I arrived at the D&D Building in NYC this afternoon armed with a large tote bag filled with pillows not knowing exactly how this adventure would go. I had committed to take images of my handmade designs in decorative settings and thought the D&D Building...
I first read the story of the man and the flood in Bernie Siegel's inspiring book Love, Medicine & Miracles (1986). For anyone who doesn't know this famous tale, a man is on his roof as the floodwaters begin to rise. Someone in a wooden boat rows by and offers...
I couldn't have scripted yesterday any better, a perfect NYC day for this citizen, both professionally and personally. First thing in the morning I completed work on a retreat I'm leading next week -- I'll write more about that after it's over--knowing that I had...
Maria Scrivan called me giddy with laughter six months ago when the title of my memoir, Too Much of Not Enough, was announced. "You won't believe this!" she said, although I always have my ear to the ground for the Universe's creative miracles of coincidence. "I...
Nearly 20 women joined me on Monday night to craft their visions for the near future. The spirit was joyful and productive as, after I'd lectured on the process and its merits, those present spread open their collected magazines and began allowing images and words...
I was sold on the concept of vision boards, dream or treasure maps, whatever you want to call them, since I first heard about them over a decade ago. I believe in the Law of Attraction - that you draw into your life what you think about. When I was looking to get a...
I follow the breadcrumbs in my life. I was feeling stuck last week after writing another chapter of my memoir. Now what? Where do I go from here? What's my theme? Will anybody care? Fortunately, I had had a conversation with a friend last Sunday who mentioned a...
I couldn't have chosen a better book to read this week before my Soul Proprietor Community topic call: Allow the Universe to Manifest than Lisa Jones' Art of Living Happy - After the Loss of a Loved One: A Real-Life Awakening. Once I opened the volume, I couldn't...
It felt a little weird telling my newest client that something she just said made SPANX come to mind. Let me back up a second. During my coach training sessions several years ago, we soon-to-be-coaches were instructed and encouraged to blurt out whatever popped...
I heard this on the radio today, then found the original post on The High Calling dot org. by Howard E. Butt, Jr Joseph and Noah McVicker invented a substance to clean wallpaper. It was soft, pliable, durable. Trouble was, no one wanted it. And the McVickers set...
No doubt you've heard the saying that when you point the finger at someone else, there are three others pointing back at you. May I tell you how much I hated that adage? I far preferred to place the blame on anyone but moi. Me, wrong? Can't be! I was fueled by...
I've just begun listening to My Beloved World by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and am already enthralled. I wanted to share a quote from the preface that I believe will engage you and make you want to read this volume as well: The idea of my becoming a...
I concluded my Soul Proprietor Community call on Friday by giving the group the homework assignment to read (or listen to) the legendary Acres of Diamonds story first popularized by Russell Conwell a hundred years ago. Every time I hear that true account, I'm...
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...
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...
