How much easier would it be for you to focus on your target if all the clutter were cleared away? 

If deadlines and stress, piles of paperwork and to-do lists magically disappeared. Imagine if you could devote all of your time to the pursuit of one major goal. And once that was achieved, all your time, energy and resources could be focused on the next major goal...and so on. You would be so much more productive and we all would be achieving our goals at a more predictable pace.

Well reality usually sets in and we realize that we do still have deadlines and stress, piles of paperwork and to-do lists, and our family and career obligations, plus our social endeavors. But what if we could free up some time - even if it's just 15, 30 or 45 minutes a day? What could you accomplish with those accumulated minutes over the course of a week, a month, a quarter or the next year? The simple answer...a lot!

So I'm going to suggest that you do a little Spring Cleaning - for your VISION....

Your stock has gone up - whether you realize it or not.

People want what you have. Corporations and associations need your energy, your thoughts, your leadership and your business. Collectively, we need your buying power to move mountains and garner attention for causes we all can agree on. 

For too long, women have gone unnoticed in the business world, unrecognized in leadership roles, under-acknowledged for their contributions and underappreciated for their work raising children and taking care of the home. Finally we have come upon a time when women are joining together, in collaboration rather than in competition, and are beginning to realize the value of their time, energy and efforts.

So let me ask you - what is your time worth? Your ideas? Your experience?

If you had to hire someone to do the work you do, at the level you do it - what would that cost? 

If you're a mom who takes care of the house and the family as you rush to get everyone out the door, you are...

Finally!  Spring is coming.  Time to bring out the Capri pants and shorts in preparation for summer.  If you’ve been exercising all winter long, go ahead and reward yourself with a pedicure, some sandals and your best pair of shorts and go out with your friends. 

If you feel like you’ve got a bit more work to do before getting into your favorite shorts, don’t despair – you’ve still got time.  Memorial Day Weekend is about 7 weeks away, and that means with the right workout, you’ve got time to safely and easily lose about 7 – 11 pounds before then. 

Here’s my “Great Legs” routine that is sure to give you the results you desire:

Cardio – Start and end each day with a minimum of 6 minutes of light cardio such as walking, stationary bicycle or cycling.  Shoot for a maximum of 20 minutes every morning and evening to help your body burn fat for its fuel source.  It’s very...

Did you know that the average American consumes approximately five to eight grams of fiber per day?  Most people get their fiber from bran muffins, fruits and vegetables.  Care to take a guess how many grams of fiber a typical adult should consume?  Twenty-five to thirty-five grams per day.  That’s right – four to five times more than the average person already consumes.

As the cold temperatures are slowly starting to give way to some sunny days, let’s prepare for the coming of Spring in March, which is National Colorectal Awareness Month.  There is no better way to protect yourself from colorectal diseases than to ensure that you get enough fiber each day. 

Your body is designed with specific reflexes that are subconscious, innate abilities.  That means you were born with these reflexes, you did not have to learn them.  The most recognizable example of a reflex is your Patellar Tendon Reflex, the knee jerk reaction. ...

Happy New Year!  I hope that all of your holiday wishes came true.  Hopefully you spent some time with your loved ones making new memories.  I know I did.  My husband and I took our children to New York and spent a week with my family for Christmas.  We took the train into the city, saw the tree, stopped to eat, went ice skating in Central Park, ate again, exchanged lots of presents and ate some more.  We talked, and laughed and reminisced.  We told stories and played games.  Everyone had such a wonderful time that I have to place one special item on the top of this year’s list of New Year’s Resolutions.

Many years ago, before college and grad school, before staff meetings and business lunches, before children’s activities and homeschool demands, I thought I had life figured out.  Back then, if you had asked what was most important to me, I would’ve answered you in a second.  “Happiness,” I’d...

Anger: When I Try To Name The One Thing, All The Other Things Line Up Behind It

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it makes me angry when people don’t mean what they say. It makes me angry when people think I should be okay with broken promises and unkept commitments. I am not. I will not be. And I will not apologize for my “high standards.” Without integrity, there is no basis for communication, let alone accountability and responsibility.

It makes me angry that people think “obligation” is a dirty word everyone should be free from. An entire industry called “self help” profits from people’s fear of accountability. Here’s all the self-help you need: take responsibility for your shit, mean what you say and follow through.

It makes me angry when I tell people about a difficulty I’m having with another person and they try to guess what the others involved are thinking instead of listening to ME, the person right in...
