Coming of Age at 62 – Different Ways To View Resistance
I hate, abhor, and despise attending anything that is labeled as a networking event. People only seem to talk about what they “do”, in other words, their work. There doesn’t seem to be room for learning more about the person; for making a real connection. Yet, what is the purpose of these networking events? To [...]

Coming of Age at 62 | Why I still need to be given Pitocin to induce contractions
What you see in a mirror depends on so many things. Are you looking at your reflection under sunlight or the gloom that can come at the end of the day, when the sun is setting? Are you looking straight on or standing a bit to the left and only seeing a partial image [...]

What Does A Taxi Driver Have To Do With Getting What You Want In Life?
On Tuesday I was heading to an Arlington Connections meeting. I didn’t want to go, I dread networking functions even if I’m good at them. I was following the directions I had written down but something didn’t jibe. So I went around the block to try coming at the intersection again, thinking perhaps I’d missed [...]

Day 21 Coming Of Age At 62 | Feel Good About Not Doing What You Felt Like Doing
I arose early in the morning yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it. I took a walk yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it. I made some calls I’ve been avoiding even though I STILL didn’t feel like making them. I wrote a sales page even though I felt like taking a nap [...]

Day 20 Coming Of Age At 62 | A red-tail & an eagle fly into a…
A red-tailed hawk and a bald eagle flew into my life over the course of 3 days. Seeing a red-tailed hawk isn’t unusual, but on Saturday during my walk in nature, the red-tail I saw was not to be ignored. It stayed, circling and kettling directly above my head for several minutes, as if commanding [...]

Confidence Chronicles Interview: Amy Oscar, Story Alchemist & Soul Caller
It was one of my very lucky days, probably close to two years ago now, that I found Amy Oscar and her beautiful blog on-line. Today I call her a friend but we’ve never (yet) met in-person. I’d also call her an inspiration and one of my teachers. I hope you enjoy reading this interview [...]

Then the gov’t came for contraception, & I did not speak out because I was past menopause…
Last week I retweeted someone who said we should ignore Rush Limbaugh’s misogynist remarks about Sandra Fluke and contraception rather than give him the attention he seeks. At that moment I agreed with the idea. I’m so tired of Rush Limbaugh and similar off-the-wall hateful, ugly remarks. However, I realized “off-the-wall” was the operative term [...]

Day 19 Coming of Age at 62 | Rejuvenating Your Hurt Parts
Walking this morning, I took the time to notice all the trees. Unadorned with their leaf finery, it was easy to see the damaged and scarred parts. Someone had decided that some of the branches shouldn’t be so low to the ground, so they cut them down. Other branches had been topped off because someone [...]

Day 18 Coming of Age at 62 | Do you feel guilty when you change your mind?
I’m taking a high road strategy. That expression is used in Harvard Review literature to talk about companies who invest heavily in human and social capital. I’m investing in myself, in terms of courses and coaching and conferences. I’m also investing in companies by re-starting my business helping organizations increase their performance through responsible communication, [...]
