This can be such a touchy subject, especially around corporate circles but I’ve got to put it out there… Nothing makes me edgier than hearing about loving yourself and nothing is more essential to creating a fulfilling life than loving yourself. What a huge pain in the “a”. I’m great at being nice to everyone …

I conduct workshops to help people overcome the fear of speaking up aka stage fright. Although in my mind (and experience) stage fright is so much more than the fear of presenting in front of others. When you really have this issue you have a big fear of being in the spotlight, of being judged, …

With each new year I take more and more time to self-reflect and assess. One thing I’ve realized since my late 40′s is that issues that aren’t fixed don’t go away, they get worse until you HAVE to look at them. What’s your foundation look like? I was watching “Rehab Addict” the other day and …

We all know that chaos can hit at any time whether we’re prepared or not. Last year, Hurricane Sandy left her mark with an unprecedented show of fury. Storms make me think of how chaos can strike at any time. When it comes to our careers it can hit without warning but more times than …

It’s almost the new year, are you having any fun lately? Everyone feels that the times have gotten more toxic. I’m not so sure.

“Simple but not Easy” is a term I’ve not only been hearing a lot lately but been using myself. It refers to things like: “Change your thoughts, change your life” – simple but not easy “Like attracts Like” – simple but not easy “Eat right, workout, lose weight” – simple but not easy “Little problem …

This year I decided to grow some vegetables out on our small balcony. Since I’ve only lived in apts/condos since leaving for college at 17, gardening hasn’t been high on my to do list. I started with a small investment. $2.00 to be exact for 4 tiny tomato plants and 4 tiny pepper plants, I …

The lights were low and the funky candlelit procession of performers began winding their way slowly through the audience. It was cool but pretty eerie. Certainly not Barnum and Bailey and like nothing …

The other day I was talking with my husband in the car and I, in my most loving manner, said, “Geez, you got some issues.” To which he replied, “Yeah, I’m a hoarder. I hoard my issues.” Now, that got me thinking. I have to admit that I loved watching Clean House’ Search for the …
