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!

Always loved this title – don’t remember the movie very well but the title has stayed with me. It must be the idea of total clarity and panoramic view that I’m attracted to.
A few years ago I took a trip to New Mexico and visited the cliffs of Puye. I remember standing on top of [...]

Sports is not one of my passions. I leave that to my husband, a die hard Yankees and Celtics fan. A man of eclectic taste who makes no apologies. I find baseball too slow, basketball too fast and tennis just right!
I managed to resist paying attention to all the hoopla about LeBron James. Not [...]

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 [...]

During my Daily Habits teleclass today, I had the chance to observe, once again, wisdom in action.
People shared the challenges and dilemmas they face when it comes to self-care. They jumped in to support one another and in doing so, they proved how wise, knowing, willing and generous they are  . . . when it [...]

I saw this tv ad about the “isle of the flightless birds.” I honestly can’t remember what the ad is all about (goes to show you how much attention I pay to ads.)
It’s the  concept of the “flightless birds” that has stayed with me.
I find myself thinking, “What does it mean to be a flightless [...]

I began this morning by inviting people to keep it simple for today and choose their disruptions wisely. For the most part, I tried to do what I preached.
A meeting I had in the morning, finished earlier than I expected, my to-do-list was moving along nicely and by early afternoon, I found myself with time [...]

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?
From the mouths [...]

When do we know we’re playing hide-and-go-seek with success?
Can it be when we don’t take the time (because who has time for trivia anyway?) to spell it out for ourselves?
Do we know what a successful business . . . a successful life look like? Or, is it, other people’s beliefs of what success is, that [...]

Our daily habits can support or undermine our sense of well being and the quality of our life, one day at a time.
More often that not, small changes in our daily routine can result in increased energy and confidence.
Join me in this teleclass and get the opportunity to:

Evaluate your [...]

Q. Although, I have no problem of speaking about “what I do,” I am conscious of not cornering people with the hard sell- therefore I feel I may miss opportunities. How do I maintain a balance between being “authentic” and marketing effectively?
What a great question! Those of us who face this dilemma, raise [...]
