I took a scenic ride up route 136 yesterday to visit Sticks and Stones Farm, a place that has intrigued me since I heard about it, but never took the time to go see. Years ago I was having coffee with an EWN colleague, a web designer and brand strategist, who told...
Now that the print edition of Soul Proprietor has been published, I am working to update the audio version as well. Yesterday I was so happy to have my daughter Lindsey come to CT to record the foreword she wrote for me. Foreward_Lindsey.mp3. She's such a pro! As a...
I had my wonderful reunion walk with Lucy this morning (see Wednesday's blog for details). I told her I had blogged about her and gotten a tremendous response regarding her energized, pro-active connecting abilities. She looked at me and said, "Connecting is my...
I've talked about Lucy Hedrick on many occasions, but her re-entry to Connecticut this season prompts another side of Lucy I'd like to share. Enviably, Lucy spends over six months a year as a snowbird in Sarasota, FL, taking her writing and book proposal coaching...
The Class of 1970 is gathering today, along with hundreds of other alumnae from Mount Holyoke College to celebrate our 40th reunion since graduation. I'm imagining that the topic of conversation among us baby boomers will have to include the enormous changes we've...
The drive to the Danbury Federal Correction Institution and the facility itself were surprisingly attractive, if you could look past the sea of barbed wire and fencing all around. I was there last Friday and felt a little bit nervous upon arrival. We were screened...
Two years ago when I made my first blog entry, my dear friend, mentor and book proposal coach Lucy Hedrick said, "This is really good, Jane. In about two years, you're going to have quite an accumulation of material. Could even be your next book." I love Lucy. What...
After a super-busy weekend in NYC and out of my office for nearly three days, things have a way of piling up exponentially. It feels burdensome to walk into my office and see every countertop filled with business cards, unsorted mail and yellow stickies with...
In March I conducted back-to-back goal-setting workshops for the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County. One of the characteristics I noticed among the creative and talented men and women attending was an inability to focus. By spreading their abilities over a wide...
An article in the New York Times caught my eye over the weekend: Tech Entrepreneurs Share Sentiments in Therapy That Aren't Fit for Twitter. I read every word. If there's anything that I stand for in my business it's this: giving voice to the sentiments about being...
This morning I finished reading Gretchen Rubin's best-selling book The Happiness Project recently recommended by a new friend, Cathline Marshall. I thoroughly enjoyed it, nodding at the pieces I have already undertaken, jotting down some new ones to test-drive. At...
My daughter Laura and I had scheduled a two day getaway to Kripalu (3/17-19) as her birthday celebration. We made the plans a good two months ago, well before last week's storm prediction or its aftermath. As you know from reading my blog (or scrolling up through...
Today is my daughter Laura's birthday. I got up super-early, finished my draft of acknowledgments for the new edition of my book, and will hop onto the 11:30am train to NYC to take her out for lunch. We're going to Hangawi, a Korean vegetarian restaurant...
I am sitting in my living room in tears having just watched Tiger Woods apology on TV. I am blown away by his candor, his admission of his transgressions and his taking full responsibility for his behavior. There was never any doubt that the press had uncovered a...
