There is some aspect of competition that is good–it keeps us on our toes, it makes us strive to be better, and it keeps us honest insofar as it requires us to compare ourselves to others and not live in splendid isolation. And yet competition as we live it in our American lives goes to [...]

Are you listening to yourself?

Have you ever listened to the voices in your head? The ones that tell you that you must be crazy for feeling stuck in the high paying job, dumb for thinking that you could do something different…those same ones that said you could be better, more perfect, thinner, more beautiful, worthy etc! If we spent [...]
On leaving and moving and emotions

Transition is the movement from one stage to another–transitions can take all shapes and involve change that we either chose or that somehow fell upon us (think pink slip, death, illness…something transformative that we may not have chosen). Transitions are on my mind right now as I shift from one city to another. I have [...]

Even when I was a child my mother asked me to clean out my room, which really meant to put things back where they belonged. Reluctantly I complied…though I am sure I never quite met the standards of order that would have been required. Decency maybe was more the level of what I could achieve. [...]

So I wish I could say I have invented a “clutter magnet”–an object that magically attracts all clutter and “disappers” into order. Alas, no such great news from me…I am, and have always been, a clutter magnet: in the sense that clutter appears around me everywhere. My friend Mary Thompson says that I can live [...]

Whether in your business or in your daily life (think in relation to others!), what is the difference between being in control and choosing? Aside from the obvious negative connotation usually associated with control, dig deeper. What distinguishes the two? Take the example of the housework that needs to get done around most homes. The [...]
A graceful transition

Recently, I came across this interview of Sigrid Olsen, a fashion designer turned artist, who recently closed her stores (for reasons beyond her control) and found a way to create a new career in a graceful way. I think you might find inspiration in seeing her interview! Life is Amazing! Live Well. Anna Grassini Click [...]
How to get to the right decision? That is the question.

Life is too short not to make decisions with the heart. Still, sometimes our mind and our feelings cloud our perception of what it is to follow our heart. And there are times when our heart seems to be silent. Take, for example, the simple task of losing weight. There is no question that by [...]
