create the space to receive
Exploring the creeks and waterfalls, and apparently swallowtail butterflies, of Arkansas this week.
We are made for connection.
There are so many gifts of a flexible work environment and the work from home option.
Come for the one.
A reminder that at the core - behind all the curated photos, strategic hashtags, and powerful writing - what we do on these social media apps is create connection with other humans.
We need and must make and have fun!
Your "just in fun" intention has a much less likelihood of having a fun impact today. What may have been funny two years ago often may not land the same way today.
How are you feeling loved by me?
When was the last time you asked the people you lead and work alongside how they feel appreciated by you?
Perhaps normal is long gone.
We are only beginning to see and feel the ramifications of the last two years in our families and in our organizations.
The stories we make up
Because the stories we make up often aren't kind, generous, or based on concrete evidence.
The disconnection of unsolicited advice.
I've often been the person who shares their story of struggle, whether infertility or health battles, only to be met with an onslaught of unsolicited advice I never asked for.
We were made to connect
We need each other. We were made to connect. Connection is how we heal. And it's our power to get through this.
What if today we paused
What if today we paused long enough to make sure the person across from us knew without a doubt that we were happy to see them?
