Do You Stop for Beauty?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

As you’re racing about your day, do you stop for beauty when you see it?  The proverbial “stop and smell the roses”? It may sound trivial, but if you want to feel alive and confident in your business then it pays to hit the breaks, take a detour, and gaze at cool stuff once in [...]

Hiring a Personal Trainer – Confidence Builder or Killer?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

So last week I joined a new gym and this week I hired a personal trainer.  Yes it shocked even me.  Not because it’s not my thing, but because I am already a  consistent, disciplined exerciser.  I love to exercise and am a 5-6 day a week person (or more) consistently, all the time, rain [...]

5 Steps to a More Meaningful Holiday

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Holidays can be crazy times.  The weeks leading up to it can be a frenzy of additional things to do on top of already busy schedules. Yet, no matter what holidays you celebrate this time of year, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, or simply celebrating the turning of the year, the whole point is for it [...]

The REAL Reason We Skip Self-Care

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

This weekend I had the privilege of speaking at the Bucks County Day for All Women event on the topic of Self Care as a Priority to Succeed.  You see, we blow off self-care as being unimportant but that is like saying the foundation of your building doesn’t matter.  Eventually it’ll leave you in the [...]

Do You Mistakenly Associate Self-Care with Luxury?

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Have you ever thought about an act of self-care as being just a little too luxurious?  Maybe the thought of going on vacation fully disconnected from the wired world and your job/business as something of an unachievable luxury?  Moments of quiet in a busy day, time to relax, have fun, exercise, and just drink deep [...]

Give Your Family a Gift: Blogging for LGBT Families Day

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

When I coach people around self-care their initial reaction is “but I can’t because I’ll feel guilty, and my kids need me, and my partner needs me…”. Then I ask – But if you don’t take care of YOU, how will you have anything to give them?
Women especially feel extra guilty about taking time [...]

The Joy of Puppy Love

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

I am dyed in the wool cat person. It’s not that I don’t like dogs, I really do. Some of them have really won their way into my heart. At the end of the day, though, I am all about felines and can think of nothing better than a cat to curl up [...]

The Joy of Connecting

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Over the last few weeks I have really had a great time connecting and re-connecting with great people in my life. It is funny but I used to think that connecting with others had to look a certain way. It had to be a quantity thing or a close proximity thing or even a [...]
