What I learned from My Fair Lady

Stress Relief There was a day last week when I was feeling really stressed out. Too many technical glitches were happening, and I was feeling overwhelmed. Paul was out doing his group at the prison for the evening, so I began scrolling through movies to watch, and when I saw it, I knew I had […]

Keep the dream alive

Injustice I wrote this on Monday, reflecting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and that morning my friend sent me a reading that hit home in my heart. It was a quote about dreams. “Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.“~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That […]

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends! Life is so short, isn’t it? This week I attended my Uncle John’s funeral—87 years of a life well-lived. It was both a sad goodbye and a beautiful celebration. He leaves behind 10 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, and my Aunt Beth, three wonderful daughters—my cousins—along with a whole constellation of nieces and nephews […]

Facing Fear — The Real Kind This past weekend, I took 2 of my grandchildren, Nightingale and Adalie, to my mom’s senior community at Elim Park for a costume parade and trick-or-treating.

Whitewash Transformation

From Vacation to Renovation Last year I made a commitment to my friend Cindy that Paul and I would rent a house with her for a week at Rocky Neck (on the CT shoreline). Little did we know that we would be moving and still have much to sort out in the old house since […]

Squeeze out your sponge daily

EQ at Work One of the first leadership conferences I organized at work, was in 2001, and we had a full day booked with 5 speakers. The audience was about 500 corporate leaders across Technology, Legal, Finance & Human Resources departments. I remember the keynote speaker was talking about emotional resilience and said something like this: Think […]

What are your intentions?

What are your intentions? I got us 7 new puzzles for Christmas and we received a couple more from loved ones. Before Christmas, I borrowed 3 or 4 puzzles from a friend. Paul recently took an inventory and announced we have about 75 or more stored now, in the attic. Working on puzzles gives me […]

The day I was a heart throb

It started out like any other normal working day but I had a secret. I was going to be a completely different person that day. I was taking on a new identity. I was offered the opportunity to be Larry the Stag. Larry is the mascot of The Hartford Financial Services, Inc., a Fortune 200 company, where […]

It’s that time of year . . .

It’s Self-Forgiveness Time Every year it’s important for me to take an inventory of what I’ve achieved and feel good about in regard to my accomplishments. But I also take stock of what goals I didn’t reach or what mistakes I may have made. I don’t like that part. So this year is no different. […]

Raising your vibes

Who is rubbing off on you? You ever walk into a room for a meeting and you feel like you could cut the tension with a knife? Maybe there is a conflict going on or maybe no one is saying anything at all but you can just feel the negativity. I remember taking notes in […]
