Ah, the joy of nerves…

August 18, 2009

Hello, dear women; Could I have been any more nervous, and survive? I don’t think so. Despite all my second guessing, I am glad to have had you all join me today for our Launch event: a conversation about “expansion” with Karen Cappello. I loved the exercise

New Resource Added: a Meditation for Busy Women!

August 14, 2009

Sally Taylor’s Press the Pause Button meditation is a delight, and just a taste of what she’ll be bringing to us in November. She and I have set the date for our teleseminar presentation…although I think tele-meditation might be a better term for us to use. Sally will be sharing her wonderful energy

Interested in Reaching Beyond the Commonplace?

August 12, 2009

I bought myself a copy of Celebrating a Life: Planning Memorial Services and Other Creative Remembrances, by Faith Moore. I’m really enjoying it – and for those of us looking for new, innovative ways to assist client families in planning events that go one or two steps beyond the norm of “personalization” – I think this book is a great place to start. 51+zqzf1wML._SL160_ The product description from Amazon: “The funeral is dead. Today, many people are forgoing the maudlin trappings and timeworn rituals of traditional funerals and instead opting to celebrate their loved ones’ lives in ways that are much more personal, meaningful, and

Well, it’s history: we had our first meeting on Friday, 8.7.09 and I was delighted to have time with these amazing women. Our meeting was three members shy of a full board – but our conversation was animated, and insightful. What did I learn? That 2 teleseminars

Home Funerals

August 3, 2009

I may have mentioned to some of you that I’m a level 2 home funeral guide. Now, I’ll be honest here; all this means is that I took a weekend workshop; I’ve not yet orchestrated a home funeral. I was interested in the concept, and would really like to see

Monday Morning

August 3, 2009

It’s hard to believe, but I was up at 2:30 this morning. Phenomenally poor night’s sleep; although I was lying down for almost 5 hours, I couldn’t manage more than just a “doze” at any point during the night. So, I just got up, and got some
