Your past trauma, struggles, problems, insecurities, mistakes are all compost. Slowly breaking down to provide nutrients to help something else grow. Obviously you still need sun, water, & tending, but remember your experiences also provide support for who you will become #growth

Hi friends. Just know that your presence in this world is enough. I know you want to achieve it all, but there is someone who is much better off because they know you and you make them feel safe. Stop trying too hard to make it because for someone you already have. you are enough

I am having a wonderful moment of inspiration! Something that sings to my heart and speaks to my soul. An improvised comedy show that highlights the pain and struggle of being human. Stories that highlight diversity and empathy through mutual suffering. Title: Stories that heal

Somethings I learned today to help facilitate conversations on race, injustice, and equity : W.A.I.T - why am I talking? is it relevant to the group or does it just serve you? W.A.I.S.T - why am I still talking? Give back space to people who really need it.

You know how at times you get a memory about someone you have seen in a long time, and you smile because of how wonderful of a person they are? Well, you too are in the minds of people who care about you. The little pockets of joy in their day. Remember that.

Is there an accurate, measured, recorded number of how much our communication is non-verbal? Some people out here just spouting out numbers and no one batting an eye. Also, does it really matter if we know how much is non-verbal? I mean what difference does it make to know it?

A reminder that sometimes you need to make your own room at the table despite making people uncomfortable.

Listened to this today and it help provide me with hope, perspective, and a bit of honesty. Especially with the election tonight I think we need to all listen to this. ted.com/talks/chimamanda_ngo…

I just want to give a big thank you and show of gratitude to @AASPTweets for creating a great #AASP2020 virtual conference. I can't imagine the hours it took to set up and to monitor, all in the effort to ensure we all enjoyed our experience. Thank you to all involved!

And a big thank to the presenters who adapted and recorded their videos for us to watch and rewatch! Although I am sure we would like to be there in person, I hope we keep some of what we did this year!

#LoveCraftCountry is so so so good. If you're not watching it, get on it.

I like To-Done lists way better than to-do lists. To-Done list is when you just do something, write it down then immediately cross it off. Its way more fulfilling. I suggest you try it right now. What did you do today? Write it, cross it off. Remove your unhealthy expectations.
