your personal bandwidth.
2.
Celebrate the Big Picture. Know what’s going on and understand the context of your world.
Remember,
some people lead, other’s follow, and some just don’t have
a clue. Be a leader! And
that
means seeing the big picture,
knowing where your world is going, and being out in front.
3.
Invest in Tools. Knowledge and skills matter! The more you know about your industry
and what’s
happening (and who’s leading), the more options
you have. Remember, “leaders are readers.”
And I
love the
quote from Buckminster Fuller: “You can’t learn less.”
Our world is infatuated with anything “new” or “improved,” and that’s
not going to change. What you
can control is your response
to change. Master it! Learn skills for evaluating change.
Learn to
“respond”
rather than merely “reacting.” Use change
and growth and transformation to your
advantage rather
than
merely trying to hang on and endure! In 2006, make change
(and growth!)
your friend. Use it to
your advantage.
Thrive in our world of Change!!!
