The subject line of the email dated 1/2/10 read: OH MY GOD...I JUST GOT A LETTER THAT I THOUGHT WAS FROM YOU... and it was from Erica Green, a client who has become a dear friend. In many of my Mastermind and Transitions groups, I have the participants write a...
I've had the good fortune to be in the capable hands of Pauline Sasaki for over 20 years. She is a healing practitioner. Initially I went to her for shiatsu treatments for my aching back. Her technique has grown and changed over the decades we've been working...
I spent the last three days going in and out of New York City for visits with family, attending theatre and shopping. Living only 50 miles from my favorite metropolis makes it an easy commute. Besides having wonderful times during my scheduled activities, I came...
I knew I couldn't pack one more thing into my day Wednesday, so I pulled out a notecard to let interior designer Olga Adler know that as much as I'd love to see her holiday table arrangements at Juliska's flagship store in Stamford, I was going to have to miss it....
The Artsy Girls met last night at the home of Cynthia Steckel, aka Cynthia Victor, author extraordinaire. In addition to the joy of being in each others' company and hearing what great feats these creative women are up to (book contracts, new showrooms opening...
I went out venturing Friday and crossed several bridges on a drive to Brooklyn. I felt like Alice in Wonderland! It's such a great big, energetic and inviting city. I'd been there before, but mostly by subway, which is actually a better alternative given the...
What I love about events like the EWN Holiday Expo this past Monday night is that I can set up my display then stand still while the crowds move around me. It ran from 6 - 9 pm, and I had nothing to do but (wo)man my booth. I enjoy meeting business owners who are...
I received this note card the day before Thanksgiving from a colleague who participated in two of my Mastermind Groups last year. We are both (I'm confident Pam feels this way, too) proud to share Mount Holyoke College alumnae status with Emily Dickinson whose...
It all started when I noticed that my book Soul Proprietor had a different jacket representing it on amazon.com. Then I saw that it was no longer ranked and that copies didn't seem to be available except through resellers. Odd, I thought. What's up? When I called...
I just got off the phone with a client and wanted to share an issue (with her permission) that came up. It has a very familiar ring to it. I know it will benefit many of you, especially with the holiday season upon us. She talked about a closed door on the subject...
Last night over a 100 women came to the Fairfield Museum to be a part of Erica Green's dream event--The Big Connect. Erica shared her idea with me a year ago over lunch at Bloodroot (my favorite vegetarian restaurant). What's so great about her concept is that you...
Anyone who has ever been to Toastmasters knows that public speaking is the #1 fear in the United States ahead of death and spiders. There's something about getting up in front of an audience that fills us with dread. Just last night I was coaching a collective of...
A new client sent me a link to the documentary film by Pamela T. Boll (pictured above) about women who are combining motherhood and creativity called Who Does She Think She Is. I intend to see the film asap for two reasons. I am a fan of anything that encourages...
I've been following Carrie Wittenstein's progress over the last few years. She was in one of my very first Mastermind Groups a few years ago when her dream of a 'nice' community was just a twinkle in her eye. During those early sessions Carrie would bring in logo...
When Jack Canfield, author of The Success Principles, teaches us how to write an affirmation, he's specific. It needs to be in the present tense, positive, brief + several other attributes, and ending with the phrase "or something better." The implication is that...
