A common theme for many folks (women especially) is giving too much. Friends tell me they need to stop giving more than they can handle. I hear it all of the time, and live it to a very large degree. Is that sympathetic living? Why do we feel the need to give too much of […]

I do my best crying in the shower. Today I didn’t make it to the shower. I was reading a text about a canceled meeting and taking a bite of a piece of bread with banana mashed on top when it hit me. I wanted to swallow back my tears but I heard myself say […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about self preservation lately. How selfish that sounds. I picture using formaldehyde to hold onto an ageless body. I picture fear taming the heart to be more self consumed, skirting at the edge of insanity. I picture a new normal that is so wrong, and accepted nevertheless. Here’s a thought. Let’s not […]

How many times have you personally experienced friends splitting up? And suddenly you are stuck choosing sides. It’s not as uncommon as we’d like to think and it’s frankly even painful for the innocent bystanders who now have to either listen to both sides or choose to hear one side. It can be a drag on […]

Being a giver means you sometimes surround yourself with takers. It’s especially tough when takers are not very self aware and take more of you than you can give. Some days I feel completely drained. As if someone has zapped the energy right out of me. And so, I have to think about what fuels me. […]

It’s easy to take care of others needs without putting too much thought into our own. But there is something to be said for donning that armor, our last mission, and now looking in the mirror square on. Do you like what you see? If not, why? Maybe it’s time to get more curious about […]

As I reflect back on 2017, I have a lot to be grateful for. My life is filled with love, hope and a surge of happiness when I think about what we’ve accomplished, and what we have yet to explore, try and achieve in 2018. My lessons learned for 2017 are long, and in fact it’s […]

Here’s a year in review for what we’ve accomplished and what’s next for Covert Leadership. On January 1, we decided to blog daily as a way to journey through, and maybe even cope in our extremely divisive society. We wrote a book in 6 weeks and we wanted to find a way to reunify our […]
#RPCL Log Date December 13, 2017 #beinghuman #TimetoReinvent
There is a quote that I have relied on for years by Georges Sand – You cannot tear out a single page of your life, but you can throw the whole book in the fire. I’m sure I’ve paraphrased it. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Time to REINVENT yourself. Don’t hold onto unhealthy […]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Be glass half full today. And tomorrow.
