I say: YES! YES! YES!

The BIG midterm elections have been stirring up many emotions. I don’t think anyone is feeling especially great these days. Hopeful, but not great. And with the holidays upon us….I’ve been seeing Christmas decor since early October…I’m already...

It’s a habit. And like many other habits, it began as a response, a seemingly reasonable solution to an immediate demand on me. 

I must’ve been in middle school, where the pressure to conform mounts. I began this habit of watering down my potent nature and wearing a mask. Not a...

The late Stephen Covey said, “There are only three constants in life: Change, Choice, and Principles.” Most embrace the idea of principled living and the power of choice. But change? That’s not so easy for us creatures of habit. We quietly (and sometimes, not so quietly) resist...

I grew up in NYC during a time when I was sent out on Saturday mornings, after chores, and expected not to return until I was hungry or needed the facilities…whichever came first. Scores of children could be found outside on my block: roller skating, riding bikes, jumping double-dutch, or...

For years I groped about, trying to put into words the unrest I felt in some of my interactions with people, and even in areas of my life.

Naïvely, I thought that it was simply the function of being young and trying to figure myself and the world out. As I grew older, and dare I say wiser, I...

A colleague asked me, “What does the next level of your business look like?”

We were attending a business conference and…had just met. Though I was uncomfortable, I wasn’t offended. (Accountability is a tenet of this conference’s culture.)

So, I paused to lean into...

A year ago, I began this blog for a number of reasons. I wanted to give voice to the ideas that were rolling around in my head, to reveal the musings that I needed to see in print, and to share the life and business lessons that I thought were too good to keep to myself. (Read my very first post...

Tell me…am I the only one?

Have you ever had so many things swarming in your head that you felt as if your brain was in a bottleneck? Like midtown Manhattan at 5:15PM on a weekday--complete gridlock.

It looks a little like this: You’re coordinating several critical projects for...

What is your genius?

You see, I believe there is genius in every person.

Sometimes when I make that statement, people nod absentmindedly, seeming to wonder, What kind of woo-woo idea is she espousing? There’s only one Einstein!

 But even Einstein shared this view. He said,

"Everybody...

Although my husband and I will celebrate twenty-one years of marriage at the end of this month, about 16 years ago, I fell in love with someone else.

More accurately, I fell in love with a place which almost upon arrival became my happy place. I’m talking about an island off the coast of...

Two quotes and Performance Day at sleep away camp. No, it’s not a new sitcom…these sparked today’s post.

Let me explain.

A few weeks ago, I heard two quotes in a couple of interviews that’ve been gnawing at my soul ever since…they SO resonated with me.

"Comparison...

For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with a struggle about which I’ve been somewhat silent. Remember that 14-day detox that I mentioned? Well, it uncovered some…issues (allergic reactions) that have been expressing themselves all over my body. And nothing I try seems to...
