Is This Legal?

My next coaching community call will be on December 6, and the topic is Remember What it Was Like to Work for Someone Else. As I was pondering this subject matter, a scene from Kramer vs. Kramer popped into my head. It's when Dustin Hoffman sits down with a yellow...

Who Said You Have to Crawl?

My physical therapist*, that's who! I told my weekly support team that I've been spending five minutes a day crawling around the gym in my building to re-align my back and that it was working beautifully. I've been feeling terrific and wanted to share it with them....

What Can You Let Go of Today?

Preparing for my Soul Proprietor Community call recently I included words from Ecclesiastes (aka Simon and Garfunkel's Turn, Turn, Turn) which says, "there is a time to refrain from embracing." We live in such a to-do culture that when things aren't happening fast...

Oprah Defined My Mission for Me

Why re-invent the wheel when Oprah put it into words for me?  Two sentences in the recent edition of O Magazine fit me to a T. It's my dream to encourage other people to connect the dots of spirituality for themselves, to recognize the fullness of their being and...

A Mastermind Group Wherever YOU Are

The first person to sign up for my virtual Mastermind Group lives on Martha's Vineyard. She's been a client of mine before and appreciates being connected with other women entrepreneurs who are on a mission, as she is. It had been virtually impossible for her to...

How Do YOU Spell S-U-P-P-O-R-T?

I had a glorious 24 hours with my Mastermind Intensive group Sunday-Monday. We gathered at a member's home the afternoon of the 8th to create vision boards, have a potlluck and reunite after the summer. I was as much a guest as everyone else, basking in the warmth...

Gloria Estefan – Entrepreneur

My Soul Proprietor Community meets this Friday at noon (EDT), and the topic is Thou Shalt Not Do It All Thyself. I'm a huge proponent of delegating and love converting women business owners particularly to the skill set of letting go and trusting others to help...

Do All Females React This Way?

I vividly remember Dr. Julie White report on studies of female behavior in an audio series I listened to years ago, especially this morning in a moment of self-doubt. When given an insoluble puzzle to complete, the women involved in the study blamed...

Talk About Creative!

I've never invested in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), but when I heard about the newest version of CSA - Community Support Art, I've reconsidered. Begun in Minnesota and now spreading throughout the country, these organizations are bringing art to local...

Some Macrobiotic Irony

I left for my annual Kushi Conference this afternoon--4 days in Basking Ridge, NJ with like-minded people being served delicious vegetarian fare, attending lectures, cooking classes and social events in a peaceful, offsite location. Since giving up my car when I...

How Do You Show Up in the Heat?

I wanted to show a new friend and colleague the entrepreneurial community I recently joined. It was a 10 block walk from where we'd had lunch. After 3 blocks she paused and asked if I would mind if she reneged on the decision to visit In Good Company. The heat was...

Transform Your Vision – a Simple How-To in 301 Words

Need a touch of inspiration? I wasn't looking for that particular brand of motivation when I headed out to the Brooklyn Museum and the highly touted El Anatsui exhibit there. But it's certainly what I left with. A Ghanaian sculptor working in traditional media like...

Bette Midler – Still Divine

My sister Meredith and I celebrate our birthdays in July, but decided to jump the gun by a few days in order to see Bette Midler's performance in I'll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers, which closed yesterday. What a thrill! Bette performed the part of the...

I Can’t Believe She Said That

There's a page in the current issue of MORE magazine called Notebook: Culture for Clued-In Women. There's a quote that I want to share with you. I wish that someone had told me that my own sense of unease about whether I really belonged was shared by everyone in...
