Recently I got a scolding email. It was sort of strange, as it was from a complete stranger, and it reminded me how easy it is to communicate via email without any sense of how the message may be received. We call it being direct, but sometimes it’s just plain raw information that hasn’t been […]

#RPCL Log Date May 7, 2017: #BeingHuman #MakeNewMistakes
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t make the same mistakes. If anything, at least try and make new ones. It’s a sign you are willing to grow, risk and conquer fear.
#RPCL Log Date May 6, 2017: #BeingHuman #CollectiveSuccess
These are tough times for most of us living paycheck to paycheck. And while I’m not driven by money, I have been extremely fortunate to have a supportive community who is truly invested in my well being as much as I have been in theirs. That said, my husband and I still ran out of […]
#RPCL Log Date May 5, 2017: #BeingHuman #InTheFaceofAdversity
In the face of adversity, we sometimes turn into our ugly selves. When we evolve as human beings, we eventually learn from the acts done unto us, and we start to understand how our acts may impact others. We develop empathy. As regressed human beings, we only think of our personal strife, with no regard for how our […]
#RPCL Log Date May 4, 2017: #BeingHuman #StretchGoalsNotBarriers
Dream big. Why not? Sure there are barriers. There always are. And, just like that tree you are about to ski into if you stare it down, the barrier becomes a real thing if you focus on it. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Turn your barriers into stretch goals. You can start […]
#RPCL Log Date May 3, 2017: #BeingHuman #EmbraceTheUnexpected
Life is full of unexpected surprises. Some of them are not as desired as others. In a growth mindset, we adapt. In a fixed mindset, we find a scapegoat. What’s your mindset? It can change, so take a snapshot of it today, and check back to see where it is in three months. Your mission, […]
#RPCL Log Date May 2, 2017: #BeingHuman #Goodwill
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 […]
