One of the most interesting aspects of wearing costumes, such as at Halloween or a masquerade, is that it gives us a chance to be playful with our fears. We have the opportunity to become someone, or something, else when we dress up in costume. We have the chance to embrace and learn from our […]
Creativity after 40
Presence, truth telling, and discernment are just a few attributes of visionaries. Another, which on the surface seems obvious, is creativity, innovation. What is not so obvious is what this actually means. I’ve had many clients tell me they are just not creative people, thinking the term describes only artistic people, but this couldn’t be […]
We Are the 51% #TBT
For this weeks’ #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I wanted to share this post I did on pay equality. With the conversation still going on four years after I originally wrote this it was interesting and sad for me to see things that have not changed. But as we continue to discuss these many unequal threads I’m […]
Women, We Need to Talk
Over the past few months, I’ve traversed the country speaking and reporting, and everywhere I go, I keep hearing the recurring theme of “reimagining.” This paradigm-changing phrase is a favorite of mine, and now it is morphing into a meme . . . especially around retelling our generational story and our her-story. For post-50 women […]
Owning Up
In another post, I talked about an attribute of visionaries: being truth tellers. They stand up for what’s right, regardless of the consequences, speaking the brutal truth when it needs to be said, and acting on that truth in their everyday lives. But being a visionary does not mean being perfect. Sometimes telling the truth […]
The Mayan Prophecy #TBT
For this weeks #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I’m sharing a post that I wrote at the end of 2012. There was a lot of conversation around fear and the end of the world. With the social climate going on from US elections, to terrorist threats, to the global economy the same conversations are coming up again. […]
Can We Control How Fast We Age? #TBT
Most of us struggle with the disconnect between the age we feel inside and the age we see and feel in our bodies. Our capacity for extraordinary visions and creative leaps is truly ageless, no matter the packaging, but that doesn’t make the aches and pains (corporeal and emotional) of an aging body any less real.
The Invisible Woman
Women tend to have the blessing and the curse of being invisible, especially as we approach 50 and beyond. The negative side of being invisible is clear to most of us. The world no longer seems to notice or care about us or what we have to say—if they ever did in the first place. […]
Multiple Conversations on Aging #TBT
For Throwback Thursday (TBT) I wanted to reshare this post I did back in the Summer of 2012 about the Power of Having Multiple Conversations on Aging. I read an article (Tori Vigil’s “Thank God for Aging”) that put beautifully why aging is in many ways a positive part of life. What struck me most, […]
We Are the Truth Tellers
Everyone has their own individual truth; what they believe, what they feel and what they value. I’m interested only in the truth inside. My life is about finding the truth of a character, the truth of a relationship, the truth of God, the truth of health. That’s all I’m interested in. —Shirley Maclaine Being a […]
