What I Learned on my Winter Vacation

I'm back from 7 glorious days on the MSC Poesia attending the Holistic Holiday at Sea cruise to the Caribbean. It would be hard to isolate a highlight of this experience, because it was day after day of education, meeting fascinating people, eating exquisitely...

Manifesting Your Vision Around Self-Care

I love watching a conversion. In the first module of my webinar series I talk about creating a vision for your business/life. I offer two methods for doing that--a vision board or a written statement. This week I had the opportunity to review visions with one of my...

Facebook – I Get It.

I know I'm late to the party, but I've arrived. In one of my webinar modules I quoted David Pogue talking about his conversion to twitter three years ago. After hearing all the fuss, he still didn't 'get' what was so great. Until he was on a selection committee for...

Calling It As I See It

I met with a group of women business owners recently, where one participant whom I know and adore, shared a challenge about how crazy-busy she is. She felt frantic and incapable of prioritizing. The proverbial fires were all burning equally in her arena. Taking...

Last Post of 2011

I'm back! The most significant takeaway from my wonderful trip to Mexico and California was that for the entire week at Rancho La Puerta I was fully present and never thought about home, work, responsibilities, finances, 2012 or anything other than what I was...

Big Ooga Comes to NYC

Lennie Rose, the founder of Big Ooga in Chicago, let me know that she would be in NYC over the Thanksgiving holiday. She and I have been corresponding for a few years now thanks to our connection through our blogs. We both thrive on getting fabulous entrepreneurs...

Feeling Scattered?

I finished reading my first book on a Nook last week--the weighty 642-page biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. (I want to re-thank Tessa McGovern for inviting me to her echook event at Barnes & Noble a few months back. It was there that I won the raffle...

Thanksgiving Energy

I had invited a friend from NYC to have dinner with me one evening several months ago. We spoke earlier in the day to nail down her arrival time at the Westport train station. She said, "I'm not really accomplishing anything now because I'm already in 'leaving'...

MORE Magazine Retreat

On my drive from Tucson, where the retreat was held en route to the airport in Phoenix, I saw a spectacular rainbow--in Arizona! Over the desert. Not what you'd expect. That pretty much sums up my fabulous experience at Miraval with 100+ MORE readers plus the...

MORE Magazine – Here I Come!

When I signed up for the Meet the Editors event at Miraval Spa in Tucson last June, I had no idea how well-timed this getaway retreat would be. These last few weeks have been intensely full and productive with my recent free webinar and subsequent sell-out of the...

Weekend Networking, Learning and Shopping

Yesterday was a glorious day in CT, especially compared to last Sunday when we were all cleaning up from that freaky fall blizzard and subsequent power outages. This day was sunny, blue skies and the perfect temperature for taking in a multitude of offerings. I...

An Arts-Filled Weekend

The weather couldn't have been better for touring New Haven on Saturday for their 14th Annual City-Wide Open Studios event. I saw great art, met really terrific people and got into the spirit of navigating that city to explore artists' studios. One of my favorite...

Today’s Smile

I was just talking to my webinar accountability partner, Sandy Weiner, on our check-in call. It's been a gift to have someone there witnessing my progress as well as reporting her own. I'm inspired by her initiatives, and vice versa. As we were scheduling our next...

Set Those Limits

On a coaching call today the topic of setting limits came up, especially with children living at home. I told my client that when I began practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) almost 20 years ago, my instructor provided me with a sign to hang on the doorknob of...

Where I’m Hot, and Where I’m Not

I ended up in the dentist's chair at 7am this morning for a repair on a tooth that chipped. Turns out I need a crown, but hadn't scheduled enough time for the whole shebang this morning. Nonetheless, I was a quivering mass of jello in Dr. Klein's office. I said to...
