A Really Good Day

On my way home from a look-see in NJ on Monday, I experienced a profound sense of joy. It was a combination of moments that added up to a burst of feeling in my body that I wanted to embrace and explore. Here are the elements that composed that exquisite awareness:...

Getting Ready for Tonight

I'm excited to be hosting my 17th Remarkable Women's Network event this evening at Alfya's Skin Care Salon in New Canaan. I met Alfya when she was a Master Aesthetician at Noelle, the Day Spa in Stamford. In Alfya's trusted hands, I was transported from mom,...

Super Intern Networking

What business owner wouldn't feel blessed to have 20 ready-to-work-for-you 20-somethings lining up for face time? That was the premise of an event I attended on Monday night at BeSpoke restaurant in New Haven--an elegant venue with excellent service. Brilliantly...

Another Vision Becoming A Reality

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...

Oooh! Shiny!

My client, Debra Hamilton who is a brilliant mediator with a special interest in animals, participated in the Annual AKC Dog Show recently held in New York City. During our call yesterday she used a phrase I'd never heard, "Oooh! Shiny!" referring to a new area of...

Second Post of the Day – Ronnie Ann Ryan Rocks!

Ronnie Ann Ryan, aka The Dating Coach, came to my Remarkable Women's Network event last Tuesday night well prepared. (Ronnie is in the light turquoise on the right end of row 2.) She has put together a 5-day virtual expo called Dating for Keeps which she...

Where to Find Martha (Stewart) and Denise DiGrigoli

In response to my blog post on Monday, the brilliant and creative Denise DiGrigoli, owner of Troy Fine Art Services, Inc., came rushing into my Remarkable Women's Network event Tuesday evening exclaiming, "I've got something to show you!" Denise had written me a...

Resentments, Anyone?

Check if this feels familiar: A company owed me a check for the books they had sold during a speaking engagement. I had anticipated receiving that money a few days after the event. Now it was closer to a few weeks and still no check. My resentment was rising. I had...

An Interesting Twist on the Delegating Issue

We as business owners all know that the way to capitalize on our resources is to spend our time doing the tasks we do best and delegating the rest. When I was new and young in my business I did it all: data entry (handwriting names on 3x5 cards), producing the...

BlogHer ’10 – After the Event

My head is still spinning from the informational overload, excitement, new relationships and possibilities opened as a result of attending this spectacular conference in NYC last week. I want to offer my own session next year called something like, "So you're...

What Laura Learned

My younger daughter Laura, to whom my book Soul Proprietor is dedicated, helped me out this week by listening to the soon-to-be-released audio version of the book. Line by line, she read the text while listening to the recording I'd spent the last couple of months...

Illusion, I Mean Perception, is Everything

Two-hundred and fifty women received a  postcard mailing from me last week announcing my upcoming summer Remarkable Women's Network events. It had the image you see here on the face of it taken at my March 15 event held at Boardroom in Stamford, CT. Only women who...

Connect Like Lucy Does

I've talked about Lucy Hedrick on many occasions, but her re-entry to Connecticut this season prompts another side of Lucy I'd like to share.  Enviably, Lucy spends over six months a year as a snowbird in Sarasota, FL, taking her writing and book proposal coaching...

Before I Go To Jail

My daughter Laura and I leave for Danbury prison early this morning (it's 5:49am as I write this). I'm unsure of what will happen at the job fair I've agreed to speak at, but anticipating a valuable learning opportunity. I'm going with an open mind, open heart and...

The Pricing Issue…Again

I don't like to be misled. Like I was when I grabbed a mesh bag containing four avocados at Trader Joe's Sunday morning. I saw the RIPE label on the skin and thought, "Great! I'll use these tomorrow to make that salad I love." When I got home and cut the avocados...
