Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

“unique, fun and useful”

You know, I’ve been describing the Wakefield Doctrine in those terms since, like, the very first Post.  And it only just now, walking around the house, recovering from my 2 Mile Run, that it occurred to me that these three qualities/characteristics/values, correspond to our three personality types!  No, really, it hadn’t dawned on me today. I’m not surprised that it does, just that it is only just now connecting. Maybe it’s, in part, something Christine said in a comment, just the other day,

I imagine it would be difficult to write on the same topic for years. Coming up with ways to make it all interesting and with new info and all…
You must be doing something right, as so many of us are still sticking around!

(Astute Readers will note that I included her full comment, including the compliment, and find yourselves thinking, “My goodness! he’s certainly come a long way, what with printing the entire comment without apology or qualification.” …. “yes, I certainly concur, but he has included this imaginary conversation and so, he still manages to distance himself, wouldn’t you say?” …. “you two are both a couple of knuckelheads!!!”)

I am glad to discover that there is still more to understand and appreciate in the principles and application(s) of the Wakefield Doctrine.

Speaking of life!  There is still going to be a ‘TTohLive on June 27th at 10:30 am  (Live Event tagline:  “we happy few, we band of bloggers”)  There have been questions about the how, ( as well as the why, but for reasons that still elude me), the Event will occur. It’ll be live through ‘google hangouts’.
This is an app that you’ll need to download. On the day of the Live Event, I’ll post on the Facebook. the link to the event, click on it and viola! You’ll be live and standing around the virtual meeting room, thinking things like, ‘oh look! there’s zoe! where’s skip?? or “Isn’t that Christine? … no! you go up and say something”  “why is that guy in black and white? what is this Pleasantville?”  “look!! it’s Lizzi!  hey!! Lizzi!!”

More to follow in the lead up week. The google hangouts is the live video app that Lizzi and Michelle (and then zoe and Denise) started using early on with our Friday vidchats… it’s like the Brady Bunch, only horizontal.

So, to close out on an instructionistic note.

• clarks (Outsiders) think… and because they do they are creative to a fault, funny if you can hear them and will be there, even when you don’t see them
• scotts (Predators) act… and because they do they are the life of the party (even if it means doing the things that get the cops to be necessary, but are almost always the reason people will say, ‘did you hear what happened? I wish I had been there!’
• rogers (Herd Members) feel… emotion is a funny and usually under-appreciated thing, to invest emotion in a belief is one thing, to have (a) belief provide the emotion (and motivation, encouragement and rewards all in one) that’s something else entirely

….come join us on our 2 Mile Run*!

*run being defined as: move along, jog, walk, traverse, get from point A to point B
