My move to NYC has vaguely resembled my first birth experience. Before my eldest was born, I threw myself into a study of pregnancy, the birth process and breastfeeding via reading, enrolling in Lamaze classes and attending La Leche League meetings. I was...
My father, who was in retail for most of his career, wrote a book called the Savvy Shopper. He had been a department store executive and knew the ins and outs of how to get the best price on anything. My siblings and I still rib each other when asking how much...
My goal buddy, Sandy, and I re-connected this week after my July hiatus. It felt great to begin committing my plans to a like-minded woman entrepreneur. I'm so excited about my upcoming Mastermind Intensive being offered to the women I've worked with in the past. I...
While the Hillshire Farms booth at the BlogHer '12 trade show booth may have appealed to the "mommy bloggers" who outnumbered every other blogging genre in attendance, it was Martha Stewart's tasteful, organized office products set-up that won my attention. Her...
I called Katie Settel today to ask her why she signed up for my fall Remarkable Women Mastermind Intensive. I knew she'd be an outstanding contributor to the group as she recently made a huge leap in her business. Katie took out a lease in an old factory in...
There's a spiritual principle: when you begin to give what you think you are missing, you stop missing it. I'm putting that into practice on a business level. I so want to be around women who are passionate about what they do that I've created a format that I wish...

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...
My marketing director took me out to lunch yesterday for a planning session. How cool does that sound? I've been working with this woman-owned company for over a year now. They specialize in helping other women-owned businesses get the word out about their...
I met with a group of women business owners recently, where one participant whom I know and adore, shared a challenge about how crazy-busy she is. She felt frantic and incapable of prioritizing. The proverbial fires were all burning equally in her arena. Taking...
On my drive from Tucson, where the retreat was held en route to the airport in Phoenix, I saw a spectacular rainbow--in Arizona! Over the desert. Not what you'd expect. That pretty much sums up my fabulous experience at Miraval with 100+ MORE readers plus the...
I'm thrilled to report that my first free webinar last week attracted over 50 participants and that every space available for my upcoming program sold. In my own business and the businesses of my colleagues, and what I see in the world at large, we must keep trying...
...will be a future Nobel Peace Prize winner! Yes! At my Come As You'll Be event I will be host to the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Currently, she is a client of mine whose passion is leading mission trips to third world countries. She's been to Haiti several...
