When I spoke for the Women's Council of Realtors in September, I gave out three copies of my CD How I Got on the Today Show to winners of the Networking Bingo game we played. One of the recipients, Birgit Anich, took the time to send me not only a beautifully...
He said so, as quoted in the New York Times, when recently interviewed by Oprah at a benefit event held at Lincoln Center last week. Why do I love reading those words? It makes me feel connected to greatness. It makes me feel normal for having the same feelings. It...
I'm thrilled to report that my first free webinar last week attracted over 50 participants and that every space available for my upcoming program sold. In my own business and the businesses of my colleagues, and what I see in the world at large, we must keep trying...
I'm beyond excited about presenting my free webinar tonight. Those of you who've been following this journey--I started taking classes on how to do this whole thing back in July--have heard me whining, listened to my starts and stops and are now witnessing my...
I'm thoroughly enjoying the biography of Wendy Wasserstein written by Julie Salamon. I've always felt a special connection because we were in the same Theatre 145 class at Mount Holyoke College in 1967. Also, we shared a mutual friend in Aimee Garn who is quoted...
There was a sign posted in the lobby of my building this summer advertising "Yoga by the Pool at 8:30am Saturday mornings." I took note of it and thought, "I'd like to go, but I have a standing activity at that time on Saturday mornings." Two weeks later, I passed...
I rely heavily on Scarlett De Bease of Scarlett New York for advice on my wardrobe. She's created a look-book for me, which means that every time I need to go out in public and look presentable, I have a photographic album of outfits Scarlett has assembled for me...
I had the pleasure of attending Linda Urbach's reading at the Westport Public Library on Thursday night. Linda is the author of a delightful new novel: Madame Bovary's Daughter, which is the adventurous tales of Berthe Bovary, daughter of the infamous Flaubert...
I'm sure this finds many of you digging out from under, bailing out your basements or, like I was earlier today, searching for power and a shower. The Westport Public Library was closed. I got hopeful when I saw many folks spread out on the stone picnic tables with...
I'm not a pop culture fiend, but have found myself immersed (albeit delinquently) in Project Runway. As an ardent patron of the public library system, I recently found dvd's of the first four seasons of that show. I know I'm light years behind those in the know. I...
I'm spending a few days attending the Kushi Institute Annual Macrobiotic Conference (my 4th) and learning a bunch of new things. Well, not actually learning them for the first time, but in a state of readiness and openness to try on a new behavior after hearing...
My son mentioned last week, when I invited him to jump in my pool during his visit to CT, that he hates to swim. How did I miss that fact? Back when he was a baby, there was a theory that if you threw an infant into a pool, its instincts would have it stroking the...
Stick with me here on this train of thought-- On Wednesday I attended a lecture by two wellness coaches that focused specifically on what we feed our bodies. In addition to advice on increasing our vegetable intake, there was emphasis on entirely omitting sugar and...
An unexpected package arrived at my door today...from a floral company. The return label revealed nothing about the sender. For a few glorious minutes I wracked my brain for who might be sending me a bouquet. My birthday is next week (July 4 for anyone who wants to...
It still turns my stomach to read the rejection letter I received from a major bookseller when I sent them the new edition of Soul Proprietor last May. For those of you who are thinking of self-publishing, and also for those of you who have ever given up after a...
