Today marks a very big milestone in the life of a loved one. And this month has been a blur, what with losing my friend to cancer on the 12th, and hitting so many project deadlines at once before the school year comes to an end for my kids. But truthfully, other than reckoning with death, […]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t get sucked into the anger-vortex. It will only turn you into a troll and unproductive member of society. Best to put your positive lens back on and find ways to impact your community and the world, large or small.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Ask, What’s next? If change feels risky, revisit what you are willing to die for. You may find that the move isn’t so risky after all, if you truly believe it matters.

It’s important to know who you are. It’s equally important to believe you can always improve. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Strive to improve yourself. #notstuck
#RPCL Log Date May 21, 2017: #BeingHuman #Limitations #CultureOfYes
Do you know your limits? Do you set limits? We are taught early on that we need to be agreeable, say yes. Limitations are not welcome. Yet we need to set boundaries to keep our sanity. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Turn the culture of yes into a culture of setting boundaries so […]
