Every day is unknown so why do I worry more at times of war?
It's because the media is louder.
Be prepared every day.

Do you find yourself reacting to other people's lack of action? Are you irritated that someone did not follow through with a "promise"? Are you gossiping about the situation by telling someone else "Can you believe ___?"
These are questions that we need to ask ourselves. I had this conversation today and it struck me how often people (myself included) get angry because of others' actions or lack there of. We allow that to gaslight us into shame or blame with thoughts of "maybe it's my fault they did not ___?"
STOP!
We can NOT control what someone else thinks, says or does (doesn't) do! We can only control what WE think, what WE say, and what WE do or don't do!
One way we can help prevent these situations is by having honest conversation with people. Let them know your expectations. Ask them to define theirs. Strengthen your relationships by having empathetic, authentic, and loving conversations. Now Go Live R.E.A.L.!

Although it may appear that the road to where you are going has disappeared,
if you keep going it will come back into sight.
I urge you to stay on course.

Move forward

I’ve learned not to hold people hostage to who they used to be. We all carry versions of ourselves that no longer fit—the mistakes we made, the things we didn’t know, the pain we caused when we didn’t yet understand our own.

I’ve seen how easily someone can be reduced to their worst moment, how quickly a past version becomes the only version others choose to remember. But the truth is, people outgrow their old skin. They stumble, they learn, and if life allows, they try to do better. We all have chapters we wish we could rewrite. That doesn’t mean we haven’t earned the right to start a new one.

I’ve watched friends become softer, more patient. I’ve seen people who once lived in chaos become anchors for others. Growth isn’t always loud or dramatic—it’s often quiet, steady, unglamorous. But it’s real. And when we dismiss someone for who they were, we miss out on who they’ve worked so hard to become.

No one should be permanently defined by a version of themselves they’ve already outgrown. We’re all in motion, figuring things out, trying again. And if we can give that grace to ourselves, we should be willing to offer it to others too.

Do you have just one version of how your life has been? Do you think in absolutes? Do you assume all of _____ is/are one way because that is what has been glorified about them or it?
If you listen to this TEDTalk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, you might learn to think beyond what you have heard in the news or from your childhood textbooks.
Are you being defined by just one story?

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice ...
