Crisis Económica - Padre Alberto Linero Gomez

Por Jannet Walsh
en Español

Crisis Económica
Padre Alberto Linero Gomez
de Eudista, Colombia

Marzo 21, 2009
Blessed Trinity Catholic Church
Ocala, Florida
©2009 Jannet Walsh

By Jannet Walsh

About the video
Sorry, but the video interview is in Spanish of the Rev. Alberto Linero Gomez,of Bogata, Colombia. He is a Roman Catholic priest visiting Ocala, Florida for a special "healing congress" at Blessed Trinity Catholic Church, March 21-22, 2009. It turns out that he is a celebrity in homeland on radio and television, from the religious order of Eduista, founded in the 1600s in France. Everyone wanted to have one of his many books autographed, of course! (I did not hound him for this, but had opportunity to practice my Spanish skills to make the video.)

The main message for me in the video of Rev. Linero about the current economic crisis was a chance for opportunity.

"Across from crisis you will find opportunity." - Rev. Alberto Linero Gomez

Also, the current crisis is a like a test of your "personal metal"or character. The fire or furnace, he compared to the current crisis, and the metal, meaning you, will burn away the impurities and make you a better person. I personally hope this proves to be true as the heat in the furnace has been very hot, almost unbearable.

About the photo
The photo posted above the video was taken with the traditional "Hail Mary" method. It's a term used in journalism schools, really. The special method simply means you need a prayer to get the photograph. It is usually employed when you are in a crowd and have no idea if you will be able to capture the photo. You just put the camera above your head and pray you get the photo. I turned the camera on myself and the Rev. Alberto Linero Gomez. Look behind us and you will see others laughing as I am doing this. Learn more about the tiny camera I used to make this photo and the video.

The birds for job searching

By Jannet Walsh

How does your backyard sound in the morning? Take a seat in the garden and listen. If you are searching for work, you can use this audio to stop and refresh.

Take a big breath and listen to the chorus of birds around 7 am I have in my backyard. The photo was taken in a friend's backyard. The audio was recorded on a small digital recorder.

Camp for the Laid Off?

By Jannet Walsh

I just received a message form Chris Colin, a writer from San Francisco, Ca. at SFGate, with the San Francisco Chronicle. He wrote about a special camp for people that have been laid off. It's not about swimming lessons and campfire, but about helping people that have been hit by the current economic crisis. Maybe there is something to learn. I guess would qualify for this camp! Read Colin's story with link.

Oh, that is me at a local vineyard in central Florida checking on the grapes.

Unemployment claim problems - USE CAUTION!

By Jannet Walsh

If you are filing for your unemployment claim in the state of Florida, please use caution. Here is an example of what you might see. (Double click on image to view larger.) When you are asked if you looked for work you will find two circles to click on surrounding the Yes and no circle by the No.

If you select the circle to the right of Yes, that means No. You will be red flagged and your check will be delayed. I know this as I was, twice! That means - NO MONEY!

If you lost your job, like so many Americans, you might want to think about taking up exercise. Walking, swimming or just any exercise to get moving. Two years ago I visited the Amrit Yoga Institute and made an audio slide show. You might be inspired to add exercise to your job search schedule.

I found a story by Meghan Gibbons from The Washington Post about swimming that might help you get in the water. Here is the link.
