Our actions should align with what we say. This is a foundation of building trust. Having someone’s trust is a sacred honor.
Be consistent. Show up when you say you will. Be the same person no matter what crowd you are in…

Convicted
I grew up believing that people are innocent until proven guilty. I still believe that, and I had to practice it when I was chosen as a jury member on a murder trial.
The public domain has become one where you are now guilty until you prove yourself innocent. People are doxxed, vilified and harmed because someone wants their 15 minutes of fame at someone else’s expense.
We can stop this harmful behavior. Let’s think before we speak. Consider if it was you who had the spotlight turned on them…
Excuse Me
Excuses are lame. Taking responsibility is strong. All of us are accountable to someone, beginning with ourselves.
Do not fall into the trap of making excuses. Excusing yourself can lead to a victimhood mentality. You are not a victim…
Spreader
Let’s face it, people love to gossip. Gossip is wrong on every level.
Since you are speaking to others daily, why not talk about things that enrich their lives? Speak from your heart. Spread kindness, compassion, encouragement and hope. In fact, be a super spreader…
Think Differently
Today, Elon Musk is a constant news item. People like Musk, Einstein and many others see the world through a different lens.
We have the same ability. When you think of any situation, see it from different perspectives. Ask yourself, “what if we tried it this way?” Your mind will expand and your worldview will be enhanced…
Science
Nowadays it seems that everyone is a “scientist.” During the pandemic, we continually heard “follow the science.” That’s easier said than done.
Science changes. Viruses mutate. What I love about science is that there are no definitive answers, only more questions. For a curious soul like myself, this feeds my sense of curiosity.
Science is a great reminder for us to question everything. Don’t believe everything you hear on TV, and question everything that comes out of a politician’s mouth. God gave us an incredible gift called our minds. Follow and believe His word, and question everything else!
Keep Going…
We live in an imperfect world, where failures, frustrations and setbacks come our way. It seems like every time we get our lives together we only get knocked down again.
That’s okay. No matter what you see on social media, everyone has struggles. The most perfect-looking people are dealing with stuff we don’t know about. It’s important to remember, we are in this beautiful life together. Encourage others. Strengthen them. And when you find yourself in a battle, keep going, no matter what…
Beliefs
What do you believe, truly believe to be true? I ask this because whatever you believe with emotion attached to it will come true.
It’s just as easy to believe in positive, enriching outcomes as it is negative ones. You must train your mind…
Empathy
Empathy is shared experience. Who is better qualified to talk with an alcoholic than another alcoholic? In fact, talking about their drinking experiences is how Bill W. and Dr. Bob came to be the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The pain and struggles you have gone through can be used to help others. Our world needs encouragement and hope. Your pain has purpose. Don’t waste it by keeping it to yourself…
Opponents
The division in our country is destroying us from within. Was Khrushchev telling the truth when he said, “we will bury you and we won’t have to fire a shot?”
We aren’t opponents. We are citizens who, hopefully, stand up for what is right and true. Just because someone disagrees with your politics doesn’t make them a bad person.
Stand up and speak out for goodness. Otherwise, we will prove the communist to be correct…
