This document outlines Lona Jane Skaggs' vision and 5-year plan to open a family violence center and develop a training program to help families become self-sufficient. The plan involves completing a doctorate in general psychology, writing proposals, conducting research, and developing online lesson plans. The goal is to help families recover from domestic violence and prosper financially by teaching life and job skills. Resources will come from student career portfolios, state domestic violence statistics, and operating an online resume building business. The vision is to establish family learning centers providing education, community, and economic opportunities.
1. Motivational touch stone
For Lona Jane Skaggs
2014 – 2019 and forward
Male reverse victimization theory-helping families find balance in authority
Northcentral University
Doctorate Program-General Psychology
2. My vision is for a training program in centers where families are sheltered during the aftermath of
domestic violence. I will narrow my topic to the hypothalamus area of the brain that governs pleasure
and anxiety levels.
In five years, I hope to be developing a program that helps families return to a prosperous family, with
the qualities that will help them to be successful in their financial situations.
Northcentral University will provide me with mentors that will help me see my vision and fulfill it while I
continue to help my family in their struggles for success
Win - win situations exist – we must look for them and then pursue them with vigor!This
touchstone begins a 30 year plan and longer – forward into time. It is not a political
schema – it is a family life reality program bound upon abundant resources that the
economy has if used without commercialized greed.This is the aim – abundance.
3. MY Portfolio Internet website - a
targeted business to support
ideas www.farlona.com
Researching for college students to use their college training as a
resume builder is a seed money project that would collect research on
individual personality and goal behavior with agreement to participate
submissions at sign up. Each student will need $500 dollars to
accumulate the papers from their courses into a presentation and make
a portfolio for hire. One on one training will be provided on how to land
a job with the portfolio [not guaranteed].The course in one month long.
I can work with two students a day-five days a week [10 x 4 = 40 x 500 =
$20,000 per month in fees. X 12 = $240,000 in the first year minus
expenses]
After my expenses and salary, the proceeds will go for remodeling the
family violence center or starting my own prototype to accommodate
the training and program needs and study.This method will need
licensing and license personnel; and I will re-design the website.
Not a
school – it is
a private
for profit
business
The internet business
needs start up
money right now for
office supplies and
advertising cost with
time management
skills
4. I plan on collecting data from the career portfolio success that each student has accomplished and
formulating the success to help low income troubled families in similar models of success [taking what
they know and managing it into real life self sufficiency plans]. My second resource is a statistic resource
for the two issues: economics and family violence found at the State of Missouri record level which
holds public records on court cases for the connections between the two issues. There is a fact sheet
complied from 2010; (Rehagen, Gaynor, & Janku) can be retrieved for up to date information. It is on the
Office of State Courts Administration website in Jefferson City, MO. This resource will help discuss the
problems to policy makers in the different jurisdictions. This support will help analyze if the problem is
real and will motivate the cause for its completion.

5. Visions
• Families participating in learning centers to share in
home life and community living based upon what they
know and have experienced with: life skills.
• Early childhood development as daily schooling for
economic development of a family trade which
redesigns schools in the future curriculum as the
children from the participating families (the visualized
center forms a home away from home school where
families meet during each day either in protection
orders or in community preparedness / recovery
courses.
• A family learning zone in each community where [not
parents as teachers become community organizers in
schools as an aid program for training their children in
the next economy…building their future from infancy
• Research will be needed to allow organizers and families
see the problem and the next economy and how they
belong (actuation).
• Consenting will be a natural mind set for the benefits
they will receive.
RECALL:This touchstone begins a 30 year plan and longer – forward into time.
It is not a political schema – it is a family life reality program bound upon
abundant resources that the economy has if used without commercialized
greed.This is the aim – abundance and happy family life.

retirement age; but I am to go on and
work another 10 – 15 years.
I have a circulation and bone disorder [self-diagnosis-arthritis]. I do
not see any doctors. It is being corrected slowly with herbs and
exercise. I live an extremely easy life. How well I walk is not
important to the success of the touch stone.
My ability is to teach online.
I have a Postmaster Certificate inTeaching Psychology Online from
Walden University with my Masters Degree in General Psychology.

10. I will write more here as I touch with reality in this
work I am putting in stone.
I just applied for a positon that I hope I can master with competency in what I have mastered.
Through application of what I have learned I will synthesize the competency and become proficient
at teaching others. The position is for a counselor to teach students as a counselor or advisor for
decision making in learning for competency. This position is part of an intermediate goal to furnish
funds to complete my doctorate degree and start my one on one portfolio business part of what I
hope for in my vision of the future (It actually could sub for the business idea ). Ljs (7/04/2014)
