Question: Is it ‘you and me’ or ‘you and I’? ❓ Answer: It’s both. 😲 How do we know which to use? It all depends whether these words come BEFORE or AFTER the verb in a sentence. (Don’t forget – verbs are action, or doing, words. Think: do, make, eat, want, can/can’t.) Here are the rules: Rule 1 – Use ‘you and I’ when there’s a verb that follows. ✅ “What weather! You and I should go to #Cromer beach.” ❌ “You and me are a right pair!” Rule 2 – Use ‘you and me’ after the verb in a sentence. ✅ “Was he being rude to you and me?” ❌ “Yeah, he was definitely shouting at you and I. Mainly you, ‘cos you stole his sunhat and Stella.” 👍 Rule of thumb? If it goes at the end of a sentence, it’s ‘you and me’. (Oh, and the rules don’t change if you replace ‘you’ with someone’s name either – e.g. Greg and I/me. Remember Greg 👨?) Anyway, there you have it. Piece of cake. 🍰 🦞

We all have an inner critic, and while it’s important to self-reflect, we need healthy strategies to manage that voice. For me, the first milestone in detaching my value from my workplace was realizing that a change in fit doesn’t mean I’m less valuable—it often reflects a shift in values, and that’s okay. It’s uncomfortable, but real. This TED Talk is a great reminder to approach our inner dialogue with compassion, and to recognize that growth sometimes means moving on. #InnerCritic #SelfWorth #Growth #Mindset

I grew up as a military kid, raised by parents who had Veteran parents, who had Veteran parents, who . . . you guessed it . . . had Veteran parents. The generational tree bore a lot of fruit, and not all the fruit was good. I became an adult and married a military man from a military family. We wanted more from this life and to change the patterns we knew. The difference between the generations before us and us is that the conversation on mental health is both a) a thing; and b) socially acceptable. I clearly remember the day the inner warlord repeated such defeating diatribes and had pontificated for the last time. I couldn’t hear all it was saying but I knew the message was not supportive, not helping me, and not growing me. Dan Harris uses the toilet metaphor for this and hits the nail on the head. That day I realized I didn’t want to hear it anymore. I wanted a new song streaming in the background of my day to day that lifted me up and helped me feel connected to other people. I spent time journaling, reflecting, and praying. Dan offers two solid ideas. The two solid ideas I have are ones that I practice regularly and have never failed me. First, tune into the sound of ‘I can’t’ in your thoughts and as it leaves your mouth. Who said you can’t? Why can’t you? Where is the evidence? How CAN you do this thing? Forgive the thought or the utterance and revisit the answers to the questions. Second, gratitude. Just as it is impossible to walk in love and hatred at the same time, so it is impossible to dwell on everything going wrong or wrong choices you made and be grateful at the same time. If this is hard for you, find one thing today that you can be grateful for and repeat this everytime the darker thing tries to rise up. (It will be put in its place.) Maybe tomorrow, you find two or three things to be grateful for. Keep seeking out things and moments to feel or express gratitude. Build on it. Before you know it, you will have developed an attitude of gratitude and a practice of gratitude. Until one day you wake up and realize not only do you feel connected but now you want to actually help others feel that way too. Then you will find yourself being transparent in ways you never thought possible and sharing TED Talks with all and sundry.

We're drowning in a sea of information. With so much information available at our fingertips and compelling arguments competing and contradicting each other, it can be overwhelming. Too much information leads to indecision out of fear that our choice will not be the perfect choice. Consider for a moment that the pursuit of more information is evidence of the lack of trust you have in yourself and your ability to handle whatever comes next. The truth is you will never be able to know enough or predict enough to determine if the action you're taking is the "right" one or will give you the "right" results. You can only take the best course of action with the information you have available to you right now. And sometimes, you won't get more or better information until you've taken an action. You don't need more information. You need more action aligned with your values and vision for the future and you need trust and faith that you've got this.
