Could you imagine throwing a holiday dinner party and not preparing for it? I mean, just imagine: It’s December 24th. There’s a knock on the door. Your family arrives all dressed up for a party and you are lying on the sofa watching a rerun of “Grey’s Anatomy,” in your sweats. (Not even your good […]
Forget about Tiny Tim. Are you closer to “Tiny Time” when it comes to the holidays? Well, you are not alone. We often coach clients on how to manage their already hectic schedules over the holidays, but it requires taking an honest look at your current relationship to time. First, let’s breakdown what potential issues […]
We have all experienced the inexplicable. You know, lucky coincidences in our lives, like bumping into an old friend in a remote location whom you were just thinking about, or randomly being offered tickets to a long-coveted, sold-out concert.

I say “relationship” because it requires the same level […]
By now, you’ve more than likely read enough of our blogs, blurbs and what have you’s to know that we like to give a name to our less than attractive traits. From “mean martyrf*&cker,” to “sweet and sour chicken,” to “squeaker-of-the-house,” clearly, I have befriended, named and leashed (for the most part!) some of my […]
Your kids. They’ve got school to teach them their educational requirements. They’ve got friends to teach them how to be social and have fun. They’ve got their extracurricular activities to teach them movement and play. They’ve got dozens of other messages distracting them at any moment of the day. AND, they have you, their parents, […]
