So after my negative declaration yesterday…well, even before my negative declaration yesterday, I’ve been living this mantra of being positive. And hanging around optimism – hanging on the capital O of Optimism. I’m trying to be THAT person who is seeing the light. And in some ways it’s working. Not always. I clearly have my […]

Human beings hide from shame. So we’re not perfect, and our parents are not perfect. So what? Today I told my husband, out of anger, “So you want to pick a fight? Eff Off”. Um, that was IN FRONT of my kids before they headed out the door to school and my husband and I […]
#RPCL Log Date March 12, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeingVulnerableIsBeingPowerful
I’ve been watching how people are fearful of failing within my world of humans. So much so, there is this over-confidence, and hyper driven desire to be SELF RELIANT. Guess what, we are social animals. So rely more on your network. And your community can soon realize how to lean on you, too. Your mission, if you choose to […]
#RPCL Log Date March 11, 2017: #BeingHuman #selfdoubt
As much as I tell myself, “it’s not me”, I still find myself doubting myself when I don’t hear back from a client. Even if I know it’s paranoia and their silence is legitimately due to their busy-ness. So it was a relief today when I heard from a client after 3 weeks to say […]
#RPCL Log Date March 10, 2017: #BeingHuman #YourGift
The best gift we can give to a friend is honesty. I know it can sometimes be hurtful, so delivery matters. I wasn’t very mindful of how I delivered a message and it cost a relationship, so I can tell you that it takes real work to find a way to be tactful and honest. […]
#RPCL Log Date March 9, 2017: #BeingHuman #UnclutterYourCommitments #JustSayNo
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. […]
#RPCL Log Date March 7, 2017: #BeingHuman #SafetyInNumbers
There is safety in numbers when we go against the status quo. But only if we organize ourselves. It does no good to create a grapevine about what we don’t like, unless we are willing to unify our voices and stand up for what we want to see change. Your mission if you choose to […]
#RPCL Log Date March 6, 2017: #BeingHuman #CourageToBelieve
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 […]
#RPCL Log Date March 5, 2017: #BeingHuman #EveryBitofHopeCounts
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 […]
