Tell me if you've heard this one before... A cyber security office, a business owner, and a wildlife biologist all get elected to office in #Minnesota.

Instead of working on their state's problems, they all try to play armchair psychiatrist by introducing a bill to designate a new mental illness.

Few things make me more livid than hardworking and self-sacrificing physicians being asked to justify their work at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Not everything always needs to be a big production. Praise people, in small ways, every day.

Taking a moment to compliment someone on their hard work, thoughtfulness, or ideas can change a person’s day. Sometimes the little things have the biggest impact.

93% of our communication is non verbal. There’s something very primal about it.

I find driving can be fascinating because the way we drive is a form of #nonverbal communication.

And I’m not just talking about the #NJ state bird! Rather, aggressiveness, speeding, meandering, tailgating, etc

Post-Election apathy isn’t a sign of not caring any more about #politics… it’s a #trauma response.

This political landscape is brutal and nonstop.

When a stressor is nonstop, learned #helplessness and learned #hopelessness become inevitable.

Take time to disconnect, recharge, & be kind.
