Today was a heartwarming experience as I had the privilege to interview my residents at The Bluffs of Flagstaff. Interacting with this special generation always reminds me of the importance of compassion, living in the moment, and cherishing the little things. I challenge you to take a moment and ask your loved ones some of these questions. It's amazing how a simple conversation can brighten both of your days. ☀️ Example Question 1. Who was the most fascinating person you have ever met? 2. What was your biggest fear? 3. What was the best gift you have ever received? 4. What was the best day of your life? 5. What age was your favorite? 6. What would you want people to know about you? 7. What was something you wished you learned sooner 8. Who was your first love?

I have not clinically died, nor have I been run over by a snowplow, but this guy has! I encourage you all to watch until the end, because the message is not "everyone needs to run super fast/far" nor is the message "you need to push yourself to the absolute limit". Brooks has taken the stance that everyone has that moment where you no longer are the best, or the top, or as good as you'd like to be, AND THATS OK, as long as you're taking the next step towards wherever you want to get to, that's a win. I recently took my annual Physical Fitness Test for the Marines, one of two tests every Marine is required to complete (and pass) annually. I was (and still am) very disappointed with my performance but after feeling sorry for myself for a few hours (yes hours), I reminded myself that I could do something about it, and set to building my plan to achieve my goal score next time. What are your goals, do you have a plan to get there? #resilience #goals #Marines #planning

Raymond Malone, Fairness and Construction Board, 414 E 12th Street, 4th Floor East Kcmo. ( LETTER BEING IGNORED) (PART II) April 16, 2024 Quinton Lucas, Mayor City Council, All Districts Cc: Brian Platt, City Manager Cc:Jaime Guillen, CREO Director City of Kansas City, Missouri City Hall, 29th (Mayor) Kansas City, Missouri 64106 Honorable Mayor and City Councilpersons, These illegal and unethical practices have also dissuaded business retention, growth and success for not only disadvantaged businesses but also majority owned businesses. As from the day the Fairness in Construction Board was established, passive participation in race, color, national origin and sex-based discrimination by our local government have re-emerged and has had a ripple effect within the construction community resulting in abusive procurement, oppressive fiscal policies and procedures.   These divisive tactics are a direct result of the de factosilencing of the Fairness in Construction Board.  The Board has been deprived of decades-long basic monitoring and reporting as required by City Code, Section 3-463(11).  Specifically, the lack of transparency by the Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity Department Director and the Mayor’s office has adversely affected the Fairness in Construction Board’s ability to perform our duties effectively and enjoy a positive, inclusive atmosphere. Specific Concerns: 1. The Department lacks the basic operational ability to answer telephones and respond to messages, return calls or follow up when information is requested. Although the board has requested organizational information, including a Department organizational chart with contact numbers, roles and responsibilities information, none has been provided.   2. The Disparity Study remains a concern. To date we have received misleading or false information concerning the status of the study. We now have been informed that the solicitation was opened back up recently without any explanation. As you are aware, the MBE/WBE Program depends on a current and accurate study.   3. There have been multiple resolutions that are being considered by council that would        directly affect the MBE/WBE ordinance (PNW, Size Stds, etc.) We were not made aware of these resolutions by the Department and when asked the Department staff seems to have little or no information.   4. The unequal treatment in city-funded and assisted construction projects and procurement procedures and the opportunities for certified, small disadvantaged firms particularly in the city departments and EDCKC-led projects. Specifically lack of uniform reporting and enforcement on city andincentivized projects.   5. Reports of hostile work environments on construction projects and failure of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity Department to respond and investigate pursuant to the duties under City Code, Chapter 3, Article IV and Chapter 38. Including the lack of investigation into abusive treatment and payment violations.

Empathy is a key component to great communication and success in all areas of life.

Highly recommend this book. I am not an event producer or designer but the wisdom is not limited to the realms of entertainment. This book provided me with a different way of looking at things that I am certain will benefit everything I do. #bookrecommendation
