From the minute I thought of that awful scene,
I felt kind of strange. You might even say mean.
I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream,
This is not the day or life I dreamed.
I got up and dressed and got ready to eat,
But became more angry when I sat in my seat.
Read MoreWhat if we didn’t care about make-up and hair?
How could we do it? How could we dare?
Strutting our true self totally bare.
Ignoring negative comments and judgmental stares.
In most animal species, adorned is the male,
With colors and grandeur to attract the female.
Read MoreNever did I ever think, I’d be invisible.
I always thought, I was quite invincible.
Never did I ever think, I’d be considered “older”.
I always thought, I’d stay young and bolder.
Never did I ever think, I wouldn’t catch a guy’s eye.
I always thought on my beauty, I could rely.
Read MoreI’m happy. I’m healthy.
I’m wealthy beyond my dreams…
I’m peaceful,
And, I love both you and me!
Rose-colored glasses, PollyAnna, that’s me.
Life is just better in a state of glee.
Read MoreI celebrate the sky and the sun and the moon.
I celebrate the grass and the flowers in bloom.
I celebrate the light and the dark on the earth.
I celebrate death and a baby’s new birth.
I celebrate love in all of its forms.
I celebrate lifestyles outside of the norm.
Read MoreLife is a rollercoaster with its ups and downs,
Never knowing what’s coming to make you smile or frown.
From yellow laughter to black sadness,
You go from happily ever after to red madness.
You despise irritation and celebrate elation,
And attach to good times with a burning fixation.
Read MoreI’m looking out my window,
Wondering where did my life go.
Outside, I see children playing,
Inside, I feel like I’m decaying.
I want out of this fog,
And into the sun,
Life’s too short,
I wanna have some fun!
Read MoreWe go through life looking for love outside,
Thinking this life is our only ride.
That we need a partner to feel complete,
And that being alone is its own defeat.
Love knows no distance, no rules, nor space.
It lives in our hearts, not a time or a place.
Read MoreWhen power is the mission, we all suffer.
When greed is the motive, we all suffer.
When separation is the mainstay, we all suffer.
When fear is the message, we all suffer.
Humanity has endured many tests.
And we always fail when we deem it a contest,
Read MoreI’m everything, everywhere, all at one time.
I’m undefinable and certainly divine.
I came to create and draw outside the lines.
My vision is no one else’s, but exclusively mine.
Read MoreI’ve always believed that each and every one of us has something that makes us shine. For many years, my cell phone ringtone was the Earth Wind and Fire song, “Shining Star”. Whenever someone called me, I heard: You’re a shining star, no matter who you are, shining bright to see, what you can truly be. I felt like I was infusing each caller with that special message.
Read MoreHave you ever had a book recommended to you at the exact time in your life when you needed that information? Or, have a solution to a problem come your way magically? I’m always amazed at how perfectly orchestrated life can be.
Since I do consulting work, I often find myself in between jobs. As soon as one assignment ends, the usual question everyone asks me is what I’m going to do next. My answer is always the same — “I’m waiting to see what…
Read MoreHere’s an excerpt from an interview I did with THE GREAT LEADERS digital magazine on women’s leadership.
“Leadership with passion allows you the freedom of creativity without the burden of logic.”
How do you balance work and life responsibilities?
Read MoreMost of us spend our entire lives seeking approval and love from people around us like our parents, family, friends or colleagues. I’ve always taught people to look for that love from the inside first in the form of self-love. That way, you have a high enough self-worth that you don’t need to look for love or approval outside of yourself. But, that doesn’t take away the fact that we all want to feel loved,
Read MoreMy first sign of aging came in my early forties when silvery strands of hair on my head started to peek through my dark locks. Nothing a little hair dye couldn’t remedy. But when my vision started to falter in my mid-forties, I got a bit more frustrated. First, because I never needed glasses before. And second, because my eyesight kept getting worse. It started with reading fine print but by the time I turned fifty, everything was blurry –
Read MoreHolidays, birthdays and other milestones are a perfect time to clean out the old and bring in the new on multiple levels – your body, your life, your work. It also begs the question: What are you going to do or be when you grow up? It doesn’t matter how old you are. The question affects people at all stages in life.
Read More“Society defines power by our outer appearances (career, money, title), but a person’s true power lies within. That’s where self-awareness comes in. The modern dilemma, however, is that self-awareness is a quiet, inner journey at a time when we’re mainly focused on our noisy, outer journey.”
Read MoreIt’s only noon and I’ve already been happy and sad about at least a dozen things today. On the happy list were my yoga class and a friend’s visit. A bad hair day and my dog throwing up made the sad list. In the big scheme of things, these trivial personal events are not memorable.
Read MoreHow To Live With Joie De Vivre, Even When It Feels Like The Whole World Is Pulling You Down
Interview with Authority Magazine & Debbie Gisonni
Read More2020 was a year of much loss and change for many of us—lives, jobs, homes, relationships. Challenges in life—whether trivial or tragic, personal or global—are unavoidable and not new to these times…
