I have so much admiration for people who can keep it all in their heads and accomplish the tasks, calls, and appointments. I’m starting to wonder if they are just smarter by committing to fewer tasks at a time?

I've witnessed firsthand the detrimental impact of unchecked expectations. I notice that we are so surprised by the unexpected even when we know that it is part of life.

Building and sustaining these connections isn't always a walk in the park. No one is going to come knocking on your door asking to be your bestie.

This is the culprit for most breakdowns. We don’t share our expectations and then wonder why others let us down. Why? First, we assume other people will just get it. Second, to share our expectations means to be vulnerable…

This time of year calls us to reflect, observe and consider. It could reveal a successful year coming to completion or a difficult one...

We can have, on average, 150 “meaningful” relationships. However, social media is changing the game. How many people are you “friends” with on your social media platforms? How many of those people do you interact with outside of your social media?

Why do we feel we have to glaze over the truth if it doesn’t sound good? Do we forget that we are all in this together, and part of our human experience is to feel sadness, joy, struggle, happiness and the full range of emotions?
