Impatiens, Or Is It Impatience?
What are the simple things that bring you joy? Today I was reminded that planting annuals at this time of year lightens my spirit and simply put, makes me smile. After picking up white impatiens and potting soil, I drove home to get to work - prepping the soil, digging up the random roots that still linger from last year, and getting everything ready. I can envision what my garden will look like in a week, 4 weeks, and even in late October or November when they are tall, l


Daring Greatly
This book was recommended to me by one of my private clients - she's a millennial, brilliant, curious and committed to living life on her terms. She was reading the book with her new partner, and it highlighted for her some of the concepts that were coming up in our coaching sessions. It wasn't the title that pulled me in, but instead the subtitle - "How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent and Lead" I was sold! As all four areas were relevan

Captain and Crew
Let me disclaim that I am an Oakland resident and a Warriors fan. I also must admit that at game four of the championship series, I thought we had it in the bag. I was making preliminary plans for the parade. We all know what happened next. The Cavs broke an NBA record just like the Warriors did in the previous series against Oklahoma. The Warriors went on a three-game run to win the series in seven games and take the division championship at home. I watched as Cleveland erup

The Third Act
I woke up and felt like an early workout. Seldom is that my urge on a Sunday morning, but today that was it. After prayer and meditation, I went to the gym (only to discover they weren't open yet)! I sat out front and began reading an article I'd been carrying around for a few days. What I read in AARP Magazine inspired me to design a workshop for women 55+ who are contemplating what will be their "third act." The AARP article, Leading Ladies... Screen icons Sharon Stone, Jan

“How you do anything is how you do everything!”
With MCS growing by leaps and bounds, it’s been important for me to pursue my purpose, expand my experience, and revel in joy personally and professionally. A few of my favorite moments this year-- I attended the GLAAD Media Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles as a guest of President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis and met Halle Berry! I took Spanish classes in the Empire State Building! I’ve tried to keep my Spanish up and learn what I can in informal settings, like on my t


Go Coach Go
On a recent car ride to Manhattan from Jersey I kept ending up behind this bus and reading “Go Coach! Go...” — I think it’s a symbol. With the NYC skyline on the horizon, then the EZPass Lane at the Lincoln Tunnel, I think it was a sign that as a coach, it’s time for me to go, go, go. Won’t you come along for the ride? What kind of ride are you experiencing these days? There may seem to be a few EZPasses, but the reality is this — if you want to experience real and lasting
