Father’s Day Wishlist for Their Daughter: Female Superhero

June 20, 2017 by Dr. Gia Leave a Comment

Christopher Bell’s TedTalk “Bring on the Female Superheroes” is one that definitely makes you think.  He talks about how our perception of the world and what is going on around us is directly related to the media and what they want to portray, especially in regards to the marketing of superheroes.  Christopher points out that all of the media that we digest on a daily basis is generated from only SIX different main companies.  These companies have a say in what we read, what we hear, and what we watch. How crazy is that?

And when it comes to marketing superheroes from movies, TV shows, comic books, or whatever it may be, there is a serious lack of female superheroes for the children of our society to idolize.  What kind of influence do you think that has on such young minds?

With such a strong preference towards male idols, our daughters are being taught that regardless of how strong, or athletic, or smart, or tomboy, or girly they are, that it doesn’t matter to the rest of world because boys are viewed as more capable.
And what about our sons? They are being told that liking anything “girly” is wrong and unacceptable.

If your daughter wants to be a princess, you’re in luck.  But if she wants to be a superhero …  

Check out Christopher Bell’s talk

“Bring on the Female Superheroes,”Christopher Bell
and hear it for yourself.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, (and) intercession … for all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

Failure, here I come!

June 13, 2017 by Dr. Gia Leave a Comment


How many of you would make the same decisions today, you made 10 years ago?

Time and experience has a way of creating 20/20 vision as you look through the rearview mirror.

Robert F. Kennedy said,

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
Well heck, there must be a tremendous amount of success waiting for me in my future. Some failures were monumental. I still cringe when I think about them. The ones I regret the most were those that caused pain to others. An off-handed remark 15 years ago can still overwhelm me with regret. 

What if I could erase all of those mistakes?

The irony is, the scar on my chin is a reminder to slow down and use caution. The painful loss of a relationship reminds me to make those important to me a priority. The embarrassing misstep that caused me to feel shame reminds me to choose my words carefully.

The scars I have accumulated over the years, are the war wounds from my battles to reach maturity.

Stephen Covey teaches us that “All things are created twice; first mentally; then physically.” He tells us to

“begin with the end in mind, with a vision … of the desired result.”

In my mind’s eyes, I see a woman who has actualized her potential. I want to be that women in real life.

I know if I continue to try; I will continue to make mistakes, have missteps, and endure embarrassments.

In the 1903 article Poor Richard Junior’s Philosophy, the author wrote

“The man who does things makes many mistakes, but he never makes the biggest mistake of all—doing nothing.”

I also know if I continue to try, I will learn more lessons, fulfill more potential, and experience more success.

Failure, here I come!
