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 […]

#RPCL Log Date May 31, 2017: #BeingHuman #GetOutOfYourHead
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, […]
#RPCL Log Date May 30, 2017: #BeingHuman #WhyWeJudge
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. […]

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 […]
#RPCL Log Date May 25, 2017: #BeingHuman #RightSizeExpectations #MoreIsNotBetter
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 […]
#RPCL Log Date May 23, 2017: #BeingHuman #EntitlementVersusEmpathy
Sometimes I think we have gotten so far away from shared values that we have started to create our own version of North versus South, Red versus Blue, East versus West and we cannot seem to find common ground. It’s in there. We just need to let go of divisive language and find ways to […]
#RPCL Log Date May 22, 2017: #BeingHuman #HardEarnedIdentity
There is something that rings true to the idea of connecting back to simple values of working with our hands, and embracing a hard earned work ethic. We fervently hold on to our roots and relish a culture of yore, fearful of what might be in the unknown future. And it’s true in some ways that progress is […]

Step away from your present fear. What do you feel when you choose to ignore the stress and thrum in your body? Are you in the amazing race to beat your middle class conditions? Do you want more than minimum wage? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Take a deep breath. Compare your day to […]
#RPCL Log Date May 17, 2017: #BeingHuman #CurrencyofSpeed
Sometimes I flip flop between the belief that we live in a passion economy and a speed economy. Another way to think about passion economy is impact. Are we making a great enough difference? Speed economy is about growth and bottom line. Are we working fast enough to exceed market expectations? Your mission, if you choose […]
