I haven’t done a peaceful march before. I was hesitant at first. I didn’t know what to expect. I was even a little afraid that it could get out of hand. Do I bring my kids? I was clear about one thing. I was going. With a desire to stand for love not hate, for human rights not […]

#RPCL Log Date January 20, 2017: #BeingHuman #SafetyNet #BigDay #Inauguration
It’s my 20th day of journaling. 20 days into 2017. And the countdown continues after today, into the next four years. How will his presidency turn out? What will he do? Can he be a thoughtful, a critical thinker, a great thinker? Will 45 be a lucky or unlucky number for the 45th President of […]
#RPCL Log Date January 18, 2017: #BeingHuman #EncourageSomeone
Encouragement is all it takes to get a toddler to take its first step. We are no different as adults. Stepping into a mosh pit is usually done with the support of friends. Stepping into a new role that stretches us can be greatly improved with constructive and encouraging feedback, giving us a hope of success. Thanks […]
#RPCL Log Date January 17, 2017: #BeingHuman #OriginStory
Why do you care about what’s going on in your culture? How does it tie to your identity and personal beliefs? Your identity can greatly impact what you choose to see and choose to ignore. Anaïs Nin once said, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are”. It starts with your story. […]
#RPCL Log Date January 15, 2017: #BeingHuman #HarnessYourSuperpower #TakeYourPower
Take. Your. Power. If 2016 was as bad as some of us think it was, now it’s time to be in charge of 2017. I’m referring to it as Take Your Superpower. If you’ve been handed the damn box of magic powers, of super strengths, of talents and gifts, take it. Be it. Stop focusing on your weaknesses. We […]
#RPCL Log Date January 14, 2017: #BeingHuman #Love #Self #ViableForce
These days, it’s easy to look in the mirror and, like Jack Nicholson, wonder if this is “As good as it gets?” Am I on top of my game? Do I believe I can do more? Can I be a viable force in the world? It’s not enough to receive approval or “likes” on social media from […]
#RPCL Log Date January 13, 2017: #BeingHuman #BatCave
This weekend, I found my sanctuary and did a ton of writing, in bed, with copious quantities of espresso, heater on full steam to keep me all cozy. The circumstances were unusual as I am a full time PLUS mama who is constantly running around and trying to manage the life of four in our […]
#RPCL Log Date January 12, 2017: #BeingHuman #ListenUp
I called a friend today to catch up. It’s been a while, and it was clear from the moment we got through the initial hello that she just needed a friend to listen, without judgment or solutions. I found myself trying hard to focus and, of course, was able to start really focusing when I stared […]
#RPCL Log Date January 11, 2017: #BeingHuman #Shhhh #Respect
Is respect earned or granted? I debated this with a friend when skiing one day. Unfortunately we hadn’t started drinking as it got pretty heated. It all worked out in the end. We agreed to disagree and our families spent the rest of the week together where we enjoyed one another’s company. But later when […]
#RPCL Log Date January 10, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeingKind #sethgodin
I was perusing some of Seth Godin’s blogs recently and his January 5th post struck a chord within my cerebral orchestra of making sense of things. His topic Is Kindness a Luxury? We can all make room for kindness in our lives. Unlike the bank account that actually gets depleted, our human emotions such as fear or […]
