There are times when it’s really hard to say no. So we say yes, because no would be rude. Or we think no may jeopardize a friendship or work relationship, and the loyalty is too strong. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Be intentional and unclutter your commitments. Analyze why you don’t want to […]

#RPCL Log Date March 8, 2017: #BeingHuman #internationalwomensday #youridentityisyours
Today is our day. A day to celebrate girls, daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, girlfriends and the list goes on. As I reflect on my life and how I want to lead my daughters into this world, I struggle with the desire to completely go full-metal jacket and teach them to kick some proverbial butt. […]

It takes small, medium and large doses of courage to believe you can impact the world around you. If we listen too intently to our inner-saboteur, and if we submit to a sense of hopelessness due to external factors, we risk falling into a black hole. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Find courage […]

What’s your entertainment form of escape? For me it’s marvel or D.C. comics and Science Fiction/Fantasy books and movies. I supposed it’s because there are these completely flawed people who are still capable of saving the day due to some unexpected catalyst in their lives. And it’s one that gives them hope enough to see […]

If you are like me, you may be wondering if you can even begin to make a dent in the mammoth problems in our world. Too many things to do to survive. News overload isn’t helping. Your mission if you choose to accept it: Be okay with small strides toward change. Every step can lead to greater impact. Believe […]
#RPCL Log Date March 1: #BeingHuman #StriveForImperfection
Too often we strive for perfection. After the Oscar moments, I read two things in the reactions. Everyone enjoys being a critic. Critic can equal bully. Expectations are too high. Being self-critical can equal putting others down for not achieving perfection. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Strive for imperfection. First be human, and […]

Facebook has become a forum of expression and explosion during the past year of campaign, election and now leadership controversy. More people genuinely believe FB is not healthy and too one-sided. I tend to see it as a way to understand all sides. Yes I use it to vent occasionally. And I also use it to […]
#RPCL Log Date February 27, 2017: #BeingHuman #ApathyOrEmpathy
I was watching this TEDx Talk and was stunned when she cited that empathy has decreased by 40% according to a study by University of Michigan. I didn’t check, but I suppose that means apathy has increased by 40%. As someone who trains on empathy in the workplace, I can tell you it’s somewhat controversial. […]
