Living Elegantly in a World of Oblivions | December 20, 2010

Living Elegantly in a World of Oblivions

While driving the other morning, I found myself behind a swerving vehicle.  The man driving it was shaving.

Last night in my yoga class, I could not salute the sun effectively because two women next to me chatted nonstop.

To this day, I cringe when I recall a former boss telling me about her suffering from a disease only she, her significant other, and her gynecologist should know about.

The Most Common Internal Obstacle: We Let Fear Take Over | January 25, 2010

The Most Common Internal Obstacle: We Let Fear Take Over

Women become paralyzed in their lives and let themselves go because of an underlying fear. A fear of rejection, a fear to accept how they really feel about themselves, a fear of facing the idea that they aren’t enough, a fear of accepting how others may feel about them. They let the fear take over and let other people determine their own self worth.

Why Do You Exercise? | May 21, 2009

Fitness is necessary for our mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and environmental well being. As an “order aficionado” it has become apparent to me over the years of helping people get through their material junk and give it some order, that if you have clutter in any of these areas of your being or life, you simply cannot function at your optimal.

Kids, Martial Arts & Life Lessons | April 22, 2009

April is Prevent Child Abuse Month, I want to highlight the fact that martial arts not only teaches children to defend themselves if necessary, it instills a level of confidence that will ensure they will be far less likely to be a victim to such abuse.

Mommy Confidence: 8 Easy Steps | March 18, 2009

Does Mommy Have to Do It All to Have it All?

How many times do you get your fingernails or toes nails cleaned, trimmed and painted pretty pink? Not enough I bet.  How many times a week do you go to the store, do laundry or drive to a job?  I’m sure you have a clear answer for that question.

How did we moms fall into the trap of never-ending errands?  If you dare tell me it comes with the territory, I will scream – loudly.  I have a hard time believing that it’s good practice to encourage or expect moms to … Read More »

Event Promotes Drop Off Your Baggage! | January 16, 2009

Event Promotes <i>Drop Off Your Baggage</i>!

Kim Lampe is ready to figure out her exit plan from 21 years of Corporate America. Grateful for her experience, but ready to be done with all that “do it for the stockholders”, which means “do it for the money”. Fast forward to December 2008, Kim has a concept, branding strategy and small but loyal list of newsletter subscribers.

Ask her what she sells and she will proudly say, “NOTHING”. She sends out a weekly newsletter, blogs and gives away gifts to her subscribers. Tell her she’s not really running a business and she will strongly disagree. She’s not ashamed to … Read More »
