Imagine what our lives would look like if we stopped trying to be good and started trying to be kind. Chidera Eggerue, It’s Not Ok To Feel Blue, And Other Lies THIS. QUOTE. Sometimes a sequence of words sends my mind spinning. Kindness before goodness, says so much, speaking directly to our inherent worth as…

“We must risk delight. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of the world.” – Jack Gilbert I read this quote in Big Magic, and it stopped me in my tracks. It was like a truth bomb had gone off inside my head and heart. Why is delight a…

I just finished reading Brene Brown’s book, Dare to Lead, and I took such extensive notes as SO MUCH of it deeply resonated with me. If you haven’t heard of her or read/watched any of her content, I implore you to take a month off work immediately and take a deep dive. She has a recent…
