Many years ago I listened to a set of tapes by Dr. Julie White advising women on how to build their self-images and self-projection. She had discussed a recurring frustration which she was able to turn around: waiting on an interminable line at the bank (pre-ATM...
The Artsy Girls met last night at Ellen Highsmith Silver's magical home in Rye, NY. She hosted our mid-summer event and gave us a tour of her creative surroundings before the program began. In addition to the dozens of wooden pig cutting boards gracing the walls of...
Kate Eisemann, my wonderful photographer and good friend, has labored long and hard to alter the background in #1 (pale blue) and #2 (white) around my curly locks. If you haven't already checked out her website, I highly recommend a visit and bookmarking. You can...
I had a super consciousness raising weekend starting on Friday when I attended a macrobiotic conference in Palisades, NY. The opening lecture, Living from the Soul, was given by Tom Monte who connected how we eat with our thought patterns. You can visit his site...
For those of you reading comments to my blog on Macs, the problem of them getting cut off has been solved by my illustrious blogmaster, Lena West of xynoMedia. Thank you, Lena! Kate Eisemann of Kate Eisemann Pictures, the talent behind my headshot selections, is...

After a full day of assisting a coach training program I hopped the subway to my hotel, made a quick wardrobe change and took another subway to NYU where I was hosting a table for Women In Communications (WICI) at their Night of the Coaches. This was a brilliantly...
I had just read Terri Lonier's brilliantly precise methodology for connecting colleagues and friends online in her weekly newsletter and wanted to share it with my readers. Then, I received the following email and thought, "Another great example of how social media...
