After weeks of playing tag-your-it to find available dates, my good friend and I finally got to meet for lunch recently.
Trying to coordinate our schedules is always a major undertaking.
Over a piece of peanut butter cheesecake (low fat of course) she confessed:
“I work. I have kids. I try to have a life. After all this trying and talking, I’ve discovered a secret: There is no such thing as work-life...
Yesterday was the summer solstice – the longest day of the year (at least here in our little hemisphere), the first official day of summer, and the half-way point between Happy New Year and Auld Lang Syne.
Six months left to make that impact I’ve been cultivating in my business since January 1st and leave my mark on the year known as 2011.

I love Terri’s poetry! What I particularly love about this piece is that “friend” can apply to a wealth of different people: a family member, an actual friend,...
One of my Facebook colleagues had a rather interesting dialogue going on this week when she posted a question about how to keep from getting derailed in her day-to-day work life.

I’m forever amazed at how many of us do battle with this saboteur – this purveyor of distraction, resistance, and frustration.
I could write a book about all the ways in which we engage in dragging our feet, shelving...
