I'm still here...I'm still here?...I'm still here! It's all in the way you say it, think it, feel it.
I'm pushing 60 hard, it's only a few turns on the wheel away and funny thing is, I really never thought of being there...how odd.
It's really hard to avoid it, and believe me I've tried! My thoughts were never of what would happen when I got old, the kids left home, I was a grandmom, losing my parents, or husband...it just didn't seem like it would ever happen. It never occurred to me that time…

Without thinking about it, the other day I happened to mention on Facebook that writing my WIP (a TV pilot set in Hollywood 1944) is like playing with Barbies. But super awesome 1940's Barbies who wear hats, gloves and stockings. Underneath the glamor, they hide secrets, wrestle with insecurities and ambition and use whatever they've got to get ahead in a man's world.
(If you ask my mom, she'll tell you that this was how I played Barbies when I was a kid. She once caught my Barbie in bed with a…

The hardest part of a story to write is the first line. Speaking from my experience as a reader (e.g. what pulls me into a story) and a writer (what has sold my work), a character has to make an entrance. Or, if told in the first person, a statement. I don't mean just having someone walk through a door, or wake up in bed and most definitely not stare at herself in the mirror over the bathroom sink. Characters arrive. They have a presence that makes you turn to the next page and the next until th…

If there is one thing I know it’s that most definitely people are generally friendlier and have more time for you in the country. Well maybe not in the country necessarily, just in places where the pace of life is a little slower. I think this is my favourite thing about our new life in England. When we left our city life in search of adventure we found many small communities in France, Spain and Portugal who seemed to have more time for each other and more time for simple activities “oh, it’s n…

I began performing professionally at the age of nine. My career took a few twists and turns, but I was actually able to support myself for quite some time as an adult. It was more than just what I did for a living. It was a big part of who I was as a person, and I enjoyed it so much that even after I decided to change careers and become a writer, I still performed whenever I could. In fact, the first time my husband ever saw me, I was singing back up in a band, at the Bitter End, in NYC. Long st…

There are many interpretations of the word empowerment. I've listed
a simple definition below.
Empowerment: The act of giving power and authority to a person to perform his designated tasks and being enabled to do what is needed to accomplish a
given task, goal and mission.
Empowerment is a choice. You either choose to embrace empowerment
by learned life skill sets and other avenues or choose to sabotage any
level of success by continuing disempowering behaviors, neglecting
to learn and apply…

If I asked you today to help save a baby's life by donating something from the trash, what would you say?
Yes?
Sure you would! It would take a seriously hardened individual to say no to giving up something out of their trash can to save a life, but every day, thousands of new moms are letting life saving "…

I have a doctor’s appointment today in which, for the first time in my life, I am going to have a conversation with an MD about treating my attention deficit disorder. I have severe ADHD. What? Why did I wait until I was 46, you ask? I knew that was coming and I am prepared to answer it with this pretty pie chart I made using PowerPoint. I’ll retrieve it from my back pocket, rub out the creases on the exam table, present it to my doc, and as Reese Witherspoon’s character, Elle Woods, in Legally…

Apples apples everywhere … every time I walk to the end of the garden I feel swamped. I have made pies, crumbles and spiced apple muffins for every occasion:
Mum: “would you like to come over for dinner?”
Me: “ooo, lovely. Don’t worry about pudding, I’ll make an apple pie!”
Friends: “We were thinking of popping over for a coffee today”
Me: “Great! I’ll bake a fresh batch of spiced apple muffins!”
Hubby: “what shall we have for dinner tonight?”
Me: “how about we do away with savoury altogether…

So…you are going through a divorce and navigating the waters of co-parenting, custody, financial transition and the feelings of isolation and overwhelm.
At the same time, you need to manage your job, your children and their schedules, your social life, your health and wellness, your family and the possibility of a new relationship.
And you wonder, how am I supposed to do all of this?
Have you ever felt that way?
I have….many, many times! And…I am happy to say, that I have learned how to mana…

Hi Everyone:
Question: When does an employer cross the privacy boundary to its employee?
I mean an employer is justified to do background checks
for all applicants they intend to hire. That is understandable, you don't want to hire or work with a person who is coming into your workplace with criminal intent, right. But how much background check is enough? How far should you go into a person's life to find out what you need to make your decision on this person? And will the…

I feel as though I have once again wasted my day. My intentions are always great and my expectations high, yet, I seem to let the day slip by and nothing I set out to do gets accomplished. Perhaps I have adult ADD... Can I have a do over?

It's coming up on my own personal annual holiday, one that I lovingly call "Pull Your Head Out of Your Arse Day". I decided to recognize this annual day several years ago when I was reflecting on the odd "coincidence" that I happen to of had two car accidents on the same date. The first was when I was in High School and the second one was 7 years later.
In retrospect, I can see they both occurred around times in my life where a major transition was about to occur - but I was wanting things to s…

I recently had a dream where I was invited to attend a private meeting with many of today's great spiritual leaders. The likes of Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Louise Hay, and many more were there. The gathering was held in someone's home and before things got started we were all sitting in the living room sharing what we were each going to speak about during the meeting. When it got to be my turn I was a little caught off guard, presuming I got to partake by simply listening to all the goings-on…

It's been a wonderful Summer and I can't express enough
my gratitude for all of the support and words of affirmation
that I received over the course of the summer and this year
for that matter.
I've had this question asked by many women and it is simply
how do I get started? Or how do I continue even when it seems like nothing's happening?
I've been sharing about the army of empowered women that I'm building, are you ready to join the revolution?
