Positive Self Talk
“What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?” – Robert Schuller Have you noticed the little dare devils children can be, seemingly “fearless”? The possibilities are so much more attractive than considering the fall. Watching my son on his skateboard is both terrifying, as well as inspiring as he repeatedly […] More
Judgement
“Do not judge others by your own standards, for everyone is making their way home, the way they know best.” – Leon Brown I have a secret… this Thanksgiving I went to Hawaii with my family for vacation. I was afraid to post a single photo on social media because of the judgement of […] More
Disagree without being Disagreeable
“You can disagree without being disagreeable.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg With the election results looming, this seemed like a fitting reminder for all of us. We do not need to agree, we don’t even need to debate, but we should try for a bit more civility. I don’t agree with most of my family on political […] More
Lifting Others Up
“A rising tide lifts all boats.” -John F Kennedy This quote was shared with me after our last sponsor breakfast call, and I think it really speaks to our efforts surrounding case management week, managing COVID updates online, and postings about Fire resources this past month. When we all work together- every one of […] More
People Cry
“People cry, not because they’re weak. It’s because they’ve been strong for too long.” -Johnny Depp This weekend I had a minor (very, very minor) miscommunication with my husband about dinner, followed by my uncontrollable crying. Needless to say, he was confused! I wasn’t really crying over what was for dinner- as it may have […] More

“The two things in life you are in total control over are your attitude and your effort.” –Billy Cox Lately, I have felt that I do not have as much “control” as I want or need. The best I can do right now is to stay focused on what I am able to manage and […] More
Follow Through
“If you say you will, be sure you do.” On our team, If you say it.. you are doing it. This doesn’t mean that I don’t occasionally overcommit, or run late- but I will always follow through. Our word represents our integrity and that is the most important value for our team, everything else is […] More
Winners
“Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed.” – Robert Kiyosaki This quote seemed very fitting as we launch CareAvailability.com. Our team started to work on this project quite a while ago and had to adjust the course along the way. I am proud that the website we are releasing next week has […] More
Finding Yourself
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose. ” – Dolly Parton During the Stay at Home order many of us have had time to reflect (maybe more than some of us would prefer). Take some time this week to think about who you are, the person you want to be, and […] More
Loneliness
“Loneliness is not a lack of company, loneliness is a lack of purpose. ” – Guillermo Maldonado I often feel that I am best when helping others make connections, and being a resource. Lately with the Stay at Home order, I am struggling to feel the same sense of purpose. It has made me look […] More
