Someone asked me today if there'd been a full moon (it was full, huge and beautiful last night), because the atmosphere felt fraught with unpleasantness. I knew what she meant. I've been experiencing some push-back and hearing tales from others that it's choppy...
I'm back! The most significant takeaway from my wonderful trip to Mexico and California was that for the entire week at Rancho La Puerta I was fully present and never thought about home, work, responsibilities, finances, 2012 or anything other than what I was...
I know. I can hear you all thanking me for being your role model for extreme self-care. I told my coach the other day that I feel like I'm in the Olympics of self-care these days. I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for a week at a resort. I do have some...
Last Friday night I went to Debra Somerville's photography Studio Opening event in Westport where lots of chic patrons, friends and family helped Debra 'break in' her new space. One of the very cool things about the opening, in addition to Debra's brilliant...
My walk at the beach this morning yielded not only a great workout with a friend, but also a topic for today's post. My co-walker talked about forking over $50+ a month to keep her website alive hoping for a few eyeballs to visit it every month. "Have there been...
I had invited a friend from NYC to have dinner with me one evening several months ago. We spoke earlier in the day to nail down her arrival time at the Westport train station. She said, "I'm not really accomplishing anything now because I'm already in 'leaving'...
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...
When I signed up for the Meet the Editors event at Miraval Spa in Tucson last June, I had no idea how well-timed this getaway retreat would be. These last few weeks have been intensely full and productive with my recent free webinar and subsequent sell-out of the...
"Oh, hello Oprah. Yes, can I call you back? I'm in the middle of my Come As You'll Be event." I explained to the assembled superstars at my networking event that now, in the year 2016, I have limited my coaching practice to the most successful women entrepreneurs...
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...
My son Rob first told me about Warby Parker a couple of years ago when I admired his cool eyeglass frames. What I remembered was that they cost under $100 including the lenses. Unheard of! I also remembered that it was a by-appointment-only shop in NYC, so that was...
On a coaching call today the topic of setting limits came up, especially with children living at home. I told my client that when I began practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) almost 20 years ago, my instructor provided me with a sign to hang on the doorknob of...
I ended up in the dentist's chair at 7am this morning for a repair on a tooth that chipped. Turns out I need a crown, but hadn't scheduled enough time for the whole shebang this morning. Nonetheless, I was a quivering mass of jello in Dr. Klein's office. I said to...
It amazes me how my energy shifts from Labor Day Monday to back-to-work/school Tuesday. The last week of August and the days before the holiday weekend crawl. And then BOOM! It's business as usual, as though nothing has ever been other than business as usual. I've...
I recently started working with a wonderful woman who came to me for life coaching, not business coaching. She is figuring out what's next for her, and it clearly isn't what she's been doing for the last several years--putting everyone else's needs first. I...
