Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was perfection, meaning that it included the people I love (minus one sick grandchild and her parents), amazing food prepared by my chef nephew and my sister (at whose knee his passion was quickened), easy traffic to...
I moved to NYC a year ago. That was a leap. After 40 years in Connecticut, moving to the Big Apple was a fantasy come true. I immediately joined a local fellowship as my anchor here. Shortly after I became a regular participant, I heard a woman in the group talk...
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8_8VnfeRHE&w=560&h=315] During our recent Mastermind Intensive, Christina Frei presented to our group as an expert demonstrating how to create videos that capture your message. She told us, with nods all around when...
My next coaching community call will be on December 6, and the topic is Remember What it Was Like to Work for Someone Else. As I was pondering this subject matter, a scene from Kramer vs. Kramer popped into my head. It's when Dustin Hoffman sits down with a yellow...
Two women drive 30 minutes to visit a store that had recently been recommended. It's a gorgeous, sunny New England Tuesday afternoon. It's almost noon, they park, walk to the shop and see this sign on the door. For those of you who may not have the opportunity to...
It didn't take Lisa Corrado long to decide that being in business for 10 years was worthy of celebration. Her Mastermind Group urged her to nail down a date and get the invitation out to her happy clients and supporters. Selfishly, we all wanted to party with Lisa....
I received a package in the mail on October 15. I didn't recall having ordered anything from amazon.com, but there was this heavy carton waiting for me. Inside the box was a book called Humans of New York. I was still confused. I'd come across a marvelous website...
Since attending a lunchtime networking meeting a couple of weeks ago, I've had three coffee dates with three remarkable women. This morning Shahrina Ankhi-Krol and I met at Dean & Deluca's midtown to find common ground. For this archaeologist turned lawyer, it...
Lena West of Influence Expansion ruffled the feathers, in a good way, of my monthly Mastermind Group last Friday. She shared her 9-Step System for managing and thriving with social media and made it sound possible. While I won't share her entire program, I do want...
How are my networking events like NYDJ? You know the clothing company, Not Your Daughter's Jeans? They differentiate themselves from the competition by naming their market (mothers, aka women) and offering something more desirable for their demographic. I'm...
My physical therapist*, that's who! I told my weekly support team that I've been spending five minutes a day crawling around the gym in my building to re-align my back and that it was working beautifully. I've been feeling terrific and wanted to share it with them....
I've had the good fortune this week to meet several wonderful women in the city. On Monday, my friend and fellow Artsy Girl, Victoria Cummings (aka the Horse Philosopher Chick), set up a lunch date with two of her best NYCity pals--an author/illustrator and her...
Preparing for my Soul Proprietor Community call recently I included words from Ecclesiastes (aka Simon and Garfunkel's Turn, Turn, Turn) which says, "there is a time to refrain from embracing." We live in such a to-do culture that when things aren't happening fast...
I couldn't have chosen a better book to read this week before my Soul Proprietor Community topic call: Allow the Universe to Manifest than Lisa Jones' Art of Living Happy - After the Loss of a Loved One: A Real-Life Awakening. Once I opened the volume, I couldn't...
