What I Did On My Summer Vacation

August was all about doing things differently and taking time off from my business. In July I let my clients know that our next appointments would be in September, then made plans that took me in other directions. My three big away-from-my-routine outings were:...

From the Big D in TX

Greetings from Dallas! I arrived this morning to attend a working conference. In this month of not doing my regular entrepreneurial work, I've cleared the time to give service to a spiritual fellowship this week and assist at a coaching workshop next. While this...

Authenticity at the Jersey Shore

When my sisters and I were young we would look at magazines like Seventeen or at mail order catalog pages and vote for our favorite model, outfit or hair-do. We'd turn the pages, announce the category, then count to three and point. "Prettiest! One, two, three!"...

5 Ways Not to Go To Yoga

In June I made a financial and management decision--words not usually associated with yoga (my first clue!)--to stop going to my beloved yoga instructor in Southport 6+ miles from my home. Those classes were intimate and there was plenty of space to stretch out....

The Hungry Thief

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...

Quick Update

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...

Tomorrow’s My Birthday

Most of you are taking today as a vacation day, so I'll be brief. I spent the past three days in NYC assisting at a coaches training course. It was an extraordinary experience being in a room with 18 very powerful coaches-in-training, two inspiring co-assistants...

In Dublin

 I arrived in Dublin before 7am (2am EDT) yesterday, grabbed a cab and arrived at Linda's doorstep before 8am. After a quick tour of her magnificent apartment and a short welcoming chat, I went right to sleep.  When I got up, it was bright and sunny--not typical...

Vay-Co

Click here to watch Vacations in our house have always been affectionately referred to as vaycos. Not sure how you'd spell it, but it's pronounced like the title of this post. Being married to a public school administrator (English Department Chair--retired since...

Meredith Gray – NAKED

When Meredith signed up for my Transformations through Transitions group this spring her goal was to bring her breast cancer story to the public's attention. She talked about creating an advisory board--more like a support posse--which stimulated Meredith's drive...

Transitioners Transformed

My first offering of Transformation through Transition ended Monday with successes and hugs. Six women began the process a month ago by sharing where they were in their lives/businesses with almost-strangers. Two women who already knew each other had the seed of an...

Time to Manifest

I can think of two clients off the top of my head who are on the verge of major success. In both cases the work is impeccable--one an author, the other an interior designer. Each has done everything humanly possible to get her message out to the public.  They have...

Not Every Day Is a Winner

Monday was impossibly rainy and everything that happened up until about 4:30pm that afternoon made me want to crawl into bed and pull up the covers. The big check I've been waiting for didn't arrive. A speaking engagement I thought I had booked fell through. A...

Snow Day!

My husband, a retired English Department Chair, and my kids used to do the 'happy dance' (even before it was named that) when the prediction and nature supplied a snowstorm worthy of closing schools. There's still that jubilant feeling in the air today when Mother...

Office in Your Pocket

While I'm not an advocate of doing business 24/7 or bringing your Blackberry to the lunch table, I do believe that you can operate from anywhere these days. The reason I mention this is that good friends of mine have been planning a trip to Florida this week. One...
