ABOUT THIS BLOG


Like you, I wear many hats. Mom, wife, life coach,  meditator, friend, gardener, avid reader, writer 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!

I came across a blog the other day. It’s a marketing blog. 24,000 thousand readers are following this blog. Impressive? I say so!
I read through a few entries. The author has definitely a lot to offer, she’s generous and funny and straight forward. What struck me though was the language. Vulgar? Yes! One reads through [...]

The girls and I were looking at upcoming movie ads in the paper one day, when one of them turned to me and said: “Now, mom, this movie here is supposed to be number one but here is another one and another one. How many movies exactly are number one this season?” Ha?

What a great question! Those of us who face this dilemma, raise [...]

Vision Value
Being in business is not for the weak at heart. Especially in times of great uncertainty and constant change. Certain factors, like the economy, are beyond our control. These are the things we must accept. As in every aspect of life, we can only act upon the areas we have some control over.
We may [...]

When The Shoe Fits
In my work with entrepreneurs, I sometimes come across the person who is in business for all the wrong reasons. It happened just the other day. I was visiting an art gallery with a friend who knew the gallery owner. We started talking and during the conversation, the owner explained that [...]

Building the Foundation; Planning for Success

“In dreams begin our possibilities” wrote William Shakespeare. Starting a business begins with a dream, a flush of inspiration. It is an act of creativity and deep desire for something different than what life and work have been so far. As you begin to get more and more excited about [...]
