I’ve been practicing yoga since September 2000 so some might say this announcement has been building for 11 years. Since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. Today I will start on the yoga teacher training journey. My yoga path has been slow but continual. In anticipation of my second son’s arrival, and desiring to be in even better shape using the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth, I took a prenatal class [...] Recently a friend running for public office confided that people were friending her on Facebook rather than liking her campaign page. “Not to worry”, I told her, “You are still reaching them from your personal page. Make sure to provide updates they have permission to see.” Today Facebook added the Subscribe button and she might not even need a campaign page. If you want people to be able to Subscribe to your public posts on Facebook, then [...] Last Tuesday the Martin Luther King Jr. National Monument on the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC was crowded with people excited to see this new tribute. The 30-ft stone statue had been unveiled the day before, Monday, August 22, 2011. Although not officially dedicated, everyone present had made a special trip to visit as soon as possible. As they politely took pictures and solemnly read his quotes, the significance of the moment was evident on [...]
While on vacation last week watching dolphins by the Golden Gate Bridge, my family saw a young man climb onto the top of a pillar and plank while his friends took pictures. They were laughing and gathered around to see the results. I imagined him level with the underside of the Bridge. One of the boys strummed a ukulele and you could tell they were enjoying a good time together. When my husband returned [...] Last weekend the cashier asked this question in a sporting goods store. Many chain stores require their clerks to ask, so I’m sure you’ve been asked it too. What happens when you give a negative answer? Most of the time I don’t bother to respond but I decided to tell her the truth, “No, you don’t have the color and weight of boxing gloves I wanted.” She completely ignored me. No response was given as she [...] Friends and family have been asking if I experienced a revolution in my life after completing the 40 Days To Personal Revolution program at Thrive Yoga earlier this year. Realizing my enthusiasm during the program, people have been wondering if it was real. I’ve asked myself the same question, but wanted to wait a few months before answering. Raving about a program in the moment is one thing, but a change in lifestyle a few months [...]
Many people ask me about blogging. Recently I gathered my thoughts for a panel discussion on Communication in the 21st Century for professional women. My presentation was meant to encourage people to write a blog by thinking through the basic questions to get started. What do you need to consider? Should your company be blogging? What will it take? Here’s a Powerpoint presentation to help you think through starting a blog. By clicking on the [...]
When I picked up Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson, the idea of a spiritual adventure intrigued me. I was looking forward to something new. A year later I’ve realized what influenced me the most from the book involves looking back. In the chapter entitled “A Rooster’s Crow”, Pavlov’s dog-salivation experiment which led to the concept of a “conditioned reflex”, is used to make the point that our lives are “an elaborate repertoire of [...] It doesn't have to be all uphill. The build up to the holidays can be stressful without any extraneous situations. With all my might I tried not to be negative during the week before Christmas, but many forces conspired against me. One morning I woke to a flat tire which took the better part of a day for my husband and sons to replace. Two days later the car died in a parking garage. After years [...]
Twenty-five years ago when faced with a 30-page paper on my management style, I quit graduate school. All these years later, I know how I manage and could whip it out in short time. Over the weekend, I read Are you casting a shadow? by Anna Farmery at The Engaging Brand. Her leadership tip was against micro managing but it’s a proven method for great team accomplishments. She wrote: So why do we look for [...] |
