LIFE IS HEAVY SOMETIMES or LOVE NEVER FELT SO GOOD

Love feels good. Life feels good. It does. Yes. There’s so much to do and just…so much to love. I’m good.

I know my last post was heavy. Life is sometimes just heavy. It’s not a bad thing. It’s a life thing. No need to shy away from it. I’ve had a few folks ping me to see if I’m ok. 🙂 I am folks. Always. I’ve always loved writing. It helps me think and process. And FB is the easiest platform to write and think simultaneously.

If WordPress made it this easy to flow and post, I’m sure I’d dive in there but for now, from my phone, this is what I’ve got. As for tomorrow? Why step into the weekend when we can circle slide, kick, and MJ spin, right?

Enjoy this brilliance (and the message is so darned true). #iamgrateful and #iamthankful for you all.

WE ARE BETTER TODAY

An old family friend wrote a great piece on data (“lies, damned lies, and statistics”) and the importance of context. It was an awesome reminder not just for work, but for all the conversations we’re having about where the world stands today. I want to be clear, there is an extraordinary amount of work to be done. I’ll beat that drum, and I’ll live to the beat of that drum for the rest of my life. But context matters. If we don’t stop to realize the progress that has been made, it will be harder to motivate people for the progress that’s yet to be had.

If you’re wondering whether the world is better today than it was even 20 years ago? Here are some good reads and points of reference.

#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for the progress that’s made. #iamnotsatisfied, but I sure as hell am grateful and thankful.
