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...
Last night I had dinner with my Mastermind Group. I capitalize it because it's that important in my life. We've been together for over 20 years although the membership has shifted some. Doesn't matter. Every significant growth step in my business is a direct result...
During a conversation today with my good friend Doreen Birdsell, she gave me a quote I had to ask her permission to use. She has a way of saying things that strikes a chord in me. Especially today's! We were talking about her art/photography that is on display and...

I got to tag along with my daughter Lindsey last week when she was a featured speaker at the Joe Connolly-CBS Business Breakfast in Mahwah, NJ. In my humble opinion, she was the star of the panel on "How to Use Social Media, Etc." I was extremely proud of her as...
I heard this on the radio today, then found the original post on The High Calling dot org. by Howard E. Butt, Jr Joseph and Noah McVicker invented a substance to clean wallpaper. It was soft, pliable, durable. Trouble was, no one wanted it. And the McVickers set...
