How do you continue to show someone grace when they clearly don't appreciate it? Why do so many people, especially women, feel guilty about showing themselves grace? I'll be honest, I struggle with grace.

This year's theme is "Break the Bias" because bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead in the world. Take action by calling out gender bias, discrimination and stereotyping, and encourage others to help forge women's equality. Until next time, Eddy #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias

It's been a couple of months since my last post, and even longer since life was "normal" for all of us. How do we make sense of life in times like these? Seems all we can do is keep on keeping on, hence the quote I'm sharing today.
In other words, hindsight is 20/20. Life is ever changing, moving, evolving... so all you can do is live, reflect, learn - repeat.
