Whenever I leave the house, I say goodbye to Leo & tell him when I’ll be back. I just can’t leave that sweet face without feeling a little guilty! #petlover #TheRelationshipProtocol

Ever need a breather from negative news? You’ve got company. @DebRobertsTRP has thoughts too in #LIWomanMagazine

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

@CarolSilvaNews Great article @CarolSilvaNews Thanks for including me!

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

It's okay to turn off the news when it feels like negative information overload. We need to give ourselves permission to do so. Check out @CarolSilvaNews' article for L.I Woman. I was happy to be quoted in the article which is highlighted below.#TheRelationshipProtocol

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

Oftentimes, our state of mind is a choice, not an assigned response. Make an effort to respond differently, more positively. #TheRelationshipProtocol #healthyrelationships #positivecommunication #responddifferently

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

Trusting the other person's intentions and giving them the benefit of the doubt enables you to have a more open dialogue. Notice how different your reaction is when you lean in, instead of assuming the worst or jumping to conclusions. #TheRelationshipProtocol #goodcommunication

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

It's not so complicated. Be grateful when someone is making an effort to be better! Don't just think it, say it. #TheRelationshipProtocol

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

I'm grateful that my fears, overwhelming at times, have not stopped or slowed my momentum. Today, I welcome the journey, the personal growth and the opportunity to reach and help more and more people with my practical communication tools. #TheRelationshipProtocol

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." - Stephen Hawking. The "illusion of knowledge" is a scary concept to me. We must be willing to engage in a dialogue, ask questions, be curious, be humble, be open and listen. RIP Stephen Hawking

[Jeff Cowan @theJeffCowan]

A strong POSITIVE mental attitude will create more opportunity and SUCCESS than anything else on earth.💯

[Harriet Lerner @HarrietLerner]

You don't "go deeper" by sitting alone on a mountain top. We discover ourselves through our relationships and the new learning they bring.

March is Social Work month. Social Workers rock!! I'm so proud to be in this profession. Sending love to my fellow social workers & heartfelt thanks for the great work you do helping others. #TheRelationshipProtocol #SocialWorkMonth #socialworkersrock

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]

Yelling won’t accomplish your goal of being heard. Take a breath, think of what you want to say & then say it calmly.

[Debra Roberts @DebraRoberts_1]
