And Yet
The world seems to be falling apart. Europe is at war and many pundits fear that this is the beginning of World War III. Civilians in hospitals and schools are being bombed. I saw one picture of a little six year-old girl, with cartoon characters on her pants, who died from an attack on aContinue reading “And Yet”
How To Be Heard and Do What Matters Part 1
Thank you to all of you who responded to my recording of The Rose. I am grateful for your support. A number of you have asked how my music and coaching are connected, so I thought I would share a blog post that I wrote in 2017 for the organization Live Your Legend. Below isContinue reading “How To Be Heard and Do What Matters Part 1”
Tiny Steps
This post is so important to remember this time of year, as the holidays are upon us. I tend to make the mistake of trying too many changes at once and then get overwhelmed. Most of us do that. What if instead we just took tiny steps? I was coaching a client recently who justContinue reading “Tiny Steps”
You Do Not Have to Be Good
This is one of my favorite poems. As the cold descends suddenly upon us and the leaves fall, and the world seems to spin out of control, remember that you do not have to be good. You do not have to repent. Instead, let yourself announce yourself in the family of things. Wild Geese by Mary Oliver You doContinue reading “You Do Not Have to Be Good”
The World Is (Still) Waiting for You
As we Americans head into mid-term elections in a few weeks, I wanted to share a post I wrote in 2016 before Trump was elected, that still holds true two years later. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to restore civility to our words and actions and to practice listening asContinue reading “The World Is (Still) Waiting for You”

It’s been a trying last two weeks, as well as last two years, and yet, I do believe that good will come from all of this. As Leonard Cohen wroteContinue reading “Cracks in Everything”
Slow Down
One of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs begins with “Slow down/You’re movin’ too fast/You’ve got to make/The morning last…” (59th Street Bridge Song). After college, when I got my first professional performing gig in New York City, I opened the show with this song, but at a fast clip to show the flip sideContinue reading “Slow Down”
Take A Stand
As we head into another school year, remember that grades may be important, but being kind and thoughtful matters more. This post talks about our need to take a stand for something and teach our kids the same. Happy Labor Day weekend! I was talking with a friend recently about the strange phenomenon these daysContinue reading “Take A Stand”
Happy Almost Fall
As much as I love summer, it’s exciting to think about fall, particularly if you have kids. My daughter will be starting back at high school tomorrow and my son starting 8th grade the following week. We have a Spanish exchange student named Maria who will be living with us through the fall, who hasContinue reading “Happy Almost Fall”
