Earlier I reference how important it is to know your strengths and weaknesses. Be prepared to own your identity. Be okay with who you are. Harness your superpower. Without an awareness of how human you are, and a personal acceptance that it’s okay to be imperfect, it’s easy to hide behind a mask and start to believe in your […]

#RPCL Log Date January 24, 2017: #BeingHuman #UnitedWeStand #ReunitedWeStandStronger
I haven’t done a peaceful march before. I was hesitant at first. I didn’t know what to expect. I was even a little afraid that it could get out of hand. Do I bring my kids? I was clear about one thing. I was going. With a desire to stand for love not hate, for human rights not […]

Today my daughter corrected my use of language twice. I said “Honey put on your cowboy boots please.” She said “cowGIRL boots.” Then I said hurriedly (as we were getting her ready for a party), “Yes, yes. I mean cowgirl boots. And do you want to wear your cowboy hat?” “CowGIRL hat,” she said with […]

I was leaving the gym bright and early this morning and my gut told me to avoid the elevator and walk around the block to the parking lot. Was it my intuition? Or was it just a head game from too many horror flicks? It could have been slight paranoia and probably the head game more than intuition. […]

It’s the day after. And we are on a mission more than ever to activate our humanity and bridge our communities. Here’s a little insight into our origin story. In a nutshell, it goes something like this. First we give a sh*t. Then we own our sh*t. Finally we come together to get sh*t done. […]

It’s my 20th day of journaling. 20 days into 2017. And the countdown continues after today, into the next four years. How will his presidency turn out? What will he do? Can he be a thoughtful, a critical thinker, a great thinker? Will 45 be a lucky or unlucky number for the 45th President of […]
#RPCL Log Date January 19, 2017: #BeingHuman #UseYourWords #NoMoreEchochamber
Sometimes I hear an argument or counter argument on an issue that sounds strangely familiar. Almost word for word. Like the perfect branded sound bite from CNN or FOX. It’s disappointing to hear words and slogans repeated with little thought. We stick to a familiar echo chamber from the chosen side, while stopping short of looking beyond the line in the […]
#RPCL Log Date January 18, 2017: #BeingHuman #EncourageSomeone
Encouragement is all it takes to get a toddler to take its first step. We are no different as adults. Stepping into a mosh pit is usually done with the support of friends. Stepping into a new role that stretches us can be greatly improved with constructive and encouraging feedback, giving us a hope of success. Thanks […]

Why do you care about what’s going on in your culture? How does it tie to your identity and personal beliefs? Your identity can greatly impact what you choose to see and choose to ignore. Anaïs Nin once said, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are”. It starts with your story. […]
#RPCL Log Date January 16, 2017: #BeingHuman #reunification #MLK
Today, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on some of the darker days in our history, I think about the work we have in front of us to reconstruct the American divide. King’s vision was to eventually become color blind. And yet, this past year, instead of being hopeful about unity, racial and […]
