There are a lot of things I want in my life. I have big dreams about regular things: I want the love in my life to be deep and everlasting, I want my career to be fulfilling and make a huge impact on the world and I want to enjoy living in my body boundlessly. […]
To all my writers who are not writing, my health nuts who are on the couch with chips and ice cream, to all my dancers who are not dancing or my sensual people who are not touching or being touched, it’s time to get moving. It’s time. It’s hot, you’re limber, there is space in […]
I regularly lose things. This time it’s the last straw. I lost my credit card. Do you know how annoying that is? Super annoying. And I lost it because I do not take good care of my things. I am a life coach; I train other life coaches. My job is to teach people how […]
My vacation was mostly great, but I made one mistake. First I’ll tell you what I designed well and then what I didn’t. My hope is that I catch you before you leave for your vacations and help you design them, so you maximize relaxing and having fun with your loved ones. This is an […]
Especially you ladies (and yes, I am going to generalize here; please forgive me and know that I know no generalizations are totally true), you are going to need to stop withholding your pleasure from your mates and dates. Your pleasure is what makes the world go round. Go ahead, smile. Doesn’t that feel good? […]
Last week my blog focused on your power to say “no” to things. I mentioned that with the courage to say “no” comes a deeper commitment to that to which you say “yes.” I want to talk about the next layer of saying “yes” to things. We at the Handel Group™ call it “designing your […]
Saturday morning we woke up before 7am, to not the pitter-patter of little feet, but the stomping of 8 little feet and the whimpering of a 2 year old who’d been awoken by those feet. It was too early for us and the other lovely couple, whose home we were sharing for the family fun […]
Technically, no. You live in the information age, which means you could spend the next month just reading blogs about, let’s say, knitting, and still not get through them all, and your loved ones and business colleagues are able to reach you through seven different venues at once. So, you technically CANNOT get to everything […]
Last night my dear friend Melanie, who used to be an upscale caterer, came over to cook a delicious several course meal for my husband and me. She enjoys our big kitchen, we enjoy her cooking and all of us enjoy each other’s company. I haven’t cooked in years but for camaraderie sake, I offered […]
I have been thinking a lot about what stops us from rising up in leadership in our homes, offices, classrooms, communities and in the world at large, and I have come up with a few stark answers.1) Being unclear about your message or point: Many people come to coaching with the basic problem of not knowing […]
I’ll get right down to it. The irony baffles me: the number one quality most people are looking for in a potential mate is honesty, yet most people lie or stretch the truth in their dating profiles. Call me crazy, but I believe the energetics of this are real. I believe that if you lie […]
Often I tell you about things I mess up with my husband. Today, I want to tell you about something I did right. I was walking to meet my husband, he was with the kids, I was dropping something off. As I approached him at the car I found him pacing, like an angry bull. […]
