Before I post a quote I've heard, I check it out via google for exact wording and reference. This morning, it's been a slippery slope that I am going to shortcut for the sake of getting this online. I heard a quote, attributed to George Bernard Shaw, that hit home...
I committed to my goal buddy that I would do a run-through of my 2/1 coaching lesson for my upcoming Soul Proprietor Community by tomorrow morning at 9am when we check in with each other. Since making that commitment yesterday, I have filed my tax returns, ordered...
There are so many things I love about working with my Mastermind Intensive women business owners. We met all day last Friday, and the excitement in the room was electric. We've been together for 4 months now. Since each meeting starts off with goals met, the...
This will be my final post for 2012. Last week I had planned to blog about a woman business leader I'd read about and post an entry based on an obituary for the man who invented the bar code. But dealing with the overwhelming sadness and shock of the Newtown...
Beverly Ellsley hosted our Artsy Girls holiday event at her sumptuous log cabin in Westport, CT last week. There were nearly 30 of us gathered--all creative women nationally recognized, successfully working in illustration, interior design, toy and game invention,...
My Remarkable Women's Network Come As You'll Be event in Westport last week was a real hit. I want to acknowledge the dozens of courageous women who attended, in costume, for taking a look into the unknown and staking a claim for themselves. As attendees...
Not sure what to call the mother of my daughter's mother-in-law (there is a Yiddish word, but that'd take too much explaining), but she (Vivian) recently recommended her hair stylist to me. I signed up for a 2pm cut with Olga today, arrived early (some things...
Terry Scarborough has been a trusted friend and colleague since we met several years ago when I spoke at an ASID CT event. As a past president, Terry immediately embraced me and helped me to become an Industry Partner, which I remained for several years. I recently...
I've done my homework; created a new vision board to inspire me over the next few years. Here are some teasers to give you a taste of where I'm heading. Anna Deveare Smith, Diana Nyad and Queen Elizabeth are each on my wall now. In addition, I cut out and mounted...
I know this is supposed to be the most joyful season of the year, but wherever I go I hear that it can also be the most challenging. The perfect holiday may be elusive to many. There is a constant pressure around what you’re “supposed to be” doing. Rather than...
I had my own first November coaching session Wednesday afternoon. As a coach myself, I'm a big believer in the coaching relationship. Michele has been my coach for several years now. She's the one person in my professional life where I can let it all hang out and...
The most challenging part of my move to NYC was getting out of my three-year auto lease. My son-in-law told me about Swap-a-lease dot com which gave me a good head-start. I didn't know it was even possible to do such a thing. Registering on Swap-a-Lease and finding...
I've been a believer in vision boards since seeing ones my friends had created come to fruition. I created my first one in 2005 and quickly brought the images to reality. A more recent rendition has taken longer to manifest. You can see some of the images on the...
I had a great send-off by good friends in CT, and a warm welcome from family and friends in NYC. I received MetroCards, guidebooks for non-tourists, flowers and invitations for upcoming events. But this morning, I received the most creative and welcome gift I could...
I just came across this photo of my first 'studio'. You've heard about businesses starting on a kitchen counter or the back of a napkin. Well, take a look here! I started my business using the edge of a counter in our kitchen. My jars of dye were located under my...
