Got my mind right

I should preface these comments by saying I’ve been up (and working…and walking uphill both ways) since 3am (don’t ask), so now my brain is yawning and farting, and just generally ready for a nap and a Scotch. (Not necessarily in that order.) Anyway, this morning I got office space (380 Lexington! A huge office…

Customer Service

Ugh: starting a new business, especially in these dire economic times, is just an on-going game of Choose Your Own Adventure (remember those books from the 1980s? No? Right, we’re all too young…cough cough) wherein even the simplest things can be incredibly frustrating. Even as everyone talks about how necessary small businesses are to drive the engine…

Makeup by Margie

I shot my “Learning Annex” video–yes, some of you may be giggling, since quite a few of their titles are insane–but it was super fun: me talking to a camera about stuff I find interesting…bliss! Crucially, I spent the morning getting my face and hair did by Margie Bresciani (www.margiemakeup.com).

This is for an old friend…

I’m (probably way too) real…

I had a blast last night speaking about 10 quickie ways to jump start yourself  on the transformative process of reinvention at the NewLife Expo…especially given that it was one of my first big speaking engagements, and that for about 5 heart-pounding minutes it looked like nobody would show (sad trumpet noise here)..but then, it happened:…

Grrr.

It must be the 95 degree heat here in NYC–plus, all the women who decide that this heat means they can wear ripped up leggings, or bikini tops, or clog-heels (someone, somewhere should get punched in the face for inventing clog-heels. I like to think all creative people are wonderful and necessary, but this one…

Learning from

Everyone’s talking about Rep. Weiner’s junk, not to mention his spectacularly bad judgment; its about 100 degrees here in NYC (the cats are all comatose…except occasionally The Kitten stirs himself to smack another cat)

“me”

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/hottttt-said-the-woman-behind-the-me-photo/?hp I’m not sure what’s more pathetic: that Weiner was at all engaged in chasing women online so flagrantly, given that he’s a MARRIED POLITICIAN…or how desperate he comes across: yikes! All she had to say was how “hottt” he was and…ba-blam! One can only assume how thrilled his wife must be..hope she got in one…

And now for a word from our sponsors

I’m enclosing a link to my speaking gig this Friday, June 10 @ 6pm, “Becoming the Hero of Your Life: 10 Steps to Reinvention” (though I have to admit that everytime I check out the list of speakers, I start brooding about what exactly ‘womb yoga dance’ is…but I’m a delicate flower and probably do…
