For those of you who are here in the states, we have been inundated for the last several months about the need to get out to vote.  Unfortunately, It is rare when we actually simply hear what someone honestly believes in. What they would die for. We hear more about how bad the opposition is. It supports the concept of…

Have you ever had a project you have talked about for close to 3 years because you knew it was needed, and you wanted to do it, but so many other projects or life got in the way? Well, I am fully aware that if I had 100% committed to it I would have done it 3 years ago. I…

Last week was a trip down memory lane. One afternoon I traveled to Boston to have a reunion with my high school classmates for the second time since graduation. St. Augustine’s was a 4 room, all girls, high school in the inner city. An unaccredited high school I was told, after the fact, which did not allow me to go…

I remember years ago someone telling me, “I am not paying you to think, just do your job.” That clearly did not go over well. I didn’t remain there much longer. It was clearly a bad mix.

What her death caused me to do, however, was to stop and assess. I have been spending so much time lately looking…

Today on our Podcast, Truth and Double Daring with Dottie and Diane, we had an amazing guest. Patrice Tanaka, who I happened to have met 2 weeks ago in NYC at her birthday party of all places. I was so completely impressed with her that I asked her immediately after to be a guest on our show. As any good…

Have you noticed that when you grow it feels as if you bring in people and organizations who seem to have been waiting for you to reach the new level? They don’t say it, but you now realize “I belong here.” And you are then warmly welcomed into a new world… I have been speaking, writing, and working with others…

When you have a business that has transitioned numerous times, and each business stage calls out different aspects of who you are, it can be easy to forget what your initial soul-longings really were. In beginning my career, in what feels like a hundred years ago, my objective as a psychotherapist was to support and guide people in becoming everything…
