Breakfast Table Talk
Sexism 101 – Father Figure Problems
copyright 2015 Bettina Network, inc. One guest brought a problem to the breakfast table. She was late arriving and most people were ready to leave. Her agitated state made all of us stay and the resulting conversation, we felt, belonged on your blog. We deal with sexism in all ways and places. Mostly, we talk…
Read MoreThose Eyes are Beautiful Because?
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2015 I love those beauty seminars at a Bettina Network Hedge School. New to me, but fantastic. I could only stay one night, but what I took with me will last for years – I hope! We had a demonstration, after a great breakfast conversation on your eyes. I tried it…
Read MoreSandra Bland – Strange Fruit
Once upon a time, the “Strange Fruit, hanging from the trees” used to be from trees with green leaves, a trunk and branches growing up from the ground splattered with red. Today, the “Strange Fruit, hanging from the trees” is hanging from man-made trees with blue reflected all around. But look! Isn’t that the old…
Read MoreDonald Trump? How to ruin a great breakfast!
A brief breakfast conversation, which most of us killed almost immediately, but not before several points were made: 1) While his first wife was working hard to help develop the Trump empire, the man was womanizing!

Read MoreRachel Dolezal – over Breakfast!
copyright bettina network, inc. 2015 I am sure you knew we would weigh in on this one. It is too good not to talk about over breakfast – and it was a great conversation. What was best about the conversation – it was honest. We did not talk platitudes; conversation society would expect or accept;…

Read MoreShake the Dust……Anis Mojdani…
One thing we discovered on Easter Sunday was the poetry of Anis Mojdani. Jonathan Fields introduced us to “Shake the Dust”. When he started the recording he had on his telephone of “Shake the Dust” everyone was talking about other things and as Anis Mojdani started his poem the table became very quiet. We wanted…
Read MoreWe Live by Faith………….
copyright 2015 Bettina Network, inc. Breakfast is a fantastic time of day. Good conversation with good food starts my day like nothing else, especially when you don’t know who you are going to have breakfast with, nor what will be discussed. We have a family custom, which goes back to the…
