How Can I…?
Funny how the universe works…when I’m paying attention, listening and opening myself up to the messages and lessons I’m meant to hear. Even if it is over and over again! You see, even though I’ve spent many years making personal development a priority in my life and I’ve developed a self-care practice that I know keeps me grounded, AND supports me to live a life I love, I have to admit that sometimes I allow myself to wallow in my old bad habits and tune into noise and distraction rather than to inspiration.

Stepping UP! Beyond Baby Steps…
It’s been 20 months since I was “released” from my job and career of 25 years, and committed to never going back to work for someone else again. And boy, does that scare me. Still. In fact, fear stopped me in my tracks again this month, and it took everything I have learned and know to manage that energy in a way that made it possible for me to grow through that fear rather than shrivel up, fall down and never get up again.

In it he highlighted the story of the success of Bart Connors, Olympic gymnast. Bart Connors had... [Read more]

Last week I was honored to be a guest on my friend Angela Frisby’s new radio show, Real Women Live, at www.w4cy.com, and we enjoyed such lively conversation about “Is that new economy colored PINK?” We talked about all the unique traits that women bring to the table. As women we are naturally empathetic and communicative. We openly share and trust, without the need to control. We embody the new “age of consciousness”. And all of us agreed that we naturally communicate and collaborate more comfortably than men. But I know a few women... [Read more]
What Will You Do To Improve Your “ROL”?
My free subscription to Pink Magazine arrived last month, and while I was browsing I came upon this great new term – ROL. Cynthia Good, Editor & CEO mentioned it in her editorial comment introducing this month’s feature on women business “gurus” that she says help us achieve not only an ROI, but also an ROL. We all know what ROI is, right? At least, those of us who have spent time in the corporate world have heard it often enough. ROI = Return on Investment. Over the years I was taught as a manager never to make a decision without first... [Read more]
