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...
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...
I ordered a coat from Bloomingdale's last week to take advantage of their huge winter reductions (thank you, Scarlett DeBease!). When I opened the package I was delightedly surprised to see the enclosed card tucked inside my well-wrapped garment. Of course I had to...
When Meredith Gray, a good friend and Artsy Girl, recommends a video I take it seriously. She's a former magazine editor and fashion stylist. I find her taste level and aesthetic impeccable. She responded to my cry for help from my sickbed last week asking for...
You don't have to be a college student or grad to benefit from the advice in this revised edition of Lindsey's book. Lindsey, for those of you who don't know, is my daughter. She used to come to me for career advice, but the tables have turned. She's my go-to...
I filled out a survey today asking me why I attended the ICF-CT meeting last Friday. Good question. The speaker sounded knowledgeable. This particular meeting was in Norwalk vs. Cromwell, CT (a good hour plus ride for me). I wanted to see some acquaintances I...
One of the enticements I offered attendees of the Remarkable Women's Network event I hosted last week was publicity. I said that I would blog about one participant's new idea for her business in 2012. It wasn't an easy choice, but Debbie Crichton, founder of Art...
At last night's mastermind group, during the first round of sharing successes, photographer Katie Settel took her turn with pride and delight. Her goal had been to photograph Beyonce's new baby. We all supported the dream she had laid out in session 1 (this was our...
You're probably thinking, what does this subject line have to do with entrepreneurship? But, the essence of this question arose yesterday when I received an email from one of my webinar participants inquiring why I'd combined my two groups in one private Facebook...
I had the honor of opening the 2012 season for the National Kitchen and Bath Association's meeting this week with my talk on Creating Your Own Future. It's a goal-setting session with lots of interactivity. After asking participants to dream big, I had them break...
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...
Last Friday night I went to Debra Somerville's photography Studio Opening event in Westport where lots of chic patrons, friends and family helped Debra 'break in' her new space. One of the very cool things about the opening, in addition to Debra's brilliant...
One of the things I love about getting my news now via the Times Reader is that, unlike when I read the paper edition, I'm able to immediately click on the links that are highlighted. Reading an inside scoop about the director of the hit movie "The Help"--Tate...
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...
I am so proud and thrilled for my friend Cookie--aka Marisabina Russo--whose latest book was just featured in the NY Times Book Review on Sunday. It doesn't get any better than that. Cookie and I go way back--to Camp Chinqueka in the 50's--but it was at our...
