updated on

The holidays are upon us and along with decorating, shopping and baking cookies comes a tremendous amount of unwanted STRESS! It’s the most beautiful time of the year and we are filled with STRESS!!! Some of it is about getting everything done in the time we have to do it; but there is a much bigger, silent cause of stress going on that we may not even be aware of.

STOP SPINNING IN CIRCLES & GET OFF THAT HAMSTER WHEEL!

updated on

I was driving home from work the other night at 5:30pm and suddenly a bird smashed into my windshield. Of course it shocked me and then I felt terrible for that little bird. The clocks had turned back one hour and it was the first evening that it was dark at that time. A friend explained to me that the bird’s internal clocks would still be the same, so he wasn’t used to as much traffic being on the road at that time. Perhaps. Or…. As many of you know I love symbolism; and if a bird smashing into my …

LISTENING TO YOUR “MIND CHATTER” IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO

updated on

I have desperately needed new bedroom furniture for years, literally YEARS. I still had my childhood chest of drawers that followed me from Brooklyn to New York City to Los Angeles to Westchester. It was falling apart (although furniture was much better quality back then – it was my mother’s before it was mine!) and I had a few other pieces that had followed me around to both coasts. My bedroom didn’t feel like a place of soft luxury; it felt like it was just holding place for my stuff. It didn’t feel relaxing to go to bed; it just …

SYNCHRONICITIES – HIDDEN POWERFUL LEADERSHIP GROWTH LESSONS

updated on

Recently three people showed up over an hour late to different appointments with me – a business appointment, meeting a friend for dinner, meeting someone for a cocktail. The strange thing was…it happened all in one week. It got me wondering…when people are late it is not as huge a trigger for me as it is for others. I usually have something else to do with me, so that I am not sitting there idly just staring into space. Or I use the opportunity to make new friends. I always have something to do or work on.

updated on

I used to think I had this really special skill. I had a Superpower, I could go Invisible – not literally but in a sense I could fade into the background and become the fly on the wall, the listener. I could take in everyone around me and know all their strengths and weaknesses while never revealing my own. I thought this was powerful. I thought: “I have a Superpower they don’t know about. I can do this thing. I can be Invisible.” While some of these aspects are good skills to possess, (like being an excellent listener) the overall …
