It’s not enough to know that we are all capable of growth. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Time to embrace a newer and better normal than what we live today. It’s feeling a little too unpredictable out there. #EmbraceGrowth Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go.

We all have the ability to see what we want to see, and believe what we want to believe. Even if it’s a skewed reality. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: If you believe that what you see is what you get, then see the good in folks. Help them to see it in themselves. #whatyouseeiswhatyouget #seethegoodinpeople […]

Emotional agility is the ability to self-regulate your negative talk. Once you recognize just how toxic your internal negative voice can be, you can actually change it! It will make you a better person, better leader and better contributor to society the more you focus on strengths and improving weaknesses, not your fears. Your mission, […]

Let’s face it. We never quite believe we measure up. Somehow the bar keeps raising after we achieve a new milestone, such that we only get to relish our achievement for a few pats on our back and then move on to the next impossible goal. So we look around to see what others are doing. […]

The media has taken a licking from much of middle America and in part, very deserving. And now? It’s clear that many news outlets are trying to rise above the desire to trade stories for a buck, by finding the hard truths in every political narrative thrown at us. But it’s too much information. Too much to assimilate […]

This morning I sat outside on my sunny porch to work. When I opened my laptop and checked email, the first note I read was from a good friend who lives in Myanmar. She shared that a mutual friend is visiting and working with human trafficking sex survivors – young girls who don’t even wear […]

Blind faith is not always healthy. It implies we aren’t even making a choice, it’s just what we’ve learned. No questions asked. We can CHOOSE to believe that there is more than what we’ve always believed, by trusting sources that have been established and verified for a long time, based on ethics not religion or […]

When we declare war on left and right politics, we are declaring war over values. In the end, it’s a zero sum game. Our values are not that different, but the spin has turned them into black and white polar opposites. So the end result is a war over being right. I picture the winner […]

For a while I’ve been on a kick to downsize my life. But in essence I’m right sizing my expectations. I used to believe that I NEEDED the three bathroom house since I grew up with one bathroom and two siblings. And now that I have it, I have had to stop myself from wanting […]

Fear is a monster. It’s the one thing we human beings try to conquer our entire lives. We teach our children to be afraid of strangers, and to be courageous in pursuing their dreams. We fight our inner voices to go after bigger and better lives for ourselves and our family. And fear gets in the way […]
