I don’t know about you, but it is hard for me to make it through a day without seeing someone lose their shit. Maybe someone goes on a rant about how everyone should wear a mask while someone else goes on a rant how they will never be forced to wear a mask. This post […]
Lately I have been gifted with some terrific teachers in my life. The cat that used to sneak into our house, who I had found a home for, is back – and has commenced sneaking into our house. She is teaching me boundaries with compassion (instead of compassion with no boundaries). The other prominent teacher […]
Well, this is certainly an interesting year, isn’t it? As a student of perpetual improvement, one of the challenges I have experienced lately is finally having to accept that no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, no matter how well I make choices and live my life – there will always […]
Almost every day my husband and I have the same conversation. We are spending less and less time on Facebook because of all the hatred and resentment being spewed back and forth. Don’t worry, this is not a post about current events and who is “right.” What I would like to explore is how this […]
At an online work meeting the other day, management shared this graphic which was found on LinkedIn. The message is beautiful, but unfortunately the author of the graphic could not be found.

It was so funny to see Mexicans who are used to greeting each other […]
Amid all the hate speech on and offline, I thought this quote from Abraham Lincoln provides some sound advice. He is noted for saying, “I do not like that man. I must get to know him better.” Isn’t it easy to see something we disagree with online and immediately dismiss the person who wrote it? […]
I was having a LinkedIn conversation with a co-worker the other day and I don’t remember how it came up, but I shared how about once a week either my husband or I say, “WTF??!! We live in Mexico!! When did THAT happen??” She shared that she says the same, but inserts “Indiana” instead of […]
I love this cartoon and how it perfectly illustrates how our perception colors, or in this case, blocks how we see the world. If we perceive something, we are “seeing” it using our five senses. Perceiving can also mean to understand a concept in our mind. Perceiving is the act of awareness. To perceive means […]
We live in a time where information is at our fingertips. Literally. Can’t remember the show that actress was in? Google it. Disagree on what happened at last week’s party? Text other guests for their take. The world wide web and mobile telephone devices have made it so easy for us to have easy access […]
