Great links from Karen Catlin's Better Allies newsletter on phrases we should stop saying...

• “Open the kimono” (Catalyst)

• “Long time, no see” (Babbel)

• “Chop chop” and “No can do” (Fast Company)

• “Namaste” when said by white people to South Asians for no discernible reason except their appearance (NPR)

• “Where are you from?” (Harvard Business Review)

I did the best I could with the information I had at the time...

I appreciate these uplifting words from Danielle Coke Balfour (a.k.a., Oh Happy Dani):

“5 things to remind yourself of after making a mistake:

• I did the best I could with the information I had at the time.
• Mistakes are natural bumps on the journey of being human.
• Perfection is unattainable & a gruel standard to hold myself to.
• My learnings will become a blueprint for future decisions.
• This moment does not define me. I am more than my missteps.”
