Just found a fairly quick reading and thought-provoking article on evaluating our stress styles on Kat Tansey’s blog titled: What’s your Stress Style: Hamster, Salmon, or Cat? . After reading this, I can honestly say that for years now I have been striving to be more like the cat described in this article….although if I’m not careful, I can find myself all too quickly...
Some of the best advice I ever received was to cherish the good moments during the holidays. In other words, instead of our lamenting over the presence of a loud, obnoxious relative or your grumpy ol’ Uncle’s sour outlook on life, celebrate the one or two moments they actually laughed, shared a rare hug or cracked a funny one liner. If we judge our holidays in their totality, we...
My husband and I recently returned from our first extended vacation in 11 years. Embarrassing to admit because if you’ve been to one of my workshops, you know how strongly I advocate for and teach the importance of making time for regular mini and extended vacation breaks. I remind all clients and seminar audiences that with a bit of creativity and planning, we don’t have to...
True friendships are the treasured, incredibly beautiful, multi-colored roses amidst the many thorns of our lives.

Vacation policies and management’s attitudes toward employee vacations, personal or sick leave say everything about an office’s morale, culture and quality of leadership. Click here for my Lawyers USA column on this subject….written originally in 2002, but still so very true and relevant in today’s business climate. Bottom line…atttorneys, business owners,...
Ran across the quote below today and OUCH!….really made me think about things I’ve been putting off because I’ve been saying “I’m just too busy.” Don’t know about you, but Mr. Brown’s words below have inspired me to get in touch with the real reasons I’ve been putting a few things off because I no longer can claim it’s a lack of time...
Hello and Happy Monday (almost!)
Yet another all-too-quick weekend has come and gone and an exciting work week awaits us….hope your weekend was a great one from start to finish. Mine was special for many reasons including some rare, beautiful hours cruising solo along the glorious Blueridge Parkway which we’re lucky to have almost in our backyard. I spent several hours just...
Another weekend ahead and a great time to decide what our 2 or 3 top priorities are for the next two days…when I fail to prioritize my weekend activities, I all too often find that the things that matter most in this old world got left out (e.g. family/friend/exercise time, etc.). Also reminder – this is a brand new blog…lots more coming including articles, useful links,...
