Recently friends have been on my mind. It’s been less than two years since we moved to a new city and left behind a circle of friends that was constructed over 20 years.

Hold me on the palm of your hand. Step into the promise of the day Sing with circumspect abandon Live on the brink of discovery Delight in the surprise of the moment Dance with me in the air of the night Rest in the embrace of your lover Melt into the fragrant air. Be wonderful [...]

It strikes me that we are all very capable of complaining–about our bosses, our co-workers, our subordinates. We seem to have a knack for pointing out the deficiencies of those who surround us at work and in life. Perhaps our own culture inspires us to look elsewhere for the root of our problems–and I am [...]

In the journey of life, failure is just a stop along the way. Yet, most of us are so intent on inching forward that when we come to this stop we are jarred to our bones–failure has brought us to a dead end that sometimes has the power to catapult us into deep despair. Fear [...]

Yesterday I run into a woman who told me how happy she was and how she was looking at her job with new eyes. At first, she was almost apologetic–she was a little bit self-conscious announcing her happiness! Then she realized I would appreciate her sentiments–what has the world come to if we have to [...]

What kind of life do we lead makes a difference not just to others but to ourselves. According to the experts at McKinsey, successful leaders: 1. [...]

I am not an artist. I had my first artistic crisis in first grade when the teacher said that the picturesI had drawn of my family were not realistic because they were wrongly proportioned. All the people in the pictures had really really long legs. Now that I know more about the world, I know [...]

Recently I was coaching a group of clients on the phone. One of the assignments to one of the people was to stop during the day and breathe. Another assignment was to give herself a pat on the back. I recently heard from the client that these small steps were making her feel less stressed [...]

Sometimes I think the secret to enjoying life is not to take myself too seriously. This is not something that comes naturally to most of us–I don’t know at what stage of our life we lose our ability to be playful and to see how whimsical life can be. Surely, transitions from childhood to adulthood [...]
