September 12, 2012

I’m torn about summer coming to an end. On one hand, I will miss all the hours of daylight. I love getting up early – can we say 4 am?. By the time I’m done with my healthy breakfast at 5 am, it’s already getting light outside. On the other hand, this has been a […]

What better way to spend a beautiful sunny summer day than near the water? A dear friend invited me to visit the newly opened Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum and we had a blast. I always love it when I’m inspired to write a blog post about my everyday experiences and this was no […]

The Internet – too much of a good thing

August 15, 2012

Knowledge is power and making an informed decision requires information. That’s what the Internet is for, right? I agree, with some reservations. I have been having lots of pain in my right hip and it’s getting worse, not better. This is in spite of resting it, which has been driving me crazy, since I love […]

Unexpected benefits of blogging

August 2, 2012

Why blog? For me, the reasons are many: to improve my writing, to create an effective online presence, to learn more about technology, to add structure to my life. And the list goes on. Blogging is also about connecting with others. This came true for me in a very special way recently when I reconnected […]

So I am currently doing a 108 Ultimate Yogi rotation. As the name implies, I am doing yoga and meditation for 108 days. As a person who is constantly fidgeting, meditation is really hard for me.

Enough with the newsletters!

Dear Colleague, Even though it’s been almost 20 years since we’ve worked together, I’m glad we keep in touch periodically. I do enjoy hearing what you’re doing.

How yoga helped me succeed in business

At first glance yoga and business seem to be exact opposites. To use yoga terms, yin and yang. Yoga is about feeling calm and centered, while business is about being alert and winning. That may be true, but if you dig deeper, you’ll see it’s much more than that. I’m currently doing an 108 day […]

Unless you live in a cave, you’ve heard about Facebook’s IPO on May 18th. To say there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding this is an understatement. The facts: May 18th stock valued at $38.00 per share May 18th Market Value = $100 billion. (yes, that’s a billion, not a million!) This was the second […]

Do not regret the past, focus on the present

May 2, 2012

At one time or another, we all long for the “good old days,” whatever that means. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in the past and what might have been. We regret things we did or didn’t do. This point was driven home for me with a recent experience. I got the call […]
