I still have trouble with the name calling on FB. It’s so easy to want to tell someone they are an (expletive) idiot, but it doesn’t make it okay. So when someone called me an idiot on FB, it annoyed and stung a little. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Please remember: name calling […]

#RPCL Log Date October 9, 2017 #BeingHuman #beresilient #Dontbehardened #hardlife #resilience
I was watching a fantastic video of a woman on Humans of NY who was talking about how she’s always had to look after number one. The nuance I read in her story is that she lived a very hard life. Indeed her hard shell clearly protected a vulnerability that may have been exploited in […]

When we listen with fear, we only hear the threat behind the words. We are not really listening. When we listen with our hearts, sometimes we miss the logic and let our emotions take over. So it’s important to listen with empathy. We can step away from judgment that may be engaged with fear or […]

Either we accept that we are lucky in our more privileged than third-world lives, or we can compare ourselves to those who have more. Which one are you? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Say it out loud “I’m Lucky”. Now go and manifest it. Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go. #SayItOutLoud […]

I was giving advice to a member of our work family the other day, when Agent J2 told me she was overloaded at work and managing a full time schedule on a part time gig. My advice was to be firm when she met with the partner to discuss her load. I urged her to take […]

Words matter. It’s something we’ve said here before, and it’s something we reinforce when working with leaders, because their words have such obvious impact on people. The same thing holds true in any relationship. Words and actions have impact, and the depth of that impact depends on others’ perception of you. More than once in my […]

Do you dwell on doom? On “what if there’s an apocalypse”? My daughter told me one day she was afraid of dying and of losing us. She recently lost her grandfather. I said to her, “Well, we all die. So might as well acknowledge that death is a part of life, and that worrying about it […]

Are you overwhelmed with your every day? Trying to keep your head above the water line? Me, too. I need a planner. And I am not talking about the journal kind (as much as I love @moleskine). I’m taking about the human kind. Someone who can swoop in and organize my future, starting now. Your […]

We buy our lives to a large extent. We purchase debt on a mortgage to live in our dream home or transition home. We buy the stuff that fits within that space. We subscribe to services to support our high tech and high fashion lifestyles. We pay for rent and borrow money for college. We invest […]
#RPCL Log Date Aug 1, 2017 #BeingHuman #patterns #socialstructure
We’ve all been caught saying “humans are so predictable” at some point in our lives. Why is that? When we say it, do we mean what we say? Assuming we do, we may be able to peel beneath the layers and observe just how patterned humans really are. This insight can help us when we […]
