This is the last Sunday of the LOVE month. And I want to turn to something that is too often deemed esoteric, fluff and silly. Love of Self. Love for Self. Self Love. I think it’s a fundamental pillar of our existence. Personal Confession: It took me decades to understand the concept, and I’m not […]
How was your Valentine’s Day? Full of mushy kisses and Hallmark moments, or flowers and candlelight dinners? Something else? I thought I’d ease up on the business tales and shower you with thoughts on love. I follow a Harvard Business School Professor because … well… he bills himself as ‘Building a Happier World.’ Too often […]
Remember in 2014 when Gwyneth Paltrow shared her use of the term conscious uncoupling? It was all about a mindful and respectful way to end a relationship.

We are in January, and nearly everyone- people and businesses- feels a productivity sag and a cash flow squeeze. I get it. So, this month, I want to share some […]
I am taking a hard, sharp turn for this opinion piece. Instead of the usual holiday shopping and end-of-year checklists, I invite you to pause and unwrap the most important and exquisite gift you’ll ever receive. Yourself. Imagine standing at the threshold of a new beginning, with the past year spread out behind you like […]
Have you ever had one of those days where you stop, gobsmacked by something or someone? By something so simple that you say to yourself, OMG, why didn’t I think of that? Years ago, I did, and frankly, it changed my life. I can’t remember all the circumstances surrounding it. Still, I remember someone on […]
There’s a feeling of spaciousness – no matter how fleeting- that we all get when we finish de-cluttering, filing, organizing, alphabetizing, or even tidying up. Right?
