I had the privilege of speaking for the Litchfield County Women's Network last Wednesday night, one of those pouring rainy nights we seem to have had so many of lately. I was a tad grumpy coming in after a long drive, but the mood of the room and the warmth of the...
At the urging of my own personal mastermind group (thank you, Mary, Brenda and Val), I began blogging three years ago this month. At the time it felt like yet another thing to do, another check box on the list. Not quite drudgery, but I couldn't see the point....
We had a wonderful turnout at my first-ever Boston area event held at the beautiful Chestnut Hill Eileen Fisher store. I love bringing together Remarkable Women, and this group was no exception. We had women in travel, communications, catering, financial education,...
Katie Settel, of Katie Settel Photography, and I spent a few hours at Calf Pasture Beach on Friday. I need to update my social media images and love the way Katie has captured shots at my Remarkable Women's Network events for me. While Katie was selecting...
...and 600 others was held at the Hartford Downtown Marriott yesterday and focused on the Econo-ME. Kristin Andree graciously extended the invitation to me and two other colleagues whom I was thrilled to meet: Dena Castricone, President of CABO and Trisha Gallagher...
I had to actually cut this image out of my AARP magazine issue this month to see, if indeed, the two shades of gray (A + B) were, as claimed, the same. They are. What changes our perception is that big green cylinder casting a shadow.The point of the illusion is...
My friend Doreen mentioned a sign she noticed while seated in a public space. After reading it, she did a double-take. It was a fire exit by the door whose message she immediately re-framed. As a business owner, she knows how critical it is to Keep Clear At All...

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,...
I'm in Washington, DC attending the Smithsonian Craft Show, a mecca event for this country's artists. One of my clients is exhibiting here for the first time, and I came to see her and her new work. Liz Alpert Fay, textile artist extraordinaire, designed an elegant...

In addition to baseball, another national pastime that I'm keenly aware of is comparing ourselves to others. Or, more particularly, comparing our entrepreneurial successes (or lack thereof) to others. It's actually the 'lack thereof' I specifically want to...
