The joys of Monday

For many who work normal 9a-5pm jobs, Mondays are days they groan about having to go back to work. The weekend is over and the serious stuff begins again.  For me, since I work Saturdays seeing clients, I try to make Mondays a day off.  Sometimes I don’t succeed and I’ll schedule a speech or [...]

Check it out–podrunner

I found a cool site called podrunner.net with free workout music downloads.  The music is electronic and techno.  Honestly not my favorite music style but I downloaded a track and put it on my IPOD and listened to it at the gym while on the elliptical trainer.  The track I had was 150 beat per minute [...]

Kudos All Around

First of all I’m giving myself a pat on the back because I managed that emotional trip to see my mom without gaining a pound.  I was afraid to step on the scale when I got  home but I did it and my restraint worked.  I also got some cool feedback from the owner of [...]

Unsubscribing

I was talking with Karen the other day and told her I was reviewing the status of  all the automatic emails that I have been getting.  She agreed it was a good idea for her too so I thought I’d share it here.
Many times we decide to try something like an email newsletter and then [...]

The myth of the quick fix

I’m safely back at home and so happy I made the trip to see my Mom and sister.  The family trips which are not a vacation are an important thing to do.  Often when we are asked to list our priorities, we say family first but then our actions actually put the priority somewhere else.  I know [...]

Sometimes a little bit of nature helps

This will be a quick post because I’m writing from the airport in Chicago, waiting for my flight back to LA which if I’m lucky will begin boarding in about 15 minutes.  As I mentioned I was in Illinois to see my mother who will turn 86 in July.  It is always an emotional trip [...]

Negotiating travel without blowing your plan

Cheers from hot steamy wet Illinois.  Yes all the rivers are flooded here.  If I get a chance I’ll upload a few pix of the flooding!  Yesterday was a travel day for me.  As I write this I am sitting in a Panera Bread Restaurant in Rockford, Illinois–the town I was raised in.  Gotta love [...]

Where do I need to grow or heal?

I am on so many mailing lists for business and personal growth newsletters sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the information that is coming into my mailbox.  The other day, I decided that while I was working on my book (Yes, the automatic writing is turning into a book!) I was just going to delete [...]

Making Headway - Awakening Past Loves

I met Carol Saturday night at the Blue Ridge Pickin Parlor (yes, it really is called that!) to hear Stephanie Bettman’s band sing and play.  I am so glad I went.   You all need to check her out (think Emmy Lou Harris, Alison Krause, Tammy Trent).  They were sooo together, talented, and her songs really [...]
