Where do you see the goodness in your life and work? When we’re caught up in the intensity of our activities, it’s easy to lose sight of the greater good our service delivers. Be mindful of the good you are providing. It can help you rise above the weariness, frustration, dissatisfaction, or irritation of the present moment. As you go into the week, embrace what is good for you.

BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND. I recently had a crazy dream where I was introduced to someone new who greeted me with a hearty handshake. I asked, "How are you?" In a country drawl, he replied, "I'm doing just fine, because I am my own best friend!" That has set me thinking. How much do we try to find happiness, contentment, or so-called success from interacting with friends and acquaintances? There is a place for them in our lives. But first, to be effective leaders, we have to be our own best friend.

KEEPING GOING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES is like walking on sway bridge between what was and what is yet to be. In these times we are unsettled in life and work not knowing how the future will unfold. Here are four tips for keeping going. Pause to stop the swaying and acknowledge and accept that things are uncertain. Pace yourself and do the best you can in the moment. Keep stepping forward until you're on solid ground again. Find someone with whom to talk it through until you come out the other side. You can also reach out to me for personal and professional support.

FACING FEAR: WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A LION IS CHARGING? When I was on a bush walk, the ranger said the best thing to do is stand your ground and face it down. Male lions are noted for being all bluster and no follow through (smile ladies) and will veer off - except when they don't. Whatever fear, anxiety, unsettledness, discomfort, you are experiencing in life and work, stand your ground and look it in the eye. Name it to reduce its threat. If you run away, that's when you get eaten! If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. It's my gift to you in these times.

LOOK FOR THE GOOD. I was lamenting once to a friend about some life challenges I had gone through. When he asked, "Where is the grace in this for you?", it stopped me in my tracks. What I was fretting about had actually led me into new places and opportunities in my life. Look for the good in what you are experiencing in the midst of the concerns and inconveniences right now. You'll find strength for today...and the days to come. Reach out to me if you need someone to talk to through this time. It's my gift to you.

Social Distancing!? It's rather Physical Distancing for bodily health. And Social Connecting for emotional and spiritual health. Staying connected offers well being for ourselves and those we connect with. We're in this together - near and far as we think of family, friends, and associates scattered around the world. Stay connected!. We need each other!
