    This past week I further developed personal skills by being flexible, understanding and

    considerate. I had two scheduled phone conferences Monday, one at 10:00 am and the other at

    2:00 pm, one call with the board member that I will be working in conjunction, developing the

    peer-to-peer curriculum, and the other call was with my site supervisor. Both rescheduled for

    later that day due to unexpected emergencies; I obliged both requests. Neither one of the calls

    took place that day at the rescheduled times, the board member and I rescheduled again for later

    during the week and unfortunately, my site supervisor never called nor did she reschedule for

    another day or time. Instead, I received an email requesting a revision of the time to chat

    weekly; I accepted the request.

    Although unexpected emergencies arise in everyones life, I feel that there should have

    been more communication and respect of my time. I waited patiently that day to hear from my

    site supervisor. Instead, I received an email the next day asking to change our scheduled phone

    conference time. I am flexible and accommodating as I know life gets in the way of life, at

    times. I often hear comments from Great Dames board members and my site supervisor, that

    they are busy with work, family, and other priorities, therefore, they were unable to start,

    complete, or finish assigned tasks. I have taken these statements; personally, many said in a

    condescending manner, by some. I have a life as well, and I have life happen to me too.

    However, I do my best to be considerate of others and their time. I am indeed working on not

    taking things so literal and personal.

    Through self-reflection and self-understanding, I hope to gain further awareness of my

    reactions towards others. Although I have learned to not reply to rude people and their

    comments, it does not take away the sting from their remarks. Taking things personally has been

    a weakness of mine. Ive read dont take anything personally; nothing others do is because of
    you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are

    immune to the opinions and actions of others, you wont be the victim of needless suffering.-

    Don Miguel Ruiz- The Four Toltec Agreements. I have this meme in my phone so that I can

    refer to it when I feel myself feeling sensitive to others ill-mannered comments.

    I am a strong-minded individual that speaks up for myself and others when wronged.

    However, I have had to learn not every hurtful comment or rude person deserves my energy.

    This approach works for everyday life and professional settings. I have found strength through

    journaling and revisiting my thoughts. When I journal, I leave my thoughts there on the paper,

    and often I can move past negative emotions. I chuckle to myself sometimes as I write thinking,

    this does not bother me or matter to me now. Im moving forward towards my future, not

    looking in the rearview mirror rehashing the past. As the saying goes, when you know that you

    know, you know. -Unknown
