Feed your professional soul

The Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all..
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret , greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good.
It is joy, peace , love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
The grandson thought about it for a minute… And then asked his grandfather: ’Which wolf wins?’
The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed .’
Peer Supervision is a good feed. Have you yet registered to feed your professional soul yet?
I am feeding my professional soul a little dessert in July by going to Papua New Guinea. The Kokoda trip is off because of insufficient numbers of people wanting to self torture, BUT, the work at an orphanage in Port Moresby is still on. Five days: we present workshops, help with teaching parenting skills for the under 5’s and do what ever is most needed.

Should a couple be able to design a baby with a disability similar to disability that a parent has?

Over in the Peer Supervision Forum, the journal article for discussion during the week of the 16th to 23rd January, 2010 is:
Source: Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education Advance Access originally published online on April 27, 2005
Ethical and moral questions to ponder from the article:
- Should a couple be able to design a baby with a disability similar to disability that one of the parents may have?
- Should a homosexual couple be able to have babies at all?
- Is being Deaf a disability?
Don’t forget that many professional associations allow Professional Development points for reading journal articles. AASW does. To provide your association with evidence of your article ponderment (great word I just made up) please print out your comment, but not the comments of everyone else.
Come and join the discussion. Peer supervision needs peers willing to share their views: to teach and to learn. Are you a peer, or a voyeur?
