Last week a colleague of mine referred a lovely woman to me for some advice. She was out of work and seeking a job after being outplaced from a position she had for over 20 years. She does web design but she’s discovered her real dream is to design children’s books. She’s grateful for the severance…
Happy New Year! If you’ve been with me a while you KNOW I love this month? WHY? Everybody you meet starts the conversation with the word, “Happy.” Think about it. Since the ball dropped in Times Square I know I must have said HAPPY New Year at least 25 times, maybe more! How…
Did you ever have a tough week? I had one last week. As good as I am working in the moment to alleviate stress, a number of situations converged that through me off course – not the least of which is a sinus infection! I was stressed, upset and in general pretty cranky…
It’s the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US this week. It’s a time we spend with family and friends and give thanks for all the bounty in our lives. But it would be a pity to only focus on giving thanks one day of the year, so I’d like to show you seven ways to…

It’s about being the captain of your own ship, steering it…
On Sunday night I was on the phone with a friend when my acupuncturist beeped in on call waiting. I knew it was important and put my friend on hold. She said she had a cancellation and knew I was anxious to see her before our “usual” monthly appointment which was to take place the…
When I walked along the beach to come up with idea for this week’s Museletter I heard the word, “Confessions.” It’s probably inspired by the dozens of emails that I get these days where people are baring their souls. Sometimes I’m in tears by 9 AM. Some are heart wrenching, some are sad. All of…
There are many things that seem to motivate people – independence, recognition, power, prestige, money, achievement, security, personal growth, professional challenge, collaboration, creativity. A best friend of mine used to be motivated by being given the opportunity to work on the holidays others took off so she could take off on days when others…
