ABOUT THIS BLOG


Like you, I wear many hats. Professional life coach, mom, wife, friend, meditator, gardener, avid reader and movie buff. . . among other things.

Here, I share observations on life, work and everything in between. What works, what doesn’t, what frustrates the heck out of me and how to keep it all under perspective.

I love a good discussion, so don’t be shy -  post a comment, ask a question, spread the word!

My clients keep me honest! I can’t work with people on life balance and life purpose unless I do the work myself. I am consistently reminded of this since I attract people who are like minded and are struggling with issues I have also struggled with.
The people who come to me are tired of going [...]

We live in times of turbulent change. No matter where we live or what our current situation is, we are affected. There is so much going on right now. The economy is experiencing painful mood swings, there are twelve days to the national elections and people are faced with tough choices. Anxiety and stress are [...]

People who don’t have good self-care habits to begin with, find it almost impossible to take care of themselves at times of extreme stress. Health matters. Living with stress, not sleeping [...]

Interruptions are part of life and work never ends. Those who accept these two facts have an easier time coping and don’t add to their stress.
The average person in an office is interrupted almost six times an hour, all day long. Six times an hour!
Most people I talk to feel helpless when it comes to [...]

It is during difficult times, when life seems to be turning on its head, that we have to maintain our center. Everywhere we look there is something to worry about. The more we listen, read, and watch, the more anxious we become. Pollsters are telling us that eight out of ten people are seriously scared [...]

At the Möbius Leadership forum session titled “Walking the Tight Wire: Family and Career, Finding the Balance,” moderator Robin Ely, a professor of organizational behavior at Harvard Business School, suggested that “people focus in their lives on what it is that they want to create, and not necessarily on what it is that they want [...]

Life doesn’t present us with a clear, unobstructed road. On our way, we get potholes, roadblocks, and mudslides. Our lives spin out of control. We lose our jobs. Our businesses falter. Our children seem to have grown up overnight and we are not the center of their world anymore. We fall out of love. Stress [...]
