I made this same mistake today. Lesson learned.
Yes! We did it! The Equal Rights Amendment is now the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — and is the law of the land.

If you know anyone in the #LA area, reach out. Maybe you can offer:
💡A place to stay
💡Help w/ paperwork or research as they look into insurance claims & resources
💡Childcare or petcare
💡Meals or other essentials
If all you can offer is a shoulder to lean on or an ear to vent to, it means something.
If you know someone impacted, pass this along: To register for FEMA assistance in Los Angeles County after the wildfires, you can: Go to DisasterAssistance.gov, Use the FEMA mobile app, and Call the FEMA Helpline at 1-800-621-3362.

I was at a meeting today (in person) where the notetaker was using a Plaud Note AI device. I am excited to get her recap provided by the device but curious if others have used this and what your thoughts are.

"In any moment on any given day I can measure my wellness by this question:
Is my attention on loving or is my attention on who isn't loving me?" - Poet Andrea Gibson

Hosted our first dinner guest of the year last night and it was such a delight to share a nice home cooked meal. The beauty of eating in is that there is no pressure to rush through the meal and give the table back. You can sit & chat as long as you like.

Today a fellow coach said to me "People can communicate without connecting." I've never phrased it that way, but he's right.
#Connection is the emotional or relational bond between individuals. #Communication is the exchange of information or ideas. I help my clients to do both.

For the 4th year in a row, I started the new year with friends at the Korean spa. We sweat in the saunas and soak in the baths while we talk about our plans for the year ahead. Do you have a New Year's Day tradition?

Before mentally moving into the new year, make sure to take time to #reflect on all you've accomplished, overcome, & learned in 2024. I get together w/ friends at the end of each year for silent & communal #reflection. We love this workbook: booklet.yearcompass.com/en-GB-YearCo...

Overheard a dad in line at the bagel shop this morning tell his daughter "I don't think there are bad guys, just people who make bad choices." Well said sir.

I've had a few people stand me up on calls recently that they booked on my calendar. Just a reminder that time is the one thing you can't get back. Let people know in advance if you need to reschedule a meeting. A quick note is all it takes to preserve a relationship.

Last night I took snack bags of holiday popcorn as my contribution to a cookie exchange. I just drizzled melted almond bark over plain popcorn and topped w/ sprinkles. A little sweet, a little salty. Sometimes you wanna be different.

If you haven't heard of @creativemornings.bsky.social check them out. I attended my local chapter event yesterday, and those gatherings always energize and inspire me to use my talents for positive change. Their manifesto best expresses why these are my people.

I baked pecan pie cookies yesterday for our virtual team holiday party. The prompt was to bring your favorite cookie. Pro tip: Only put the # of cookies you want to eat on the plate. If you bring ALL the cookies to the computer, you WILL eat too many.

A friend recently expressed to me that she knows her fear of #networking is holding her back from greater opportunities. I told her to use her warm connections to make new ones. Ask 3 people you know well to introduce you to 3 people they think you should know based on your goals. #buildyournetwork
My husband and I went to lunch with my parents today because quality time is their love language. Bonus points if there is a meal involved. Don't forget to love on your parents. Without them you would literally be nothing (non-existent).

Does your gym have a motivational support dog? This is Squat. She makes sure I get in all my reps and sneaks in for snuggles during my rest breaks. Your accountability partner doesn't necessarily have to be a human.

I was invited to participate in a virtual networking event today with 30+ people where each person got 60 seconds to introduce themselves. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for the breakout rooms but I find these events to be time consuming & not a great environment for connecting. I'd rather chat 1:1
I made benne wafer sandwich cookies today. My husband had never heard of them. He's now a fan. One of my favorite things is introducing people I love to foods that I love.

Have you heard of the Wednesday Waffle?
It's when you send a short video clip to a friend once a week to give a life update (& they reciprocate). Just learned about this via Tiktok video on Instagram (shout out to my non-Tiktokers). Just sent a 2-minute video update to my best friend.

On the mobile app you access this menu by tapping the 3 dots next to the message button on the person's profile page.
Do you personalize your invites when you connect with someone on #LinkedIn? Sending a message with your invite creates a conversation thread that you can refer back to in the future. Make sure to mention where you met and something specific that you talked about to signify interest and build trust.
Happy to see a familiar face on here!
Pro Tip: If you want to gain visibility AND credibility at an event, don't be afraid to ask questions! Your curiosity showcases interest, engagement, and can even highlight your own level of expertise. Asking good questions requires a certain level of understanding.

Currently in #Sydney for work. This is my first time in #Australia but luckily friends provided me with guidance on what to see, eat, and do while here. Which is how I ended up on this Coogee to Bondi Beach trail yesterday. Amazing views! Are you leveraging your network for #travel recommendations?
They say "Generosity unlocks abundance."
When was the last time you did someone a favor? Helped a family move; Gave a job referral; Taught a new skill; Cooked a meal for others.
When we give to others, trust that it is coming back to you ten fold. THIS is how to build your network.
