I reconnected with a favourite colleague from 28 years ago the other week. Of course, in sixty minutes, we barely scratched the surface of the nearly three decades of in-between. And agreed that more sessions were needed to get fully caught up. In extolling the frustrations of playing executrix to her elderly UK cousin’s estate, […]
Right now, my husband is on a six-week journey. This past Monday, he had surgery for his rotator cuff muscle. We are just completing week one. Naturally, I have a few thoughts …… When we get married, we sign up for the usual ‘for better or worse.’ And rarely do we give thought to what […]
The other day, I encountered the usual ‘What’s your time worth’ argument. You know the one. You don’t build wealth by penny-pinching. Because your time is more valuable than you think.

The other week, I was chastised for using the phrase … “I refuse to give up. We CAN’T give up hope.” Apparently, according to the protagonist, the word hope is far too passive for our world now, is not what is needed these days and should be replaced with ‘love and rage.’ It’s not about […]
Business as usual is an umbrella term that covers all standard, day-to-day business operations. I really like the definitions buried in the Cambridge Dictionary. “Things are continuing as they always do despite a difficult situation. The state of continuing in the usual way.” Yesterday was the start of a new series on the podcast. I’m looking […]
I am writing this as I put the finishing touches on the 3Day plus 1 Reset exercise I told you about a few weeks back. And spending much time thinking about anxiety, angst and anger. I got angry last week at a TV producer interviewing me for a piece on his career resources production. (He […]
