Take a brief break
My mid-week gift for you – take a break. Think of a place you’d love to be… breathing in fresh, pollen-free air. Picture yourself there for 10 seconds. Allow it to sink in, refresh you.

Tell us something positive
For years, I’ve started group meetings on an upbeat note to give everyone a chance to say something and get to know each other a little better. I ask everyone in the room to tell us something positive — professional, personal or both — that’s happened or is happening in their life. Briefly. I’ve been amazed at

Thanks to all the women in my life
On this International Women’s Day, I think of the many women who’ve positively impacted my thinking, my life. The strong, humble, creative, steady, loving, often self-deprecating women – from all the ages. They’ve done what they were here to do, believe in, support, fight for, pray fervently for, express in their own unique ways. They
