RSSHOW 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”.

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.

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.
IS “FEEL THE FEAR, DO IT ANYWAY” WRONG?
March 8, 2008
Feel The Fear, Do It Anyway is the title of a great book by Susan Jeffers. For a long time, I used that phrase to guide my actions. I figured “You stay outside your comfort zone, you continue to beat down your demons.”
Then the Law of Attraction, or LoA, came along in the form of Esther and Jerry Hicks. You can read my article on their book, The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent. That book did more to change my life than any other “self-help” book has
THIS MONTH IN OPRAH : HOPE, HAPPINESS, AND MORE.
March 6, 2008
I enjoy reading Oprah when I’m in a waiting room but I seldom buy it. I don’t often connect with the topics. Dr. Phil, Suze Orman, retail items I can’t afford, US politics, solutions to problems I don’t have, celebrities I don’t care much about,… But in this issue, I found tons to interest me.
I bought the magazine for one article. “Shift Happens tells of the TED prize. $100,000 and the help to realize a dream are given to 3 people who must propose a world-changing wish.

DO YOU ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO CONTROL YOUR MONEY?
February 24, 2008
I recently published an article entitled What Does Money Mean To You? Through the public and private responses and conversations that came from that post, some of which you can see in the Comments following the article, I have become increasingly nervous about my understanding of our own family finances, which is somewhere below moderate.
Does [...]
WHAT DOES MONEY MEAN TO YOU?
February 5, 2008
Is it freedom? The devil? A flowing energy that we can control? A device for personal growth? Is it power, peace or strength? Do you think it’s inherently bad or good?
Money, lots of it.
Do you apologize for wanting it? Do you share your parents’ beliefs that it is selfish to have more than [...]
THE WORLD WOMEN WANT:A BLOG YOU SHOULD KNOW
December 18, 2007
I do not place great faith in the ethical behaviour of corporations left to their own devices. There are some that I trust more than others, companies like Dove, Paula’s Choice, Aveda, or Title Nine. They stand out as doing the right thing either for the environment, or consumers or both.
Can you think of any [...]
