Whenever I visit my parents I love going through my old boxes of memorabilia and photos. I find notes I passed in middle school, love letters to my latest crush, and polaroids of my girl posse in legwarmers and bandanas. I also skim through my notebook/journal from my early 20’s when I lived in a…
Contrary to popular belief, I’m not convinced you’ve gotta spring out of bed at 5am to be “the best version of you.” I also don’t believe you need to meditate, journal, stand on your head, jog four miles, visualize yourself in skinny jeans, recite mantras, and scribe your goals all before you enjoy a cup…
It was THE best.I threw open the doors to see my entire second-grade class running around, high on milkshakes, and snorting french fries.Swirly slides, jumping pit, and a table full of gifts stacked three feet high.It was the be-all-end-all soiree, none other than the once-in-a-childhood McDonald’s birthday bash. Before you judge, back then there were no…
I recently had an epiphany.Our foyer desperately needs wallpaper.Like, how could we have gone this long with barren walls? Why didn’t any of our friends tell us how sub-par our entrance was? Has the UPS guy been traumatized for years by this ghastly oversight?It is my new obsession.Soooo, as I sat down yesterday with my…
“What is that?“My hubby did a double-take as he walked by my 16-year-old’s room.“What?” as if my son had no idea what he was talking about.There he lay with a brand new flat screen tv propped up on a folding table at the end of his bed.“Oh that. Mom said I could get anything I want.”Let’s…
I didn’t suck up enough. I didn’t hang around the right people. I didn’t play the political game. That’s what I told myself when I got passed up for a promotion. Before starting my biz I spent 12 years in marketing and advertising agencies working on multi-million dollar accounts with companies like Amex, Mercedes, and…
Not too long ago prior to a speaking event, I spent hours perfecting my slides. Actually it was more like days. Seriously, I spent painstakingly long agonizing colors and line spacing. I made slews of changes perfecting text and images. Which of course meant I neglected some of my other important work at that time….
It’s hard to make sense of one heartbreaking crisis after another.No surprise you might be feeling more anxiety than ever.Which is why I want to address two simple ways to truly ground yourself.I use these myself and with my clients during “normal times” and they’re even more needed.HEADS UP: They are easy which means they…
“I know what I need to do, but it just doesn’t seem to get done.” I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about managing demands and priorities. Chances are you know what you need to accomplish too. Those emails, that presentation, this form. But the day flies by and you’re kicking yourself for barely…
I might be more introverted than I thought. Although I totally miss socializing, I’m enjoying my time at home. I think it’s because life is simpler. Not running around like a crazy person, from event to activity to meeting to place, morning until evening. Also, as I get older I’m more selective about how I…
