RT @KevinDeShazo: Busyness isn’t an excuse for poor communication.
Busyness isn’t an excuse to not connect with your team.
Busyness isn’t an excuse to not invest in your people.
Busyness isn’t an excuse to be a bad leader.
Everyone is busy. Make time for what matters.
Looking forward to starting treatment next week for my lung cancer. "I just want to keep working, because I love my job. I love being in touch with people I've made connections with, on the air, and off air, for the past 25 years."
“That's high visibility, zero tolerance, and aggressive patrols focused on apprehending people who are driving under the influence.”
We hit the roads with @FairfaxCountyPD’s DUI Squad as they kicked off their holiday enforcement effort.

Whenever anxiety surfaces, I have found this acronym (REST) to be helpful to move me beyond reactivity:
REFLECT: on the source of your anxiety
EXPLORE: your own values on the matter
SEEK: out others you can process with
TRUST: that God can give you grace for hard moments
RT @AdamMGrant: In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side.
Even if you can't help them feel better, you can always help them feel seen.
The best way to support others is not to cheer them up. It's to show up.
We are incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful people who make up Fairfax County! We hope you and your loved ones have a safe and joyful Thanksgiving. #FCPD
Our society is so broken. We are the only developed nation with regular mass shootings, but a large percentage of our population thinks the sex lives of consensual adults is a bigger problem. we are so broken. God help us.
RT @KevinDeShazo: If you live for their praise, you'll die from their criticism. If you live for their attention, you’ll die from their rejection. Stop listening to outside noise, stop living for the approval...of others. Know who you are, know what you're about, run your race.
