How Confident Are You?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Go ahead, there’s no wind-up necessary, you can simply answer the question for yourself: “How confident do you feel?” What happens in your body as you answer this? Do you feel some butterflies in your stomach or does your heart skip a few beats? Experience a little hesitancy in your voice? Perhaps you aren’t sure how to [...]

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 [...]

What the Statue of Liberty Teaches Us About Confidence

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Recently I had the privilege of visiting the Statue of Liberty for the first time.  I thought it would be fun, but I wasn’t expecting to be so viscerally moved by Lady Liberty.  As I listened to the history behind her I realized that she has a lot to teach us about confidence, self-esteem, and [...]

What Do You Stand For?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the National Historic Park for Women’s Rights in Seneca Falls, NY.  Here we are standing next to the Declaration of Sentiments monument.

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Today I happened upon this article in The New York Observer entitled: “Beautiful People’ Ooze With Confidence at Overcrowded Paper Magazine Party”.

Michelle Obama is Comfortable in Her Own Skin

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Last weekend I was reading Oprah’s interview with Michelle Obama in O Magazine and just loved the candor of the piece.  Of course my eyes got larger as I read her answer to Oprah’s question “When did you get to be this much of yourself?”. In a phrase near and dear to my heart, Michelle [...]

Dissonance Means You are Close

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Today while I was playing my guitar the perfect metaphor hit me.  Are you feeling full of fear, frustration, and not getting the results you desire right now? Well, you may think you are far off the mark of reaching what you want when all that is needed is the subtlest of shifts to bring [...]

Twisting Offers Perspective and Acceptance

Friday, November 21st, 2008

This week at yoga, we dedicated the class to twisting.  Twisting offers us the chance to take a look at the light while also opening our eyes to the darker side of things.  In one short flow you can shift your perspective a numerous times: I’m upright Oh, now I’m inverted and upsides down Wow [...]
