Do you surround yourself with friends who spread goodwill? Do you spread it? Sometimes I get criticized for my loyalty. But I am also someone who follows my instinct. Reciprocity is certainly welcome in times of need, but it cannot be a form of currency. That’s when its tit for tat and not goodwill. Your mission, if you […]

#RPCL Log Date May 1, 2017: #BeingHuman #StepAside
Do you fight for everything, or give into everything? I fall somewhere in the middle. But I am getting more and more impatient with age! Your mission, if you choose to accept it: If tension is high and patience is low, know when to step aside. Especially if the battle is not important to you. Set […]
#RPCL Log Date April 30, 2017: #BeingHuman #MendDifferences
I was telling a friend the other day it’s better not to let anger or misunderstood silence create a rift. Life is too short. And what if the silent treatment had an abrupt ending due to an accident with no closure? The last thing we want to think about is losing a loved one. But the […]
#RPCL Log Date April 29, 2017: #BeingHuman #Forgive
You’ve probably told yourself it’s okay to disagree with friends and loved ones. But it ain’t easy. Sometimes we just want to be right, so we decide to get mad and stay mad. This won’t solve anything. Life is too short so forgive. Even if it’s apologizing to yourself for being stubborn about the need […]
#RPCL Log Date April 28, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeFlexible #MeetInTheMiddle
We all like doing things our way, especially if we’re used to doing it a certain way. However it’s also human nature to desire change and evolve. So why not embrace a new way of doing things? As difficult as it can be to meet in the middle, sometimes it’s the only way. Your mission, if […]
#RPCL Log Date April 27, 2017: #BeingHuman #DontInvestinOnlyyourpower
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t invest in your own power if it’s to perpetuate your individual success. Times are changing. You can, too. Embrace people, community and helping others. Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
#RPCL Log Date April 23, 2017: #BeingHuman #MoveOn
Some days I feel bad about myself. The kind of bad where I want to take it out on my partner because he didn’t do something. When in reality, I know I am being unfair or unrealistic. I do want a new basement. I did want a new kitchen before I turned a certain age, […]
#RPCL Log Date April 20, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeACuriousMentor
Some of the best advice I have received from a friend and mentor recently was that I am not fixing anyone when I’m coaching. I need to remember that everyone I work with is fine and complete human beings on their own. Mentoring is not fixing someone. And it is not one-sided. We benefit and […]
#RPCL Log Date April 19, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeOkayWithBeingWrong
We all want to be right. And we want it so badly, we listen for confirmation of our beliefs to justify how right we are. It’s amazing how many people were shocked when they learned that the recent leader of the country was going to take some healthcare benefits away. What they didn’t realize was […]
#RPCL Log Date April 18, 2017: #BeingHuman #Don’tBeSelectivelyGenerous #BeBroadlyGenerous
Being selectively generous, is not being generous. I can’t tell you how annoyed I get when someone tells me they follow a book (aka the Bible) as if it exonerates judgmental behavior. Somehow this book tells them that they are better than others, and therefore they look down upon others as if they don’t have […]
