You’re here because you want to transform your life, right?
In the spirit of transformation, I would like to share a personal transformation story of my own. About a year ago, a client introduced me to LearningRx, a cognitive training center that helps students strengthen their underlying skills necessary for learning. They help adults, too, and because I have always wanted to have a stronger memory, I signed up for the 12-week ThinkRx course.
The result? I am remembering more, I’m able to find my words more easily, and I am relying on written notes less and less. It’s very empowering. Watch the clip to see one of my new skills!

This weekend I watched a really inspiring movie, Touching the Void. It’s a documentary about two British climbers named Joe and Simon who in 1985 climbed one of the highest peaks in the Peruvian Andes, the nearly 21,000 ft west face of Siula Grande. Previously unclimbed, they were the first to do it and made . . . → Read More: The little steps add up

There are lots of ways that we as human beings can become blocked, and one way is via perfectionism. It robs us of our life, our effectiveness, and our ability to connect to others in the world. What is this thing that keeps us from getting our amazing ideas into the great conversation, putting . . . → Read More: Dare to do it wrong!

I was talking to my friend in NY earlier this week who had a dream about walking through the makeup section of a department store. Her face was pale and she needed some color. A really friendly-looking sales associate approached her, holding a tube of sparkling red lip gloss and said “this will be . . . → Read More: What’s the name of that lip gloss?

Just last evening, I finished another great book, one that I received from my husband as a gift: The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein. Author Wally Lamb describes the book as “a meditation on humility and hope in the face of despair.” I would agree.

I recently came across an interview of director Danny Boyle discussing his new movie, 127 Hours. The movie is about a Colorado rock climber who finds himself pinned by a boulder in a Utah canyon and emerges from his ordeal a changed person — physically, mentally and spiritually. What I love about Boyle, who . . . → Read More: Between a rock and a hard place

It was a Saturday afternoon and I rested my head against the rain-streaked window of the Valley Metro train. I could see college students scurrying and trudging around under hoods and umbrellas in an uncharacteristically gray, wet day in Phoenix. A clogged manhole cover created a miniature lake outside the the Heard Museum, a . . . → Read More: In life there are two of everything

Yesterday was the day to get rid of some things in my home. Staring me in the face was a huge shelving unit bursting with 15 years of Martha Stewart Living magazines – their spines shouting out every aspirational topic that the hobbyist, crafter and home enthusiast could imagine. What I was really staring . . . → Read More: Out with the old
