I Feel Good – James Brown

About my guest:
After retiring in 2007 to spend 5 months in Trinidad with a friend, Amy Devereaux ran for the Johnston County School Board in 2008 and lost. She campaigned on a platform to increase the graduation rate by using five methods: greater use of learning styles through self-testing online (apparently the website has been taken down), a buddy support system so that every child feels that he belongs, planned laughter breaks and/or incorporated into lessons to ease tension and make school and learning more fun, service learning so the children could see that their education was making a difference in the world, helping to solve real world problems at the same time relieving and preventing boredom, flexibility in school and work hours configured by a team made up of principals, the employer and student to keep the child in school while helping the student and his family financially and last but not least Brain Gym.

Amy believes in the basic goodness of people and that if everyone’s brain functioned properly, there would be no crimes and violence in the world. (Dr. Daniel Amen credits Brain Gym as one way to “Make a Good Brain Great” in his book with that title on page 131.)

Let It Be – The Beatles

About my guest:
Roberta Osborne educates using the concepts of primary and secondary foods. The primary foods in our lives are: relationships, career, spirituality and exercise. The secondary foods are the foods we actually put in our mouths. By changing the nutritional components in your life, everything else changes as well. As we nourish ourselves in the area of the primary food group, then what we put in our mouths really does become secondary. It becomes fuel to support our life. Food is the easiest change anyone can make to see an immediate improvement in their life experience. By changing this one aspect of your existence, you can affect everything else as well.
