The Enterprising Women conference I spoke at on Wednesday was inspiring from the get-go. Lynn Robinson, pictured here, was the opening keynote speaker. She addressed the topic of using intuition in business in a way that underscored every belief I've ever had and...
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 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...
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...
Never have truer words been spoken! On Friday, July 8 at 4:09pm, my daughter Lindsey gave birth to Chloe Elizabeth, her and Evan's first child, my first grandchild. All other accomplishments fall by the wayside. Birth is a miracle, and being a witness...
If you haven't bought Tina Fey's new #1 bestselling book yet, don't wait! As soon as I read the NYTimes review a couple of weeks ago I placed my order (I know, very old-fashioned) and waited for the Wells Fargo wagon to deliver it. I was not disappointed. I read...
One of my clients is in that long, dark hallway that seems to lengthen and dim as a huge deadline draws near. She has been relentlessly working toward her vision. Opening day is soon. Her gremlins have formed choruses and are serenading her hourly. "She" is...
While I did skip a few classes at InfusionCon, I made sure to be in a front row seat for Brian Tracy's afternoon keynote on Wednesday. He's a hero of mine. I listened to his audio programs (on tape!) repeatedly when I was sitting in my art studio for hours on end...
Leigh Scott attended my Create Your Own Future retreat three year ago this month. During that event, we had a Come As You'll Be activity projecting forward five years from the present. That night Leigh presented herself as the successful author of a book on...
Just back from meeting someone new for coffee and recognized a theme in our conversation. This wonderful woman entrepreneur had a great idea. She had found a location to house her concept that absolutely lit her up. The cost of it was discouraging, but we talked...
I met with a couple of women yesterday to compare notes on how we're using social media. It's a forum for discussing challenges and raising questions, plus some show and tell. It was only the second session for this evolving group; the format hasn't standardized...
I have three vision boards on my wall, one of which focuses on lifestyle desires I have. There are images of aqua-blue lap pools, vineyards and women in varying degrees of joy. There are also a few pictures of women assuming yoga postures, like the one above. Yoga...
Hilary Bunger. As I was taking a long walk this morning, I was reminiscing a distant past Thanksgiving morning and an early trip to Stew Leonard's where I had ventured to pick up a needed grocery item. Half of Fairfield County used go to Stew's on that holiday...
My client's subject line in her email to me was--You won't believe it! But she was wrong. After listening to Earl Nightingale's gold-record-winning tape called The Strangest Secret many years ago, I've become a believer. I'm never surprised when I hear that what...
When Meredith Gray (not that Meredith Gray) received a diagnosis that she had breast cancer for the second time, rather than dive under the covers to hide, she mobilized into action to deal with her illness. She documented her process and progress in a brand new...
