It amazes me how my energy shifts from Labor Day Monday to back-to-work/school Tuesday. The last week of August and the days before the holiday weekend crawl. And then BOOM! It's business as usual, as though nothing has ever been other than business as usual. I've...
I recently started working with a wonderful woman who came to me for life coaching, not business coaching. She is figuring out what's next for her, and it clearly isn't what she's been doing for the last several years--putting everyone else's needs first. I...
I'm sure this finds many of you digging out from under, bailing out your basements or, like I was earlier today, searching for power and a shower. The Westport Public Library was closed. I got hopeful when I saw many folks spread out on the stone picnic tables with...
Last night was my Office Party with over 50 women business owners in attendance. The sun peeked out long enough for us to enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres on the patio. There had been some question about the party being held given the seemingly endless rain we'd...
Next Monday night I'm hosting an "office party" for all of my entrepreneurial clients who never get to go to office parties or company picnics. Depending on your point of you, this could be sad or lucky. In addition to providing a traditional get-together in a...
I don't do well at buffets. Talk about leaving money on the table! Too many temptations, not enough appetite. When faced with all those opportunities--antipasto, salads, entrees, cheeses, soups, veggie platters, not to mention entire dessert stations, I contract. I...
I'm not a pop culture fiend, but have found myself immersed (albeit delinquently) in Project Runway. As an ardent patron of the public library system, I recently found dvd's of the first four seasons of that show. I know I'm light years behind those in the know. I...
I'm spending a few days attending the Kushi Institute Annual Macrobiotic Conference (my 4th) and learning a bunch of new things. Well, not actually learning them for the first time, but in a state of readiness and openness to try on a new behavior after hearing...
I was laughing out loud as I read Martha Beck's column in the August edition of O Magazine. In her article, Our Buddies, Our Selves, she hilariously describes the inner voices we all experience (whether we admit it or not). She's named them. There's Fang, who shows...
My friend Meredith Gray is moving to Savannah soon and created a bucket list of activities in the northeast before her relocation. When I heard one of the items, I enlisted to join her for a visit to the Met to see the Alexander McQueen show- Savage Beauty. We...
I pulled out my calendar as soon as my friend Pam mentioned her colleague's offering called Spa for the Soul WOMEN'S RETREAT with the tag line: Join Barbara Biziou for a transformative weekend of ritual, healing and the Divine Feminine. Sounded like just what the...
I invited two of my clients to let their gremlins have full rein at the beginning of our group's call. They each had a minute to let loose, and they did a beautiful job. My purpose was to allow the negativity to have its head, and then excuse it from the premises. ...
Never have truer words been spoken! On Friday, July 8 at 4:09pm, my daughter Lindsey gave birth to Chloe Elizabeth, her and Evan's first child, my first grandchild. All other accomplishments fall by the wayside. Birth is a miracle, and being a witness...
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jYypepBCyb4] At lunch over the weekend, my friend Carla mentioned feeling quite upset about the whole Caylee Anthony story. I innocently and naively stated, "I don't know who that is." Carla looked...
I flew out to Los Angeles yesterday for a family celebration this weekend. Across the aisle from me on my JetBlue flight was a bit of commotion. A young couple had noticed some empty seats closer to the front of the plane, which they proceeded to sit down in and...
