Last Friday, I received a slap-in-the-face lesson about Praise, and today I want to share it with you. I was walking the last 20 minutes of my daily 90-minute trek when a gentleman stopped me and asked if I had a phone. Of course! What’s the problem? There is a lady over there (gesturing to …
Pandemic Flatulence
Pandemic Flatulence. This is my new (uncopyrighted) term. I coined it to explain the dramatic increase in what we used to call casual brain farts. I was beginning to think the world had gone mad. Until it happened to me. Suddenly it all makes sense. July 6th, hubby and I embarked on the long drive to …
Just Start
Last month the post about endless possibilities caused a commotion. While most agreed with me, the common question, was ‘where do I start?’ Let me explain. You have a big dream.

Who was Your BESTEST Boss?
Who was your bestest boss? I am talking about the person you reported to for whom you would do anything. The one you took your best ideas to, the one for whom you did your best work. The one you trusted to have your back, to understand you. They always had time to show you …

Which means we can begin the reentry process into our new lives. I have been thinking about that reentry and imagine there will be several circumstances we have never encountered …
How to Make a Decision
One area that doesn’t seem to get a lot of air time these days is the process of deciding or making a decision, probably because so many of us are simply trying to hold on. Yet, how many people do you know who have thrown in the business towel? Decided their marriage isn’t worth salvaging? …

My entire life, I have been notorious for forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. So, last week, it came as a complete shock when I remembered something. I was chatting with a colleague, trying to find a date that worked for both of us and while looking at the calendar, shouted. “OMG. It is six …
Commitment. Obsession. Perfection. Excellence.
Check out this quote about commitment! “Too often, commitment was measured by how many hours you were willing to work. But commitment is best measured not by the time one is willing to give up, but by the energy one wants to put in.” –Eugene O’Kelly What a way to change your perspective, right? Eugene …
Time Management: Prioritize. Begin.
Recently my own words – Prioritize. Begin. – hit me like a bolt of lightning. Have you ever been hit (figuratively, not literally) completely out of the blue? Of course, you have. We’ve all had those kinds of moments. Here’s my latest. I received an invite to chat on a podcast about mindset/mental health/meditation. From …
