Four Minutes and Four Seconds of Inspiration

January 23, 2010

Every time I see this video, I’m overjoyed; filled-up with love, and awe-struck by the diversity -and the essential sameness- of human populations. I’m proud of our ability to love, pleased to be human, and delighted with this video, every time I watch it. I hope you will be too.

Two Women on Productivity, Time and Clutter

January 22, 2010

In the recent AWFD sponsored online survey, funeral directors from across the country (and of both genders!) responded that TIME MANAGEMENT was a major issue in their work lives. So, I’m sharing the wisdom of two amazing women. Just last week I was privileged to listen to Dr. Jan Yager,

Dispelling the Old “What IF?”

January 21, 2010

For the past 2 and a half days, I’ve been in the dark. Literally. Northern California has had a series of major storms roll through – enough wind and rain to knock out our power, sometime Monday afternoon. Yesterday was the worst, as I was fraught with concern: I didn’t

January’s AWFD Tele-Event with Cookie Tuminello

January 16, 2010

On January 21st, 2010, I’ll  be interviewing Cookie Tuminello, the CEO of Success Source, LLC. Cookie is the ‘go to’ coach for women who want to unleash their potential, attain big goals, and create fulfilling lives, so I consider her to be the best possible guest for our first tele-event of 2010. As a leadership and team-building coach, Cookie takes her clients from ‘good’ to ‘great’ without the struggle and stress of doing it on their own. She is a contributing author in the bestselling book “Power & Soul,” as well as a column writer for FACE Magazine of Lafayette and the Lafayette Business Journal, and a frequent guest on several TV and National radio shows. Cookie is truly one of the wittiest women I know; her energy, and her sense-of-humor will keep us all riveted to the Q & A discussion, which will focus on giving voice, vision, and clarity to your dreams. The event will be held at noon, Eastern Time, on Thursday, January 21st. The tele-event is open to all members of the AWFD, as well as subscribers to the monthly newsletter, AWFDConnections. I’d like there to be a warm welcome for this amazing guest; we’re priveleged to have her join us. If you’re interested in attending,

Making 2010 the Best Year of Your Life!

January 14, 2010

Last year about this time, I tore a page out of a magazine. Was it Oprah? Real Simple? I can’t remember – but I do know this: I see this page every day, as it hangs in my office. It’s a prose selection from Barbara Kingsolver’s High Tide in Tucson, and it reads: “Every one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, loss of a job…And onward full tilt we go, pitched and wrecked and absurdly resolute, driven in spite of everything to make good on a new shore. To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another —that is surely the basic instinct…Crying out: High Tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is.” Isn’t that just wonderful? I just had to share it with you. And, I want to share something else. I was in touch recently with Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project, and she sent me a set of Resolutions Charts, which I’m passing on to you. I’m certain that some of you have heard about this book, but maybe not. If you’d like to learn more about it, go to the Web site. While you’re there, you’ll discover…(each one of these is a link to a related blog post, so feel free to click through for added content):
