Where Are YogaToes on Your List?

Fill in your own self-care habit that's bitten the dust when you're crazed by the onslaught of life. I'm telling on myself here. Clients, listen to what I say, not what I do 😉 Just yesterday I relocated my set of YogaToes, a device that is meant to help with all...

What Deadline is Most Pressing?

Here's what's on my BIG (and littler) PROJECTS list, beyond my normal coaching schedule, for early 2016: Deliver The $oul Proprietor'$ Roadmap to Abundant Living talk to women's group 1/21 Market new course (starting March 7) based on this talk Complete memoir...

How’s the Pressure?

If you've ever had a massage, this is something the therapist will ask a few minutes into your treatment? Do you want her to press harder, or simply give your muscles a gentle workout? It comes up in coaching as well. I have a new client who is balancing a...

Please Help a Recovering Goody-Goody

I just got an assignment from a trusted support person to do something naughty or mischievous on a daily basis. The point of the exercise is to misbehave, act out. Consequences be damned! (Does swearing count?) What's that quote about well-behaved women not making...

Motivated by Accountability on my iPhone

What you focus on grows. What you measure grows. Truer words could not be spoken when it comes to the heart app on my iPhone. I didn't even know it was there until a few weeks ago when I had lunch with good friends from my Semester at Sea trip who pointed it out...

Flip Sides of the Same Holiday

How busy are you these days? If you're in retail, you're crazed, I'm sure. If you're in a service business...not so much. Everyone is distracted at this time of year--either shopping, feeling guilty about not shopping, worrying about getting it all done or thinking...

The Happiest Woman She Knows

I had the sublime pleasure of being invited to participate on a field trip to Winterthur yesterday organized by a friend in the publishing industry. She generously added me to her guest list which included three additional women, all major players in that field...

How Comfortable is Your Comfort Zone?

On Monday evening, September 29, I'm inviting Remarkable Women to answer that exact question. Is it really comfortable in there, or is it a hiding place and cover story that keeps you from what you really want in life? Several years ago I was coaching a...

Do You Have a Choice?

Within 90 minutes this morning I heard the same sentence uttered by two different women I admire. In each instance, a second party had commented on a lifestyle choice my friend/client had made and remarked, somewhat snarkily, "It's so nice that you have that...

Always Learning

I didn't often read Red Smith's column in the sports section of the NY Times, but on one occasion I was extremely taken by his humility. He wrote something like, "I've been writing about baseball for 30 years, and I think I'm beginning to understand it now."...

Wisdom from My Landlord’s Father

I rent space from Cynthia Overgard, President and CEO of HypnoBirthing CT. She has a warm and welcoming space in an office building well-located in Westport on the Norwalk/Westport line directly across from Whole Foods and Panera Bread and equi-distant between I-95...

Are You a Better Pick-er or Pick-ee?

I gave my first public talk last night about my trip around the world to a joint audience of Living All the Way and Ladies Who Launch members and guests. The response was thrilling, and the feedback extremely helpful. An experience I shared that was particularly...
