I often think we live in a culture that worships decline. As advanced as we are in our attitudes and beliefs about many subjects, we stick like glue to antediluvian thinking when it comes to "old people". It is expected  that once  age 65 is reached,  life is downhill until the end.  It is assumed "that's the way it is" and nothing can be … [Read more...] about New Book: Women Still At Work

The start of another new year—when vows to “do better” proliferate, and all kinds of high hopes take flight.  What do you want to do with this year?  More sleep?  Less saturated fat?  Fewer rounds of Spider Solitaire?  A better effort at really listening? At the risk of being a buzz kill, let me suggest “Better budgeting.”  It’s not the nasty “money diet” we often … [Read more...] about The “B” Word 

Read this question and note how it makes you feel: If you had to do (HAD to do) one thing for the rest of your life—for no pay—what would it be? What you FEEL is a key to learning something about yourself. Some of you had no problem answering this question. You’ve always known what you wanted to do and are either doing it or working your way towards it. Some of you have … [Read more...] about How to Identify Your True Calling

I hear from so many women who say they just can’t lose weight no matter how little they eat or how much they workout. (Sorry men, this article will be directed to the ladies…it’s nothing personal.) Everyone is looking for the magic bullet to weight loss and more importantly, keeping it off! We’ve all been told about calories in calories out. The less we eat the more we’ll … [Read more...] about “I Just Can’t Lose Weight”

I’ve been a citizen of the United States since I took my first breath--which was a while ago.  There have been ugly times as a country since then.  There have been disappointing times.  There have been sad, hard, trying times.  But there has never been any time that made me embarrassed to be an American. Until now. We’ve lost the esteem of the World because of our … [Read more...] about What’s Going ON??!

Many are concerned about predators of children and this is good.. Few seem to realize there are also predators of old folks, too.  I won’t ever understand those who want something for nothing. I am warning others near my age that predators are out there, just waiting for a chance to outsmart some older person, to take what they have. I was reminded of this recently when I … [Read more...] about Online Dating Predators

Can you always practice right thinking? I don’t know. But you CAN always practice adjusting your thoughts to right thinking. The thing to know – the “trick,” if you want to call it that – is to KNOW that you DO and CAN influence the Law of Attraction in your regard and in each moment… with right thinking. Law of Attraction is receptive, not reluctant. We imagine; and the Law … [Read more...] about Trained Thought Is More Powerful Than Untrained

There are two types of overwhelm: the type that’s triggered by external events and the type you self-impose. Both can be managed with the same technique. “I’m overwhelmed,” was my client’s first comment. You’ve been in that state of mind, and so have I. And, that’s what’s important to understand—overwhelm is a state of mind, not an actual event. Let’s look at a parallel … [Read more...] about What Does Feeling Overwhelmed Really Mean?
