Wow!  It’s incredible to see the new shows on television!  I guess you could say Biggest Loser may have paved the way, the arrival of Oxygen’s Dance Your A** Off and Fox’s More to Love signal the arrival of more real sizes on TV!  Now what you think of these shows is another story…
I watched [...]

I continue to be inspired by the idea that we can all contribute in some way to the health of our world through social and self responsibility.  We must first take action to guard our own health – our greatest asset.  Ideas are wonderful, but implementation is key! 
Strive to reach “The Basics” this summer for [...]

It’s a year today since my Yorkie, Champagne passed.  Such an interesting roller coaster of emotions over the past year.  More so this spring as the weather got nice – before all the rain – how I missed sitting on the stoop with her watching the world go by.
The five stages of grief was first [...]

Why is it so challenging for women to use their voices?  While I’m sure there are a zillion reasons, the truth is, if you don’t use your voice, life can be frustrating, mismanaged and misunderstood. 
It takes a great deal of courage to speak and set boundaries, ask for needs to be met or ask for [...]

I love June 1st!  A great day to put together summer goals! 
Try two lists - professional and personal - KEEP IT SIMPLE! 
For your professional list, strive to move beyond your comfort zone whether you are still working or not.  Take a course, meet with colleagues, talk with others in your field.  It’s easy to get “stuck” in the same [...]

This past week, my mother and [...]

There is nothing more pure than being honest with yourself.
I am in a 5 day training program with Christine Schenk which is absolutely incredible.  The blending of your physical body and energy body for a more unified couplehood.
The bottom line.  No squiggle room.  No excuses.  No negotiating.  You must stand up for yourself and know [...]

There are days when life goes incredibly fast and others when you feel you have room to rest and breathe for a moment.  The secret is, have you adjusted your speed?
Living in New York one can’t help but enjoy (if not be addicted to…) the speed of life around us.  But when the projects are [...]

Only now, after returning from speaking at a conference in Vegas, do I realize I spent most of April worrying.  Worry is not usually a trait of mine.  I consider myself optimistic, glass is half full, tomorrow will be a better day kind of woman.  But finances, stress, health and concern for clients seemed to [...]

Trillions?  Makes me want to clean my own “house.” 
The word is out there – everywhere – and yet I almost feel  desensitized to the fullness of it.  It reminds me of not feeling parts of my body at times.  And yet each time I hear the word, I find myself looking to see what else [...]
