BlogHer ‘10 Recap

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

This week I am back from the BlogHer ‘10 conference in New York City. For me the weekend was a study in contrasts.  Unlike BlogHer ‘09 where I was a speaker, this time I simply planned on drinking in the experience without any specific time commitments. Last year I was stoked to be social; this [...]

Are You Waiting for Someday?

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Have you ever talked about something you would really like to do or the type of person you’d like to be and then added the words -well, maybe someday” to the end of it?

Celebrating a True Act of Courage

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Sometimes we go through our days and forget to truly celebrate moments that have been turning points. Sometimes these are points along a continuum, part of the great big ripple effect that makes you who you are. Today I celebrate one of those days. You see June 26th would have been my parent’s [...]

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Life Lessons from the Movie Up

Friday, April 9th, 2010

It took me long enough to finally watch the movie Up but I have to say that not only did I love it, it just oozes with life lessons that are incredibly relevant, particularly these days when everything can seem so complex and confusing.  Fundamentally living a rich life doesn’t have to be hard, we [...]

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.
It was an inspiring few hours there.  To be in the space and energy of what women throughout history have done to stand up for [...]
