Book Review : Play Like A Man Win Like A Woman

August 22, 2008

-->

The traditional, male way of doing business is not better than ours. Nor is it worse. It may be out-dated. It may not be productive or imaginative from a woman’s perspective. In fact, it may often be ethically and morally wrong. It is still undeniably real and it is a language that women need some functional understanding of to leverage the male corporate establishment.

The Universe Isn’t Out There

June 18, 2008

There’s an article in the Archives called Hey, Universe, Are You Ignoring Me? The question arose from my exasperation with having tried to think all the right thoughts, declaring my intentions to the Universe, and yet finding no opportunities arising from it, not even small ones.
It has been revealed to me that there is no Universe out there that is listening to my intentions. The only Universe that matters is inside my own head. It is my own subconscious that needs to hear my plans.

WOMAN + STRENGTH = GORGEOUS : 4 TOUGH STEP CIRCUIT WORKOUTS

May 27, 2008

Circuit means that cardio and strength segments keep alternating, a few minutes of one alternating with a few minutes of the other. This is my favorite type of exercise because the cardio gets done and I get strength with lots of variety. The time never passes faster than with circuits.

[ KEYWORD : GIVE ]

May 24, 2008

If you read the post on The Price of Happiness, and you tried it out a few times, you may have noticed the tranquility that is derived from being thankful. Maybe you were as surprised as I was by how quickly it happened.
As soon as you feel thankful, you automatically feel looked after and cared for. This knowledge brings you to a sensation of inward peace. I thought about this for awhile and wondered if I could turn the beam outside of my own body.

HOW TO FIGHT WITH A MAN AND WIN

April 11, 2008

I have found that when you are going to confront the husband about whatever it might be, it is useful to have a strategy. My strategy is this: “I have decided that I do too much of the crap work in this house. I have also decided that it is now your job to take care of the garbage and recycle. I am no longer doing this job whether you do it or not”.

THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF HDR PHOTOGRAPHS

April 8, 2008

I am endlessly awed, humbled, and inspired by human creativity. You can say any amount of bad about the species, and much of it would be true, but there is imagination and vision within each one of us that is stunning to behold.

Meet Xavier
I have realized that I notice very much how things look. A bit less, how they smell. Hardly at all how they sound. Not how they feel. How they taste? I don’t care enough, or else I’ve just replaced that care with a stronger concern about overall nutrition.

THIS MONTH IN DISCOVERY GIRLS : DARE YOURSELF TO FAIL

April 4, 2008

Embarking on the unknown road that will lead to success is not daunting. Not knowing what form that success might take is not demoralizing either. The real fear, the only fear, for me, lies in the event that I will walk this road to find that it leads nowhere.
Part of me fundamentally believes that that is not possible. My other part, hopefully a smaller size than the first, is not so sure. Though my intention is to shape my own future, rather than just react to the things that might happen to me, I’m not always operating at full intentional power.

13 THINGS I’VE LEARNED FROM WORKING WITH MEN

March 24, 2008

I love working with men. They bring their male rules of conduct into the workplace and they fascinate me. They’ve set up the game, they know the rules well because they play by the same set in every aspect of their life.
Women don’t innately understand these rules, but in the workplace, the guys’ way sure does work if you happen to meet the public every day and have (or want) a leadership position. This is because “the public” is just all of us. Our social training has taught us that the male approach signifies confidence, experience, and ability.
